Time Manipulating System-Chapter 75
Chapter 75
The old man thrust out his mangled right hand, bones nearly visible through the rotting flesh.
True essence erupted.
The ground beneath cracked inch by inch as his fist tore through the air, aiming straight for Gu Yang’s chest.
Gu Yang’s expression hardened. He quickly raised his fist to counter.
Boom!
The collision sent a violent tremor through the earth.
A massive crater opened beneath them.
Gu Yang’s face shifted.
He staggered backward, his right arm numb from the impact.
Even the Subduing Demon Vajra Fist infused with sixty percent fist intent couldn’t block that strike.
So this is the power of a seventh-level Core Embrace cultivator…
Gu Yang couldn’t help but marvel.
“Trying to retreat? Hand over your life!”
The old man no longer resembled a human.
His face twisted in madness, his body covered in wounds and decay.
From a distance, he looked like a rotting corpse.
Yet his aura surged to its peak.
Seeing Gu Yang recoil, the old man pressed the advantage.
He had used a secret technique to force his cultivation into the late stage of Core Embrace Realm.
He had to end this quickly.
He couldn’t let Gu Yang drag things out.
He lunged forward.
His powerful legs slammed into the ground with a
deafening blast
.
The next moment, he charged like a mountain toward Gu Yang.
The pressure he exuded felt almost tangible.
Hidden in the bushes, Liu Tianxiang stared in awe.
His eyes widened with worry.
Late-stage Core Embrace… Can Gu Yang really win?
“Heh…”
As the old man charged, Gu Yang let out a cold laugh.
“That’s all?”
The moment he spoke, his figure flickered like a phantom.
“Trying to escape…” The old man paused, then his pupils shrank.
No escape.
That brat…
He was charging straight at him!?
The old man was stunned.
Then his eyes gleamed with killing intent.
Perfect.
If Gu Yang had chosen to flee and stall, he might not have been able to kill him.
But Gu Yang chose to fight head-on…
Foolish!
“Arrogant brat!”
“Die!”
The old man bared his teeth, blood dripping from his ruined mouth.
Gu Yang remained calm.
He slowly raised his fist.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
“Seventy percent fist intent… explode!”
Gu Yang’s voice rang out.
Golden light burst from his right fist.
Under divine chants, an unimaginable wave of terrifying fist intent erupted.
In that instant…
The old man froze.
“No… Impossible!?”
He stopped mid-charge, screaming in disbelief.
But the next moment…
Gu Yang’s fist landed.
Rumble!
The force tore up the ground.
As their fists collided…
The old man’s arm shattered under the overwhelming impact.
Then…
The refined fist intent surged upward, slamming into the old man’s skull.
Bang!
His head exploded.
Red and white matter splattered across the battlefield.
The seventh-level Core Embrace cultivator…
Died on the spot.
Liu Tianxiang stood frozen.
Seventy percent fist intent…
That was seventy percent!
Four levels marked minor mastery.
But seventy percent…
That was major mastery!
The gap between minor and major mastery…
Was like the gap between Essence Condensation and Core Embrace.
Or even greater.
Gu Yang…
He had already grasped major mastery!
Just over a month ago, Gu Yang had only reached forty percent.
Now…
His progress was absurd.
Is Gu Yang even human!?
He’s a monster!
Even the prodigies on the Genius Ranking couldn’t match Gu Yang’s terrifying comprehension.
His mastery grew like drinking water.
As for Gu Yang…
He didn’t care what Liu Tianxiang thought.
The enemies were dead.
It was time to clean the battlefield.
Gu Yang searched the old man’s body thoroughly.
Then looted Chen He and the other three.
Half an hour later…
He had everything.
Gu Yang began inspecting his haul.
The Sword Comprehension Grass was a given.
But the rest…
Even Gu Yang couldn’t help but whistle.
“Damn, over two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones… and more than four thousand mid-grade ones!?”
“These prodigies really are loaded!”
Most of the spirit stones came from Chen He’s group.
As for the old man…
He had likely spent his wealth on cultivation and the Sword Comprehension Grass.
His stash was smaller: less than ten thousand low-grade stones, and barely any mid-grade ones.
But Gu Yang found something else in the old man’s storage ring.
A secret technique.
Bloodburn Art.
Low-tier Earth-grade secret technique.
“Looks like that’s what he used earlier.”
Gu Yang pondered briefly, then tossed the scroll into his own ring.
Besides that, there were several top-tier Profound-grade techniques and martial skills.
Gu Yang took them all without hesitation.
They were extremely useful to him.
“Oh? A spirit weapon too?”
As he sorted through the loot, Gu Yang summoned a pair of gauntlets into his hand.
They pulsed faintly with spiritual energy.
Clearly…
A spirit weapon.
Same grade as his low-tier spirit sword.
Likely a pair of low-tier gauntlets.
“Not bad.”
These gauntlets would boost his combat power significantly.
Gu Yang stored them with satisfaction.
“Black-on-black robbery really is the fastest way to get rich.”
He looked at his haul and couldn’t help but sigh.
He’d only had around a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones before.
Now…
He was swimming in wealth.
Over three hundred thousand low-grade stones, plus four thousand mid-grade ones.
What couldn’t he buy?
Of course, mid-grade stones weren’t for shopping.
They were best used for cultivation.
“Too bad the auction didn’t have much good stuff.”
Gu Yang shook his head.
Then flipped his palm…
A familiar wooden box appeared.
Gu Yang reached out and opened the box.
