“Go back and tell the Jiang family that I am Xu Que of the Exploding Heavens Faction. I robbed their stuff because I think well of them. If they aren’t happy, they can come here and fight me!”

After leaving his domineering message, Xu Que turned around and left, dragging Buttface with him.

After all, he had only targeted the Jiang family, not the people of the auction house. It was unnecessary to kill them. Therefore, he left immediately after his robbery.

“Little brat, you’d better return it to them. This stuff is not simple, and it could bring us great trouble!” As cowardly as ever, Buttface thought it was too risky to keep the stolen object.

“Damn! Weren’t you unwilling to compromise on the subject just now?” Xu Que replied disdainfully.

“I didn’t know it belonged to a powerhouse in the Form Synthesis Stage! If I knew, why would I steal it?” Buttface explained irrationally.

In fact, Buttface didn’t want to follow Xu Que anymore, for Xu Que had just mentioned his name, which could offer his enemy the opportunity to seek revenge against him.

“If you’re afraid, just leave!” Xu Que snorted.

“Damn! How could I be afraid? In addition, we’ve gone through hell and high water so many times. I know that we should share troubles! Oh, just set me free, your dragging is making me uncomfortable!” Buttface said nobly. However, he maintained a posture that would allow him to run away if Xu Que set him free.

“Buttface, don’t worry! You can’t run away from this issue. This stuff was stolen by you. When the people of the Jiang family come to me, I’ll definitely sell you out!” Xu Que consoled him.

Buttface widened his eyes and nearly spat blood. “Damn! You give it to me, and I’ll return it to the Jiang family personally!”

“Stop wasting your words! See, those people have long disappeared. It’d be useless to go back now!” he said with a smile, still moving forward.

Buttface turned around and found the people of the auction house who had been too slow to catch up with them had disappeared, as expected.

“How could that be useless? I still remember the location of their auction house. There’s still time for me to return the stuff. As the saying goes, it’s always better to have a friend than to have an enemy, let alone an enemy in the Form Synthesis Stage!” Buttface did his best to persuade Xu Que. It seemed cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage were quite scary to him.

Xu Que was also confused that although Buttface was cowardly, he always talked big, as if he was unyielding. Why was he so afraid of cultivators in the Form Synthesis Stage?

“Buttface, let me tell you the truth! The Jiang family is hunting the Water Empress. Moreover, almost the entire East Continent is targeting the Water Empress! This time, I will punish several families. I’ll kill anyone who targets the Water Empress!” Xu Que said with a faint smile. However, his serious eyes revealed that he wasn’t joking.

Buttface was stunned, then said in surprise, “Little brat, this isn’t who you are! You’re always selfish, why are you behaving nobly this time?”

“Sh*t!” Xu Que hit Buttface’s forehead with his hand directly.

The man and the dog kept quarreling on their way until they stopped at a desolated mountain.

After confirming no one was around, Xu Que landed on the ground and planned to check the magic arts hidden in the object he had taken.

Whoosh!

However, hardly had Xu Que released Buttface on the ground when Buttface escaped without any hesitation.

“Little brat, it’s not that I’m disloyal to you! You’re making yourself an enemy of the entire East Continent, which is a serious issue. Therefore, I’ll look for people to help you!” Buttface explained as he ran crazily.

Xu Que decided to ignore Buttface. Buttface wasn’t very helpful beside him anyway. It was just as well to let him go so that Xu Que could focus on searching for the Water Empress.

Xu Que opened the System interface. After several months of acting tough, he had accumulated over 80,000 Acting Tough Points!

It was a scary number. The 80,000 Acting Tough Points gave Xu Que the confidence to be bold and fearless in the East Continent.

However, the precondition was that he had to upgrade the System first.

After all, now he only had two Basic Star Rank magic arts and one Intermediate Star Rank magic art, which were the Genuine · Flame Devouring Wave, the Genuine · Six Corporeal Forms and the Genuine · Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, respectively.

According to the fights in the Bright Moon Hotel, these three magic arts could make him invincible among cultivators in the Infant Transformation Stage. He could even fight with powerhouses at the top level of the Infant Transformation Stage with the Genuine · Buddha’s Fiery Lotus. However, he was still quite vulnerable in front of cultivators in the Void Training Stage.

After all, he was just at Level 4 of the Infant Transformation Stage. No matter how powerful the Genuine · Buddha’s Fiery Lotus was, its destructive power was restricted by his cultivation level, which was too weak to defeat cultivators at the Void Training Stage.

Therefore, he had to obtain Advanced Star Rank magic arts so that he could challenge the powerhouses in the Void Training Stage.

Xu Que had obtained one Advanced Star Rank magic art, the Genuine · Secret of ‘All’ of the Nine Secrets. However, the prerequisite to learning this magic art was to learn the ordinary Secret of ‘All’ of the Nine Secrets.

The ordinary Secret of ‘All’ of the Nine Secrets could be obtained by luck. Two of the nine secrets had been lost, and therefore, the success rate of obtaining the ordinary Secret of ‘All’ of the Nine Secrets was always one in seven, which was quite low.

However, now that Xu Que had accumulated abundant Acting Tough Points, he didn’t worry that he couldn’t obtain the ordinary Secret of ‘All’ of the Nine Secrets through luck.

However, the Dragon Soul Element brought back by Buttface had aroused Xu Que’s interest again.

With it, the possibility for him to acquire a Basic Star Rank magic art was sixty percent, the possibility for an Intermediate Star Rank magic art was fifty percent, and the possibility for an Advanced Star Rank magic art was thirty percent!

Xu Que was definitely attracted by the Advanced Star Rank magic art. Although the possibility was only thirty percent, he was ready to try his luck and enjoy the excitement!

“System, is there any method that can enhance the possibility of obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art?” Xu Que cautiously asked in advance.

Ding! “The host should upgrade the System to Version 5.0. The Lucky Aura will be activated, which could enhance the bonus possibility!” the System replied coldly.

Version 5.0?

Holy sh*t!

What an unscrupulous merchant you are!

Xu Que was annoyed immediately, for that was outrageous!

The version of the System he had was just 3.0. If he planned on purchasing Star Rank magic arts, he would have to spend 20,000 Acting Tough Points to upgrade the System to Version 4.0.

If he wanted to activate the Lucky Aura, he had to upgrade the System again, which would cost him at least 40,000 Acting Tough Points!

In other words, Xu Que had to spend 60,000 Acting Tough Points altogether if he wanted to enhance the possibility of obtaining Advanced Star Rank magic arts.

Only a fool would do that!

“No, never! I’d rather draw the Nine Secrets!” Xu Que rejected immediately. Then he put away the Dragon Soul Element and entered the Heaven Rank magic art area of the System Store.

The Nine Secrets (Remnant Paper)

Because the Secret of Arrive and the Secret of Count have been lost, the remaining seven secrets can be obtained through random selection. One secret may be obtained repeatedly in repetitive purchases!

Price: 200 Acting Tough Points!

“I have to spend 200 Acting Tough Points every time, and the success rate is one in seven. I don’t think I could miss it!”

Xu Que smiled and started to purchase the Nine Secrets.

Once the Secret of All was obtained, he could master an Advanced Star Rank magic art, which could multiply his strength in combat tenfold at the percentage of one hundred percent.

“Howl, little brat, help me! A she devil is chasing me!” However, Buttface’s hysterical voice sounded suddenly from nearby at this moment.

Xu Que was stunned, then he closed the System interface and looked around, following the voice.

He saw Buttface, who was being dragged by someone, dashing towards him.

The one who was dragging Buttface was a lady with a perfect figure. Moreover, the lady was an acquaintance of Xu Que’s whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
