Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 552 The Pinnacle of Skill

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, I've come to discuss the ransom issue concerning Su Qingqiu..."

The leader of the "Death Paradise" gathering was a woman, thin and with slightly dark skin. Perhaps not wanting to make her avatar too eye-catching, she looked quite inconspicuous.

If you saw her in a shantytown, you probably wouldn't guess that such a woman is actually the controller of the infamous high-level gathering, "Death Paradise".

The woman codenamed "Mu Yu" pushed up her black-rimmed glasses. Her aura wasn't strong; in front of Tao Bai Bai, she seemed like a subordinate.

Black Butler, Jin Yuean, and Li Qingzi stood behind Bai Cangshu. Further behind, Su Qingqiu had been shaved into a human stick. If they weren't in the space, he would probably die at any moment.

Meanwhile, the dark purple-haired [Death Sword - A Thought of Green Silk], with a chain around her neck, was standing behind Bai Cangshu, massaging his shoulders and neck.

Mu Yu tried her best to control her emotions. Although she had already received the results from His Majesty the Great Sun of the End, her eyes still twitched slightly when she actually saw this scene.

Beside Mu Yu was another woman, with long pink hair cascading down her waist, and a white gauze dress wrapped around her from both sides, revealing a rather exposed chest.

【Bird of Death - Su Enfei】, another high-ranking titled reincarnator of 【Paradise of Death】.

The so-called "Paradise of Death" was a reputation earned by Consort Su En and Su Qingqiu.

The two were speculated to be siblings or lovers. Most intelligence brokers believed they were Korean, but some thought they were from Dongxia.

"Tao Pai Pai, two S-rank singularity equivalent items should be enough to get that piece of trash back, right?"

Su Enfei's relationship with Su Qingqiu was not as harmonious as outsiders claimed. The Black Butler could tell that Su Enfei was indeed speaking with considerable malice.

She was about to continue speaking when Mu Yu interrupted her.

“Mr. Tao Pai Pai, I heard that you have been looking for items like Bodhi Leaves lately. Coincidentally, I have some on hand.”

Bai Cangshu leaned his head back and rested it directly on Yi Nian Qing Si's body. In the space, the two could have direct physical contact, which meant that they had also entered into a contract that granted them complete control.

Li Qingzi stood behind, watching this scene with an indifferent expression.

Jin Yue'an's gaze swept over Li Qingzi discreetly; she was increasingly able to grasp the dynamic between the two.

She adjusted her glasses, took out a tablet, and began negotiating.

"Based on the current market price in the shantytown, each Bodhi leaf is priced at 1 Grade A Special Point, which is a good price."

Mu Yu shook her head. She had a weak aura, but spoke calmly and gently, seemingly unaffected by the current situation.

"Although the Bodhi Leaf is only a consumable item of purple quality, its value is extra valuable to a martial artist like Lord Tao Pai Pai."

"I think that pricing two Bodhi leaves at one S-level Anomalous Point is a price that we can all accept."

After news of Tao Pai Pai's victory over Daikokuten and others in the real world spread, Black Butler stopped pretending to harbor resentment towards Tao Pai Pai.

At this point, they also ruthlessly helped to lower the price.

"Lord Muyu, it is true that we need Bodhi leaves, but you should also know that since the news of that battle spread, many teams have been trying to curry favor with us using items that Lord Tao Pai Pai likes."

"The value of Bodhi leaves is not as high as you might imagine."

After a heated exchange, Su Qingqiu, who was reduced to a human stump and signed a slave contract, remained calm. When he prepared to kill Tao Baibai, he was also prepared to be killed in return.

Those who commit murder will be killed in return; that is fair.

The reason Bai Cangshu patiently listened to these people's negotiations was simply because he was currently in a state of considerable resource scarcity.

The damage caused by delving into and connecting to the root causes was more severe than he had anticipated.

Just the cost of repairing his body after returning was one A-level singularity and tens of thousands of dimensional points, almost depleting all the resources he had previously saved.

In the Paradise, after a fierce battle with those people, repeatedly using that unknown magic to peer into the essence of others' abilities, and forcibly seizing the power of the Great Black Heaven's End, the price was that his body was once again eroded by the source.

The price of these Mystic Eyes is far greater than that of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Almost every time it is used, the body suffers from root-cause erosion.

Bai Cangshu had investigated the space and found that the reason he was suffering from this erosion was because his body was not born from the source and could not adapt well to the [Vortex of the Source].

In other words, he lacked the fundamental nature of the Root, therefore using those eyes came at an extremely high cost. If it weren't for the fact that Reincarnators possess the ability to infinitely repair themselves within space, Bai Cangshu would have been unable to bear the weight of those eyes.

The consequence of being corrupted by the vortex of origin is not death, but the elimination of one's true nature and the assimilation of one's existence.

The effects of this erosion are not immune to the immortality and rapid regeneration of the White Atractylodes.

Bai Cangshu was enjoying a massage from the renowned new leader of the [Blackwater] in the space, but his mind was already contemplating his next direction for enhancement.

He opened the panel.

【专长：武道专精Lv9+（9+2）；街斗Lv9，拳脚专精Lv9，脚步专精Lv9，灵术专精Lv9…】

【能力：波纹气功Lv9；魔枪Lv9；神指功Lv7；杀意波动Lv4；瞬狱杀Lv4；风神腿Lv9；冰心诀Lv9；界王拳Lv3……】

In terms of skill, he has gradually approached the limits of ordinary reincarnators, reaching the so-called "pinnacle of skill".

After Bai Cangshu's martial arts expertise reaches Lv9, with the help of Tao Pai Pai's pink robe, it becomes Lv9+.

He could sense that he had reached a bottleneck, and that he had reached the pinnacle in all aspects of exerting force, releasing force, and controlling his strength.

Ahead lay a sheer cliff, the kind of precipice most martial artists would face.

With the help of props, he went a little further than the others, but he still couldn't break through that limit.

This is the limit for most physical combat and swordsmanship-based reincarnators. High-level reincarnators, with a significant allocation of team resources and the help of various items such as [Bodhi Leaf] and [Mental Time Chamber], can raise their specialization to Lv9.

At this point, without relying on any abilities, the reincarnator can fully demonstrate the terrifying killing power possessed by their own attributes.

Just like Haku Cangju, with his current base strength of 50 points, under the control of this level of martial arts expertise, he can already do everything that Tao Pai Pai showed him in the Dragon Ball world.

Whether it's killing someone with a flick of the wind, plucking flowers and flying leaves, stomping on the ground and transmitting force dozens of meters to precisely kill a target, or even killing someone directly with a breath.

None of that matters.

But Bai Cangshu knew very well that above this [pinnacle of skill], there existed an even higher realm.

[Lv9+] is not the limit.

He wants to reach the transcendent realms of [Lv10] and [Lv11].

After witnessing Sasaki Kojiro's secret sword called "Tsubame Gaeshi" in the Type-Moon world, Bai Cangshu was certain that once skill reached a certain level, one could also touch upon incredible power.

Even if Sasaki Kojiro himself couldn't understand how he did it, there was no doubt that his sword strike had transcended the level of technique and was beginning to approach the level of "law".

On the other side, Bai Cangshu needed to make up for the deficiencies in his [Agility] and [Spirit] attributes. Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Qingqiu with some regret.

If the other party is a reincarnator specializing in agility or mental specialization, they have probably already become nourishment for you.

Mu Yu saw the look Tao Bai Bai gave Su Qing Qiu, and the greed in her eyes sent chills down her spine.

She no longer wanted to be entangled with this monster, and she also wanted to completely sever the grudge between Su Qingqiu and the monster.

Her sudden rise surprised Su Eun-bi, Kim Wol-an, and the others.

Mu Yu walked up to Bai Cangshu and said calmly.
“I can offer a Bodhi seed. In addition, I have information on another Crimson Sin, who is a… rather agile Sin.”

The next moment, she saw a strong glint of energy in Tao Pai Pai's eyes, and her scorching breath almost hit her face.

"very good!"

With a wave of his hand, Bai Cangshu captured Su Qingqiu, his slave, without any resistance, and then threw the human stick to Mu Yu.

"Once I kill that heinous criminal, I will break my slave contract with him."

Mu Yu handed Su Qingqiu over to Consort Su En and continued...

“I know that every Scarlet Sin is the best tonic for you. Tao Pai Pai, I hope that the grudges between you and Su Qingqiu are settled here. In the future, we, [Death Paradise], will not accept any missions related to you.”

"This is my promise."
