Agni laughed and then nodded.
"From now on, I should have the power to protect myself and earn martial coins."
Seventh Stage Dao Beginner is a powerful level, especially compared to ordinary people. At the right time, even fifty people or even seventy people at the same time could not fight against Agni at all.
Agni then thought a little and smiled.
"I believe trying should not be a problem."
With these thoughts, Agni whispered in his mind.
"Put 0.1 point into the "Lower Black Sun Martial Art".
With his words, the panel that showed Lower Black Sun Martial Art (combined %37") changed to (combined %47).
Agni smiled again. "I am starting to understand how the system works." In the second section that he comprehended and upgraded, Agni felt that his understanding of Black Sun Martial Art increased a tiny bit; it does have a small amount of combat effect on him, but the real increase comes from the fact that it increases his cultivation speed as well as the effectiveness of his martial skills, such as Black Sun Fist and Black Sun Kick.
"Twenty?" the fat man whistled. "That's quite a number. But you know what they say, The more pigs you have, the more money you'll make!"
Agni chuckled, nodding in agreement. The fat man led him to a pen where the blue-horned pigs were kept. They were a curious sight with their bright blue horns and curly tails.
Agni inspected each of them carefully, making sure they were healthy and strong. Satisfied with his selection, he handed over the martial coins to the fat man, who counted them with a satisfied grin.
"Good doing business with you, my friend," he said, handing over the pigs. "May they bring you great fortune."
After paying nineteen martial coins, one of which was a gift from the fat man, Agni smiled with an evil intention on his face as he killed all of the pigs one by one.
After killing all the pigs, the fat man and the people around him looked pretty shocked.
Some of them even whispered to their friends next to them.
"Does he have a problem with the pigs?"
"Who knows, maybe he was attacked by a pig when he was a kid."
The fat man owner, hearing the people talk, gets angry with them and looks at them to make them shut up. He too thinks that this guy, this cultivator, is a little bit angry or has some problems, but he keeps his thoughts to himself, as it is not something to be shocked by to see that most of the time, cultivators are weird people when compared to ordinary people and have quirks like these.
Agni had no time to think about what people were thinking about him or anything like that. He just keeps thinking about how to improve his status even more.
"For the time being, I am left with no coins at all."
"I believe magical creatures and their corpses would be worth something. With my power, I should be able to take on many magical creatures with ease."
Agni thought.
At that time, Agni heard a woman's voice, a pretty angry one.
"You dirty low-life, because of you my dress got dirty!"
Agni looked to the right side and noticed that a young woman, at the very least twenty, was shouting at a young man, probably between the ages of fifteen and fourteen.
The kid was carrying some kind of common vegetable, and it seems like he tripped and dropped the vegetables, which caused the white clothes of the young woman to get filthy.
The kid started talking with a tiny, fly-like voice, trying to calm the woman down, but the woman was not accepting his apology.
Agni then started moving towards the commotion. He wanted to know why this woman thought so highly of herself.
As Agni arrived, three men wearing simple blue clothes, one of them middle-aged and two of them young, came up behind the woman.
"Lady Ely, do you want us to take the life of this kid?"
One of the young men wearing blue clothes asked, showing the utmost respect for the woman. Agni looked at the young man with weird eyes as he thought.
"Just because something like this makes him want to kill this young man..."
"It seems like I am not going to need to spend my time in the forest while these fools are here."
