Before Shen Tianling acted, he had already calculated the consequences.
Even without using his identity as Xiao Yu’er’s younger brother, just his S-rank Spiritual Talent alone was enough to attract the Martial Hall’s interest.
S-rank talents weren’t something you found on every street corner.
Since Blue Star entered the Martial Era, there had only ever been thirty S-rank awakeners in its entire recorded history.
Thirty people—born from nearly two centuries of effort.
Other people would kill to protect someone like him.
If Yang Sanjin hadn’t tried to threaten him, Shen Tianling might’ve actually signed the contract.
Free resources—who wouldn’t take them?
But!
He had his principles.
No matter how outsiders insulted or ridiculed him, Shen Tianling would prove everything with action, not violence.
But Yang Sanjin had crossed a line.
Using Xiao Yu’er to threaten him?
Unforgivable.
Yes—he was a burden. A liability.
He acknowledged it.
But acknowledging it didn’t mean he had to accept it.
He had a system, damn it!
A proper method to grow stronger.
So why the hell should he swallow this crap and sign that garbage?
A contract?
Even a dog wouldn’t sign it!
Exiting the Awakening Chamber, Shen Tianling headed for the corner.
He hadn’t gotten far before a familiar, obnoxious voice rang out again.
“You f*cking pretty boy finally crawled out of there!”
Green-haired Liu Sheng stormed over and blocked Shen Tianling’s path.
Leaning casually, he sneered, “What? Not looking so happy now?”
“Failed, didn’t you? Still a talentless loser, right?”
“If you ask me—”
“I love watching arrogant morons like you get smacked by reality…”
CRACK—
Before he could finish his sentence—
Shen Tianling’s expression turned cold.
In a flash, he reached out like an iron clamp and grabbed Liu Sheng by the neck, lifting him effortlessly into the air.
“Whose daddy did you say you were?”
“If your parents can’t teach you manners, I’ll do it for them.”
【Liu Sheng, Young Master of the Liu Family, fears you. Reputation Value +1000】
Liu Sheng instinctively activated his talent—Green Turtle Shell.
Green, shell-like armor formed over his body.
But Shen Tianling didn’t give a damn about shells or armor.
His Purple Heaven Divine Thunder came with armor-piercing effects.
So what if Liu Sheng was a Liu family young master?
If he didn’t like someone—
He’d hit them.
Shen Tianling’s left fist clenched tight.
And then—
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
A flurry of slaps thundered down on Liu Sheng’s face.
By the second one, his face had already swollen like a steamed bun.
Any more and he’d probably kill the guy.
“Damn… I might’ve overdone it.”
Shen Tianling thought silently.
He flung the half-dead Liu Sheng aside like a rag doll, sending him crashing to the ground.
Then, with the confidence of someone who feared no one, he turned and walked away.
【Several civilians admire you, believing you’re a hero who rids the world of scum. Reputation Value +200】
【Several unranked martial artists are worried you’ll be targeted by the Liu family. Reputation Value +500】
【Liu Sheng wants to kill you. Reputation Value +1000】
Inside the taxi.
Shen Tianling quietly reviewed the system notifications.
His finger tapped the system interface.
A glowing virtual screen appeared before him.
Looking at his Reputation Points, he couldn’t help but smile.
【Reputation Points: 7200】
What a wonderful number.
“Just wait…”
“I’ll become so powerful that not a single one of you dares lift a finger against me.”
“Mid-Tier Draw—let’s go!”
【Mid-Tier Draw: 1000 points per draw. Guaranteed Red-Grade reward after 100 draws.】
He tapped once—
【Ding! Consumed 7000 Reputation Points. Initiating 7 Mid-Tier Draws!】
Seven draws.
Even with bad luck, he had to get something good!
【Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Blue-Grade Skill: “Thunder Spear Technique.”】
【Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Green-Grade Item: Second-Tier Mental Source Liquid.】
【Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Green-Grade Item: Second-Tier Vital Energy Elixir.】
【Ding!…】
Three blue, two green, two white.
Shen Tianling opened his inventory and examined the final few rewards.
【Essence Blood Pill (Blue)】
Description: Greatly increases the body’s absorption rate of energy.
If consumed by a ranked martial artist: +1.0 to Physical Fitness.
If consumed by an unranked martial artist: +0.5 to Physical Fitness.
(Note: Improvement occurs gradually over a year.)
【Skill Comprehension Orb (Blue)】
Description: Instantly comprehend a skill and greatly increase its proficiency.
(Note: One-time use only.)
【Vitality Booster (White)】
Description: A cheap nutritional supplement for unranked martial artists.
Affordable, but doesn’t fill your belly. (x2)
“I knew it—bad luck doesn’t last forever.”
“Thunder Spear Technique fits perfectly with my Thunder Element Spear.”
“The Mental Source Liquid—I’ll drink that at home.”
“Let’s try this Essence Blood Pill first!”
Putting on a show, Shen Tianling pulled the pill from his chest pocket and held it between his fingers, studying it.
It was about the size of a baby’s fist.
Deep blood red.
Even before it reached his nose, he could smell a strong metallic scent.
Shouldn’t be fatal, right?
Hmph.
Just a pill!
Screw it!
Without hesitation, Shen Tianling swallowed it in one gulp and began refining it.
…No pain.
No discomfort.
“That’s… odd.”
Since when was the system so generous?
A pill with zero side effects? No pain? No warning?
“I don’t feel anything… That’s weird,” Shen Tianling muttered, frowning.
“Going from level 4 to level 5 is a major leap.”
“Level 4 requires 100kg of force in a standard punch.”
“Level 5? 200kg.”
“That’s double the strength—and my body feels nothing?”
“Especially with my Strength Amplification talent, the increase should be insane.”
“Unless…”
“Fusing the Spiritual Talent rewired my body in some monstrous way?”
He couldn’t think of any other reason.
That lightning-zapping sensation during fusion—he’d never forget it.
So!
“Let’s go all in!”
“I want to see exactly where my body’s limits lie!”
With a fearless heart, Shen Tianling downed every usable potion in one go.
Death by overbuffing?
Too minor for someone like him.
Moments later…
【The taxi driver fears you, thinks you’re insane. Reputation Value +100】
Lin Hai Residential Area.
The middle-aged taxi driver pulled up to the destination.
Before the car had even fully stopped, he slammed the door open and jumped out.
He stood beside the car, slapping the window and raising his voice to demand payment—
But then he glanced inside.
Through the glass, he spotted what looked like a maniac, slumped over, frothing at the mouth.
“Holy sh*t, is he trying to drink pesticide and die in my car!?”
“Hello, officer? Yes, I’m at Lin Hai District. There’s a lunatic trying to kill himself in my car.”
“It’s terrifying—he’s foaming at the mouth!”
