I Break through Crazily

Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Killing Monsters and Leveling Up

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing Six-Star Battle Disciple Tang Jiuzhe. You have obtained 300 Experience Value."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for activating a side quest: ’Send Tang Family’s Seventh Young Master, Tang Fangzhou, to Hell.’"

"Ding!"

"As a reward for activating a side quest for the first time, you have been awarded the Celestial Eye Technique."

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for the successful takedown. You have gained insight into the heart of a true expert and have obtained ’Three Thousand Flame Flames.’"

As the series of notifications rang out, Tang Yi felt like he was on cloud nine. ’This is so much more thrilling than playing an online game.’

’I absolutely love this Battle God System! With it, I can grind mobs, level up, and hit on beautiful women. The fun never ends!’

’I wonder what those two new skills are like.’

With a thought, Tang Yi opened the skill interface for the Celestial Eye Technique.

Celestial Eye Technique: A legendary Divine Technique possessed by the gods themselves. It can appraise anything and everything in existence, knowing all and perceiving all.

Effect: Can appraise any item and view the information of monsters or characters up to Level 30. (Upgradeable)

Looking at the skill interface, Tang Yi was ecstatic.

’Hahahaha, this is badass!’

’With this Skill, I’ll never have to worry about picking a fight with someone I can’t beat when I’m out robbing people!!’

’Pfft, pfft, pfft...’

’What am I saying, robbing? I mean... robbing the rich to help the poor...’

Next, he opened the skill interface for the Three Thousand Flame Flames.

Three Thousand Flame Flames: A purplish-black fire, forged among the stars, that feeds on starlight. Ancient records state that when the Three Thousand Flame Flames takes form, a silver fire rains from the heavens, turning a thousand li of land into a desert where day and night are one, and neither stars nor sun can be seen.

Passive Effect: The Player’s recovery Ability is increased by 100%.

Active Effect: An incredibly powerful flame that incinerates all creation. Even the slightest touch will burn a target to nothingness. It cannot be extinguished by ordinary water.

"Good, good, good!"

He couldn’t suppress his excitement after exclaiming three times. ’This Skill is the perfect Divine Artifact for getting rid of bodies and leaving no trace!’

The Three Thousand Flame Flames and the Celestial Eye Technique complemented each other perfectly.

’The Celestial Eye Technique can keep you from picking fights you can’t win, and the Three Thousand Flame Flames can get rid of the evidence. With these two Skills, I can really go and... rob the rich to feed the poor.’

On top of that, the Three Thousand Flame Flames also passively boosted Tang Yi’s recovery Ability.

’A one-hundred percent increase in recovery Ability?’

’Just imagine it: you’re fighting an enemy and get slashed. You’re bleeding everywhere.’

’But after a few moments, your opponent realizes the bleeding has stopped and the wound has already healed. How frustrating would that be for them?’

’Awesome!’

’Invincible!’

"Brother... Brother Tang Yi... you killed people."

Just as Tang Yi was basking in his own glory, Tang Lian’s quiet voice broke through.

"Uh..." Tang Yi’s arrogant expression vanished. He turned and spoke gently to Tang Lian. "Did I scare you, Lian’Er? You saw it yourself. They were the ones who started trouble with me. I didn’t mean to kill them."

As if afraid Tang Lian wouldn’t believe him, Tang Yi added quietly, "And besides, I had no idea they were that weak..."

"Pfft~" Tang Lian was amused by Tang Yi.

"I’m not that easily scared, and I’m not blaming you, Brother Tang Yi. After all, they came to bully you, so it was their fault. They deserved what they got. I’m just worried you’ll be punished for killing them."

’This girl... even now, the first thing she thinks about is my well-being. She’s just too adorable.’

"Don’t worry. Let me take care of this. No one will ever know," Tang Yi said, giving Tang Lian a gentle smile. With a flick of his wrist, a purplish-black flame appeared in his hand.

With a light toss, the purplish-black flame split into four wisps, each flying onto one of the four corpses, including Tang Jiuzhe’s.

’Using an Exotic Fire to burn corpses seems a bit like overkill, though.’

"Three Thousand Flame Flames!"

FWOOSH~!

There was a flash of firelight, and in the blink of an eye, the four bodies were incinerated into nothingness. Not even ash remained.

Having done all this, Tang Yi extended his hand and recalled the flame. Everything returned to tranquility.

"See? Problem solved," Tang Yi said, turning to Tang Lian with a proud little smile.

This display made Tang Lian’s eyes sparkle with wonder.

Looking at his proud smile, Tang Lian realized today’s Tang Yi was much more confident than she had ever seen him.

And...

’When did Brother Tang Yi become so strong?’

’Wasn’t he unable to cultivate?’

’He just severely injured a Six-Star Battle Disciple like Tang Jiuzhe with a single punch. His strength must be greater than Tang Jiuzhe’s, right?’

’It seems Brother Tang Yi isn’t a good-for-nothing after all; he must have been hiding his strength this whole time.’

’He’s the man I chose, after all.’

As she thought this, Tang Lian stole a glance at Tang Yi, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Tang Lian suddenly blush, Tang Yi wondered if he had accidentally upset her. Just as he was about to check, another notification chimed in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for gaining 5 favorability points with Tang Lian. Current favorability: 75. Tang Lian has secretly pledged her heart to you."

’My favorability with her went up again?’

Tang Yi paused, having received the notification.

Then he looked at the blushing Tang Lian and it all clicked.

’This girl... what silly things is she thinking about now?’

"It-it’s nothing. It’s getting late, and you must be tired, Brother Tang Yi. You should get some rest. I have to go back now." Noticing Tang Yi staring at her, Tang Lian lowered her head even further, hastily making an excuse.

"Mm," Tang Yi said, affectionately patting Tang Lian’s head. "Alright, Lian’Er, you head back first. I’ll see you tomorrow."

Tang Lian’s face grew even redder from his affectionate head-pat.

She quickly ducked her head, not daring to meet his gaze, and after pulling away from his hand, she scurried off.

After a few steps, Tang Lian paused but didn’t turn around. "I won’t tell anyone about what happened today, Lian’Er promises. But, Brother Tang Yi, you really worked hard to hide all this from me. I hope you’ll continue to grow even stronger. In the future... In the future, I’ll be counting on you to protect me..."

Before Tang Yi could even react to her words, the shy Tang Lian had already darted away, leaving behind only a faint, sweet fragrance that lingered in the air.

"That girl..." Tang Yi shook his head, a sweet feeling blooming in his heart.

’Killing monsters, leveling up, flirting with girls.’

’Life really is beautiful...’

’Yeah, I could get used to this new life.’

"Yi’Er?"

Not long after Tang Lian left, a deep and resonant voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was very familiar, belonging to someone Tang Yi saw often.

Tang Yi was startled. He hadn’t realized someone else was there. He quickly looked toward the source of the voice.

Just then, on a large tree outside the house, a branch shook, and a middle-aged man leaped down.

"Father?"

The man was dressed in a magnificent robe and carried himself with an imposing, powerful gait. There was an air of authority about him, and he bore a striking resemblance to Tang Yi.

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Tang Yi’s father, the Five-star Battle Grandmaster Tang Haotian!

Tang Haotian had a smile on his face as he stared at Tang Yi, his gaze so intent it seemed to See Through him. "Yi’Er, was that Lian’Er who just left?"

"Yes, it was Lian’Er. She came to bring me some medicine," Tang Yi replied with a nod. Though he was a transmigrator, he had absorbed the original’s memories and felt a genuine affection for this father he had inherited.

’I just don’t know how much of what just happened my newfound father saw.’

’If...’

Tang Yi prepared for the worst.

’Even though Tang Haotian is a Five-star Battle Grandmaster, I have the System, plus all sorts of trump cards and ultimate moves. If it came down to a desperate fight, winning isn’t impossible.’

However, Tang Yi was clearly worrying for nothing.

Tang Haotian seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that he had just killed people, and showed no intention of blaming him.

This allowed Tang Yi to breathe a sigh of relief.

’I’m a traditional person at heart. If I had to kill my own father as if he were just another monster, I don’t think I could do it. Thankfully, it didn’t come to that.’
