Elemental cultivation techniques—Zhang Henglong also had them and had cultivated them to the intermediate level.
However, when he began cultivating this elemental technique, he was already at the Beginner Martial Master level. Even so, it still took him nearly half a year to barely advance to the Beginner level.
Later, to reach the intermediate level, he practiced diligently and tirelessly for nearly two years!
But Su Xiaobai, at just 17 years old, not only became a Beginner Warrior but also successfully comprehended an elemental technique…
In Zhang Henglong's understanding, such talent and comprehension ability made Su Xiaobai unparalleled!
"A Beginner Warrior… an elemental technique… combined with two micro-level techniques… and now, he's even killed an Advanced Warrior, the Madman Drake!"
"This Guest Elder Su is far more terrifying than we ever imagined!"
Zhang Henglong took several deep breaths to suppress the shock in his heart.
"This time, Madman Drake failed. The Yuan family will not let this go easily… They will certainly send even more powerful Martial Masters for assassination!"
"Second Brother, continue protecting Guest Elder Su. Under no circumstances can there be any slip-ups!" Zhang Henglong said gravely.
This time, Zhang Hengde did not resist at all.
What he had just witnessed had completely transformed his perception of Su Xiaobai. Protecting Su Xiaobai was almost equivalent to safeguarding the Zhang family!
"Phew, today's events have resolved a lingering concern of mine."
Zhang Henglong exhaled deeply. "The Yuan family made their move, and Guest Elder Su has likely deduced as much. With such a conflict in place, the Yuan family wouldn't dare report this matter to the major family… As long as we ensure this, everything remains within our control!"
Zhang Henglong's greatest initial worry was that the Yuan family might report this incident to the major family.
If the major family decided to recruit Su Xiaobai, what role would the Zhang family have left?
However, the Yuan family feared that if Su Xiaobai joined the major family, he might turn against them and aid the Zhang family, so they resolved to eliminate him.
Unexpectedly, their attempt failed, and they ended up irreversibly alienating Su Xiaobai!
If, at this point, the Yuan family were to report this matter to the major family, the major family would likely recruit Su Xiaobai. If Su Xiaobai agreed, he could easily annihilate the Yuan family with just a word, leveraging the major family's power.
In the eyes of the major family, a prodigious genius like Su Xiaobai, a future powerhouse, held far more value than a mere Yuan family!
Thus, the current situation was actually more favorable for the Zhang family and Su Xiaobai!
While Zhang Henglong could analyze all of this, Su Xiaobai remained oblivious to it.
If he had known that the Yuan family wouldn't dare act rashly and that a mid-level Martial Master was secretly protecting him, he would certainly have lived more carefreely!
But precisely because he was unaware, Su Xiaobai left the villa overnight with Su Ling'er, relocating to a more secluded residential area to settle temporarily.
"Ling'er, it wasn't easy getting you to live in a big house, and now we have to move into a smaller one again. You won't blame me, will you?" Su Xiaobai asked, stroking Su Ling'er's head.
"A big house or a small house doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, I can live anywhere!" Su Ling'er replied with a bright smile.
Although Su Xiaobai's decision to move puzzled her, she simply followed his lead. No matter what, being with Su Xiaobai was all that mattered!
"Haha, that's my good wife!"
"Come on, moving to a smaller house is already restrictive enough. Let's not restrict our appetites too—let's go have a feast!" Su Xiaobai laughed heartily. Find the newest release on novel·fıre·net
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
The Yuan family hadn't received any news about Madman Drake, and their attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, which left them uneasy.
However, in the assassination industry, a one-month time frame was typically the norm. With less than half a month having passed and assassins avoiding contact during missions to prevent exposure, the Yuan family had no choice but to endure.
The week's scheduled delivery time had arrived.
Su Xiaobai had contacted the Beast Treasure Pavilion in advance and changed the transaction location.
Due to previous interactions, the Beast Treasure Pavilion's attitude toward Su Xiaobai had noticeably improved and readily agreed!
"Sir, the total is 4,988,812 spirit coins! Here's the itemized list—please review it."
A representative from the Beast Treasure Pavilion respectfully handed over the ledger.
Nearly 5 million spirit coins in a week—a hundred thousand more than last week!
Evidently, after upgrading the one click auto-cultivation space to 8x time acceleration, not only did Su Xiaobai's strength gradually improve, but the efficiency of his shadow hunting also increased significantly.
After all, each level provided an ever-expanding space for growth.
Cultivating 24/7 with auto-cultivation, while also attempting breakthroughs at regular intervals… Even if Su Xiaobai hadn't explicitly advanced his rank, his power was still growing rapidly!
Once he successfully broke through, it would be a significant leap forward!
"Dear host, the system has detected that you have sufficient funds. Would you like to upgrade the system functionality?"
"If you upgrade the One-Click Cultivation Space to level 5, you'll unlock new features!"
The moment the money arrived, the system promptly notified him.
"A new feature for the One-Click Cultivation Space?" Su Xiaobai's eyes lit up.
"Yes, every system feature unlocks new capabilities when upgraded to levels 5, 10, 15, and so on."The system replied.
Unlocking new features at level 5 meant even greater enhancements—essentially stacking cheats on cheats!
Su Xiaobai was instantly excited.
"Upgrade! Upgrade the One-Click Cultivation Space now!"
As the system's prompt sounded, Su Xiaobai's account balance decreased by 3.2 million.
"Ding! The One-Click Cultivation Space has been upgraded to level 5. New feature unlocked: [Twin Cultivation]!"
"[Twin Cultivation]: Expands the One-Click Cultivation Space, allowing simultaneous cultivation of two techniques!"
