6: Bullies come to the door, easily solved.

After opening the door, three Outer Sect Disciples were standing outside.

They looked aggressive, as if they had come with ill intent.

"Fellow Daoists, what brings you here?"

Although Su Yun perceived their hostile intentions, he still pretended to be completely unaware.

By checking their life scripts, Su Yun already knew their Realms.

The highest among them was at Foundation Establishment Layer One, while the other two were at Qi Condensation Layer Eight.

"Kid, you must be a newcomer to the Outer Sect!"

"This Outer Sect is my territory!"

"According to the rules, you must give me two hundred Spirit Stones as a protection fee."

The leading Outer Sect Disciple was particularly sturdy, built like a tiger, and was speaking menacingly at this moment.

The lackeys behind him also gradually surrounded him.

"Don't call extortion a protection fee. State your name!"

Su Yun was not afraid in the slightest.

Having just cultivated several new Cultivation Techniques, his strength had increased greatly, and he was wondering how to test it.

"Heh, your grandpa's name is Qi Ba. A kid at Qi Condensation Layer Seven like you dares to be so arrogant!"

"Boys, get him! He'll behave after a good beating!"

Qi Ba was the most famous bully in the Outer Sect.

Because his Aptitude for Cultivation was poor, he had only reached Foundation Establishment Layer One despite being decades old.

Lacking resources, he specialized in extorting Utility Disciples who had just entered the Outer Sect.

Because the Sect encouraged competition, as long as no lives were lost, the Sect would not interfere, so he succeeded every time.

Today, he had also heard that Su Yun had just entered the Outer Sect, so he targeted him.

As soon as Qi Ba finished speaking, the two lackeys at Qi Condensation Layer Eight rushed forward.

Seeing this, Su Yun didn't even try to dodge.

"Fireball Technique."

"Waterball Technique."

Two Spells were launched at Su Yun.

But he stood his ground and simply swung his fists; without even circulating his spiritual power, he directly dispersed both the waterball and the fireball.

"What? That's impossible."

The two lackeys were stunned.

They were both at Qi Condensation Layer Eight, yet their Spells were easily dispersed by someone at Qi Condensation Layer Seven.

Seeing his two lackeys fail, Qi Ba knew Su Yun was not simple and had to take action himself.

"Useless! I have to do it myself!"

Qi Ba took out a pair of Low Grade Spiritual Artifact iron hammers from his Storage Pouch and circulated his spiritual power.

A red spiritual glow appeared on the iron hammers, and then he brandished them, lunging toward Su Yun.

"Kid, take a hammer from your grandpa!"

Facing an enemy at the Foundation Establishment Layer One Realm, Su Yun did not dare to be overconfident.

After all, he had not yet properly fought other cultivators, and his combat experience was not rich.

So he circulated his spiritual power while simultaneously activating the Spirit Stacking Art.

In an instant, Su Yun's spiritual power intensity temporarily doubled.

Next, he released the Glazed Sacred Fire to cover his hands and threw a punch at Qi Ba.

Seeing Su Yun fighting bare-handed, Qi Ba thought he was scared witless and felt quite smug.

"Kid, take a hammer from me!"

The fist and the iron hammer collided, but the result was unexpected.

The pair of hammers in Qi Ba's hands were sent flying by Su Yun's single punch.

Yet Su Yun felt no injury to his fist.

As expected, the protagonist's Body Refining Cultivation Technique was truly powerful; no wonder protagonists could all challenge those at higher levels.

Qi Ba was stunned by Su Yun's overwhelming strength and muttered to himself:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can someone at Qi Condensation Layer Seven be so strong!"

Su Yun ignored Qi Ba's words, pressed his advantage, and struck Qi Ba's body with both fists.

Only then did Qi Ba react, hurriedly trying to circulate his spiritual power to resist, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for those in the Qi Refining Stage to defeat those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Because after Foundation Establishment, the spiritual power content increases greatly, and the spiritual power liquefies to be stored in the body.

Compared to the thin gaseous spiritual power in the Qi Refining Stage, the endurance and power of Spells and Magic Treasures in the Foundation Establishment Stage are much stronger.

Unfortunately, Su Yun cultivated Heaven-Defying Cultivation Techniques of the ancient level, completely ignoring these gaps.

Soon, Qi Ba's face was swollen like a pig's head, with several wounds all over his body, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Su Yun still showed mercy, because one cannot kill fellow Disciples within the Sect.

"While death may be avoided, punishment is inescapable; hand over all your Storage Pouches."

Seeing their boss beaten like this, the two lackeys' legs trembled with fear, and the arrogant Aura they had arrived with was completely extinguished.

They tremblingly handed over their own and their boss's Storage Pouches to Su Yun, then picked up their boss and fled in disgrace.

Su Yun returned to his room and also took down the Storage Pouch from the ceiling.

He calculated the spoils from just now: a total of 8,000 Spirit Stones, some Medicinal Pills for recovery, and the pair of Low Grade Spiritual Artifact iron hammers Qi Ba had used.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully plundering Zhang Tian's Opportunity; you have obtained 500 Luck Points.]

Looking at the Storage Pouch he had taken from the ceiling, Su Yun suddenly remembered the Mysterious Jade Pendant mentioned in Zhang Tian's life panel.

With these Spirit Stones, it would be enough to buy that jade pendant.

However, his current cultivation was still a bit low, and it would likely be quite dangerous when entering the Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Su Yun felt that his cultivation should be improved.

"System, how many Luck Points are needed to upgrade to Foundation Establishment Layer One?"

[Ding! According to the calculations based on the spiritual power required by the Host's Cultivation Technique, 1,000 Luck Points are needed.]

"Then help me upgrade to Foundation Establishment Layer One first; the remaining points still need to be used to upgrade my Cultivation Techniques."

[Ding! 1,000 Luck Points have been spent to increase your Realm; remaining Luck Points: 23,500.]

The Myriad Dao Immortal Art began to circulate automatically within Su Yun's body.

A powerful surge of spiritual power poured into his body.

His Realm also soared all the way from Qi Condensation Layer Seven until it reached Qi Condensation Layer Ten.

Then, the Foundation Establishment Stage Bottleneck within him instantly shattered, and the powerful spiritual power immediately turned into liquid, flowing through Su Yun's entire body before finally gathering in his Dantian.

Su Yun used his inner vision to find that the spiritual power within him was continuous, and he felt that his strength was at least dozens of times stronger than before.

"System, open my personal panel."

[Name: Su Yun]

[Age: 19]

[Realm: Foundation Establishment Layer One]

[Physique: Glazed Sacred Body]

[Spiritual Root: Top-grade Fire Spiritual Root]

[Aptitude: Excellent]

[Cultivation Technique: Myriad Dao Immortal Art, Heaven Refining Art, Spirit Stacking Art.]

[Luck Rank: White]

[Character Role: Passerby]

[Recent Turning Point: The future is difficult to predict.]

[Opportunity: Please plunder by yourself.]

[Luck Points: 23,500]

Finally, I'm no longer Cannon Fodder.

Seeing his Death Tribulation disappear from the panel, Su Yun was quite happy.

However, this was also to be expected.

After all, with the System and having snatched several of the protagonist's Opportunities, if he were still Cannon Fodder, then this world would be too dangerous.

However, seeing that his Luck Rank was still White, Su Yun asked in confusion:

"System, I've plundered several Opportunities, so why is my Luck Rank still at the White level?"

[Ding! The System has converted all plundered Luck into Luck Points, so the Host's Luck Rank remains at the White level.]

[If the Host wishes to raise the Luck Rank, you may also spend Luck Points to do so, though the System does not recommend this.]

[Ding! Because of this System's existence, even if the Host remains at the White Luck Rank, you will not be suppressed by higher Luck Ranks.]

[If your strength is sufficient, you can directly kill those with higher Luck Ranks.]

[And Luck Points can allow the Host to become stronger faster and better plunder Opportunities.]

After hearing the System's explanation, Su Yun felt it made sense.

It was already late, and Su Yun planned to go to Azure Sun City the next day to purchase that Mysterious Jade Pendant, so he began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing on the bed, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
