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

at the same time.

Deep underground in Kyoto, inside a completely abandoned air-raid shelter.

Dim.

Repressed.

The air was filled with a nauseating stench of decay and blood.

This is a secret stronghold of the Abyss Order in Kyoto.

The Abyss Order worships the Abyss.

They are a group of humans whose minds have been completely corrupted and twisted by the abyss.

They abandoned their human identity and willingly became lackeys of the abyss.

Their sole purpose is to disrupt the development of the human race.

A genius at sniping humans!

at this time.

In the center of the spacious underground hall.

Several figures shrouded in wide black robes were gathered in front of an altar that emitted a scarlet light.

Above the altar.

A holographic projection is playing on a loop.

The scene clearly shows the dueling arena by Weiming Lake.

Su Yu conjured a dark red, transformed spear out of thin air with one hand, and pierced through Chen Feng's mental defenses with a single thrust.

The image freezes on the long spear that exudes a terrifying aura.

The hall was deathly silent.

a long time.

The leader, a man in black robes, slowly raised his head.

Beneath the hood, a pair of eyes gleamed with an eerie green light.

"genius."

The black-robed man's voice was hoarse and grating, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

"A peerless prodigy!"

His tone revealed undisguised amazement, as well as an exceptionally strong killing intent.

"At eighteen, one thousand points of Qi and blood."

"He actually managed to comprehend the transformative spear intent that brings the ethereal to the tangible."

"Looking back over the past century since the Abyss Cult infiltrated the human race, this is a unique and monstrous talent."

Another hunched-over man in black robes sneered.

"It's just a pity!"

"A prodigy who hasn't matured cannot be called a prodigy!!"

"This kind of monster must not be allowed to grow to the Martial Emperor realm alive."

"Otherwise, our race will inevitably face another major threat on the future battlefields of the Abyss!"

"An assassination plan must be formulated immediately!"

The leader of the men in black robes nodded.

He reached out and made a gesture in the air, bringing up Su Yu's detailed information.

According to the data...

"He is currently only at the Martial Master level, with 1,000 Qi and Blood Points."

"Although I have grasped the essence of the Transformation Spear, my physical body and blood are extremely weak."

"Sending a Grandmaster with 10,000 HP to carry out the assassination should be enough, right?"

The voice just fell.

A burly man in black robes standing nearby immediately shook his head.

"It's hard to say!"

"That's spear intent, and it's manifested spear intent!"

"The fact that he could kill Chen Feng, who had three thousand health points, in one move shows that his destructive power has far exceeded the limitations of health points."

"Sending a Grandmaster with 10,000 HP still carries the risk of being killed!"

"That……"

The leader of the men in black robes pondered for a moment.

"Where are the Grandmasters with 100,000 HP??"

This statement came out.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became somewhat heavy.

A Grandmaster with 100,000 Qi and Blood is an absolute high-level combat force within the sect.

Even the death of one person is a huge loss.

"I still feel there's a risk!"

The burly man in black robes frowned, his tone unusually serious.

"That kid is a top genius!"

"Having mastered human form at eighteen, who knows what other hidden trump cards he might have to protect himself?"

"Just to be on the safe side."

"Let's just deploy a martial spirit with a million HP!"

"Only with the intervention of a Martial Spirit can an absolute crushing power be achieved, ensuring absolute victory!!!"

Martial Spirit!

These two words caused the several men in black robes present to gasp in shock.

"But!"

The hunchbacked man in black robes immediately retorted.

"This is Kyoto!"

"It's the human race's most heavily fortified base!"

"Within the Jingwu organization, there's a powerful figure like Martial Emperor Nie Changkong overseeing things!"

"Even an old man on the street could be a Martial Venerable!"

"Once the assassination begins, whether it succeeds or fails, the martial spirit aura that erupts will absolutely not escape the perception of a top-tier martial artist."

"The martial spirits who carried out the mission are doomed!"

He paused, a hint of disdain in his tone.

"I don't think it's necessary."

"One Grandmaster is enough!"

"Even if he possesses the Transformation Spear Intent, there's still an insurmountable gap between a thousand units of Qi and Blood and a hundred thousand units of Grandmaster Qi!!"

"A Grandmaster's protective aura cannot be broken by a thousand units of qi and blood!"

"No!"

The burly man in black robes remained steadfast in his opinion.

"Don't forget!"

"That kid was personally designated a top-tier genius by Nie Changkong!"

"Why wouldn't Jingwu invest heavily in developing him?"

"What if the higher-ups at Jingwu gave him a massive amount of resources, allowing him to break through in the next few days?"

"What if his strength suddenly increases, and the assassination attempt on the Grandmaster fails?"

"If we stir up trouble, the human race will be on high alert, and assassination attempts will become virtually impossible!"

Faced with the burly man in black robes' concerns.

The hunchbacked man in the black robe seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help but sneer.

"breakthrough?"

"To what extent can he break through?"

"A thousand points of Qi and Blood, even if he has extraordinary talent, even if Jingwu feeds him high-grade spiritual herbs like they're food!"

"In three days, I've only managed to raise my health to a maximum of two thousand!"

"In the path of martial arts, the accumulation of qi and blood requires time and refinement; this is an ironclad rule!"

The hunchbacked man in black robes made a solemn vow.

"How powerful can two thousand Qi and Blood be?"

"Before a Grandmaster with 100,000 Qi and Blood, he is still just an ant that can be crushed with a flick of the wrist!"

"Grandmasters are enough! There's absolutely no need to send Martial Spirits to their deaths in vain!"

Inside the lobby.

A brief silence fell.

The black-robed leader's eyes flickered, as if he were weighing the pros and cons.

finally.

He nodded slowly.

"That makes sense."

"Our Martial Spirit level agents are our most important trump card in Kyoto, and we cannot expose them easily."

"Then let's send a Grandmaster."

A cruel, bloodthirsty glint flashed in the eyes of the leader in black robes.

"Send that most powerful grandmaster."

"The one with a Qi and Blood value of 600,000!"

"Shadow Blade!"

Upon hearing this code name, the other men in black robes all nodded in unison.

Shadow Blade.

The Abyss Order's top assassin.

Although his Qi and Blood value was only 600,000, he had not reached the peak Grandmaster level of one million.

But his assassination skills were unparalleled.

Countless human grandmasters and great grandmasters died at his hands.

He was tasked with assassinating a freshman with only 1,000 health points.

That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Absolutely a sure thing!

"Um!"

The leader, a man in black robes, made the final decision.

He looked at Su Yu's calm and profound face on the holographic projection.

The voice was extremely cold.

"Send the order to Shadowblade."

Within three days.

"I want to see the fall of this unparalleled genius on the news!"

……

at the same time.

Kyoto, inside an ultra-luxurious single-level apartment.

Su Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the spacious living room.

All around were piles of brand-new dragon coins, exuding the fresh scent of ink.

A full 130 million in cash!

A sea of ​​red, reflecting a dazzling luster under the crystal chandelier.

"system."

Su Yu's voice rang out in the quiet living room.

calm.

Yet it reveals an absolute thirst for power.

"Pay-to-win!"
