Chapter 21: 21:Martial Disciple
To his surprise, Leon found a new notification that came out of nowhere from that incident.
[DING]
[You have intercepted Lin Fang's opportunity to gain strong backing and change the future. Gained 4 counterattack points.]
Leon was stupefied feeling how easy it was to gain counterattack points. As for kill points, Leon was in a pinch as he couldn't just go and kill anyone on the roads.
However, on his way, he killed a few gangsters on his way to Maple Street, and to his dismay, he didn't get any kill points.
The system then informed him that he could get kill points only by killing cultivation. As for the protagonist and destiny villain, heroines, he would get some irrespective of them being cultivators or not.
Returning, Leon went into seclusion attempting to cultivate and gain an understanding of this power while also going over his special abilities.
He found that fortune-calling can not only find treasures but it also answers his questions regarding the unknown in exchange for fortune.
It even led to finding villains, protagonists, and heroines. The range of its use was quite widespread but the luck loss wasn't a joke.
This made him think that the system of villains was quite generous to answer many things for free while stuffing them with OP gifts.
Meanwhile, Leon, after thorough thinking, finds that the counterattack point is the fate or luck of others which he extracts or devours when he intercepts others' path or subdued women.
In many mythologies, it was depicted that women are harbingers of fortune and blessings
which seems to be quite true now.
And all of this was the effect of Extraction.
The power was quite broken, that's why it had a lot of restrictions. He can't just suck a person dry or absorb power as his will rather he needs to fulfill a set of conditions or a path for this skill to be used.
As for the other two with question marks, Leon wasn't able to guess even after naming all kinds of power.
Training his only sword art and combining it with his martial arts knowledge of previous words, Leon finally prepared to break through.
He tried to gain some understanding of the Dao but he was still a layman and needed someone's guidance but he wasn't that lucky.
If not for the system, he was sure that he would have fucked up unable to advance throughout his life.
[Advancement Conditions]
[Kill Points:25
[Counter attack Points:5]
"System, after I break through how much do I need for next."
[Host you need 100 kill points and 25 counterattack points for next.]
"Damn, didn't it mean that if I have to reach the top I have to kill my way."
[Host, I mean no offense but that's weird coming from you.]
"After I break through to Martial Disciple, what about the minor realm?"
[You didn't need to worry about that host. For you, there is no Minor realm until???]
"What do you mean by that?"Leon asked curiously.
[The difference in cultivation would widen on going higher. When you reach the ???, instead of a minor realm it would be divided into stages or numbers. Please try harder and reach the ??? quickly or go to a higher world to know more.]
"You are saying as if this it's a piece of cake.]
[Host, don't blame the system for your incompetence.]
Leon pretended to be deaf and prepared to break through.
"Begin"
BOOM!
The moment he said this, Leon felt a wall breaking standing in his path, getting blasted away by a force.

"This is some weird shit."Leon smiled.
''If only I had stat points like the game, I could have rounded the stats to peak number.''
"Alas!"He sighed and then looked at the anxious Hector outside.
"Hey, Hector what happened?"
Hector entered with a panic-stricken expression and spoke hurriedly.
"Madam Evelyn called."
Leon's happiness went down the gutter hearing the name.
It was none other than his stepmother.
"What did she say?"
"She asked me about you and your recent activities but I swear I didn't disclose anything except for the fact you went to see the doctor feeling unwell."
"Ohhhh!"Leon curled his lips.
"Cut the crap and say what did she want?"
Hector flinched a bit, noticing Leon's dark gaze.
"Today is the 9th and end of the holiday. Sh...she called me to forbid you from going to Academy tomorrow.''Hector stuttered in his voice and even looked in fear of a bottle thrown at him.
"Is that so?"Leon muttering nonchalantly asked Hector to send a reply.
"Open your smartphone and type what I say."
"Okay!"
Hector pressed on the screen waiting for Leon's instruction.
"Type...."
"Fuck you bitch."
Hector who typed fuck suddenly froze realizing what he was doing. His hands holding the phone started shaking.
"Lord....I can't."
Leon's image blurred and he appeared before Hector terrifying him.
He took the phone and screamed.
"Fuck you bitch. I will go to the Academy and even graduate. Let's see what you will do.''Leon recorded his voice and clicked send and threw the phone to Hector.
"I don't like to trouble others but if someone comes knocking at my door, I make sure he or she is treated well."
'I don't want to focus on a useless woman like you but if you dare to keep on barking, I don't mind ripping that venomous tongue of yours and whip your ass.'
