C5 The System Functions Can Still Be Upgraded!

Not long after, Chu Gang — unable to tolerate the suffering any longer — cried out in pain and fainted.

Taking his dire screams into account, Su Lang made sure to close all the doors and windows earlier. Furthermore, the sound insulation material in this period prevented any sort of noise from leaking out of his room. Otherwise, it would have surely attracted trouble.

"This is actually pretty satisfying!"

Looking at Chu Gang's broken limbs, Su Lang revealed a smug smile before immediately pulling a chair over and sitting down.

He certainly did not forget that the activation of the first function of the system also triggered the Property Panel ability.

"This ability is quite useful!"

As his lips curled up into a crescent, Su Lang thought to himself, 'With this function, I will not only be able to look at my status, but I will even be able to see my target's information. If I use it to my advantage, I will never be defeated. System, activate the Property Panel!"

[Name]: Su Lang

[Race] : Human

[Aptitude]: Turbid Body

[Realm Level] : Initial Body Tempering

[Attack Level] : Initial Body Tempering

[Defense Level] : Initial Body Tempering

[Movement Level] : Initial Body Tempering

[Endurance Level] : Initial Body Tempering

[Skill Mastery] : Infinite Heart Sutra

[System Functions has been activated]: Cultivation Function (Level 1)

"Although my [Aptitude] states that I have a turbid body, I'll ignore that fact for now. After all, I can cultivate even without talent!"

Glancing through the interface, Su Lang shifted his gaze towards the [Skill Mastery] column.

"Infinite Heart Sutra?"

A moment later, Su Lang recalled information about this skill from his previous memories.

It turned out that this was currently the most advanced cultivation technique in Azure Star.

According to the unspoken rule of the market, high-level cultivation techniques would be monopolized and sealed. Thus, it should have been impossible for Su Lang to learn about this cultivation technique.

That, however, is only under normal circumstances.

Unless one was a close relative or a personal disciple, the martial experts with such techniques might not even be willing to teach and spread their cultivation methods until their death.

Firstly, if their cultivation methods were exposed by the enemy, it would be very dangerous for them.

Secondly, most martial cultivators were selfish bastards who wanted to keep things for themselves. They would naturally not want their high-level techniques to spread around the world.

Furthermore, wouldn't there be a possibility for someone else with a higher aptitude to surpass them? If that was the case, wouldn't they soon have to step down from their high position?

When that time comes, they would lose all status, wealth, and influence! Of course, the beauties surrounding them would also leave them.

Hence, the powerhouses' monopoly on high-level cultivation methods was extremely strict. As a matter of fact, even the low-level cultivations methods were quite difficult to come by nowadays.

The high-level cultivation technique, Infinite Heart Sutra, was widely known throughout the world. Stories about the technique have even flown through the ears of children.

A thousand years ago, the hero of humanity took a risk and publicized this exact cultivation technique, benefiting mankind all over the world!

Ever since then, humanity gradually stopped cultivating other techniques and focused all their time and energy to master the Infinite Heart Sutra.

"Unfortunately, that was the only time that a high-level cultivation method was made public."

Su Lang felt somewhat regretful of that fact. Then, he scrolled down the Property Panel and continued reading. Suddenly, his eyes lit up in astonishment. "Wait a minute... Level 1? Does this mean that the One-Click Cultivation Function can be further upgraded?!"

[Host, the One-Click Cultivation Function can indeed be upgraded.]

[Level 2 requires 100 gold coins, cultivation speed will be 2 times the base speed.]

[Level 3 requires 1000 gold coins, cultivation speed will be 4 times the base speed.]

[Level 4 requires 10,000 gold coins, cultivation speed is 8 times the base speed.]

[Level 5 requires 100,000 gold coins, ...]

"What in the world?!"

"Since the skill doesn't have a limit to its upgrades, wouldn't my cultivation speed eventually be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times faster than the base speed?"

"In that case, one year of training would then be equivalent to dozens, hundreds, and maybe even thousands of years worth of training for others?! I have hit the jackpot!"

Su Lang was overjoyed. He stood up from his chair in excitement.

He really wanted to upgrade his One-Click Cultivation Function to the advanced level now. That way, he would be able to break through quickly.

At that time, he would be able to get revenge for the Broken Axe Hunting Group with ease.

Having been carried away by his ambitions, Su Lang then realized that he did not have the sufficient funds to upgrade his skill as he was only left with six gold coins after activating the basic functions of the system.

He was now 94 gold coins away from level 2 of the One-Click Cultivation Function.

"Money! Money! Money! I need money!"

Su Lang paced around the room and fell into deep though, "I don't have money. What should I do?"

Suddenly, Su Lang's eyes fell on Chu Gang.

Although this bastard must be quite poor, he should still have a small amount of money.

With that thought in mind, Su Lang dragged Chu Gang to his house and began plundering everything.

"Only one silver coin and 62 copper coins? You damn bastard!"

Looking at the small change in his hand, Su Lang slammed the door of Chu Gang's house in a fit of frustration.
