Chapter 10 Cultivation Qualification: Lowest Level!
Seeing the scattered debris around him, speckled with sparks, and the charred, hand-shaped shallow pit on the ground still emitting black smoke. Su Xiaobai, who was short of words, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock!
A mere entry-level elemental cultivation technique, only at the beginner stage, could unleash such power… What if it reached the intermediate, advanced, or even the highest level? Or was replaced with a more refined elemental technique?
Just thinking about it is terrifying!
Su Xiaobai finally understood what kind of formidable power those strong characters on TV wielded when they overturned mountains and seas with a flick of their fingers… That was no longer within the scope of human abilities—it was divine!
He immediately checked his current status.
Realm Level: Advanced Quasi-Warrior
Strength Level: Beginner Warrior
Endurance Level: Beginner Warrior
Agility Level: Beginner Warrior
Cultivation Aptitude: Lowest Rank
Mastered Techniques: Diamond Body (Beginner), Spirit Sky Transformation (Beginner), True Flame Palm (Beginner)
Unlocked System Functions: One-Click Cultivation Space (Level 2), One-Click Practice Space (Level 2)
Su Xiaobai exclaimed again.
His strength, endurance, and agility levels had directly leaped from an advanced quasi-warrior to the level of a beginner warrior!
In other words, with his current abilities, he could now contend with actual warriors!
Moreover, even among warriors, not all of them would possess so many techniques… especially elemental techniques!
It wasn’t impossible that some warriors might not even be a match for him!
“No wonder cultivation techniques are so expensive.”
“No wonder so many warriors train day and night for them.”
“The benefits of these techniques are terrifying!”
Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
Just three techniques at the beginner level had brought him such immense advantages.
What if all three reached the intermediate level?
And then continued to the advanced level, or even the highest level?
Just imagining it made Su Xiaobai feel excited. By then, he might be able to cross several major realms and defeat opponents with ease!
“If only I had money.”
“I could upgrade the One-Click Cultivation Space and the One-Click Training Space to higher levels… Then I could cultivate even more techniques!”
What Su Xiaobai lacked most now was money!
Only money could get him more techniques.
Only money could upgrade those heaven-defying system functions.
Only money could unlock more of these “new cheats”!
“Right, it’s probably time to visit the Zhang family.”
Suddenly, Su Xiaobai remembered the Zhang family, “I’m a guest elder of the Zhang family now. Asking for a few million shouldn’t be an issue, right?”
The Zhang family was a prominent and wealthy clan.
They had given him a million without hesitation before.
If he showcased a bit of his strength, they might give him even more!
“For my auto-battle grinding, for my techniques, for upgrading my One-Click Cultivation and Training… I have to visit the Zhang family!”
That afternoon, Su Xiaobai visited the core district for the first time as a guest.
“These houses… are so impressive!”
Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but admire them.
Base 18 was divided into two areas: the outer civilian district and the Inner core district.
The outer civilian district covered 90% of the area, while the core district only occupied 10%. However, the defense facilities, equipment, and personnel in the core district were far superior to those of the outer district!
Additionally, the core district had a complete internal ecosystem to handle emergencies, ensuring survival even if the outer base fell.
Thus, those living in the core district were either wealthy and influential families or high-ranking government officials… ordinary people simply didn’t qualify!
“One day, I’ll bring Ling’er here and own a villa of my own!”
Su Xiaobai silently vowed.
Only by entering the core district could one have true security.
In the outer district, the lives of ordinary people were not guaranteed… Even if you were killed by a warrior, the government would impose symbolic penalties such as detention or fines but would not execute the warrior for the sake of an ordinary person.
The life of an ordinary person wasn’t even worth a warrior’s finger!
This was the harsh reality.
Only by becoming a resident of the core district, even as an ordinary person, could one gain the noble status of “aristocrat,” acknowledged and protected by the government!
Soon, Su Xiaobai arrived at the Zhang family’s estate entrance.
After his arrival was reported, Zhang Hengxing quickly came out with an excited expression.
“Elder Su, you’re finally here!”
Zhang Hengxing said happily, “Come in, come in, my father and uncles are all waiting for you!”
“All waiting for me?”
Su Xiaobai’s heart skipped a beat.
For someone as insignificant as him, this level of attention seemed over the top.
Su Xiaobai had clearly underestimated the significance of the title “Guest Elder.”
In family dynamics, apart from the family’s own strength, the abilities of their guest elders were also a major factor.
Whether a family had guest elders, the strength of those guest elders, and the number of powerful guest elders all served as indirect evidence of the family’s overall power.
Becoming a guest elder of a family also meant becoming an honored guest.
Even the family head had to show respect to guest elders, so naturally, it warranted a grand reception!
Moments later, Su Xiaobai stood in a large hall.
In front of him and on either side were high-ranking members of the Zhang family, all of them gazing at him intently.
“An advanced quasi-warrior… not even a full-fledged warrior, and he’s invited as a guest elder?”
“Don’t underestimate him. He’s rumored to have high cultivation potential. His future achievements will at least reach the level of a Martial General… With some luck, he might even become a Martial Commander!”
“Hmph, no matter how talented, before a genius grows, they’re still insignificant! Besides, in our current standoff with the Yuan family, how can a mere quasi-warrior be of any help?”
People murmured quietly.
Although they suppressed their voices with spiritual energy, Su Xiaobai couldn’t hear their words. However, from their expressions, he could tell they were skeptical of him.
He fully understood this.
Everyone present was at least a full-fledged warrior, with several at the Grandmaster level. Even standing several meters away, Su Xiaobai could feel the overwhelming heat emanating from their bodies—an aura symbolizing vigorous vitality and immense physical strength!
“Mr. Su, I am Zhang Henglong, head of the Zhang family.”
“My son invited you to be a guest elder without the family’s consent. Therefore, I cannot yet formally address you as Elder. I hope you understand.”
Zhang Henglong’s calm voice echoed in the hall. “Since this concerns the reputation of our Zhang family, I must ask you to first test your cultivation potential.”
With a glance from Zhang Henglong, a subordinate brought over a sensing stone and placed it in front of Su Xiaobai.
Su Xiaobai was speechless.
However, seeing everyone watching him, he reluctantly placed his hand on the sensing stone with a nonchalant attitude.
The stone glowed dimly with a grayish light.
“Cultivation potential: Lowest Level.”
The subordinate’s judgment reverberated throughout the hall.
