174: You call this helping others?
Time passed slowly.
It was midnight, 0 o'clock.
“Ding…The Strongest Brain System has been shut down.”
“Ding…Congratulations, you have successfully activated a new System, the [Helping Others System].”
Chu Yunxuan: “……”
When Chu Yunxuan heard the name of this System,
He was resistant.
Helping Others?
Does that mean he could get rewards for Helping Others?
Like helping an old lady cross the road?
The greater the deed of Helping Others, the more generous the reward?
Chu Yunxuan glanced at the System introduction.
[Helping Others System]: Everyone should possess the good quality of Helping Others. Next, the System will select three targets within seven days to ensure they maintain the quality of Helping Others and come to assist the Host. System remaining time: 6 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.
Chu Yunxuan: “……”
“Oh, so it’s not me going to Help Others, but others coming to Help me.”
Chu Yunxuan grinned.
“Ding…Selecting the first target who should maintain the quality of Helping Others. Please wait.”
“Ding…Selection complete. Target: Sword Slaughter Xiao Zhan. Content of Helping Others: Gift the Host the Divine Artifact [Turning-Sky Seal].”
Divine Artifact, Turning-Sky Seal!
Above Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifacts were Divine Artifacts.
Divine Artifacts were already top-tier Spiritual Artifacts that were very difficult to see.
Their power was immense, or their effects were extremely powerful.
Chu Yunxuan knew about this Turning-Sky Seal.
This was a Divine Artifact captured from the Demon Race many years ago.
Its effect was that after activating the power of the Turning-Sky Seal, it could provide a certain amplification.
This amplification was currently the only one known on Blue Star that only the Turning-Sky Seal could achieve.
That was to allow Spirit Skills or Attribute powers to Breakthrough their shackles.
Simply put, the Sealing Dust Heavenly Evolution Art only had seven layers.
The seventh layer increased to the Seven Star Realm.
However, the power of the Turning-Sky Seal could temporarily make the Sealing Dust Heavenly Evolution Art appear in an eighth, or even ninth, layer.
For example, Space Power, assuming that with Chu Yunxuan's current Realm, he couldn't release a certain intensity of space that he wanted.
With the help of the Turning-Sky Seal, he could achieve it.
Another example, Chu Yunxuan's Heaven Rank Ten Star Fire Attribute Spirit Skill, Burning Heaven.
Instantly cast on a target, causing explosive Fire Attribute damage.
The power of the Turning-Sky Seal might elevate the effect of the Burning Heaven Spirit Skill, transforming it into an instant group cast, capable of instantly affecting several targets.
Simply put, originally, the Burning Heaven Martial Skill was Heaven Rank Ten Star.
Under the power amplification of the Turning-Sky Seal, it might temporarily become a Divine Rank One Star Spirit Skill.
The simplest understanding is that the Turning-Sky Seal can help a Martial Artist to elevate the effects of Spirit Skills and Attributes, allowing you to do things you couldn't do before.
But as for how much it improves, and what the effects of some Spirit Skills are after sublimation, that's hard to say.
“This thing does seem awesome! This simply infinitely raises the upper limit of a Martial Artist.”
Chu Yunxuan scratched his head.
“No… The key is, why would someone give me such an awesome thing?”
Chu Yunxuan couldn't quite understand.
…
At the same time.
Somewhere in the Holy Capital.
In a particularly large manor.
A middle-aged man who looked anything but simple was manipulating a sword.
“The final step of this Sword Slaughter Sword Art can never be achieved.”
Xiao Zhan sighed.
This was a powerful sword art he had accidentally obtained from the Demon Race when he was young.
He had Cultivated it for thirty years, and it was almost at Major Achievement.
However, this final step, for more than ten years, he had never been able to Breakthrough.
“Have I not killed enough people?”
Xiao Zhan frowned tightly.
The Cultivation of the Sword Slaughter Sword Art required blood as a sacrifice.
Yao Beast blood wasn't as effective; it had to be human blood.
To Cultivate this sword art, he had killed too many Yao Beasts.
He was also known as Sword Slaughter by everyone.
But what people didn't know was that his hands were also stained with the blood of many of his own kind.
Perhaps from the Killing Alliance and other evil cults.
Perhaps also from some innocent people.
No choice, he had to Cultivate.
“Xiao Zhan!!”
A woman walked over, her face filled with anger.
“What’s wrong?”
Xiao Zhan looked over.
“Do you have a woman outside? What a Xiao Zhan, you used my family's influence to achieve your current status and power. I only asked you to love me alone, and now that you're successful, you can't do it, right?” The woman pointed at him and said angrily.
Xiao Zhan: “……”
Damn it?
She knew?
It shouldn't be, right?
“What are you talking about? Who told you that?” Xiao Zhan said.
“Don’t care who told me, do you admit it or not?!”
Xiao Zhan shook his head: “Of course not! I will only love you in this life.”
“Then swear! If you have someone outside, may you be struck by lightning.”
Xiao Zhan smiled inwardly.
How old was she, still so naive?
Believe a swear?
Swear then, swear.
Could he really be struck by lightning?
It was just a matter of conscience.
Had he done few things against his conscience these past years?
But it was normal, right?
An era where strength was respected.
How many people who seemed glamorous and held high positions of power on the surface had done fewer unspeakable things?
It was just that people didn't know.
There weren't that many Saints.
However, just as he was about to swear against his will,
A voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
“Sword Slaughter Xiao Zhan, listen to my words, Chu Yunxuan of Lin'an University, Divine Rank Five Star Turning-Sky Seal, quickly give it to him. If you do not heed my advice, heavenly thunder will descend and sacrifice your heaven.”
“Who!”
Xiao Zhan looked around vigilantly and shouted loudly.
However, there was no response.
“What are you pretending for? I told you to swear, did you hear me?”
The woman said angrily.
“No, wife, didn't you hear a voice?”
“What voice? Don’t pretend, are you guilty? Swear now!”
Xiao Zhan frowned.
He really heard it.
“Not guilty, I really heard it. Forget it, forget it, I’ll swear.”
Then Xiao Zhan raised his hand: “I, Xiao Zhan, swear that I will only love you in this life. If I cheat on you, then let me be struck by lightning.”
After speaking, he looked at his wife and asked: “Is that enough?”
“Hmph! Then I’ll tentatively believe you.” The woman said unhappily, crossing her arms.
However, at this moment,
The voice came from Xiao Zhan’s mind again:
“Little Xiao Zhan, pay attention, why don’t you quickly run over? Hand the Turning-Sky Seal to him. It seems you are not afraid at all. Heavenly thunder will descend and strike you dead.”
“Who! Who is it!” Xiao Zhan looked around, his face full of vigilance.
At this moment,
Above the Void Realm, a thundercloud inexplicably appeared there.
“Hmm?”
The woman looked up at the thundercloud, a little surprised.
Xiao Zhan also frowned and looked up.
Boom—
Suddenly, a bolt of heavenly thunder struck down, directly hitting Xiao Zhan.
“Ah—”
Xiao Zhan let out a miserable scream.
Woman: ???
“You! You, you, you! You still say you don’t have a woman outside! You deserve to be struck by five bolts of heavenly thunder!!”
Xiao Zhan, charred all over, quickly climbed up.
“Who’s screwing with me?” He roared.
Boom—
Another bolt of heavenly thunder struck down.
This time, the power was stronger.
“Bastard!”
He conjured a sword, and a powerful force directly slashed towards the dark clouds in the sky.
However…
Boom—
Another bolt of heavenly thunder, directly striking him to the ground.
And this time, Xiao Zhan was completely panicked.
The power was getting stronger and stronger.
If he was struck a few more times, he might die.
“Serves you right!” The woman gritted her teeth.
“Lin'an University Chu Yunxuan…”
Xiao Zhan recalled the voice from just now.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Above the Void Realm, the dark clouds were still gathering thunder.
Xiao Zhan shuddered all over.
“I’ll go, I’ll go…”
He quickly ran away.
Then Xiao Zhan looked up.
Damn it!
No matter how fast he was, the thundercloud in the sky actually kept moving with him?
What the hell was this?
How the hell could this be explained?
And as soon as he stopped, the thundercloud would gather thunder.
As long as he moved quickly, the thundercloud would stop gathering thunder, but it would keep moving with him.
…
