301: Want to take a spontaneous trip?

Ding.

A notification chimed on the spirit net.

Lu Yiyi had ultimately sent the money over.

And it was a million crystal coins!

Along with it came an internal discount sequence number for the Martial Arts Hall.

Furthermore, there was a secret manual concerning the divine blood heavenly stone.

Pfft.

"I really can't hide anything from her."

Ye Su was speechless.

The divine blood heavenly stone had caused quite a stir in the Universe for a while.

That powerful expert had blasted through the Ruined World.

Yet, in the end, they didn't obtain the divine blood heavenly stone.

Immediately following that was a massive compensation payout—that Ruined World was capable of continuously generating various resources.

Failing to get the divine blood heavenly stone while having to pay a fortune in compensation.

That expert was furious.

Lu Yiyi sending the secret manual was her way of telling Ye Su not to bring that thing out.

Once exposed, the consequences would be explosive.

"Only with a generous financial backer like this can I keep my little life."

Ye Su said with a smirk.

Afterward, having money meant spending it.

The Ruined World had already proven it.

While the heavens will intensity model was very rigid, the power it represented was no lie.

Bigger means stronger, higher means more powerful!

With money, it was time to grind Martial Arts Ranks!

The heavy artifact great cauldron.

True God!

Ye Su began his spending spree.

The door to the secret room opened, and blank jade tablets were brought in.

This time, the goal was to advance the Ape Fist.

To push it as high as it could go.

Improving everything on average was not as good as pushing one thing to the limit.

"100 square crystals, Rank 6 Ape Fist!"

"This is easy!"

Ye Su's understanding of the Ape Fist surpassed his other Martial Arts.

The heart ape was constantly elevating his comprehension of the Ape Fist.

After the Rank 5 Ape Fist was inscribed, he directly used the heavy artifact to evolve it to Rank 6.

And then.

Rank 7 cost 1,000 square crystals.

Rank 8 cost 10,000 square crystals.

Rank 9 cost 100,000 square crystals.

Rank 10— "Hey, Lu Yiyi, lend me another hundred thousand, it's a Jianghu emergency—"

Ye Su was asking for more money.

Lu Yiyi mocked Ye Su for being a pauper and even teased him to sell the sacred blood stone.

Ye Su refused.

So, Lu Yiyi sent over a hundred thousand.

She actually gave it!

It seemed she was willing to invest heavily in this cataclysm exploration.

"Lu Yiyi, you're so rich."

Ye Su tried to suck up to her;

"So, can you give me another ten million square crystals? Consider it a loan."

Lu Yiyi: ---Fine.

Lu Yiyi would give money, but she wasn't a sucker.

What a pity.

Ye Su was still comfortable with the Rank 10 Ape Fist.

If he really wanted to evolve it further, he could probably handle Rank 11.

But he was out of money.

"So, those guys who use Rank 18 or 19 Martial Arts at every turn, just how much money do their races dump into them?"

Ye Su found it a bit hard to fathom.

That kind of Prodigy.

To truly cultivate one of them.

The value was simply immeasurable.

No wonder only the Great Clans would choose such a path; smaller races shouldn't even dream of it.

However.

A Rank 10 Ape Fist was sufficient for now.

Currently, Ye Su's heavens will intensity coefficient was exaggerated.

[1+1+1+2+2]*10=70!

It directly surpassed the limit that an Ascension Level Two could reach.

Even if someone had an exaggerated Rank 20 Cultivation Technique, they would only have 60 points of intensity. Even with top-tier psionic machinery and top-tier Blood Qi Heavy Armor, it would be impossible to exceed 70 points.

At the Ascension Level Two Rank.

Ye Su could now confidently say:

Invincible among his peers!

But.

For cataclysm exploration, this strength was only average.

After all, high-level Ascenders would be going.

Ye Su only sought self-preservation at best, not to sweep through everyone.

Rank 10 Ape Fist.

His wealth was completely drained.

And this was with the more economical method of using the heavy artifact.

If he were to buy it from the Martial Arts Hall.

A million crystal coins wouldn't even get him close to a Rank 10 Martial Art.

Even with a discount, it wouldn't work.

After the money was spent.

Ye Su began to plot regarding the ancient heavenly will.

This thing was a truly rare treasure.

The Ruined World had shattered, and that fellow didn't know how much money he'd lost, precisely because there was no precedent for it producing ancient heavenly will.

Otherwise.

That guy wouldn't have dared to break the Ruined World.

Because he couldn't afford the compensation.

If Ye Su hadn't obtained the ancient heavenly will, Lu Yiyi probably wouldn't have guessed that the divine blood heavenly stone was in his hands.

Without the countdown to a powerful expert rushing over.

Ye Su had many ways to secretly obtain the divine blood heavenly stone.

It could only be said that every action has its consequence; such is Karma.

"After reaching a high Rank in Martial Arts, integrating ancient heavenly will into it will produce unpredictable positive changes."

"Ape Fist... isn't suitable, it's only Rank 10."

"What about the White Head Great Profound Scripture?"

"Using... no."

"Predicting one second is already extremely perverted, and this Calamity Aura won't leak out for the time being."

"Once it Ranks up or is strengthened by the ancient heavenly will, predicting two or three more seconds might make the Calamity Aura impossible to suppress, and then I'll have nowhere to run."

Who would dare to walk through the Universe carrying a Calamity Aura?

Even for the members of the Calamity Mercenary Group, their Calamity Auras are all on record.

If you walk through the Universe with this aura.

You'll be sliced up for research in minutes!

"Good things really do attract unwanted attention."

The ancient heavenly will was too good.

Like a top-tier treasure in the real world.

Once it appeared, with Ye Su's status, he wouldn't be able to keep it at all.

In the end, it would come down to that saying:

"An ordinary man's innocence is his crime if he possesses a jade treasure!"

It would be tragic.

"I can only keep it in my collection and wait until I have enough strength to use it."

"Maybe I can even trap a bunch of people like this..."

---Strengthening could only go this far for now.

While Ye Su waited for Lu Yiyi's side to prepare the matrix, he also wandered around various places.

During this time, he went to see the Golden Crow.

It was a smart person.

A new solar term had begun, and Ye Su might be leaving soon.

Then the connection with the Golden Crow Clan was right before his eyes.

So while Ye Su was walking, it was constantly filling him in on common knowledge of the Universe.

It was very diligent.

After all, being from the Golden Crow Clan, it knew much more than the peripheral Tiangong Clan on Gong Li's side.

The first thing they talked about.

Was called the Doxing Method!

That is, before fighting, you doxx them first.

Only by doxxing do you know the other party's background.

What if this brat looks ordinary, but has a Sovereign Old Ancestor?

Would you still dare to make a move?

Wouldn't you be finished?

Then there was spirit net price gouging!

Which meant when you wanted to slaughter someone, you first contacted their family.

Once they paid enough, the family would compromise in advance.

Get the money first, then kill.

To avoid being extorted afterward!

Ye Su listened, completely stunned.

The Universe...

You're too twisted!

Basically, life has been completely alienated.

Wealth is everything.

Even if you kill someone at will, as long as you give enough compensation, their family will even cheer you on—a world like this, a Universe like this.

It simply makes one's skin crawl!

"Has the Universe always been like this?"

"It's always been like this!"

"But just because it's always been like this, does that make it right?"

"Hmm? What are you pretending for? If you're so capable, go change it, or join my Sun Worship Cult, and I'll change the future."

"Never mind then..."

Ye Su was utterly speechless.

Finally, he went to find Shanjun.

On Elf Planet, Shanjun was considered to be developing quite well.

Lava Hell hadn't oppressed them too harshly either.

The key was that Shanjun's side had developed a Demon Power system.

Fire Elementals want to use magic attacks?

My Demon Power system is specifically designed to consume you!

That's how the current balance was maintained!

The first moment Ye Su saw Shanjun, he said;

"Shanjun, do you want to go on a spontaneous trip?"
