The young man's mouth twitched as he frowned.
Looking at the empty treasure trove and the unfamiliar face, his expression gradually changed from sluggishness to anger. "Whoosh!" He pulled out his sword and pointed it at Xu Que. In a stern voice, he asked, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my sect's treasury. "
Xu Que glanced at the last Divine Escape Emblem in his system inventory and smiled calmly.
"Brother, you don't even know who I am and you dare to point your sword at me? Don't you know that I hate it the most when people point their spears … er, swords at my head? "
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 1 act tough point."
The young man was stunned as he replied, "I didn't point at your head!"
He then regained his senses and shouted angrily, "Cut the crap. You dare to trespass into my treasury? You are simply seeking death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's sword let out a buzzing sound and a red light shot out in all directions. He then charged towards Xu Que with a fiery hot aura.
Damn it, this guy is not easy to deal with! He is much stronger than that little fairy. He looks like he is at least of the Foundation Building Stage! But why are all these cultivators like this? Just because they don't agree with each other, they start a fight.
Xu Que cursed under his breath and immediately activated his Qi to defend himself. However, he felt that something was wrong.
All of a sudden, a huge amount of Qi gushed out from within his body, circling around his eight extraordinary meridians. It was as if his body was being pierced by millions of needles. In an instant, Xu Que's body trembled and he fell to the ground.
"Ah …"
Xu Que clutched at his lower abdomen, where his Dantian was located. He felt as if he was going to explode from all the Spiritual Qi in his body.
Why is this happening?
Xu Que thought about the large amount of pills he had swallowed earlier and his face turned pale.
It's over, it's over.
So it's not that the pills didn't work, but that he needed to catalyze them himself.
When he swallowed the pills, he didn't even try to circulate his Qi until the young man forced him to do so. In the end, he catalyzed all the pills at the same time.
"How dare you! What are you trying to do?"
Zhang Su Liang looked at Xu Que suspiciously. He saw that Xu Que was clutching his lower abdomen, and there were dozens of empty pill bottles scattered around him. Zhang Su Liang's expression changed instantly, and his face was filled with shock as he asked, "You … you just ate all these pills?"
Xu Que no longer had the strength to answer him. He curled up on the ground and his face turned pale.
Even though he had five spiritual roots, he couldn't digest all the spiritual Qi in his body.
Zhang Su Liang was also dumbfounded. These elixirs … were the monthly allowance given to the outer sect disciples on normal days! An ordinary Essence Gathering Pill was enough for a Qi Condensation disciple to cultivate for more than a month.
But this guy in front of him had swallowed dozens of pills in one go, and he had even eaten the Foundation Establishment Recovery Pill and Body Tempering Pill. Could it be that he wanted to commit suicide to escape punishment?
"Ding! Host 'Xu Que's' body is overloaded with spiritual Qi. His body is damaged. Do you want to activate the auto-recovery function? Note that the auto-recovery function consumes 1 act tough point every hour. "
The system notification rang in his head. Xu Que didn't even think and replied, "Activate it quickly and help me get rid of the spiritual Qi."
"Ding! Activation of auto-recovery function successful. One act tough point deducted."
"Ding! Host's cultivation of" Ancient Five Elemental Arts "is only at the beginner level and is unable to digest all the spiritual Qi. Intermediate level required."
Swoosh!
With the activation of the auto-recovery function, Xu Que felt the pain in his body lessen. At the same time, a screen popped up in front of him. It was the system's store.
This was the first time he looked at the system store. It was filled with all sorts of skills and treasures.
When he saw the price of the intermediate level of "Ancient Five Elemental Arts", he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The intermediate level requires 100 act tough points? Fuck! Why don't you just rob a bank? I've been acting tough for an entire day and I can't even afford a single skill. "Xu Que cursed.
Zhang Su Liang frowned and was about to speak when Xu Que's expression changed and he let out another scream.
"Ah …"
His scream was extremely miserable and wasn't an act. It was because the auto-recovery function couldn't keep up with the speed of the spiritual Qi's destruction. He had consumed too many pills and his mortal body couldn't take it anymore.
"Rather than dying in such pain, why don't I give you a quick death!"
Zhang Su Liang couldn't bear to see him die. He gripped his sword tightly and decided to give Xu Que a quick death.
Seeing this, Xu Que hurriedly mustered up his last bit of strength and gritted his teeth, "Don't bother about me. Everyone has to die. It can be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a goose feather. If I don't enter hell, who will? Ah …"
As soon as he finished speaking, a "whoosh" sound could be heard. Xu Que disappeared without a trace. It looked as if his body had exploded and his soul was destroyed. Not even his physical body was left.
Zhang Su Liang's mouth was agape and couldn't regain his senses for a long time. It was as if he was shocked by Xu Que's heroic words before he died.
...
However, Xu Que didn't die. He was afraid that if he continued to stay there, he would be killed by Zhang Su Liang. Hence, he decisively crushed the Divine Escape Emblem and escaped. It was just that before he left, he acted tough.
However, this act of acting tough was quite ordinary. The system still rewarded him with one act tough point. Compared to the 100 act tough points required for the intermediate level of the "Ancient Five Elemental Arts", it was like a drop in the bucket.
The key was that Xu Que still had the auto-recovery function activated. Every two hours, he would have to use up one act tough point. However, the spiritual Qi didn't seem to be decreasing. Instead, it was getting stronger and stronger. It was like a strong liquor with a strong aftertaste.
This wasn't the way to go.
Xu Que was teleported to a small stream in the mountains. Coincidentally, his back was against a big tree. He propped himself up and summoned the Acting Tough System. An interface appeared in front of him:
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 10 (Beginner)
Acting Tough Points: 15 points
Skills: "Ancient Five Elemental Arts", Beginner Level
Occupation: None
Status: Prince Consort of the Eastern Continent Fire Empire
Current Life Status: Critical Danger
... "
The corner of Xu Que's mouth twitched when he saw the last line of words.
Critical danger wasn't a good thing. It was like receiving a notice of critical illness in the hospital. It was basically a death sentence!
"Damned system. Where's the promise to bring me along to act tough? Hurry up and help me find a solution!" Xu Que clutched his abdomen, his face filled with pain.
"Ding! Examination complete. According to the host's current act tough points and life status, the system has found a solution for you …"
Hearing this, Xu Que's eyes lit up. His life was once again filled with hope.
But at the next moment, his vision turned black again.
