"Alright, I’ve watched the show and handled what I needed to, it’s ti for to take my leave. Farewell, you two." Qin Yuesheng clasped his hands together in a gesture of farewell and was about to leave the place.
"Young hero, wait!" Zhangqiu Mountain quickly yelled, "We’ve received your assistance, young hero, and should repay you. May I know your esteed na, so we can keep it in mind?"
Qin Yuesheng waved his hand without looking back, "Ah! It’s just a trivial matter, hardly worth ntioning. There’s no need to say my na. I’ll just take my leave as ’Great Wheel Ming King’ Jiu Mozhi."
Swipe!
Then Qin Yuesheng made a great leap, rising into the sky like a mighty roc spreading its wings, quickly bounding among the rooftops and disappearing from everyone’s sight.
"’Great Wheel Ming King’ Jiu Mozhi?" Zhangqiu Mountain was puzzled, "I’ve never heard of such a renowned master; the Jianghu is indeed full of hidden talents, unfathomable."
Relying on Qin Yuesheng’s speed, he quickly left the location where Zhangqiu Mountain and the others were.
Along the way, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but think to himself, "Hmph, how could I possibly expose my true identity? This ti, I’ve beaten soone else’s apprentice half to death. If that Situ Xing specifically cos to Cyan Yang City to seek revenge, won’t the unlucky one who has to face him be ? I really don’t want to encounter such a situation."
Right now, Qin Yuesheng’s disheveled and scruffy appearance severely affected his looks. Unless his parents were present, no one could recognize him; most would take him for a Beggar Sect disciple, just like that ng Hao did. This inadvertently saved Qin Yuesheng quite a bit of trouble.
He leaped into the Qin Mansion, and Qin Yuesheng imdiately hurried back to his room at the fastest speed, choosing routes with few people, so no one discovered him.
After taking off his ragged clothes, Qin Yuesheng fetched a set of new clothes from the cabinet to change into, feeling refreshed, he walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Looking at my current strength, I seem excessively strong within Cyan Yang City. That ng Hao, with his external tempering muscles, couldn’t even take one of my palms. It seems, once this Cyan Yang City crisis is over, it’s ti for to go explore Jiangnan, lest I beco a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to find a worthy opponent even for sparring."
He took a round stool to sit down.
Glancing at the super assist device showing 2500 points of All-Purpose Essence remaining, Qin Yuesheng decided to continue adding points to his attributes.
Earlier, due to his encounter with Zhangqiu Mountain and the duel on Huangling Street, after replacing Spirit Talent, Qin Yuesheng hadn’t added more points, but now he could continue.
"Power talent is Shockwave, agility talent is Charge Burst, and charisma talent is Dream Companion. These talents are actually quite useful to ," Qin Yuesheng pondered as he looked at the super assist device.
The advantage of Shockwave is its unexpectedness, allowing for a sneak attack effect.
The advantage of Charge Burst is self-explanatory, essential for escape, but due to its long-lasting side effects, it’s not very practical, and one might not use it even once in six months.
Dream Companion is a purple talent, and unless a better purple or orange talent is obtained, Qin Yuesheng certainly won’t replace it.
All-Purpose Essence -500
Charisma: 50.0→100.0
Qin Yuesheng looked at the three newly erged talents, two blue and one white, and directly gave up choosing.
All-Purpose Essence -500
Agility: 50.0→100.0
① (White) Jump Master (Jump 5%)
② (Green) True and False Phantasm (Every ti you move, there is a 10% chance of leaving a perfect phantasm in place, lasting 5s and destructible)
③ (Blue) Dual Blade Style (When holding two blades, attack speed 30%)
Though this green talent seems intriguing and special, this ti, Qin Yuesheng felt he needed the ’Dual Blade Style’ talent more.
Every move has a chance to create a phantasm in place; just thinking about this scene is inexplicably terrifying.
Imagine, walking down the street, your luck explodes, embodying the spirit of a European emperor, and take ten steps, leaving ten phantasms. Wouldn’t the surrounding folks mistake you for a monster?
If it leads to an investigation by the Seven-Star Officials, explaining you’re innocent would an having to clarify how these phantasms ford, involving the matters of talents and the super assist device. Not to ntion whether others would believe it, Qin Yuesheng could never disclose this tightly-kept secret.
After choosing Dual Blade Style, Qin Yuesheng imdiately spent 400 points of All-Purpose Essence to raise his Strength to 100.0; now, his five dinsions surpassed one hundred, enhancing his power to a level he’s unsure of himself.
Nonetheless, it’s undoubtedly very strong.
① (Blue) Fist Power Multiplier (Charge three levels before throwing a punch, each level increasing this punch’s power by 10%)
② (Green) Bull Bloodline (Strength 10% when angry)
③ (Orange) Human Immortal Martial Path (Combat state all attributes 20%; breakthrough speed 20% in strength realms; significant increase in practical combat experience after each battle)
Another orange talent!
Thus, among Qin Yuesheng’s five-dinsional attributes, he now possessed two orange talents, one for physique and one for strength.
The orange talent is truly extraordinary; its effects are incredibly powerful beyond reason.
Qin Yuesheng imdiately chose to replace it, planning to add the remaining 1100 points of All-Purpose Essence to his physique.
But what he didn’t expect...
[Physique attribute has reached maximum limit, would you like to fuse it with the talent?]
"It’s already at the maximum limit?" Qin Yuesheng was puzzled; he thought he could continue adding more.
However, since the super auxiliary device had already prompted him, Qin Yuesheng could only choose to fuse and see what changes would occur in his physique after fusing the talent.
[Before fusion, would you like to replace the talent? 1000 All-Purpose Essence points can refresh the talent page once]
With an orange talent in hand, Qin Yuesheng would never consider replacing it, so he directly refused.
[Yes/No—consu 2000 All-Purpose Essence points to fuse physique talent ’Unbeatable Physique’]
"So expensive." Qin Yuesheng glanced at his remaining All-Purpose Essence points, finding them insufficient, and had no choice but to abandon this operation.
"Now, hidden threats in Cyan Yang City are too great; I mustn’t let my guard down." Qin Yuesheng then sat on his bed, starting to practice the Profound Celestial Scripture.
...
The Cheng family, a small family in Cyan Yang City primarily engaged in selling soy sauce and vinegar, was usually inconspicuous, and nobody paid any attention to them.
But today was different.
When Master Cheng saw a group of officials wearing Seven-Star Official Uniforms coming to visit, he was extrely shocked, totally unaware of what mistake his family might have made.
Knowing that wastrels can truly ruin a family, Master Cheng always rigorously disciplined his children, forbidding them from visiting such places and bullying ordinary people, pouring his heart into it.
"It’s truly an honor for you esteed officials to co to my Cheng Mansion." Master Cheng greeted Zuo Zonghao and his entourage with respect.
Zuo Zonghao glanced around and unconditionally stated, "This property is requisitioned by the governnt; you have one hour to evacuate everyone without delay."
"Wha-what?!" Master Cheng couldn’t believe his ears, utterly stunned.
Loyal civilians leading peaceful lives without committing cris, yet one day a group of officials claid to requisition their ancestral ho? Where’s the justice; where’s the law?
"Rest assured, you can recover any losses by seeking compensation at Cyan Yang City’s governnt office; we won’t shortchange you a penny." Zuo Zonghao, tall and burly, lood over Master Cheng, exerting considerable pressure.
"Sir, could you maybe..."
"No, I don’t wish to repeat myself; you have one hour. If you choose not to move, we’ll move you ourselves."
Zuo Zonghao left this sentence behind, bypassed Master Cheng, and headed straight into the main hall, seating himself authoritatively.
"This, this..." Master Cheng felt innocent.
Bai Hao patted his shoulder: "Old man, we aren’t forcibly seizing your property; urgent matters need attending to. Please start organizing your people,
this gentleman ans what he says: an hour is an hour; not a mont more."
Master Cheng hesitated but wanted to resist a bit; however, Bai Hao quickly subdued him with a ’Celestial Thunder.’"
"That gentleman is a fourth-grade official; even the city’s governor must obey his orders. Old man, don’t delay anymore; now there’s not even an hour left." Bai Hao said, looking up at the blazing sun.
...
Eventually, due to Bai Hao’s persuasion, Master Cheng reluctantly agreed to evict from Cheng Mansion—a very difficult decision for any family, as a mansion is a family’s root. Abandoning it would inevitably beco a noteworthy occurrence.
But what choices did the Cheng family have? Commoners cannot contend with officials, especially when Zuo Zonghao is a fourth-grade official.
As an hour passed, despite the hustle, the Cheng family managed to evacuate Cheng Mansion, now facing the busy period of finding a place to accommodate everyone—a significant issue.
Once Zuo Zonghao and his team were the only ones left in Cheng Mansion, it beca eerily quiet.
Zuo Zonghao sipped so tea, asking aside, "Has Xun Sheng managed to bring people?"
An official responded, "He has been notified to have soldiers disguised as laborers arrive within an hour; they should be on their way now."
"After uncovering the seal there, imdiately set up the Celestial Thunder Index Array. Recently, you will reside here, ensuring that those Ghost Race schers lurking in Cyan Yang City remain here forever." Zuo Zonghao said coldly.
"Yes." Bai Hao and the others responded in unison.
