บท 21: Off the Charts Acting Tough Points

บรรณาธิการ: Translation Nation

Following a series of system reward beeps, the surroundings gradually regained its original silence.

Several elders landed within the Four Desolation realms and were trapped there ‘till death. The rest of the remaining disciples— without any exceptions, were slaughtered by the four legendary beasts, turning all of them into experience points for Xu Que.

"Rustle! Rustle!"

A slight gust blew past Xu Que’s hair strands.

He reached for the amulet and gently spun it. Immediately, the four legendary beasts disappeared with the wind, dissolving into dense Qi and flowed into Pan Shan village.

"I am done, finally."

Xu Que heaved a long sigh of relief, opened the system interface and his character stats appeared in front of him.

Host: Xu Que

Cultivation Stage: Core Bearing Stage Level 5 (Clear Understanding)

Experience progress: 0/200000

Acting Tough Points: 350 points

Skill path: <Ancient Five Elemental Arts>, Intermediate Level

Abilities : Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation (Maximum), Lightning Haste (Maximum)

Essence: Skill Path Essence (330 points)

Occupation: None

Status : Prince Consort of Fire Country

Just one battle moved him from Core Bearing Stage 1 to Core Bearing Stage level 5.

More importantly, it allowed him to acquire a whole 350 points of act tough points.

This 350 act tough points was a very big sum to Xu Que. It was also the most act tough points he had obtained to date.

"Hahahaha! I’ve earned it big this time." Xu Que let out a big laugh momentarily.

However, the experience required for him to level up also increased. From Core Bearing Stage Level 1 to 2, it only required 30000 experience points. But now, to level up from Core Bearing Stage level 5 to 6, it required a whopping whole 200000 experience points. The difficulty has increased substantially.

Still, compared to the other cultivators in this world, who mostly meditate to train and absorb Qi, Xu Que’s speed of advancement is frighteningly fast.

That was the reason Xu Que didn’t really feel the difficulty. Furthermore, acquiring the 350 act tough points made him extremely happy.

With this much act tough points, he could buy many more items, including the Advanced Rank page <Ancient Five Elemental Arts>, which was just a mere 100 act tough points. Time to buy, buy, buy!

What a wonderful feeling to have such happy events happening. Xu Que recalled obtaining a few golden cores after killing those Golden Core Stage elders and quickly opened his system item bag.

A few brightly shining, fist-sized golden colored beads were inside.

<Golden Core>:

Originated from within the bodies of Golden Core Stage cultivators. It contains the cultivator’s accumulated life origin and skill paths. Upon swallowing, it has a 30% chance of obtaining the previous cultivator’s skills path obtained throughout their entire life, but has 30% chance of the swallower going out of control. If sold to the system, 50000 experience points can be obtained!

"Damn it, who knew golden cores have this type of effect." Xu Que shockingly exclaimed.

Previously, the beginner experience gain pill he ate was able to raise his experience points by 10000. But this golden core, on top of being able to sell to the system for 50000 experience points, it could be swallowed to obtain the previous Golden Core Stage owner’s skill path but at a risk of losing control. This core is definitely an upgraded edition of an experience pill!

However, since Xu Que has no lack of skills at the moment, he definitely will not take the risk and swallow the golden core.

Also, he is not in a hurry to level up. He’d rather leave it in his system item bag for times of need.

After reading the golden core’s description, Xu Que switched to the view of the system store. With pockets full and good condition, he immediately centered his focus on the skill book bundle of the store.

A dazzling line-up of many types of skills, Xu Que was in a spoilt for choice situation once again.

According to importance, he should acquire the <Ancient Five Elemental Arts> expert level, but his current Cultivation stage was still a long way more from the Original Infant stage which in other words, also mean that there was no present need to buy the expert page.

Also, after the fight, Xu Que found out a problem.

He realized that his skill books were too one-way. When he fought, he did not have a wide variety of moves to use and he felt that although he was acting tough, he wasn’t enjoying it.

Although the combination of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations and the Thunder Haste were very swift and powerful, all he was doing was using his bare fists to engage in combat, far from his imagination of riding on a flying sword and drifting high into the mountains of celestial beings.

How was he supposed to act tough with a tough-appearing sense of style?

Therefore, Xu Que decided to exchange for a few more skills books and at the same time, might as well buy new valuable equipments. It would be even better if he could get hold a set of golden, shiny clothes— shiny enough to blind all those other cultivators.

With the 350 act tough points, he immediately chose to browse through the sky-rank skills.

<Imperial Thunder Excalibur Art>

Originated from one of"Zhu Xian"story novel’s skill book, low level skill of Sky-rank. Unique technique from within Qing Yun Men’s main mountainous region. With power through the Nine Heavens, it turns into godly thunder. Using the sword to draw its power, a brilliant might is unleashed.

Selling price: 50 act tough points.

<Buddha’s Fiery Lotus>

Originated from one of"Fight Break Spheres"story novel’s battle skill, low level skill of Sky-rank. From the novel, this was Xiao Yan’s personal skill and was created through the fusion of many different types of flames to create a destructive force. The power of the Fiery Lotus itself depends on the number of the various flames combined. Capacity and potential of this skill is unlimited! (Warning: This battle skill requires possession of 2 or more fusion of different flames to execute.)

Selling price: 50 act tough points.

<Six Reincarnation Fist>:

Originated from one of"Zhe Tian"story novel’s skill book, mid-level skill of Sky-rank. Attack and defense is merged into one. With this skill, earth-shaking strength is achieved, breaking through any forms of obstruction. In the story, body physique was merged with the "Emperor" to hone this skill to its pinnacle, able to shatter any Buddha artifact weapons or even better, rip them into nothing!

Selling price: 100 act tough points

<Nine-Characters Secret> (Remaining Volumes):

Originated from one of"Zhe Tian"story novel’s skill book, high-level skill of Sky-rank. Originally the power of the Nine Secrets into one. However, due to the skill defying the natural order, it was forbidden by Buddha. Hence, since ancients ago, it was divided into nine parts, namely, "Arrive", "Troop", "Battle", "People", "All", "Count", "Group", "Forward", "Move"!

Within them, the "Arrive" Secret character and the "Count" Secret character were lost in translation. When exchanging the remaining volumes, there is a chance on obtaining any of the other 7 remaining secret technique. Repeated Secret characters possible with more purchases.

Selling price: 200 act tough points.

Upon reading till this point, Xu Que knelt down on the spot!

So many skill books and all of them were the signature skills from the main characters of various novels. It was absolutely mouth-watering to read the descriptions.

However, this bundle of skill books had very little skills which needed or made use of magical weapons to activate. The only attractive one which fits this description was the <Imperial Thunder Excalibur Art>. Xu Que wasn’t very keen of it though.

What really perked his desire were the <Buddha’s Fiery Lotus> and the <Nine-Characters Secret>.

Buddha’s Fiery Lotus didn’t need much explaining. After fusing the flames, the power unleashed would be enough to wipe out everything in an instant. Also, the more variety of mystical flames fused, the more devastating the effects of the skill. This skill was an absolute bargain.

Obtaining the flame was a problem. Xu Que searched through the store and was shocked at their prices.

For example, the ranked 19th flame, Molten Green Lotus, required an expensive 300 act tough points.

"Looks like the road of acting tough is filled with obstacles. I have no choice but to buy the Nine-Characters Secret first, and wait till I strike it rich to buy all the top ten ranked flames." Xu Que nodded and focused on the Nine-Characters Secret.

This skill, originally from"Zhe Tian"’s as an unsurpassed skill, showed valiant might.

Other than the 2 lost secrets, the remaining 7 all had descriptions.

"Troop" secret character: Weaponry type secret skill. Using it allows the smooth and natural maneuver of weapons and even temporarily seize control of enemies’ weapons, causing friendly fire even before the battle has begun. An absolute nightmare for opponents.

"Battle" secret character: Attack type secret skill. First sacred attack art, being able to copy many moves. Using "Battle" secret character, one can raise their attack power. Also, steal moves for own usage will be available.

"People" secret character: Aid type secret skill. An unsurpassed sacred healing art. Able to heal physical and spiritual injuries. Upon control, bodily injuries regenerate. Upon mastery, able to revive using the dripping of own blood. The user can even be nicknamed "The unkillable cockroach."

"All" secret character: Amplifying type secret skill. Can raise one’s attributes by 10 folds but lowers the hit probabilities.

"Group" secret character: Aid type secret spell. A special type of troop formation line tactic which created the Ling Bao Deity.

"Forward" secret character: Aid type secret skill, can be used to assist cultivation, heightens the sixth sense. As a result, user will be able to anticipate attacks. Therefore, always maintaining the combat lead.

"Move" secret character: Speed type secret skill. Once under control, speed is unmatched and nobody will be able to catch or block the user. It will be akin to strolling amongst the ranks of enemies. When trained to the limit, user will be able to bend time with extreme speed.

บท 22: Definitely Powerful

บรรณาธิการ: Translation Nation

Every secret art from the Nine-Characters Secret were ultimate techniques originated from various territories. With these skills— which includes increasing one’s attack power, defense power, regenerative power, and agility, one’s overall combat ability will be greatly enhanced through the Nine-Characters Secret.

Xu Que looked very contented. However, it seems like the system store is behaving like a black market. It only sold leftover chapters with each skill costing a whole 200 act tough points.

Also, with every purchase, the acquired skill would be random. It would be possible that one gets the "Battle" secret character twice in a row upon purchase.

Still, since this was Xu Que’s first purchase, he wasn’t very stressed at the fact.

However, he was eyeing the "Troop" and "Battle" secret characters.

The reason was because these two secret skills were perfect tools to act tough.

The "Troop" secret character could be used to steal control over one’s magical weapons, allowing the enemies’ own weapons to attack their owner. The "Battle" secret character could be used to copy enemies’ moves and even raise one attack power. It was similar to Mu Rong Family’s ‘An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ within the novel"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Using one’s own weapons against him and using his own moves against himself, it would be definitely embarrassing for the opponent.

Of course, the "People" and "Forward" secret characters were not too shabby.

The "People" secret character can be used anytime to regenerate injuries. Although the system has passive automatic regeneration, it was very slow. Moreover, the "People" secret character has a more frightening ability. Upon mastery, one could revive any living creatures using a drip of his blood. There was no need to be afraid to be destroyed thoroughly by opponents.

The "Forward" secret character was mainly used to cultivate one’s spirit and heightens one’s sixth sense. In other words, one will gain the ability to foresee moves. With the ability to predict, one will be able to judge and carry out the correct course of actions during combat, gaining dominance in the fight. This skill was definitely a good choice to act tough.

The ones Xu Que did not want to get were the leftover "Group", "Move" and "All" secret characters. It was not to say that these skills were not good, but to Xu Que, these two categories of secret skills were not usable at all.

The "Group" secret character was a type of troop tactic based move and Xu Que wouldn’t use it very often.

The "Move" secret character’s function is to increase speed but he already possessed the Three-Thousand Volt Thunder thus he had no use for it.

The "All" secret character was the same. Since he had the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, he did not need this secret skill at the moment. Choosing anyone of these skills would be an undesirable outcome.

"Eh… screw that! I shan’t think so much. I am going to get this Nine-Characters Secret!"

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Que finally made his decision,and bought the expensive and wallet-burning Nine-Characters secret.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on the successful exchange of <Nine-Characters Secret> (Remaining Volume). Obtained "Troop" secret character x 1. Do you want to learn this skill?"

"Yeah! Awesome!"

After hearing the system beep, Xu Que threw his fist in the air and let out a big laugh.

"Troop" secret character. How nice!

Xu Que’s happiness was off the charts.

"Train it, I have to train it!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully learning the "Troop" secret character."

Bang!

Xu Que’s mind abruptly shook with strings of golden colored ancient characters flowing by like water waves relentlessly. Ultimately, the characters fused into a mysterious force, taking root within his body.

Xu Que raised the corner of his lip and continued, "I shall exchange for <Flame-Devouring Wave> and <Six Corporeal Forms>."

"Ding! Exchange successful. Do you want to learn the skills?"

"Yes!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Momentarily, his body emitted two waves of heat and flowed out of his body through his veins.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Que had learnt two skills.

The "Flame-Devouring Wave" and "Six Corporeal Forms" both originated from the techniques of the novel "Fight Break Spheres". They were moves used by the main character, Xiao Yan in the early stage of the book to dispose of strong enemies in a sweep.

Although very cheap— priced at a mere 25 act tough points, adding the cost of the greatswords needed for the two skills, it would far surpass the cost of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. It would even surpass the cost of low-level Sky-ranked skill books.

During his younger days, when Xu Que was reading the novel, when Xiao Yan held the ink-coloured, dark heavy greatsword, he felt that his character was uncomparable. It seemed like he looked very tough everywhere he went. And now, here he was, learning these two immersive skills. He couldn’t wait anymore and entered the weaponry section of the system store and started to choose his greatswords.

The weapons bundle were filled with many classes and levels of magical weapons. They were split into the amount of stars they have. The higher the star level, the better the quality of the weapon.

There were not many choices for the heavy greatsword and the numbers could be counted.

The lowest class was <One-Star Dark Iron Heavy-Sword>.

The weapon was from strongest godly sword from another of a novel by Jin Yong, a novelist. It was forged using dark metal, weighing 64 pounds; wielded by the sword demon, Dugu Qiubai, he became unbeatable in the world for 40 years.

After Dugu Qiubai’s death, the Dark Iron Heavy-Sword was passed on to Yang Guo. It was later melted by Huang Rong and later reforged into the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber.

The greatsword did not have a pointed edge, since it was rectangular shaped. Hence it also belonged to blunt class weapons. Although it has 1 star level, it requires 50 act tough points to purchase which was pretty frightening.

However, the "Troop" secret character, along with the two Earth-rank skills, costed only a total of 225 act tough points. He still had a hundred over points, and was confident that he could buy a stronger weapon than this.

He focused his attention to 2 star level weapons.

<Two Star Dark Heavy greatsword>:

Originated from within novel "Fight Break Spheres"’s weapons. Used by the main character, Xiao Yan. Forged by flame-type dark metals, this weapon is very sturdy and solid. Seemingly weighing like over a thousand pounds, it has a mystical effect of crushing enemies.

Selling price: 100 act tough points

The Dark Heavy-Greatsword was very similar to the Dark Iron Longsword. However, the blade of the greatsword seemed very big and bulky. Moreover, on that dark giant greatsword, there were faint, exotic vein-like on the blade itself. The vein-like design stretched up to its handle. The carvings filled the entirety of the blade, along with its plain dark and simple colour. It looked rather mysterious indeed.

"I’m buying it!"

Xu Que moved his hand in a wide motion, immediately buying the Dark Heavy-Buster Sword, which had a price comparable to that of a mid-level Sky-rank skill book.

I will definitely look especially tough now that I am similar to Xiao Yan!

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on obtaining Dark Heavy-Buster Sword."

"Ding! Detected that host has learnt the ‘Flame-Devouring Wave’ and ‘Six Corporeal Forms’ skills. Completed hidden achievement. Awarded with Xiao Yan’s Black Robe x 1."

Wow! Damn!

What’s happening? I got a free hidden achievement prize for buying something?

But what does Xiao Yan’s Black Robe do?

Does it have any attribute effects?

Xu Que’s face was stunned. He then quickly opened his system inventory.

<Xiao Yan’s Black Robe>:

Unsellable item. A robe worn by Flame Emperor Xiao Yan when he was young, making it very valuable. Able to conceal one’s appearance. Cultivation stages of Infant Transformation and below will be unable to detect concealment. While wearing the robe, it gives opponents a pressure of immense power.

"Damn. Is this the legendary automatic acting tough?"

Xu Que was very excited upon the occurrence of the event.

Being able to conceal one’s appearance is nothing but being able to give opponents a pressure of immense presence is really something big.

Thinking of it, once the robe is worn, an immense pressure will follow everywhere I go. Everyone will focus their attention on my presence and will immediately trigger the "Subtle acting tough" reward.

"Hahahaha! Wherever I walk, no one can resist my presence."

Xu Que was overjoyed. He immediately took out the black robe and the Dark Heavy-Greatsword.

The moment the black robe was donned, his aura changed. He was exuding an icy cold and deep presence.

Xu Que then carried the Dark Heavy-Buster Sword on his back, creating a spitting image of a fake Xiao Yan.

"Wow! It feels rather good. When I have time, I shall change into this set and walk around the Sects to earn some act tough points.?"

With a contentful nod, Xu Que kept both the items back into his system inventory.

He didn’t want to show up at Pan Shan Village looking like this. He was afraid that with the robe, the immense pressure will cause the villagers to kneel down and worship him again.

At the moment, the Pan Shan Villagers were stupefied.

When Xu Que was fighting a war with those cultivators on the mountains, the villagers were watching from below.

When the four legendary beasts were summoned, the villagers were badly frightened.

When they saw that the fairy-boned "Old Saints" were forced into the spell by Xu Que and killed all of a sudden, they all gained their senses immediately.

Looking up, the vermillion bird and the green dragon had already disappeared.

The skies were blue and the mountains were intact!

Xu Que changed back into the coarse hemp robes. With a mesmerizing smile, he rode on the lightning and hovered down from the mountains with his clothes fluttering with the wind.

Amongst the crowd, Xiao Rou was dazed. With the small and blushy face and beady eyes, she was so adorable, that someone would just take a bite out her.
