"Who sent you?"
The calm voice echoed through the spacious living room.
But to Shadow Blade's ears, it sounded like the whisper of death itself!
Shadow Blade, kneeling and sprawled on the floor, trembled violently all over.
His proud stealth technique had been seen through in an instant.
His ultimate killing strike, fueled by a full six hundred thousand points of blood qi, had only managed to scratch the other party's skin.
And now.
The force pressing down on his head, threatening to crush his very soul...
Was mental power!
Pure to the extreme, vast as an ocean—mental power!
Shadow Blade had never cultivated any mental-power martial arts, but as an ace assassin of the Abyss Cult, he had killed countless Grandmasters. He knew far too well what this level of mental suppression meant!
A Martial King!
This was absolutely Martial King-level mental power!
Even more condensed, more overbearing than any human Martial King he had ever encountered!
"Monster..."
"This bastard is no freshman at all..."
"This is an ancient ferocious beast wearing human skin!!!"
Shadow Blade howled inwardly in sheer despair.
Was the intelligence department full of idiots?!
A thousand blood qi points?
A manifested spear intent?
Bullshit!
Where was the spear intent?
What a load of garbage intel.
This was definitely not some new student!
With defense capable of barehandedly catching an armor-breaking dagger, this guy was at least a Martial Adept at peak level!
Add the Martial King-level mental power on top of that!
Forget someone like him with six hundred thousand blood qi—even if the Cult's Martial Adept-ranked bishop came personally, he'd be leaving his life here today!
Today was a complete washout!
No chance of survival whatsoever!
As a death-sworn agent trained by the Abyss Cult, a flash of grim decisiveness shot through Shadow Blade's eyes.
Since death was certain, he absolutely could not fall into human hands!
He could not leak a single secret of the Cult's operations in the capital!
Crack!
Without hesitation, Shadow Blade bit down on a specially crafted poison sac hidden in his back molar.
The venomous liquid flowed instantly down his throat.
At the same time, the six hundred thousand blood qi that had been suppressed by that mental force began to churn in reverse!
He was going to self-destruct!
Using a Grandmaster-level explosion to erase every trace of his existence!
However.
Su Yu, sitting on the sofa, sensed all of this through his mental power.
Trying to die?
Did you ask me first?!
"Suppress!"
Su Yu's thin lips parted slightly, uttering a single icy word.
Boom!
The Martial King-level mental power pressing down on Shadow Blade's head transformed instantly into an invisible heavy hammer.
Ignoring the violently reversing blood qi, ignoring his hard skull.
It drove straight and brutally into the depths of his sea of consciousness!
Bang!
Shadow Blade's mental defenses didn't hold for even a tenth of a second against that absolute force—they crumbled instantly!
He let out a muffled groan.
His eyes rolled back, and traces of black blood seeped from his seven orifices.
Like a puppet with its strings cut, he collapsed limply to the floor.
Completely unconscious!
The six hundred thousand blood qi that had been reversing, about to detonate, lost all conscious guidance and sank into stillness like dead water.
Even the poison he had just swallowed was forcibly sealed within his stomach by Su Yu's mental power, unable to spread into his bloodstream!
In the face of Martial King-level mental power.
He didn't even have the right to kill himself!
Su Yu slowly withdrew his mental power.
He stood up, walked over to the unconscious Shadow Blade, and looked down at the assassin from above.
"Hidden poison. Self-destruction."
"Your methods are quite professional."
Su Yu frowned slightly.
This kind of death-sworn agent, fearless and quick to take their own life, was the most troublesome to deal with.
Even though he possessed Martial King-level mental power and could easily crush the man's soul, extracting clean intelligence from a death-sworn agent's mind was still no easy task.
Every trade has its master.
Interrogation was something better left to professionals.
"I'll go ask the principal."
Su Yu made his decision inwardly.
Vice Principal Nie Changkong was a Martial Emperor and a man of real power at Capital Martial Academy.
He controlled countless intelligence networks and interrogation experts under his command.
If you handed this assassin to him, even a stone would yield oil when squeezed.
After all, someone had dared to send a Grandmaster to assassinate a special-level freshman right under Capital Martial's nose.
That wasn't just a provocation against him—it was a slap to the entire academy's face!
The force behind this had to be rooted out completely.
But before that.
Su Yu's gaze slowly shifted to the other side of the living room.
Over there.
A staggering pile of one hundred and ten million in cash still sat stacked high!
A mountain of red banknotes, exuding a tempting scent of ink.
The assassin's earlier strike, though blocked by his indestructible body, had still managed to nick his skin.
That stirred a faint sense of crisis within Su Yu.
A hundred thousand crystalline blood qi, capable of fighting at Martial Adept level.
In this capital, crawling with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it didn't seem like nearly enough!
What if a Martial King came next?
What if a Martial Emperor came?
The only safest choice was to convert every last resource into personal power!
"System."
Su Yu turned around, walked back to the mountain of cash, and sat down cross-legged.
A blazing fire burned in his deep eyes.
"Recharge!"
"One hundred and ten million!"
Whoosh!!!
The moment Su Yu gave the command, the air in the living room seemed to be drained away entirely!
The mountain of cash vanished into nothingness under an indescribable, mighty force.
No flash of light.
No sound.
It was simply erased from the physical world entirely!
[Ding!]
[Recharge successful.]
[One hundred and ten million dragon coins deducted. Converted to one hundred and ten million years of cultivation.]
The cold, mechanical prompt exploded within his mind!
One hundred and ten million years!
A span of time so terrifying that stars would fall and seas would turn to dust!
Su Yu took a deep breath.
"Pour all one hundred and ten million years of cultivation..."
"Into my martial realm!"
Boom!
Su Yu's consciousness was pulled for the fourth time into that pitch-black, absolutely frozen void of inner-world deduction.
There, he would spend a long, long age—tens of millions of years!
Year one.
The Supreme Void Vortex spun steadily within his dantian.
Su Yu quietly felt the growth of his blood qi.
However.
By the time the first hundred years had passed, his blood qi had only increased by a single point!
The Su Yu within the void snapped his eyes open!
"Something's wrong!"
Frowning deeply, he carefully sensed the changes in his blood qi.
According to his original talent, he could increase his blood qi by 0.1 each year.
Ten years for one point.
A hundred years should mean ten points!
Yet now.
A full hundred years had passed, and his blood qi had only risen by a single point?!
Had his talent declined?
Su Yu immediately sank his mind inward, examining his dantian.
A moment later.
An utterly shocked glint flashed through his eyes.
"So that's it..."
It wasn't that his talent had declined.
It was that the quality of his blood qi had undergone a revolutionary transformation!
Because the Supreme Void Blood Source Scripture had already been deduced to its ultimate perfection.
This heavenly-ranked, top-grade peerless technique had already fused completely into his very instincts.
Now, every trace of fresh blood energy he generated was instantly devoured and compressed by the Void Vortex the moment it arose.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human.
