C2 Dragon Slaying Battle Power

"Well, what a wild imagination you have! You actually want Marquis to kneel before your mother, a lowly servant. I’ll prove it today that she never amounted to nothing her entire life by smashing her urn into a million pieces."

Ning Loong turned to Ning Qi with an ugly sneer on his face and then made his way towards the Buddhist shrine.

Ning Qi’s eyes instantly smarted from the sting of tears. "No!"

A sense of overwhelming despair welled up from the bottom of his heart. The Super Dragon Slaying System suddenly prompted right on cue. "Due to the host's suddenly entering a 'deranged' state, you can exchange your life for a temporary level of strength from the system."

"Exchange! I’ll make the transaction right away!"

"Ding! The transaction is done. The host exchanged fifty years of your life for five minutes of One-star Battle Master strength!”

After that, Ning Qi felt a surge of strength run through his body. Feeling rejuvenated, he threw a powerful punch at Ning Loong’s back and his fist lit up with a red light from the energy of the Battle Power.

Ning Loong turned his head in time to witness this scene. He could not believe his eyes! There was no time to dodge Ning Qi's surprise attack.

A One-star Fighter was no match for a One-star Battle Master. What happened next was absolute bloodshed. Ning Loong barely had time to scream before he was ripped apart by Ning Qi’s Battle Power. Immediately, a rain of blood was poured onto Ning Qi's face. The sight would be able to strike fear in the bravest of souls. Ning Qi looked like a demon that had just emerged from hell. His face was soaked in Ning Loong’s blood.

"Congratulations, host, you have killed a One-star Fighter. Forty experience points are now yours."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for leveling up by two levels."

Ning Qi’s attributes panel now was updated with the changes.

Host: Ning Qi.

Level: Third Rank of Body Tempering Stage.

Experience Points: 0/40

Cultivation Technique: Low-grade Yellow Rank Body Tempering Art.

Martial Skill: None

HP: 40/40

Dragon Slaying Coin: None

"Warning: With only less than six months of life left, the host needs to level up as soon as possible. If you don’t do this right away, your life will diminish and, you will die."

The system popped up with this notification.

When Ning Qi heard this announcement, it suddenly crossed his mind that he might have been tricked by the system. When he was faced with the decision, little did he know that he needed to spend 50 years of life in exchange for temporary strength.

"System, just wanted to confirm, as long as I level up, my life force will be replenished?"

"Yes."

"Meaning the higher my level, the more life I have left?"

"Theoretically, the host with the strongest Super Dragon Slaying System has the greater chance for immortality."

"Hehe, you say this is only theoretical."

A cocky smile made its way to Ning Qi’s face.

Following that, with steady footsteps, he walked to the well in the yard and drew a bucket of water to wash the blood from his body. He was used to this.

This was because while he was living on Earth, he was responsible for the death of four or five lives. In the underworld, he was dubbed the 'Star of Misfortune'. If it wasn’t because of his subordinate Zhang Tian, he would still be living a good life in his world.

"Zhang Tian, you have no idea that I’m still alive, right? Once I find a way to get to you, you’ll be sorry you ever crossed me!"

Ning Qi thought this with great loathing in his heart.

After cleaning up the blood, Ning Qi had already thought through his next move. He would find some way to leave the Champion Marquis Mansion and make his way to the Tianfeng Forest outside the city limits to fight monsters so that he could level up. He would also keep out of the spotlight. The demise of someone like Ning Loong would likely attract his father’s attention. By the family rules of the Champion Marquis Mansion, if they found out that Ning Qi was the killer, they would definitely kill him!

While thinking of this, he extracted the pill bottle from under the bed and stored it together with the Revival Pill in the nine spaces packaging handed over by the system.

Before leaving, Ning Qi tried to fit his mother's urn into the spatial package. However, the system notified him that this was not a mission item and therefore, cannot be included. Only pills, equipment, and cultivation techniques were allowed.

As a default, Ning Qi offered his mother three sticks of incense to pay his respects. Then, without turning back, he walked out of the courtyard. Since he was still donning the Sin Body, if he wanted to leave the manor, he would have to be more inconspicuous, so he made his way to a more secretive corner of the manor. A dog cave was hidden there and Ning Qi had used it on many occasions in the past when he was being beaten to death by Ning Loong and his group of children. Without it, he might be dead already.

...

In Tianfeng Forest.

Ning Qi was clutching a rusty iron knife in his grubby hands. Clad around his body was a very badly damaged leather armor, and he was moving quickly now that he had just killed a rabbit with one slash.

"Congratulations, host, you have managed to kill a Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beast, White Rabbit. Five experience points are now yours."

"That's what I get for killing a rat. This is not enough to replenish my strength. With this amount of strength, if I go and find a Middle-grade First Rank Demonic Beast, this will force me to the brink of death. I need to find a Fighter and kill them as a way to power up."

After Ning Qi redirected his target, he headed to the edge of Tianfeng Forest to search for more Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beasts. They were mostly all rats, rabbits, squirrels, ants, and caterpillars.

"Congratulations, host, you have killed a Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beast, Green Hair Mouse. Five experience points are now yours."

...

"Congratulations, host, you have killed a Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beast, Venom Bug. Five experience points are now yours."

...

"Congratulations, host, you have killed a Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beast, Overload Ant. Five experience points are now yours."

...

A month passed in this way. Ning had made some progress and had advanced from the early Third Rank of Body Tempering to Ninth Rank.

His Health Points had also seen an increase, spiking at 100 points.

With his current power level, if he wanted to punch a tree, he would be able to break a tree that was as thick as his palm in half.

However, when he jogged his memory on his information on the Dragon Continent, even a Middle-grade First Rank Demonic Beast had the Demonic Beast Power, which was equal to that of a Fighter. Hence, it would be ideal if he killed his way to the Fighter before embarking further into the Tianfeng Forest.

At this very moment, he was running out of time. With only five months left to live, he would need to speed up his progress. At this rate, advancing at Body Forging Stage wouldn't prolong his life.

Then he thought of an alternative way: by condensing Battle Power, he would have a fighting chance.

"I must continue to work harder!"

Ning Qi held tight onto his saber, his eyes a crazy red as he charged furiously towards those pitiful Low-grade First Rank Demonic Beasts which had no idea what hit them next.

This way his experience points kept on increasing.

5/500.

50/500.

150/500.

Time passed slowly in this way. By the end of it all, Ning Qi had no idea how many Demonic Beasts he had extinguished. Finally, all his work had paid off. By the end of the month, his experience points reached the standard levels.

To his relief, a crisp and melodious notification sounded in his ears.

"Congratulations, host, you have reached One-star Fighter."

"Dragon Slaying Battle Power is now being activated!"

Ning Qi felt a wave of heat emitting from his Dantian. Afterwards, his body was overflowing with Battle Power. To test out his new ability, he slashed with his blade and the pale silver Battle Power was unleashed from his body. The aura wrapped itself around the metal blade, igniting it with a force of power. A big tree as thick as an arm near him fell with a heavy thud to the forest floor.

"What a strong strength! It has such potential! But why is my Battle Power a light silver color?"

Ning Qi was stunned. From Fighter to Great Battle Master, the color of Battle Power should be light red, red, and deep red. For Battle Spirit to Battle Emperor, it should be from light purple, purple, and deep purple. From Battle Ancestor to Battle Saint, it was light gold, gold, and deep gold. Only Battle Monarch had no fixed color!

Yet he had never heard of a silver Battle Power in all his time in this world.

"Huh?"

It was then that Ning Qi realized that below the system's breakthrough notification, a Super Dragon Slaying Battle Power prompt had shown up.

"Dragon Slaying Battle Power, a mutated battle power, 100% Armor Penetration, 30% additional damage! It is exclusive to the host of Super Dragon Slaying System. It's additional damage to the giant dragon will increase as it levels up!"

"This must be the mutated battle power."

Flipping through his memory Ning Qi finally recalled that in the Dragon Continent mutated battle power existed but it was very rare. He did not expect that he would be able to cultivate this type of battle power that could increase the damage being done to the Dragon Clan! This was really too amazing! Simply an indispensable method to slay any future dragons that may come in his path later!
