Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

The Thousand Spider Venomous Hand is an internal skill that cultivates internal strength by working from the outside in, using the venom of spiders.

Its power is truly formidable. Once mastered, the ten fingers are infused with poison, making it exceptionally sharp and formidable. It can be considered a powerful martial art in the martial arts world.

Don't be fooled by his seemingly weak appearance in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"; in the real world of martial arts, he would be fought tooth and nail for.

However, this technique also has a fatal flaw: when practicing it, one must nourish one's hands with highly poisonous substances. Over time, the poison will erode one's appearance, making one ugly and unsightly.

Looking at her tall, handsome nephew, Su Ying couldn't help but feel a little hesitant, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

She was willing to give him the manual, but she wondered if Su Xin was willing to give up his handsome appearance and endure the backlash from the martial arts technique in order to learn it.

"I have a family secret manual here! I wonder if you would like to practice it." After saying that, he handed the Thousand Spider Poison Hand manual in his hand to Su Xin.

Su Xin's expression surged and changed rapidly, like a storm passing by, unable to conceal the wild joy and determination in his heart.

The joy comes from the fact that the system, which was more than a year overdue, has finally arrived!

All the frustration and anxiety of the past year vanished the moment the system awakened.

Anger is hating yourself for being too slow to react!

The system didn't provide any explanation either, which frustrated him for so long.

If I had known the system would come, why did I have to painstakingly persuade my aunt? Why did I waste a year watching my aunt and Yin Li fall into danger? I should have sought this manual much earlier and gained the power to protect myself sooner.

Sorrow is a premonition of the ending.

That handsome face was ultimately beyond saving.

The "Thousand Spider Poison Hand" requires the use of highly poisonous substances to maintain its health, so its disfigurement is inevitable.

Joy is that I can finally learn martial arts!

In the world of martial arts, those without martial arts skills are like ants, at the mercy of others.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xin had already made up his mind.

So what if I'm disfigured?

Compared to being able to protect those you care about and gain a foothold in the martial world, this price is insignificant.

Moreover, this "Thousand Spider Poison Hand" is simply a chosen martial art for him!

What he awakened was the All-Heavens Side Effects Collection System!

So what if it's an evil practice?

Evil techniques are truly amazing!

Later, he even practiced evil arts!

The core mechanism of the system is to collect various side effects of cultivation.

For example, the disfigurement side effect of practicing the "Thousand Spider Poison Hand" is precisely the core material collected by the system.

Who can say for sure that in some future universe, the origin of a disfigurement card might not stem from his choice at this moment?

This is a unique "resource"!

Su Xin took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and looked up at his aunt Su Ying. His tone was resolute, without the slightest hesitation: "I am willing to cultivate this secret manual, even if it disfigures me!"

Having a system but not using it is truly a waste of resources.

Moreover, he already had new plans in mind.

The thought of going to find Yin Tianzheng was instantly dispelled.

After all, he was still "Grandpa".

Although blood ties and family affection remain, they cannot protect one's entire life.

The world is a dangerous place, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Only one's own strength can ensure a safe and secure life.

Now that the system has arrived and the secret manual is in hand, he no longer needs to rely on the protection of others.

In this world of martial arts, Su Xin is going to personally explore it!

At this moment, Su Ying asked again, "Are you sure you want to cultivate this secret manual? It might cause your face to be severely disfigured!"

He looked at his aunt, his words resounding as if he were declaring to himself: "I'm certain! In this world, only strength is the foundation for survival. Having kindness without the ability to protect oneself is just womanly compassion, which will only harm both oneself and others in the end."

That year, he saw things all too clearly.

The intrigue and backstabbing within the Yin family, and the relentless pressure from the second aunt—if he hadn't been reborn with a prophet, he probably would have become cannon fodder in this power struggle within a wealthy family, just like in the original story.

Therefore, he cannot be weak, nor dare he be weak.

Su Ying was stunned for a moment when she saw the unprecedented ruthlessness and determination in her nephew's eyes, and then she smiled with relief.

This is also why she struggled with this for so long!

She didn't want her daughter to cultivate it, after all, it was because of this Thousand Spider Poison Hand that she had annoyed King Yin.

I don't want my daughter to follow in my footsteps!

She knew that the martial world was never a safe haven. Since her nephew had made up his mind, there was no point in trying to persuade him further. She could only solemnly hand over the manual: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, this manual is yours. Just be careful in everything you do, and remember to know when to stop."

As Su Xin received the heavy book, "The Thousand Spider Poison Hand," he was filled with mixed emotions.

He accepted it solemnly, his hands trembling slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.

His special ability has finally come to fruition.

"Thank you, Auntie."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a nimble figure rushed over.

Yin Li had somehow already run over. Her short legs moved incredibly fast, and she pounced on Su Xin's side. Looking up at the manual in her mother's hand with curiosity, she turned to Su Xin, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new and fun toy. Her voice was filled with excitement: "Brother Xin, you practice this skill too? That's great! We can practice together! You teach me, and I'll practice with you. We siblings can become powerful together!"

In her eyes, this "Thousand Spider Poison Hand" sounded impressive, and being able to learn martial arts with Brother Xin was the happiest thing in the world. She had no idea about the terrible consequences of having her appearance ruined and her body covered in poison.

Her mind was filled with the thought of being able to follow Brother Xin and roam the martial world freely, so that no one would dare to bully them anymore.

Looking at Yin Li's innocent and carefree appearance, Su Xin felt a warmth in his heart, followed by a strong urge to protect her.

He raised his hand and gently ruffled Yin Li's hair, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable force: "Alright, once I've mastered it, I'll definitely teach you. However, this skill is dangerous, so you mustn't try it lightly."

He didn't want Ali to follow the same path as in the original story, and he especially didn't want her to have her appearance ruined.

He can handle this all by himself.

Upon hearing this, Yin Li nodded vigorously, her little face full of conviction: "Yes! I'll listen to you, brother! Wherever you go, I'll go!"

Looking at the brother and sister who depended on each other for survival, Su Ying finally showed a truly relieved smile.

Su Xin carried the manual back to his room and casually took out a package, which he spread out on the table.

The brocade box inside caught his eye.

Su Ying had already prepared it. Inside the box was a small, thumb-sized, colorful spider with bright colors and clear patterns, clearly a carefully raised young spider.

He knew in his heart that this was just the beginning; only by enduring the blood-devouring tempering of the adult flower spider could he be considered to have truly entered the door.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his excitement, Su Xin slowly extended his hand.

Upon seeing this, the young spider, which had been starving for who knows how many days, almost instinctively sprang up and bit his fingertip hard.

The expected sharp pain did not come; instead, a slightly cool sensation spread from my fingertips.

The system responded exceptionally quickly, and the pain shielding took effect immediately, leaving him without the slightest discomfort.

The next second, the spider's body in the box visibly shriveled up, instantly turning into a dried-up spider corpse.

However, the deadly poison and essence accumulated within its body, under the system's transformation, flowed into Su Xin's body like a stream.

Su Xin quickly used the internal force of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand to transport the poison along the route. A quarter of an hour later, the poison quietly merged with his remaining meager internal force.

Almost simultaneously, a pale blue light screen suddenly appeared before his eyes.
