Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun, who had previously been in good spirits, suddenly bristled.
So, after all this while, I am still in danger, huh?
Feeling Lu Zixun’s intense reaction by his side, Long Jiuri couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Looking down at Lu Zixun, he said, "It doesn’t matter that I can’t make a move, aren’t you about to break through to an A-level soon?"
Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s tail involuntarily swayed, and he soon came to a realization.
Controlling superpower to one hundred percent was indeed the key to breaking through, wasn’t it?
It was merely the acceleration of the process using feeling value.
But the fact that Long Jiuri knew about his imminent A-level superpower breakthrough made Lu Zixun wonder just how powerful Long Jiuri actually was.
Glancing worriedly at both Lu Zixun and Long Jiuri, Xiong Kang, deeply concerned, asked, "Ninth Brother, there aren’t many ways to prevent you from taking action. Does the Ye Family really have the capability to get those things?"
Long Jiuri gave an ambiguous answer, his gaze turning three degrees colder.
Recalling what Beipo Glacier Xiang Haokun had said, he fell into deep thought.
The things capable of confining someone of Long Jiuri’s level of power were eighty percent likely to come from the Crimson Land.
Whereas Long Jiuri might have disregarded the Ye Family in the past, now, he needed to consider things more seriously.
Jumping from Long Jiuri’s side to the ground, Lu Zixun headed toward the basement.
Without the backing of a powerful leader, one had to rely on themselves. He needed to use feeling value to advance his Magnetic Field Control to the Second Order Stage.
Just as Xiong Kang was about to ask Lu Zixun what he was doing, Long Jiuri stopped him with a look.
Watching Lu Zixun’s departing figure, Long Jiuri shook his head and smiled, "This kid holds quite a few secrets."
"System, how much feeling value do I currently have?"
"Beep—The host currently holds ninety-eight thousand feeling value."
Approaching a breakthrough of one hundred thousand feeling value, Lu Zixun nodded in satisfaction.
Opening his personal panel and seeing the ninety percent proficiency in Magnetic Field Control, Lu Zixun pondered for a while but still chose to use feeling value for the breakthrough.
"System, advance Magnetic Field Control to the Second Order Stage."
"Beep—Two thousand feeling value deducted, upgrade to Second Order Stage successful."
Closing his eyes, ready to endure the pain that came with the advancement, it took a moment before Lu Zixun realized nothing had happened.
He blinked, opening his eyes, what did this mean?
"System, is it over?"
"Beep—Magnetic Field Control (Second Order Stage), while enhancing the original ability, a new ability has been added, allowing control of the surrounding magnetic field."
Listening to this vague description from the system, Lu Zixun thought carefully, feeling a surge of energy in his body. The equipment in the basement started to levitate.
This scene made Lu Zixun’s pupils shrink; he seemed to understand how this newly added ability could be used.
Calming his mind and controlling the magnetic field around him, Lu Zixun took a deep breath.
The orange cat lying at the center floated into the air and, as it was about to drift to the ceiling, stopped.
Looking down at the ground below at a certain distance, a gleam of joy flashed in Lu Zixun’s eyes.
He had actually gained the ability to fly, those twenty thousand feeling value were well spent!
Just as he considered making a full effort to also advance the Ice Elemental Control to the Second Order Stage, seeing that the proficiency was only forty percent, Lu Zixun hesitated no further and gave up.
That matter could wait; the cost right now was a bit too great.
Now with seventy-eight thousand feeling value left, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and opened the Mall.
Heading to an important appointment, it was essential to have some useful superpower items on hand, so Lu Zixun could feel a bit more at ease.
Ink Feather Blue Flame Dagger: Crafted from the claws of an Ancient Strange Beast, the Flame Eagle, this sharp dagger can easily slay creatures below S-level.
Value: One hundred thousand feeling points.
Phoenix Sky Sand: A type of blood-red sand from beyond the heavens, it is an indispensable material for certain arrays.
Value: Twenty thousand feeling points.
Iceberg Essence: A genius treasure hidden within a millennium iceberg, consuming it can make one more compatible with the Ice Element.
Value: Fifty thousand feeling points.
Seven-colored Horse (Pet Egg): Upon hatching, a Seven-colored Horse will appear (with a very small chance of hatching a Colorful Unicorn), and when grown, it will possess King-level strength.
Value: One hundred and eighty thousand feeling points.
Looking at the items refreshed in the Mall this time, Lu Zixun swallowed his saliva, finding these items very tempting.
Considering he was poor, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and chose to exchange for the Iceberg Essence.
"Ding—Fifty thousand feeling points deducted, Iceberg Essence has been placed into System Space."
Looking at the remaining lonely twenty-eight thousand feeling points, Lu Zixun simply also exchanged the Phoenix Sky Sand, thinking that something from beyond the heavens shouldn’t be too bad.
With nothing but poverty, Lu Zixun, taking poor steps, walked out of the basement.
As soon as he took a step, Lu Zixun felt a gaze locking onto him.
Looking up, he saw Long Jiuri, who was smiling satisfactorily.
"Ding—Satisfaction value from Long Jiuri detected: +24000."
"Ding—Surprise value from Xiong Kang detected: +4000."
Lu Zixun, who was just barely impoverished, became wealthy again thanks to the favor of the big shot.
"Orange Cat... you’re just at A-level?"
With his mouth slightly open, Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun incredulously.
In just a week, Lu Zixun had managed to break through. This...this must be some sort of Demon, right?
Nodding at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun dashed to Long Jiuri’s side: "Big shot, do you see how awesome I am?"
Lu Zixun, acting cute and coquettish, tried to garner more feeling points from Long Jiuri.
The sparingly worded Long Jiuri, facing the coquettish Lu Zixun, only uttered two words.
At this moment, remembering his own breakthrough to A-level, Xiong Kang seemed to recall something, his face’s surprise faded as he looked deeply at Lu Zixun.
Xiong Kang didn’t know what Lu Zixun had fed him last time, but now there were almost nine Sword Qi in his Dantian.
Xiong Kang knew that once he had nine, it would be his time to become an S-level Genetic Optimization Soldier.
Originally he thought it was due to his own merit, but now thinking about it, it probably had something to do with this little bastard.
With tomorrow’s Ye Family banquet, he couldn’t let this little bastard come to harm.
"Ding—Determination value from Xiong Kang detected: +4000."
Glancing slightly surprised at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun was about to say something when Zeng Haoyang walked in, holding a thick book.
"Orange Cat, come here."
After placing the book on the table, Zeng Haoyang waved at Lu Zixun.
Feeling that Zeng Haoyang had some ill intentions, Lu Zixun was about to make a run for it but was caught in an instant by Zeng Haoyang.
