Chapter 23 Micro-Level Elemental Technique!
In Madman Drake’s wildest fantasies.
He would either die at the hands of a martial master, or fall to the siege of a large group of warriors.
Most likely, though, he would be killed by one of his peers. His excessive killing had earned him too many enemies; someone would inevitably place a bounty on his head, and there would always be those willing to claim it for money.
But what he never expected, even in his dreams, was that he would die at the hands of a beginner warrior two levels below him!
Thus, he was unwilling.
Even in death, he remained unwilling.
Even as he lay on the ground, blood pooling around him, Madman Drake’s eyes reflected nothing but shock and unwillingness!
“Elemental technique... He really mastered elemental techniques, and to such a degree of proficiency that he can use them effortlessly!”
Zhang Hengde wiped cold sweat from his forehead.
Indeed, he was so shocked by Su Xiaobai’s terrifying talent that he broke out in a cold sweat!
As an intermediate martial master, Zhang himself had trained in an elemental technique.
To do so, he had spent considerable time, effort, and even rare resources from his family, finally achieving some understanding.
Yet even now, he remained stuck at the beginner level, unable to progress further.
In contrast, Su Xiaobai had not only mastered elemental techniques but had done so as a beginner martial artist, demonstrating astonishing proficiency!
“No, something’s not right!”
“Mastering elemental techniques isn’t something one achieves overnight. Over the past few days, I haven’t seen him practice any techniques, nor has he been involved with anything related to techniques. This means... he didn’t master elemental techniques as a beginner warrior but rather as an advanced quasi-warrior!”
“If that’s the case, then when he stood in the family hall last time, he was already holding back and simply didn’t reveal his strength!”
The more Zhang Hengde thought about it, the more deeply he was shaken.
Mastering elemental techniques as an advanced quasi-warrior... How extraordinary must one’s talent be to accomplish such a feat?
If Su Xiaobai wished, a martial commander would immediately arrive in person to accept him as a disciple!
“This won’t do. I must return at once to report both the Yuan Family’s assassination order and this alarming news!”
Without lingering further, Zhang Hengde disappeared from the scene in a flash.
...
“Phew~”
“I must improve my strength quickly. As long as the Yuan Family remains, I will never have peace!”
...
“Bank cards... Without a password, they’re useless.”
“This bit of cash... Forget it. Even scraps of meat from a mosquito are still meat; I’ll take it!”
“These weapons could be sold for a decent price!”
“Poison needles... So many! Truly venomous!”
“And these herbs must be for making poison, right?”
Su Xiaobai looted Madman Drake thoroughly, leaving nothing untouched.
Unfortunately, after sorting through all the spoils, the only valuable items were a few alloy daggers and some poison-making materials. The rest were essentially worthless.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Su Xiaobai noticed something unusual about the clothing.
“It feels thicker than normal...”
With a light pull, Su Xiaobai tore the clothes into shreds, revealing several old sheets of paper.
As he read the contents, his pupils contracted sharply!
“This is... a micro-level elemental technique?!”
Su Xiaobai almost shouted in surprise.
Although the contents on these few sheets were sparse, Su Xiaobai had previously studied micro-level techniques and knew the vast difference between micro-level and beginner-level techniques.
Judging by the features, the content on these sheets was undoubtedly the highly coveted micro-level elemental technique that even martial masters would risk their lives to obtain!
“Unbelievable!”
After skimming through the pages, Su Xiaobai took a deep breath, excitement surging within him. He hadn’t expected such a treasure to be hidden on Madman Drake!
It was well-known that elemental techniques were rare treasures.
The Warrior Hall’s highest offering was merely beginner-level techniques, with not a single micro-level one available.
Su Xiaobai had felt a tinge of regret about this.
But unexpectedly, what he sought had landed in his hands effortlessly!
“Unfortunately, this is only the introductory fragment, not the complete version.”
