Chapter 147: A New Class
At noon, when Zhou Chen woke up, he saw some little birds waiting outside the window, so he opened the window and let them in to report the whereabouts of the rapist.
“That person is in a mountain cave…”
Zhou Chen was not surprised by this news. He had originally speculated through various intelligence that the rapist had hidden in a nearby mountain. Now, his efforts paid off. He had been discovered by the large number of birds that he had sent to the mountain to search.
“Alright, I’ll leave in a while.”
Zhou Chen did not plan to go find that rapist immediately because he was very hungry right now. His body was still recovering and needed a lot of energy.
Half an hour later, Zhou Chen ate his fill and rode out of Sword Furnace City, moving toward a nearby mountain range under the guidance of the birds.
He rode the horse for dozens of kilometers, and finally saw a middle-aged man fishing by a secluded lake.
As soon as he found him, Zhou Chen activated the Windrun skill and charged over to kill him. Then, as expected, he heard the system’s announcement.
[You have killed a Joyful Sect disciple. Reward: Joyful Sutra]
[Joyful Sutra
Type: Low-grade cultivation technique
The progression of this art requires the help of sexual intercourse. When you are initiated in it, you can master the art of bewitchment. At the partial mastery stage, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Expert. At the full mastery stage, you can reach the level of a Martial Dao Master.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the passive skill of the Joyful Clan’s disciple, ‘Danqing II’. Do you want to absorb it?]
[Danqing[1] II
Type: Mid bronze passive skill
You have become proficient in the art of danqing.]
“Absorb!”
Zhou Chen had come so far to kill this person for the sake of the drawing passive skill. Now that he got it, he naturally chose to absorb it.
“So this person also has a sect, but judging from its introduction, it might be an evil sect.”
After obtaining the supreme-grade cultivation technique, Zhou Chen no longer paid attention to the other cultivation techniques. He did not care about the new cultivation technique and instead began to digest the large amount of knowledge gained from the Danqing passive skill.
“This danqing art includes a lot of drawing and painting techniques. The tools used are brush, ink, paper, and various types of paint.”
It did not take long for him to digest the knowledge. This passive had greatly increased his drawing skills, but he still needed to spend some effort to fuse it into the card creation. He needed to find the best way to combine the two.
“I can try drawing cards with a brush in the future,” Zhou Chen thought to himself.
After completing his goal of obtaining a drawing passive skill, Zhou Chen did not care about the corpse of the rapist and looked at the little birds that led the way.
“Have you noticed any demons nearby?”
Now that he had some time, Zhou Chen wanted to kill the demons in this mountain and see if he could obtain some Inspiration Pills.
However, the birds told him that they had not discovered any demons in this area.
“Alright, you little animals have contributed greatly this time. I’ll buy something for you tomorrow.”
Although Zhou Chen could control the animals for free, he was not a stingy person. He planned to buy a pile of these animals’ favorite food tomorrow. Anyway, he had a lot of money on him and had nowhere to spend it.
In the evening, Zhou Chen returned to Sword Furnace City on a horse. He ate a hearty meal in the inn and continued to study the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
The difficulty of initiating into this supreme-grade cultivation technique was not high. He just had to follow a specific cultivation method to refine the Eight Desolates True Energy.
However, it would become increasingly difficult to progress. First, he had to be able to release the Eight Desolates True Energy at least one hundred meters outwards. Then, he had to master the transformation properties of the Eight Desolates True Energy, allowing it to freely change and coexist among the eight elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, and lightning.
This elemental conversion ability was a unique feature of the Eight Desolates True Energy. It allowed one’s True Energy to have various uses. Specifically, the metal attribute was sharp, the wood attribute had a strong regeneration ability, the water attribute countered strength with softness, the fire attribute burned all things, the earth attribute was as thick as a mountain, the ice attribute froze thousands of kilometers, the wind attribute rose to the nine heavens, and the lightning attribute was fast and violent.
After mastering the transformation properties of the Eight Desolates True Energy, he would have reached the partial mastery stage.
On the path to full mastery, Zhou Chen had to combine his martial dao intent with the Eight Desolates True Energy to condense eight Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon phantoms. Then, he had to condense the phantoms into eight Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon aspects[2]. When his eight Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon aspects were completely formed, he would reach the full mastery stage and become a Martial Dao Human Immortal.
Zhou Chen was not too sure how strong a Martial Dao Human Immortal was, but according to the descriptions in the jade slip, the latter’s strength far surpassed the understanding of ordinary people. It was definitely not a problem for such a being to move mountains and overturn seas, and even face a nuclear bomb head on. Moreover, they had a long lifespan and could live for thousands of years.
“This cultivation technique will be my main combat strength in the future. As long as I train in it properly, there should not be a problem regarding my offensive strength. As for the Card Creator, it will be my auxiliary class.”
Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with the supreme-grade cultivation technique he had obtained after risking his life in the White Jade Capital. He decided to shift his focus to it in the future.
“It’s time to test how fast my cultivation speed is with the Pure Yang Overlord Body.”
Zhou Chen felt that his body had completely recovered and he no longer needed to put in extra care. Therefore, he prepared to stay up late to train and see if he could initiate in the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
The next day arrived quickly. Zhou Chen was still training in his room. Suddenly, his clothes fluttered without wind, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Success… Not only did I refine the Eight Desolates True Energy, I can even barely release it. The Pure Yang Overlord Body is indeed suitable for martial art cultivation.”
Zhou Chen had never dared to think that with his aptitude, he would be able to initiate into a supreme-grade cultivation technique in a day or two. But now, he had succeeded. This was thanks to the Pure Yang Overlord Body talent that he had awakened with the help of the Inspiration Pills. This talent filled him with confidence in mastering this technique.
[You have successfully initiated into a class. You have become: Martial Artist (Initiated).]
At this moment, the system suddenly sent a notification to Zhou Chen, telling him that he had taken on another class.
“Martial artists are also considered a class? I guess it makes sense, I am a martial artist of this world. The martial artists of this world are indeed extraordinary.”
After becoming a dual-class Survivor, Zhou Chen left the room to have food. Then, he went to the market and bought some fruits, meat, and other ingredients and moved them to the nearby mountain to reward the animals that had helped him find the rapist.
