Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

"fine."

"I don't need to rely on talent."

"I can spend money on in-game purchases."

Su Yu took a deep breath.

A thought arose.

It directly awakened the pay-to-win system deep within my mind.

Before he came to Kyoto, he carried with him more than 240,000 taels of dirty money that he had obtained from the Zhao family's assassins.

This is his only source of confidence to establish himself in Kyoto and to strive for higher goals.

"system."

Su Yu issued the command in his mind.

His gaze was fixed on the Soul-Suppressing Spear in the center of the lake.

"Target: The remaining spear intent of the Soul-Suppressing Spear in the heart of the lake."

"One thousand dollars!"

Ding.

A crisp notification sound rang in my mind.

The balance in my bank card account vanished silently by a thousand yuan in an instant.

[Recharge successful.]

[Cultivation Points Exchanged: One Thousand Years.]

[Residual high-level martial arts will detected...]

[Deducing and comprehending the essence of the Soul-Suppressing Spear for you...]

boom!

In Su Yu's mind, a thunderous roar exploded!

His consciousness seemed to be forcibly torn from his body by an irresistible and terrifying force.

They were dragged directly into a boundless, blood-red space!

The sky was dark red.

The earth was scorched black.

The air was thick with a suffocating, pungent smell of blood and the stench of strange beasts.

Time, in this space, has lost its original meaning.

It was stretched out indefinitely.

One year.

ten years.

century.

Five hundred years.

A full thousand years have passed!

Su Yu's consciousness was like that of an absolutely calm bystander.

He sat there for a thousand years in this blood-red battlefield.

He saw a towering figure from behind.

He held a dark red spear in his hand.

Alone, he stood before a massive, bottomless fissure in the earth.

In front.

They were endless, high-level alien beasts surging in like a black tsunami.

The roar shook the heavens.

That figure did not back down.

There was no fear.

It was extremely simple: just raise your hand.

Draw your gun!

prick!

pick!

hack!

smash!

There were no fancy martial arts techniques, no superfluous movements.

Each swing carries an unwavering, desperate determination, a willingness to sacrifice everything.

With each thrust, hundreds or even thousands of high-level beasts were reduced to ashes under the spear's light.

Su Yu just watched.

I've been watching for a thousand years.

He sensed the loneliness of that figure's back.

Feel the tragic grandeur of that sacrifice, willing to burn everything for the sake of the lights of countless homes behind them.

A thousand years of observation.

A thousand years of experience.

The moment Su Yu's consciousness was pulled back into reality by the system.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

"call--!!"

Su Yu was panting heavily.

His chest heaved violently.

It's like someone who has just been rescued from drowning.

The back of my clothes was completely soaked with cold sweat and clung tightly to my body.

At that moment, a faint, dark red light flickered in his deep eyes.

In the dark.

He seemed to have grasped something.

It was a terrifying rhythm that could only be understood intuitively, not described in words.

It was that figure from behind, in the moment of utter exhaustion, the prototype of the final thrust!

but.

So close!

It's like looking through an extremely tough layer of window paper.

I could clearly see the blinding light outside.

I could clearly feel that earth-shattering power.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break through!

"not enough."

Su Yu gritted his teeth.

A fierce glint, unlike anything he had ever seen before, flashed in his eyes.

A thousand years of insights.

A thousand years of sitting in solitude.

He could only barely grasp the threshold of that spear intent?!

Just how domineering is this Soul-Suppressing Spear Intent!

Just how incredibly talented and unparalleled was the third principal back then!

but.

Now that we've reached the threshold...

Now that we've seen through that thin veil...

Then use money.

Smash it open!

"system!"

Without any hesitation, Su Yu let out a silent roar in his mind.

"Top up another thousand!"

Ding.

The crisp notification sound rang out again.

The remaining balance is deducted again.

[Recharge successful.]

[Cultivation Points Exchanged: One Thousand Years.]

[Continuing to deduce the Soul-Suppressing Spear Intent for you...]

boom--!!!

This time.

Quantitative change finally led to qualitative change!

Two thousand years of sedimentation, two thousand years of observing life and death.

It transformed into a devastating, violent force.

It exploded in Su Yu's mind!

That layer of tough paper that blocked his way was instantly torn to shreds by this force!

He saw it clearly!

He finally saw it clearly!

Having seen that figure clearly, as his life came to an end, he ignited the life force within him and unleashed that peerless spear thrust!

There are no tricks.

There are no special moves.

Only pure and extreme killing!

Only the resolute determination to live in the face of death!

Repression!

Guardian!

hum-

Just as Su Yu fully comprehended this trace of spear intent!

A sudden change has occurred!

The center of the lake.

On that bare, black reef.

The broken gun, which had been silent for sixty years and had never made a sound despite the wind and rain.

Sudden.

A gunshot rang out with an extremely crisp and high-pitched sound!

Clang!

The sound was like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens!

It carried a kind of ecstatic joy and arrogance that had been suppressed for sixty years.

It instantly pierced through the vast surface of Weiming Lake and exploded with a deafening roar over the entire Jingwu campus!

next second.

A terrifying, dark red gun intent, visible to the naked eye and so intense it was nauseating.

It shot skyward from the broken half of the gun blade!

Piercing straight into the sky!

Rumble!

The once clear sky was torn apart by the soaring dark red gun intent, creating a cloud layer that stretched for a thousand meters!

A sudden gust of wind arose!

Sand and stones flew everywhere!

The once calm and mirror-like Weiming Lake began to churn and roar violently, as if it had been boiled!

It stirred up giant waves that were over ten meters high!

"thump!"

"thump!"

The entire shoreline of Weiming Lake.

All the senior students.

All the new students.

Including the mentor who was just talking eloquently, telling everyone to relax.

Under this sudden and terrifying pressure, everyone's legs went weak.

Everyone turned pale, their minds blank.

It was as if an invisible, peerless spear was hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment and crush them into dust!

"What...what happened?!"

The instructor lay face down on the grass.

His cheeks were pressed tightly against the mud.

His eyes, filled with terror and disbelief, were fixed on the dark red pillar of light that pierced the sky and earth in the center of the lake.

Their voices were trembling violently.

The teeth are knocking against each other.

"resonance……"

"The Soul-Suppressing Spear...it actually resonated?!"

"Who is it?!"

The mentor was roaring internally, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

"Which monster is it?!"

"He actually grasped the essence of the Soul-Suppressing Spear!!!"

Not just at the shore of Weiming Lake.

This domineering spear intent that soared into the sky instantly alarmed the entire Kyoto Martial Arts University!

Deep within the campus.

Inside several ancient towers that have been closed for many years.

Several ancient figures, whose auras were terrifying to the extreme and even surpassed the Martial Venerable realm, suddenly opened their eyes!

"The Soul-Suppressing Spear Sounds?"

"Sixty years...and finally someone has managed to break free of that old man's will?"

"Investigate! Investigate immediately! Which department's genius is this?"

The entire Jingwu area was in an uproar at this moment!

And on the shore of Weiming Lake.

At the very back of the crowd.

In that inconspicuous corner overgrown with weeping willows.

Su Yu.

He slowly stood up.

He was not overwhelmed by this terrifying pressure.

Because of this moment.

on him.

It exudes a similar aura to the broken spear in the heart of the lake, sharing the same origin and being exactly the same.

A terrifyingly intense dark red spear intent!

Su Yu stood in the raging wind.

The faded old short-sleeved shirt fluttered in the wind.

He slowly raised his right hand.

Fingers pointing together like swords.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, without the slightest ripple.

Extremely casually.

Towards the void ahead.

A gentle prick.

stab.

A piercing tearing sound echoed through the air.

It's like a thick canvas being forcibly ripped apart by a sharp blade.

A visible dark red wave of energy burst forth from his fingertips.

It swept past silently.

puff.

Ten meters ahead, there is a hard ironwood stone weighing several tons, about half a person's height, used for landscaping.

There was no explosion.

direct.

Divide into two!

The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

Even the internal texture of the stone remains completely intact!

Pure cutting!

Pure destruction!

Su Yu withdrew his finger.

Looking at the dark red light that had not yet completely dissipated from his fingertips.

Feeling the overwhelming and domineering gun intent within his body, as if it were his own arm.

A flicker of extreme shock and satisfaction flashed in his deep eyes.

Two thousand yuan.

Two thousand years of cultivation.

In return, he gained a trace of invincible killing intent from his spear.

"This money."

Su Yu put his hands back into his pockets.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"It was definitely worth the money."
