5: Special Spirit

Lu Qianyuan looked at the price, eight thousand resource coins, which was in line with the price of a Gray Battle Spirit.

The price of a Gray Battle Spirit is generally around ten thousand resource coins, and the most expensive ones do not exceed twenty thousand. Most people buy them for transition or other uses.

They certainly wouldn't cultivate them seriously.

Lu Qianyuan touched his wallet; he still had one thousand resource coins, a deficit of seven thousand.

He had four thousand at home, so that meant he was short three thousand.

Three thousand, not a huge difference.

There was nothing he could do; his predecessor was just a student, surviving on subsidies, working part-time to save twelve thousand three hundred twenty-five coins.

Previously, to fuse his Natal Spirit, most of his money had been spent, and he was deeply in debt.

Lu Qianyuan pondered for a moment, considering how to get his hands on this Battle Spirit.

Through his Mental Energy, he could confirm that this Gray Martial Spirit was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Lu Qianyuan was determined to obtain this Martial Spirit.

After a moment of thought, Lu Qianyuan decided to go home, sell the Ironclad Lizard's Martial Spirit, and gather the necessary funds.

However, just as Lu Qianyuan was about to leave, two burly, fierce-looking men with scarred faces appeared behind him.

One of them heavily clapped Lu Qianyuan's shoulder, but he easily dodged it.

Lu Qianyuan had sensed the two of them when they approached him.

More accurately, there were four of them, as two others were waiting in the car.

His Mental Energy was extremely powerful, capable of being released externally to passively perceive things within a certain range.

He had also used this method to pinpoint this unassuming Gray Martial Spirit.

But since these people had come, Lu Qianyuan no longer needed to go home for money; someone was conveniently bringing him money, which was excellent.

“Kid, you dare to dodge!”

The burly man's face immediately filled with displeasure and anger when he saw Lu Qianyuan dodge.

Lu Qianyuan ignored the two men, simply walking towards the minivan by the roadside, then directly sat in the back seat, his face calm.

The two burly men also got in, one on each side, sandwiching Lu Qianyuan in the middle.

The buzz-cut man in the passenger seat turned to look at Lu Qianyuan, about to say something, but seeing Lu Qianyuan's calm expression, he was somewhat surprised.

The other party gave him a very strange feeling.

“Kid, you borrowed one hundred thousand resource coins from Brother Bao before, promising to use that white spirit as collateral if the Fusion failed. So, what about it now?”

The next second, the burly man sitting next to Lu Qianyuan said fiercely.

“Quiet.”

Lu Qianyuan coldly rebuked, and this sudden reprimand startled the four people present.

The buzz-cut man exchanged glances with the other three, then the four of them tacitly rolled up the car windows.

“Kid, this car is private. You'd best beg for mercy now, and we might spare your life, otherwise…”

The buzz-cut man looked at Lu Qianyuan with ill intentions, his tone full of menace.

“Found it.”

Lu Qianyuan suddenly said, which left the others confused for a moment.

The next second, two fist shadows flashed, followed by two crisp sounds of bone breaking.

The two burly men beside Lu Qianyuan suddenly clutched their necks, their bodies uncontrollably falling forward, blood gushing from their mouths, dripping onto the car.

The buzz-cut man was greatly alarmed, but before he could react, he was struck in the neck by Lu Qianyuan's punch, breaking his neck.

The driver on the other side suffered the same fate, his neck shattered by Lu Qianyuan's punch, and after a few seconds, he also died.

“The power is decent.”

Lu Qianyuan looked at the four dead men and said softly.

Just now, he had conveniently used his replication talent to acquire abilities from them.

Mainly from the two behind him; both of their Natal Spirits were white quality, and their strength should be intermediate to upper-tier First Rank.

Lu Qianyuan acquired seven abilities from them.

Five of them were useless, but one ability was very useful.

【Fist Speed (White): Increases punching speed and power】

Relying on this ability combined with the Gang Niu Fist Technique Lu Qianyuan had just learned, Lu Qianyuan sent them all to Hell with a single punch each.

His extremely high Mental Energy allowed him to master his body to the extreme.

He could perfectly unleash his body's strength and also achieve ultimate reaction speed.

Even without this skill and the Gang Niu Fist Technique, it would not have been difficult for Lu Qianyuan to kill the four men.

After all, he was a Supreme True Spirit, even if his power was Seal by over ninety-nine percent due to the host's strength.

But what remained was still enough for him to easily abuse a few minor characters.

Lu Qianyuan began to loot the bodies while they were still warm.

If they cooled, the spirits within them would dissipate, and Lu Qianyuan would then be unable to replicate their skills.

Looting a body for the first time in his two lives, Lu Qianyuan was still very excited.

But soon Lu Qianyuan was no longer excited, because the spirits on the two men in front had no special abilities.

They were all basic Elementary speed enhancement, Elementary strength enhancement, Elementary Physique enhancement, and so on.

They weren't useless, but their utility was limited; they were common goods, easily obtained.

Among the remaining skills, the most useful one Lu Qianyuan found was a white ability called Elementary Frenzy.

By sacrificing sanity, it greatly enhances one's strength and speed, and after the frenzy ends, the body falls into a period of weakness.

Like Hardening, this ability required three days to complete replication.

Lu Qianyuan copied this skill; for him, losing sanity was impossible, given his high Mental Energy.

However, the weakness was still a bit troublesome; he should find a way to get a recovery ability to solve this flaw later.

In the future, he would directly treat Elementary Frenzy as a passive ability.

It was a pity that after a Martial Spirit is fused, if it is not actively stripped out, the Martial Spirit will die along with the host's death.

The situation at the time did not allow Lu Qianyuan to force the men to hand over their Martial Spirits, which was truly regrettable.

Afterward, Lu Qianyuan searched the four men and found thirteen thousand cash, then got out of the car happily.

They were truly good people, not only giving him skills but also money, which was excellent.

He would go back and repay Brother Bao, sending them all to reunite underground.

Lu Qianyuan closed the car door, then came to the small stall he was at earlier.

This was the edge of District 49; the public order couldn't be described as chaotic, but rather non-existent.

However, even though no one maintained order, nothing major happened here.

Because minor issues were ignored, and no one dared to provoke major ones; if something big were to happen, everyone in this area would suffer.

So, while public order here was absent, the entire area presented a strange harmony.

It was no problem for Lu Qianyuan to temporarily leave this car here.

Lu Qianyuan wouldn't waste such a good car; selling it would bring in a good amount of money.

But speaking of which, it was strange; although technology was restricted on Blue Star now, mobile phones, computers, and other technologies could still be used, but various heavy firepower weapons were generally prohibited and completely unusable.
