C13 Breakthrough to Fifth Grade!!

Pei Yu's physical condition had noticeably improved once again.

As he examined his palm, Pei Yu could sense that his body's hardness now rivaled that of steel!

Yet, Pei Yu was not content. To grow stronger, he knew he needed to immerse himself in more books.

With eager anticipation, Pei Yu activated the system and began his search for literature.

"Why am I limited to only ordinary novels?"

[Your current realm remains at First Grade, granting you access solely to ordinary novels.]

"I see."

Despite having harnessed a peak combat value nine times greater than before, achieving the standard of a Fifth Grade Martial Cultivator, Pei Yu had deliberately held back his progression to refine his bones.

He was still at the First Grade.

"Now that my bone refinement is complete, I don't have to worry about the difficulties of shaping them post-breakthrough. It's time for me to advance!"

With a focused intent, Pei Yu sat cross-legged and initiated his breakthrough.

Second Grade Beginner!

Second Grade Middle Level!

Second Grade Advanced!

Third Grade Advanced!

Pei Yu observed his steadily climbing realm, yet his inner calm remained undisturbed.

Fourth Grade Middle Level!

Fifth Grade Beginner!

At last, Pei Yu ascended to the Fifth Grade.

Though he had braced himself for this moment, the rush of breaking through to the Fifth Grade was too exhilarating to contain, and a smile of satisfaction spread across his face.

"At long last, I've reached the Fifth Grade. My foundation may be a bit shaky, but that's not a major issue. With my bone refinement complete, I can gradually solidify my foundation."

Currently, Pei Yu's foundational combat value was modest, necessitating further refinement. He couldn't afford to rest on his laurels.

"Ding! Realm advancement detected. Access to premium novels has been unlocked."

Pei Yu was now qualified to delve into the premium novels!

Aside from "Hundred Refined To Be A God," the ordinary novels no longer satisfied Pei Yu's advancing pace of cultivation.

It was the premium novels that he truly needed at this juncture!

Defying God (Premium)

Asura Illusion God (Premium)

God of the Sword (Premium)

Pei Yu perused the list, noting that even the titles of the premium novels exuded a far more imposing presence than their ordinary counterparts.

"I'll take this one!" Pei Yu exclaimed as he opened "God of the Sword," eager to dive into its pages.

But the instant he looked inside, he was frozen in shock.

Title: God of the Sword

Quality: Excellent

Chapters: 1050

Price: 5000 yuan per chapter

Synopsis: With the truths I've gleaned from the sword, I can ascend to godhood. My blade can cleave the heavens, vanquish gods, and banish demons.

"System, could this be an error?"

The price tag left Pei Yu unsettled for quite some time.

Five thousand yuan for a single chapter? That's more costly than a whole ordinary novel!

The system responded, "There is no mistake with the price. It is set to maintain the quality of our premium novels."

"Would you like to proceed with the purchase of this novel for 5.25 million yuan?"

Confronted with the system's query, Pei Yu chuckled, "Do I look like someone who has five million to spare?"

The thought was unimaginable to him.

He believed his savings of over four hundred thousand were ample for indulging in novels to enhance himself.

Yet, faced with the premium novel's sticker shock, Pei Yu felt the sting of poverty.

His four hundred thousand was nowhere near enough.

"Guess I'll have to read it some other time. I need to figure out a way to make more money."

Pei Yu shook his head. He'd come back to his novels after making some money. After all, the system wasn't going anywhere.

"Display stats!"

Stats Panel:

Host: Pei Yu

Level: Fifth Grade, Elementary

Cultivation Method: "Hundred Refined To Be A God"

Assets: 495,820

Reading Level: Premium Member

Indeed, Pei Yu's assets fell short of half a million, though he had managed to secure a premium membership.

The last time he checked his stats, he had a mere 120 yuan to his name—a downright pauper.

Now, with four hundred thousand in his account, he felt wealthy until the exorbitant price of the premium novel reminded him he was still, essentially, that same pauper.
