Chapter 187: [161] Attributes Transcendent +1, Wild Evolution Path (Request for monthly tickets, recommendations, and support)_1
 

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

A coffee shop in the city center.

“Mr. Xu?”

Wei Xianren maintained a deferential appearance, but beneath it was an undiminished aloofness, as if his current politeness was merely to complete his family’s mission.

Pei Jinye, going by “Xu Tian,” sipped his coffee calmly, watching the bustle on the streets outside the window without a glance in the other direction, simply said, “I won’t stop you from wanting to join Judgement Place, but since I said there would be an assessment, are you prepared?”

“Please command, Mr. Xu,” said Wei Xianren, his tone revealing strong confidence.

Pei Jinye turned his head and looked at him, “I’ll give you two days. We’ll meet here again at this time the day after tomorrow. Within these two days, no matter what means you use, learn at least three techniques; at least two should be Vitality-related, with at least one of defense. You will have passed as long as you reach the beginner level.”

Wei Xianren’s expression stiffened slightly, “Learn three techniques in two days?”

“At least three. Of course, if you feel it’s too difficult, I can lower the threshold,” Pei Jinye glanced at him sidelong.

Wei Xianren said coldly, “No need! See you in two days then.”

After speaking,

he nodded slightly.

“Goodbye, Mr. Xu.”

The sound of a car starting came from outside the coffee shop.

Pei Jinye watched the other party leave with a playful expression and drained the beverage in his hand.

Two days.

He hoped Wei Xianren would bring him ample surprises.

The martial arts techniques that could be found on the market were basically common stuff, and even the Jiang family didn’t have many defensive or Vitality-coalescing mental methods.

Speaking of which, the Vitality mental method practiced by the Jiang family was the Blood Guiding Art.

Pei Jinye even suspected that the Jiang family had once been eyed by Teacher Chang, but unfortunately, almost all of the Jiang descendants were from the Non-Physical Technique Faction.

Pei Jinye had little regard for ordinary techniques.

To face an expert like Teacher Chang, he definitely had to arm himself to the teeth.

Originally, Pei Jinye planned to simply Devour Wei Xianren, for his Freezing possessed a decent Transcendent ability.

A Barrier coupled with Freezing… Truth be told, against ordinary Transcendents, they couldn’t even get close.

But Teacher Chang was no common Transcendent!

To someone like him, whose depth of skill was unknown, even the abilities he had shown last time were enough to trouble Pei Jinye, not to mention when it came to a life-and-death battle going all out.

“He wants to defy the heavens and change his fate…”

“But fate is not so easily altered.”

Pei Jinye stood up and left.

Using the guise of “Xu Tian,” he lingered around the city hall for a while before disappearing.

City Hall.

“Where’s Mr. Xu?”

“Just left.”

“Did he say where he was going?”

“No, he didn’t, but he took some documents. Looks like he’s on some secret mission.”

“Well, let it be then… The Night Patrol Department also wanted to ask him for a favor.”

“Take it easy, the folks from Judgement Place aren’t so easy to deal with.”

The Faceless elder from the Old Gods Association had also disappeared somewhere, currently out of reach.

After devouring Jiang Suhu’s Transcendent ability, Pei Jinye’s thinking had clearly sped up a lot.

Initially, he even planned not to contact the elders from the Old Gods Association, but after careful consideration of the elder’s attitude toward him, if he requested the other’s help, as long as the elder seriously injured Teacher Chang, then…

Of course, whether Teacher Chang was stronger than the elder, even Pei Jinye couldn’t judge at the moment.

Teacher Chang felt to him like an enhanced version of a heavy bulldozer.

As for the Faceless elder, without having fought against him and only judging from the images, he could only say… Inscrutably profound.

If the elder from the Old Gods Association couldn’t even handle Teacher Chang, then Pei Jinye wouldn’t look back; he’d definitely find a way to break away from this organization.

If you can’t even take down the big boss of a small place, what’s the point of talking about overturning the Federation? Such nonsense!

“If I don’t take down Teacher Chang, he’ll definitely come after me sooner or later… even if I hide, he’ll find my parents…”

“Even if they hide with me… do we hide for a lifetime?”

“So you see…”

Pei Jinye narrowed his gaze.

“Teacher Chang, you must die!”

He reached out to Qing Dan as Xu Tian, hoping she would bring the Magic Weapon and come to his aid in secret.

The excuse he gave was… he had discovered a big fish, and if others came, his credit would be shared.

Sister Qing Dan, wanting to help, naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but it would take two days before she could find an opportunity to set off.

Two days, both for Wei Xianren and for Pei Jinye himself.

Teacher Chang must die, and so must that woman, Qing Dan!

Inside the Investigation Team’s base.

Brother Bi unexpectedly received a call from Pei Jinye, “Extend the vacation? Oh, are you alright? You really need to be careful with your body when you’re cultivating… I’ll try to get you a three-day extension; I’m going to check in with Old Qiu right now.”

What Brother Bi didn’t expect was that just after he mentioned a three-day vacation extension for Pei Jinye, Qiu Hezi approved it without even asking for a reason.

This made Brother Bi wish he could take a vacation for himself as well.

“You really struck it lucky, Old Qiu approved it… But are you sure you don’t want your brothers to come check on you? Alright then, I won’t come, wait for your news, ha.”

Jiang ancestral home.

After the middle-aged butler reported, he brought people to transport boxes of cultivation resources that the old master had requested.

“Elder, here’s the list.”

Pei Jinye appeared in the guise of Jiang Qingcang, picked up the list worth millions, and began to go through it.

He took out two Spirit Meat fruits, worth tens of thousands each, from a box and handed them to the middle-aged butler.

“Elder?” The middle-aged butler was clearly taken aback, hardly expecting the old man would actually bestow gifts spontaneously, and was deeply moved.

“There, you’re not getting any younger.” Pei Jinye couldn’t be bothered to listen to his rambling, mainly because he had obtained many resources this time, and wouldn’t be able to fully utilize them in two days. There was nothing wrong with using some to win people over.

The middle-aged butler accepted the Lingzhi mushrooms with both hands, then left the back mountain.

As the door closed and everyone retreated,

Pei Jinye turned around to face several large boxes.

“For the next two days, it’s time to continue the hard training!”

He moved forward, ready to open the boxes,

when a flash of green light suddenly caught his attention.

An Attribute Light Group!

He reached out his hand to touch it!

[Body·Diamond Extraordinary-Human Genes]

“Hmm?”

Pei Jinye suddenly froze.

This time, he had not obtained a fragment but a complete Extraordinary-Human Gene.

He swiftly swiped out the Attribute Panel.

The original Body·Diamond now showed a 2/3 indicator.

This meant that he was just one similar Extraordinary-Human Gene away from being able to synthesize and upgrade.

He was actually curious about the effects after the synthesis and upgrade.

After all, he had never undergone a true synthesis evolution of a series of Extraordinary-Human Genes during all his time practicing.

His gaze moved downward.

The Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragments showed 2/3.

He was also only one fragment away from synthesizing a Universal Extraordinary Gene.

Naturally, Pei Jinye wanted to add it to his Body·Diamond.

Only relying on his powerful physical body and the flesh body defense that made enemies tremble with fear, he was able to Devour other Transcendents.

If he could truly upgrade… his physical body would inevitably soar to a new level!

“Looking forward to it…”

“The next time I’ll pick up an Attribute Light Group will be in two days.”

Pei Jinye casually swallowed a clean Blood Spirit Fruit and began to cultivate on the spot with crossed legs.

The sounds of Vitality flowing like a great river quickly arose.

Within the next hour or so.

Pei Jinye had two giant Blood Lotuses hovering above his head, furiously condensing Vitality.

The afternoon went by without disturbances.

Pei Jinye practiced Vitality cultivation just to the right extent, not forcibly practicing it. He understood the principle that too much of a good thing could be bad.

However, he had no reservations when it came to Tempering techniques.

Even if he truly injured himself, Xie Zuxin’s Flesh Rebirth could restore his body in a very short time.

This made Pei Jinye quite grateful…

Some people’s deaths, though as light as a feather, were justified.

As time went by.

Pei Jinye once again practiced the Play of Five Animals, then took nourishing supplements, added proficiency in a “forcing growth” style to “Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns”, and then immediately went to sleep to rest, also raising his spiritual power.

He continued his “cultivation” until evening.

Pei Jinye finally woke up leisurely.

He got up and stretched.

His body made sounds as if beans were popping.

He looked at the Attribute Panel.

The Vitality Value returned to the peak of 35 points and even reached 35.9.

Physical strength also climbed to 35.6.

Spiritual power closely followed.

With the boost from a large amount of resources, it had fiercely crossed the milestone of 25, surging to 26.8.

The increase was significant.

But, regretfully…

Pei Jinye could already feel his body’s “satisfaction,” which meant that his body had reached its limit. Glancing at the many cultivation resources in front of him, there was no regret in Pei Jinye’s eyes.

As long as he was Jiang Qingcang for one more day,

it meant he could continue to enjoy these resources.

He could appropriately transfer some,

so even if his identity leaked, he would not have to worry about cultivation resources for a while.

At dusk.

The twilight descended.

As the last streak of the setting sun faded, the middle-aged butler came to inquire.

“Master, our Confidential Clerks have recently discovered that Young Master Suhu might have come into contact with illegal experiments…”

“The deceased are most significant,”

“Jiang Qingcang” said indifferently.

Pei Jinye did not bother with it; of course, he knew about it, but the less he said in such situations, the less likely he would expose himself.

“Yes, Master. I will go to the city hall later to give our greetings,” the middle-aged butler nodded. “Another thing, I feel it’s necessary to inform you that Heaven God International seems to be making moves these past two days… Our people found that the shadow guards from Heaven God International have quietly gone to Tian Dong Road tonight.”

“Tian Dong Road?”

Pei Jinye obviously knew this location.

Because this was where Teacher Chang’s secret laboratory was.

However, the face full of wrinkles revealed a trace of suspicion: “Did we find out what they’re up to?”

“Our people didn’t dare to get too close, please instruct us, Master,” the middle-aged butler said quietly.

“Go investigate.”

Pei Jinye, who had Devoured Jiang Qingcang’s memories, knew that the Jiang family’s relationship with Heaven God was in a delicate balance.

When Heaven God International first arrived in Da Peng City, Jiang Qingcang was not yet in charge of the Jiang family. At that time, Heaven God International was just one of the myriad industries in Da Peng City, not conspicuous.

The ambitious Jiang Qingcang and the aspiring Heaven God International hit it off well.

Seventy years ago, Jiang Qingcang, with the help of Heaven God, quickly cleared away the other rivals of the Jiang family, took the position of Family Head, and took control of half of the Jiang family’s power.

Interestingly,

The relationship between Jiang Qingcang and Heaven God International deteriorated subsequently.

Over the control of Da Peng City’s industries, the two sides once erupted into conflict.

That battle became well-known even to the Central Continent Department Minister Conference Room.

Every day, the residents of Da Peng City would open their doors to find their streets might be a horrifying sight of bloodbaths, until the higher-ups gave orders and the city hall, in conjunction with the Military Department, summoned hundreds of cannons to broker peace, and the conflict finally came to an end.

A year later.

The first chairman of Heaven God International in Da Peng City passed away due to illness.

Afterward, the Jiang family finally lost its constraints and went on to develop rapidly.

“Master?”

The voice of the middle-aged butler woke Pei Jinye from his thoughts.

“Send an expert to investigate. I want to see the current footage!”

“Yes, Master!”

The middle-aged butler quickly went to make arrangements.

Pei Jinye sat alone at the dining table and ate to his heart’s content.

The reason Heaven God International discovered Teacher Chang’s secret wasn’t his doing.

He also had not anticipated that the other party would accidentally stumble upon it.

But if the people from Heaven God International were a bit useful and depleted some forces for him, he might not even need to wait for the support from the Yang Qingdan.
