Mop-up

Chen Changsheng was quite pleased with the reactions of the chat group members. Truth be told, when he first saw his own physique on the status panel, even he found it unbelievable.

Although he had already reached the Nascent Soul realm relying on this so-called Yin-Yang Holy Physique.

Honestly, he simply could not fathom how this physique was rated as a Tier 4.

While he had no idea what cultivation realm Tier 4 corresponded to in his world, he himself was currently only at Tier 3. Even if he calculated it tier by tier, Tier 4 would equate to the Soul Formation realm at the very least.

Yet, he truly didn't feel there was anything special about this physique, other than the fact that his cultivation grew much faster when consummating a marriage with a woman.

Moreover, he initially thought that being able to raise his cultivation through consummation was his cheat ability. He figured he might be able to rely on it all the way to the Soul Formation, Void Refinement, Dao Integration, or even the Mahayana realm to become an immortal.

But looking at it now, the upper limit was already set in stone.

It was highly likely that by the time he reached the Void Refinement realm, the physique would no longer be able to keep up with his pace.

This inevitably left Chen Changsheng feeling a bit disappointed.

[Martial Arts King: @Innate Wife-Taking Physique, I acknowledge your strength. If you ever come to my world in the future, or if I am able to reach yours, we should spar.]

Meanwhile, in the world of Campione, atop a certain mountain peak in Huaxia, a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a qipao with her black hair simply tied back was staring straight ahead, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

Her name was Luo Hao, known as the Martial Arts King in the chat group, and she was one of the six strongest individuals in her world.

In the world of Campione, gods from the heavenly realm would often descend to the mortal realm due to various unforeseen circumstances.

Furthermore, these gods would descend in forms that contradicted their own mythologies.

For example, a water god might unleash an apocalyptic flood, a fire god would leave not a single blade of grass alive wherever they passed, and a creator god would seek to destroy the world.

These descended deities were known as Heretic Gods, meaning gods who refused to comply with their own myths.

Luo Hao and the other five individuals were mortals who had managed to slay these Heretic Gods, thereby usurping the divine authorities of the gods.

They shared a unified title: Campiones, the God Slayers.

This was also the origin of their world's name.

The power of a Campione was absolute in this world.

Even a nuclear warhead would be nothing more than taking a hot bath for a Campione.

As one of the oldest Campiones, Luo Hao had lived for over two hundred years, surviving from the late Qing Dynasty all the way to the modern era.

Throughout these two centuries, she was undeniably lonely.

After all, she had slain multiple Heretic Gods, using those experiences to push her martial arts to a level that rivaled the gods themselves.

Fighting ordinary Heretic Gods was completely effortless for her, failing to arouse even the slightest bit of her interest.

Even Marquis Voban, who was also recognized as one of the oldest Campiones alongside her, had been beaten by her so badly that he was forced to resurrect several times.

Luo Hao believed herself to be invincible in this world. She felt that even if a true god were to descend in their actual body, she would absolutely not lose to them.

However, the appearance of Chen Changsheng had ignited a long-lost fighting spirit within her.

Yet, in the very next moment, the fighting spirit in Luo Hao's eyes awkwardly froze.

[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: Give me a break. I thought you were incredibly strong, but it turns out you're just at Tier 3 like me. While Tier 3 isn't exactly considered trash in my world, it is still extremely far from the peak. I'm busy trying to catch up to the true experts, so I don't have time to play house with you.]

[Stumbled Into High-Tier Lobby: Playing house... Sister Luo Hao must be going crazy with anger, right?]

[Kashiwagi Eri: She might already be fuming.]

[Yunlan Sect Master: Oh my. If Tier 3 is barely above being trash, doesn't that make a Tier 2 like me exactly that, trash?]

[Empire's Strongest Female General: I am also at Tier 2...]

They all knew just how proud Luo Hao was. Being provoked by Chen Changsheng like this, she was probably furious.

However, Luo Hao wasn't as angry as they thought. Instead, after snapping back to reality, her gaze became fervent.

If Chen Changsheng wasn't bragging, it meant that the power system of his world was vastly superior to hers.

This meant that there was finally hope for her to break through the bottleneck in strength that had plagued her for over two centuries.

[Martial Arts King: @Innate Wife-Taking Physique, I look forward to our battle.]

[Innate Wife-Taking Physique: Suit yourself. I'm going to gather points to upgrade my cultivation techniques now.]

With that said, Chen Changsheng closed the chat group directly.

The chat group honestly wasn't of much help to him at his current stage.

The only thing that could actually assist him was probably the enhancement function.

However, his current points were still less than half of what he needed to upgrade his cultivation technique to Tier 3, so he really couldn't muster much interest in the chat group right now.

He was far more interested in Lu Ling'er, who was resting in his arms.

Thinking this, Chen Changsheng casually took a blanket out of his storage ring and draped it over the soundly sleeping Lu Ling'er.

He then got up and headed straight for the Chen family's Scripture Pavilion.

Although the Chen family's Scripture Pavilion lacked Nascent Soul realm cultivation techniques and secret arts, and even Golden Core realm techniques were extremely scarce.

However, thanks to over a century of development under Chen Changsheng, the collection of techniques and secret arts below the Golden Core realm had grown to a massive volume.

After Chen Changsheng swept through the entire Scripture Pavilion, his points reached an astonishing total of over 680,000.

He had now gathered more than half of the points needed to upgrade his cultivation technique to Tier 3.

At the same time, Chen Changsheng noticed something unusual.

The Foundation Establishment realm techniques and secret arts were actually classified as Tier 2 by the chat group as well.

However, compared to the Golden Core realm techniques, which easily yielded tens of thousands of points, the Foundation Establishment ones only added a few thousand at a time.

The Body Tempering and Qi Condensation techniques and secret arts yielded even less, adding only a few hundred points each.

It was only because the Chen family's century-long accumulation was so vast that he was able to scrape together 500,000 points just by adding hundreds and thousands.

But this was already the limit of what the Chen family had to offer.

Now, even if Chen Changsheng were to sweep through the entirety of Tianyun City, it would probably be difficult to scrape together another 10,000 points.

After all, he had already secretly paid visits to the Scripture Pavilions of the major factions in Tianyun City back when he broke through to the Golden Core realm.

Chen Changsheng sighed softly, These points are truly hard to come by.

However, after exchanging so many techniques and secret arts, a delightful speculation came to his mind.

It was highly likely that Tier 3 did not simply correspond to just the Nascent Soul realm.

After all, both Tier 1 and Tier 2 each encompassed two different cultivation realms.

There was no reason for Tier 3 to solely correspond to the Nascent Soul realm, right?

In other words, if he upgraded his cultivation technique to Tier 3, Chen Changsheng would very likely obtain a technique that led straight to the Soul Formation realm.

A technique that led straight to Soul Formation! Even the Xuanyu Sect he had once joined did not possess a Soul Formation realm technique.

Filled with secret anticipation, Chen Changsheng immediately decided to resume his old trade and pay a thorough visit to the Scripture Pavilions of the major Golden Core factions across the Great Yan Kingdom.
