Chapter 89: Breakthrough to Transformation Stage, Preparing to Head to the Capital
“I’ll go back with you. I haven’t visited the capital yet.” Jiang Che said with a smile, not wanting to miss such an important event.
Zhou Lingxi nodded, delighted that Jiang Che was willing to accompany her. His status alone would be enough to make a statement to those in her family who always ridiculed her.
“After lunch, we’ll pack up and set off,” Jiang Che suggested. He hadn’t visited the Su family in the capital since starting university, so this trip was a good opportunity.
…
After lunch, Jiang Che called over Ah Long.
“Young master.” Ah Long greeted Jiang Che respectfully. Since his discharge from the hospital, he had been diligently cultivating under Jiang Che’s orders.
“Any progress in your cultivation recently?” Jiang Che asked curiously. With Xiao Fan already at the Peak of Innate, Ah Long’s Early Stage of Innate would hardly be enough.
“It’s still at the Early Stage of Innate.” Ah Long said, somewhat ashamed, bowing his head.
“Don’t feel guilty. Cultivation isn’t something that happens overnight. I’ll be away for a few days, so you’ll stay here to guard the house,” Jiang Che said, then waved Ah Long away and called his mother, Su Shanshan.
“Hello, son, what’s up?” Su Shanshan’s voice came from the other end of the line, sounding a bit puzzled.
“Mom, do we have any Transformation level servants in the Jiang family?” Jiang Che asked directly, without any dilly-dallying.
“There are a few at the Transformation level, but not many. What are you planning?”
“Really? I didn’t expect that.” Jiang Che was surprised; he had just asked casually without much hope.
“Indeed. What’s the matter?”
“I’m heading to the capital soon and have provoked a Innate Peak master. I need a Transformation warrior for protection.”
Jiang Che was straightforward with his mother, referring to Xiao Fan. He didn’t want to engage Xiao Fan himself out of sheer laziness.
“Why not just kill him?”
“He’s still useful to me. When he loses his value, I’ll deal with him myself.”
“I’ve arranged someone to come to you. They should be there within an hour. I’ve got to go now.”
“Wait!”
“What’s the matter?” Su Shanshan asked, sounding puzzled.
“I’m heading to the capital. Please inform Grandfather and the others.”
“Alright, I know.” Su Shanshan hung up without asking what Jiang Che was going to do in the capital. She had always spoiled him and was ready to take responsibility for whatever trouble he might cause.
“System, how many villain points do I need to upgrade from Innate Peak to Transformation?”
Jiang Che was curious. The upgrade from Peak Dark Energy to Innate Peak had cost 5000 points each time.
“To upgrade from Innate Peak to Peak Transformation, it costs 10,000 villain points per upgrade.”
“10,000?” Jiang Che was taken aback, having guessed correctly about the increased cost. “System, open the attribute panel.”
Host: Jiang Che
Identity: Jiang Family Young Master
Cultivation: Innate Peak
Villain Points: 11,000
Cultivation Methods:?Limitless Pure Yang??Mysterious Heavenly Scripture?
Items: Mysterious Treasure Box x1, Human Infant Burp Bag x100, Marrow Cleansing Pill x5, Good Luck Charm x3, Kitchen Knife x1,?Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?.
Skills: God-level Disguise Technique
“I only had 3,000 villain points left. How did it become 11,000?” Looking at the remaining 11,000 villain points, Jiang Che asked curiously.
“When the host agreed to act as Zhou Lingxi’s boyfriend, you altered the plot, earning 5,000 villain points. Last night, humiliating Xiao Fan and forcing him not to retaliate, you altered the plot again, earning 3,000 villain points. You just didn’t notice.”
Understanding the system’s explanation, Jiang Che found an open area and began his breakthrough.
“Ding, deducting 10,000 villain points… Upgrading?Mysterious Heavenly Scripture?.”
…
The breakthrough lasted about three hours. When Jiang Che opened his eyes again, it was already 5 pm.
“So this is the power of Transformation…” He marveled at the immense Qi within him, which was more than ten times stronger than before.
The distinction between Innate and Transformation was indeed significant. Only after breaking through to this realm could one rely on their abundant internal energy to achieve short-term flight.
A Transformation warrior could form a protective energy around their body, making them impervious to ordinary firearms.
Standing up, Jiang Che saw Zhou Lingxi and a small old man nearby – it was Fu Bo, the butler of the Jiang family.
“Fu Bo, what brings you here?” Jiang Che asked in surprise. He had always liked the old man, who had served the Jiang family for decades, witnessing the growth of three generations.
“I’m here under Madam’s orders to protect you.” Fu Bo said with a chuckle, stroking his goatee.
“You’re the Transformation expert mother mentioned?” Jiang Che looked at Fu Bo in surprise.
For so many years, he had not known the old man was a martial arts expert, well-hidden by his mother, Su Shanshan, to keep him protected.
“That’s right… However, compared to Young Master, I’m not much of a martial arts expert.” Fu Bo humbly stated.
He had spent his life barely reaching the late stage of Transformation, whereas Jiang Che had already broken through to Transformation at a much younger age.
“If Young Master Jiang continues to cultivate diligently, he might even reach the legendary realm of Shattering Void,” Fu Bo thought, smiling fondly. He had watched Jiang Che grow up and was as proud as a grandfather seeing his grandchild excel.
“I didn’t expect you to break through to Transformation…” Zhou Lingxi looked at Jiang Che with a hint of shock. She knew he had some level of cultivation, but she had assumed it was only up to the level of Light Energy.
But Jiang Che’s strength proved her wrong. She was increasingly unable to see through him, this man who was so good at disguising himself. This made Zhou Lingxi more curious about what other secrets Jiang Che might be hiding.
