Chapter 2: Cultivators In The Sky & Rent Problem

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In an apartment in the outer city of Shanghai, Su Hao woke up. He rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

He remembered the reward he received before he fell asleep. He chanted excitedly in his mind, “Open the Novice Gift.”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Adamantine Tang Saber. All attributes have been increased by 25 (the average citizen’s stats are 5). The host has completed the unlocking system. Your constitution has been strengthened. In the midst of strengthening…”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully enhancing. The host’s current attribute is 30 Constitution, 30 Agility, 30 Strength.”

The system’s cold female voice resounded in his mind once again. After she finished speaking, Su Hao felt that his body had undergone a huge change. The exhaustion that he felt after drawing his blade was also swept away at this moment.

His body also changed. His originally skinny body began to shift. The abdominal muscles on his abdomen became eight packs. His tiny arms and legs became firmer and muscular.

In an instant, Su Hao’s figure transformed from that of a weak young man to that of a healthy and strong body.

Su Hao, who was obviously aware of the changes in his body, clenched his fists. He looked at the table in the living room and was tempted to make a move. He then punched the table in the living room, causing it to crack open with a bang!

When Su Hao saw this, he opened his mouth in shock. He never thought that his punch would directly break the table!

“This is the host’s stats panel. Please take a look.”

Along with the sound of the system, a panel suddenly appeared in Su Hao’s mind. On the left side of the panel was the data and on the right was a triangular rhombus.

[Host: Su Hao]

Constitution: 30

[Agility: 30]

Power: 30

Combat Strength: Level 3 Qi Refinement

After looking through it, Su Hao gradually calmed down. Even after the system’s strengthening, the current him was still far from enough. In this era, what was lacking the most were geniuses. If others knew that a piece of trash like him who couldn’t cultivate could still have a body and strength comparable to a cultivator, who knows which great powers would be curious and capture him for research? Especially when he was still new with the system, once he was caught, who knows what kind of torment he would have to bear and survive. Thinking of this, a warning light lit up in Su Hao’s heart.

“It seems that before I have sufficient strength, I must keep a low profile. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Su Hao’s heart was ignited with the will to cultivate diligently. As long as he became stronger, he would be able to protect himself and everything he wanted to protect.

With this thought in mind, he decided to continue drawing his knife and cultivating. However, Su Hao suddenly felt that the living room was a little cramped, limiting his performance.

Then he remembered that the rooftop of the apartment was a good place to practice drawing his saber. With this thought in mind, he grabbed the Adamantine Saber and walked up to the roof.

On the roof of the apartment, Su Hao began to quickly draw his blade. The Tang Saber blade was different from the wooden blade. Whether it was in terms of material or grade, it was far from what a wooden blade could compare to. Now, every time Su Hao drew his blade and slashed through the air, there would be a faint sound of the blade.

Su Hao couldn’t help but immerse himself within. His eyes were tightly shut and the might of every single strike was even more dangerous than before.

…

It was already Su Hao’s fifth day at the top of the building. As time passed, his posture became more and more accurate, faster and fiercer.

The progress was amazing. He performed the Sword Draw a hundred times a day. Soon, the system’s cold mechanical voice sounded. “Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. All attributes + 30. The next mission is to draw the Sword Draw a thousand times.”

As the system’s voice fell, Su Hao once again felt the energy within his body surge out. After that, he continued to draw his blade. To him, this was far from enough. There were countless cultivators in this world who could move mountains and move seas. With his current strength, he couldn’t even be considered to have mastered the basics.

Su Hao gradually immersed himself in the practice of drawing his saber. At this time, a cultivator dressed in luxurious clothes floated above Su Hao’s head. His face was hard to see and he was holding a half-dead spirit rhino in his hand.

The cultivator in the sky happened to see Su Hao constantly swinging his blade.

“To be able to wield such a saber without cultivation, interesting.”

The cultivator left after saying this with great interest. After all, this was only interesting to him.

Su Hao waved his saber as he watched the cultivators who were bringing the Demonic Beasts away. He was extremely envious.

“Although I can’t cultivate, I have the system. In the future, I will definitely not be any worse than them, even if I have to fly on my sword! Even if I have to move mountains and fill seas! Even if I have to suppress the demons alone and make a name for myself! One day, I will be able to do what they can do!”

Su Hao’s heart was filled with fighting spirit. He had set a goal for himself. In the future, he would stand above all cultivators!

However, compared to this distant future, there was still something more urgent that Su Hao needed to resolve.

That was… he didn’t have the money to pay the rent!

At the thought of this, he felt a headache coming. However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and recalled the cultivator from earlier.

The cultivator was holding a Demonic Beast in his hand. According to what he knew, in this world, even low-level Demonic Beasts could be sold for a lot and one can obtain a lot of coins.

Su Hao’s eyes instantly lit up as he silently thanked the cultivator who passed by. He was the one who had enlightened him! Otherwise, what would he do other than continuing to worry about rent?

Even though hunting Demonic Beasts was very dangerous, with Su Hao’s current strength, killing some low-level Demonic Beasts shouldn’t be a problem. He could find a Demonic Beast forest that cultivators rarely went to and kill Demonic Beasts to accumulate experience. He could also obtain some materials to earn money and get the rent.

Su Hao thought to himself as he drew his saber. He looked at the sky and estimated that it was only noon. He would finish his training for today and leave tomorrow.

…

The next morning, Su Hao finished freshening up. He opened the webpage and quickly searched for some Demonic Beast Jungle that very few people went to. Just as he opened the webpage, he saw the Demonic Beast Jungle that was close to his apartment. Cultivators rarely went there. After confirming his target, he grabbed his Tang Saber and rushed to the Demonic Beast Jungle.

To put it bluntly, the Demonic Beasts Forest was nothing more than a playground for high-level cultivators. They raised a group of uncivilized Demonic Beasts to play with. Some of the more generous cultivators would even open up the Demonic Beasts Forest under their name for free for low-level cultivators to practice and accumulate experience by killing monsters.

Roughly an hour later, Su Hao took a taxi to this Demonic Beast Forest. Right now, there were only a few ordinary people sitting in this world’s transportation vehicles. All of them were free for the country to take care of ordinary people who couldn’t cultivate.

Su Hao looked at the entrance of the amusement park and said, “It’s more like a playground than a jungle.”

After that, he saw many merchants selling items related to the Demonic Beasts Forest at the entrance. After buying a low-level Demonic Beast Illustration Book, Su Hao entered the Demonic Beasts Forest.

Su Hao looked at the illustration. After walking for a few hundred meters, he saw a tortoise-shaped creature with flaming limbs and tail. It was the size of a small dining table.

“The Fire Turtle is an uncivilized demon beast. It’s equivalent to a cultivator at the 3rd level of the Qi Refinement Realm. It can spit out high-temperature flames from its mouth and the shell on its back is very hard. In some time, I’ll try my hand on you.”

Su Hao stared at the Fire Turtle that was crawling towards him. He wanted to use all of his strength and began to bend down, grabbing the handle of the Tang Saber. He brazenly drew out his blade and then rushed in front of the Fire Turtle, his blade slashing towards its head.

This blade was extremely fast and fierce. The sound of the blade slicing through the air was accompanied by the faint sound of the blade. The power brought about by this blade was far greater than any previous blade!

The Fire Turtle’s unique sense of danger told it how dangerous Su Hao’s attack was. In the next moment, the Fire Turtle didn’t have the slightest bit of hesitation. All of its body parts retreated back into its shell at the fastest speed possible. However, Su Hao’s Tang Saber was a steel blade given by the system.

The sharpness of this blade was many times stronger than a mortal blade. It was a sharp blade with a tyrannical murderous intent which forcefully cut through the turtle’s shell.

Blood instantly flowed out from its wound. The Fire Turtle was in pain and let out a dull roar. Its head was quickly exposed and it turned to its side, wanting to spit out high temperature flames at Su Hao.

However, Su Hao was already prepared. The stance of drawing his blade was already in place. Just as the Fire Turtle was about to spit out the flames, Su Hao pulled out his blade. The might of his blade didn’t decrease but instead increased and he chopped off the Fire Turtle’s head.

As Su Hao watched the Fire Turtle flaming limbs gradually extinguished. He let out a light breath. At this moment, he began to have a clear understanding of his own strength. He was able to defeat a Demonic Beast at the Middle Stage of the First Rank but he lacked actual combat experience.

If it had been just a second later, the Fire Turtle’s fireball would have been spat out. With his current strength, there was no way he could withstand that mouthful of high-temperature flames.

“I still have to practice more.”

After letting out a sigh, Su Hao removed the turtle shell, limbs and other materials from the Fire Turtle’s body. He found a secluded place and began today’s saber drawing practice.

After fighting with the fire turtle earlier, Su Hao discovered some of the small flaws in his drawing of the blade. When he drew the blade, he would shake a little. When he withdrew the blade, the merging of his legs wasn’t standard enough. After consciously improving these two points, Su Hao’s standard drawing of the blade began to slowly increase.

In the evening, Su Hao completed the standard drawing of his blade 200 times in one day. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had exceeded the standard by a lot today. Looking at the sky, Su Hao tried his best to suppress his desire to continue drawing his blade and put on his clothes to go home.

However, on the way out of the forest, Su Hao encountered a few Demonic Beasts which delivered themselves to his door. One of them was in the Middle Stage of the First Rank while the other two were in the Early Stage of the First Rank. Both of them were killed by his saber. Although these three Demonic Beasts did not have armor like the Fire Turtle, their physical bodies were still strong enough.

After Su Hao’s Tang Saber slashed into the bodies of these demonic beasts, he felt a strong resistance.

“A Demonic Beast’s body is stronger than a cultivator’s. It is often one stage higher than a cultivator’s body. As for the specifics, that will depend on the Demonic Beast’s Bloodline.”

As Su Hao thought about this, he walked to the exit and sold the materials he obtained to the peddlers at the entrance. The prices offered by these merchants would be very reasonable. In a peaceful era, there were fewer unscrupulous merchants.

Among the payments given by these merchants, one could choose to obtain Spirit Stones or money. Spirit Stones were of no use to Su Hao at his current stage. Su Hao directly asked for money to settle the bill. In the world of ordinary people, what circulated was paper money. Spirit stones were the currency used by cultivators and were considered a higher payment method.

Su Hao obtained around 100,000 Soft Maiden Coins. This amount of money shocked him. So this was the reason why cultivators never used paper monet. Just a few First Rank Demonic Beasts could exchange for so many Soft Maiden Coins.

In the end, Su Hao returned home. While he still had energy, he began to practice drawing his saber.
