When Su Xiaobai was breaking through, he was in the auction house of the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, competing with a bunch of families from Base No. 15 over the ownership of a large piece of Mixed Primordial Sulfur Crystal.
This piece of Mixed Primordial Sulfur Crystal was huge and of high purity. According to Su Xiaobai's estimation, its value was close to 4 billion.
However, unexpectedly, a family suddenly appeared, fiercely competing against Su Xiaobai.
Whatever price Su Xiaobai offered, they would immediately raise it by another billion.
The auction price quickly soared to 5.1 billion. Content originally comes from novel✦fire.net
Su Xiaobai was also getting annoyed.
A mere family with only an ordinary Martial Commander overseeing them dared to challenge me?
Truly ignorant of their own mortality!
However, in order to maintain his composure and avoid acting like a villain who bullies others, Su Xiaobai decided to endure and just bid higher to secure the Mixed Primordial Sulfur Crystal… After all, this crystal was of great value to him. Even if he overpaid, it wouldn't be a loss.
But unexpectedly, that family raised the price again!
Su Xiaobai was on the verge of losing his temper.
But before he could even speak, an overwhelming and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
The terrifying power nearly leveled the entire auction house in an instant!
Elite Martial Commander!
All the surrounding families were shocked and looked at Su Xiaobai in fear.
Fortunately, they reacted in time. Otherwise, just the sheer force of that energy could have severely injured them!
The family that was originally competing with Su Xiaobai did not hesitate in the slightest—they immediately chose to withdraw!
There were only a few elite Martial Commanders in Base No. 15.
Each one of them was an existence that could not be provoked… Earlier, they thought Su Xiaobai was just an ordinary Martial Commander, so they dared to compete with him. But now, without a second thought, they immediately backed down.
However, Su Xiaobai had no time to care about them now.
He was completely immersed in the changes brought about by his breakthrough…
His entire body once again experienced the immense transformation and benefits similar to when he had broken through to the Martial Commander level!
After reaching the Martial Commander realm, every step forward became increasingly difficult.
Naturally, every breakthrough brought immense benefits!
Su Xiaobai quickly checked his current status.

"I've fully reached the Demi-God level!"
Su Xiaobai's heart surged with excitement.
He had only been at Base No. 15 for less than a week.
Yet his realm and strength had skyrocketed at an insane rate, rising from an elite Martial Commander to an extreme Martial Commander, and now reaching the level of a Demi-God Martial Commander!
"However… reaching the Martial God level requires more than just improving my realm!"
The gap from Demi-God to true Martial God was an unprecedentedly massive threshold.
If reaching the Martial Commander realm was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate to become superior to ordinary people…
Then achieving the Martial God realm meant standing at the very peak of Earth, overlooking all living beings!
The distance and gap to cross were enough to make countless people despair.
Martial Commander and Martial God.
A difference of just one word, yet a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
Su Xiaobai had already reached the Demi-God level.
His strength was approaching the Martial God realm at an incredible pace!
He was just one step away!
Perhaps with just one more breakthrough, reaching the extreme Martial Commander level, he could shatter this bottleneck and truly reach the peak!
Feeling this immense ambition, how could Su Xiaobai still care about that minor incident earlier?
He directly secured the Mixed Primordial Sulfur Crystal and, under everyone's shocked gazes, left the auction house of the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion.
After making a round of purchases, Su Xiaobai began refining a Grade-7 pill to modify cultivation aptitude—the Five-Turn Luo'e Pill!
A single Five-Turn Luo'e Pill would start at at least 10 billion on the market.
If it were a perfect-grade pill, its value would soar even higher!
At this moment, Su Xiaobai had 16 Five-Turn Luo'e Pills in his possession.
In reality, the materials he had purchased were only enough to refine 4 pills. However, thanks to his One-Click Alchemy's 4x yield buff, he had obtained an enormous fortune of 16 pills!
Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai casually tossed one Five-Turn Luo'e Pill into his mouth and began chewing.
One pill, two pills, three pills, four pills…
He kept eating until he reached the 12th pill, when he finally felt the familiar burning sensation inside his body… His cultivation aptitude was gradually changing!
The burning sensation intensified.
Fortunately, Su Xiaobai's current strength was powerful enough that he only broke out in a sweat and didn't feel much pain.
He continued eating and finished the remaining four pills.
The burning sensation receded like a tide.
Su Xiaobai immediately checked his cultivation aptitude—
[Cultivation Aptitude: Top-Tier]
Su Xiaobai clenched his fist in excitement.
This was a top-tier aptitude obtained by burning through nearly 300 billion!
From the lowest cultivation aptitude, he had forcefully elevated himself to the pinnacle!
No wonder most families refused to waste resources on someone with the lowest cultivation aptitude… 300 billion could be used for so many other things!
Spending that just to modify cultivation aptitude?
Moreover, even if one's aptitude reached top-tier, they would still need to train diligently, comprehend techniques, and practice weaponry… Aptitude was merely a starting point!
Becoming a true powerhouse was never guaranteed.
That's why big families simply skipped this step and directly invested in top-tier geniuses who could quickly become strong and bring them benefits!
"Ling'er, you and Xiao Bai Long stay home and train properly!"
"Also, wear this armor every day, don't take it off. I'll only be gone for a few days and will be back soon. Be good, okay?"
Before heading to the Otherworld, Su Xiaobai carefully instructed Su Ling'er.
"Mhm! I'll definitely train well and not cause trouble! Big Brother, come back soon!"
Su Ling'er nodded obediently.
Xiao Bai Long let out a "yaa yaa" sound, rubbing its head against Su Xiaobai's face, reluctant to part.
After saying farewell, Su Xiaobai flew toward the Otherworld Teleportation Array…
With a flash of intense white light, the scene before him suddenly distorted and changed…
When his vision cleared, Su Xiaobai was completely stunned.
