Chapter 9

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin Luo heard about the one-button clone function, he didn’t even have the time to be happy.

The last 50000 spirit stones poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Even if he became a Martial Master and went to the Zhang family to get the ten thousand spirit stones, it wouldn’t be enough to activate this one-button clone function!

“I thought I’m quite rich, but I’m still poor!”

This wasn’t a system. It was a metal-eating beast!

It was as if Lin Luo could already see the miserable look of him running all over the place to support this system.

He was so frightened that he closed his eyes.

No, no, I won’t.

As for the clone, it was better to put it aside for now.

Although there was a 50% discount on the black card, none of these high-level martial arts skills were cheap.

High-level martial arts techniques cost thousands of spiritual stones, or even tens of thousands.

Without money, cultivating would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

While waiting for the cooldown to be over, Lin Luo took out the remaining two high-level martial arts skills.

One was the “flying bird technique,” while the other was the “thunder roar spell.”

The flying bird technique was a movement-type martial technique. After completely mastering it, the practitioner’s speed could be comparable to that of a flying bird when it was stimulated to the extreme.

That was why it was called the flying bird technique.

This was simply a weapon for escaping!

In the martial pavilion, Lin Luo had taken a fancy to this technique at first glance.

The most important martial skill was a martial skill for escaping.

Unless one could reach the peak of a martial artist, one would not be able to escape without this skill.

And the flying bird technique was a high-tier movement technique in itself.

Of course, the difficulty of learning it was also obvious.

The other skill book, The Roar of Thunder, was an offensive martial skill.

It was so powerful that it could even challenge martial artists of a higher level!

Lin Luo’s eyes burned.

It was said that by practicing the thunder spell, one could turn heavenly lightning into their own weapon.

The power of this heavenly lightning was so strong that even a King-level expert wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

However, the thunder technique was only slightly more expensive than ordinary martial arts techniques because of its very high requirements for the cultivator.

Only those who had close to the maximum level of affinity with the thunder attribute could truly cultivate the thunder spell to its peak.

In other words, only people with lightning affinity close to the maximum level could draw down heavenly lightning.

However, in this world, the number of people with lightning affinity close to the maximum level could be counted on one hand.

If he didn’t have this heavenly lightning, he would rather choose other lightning-type martial skills than the extremely difficult “Thunder Art.”

Therefore, although the thunder spell was very powerful, it was also of little value.

The martial pavilion’s Thunder Art could have been placed on the fourth or fifth floor.

However, because of the cultivation conditions, no one had been interested in it for many years, and the price had fallen again and again.

In the end, he was reduced to the third level of the martial pavilion.

Lin Luo’s special attribute affinity was zero.

However, he had the system. Even if it were a negative number, he would be able to cultivate to the peak after some time.

[Cooldown time has ended. Learning Flying Bird spell now]

Lin Luo waited for the cooldown to end and immediately started learning the flying bird spell.

The flying bird technique was even more powerful than the mystic stone technique, and the progress bar was even slower.

In the end, Lin Luo only spent two days reaching the beginner level of the flying bird spell.

No matter how talented an ordinary martial artist was, it was impossible for them to reach the primary level without at least half a year.

However, to Lin Luo, it was just the time it took to eat a few meals and sleep.

He continued to learn the thunder spell without stopping.

Lin Luo didn’t stay idle while he automatically learned martial arts. He continued to bring Lin Meng’er along to enjoy life.

Supervisor Luo, who had been paying attention to Lin Luo, heard the news from his subordinates.

His face turned green.

“He’s playing it every day?”

“Yes.” The martial artists who had been watching Lin Luo for the past few days were also puzzled.

“He doesn’t need to cultivate?”

He had been fooling around everywhere and hadn’t seen Lin Luo cultivate in the past few days.

“Does he only cultivate at home?”

“Idiot!” Manager Luo cursed. Just how much time does he have left at home, excluding the time he spends sleeping?”

With such a short amount of time to cultivate every day, it would be impossible for him to break through from a martial apprentice to a martial warrior in a few years.

Could it be that Lin Luo’s talent was so shocking that he was considered a celestial being?

That was impossible!

Manager Luo shook his head.

No matter how talented he was, he must have been cultivating day and night to break through to martial warrior in four days.

“Hehe.” Manager Luo sneered.

I’m afraid he’s become too arrogant just because he was able to cultivate to martial warrior in four days.

Manager Luo showed a disdainful expression. “You think you can easily become a Martial Master?”

Manager Luo despised people who didn’t work hard because of their talent.

“I heard that he told Zhang Renhu of the Zhang family that he would be able to become a Martial Master in half a month?”

“Yes, there is such a saying.”

Manager Luo leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his arms, and looked at him coldly.

I don’t think he’ll be able to reach the martial Master realm even if he’s given five more years!

On the fifth day, Lin Luo, who had been looked down upon by manager Luo, had cultivated the thunder spell to beginner level.

Lin Luo’s eyes were still drowsy. He rubbed his eyes when he heard the system’s notification.

“Oh.”

It seemed that he had to find time to go to the martial pavilion and buy a few martial techniques.

After washing up, Lin Luo hesitated for a moment and decided to find a place to try out the new techniques he had learned.

The idea of leaving the city circled in Lin Luo’s mind, but he decisively crossed it out.

He chose a forest in the south of the city where there were few people.

Lin Luo tried out the mystic stone technique, the flying bird technique, and the thunderous technique.

Half an hour later.

Lin Luo looked at the electric arc on his fingertips, unable to stop the smile on his face.

The trees in front of him had already collapsed.

Some of them were formed by rocks, arrows, and machetes.

Most of them were burnt by lightning.

Lin Luo retracted the electric arc on his fingertips, completely relieved.

[The system has detected that your spiritual energy has reached 30000. You have successfully been promoted to an intermediate martial artist!]

Lin Luo was slowly walking home.

The system’s warning tone suddenly sounded.

He quickly checked himself.

He’s a middle-ranked warrior now!

Lin Luo was overjoyed. In a few days, he had not only trained three high-level martial arts techniques to the beginner level.

He even broke through to become a middle-ranked martial artist.

Lin Luo felt that he only needed to drink, eat, and sleep to reach the heights of those unattainable experts.

[You are still 30000 spiritual energy points away from becoming a high-level martial artist. The host can top-up and upgrade the one-button cultivation function to increase the growth speed of spiritual energy points.]

Lin Luo’s expression stiffened for a moment. He thought about the few thousand spirit stones he had left.

Then, he looked at the system, which was crying for food.

“It seems I have to make a trip to the Zhang family.”

Otherwise, the spiritual stones he had left would be gone after a round in the martial pavilion.

Lin Luo went to the Association to get the allowance for a mid-level martial artist and headed straight for the Zhang family.

He didn’t care about the people in the Association who looked at him as if he was a monster.

Anyway, they would get used to it after seeing it a lot.

Right now, earning money was more important.

He just didn’t know how many spiritual stones he could get from the Zhang family this time.

Lin Luo’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
