Chapter 33: Give Me One Shot
Chapter 33: Give Me One Shot
“Ding, the Divine Devil Dojo transformation is complete.”
“Ding, the True Void Realm analysis is finished. The mortal world, the cultivation world, levels are divided into: Martial Arts Ninth Stage, Innate Realm, Foundation Building, Dao Fruit, Divine Power, Longevity, King Sealing, Emperor, Great Emperor.”
“Ding, products have been adjusted. Divine-level Cultivation Methods are divided into: Beginner, Innate… Great Emperor Chapter.”
“Ding, the Bloodline Activation series elementary chapters are unlocked.”
“Ding, God-Demon Snacks have entered the elementary stage, adjusted to suit this world.”
“Ding, the Turntable has entered the elementary stage, rewards changed.”
“Ding…”
A series of system prompt sounds kept ringing in his mind. Jiang Taixuan pushed open the dojo door and was stunned where he stood.
“This… this is my hut?”
Jiang Taixuan widened his eyes, looking inside in disbelief. This was no hut; this was a whole space!
Viewed from outside, it was still a hut. But the interior space was more than ten times larger than before. There were two more shelves, wider and taller, with many more compartments. The Divine-level Cultivation Methods were completely separated now.
Beginner (50 Yuan Coins.), Innate (1 Yuan Crystal), Foundation Building (10 Yuan Crystals), Dao Fruit Chapter (100 Yuan Crystals), Divine Power Chapter (1000 Yuan Crystals), Chapter of Eternal Life (10000 Yuan Crystals), King Chapter (30000 Yuan Crystals).
Emperor Chapter (40000 Yuan Crystals), Great Emperor Chapter (50000 Yuan Crystals)
“This… were the earlier stages sold too cheap? The later ones are somewhat expensive.” Jiang Taixuan opened his mouth. From Beginner to Foundation Building, any family could afford these.
It started getting expensive from the Dao Fruit Chapter—one hundred Yuan Crystals, which was ten thousand Yuan Coins. These families could probably afford it by digging into their savings.
The later techniques, like Longevity, King, Emperor, and Great Emperor Chapters, even selling the entire Clear Moon City couldn’t buy those.
Moreover, buying them all separately added up to over fifty thousand Yuan Crystals more than the complete set.
“Ding, detected that this world’s rules are too low-level. One of the Divine Devil Dojo’s tenets is to cultivate Gods and Demons, so naturally, we can’t let customers be unable to afford things. Hence, selling separately. As for later stages, buying individually is definitely more expensive than the full set!”
Jiang Taixuan swallowed. Alright, had he known this, he wouldn’t have spent all his money. Keeping it would have been better.
“The God-Demon Snacks changed too. A strand of Innate Spiritual Energy was split into ten parts, ten wisps. One wisp costs five hundred Yuan Coins. This one isn’t more expensive.”
“The God-Demon Pill didn’t change. The Innate Spirit Stone didn’t change. But there’s a new Divine Blood Pill that can promote God-Demon bloodline evolution.”
“Ding, host has advanced to the Innate Realm. The option to shorten snack [effect?] by one day is available.”
“The forging blueprints were also split, from Beginner to Great Emperor. The prices are actually the same as the techniques. Thinking about it, makes sense—this is a method for forging Divine Artifacts. After forging, they can even evolve, these Divine Artifacts!”
Moreover, these blueprints don’t need skilled craftsmen at all. As long as you gather the materials, buy the blueprint, and drip blood on the blueprint, it will automatically forge. And you can choose the style and attributes at will. With this blueprint out, blacksmiths can be out of a job.
Jiang Taixuan inspected the dojo. Physique, bloodline, cultivation techniques, forging blueprints, snacks—all were placed on the shelves.
The Turntable also changed. Apart from the daily divine-level reward, there was a pile of junk—ordinary stones, ordinary rice, all garbage, barely better than ‘thanks for participating,’ at least not empty-handed.
The snacks at his counter were still there, considered his snack storage spot.
“Bloodline area, Activation series, elementary. Activation Hand costs one hundred Yuan Coins per use, can activate all low-level divine and below bloodlines.”
“Elementary Bloodline Activation series, purchase price: ten thousand Yuan Crystals.”
“Ding, host’s cultivation improved, reward obtained: can use Activation Hand for free once daily, cannot accumulate.”
“Holy crap, hurry up, Activation Hand, give me one shot.”
Jiang Taixuan was overjoyed and quickly used today’s privilege.
The Activation Hand could activate all low-level divine and below bloodlines. He gave himself one shot. If an awesome Divine Bloodline came out, he’d be a peerless genius, an unparalleled monster!
He saw the Bloodline Activation series extend a crystalline, jade-like hand, gently brushing over his forehead. A soft white light flashed, making his whole body comfortable. Then, then nothing.
There was no special phenomenon. It just felt like being touched once, feeling comfortable once.
Jiang Taixuan stared blankly at the Bloodline Activation series. “System, where’s my bloodline?”
“Host, you’re overthinking it. What bloodline do you have?” the System sneered.
“…”
Alright, Jiang Taixuan felt ashamed. As the Divine Devil Dojo Master, he didn’t even have the most garbage bloodline. This level of coolness was way too low.
“Dojo Master.” The three Gods and Demons also walked in.
“You all go hang on the tree quickly. I don’t want to see you right now.” Jiang Taixuan looked displeased.
The three Gods and Demons quickly left. Li Yuanba whispered, “What’s wrong with the Dojo Master?”
“Hey, standing in the bloodline area, he must have used the Activation Hand and found out he has no bloodline, unable to accept reality.” Wu Song said.
Li Guang nodded repeatedly. “The Dojo Master’s physique is mortal world trash. If he had a bloodline, it would have activated when the dojo opened.”
“You all…”
Jiang Taixuan looked indignant. Couldn’t they say something nice to comfort him?
Closing the dojo door, Jiang Taixuan went straight to sleep, too lazy to even cultivate. He was really in a bad mood today, not a shred of the joy from breaking through to the Innate Realm.
The night passed. Early the next morning, Ximen the Fatty ran over, face swollen and bruised, crying out, “Brother Xuan, save me!”
Jiang Taixuan was stunned and said in surprise, “What happened to you? Who did this?”
“Wu Song! Last night he dragged me out and tortured me all night, wuwu.” Ximen the Fatty cried. Last night’s torture was truly miserable, almost leaving a psychological shadow.
“Ahem.” Jiang Taixuan coughed dryly and said seriously, “Don’t worry. Since Wu Song dared bully you like this, I will definitely talk to him.”
“Thank you, Brother Xuan.”
“You’re welcome. I’ll tell him to go a bit lighter.”
“…”
“Field Master, look! The Hunting Competition results are out.” Li Guang ran over, a virtual panel in front of him.
“They’re out, so what? What’s so interesting?” Jiang Taixuan didn’t understand but still logged into the Celestial Network.
“Holy crap, the Hunting Competition: four tied for first, one second place, four third places. The gap between fourth place and the top three is like the sky falling!”
“There are ties for this?” Jiang Taixuan widened his eyes, looking at the post.
Hunting Competition assessment results: Cheating, or layers of insider dealings? What secrets do these top three have? First breaking news, not yet confirmed!
First Place: Tang Yuelu, Chen Luo, Wang Mingming, Chen Chong. Results: each with twenty Foundation Building Demonic Beasts.
Second Place: Yuan Qing, ten Foundation Building Demonic Beasts.
Third Place: Feng Hao, Meng Qingqing, Qin Long, Pang Jin. Two Foundation Building Demonic Beasts, plus a Foundation Building Demonic Beast cub.
Fourth Place: Clear Moon Academy genius, Martial Arts Ninth Stage Yu Ming. Results… three ninth-stage demon beasts, two Innate Monster Beasts.
Fifth Place: Clear Moon Academy Mentor, one Innate Monster Beast.
Sixth Place:…
“This… they really dare to play.” Jiang Taixuan’s mouth twitched. These ruthless people, cheating way too obviously.
The top three all have Foundation Building Demonic Beasts. First and second places have more than ten. Most importantly, these people aren’t even at the Innate Realm.
And these people actually tied, with exactly the same results, completely unable to determine who was higher or lower, so they tied.
“With this kind of result, I want to see how you’ll explain it.” Jiang Taixuan scrolled down and found it was all questions. But they weren’t the Hunting Competition hosts; questioning was useless, waiting for the person in charge to announce.
No one would believe these people were so strong, not Innate yet killing Foundation Building. Saying it out loud, no one would dare believe it.
Right now, they were probably still investigating the cause. Jiang Taixuan stroked his chin. He wasn’t worried about someone coming to find him here; he was worried these few customers might play themselves to death.
