32: C32 Highway Robbery!

C32 Highway Robbery!

However, a dozen of gold coins per day wasn't what he was after as they weren't enough for even a proper system upgrade.

Another thing to keep in mind was that his Clone Dispatch was merely at the first level.

And more importantly, Su Lang would soon become a Standard Martial Cultivator.

Since the clone's strength was about the same as his, he would soon be able to hunt E-class beasts using it.

One had to understand that the strength of an E-class Vicious Beast was similar to a Standard Martial Cultivator. Moreover, an E-class beast was about 10 times stronger than an F-class beast.

On the other hand, the after-taste of destroying a stronghold just struck Su Lang; it was sweet and addictive as hell.

Although the Broken Axe Hunting Group's stronghold was no longer in the world, he still had the Ye Family to satisfy his thirst for chaos and destruction.

"What a pity that I'm still weak. And the number of clones I have isn't satisfactory at all."

All of a sudden, a thought struck Su Lang and his eyes sparkled. "System, what's the cost for upgrading Clone Dispatch?"

"Host, upgrading the Clone Dispatch function to level 2 requires 1000 gold coins."

"With each upgrade, you'll get an additional clone. Moreover, after reaching certain levels, you'll even unlock new abilities."

"Wow! I can still get new abilities?"

"The abilities of this system are so terrifying! Damn! Why am I so poor?"

Filled with new-found determination, Su Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "It looks like I have to become a Standard Martial Cultivator as soon as possible."

Right now, he had 319 gold coins—a long stretch from the 1,000 he needed.

After pondering for some time, Su Lang sat on the public transport and left for the League of Martial Cultivators.

Su Lang was a Quasi Martial Cultivator right now, yet he wasn't planning on collecting the allowance for that.

Why? Well, he collected the allowance for breaking through the Primary and Intermediate Body Tempering just this morning.

It was evening now, and he had broken through the Advanced Body Tempering stage, the Peak Body Tempering Stage, and was now a Quasi Martial Cultivator. If people found out about his cultivation speed, the entire world would be in a hubbub.

If he attracted the attention of some strong powerhouses while still being unable to contend against them, he wouldn't be able to control his fate.

However, no one could hide the luster of pure gold. His talents were bound to come to light one day. But by that day, Su Lang would be invincible! If he was strong enough to kill whoever dares to cause strife, then there wouldn't be any strifes.

Half an hour later, Su Lang arrived at the League of Martial Cultivators building.

Even though it was already dark, the League of Martial Cultivators' building was brightly lit and had a constant stream of people entering and leaving.

Su Lang blended in with the crowd and arrived at the second floor of the building.

The first floor acted as the reception area, and the floors from second to fourth were reserved for official League of Martial Cultivators stores. Among the numerous stores, some specialized in selling cultivation techniques.

Right now, the easiest way to increase his combat strength was to practice cultivation techniques.

A beginner-level cultivation skill could increase his strength b leaps and bounds. Moreover, it would only take minutes!

He slowly began dreaming about the time when he would have dozens or even hundreds of cultivation techniques and would be able to kill opponents that had a higher level of cultivation than him. The fantasy made him so excited that he began laughing like maniacs.

Yet, when he entered the shop. his joy and laugher came to an abrupt halt.

Beginner Body Tempering Technique—Vigor of the White Lion, 888 gold coins

Beginner Weapons Cultivating Technique—Sierra Sundering Seven Swords, 1298 gold coins1

Beginner Attribute Cultivation Technique—Scarlet Inferno, 23,000 gold coins.

...

"A cultivation technique is actually so expensive?"

Su Lang looked at the price tags, and the corner of his lips began twitching.

Adding insult to the injury was the fact that all of them were mere beginner cultivation techniques.

Dreading what was about to come, Su Lang glanced at the intermediate cultivation techniques, and his eyeball nearly flew out of their sockets! None of them had a price lower than five digits; the attribute cultivation techniques were in the six-digit territory.

Shivering, he looked at the advanced cultivation techniques and was surprised again. Not because of the price tags, but because there were only three advanced cultivation techniques there. The true treasure among them was the Traceless Snow Palm—5 million golden points!

"I say, these guys are committing highway robbery, damn!"

Looking at all those "phenomenal" price tags, Su Lang was left speechless. Even if he counted every morsel and penny he had, he still wouldn't be able to afford the cheapest technique here.

On an even sadder now, the store already had the Origin Bodybuilding Technique and the Ghost Moon Saber Technique. So, his plan to sell his techniques and buy newer from them failed.

"Sigh, money, money..."

Su Lang walked out of the cultivation technique store with a wretched expression, "Looks like my plan to buy cultivation techniques to increase my strength was cut short."

While he was lamenting, he was struck by a sudden flash of inspiration.

"If I can't buy it, I can just rob it! Didn't I steel the Ghost Moon Saber Technique too?"

"Isn't the Ye family one of the four major powers in the Red Maple City? They must surely have a lot of cultivation techniques. Let alone beginner techniques—I'm sure they must have some advanced techniques too!"

"And then there is the Broken Axe Hunting Group; I have to eradicate them! Who knows what good stuff they are hiding?"

"When I'm sufficiently strong, I'll go out to hunt them!"

Thinking about his future wealth and fame, reinvigorated Su Lang and his increased his pace towards the fifth floor.

The fifth floor of the League of Martial Cultivators building was home to numerous cultivation rooms, martial arts training centers, training grounds, meeting halls, luxury restaurants, and other areas.

Su Lang's current destination was the cultivation room.
