I want them all

Outside the window, snowflakes drifted.

The cold wind was bone-chilling.

From the open window on the second floor of the tavern, Zhong Qing slightly extended his palm, letting the biting cold wind blow through his fingertips.

The tavern was still filled with people from all walks of life.

Discussions were endless, and without exception, they were all about the Nangong Family.

Clearly, the three top-tier Families had become history, and the Nangong Family had ushered in an era of sole dominance. The speed of this transition and the unexpected outcome had caught even the people of Nameless City off guard.

However, Zhong Qing paid no attention.

Only when the warm wine on the table was ready did he withdraw his hand from the window and pour himself a cup.

Perhaps no one in the tavern would have imagined that the core figure who truly caused such a drastic change in Nameless City was sitting right by this window.

After three rounds of wine.

His stomach was about seventy to eighty percent full, and only then did Zhong Qing get up and leave.

After leaving the tavern, Zhong Qing signed in as usual every day.

“System, sign in!”

“Congratulations, Host, you have received a Puppet Upgrade Card upon signing in!”

“Oh?”

Zhong Qing’s eyes lit up slightly.

This item was indeed a good thing.

It just so happened that he could upgrade Hei Bai again.

So, without another word, he waved his hand and took Hei Bai directly into the Small World.

The Small World was filled with all sorts of items.

There were mountains of Cultivation Techniques, Sharp Weapons everywhere, as well as the Sea of Bitterness, and various other miscellaneous things.

After not entering for some time, what surprised Zhong Qing was that this Small World seemed to have grown a bit larger.

He examined it carefully and confirmed that he hadn’t misjudged; the Small World had indeed become larger.

“What’s going on?”

Could it be that the Small World could evolve and grow on its own?

No!

He had obtained the Small World a while ago, but it had shown no changes before; it had only started growing recently.

This meant that the Small World wasn't spontaneously evolving and growing, but was expanding due to some reason.

Zhong Qing pondered for a while but truly couldn't figure out the reason for the Small World’s growth.

However, this was a good thing.

If he couldn’t understand it, there was no need to rack his brain over it.

“Hei Bai!”

His gaze fell upon Hei Bai.

“What are your orders, Master?”

Hei Bai stood with cupped hands.

Zhong Qing placed the Puppet Upgrade Card on Hei Bai’s forehead.

As the Upgrade Card merged into his body, Hei Bai’s Aura rapidly strengthened.

Soon, he directly Broke Through from the Heaven Profound Realm into the Three Yin Realm.

This Breakthrough was extremely swift.

It was like achieving success overnight.

From this, one could also see that items produced by the System indeed had Heaven-Defying effects.

The Puppet Upgrade Card’s effect on Hei Bai was more powerful than any Heaven And Earth Treasure.

As Hei Bai’s Cultivation completely stabilized in the Three Yin Realm.

He bowed and knelt, saying, “Master, may Hei Bai request a few Imperial-Grade Profound Skills from you?”

This surprised Zhong Qing quite a bit.

This was the first time Hei Bai had ever asked him for anything.

He felt as if this guy’s intelligence was getting higher and higher.

Of course, this was a good thing.

As an item gifted by the System, Hei Bai’s loyalty to him was beyond doubt.

He was also very curious if the other party could Cultivate profound skills.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing waved his hand, and a pile of Imperial-Grade Profound Skills was brought to him.

“Which one do you want?”

“Master, can I… have them all?!”

Hei Bai looked at the Imperial-Grade Profound Skills with shining eyes.

Good heavens, the other party had certainly taught him a lesson.

Was this like how only children make choices, and adults naturally want everything?

“Alright, take them!”

Zhong Qing didn’t hesitate and directly gave the pile of Imperial-Grade Profound Skills to Hei Bai.

Anyway, he had so many of these things; he didn’t even know how many sacks he had burned as firewood.

Here, Zhong Qing sat at a stone table in the Small World, leisurely sipping wine, while Hei Bai had already begun to study the Imperial-Grade Profound Skills.

He flipped through them extremely quickly, practically reading ten lines at a glance.

After finishing one book, he put it down.

Then, he began to practice the profound skill recorded in the book.

“Boom!”

As his fist force erupted.

The power of Law revolved around him.

His two fists extended, like mountains and peaks, shaking the Void Realm.

Vaguely, as his fists struck out, they seemed to truly transform into a massive mountain.

His Aura was vigorous, and his might was astonishing.

As he moved and shifted, his entire being seemed to transform into a vast ocean.

His fist force was continuous, and his attacks became increasingly rapid and fierce.

Each punch was heavier than the last.

In the end, the mere stray fist winds directly tore through the Void Realm.

It was no exaggeration to say that if this punch were truly unleashed, it could instantly shatter several large mountains.

In other words, in just this short moment, Hei Bai had already mastered a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill.

If this Cultivation speed were to spread, it would definitely scare a large number of people to death.

One must know that the higher the Rank of a Cultivation Technique, the more difficult it was to get started.

If other Sanyin Realm experts were to comprehend Huang-Rank Cultivation Techniques, even those with excellent Aptitude would need several years to achieve Minor Achievement, more than ten years for Major Achievement, and to fully grasp it, it would probably take over a hundred years.

However, the current Hei Bai had already perfectly mastered this Imperial-Grade Profound Skill.

He completely mastered it after just one look.

This could no longer be explained by mere talent.

This was completely a Prodigy!

However, Hei Bai, who had comprehended one Imperial-Grade Profound Skill, did not stop there.

He redoubled his efforts and continued to study the second book.

In less than a moment, his figure moved like wind and lightning, astonishingly fast, difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

This was a movement profound skill.

Its main focus was speed.

Again, he mastered it completely after just one look.

Zhong Qing watched Hei Bai mastering a Imperial-Grade Profound Skill in a short while, and he felt a bit unwell.

He had tried Cultivating these profound skills before.

But the results were quite unsatisfactory.

With his Aptitude, he estimated that even if he persisted for a thousand years, he might barely grasp some of the tricks.

But now, a Puppet was outclassing him by dozens of streets in the comprehension of profound skills, which was quite frustrating.

For the next half-day, Hei Bai was immersed in the world of Cultivating Imperial-Grade Profound Skills, unable to extricate himself.

Any Imperial-Grade Profound Skill, as long as he glanced at it, he could fully perform it.

It wasn’t even dark yet.

The hundreds of Imperial-Grade Profound Skills that Zhong Qing had given him were all completely practiced by him.

Good heavens!

Zhong Qing kept scrutinizing Hei Bai from head to toe.

He had never discovered before that this guy possessed such terrifyingly abnormal talent.

Under Zhong Qing’s gaze, Hei Bai had already thoroughly absorbed and digested hundreds of Imperial-Grade Profound Skills, making them nourishment for his own growth.

He carefully felt his own strength.

If, after Breaking Through to the Sanyin Realm, his battle power was ten thousand.

Then after Cultivating so many Imperial-Grade Profound Skills, his battle power had at least increased tenfold.

Starting at one hundred thousand.

Finally, he came before Zhong Qing.

He knelt on one knee and said, “Thank you for the Master’s reward!”

“Previously, this subordinate’s strength was humble, and he could not do anything for Master.”

“But now that I have reached the Sanyin Realm, and with this subordinate’s continuous learning, I believe there will slowly be places where I can exert my strength for Master in the future.”

It must be said, this level of ideological awareness was indeed unique.

“Rise!”

Zhong Qing’s mind stirred slightly.

Such a studious, capable, and loyal Puppet was worth nurturing well.

He also looked forward to how explosive it would be if this guy unleashed over a hundred Imperial-Grade Profound Skills when encountering a powerful enemy in the future.
