This meat, even if it was still raw, was more delicious than anything he had ever eaten!
Chapter 151 - Lucky Draw—Array!
At this time, in a desolate land in the western United States, a temple was badly damaged.
This place was once regarded as a miracle. Many archaeologists had investigated here, but they didn’t find anything interesting.
Later, when the spiritual energy recovered, few people came to this temple in the wilderness.
At this time, the temple suddenly burst out with a ball of golden light.
After the recovery of the spiritual essence, the area of this wilderness was expanded a lot.
The reason why no one found it when they came here was that a very strange array had been set here.
When warriors below the ninth grade came here, they would only see the dilapidated temple. They would not be able to discover the real scenery inside.
Ten figures walked out of the illusion.
That was right; this temple was one of the six holy lands.
The ten people who walked out were all descendants of the holy land. They were here to participate in the National Martial Arts Conference.
At this moment, in Atlantis, the surface of the water shook violently.
More than ten people stepped on the waves and walked out from the depths of the sea, landing heavily on the shore.
They also came from another Holy Land.
In the entire United States, there were four other places that had similar scenes.
The six Holy Lands had all appeared at this time, and the National Martial Arts Conference finals had officially begun.
Andrew lay on the sofa in the hotel.
He opened his system panel.
[Name]: Andrew Doyle
[Age]: 18 years old
[Identity]: Stanford University’s martial arts school sophomore student.
[Cultivation Realm]: Qi Formation Eighth Grade (+)
[Cultivation Technique]: Nine-layered Thunder Blade (Earth Immortal Level), Infinite Innate Skill (Heaven Immortal Level), Innate Five-elements Limitless Escape Technique (Heaven Immortal Level), Eye of Spirit (Heaven Immortal Level), Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique (Great Luo Golden Immortal level) Green Lotus Sword Scripture (Great Luo Golden Immortal level) (+)
[Magic Weapon]: Kunwu Blade (Supreme-grade Spirit Weapon), Dustless Sword (Immortal Artifact (fake))
[Strengthening Points]: 1,700,000 Points
[System Store]: Opened
[Lucky Draw]: 1000 strengthening points for one lucky draw
[Storage Space]: 5600 cubic meters (+)
He now had 1.7 million strengthening points.
But it was far from enough.
Andrew chose to use 1 million strengthening points to upgrade his Qi Formation cultivation from the eighth to the ninth level.
The remaining 700,000 was not enough to upgrade the ninth-level Thunder Blade.
As for directly upgrading his cultivation to the Golden Core realm, Andrew did not even think about it.
Upgrading from the eighth level to the ninth level required a whole one million strengthening points.
What about upgrading from the ninth level of Qi Formation to the Golden Core realm.
Andrew did not even dare to think about it.
According to his estimation, it would at least require five million strengthening points or even ten million strengthening points.
“It’s too far away.”
Andrew lay on the soft bed of the hotel.
What was the concept of ten million strengthening points? He needed to kill ten peak stage demon kings.
However, if their corpses were also included, it would be enough to kill seven or eight of them.
Seven or eight?
He gave a helpless smile.
Right now, the number of Ultimate demonic kings in the demon beast race was only a dozen or so.
Killing seven or eight monster kings meant reducing their numbers by half.
But soon Andrew thought of a good idea.
That was to kill ordinary high-grade monsters.
According to the agreement between humans and the monster race, Andrew’s strength had been classified to be Ultimate.
After all, he had killed two pinnacle monster kings in a short week!
Therefore, according to the contents of the agreement, he could no longer attack ordinary demon beasts.
But Andrew didn’t care so much.
As long as he wasn’t discovered, no one would know that he had killed a high-grade demon beast. Wouldn’t that be enough?
He just needed to continue improving his strength. When he reached the Golden Core stage, he would directly go to the arctic circle to look for the nine-headed demon snake.
At that time, he would chop the nine-headed demon snake to death with two slashes.
As long as he was strong enough, who would dare to say no?
No matter how Andrew thought about it, he found his idea reasonable.
“Ding! Congratulations Host for raising your cultivation from the eighth level of Qi Formation stage to the ninth level. You have consumed 1,000,000 strengthening points!”
Andrew felt that his understanding of the realm was becoming more and more perfect.
His strength had also increased quite a bit.
It could be said that if he were to face the Snow Leopard King now, the battle would definitely not be that difficult.
He would probably not even need to use his bare hands.
If he were to use the Thunder Blade to strike 30 to 40 times, the snow leopard king would probably not be able to withstand it.
If he were to use the Dustless Sword, the Snow Leopard King would only die even faster.
According to Andrew’s estimation, the monsters that were 3,000 meters away from the main road would probably not be his match.
After his strength increased, Andrew seemed to be a little inflated. He even wanted to compete with Clayton to determine the extent of his strength.
He still had 700,000 strengthening points left, which were not enough for the Thunder Blade.
Andrew looked troubled.
“Why don’t I draw a lottery?
“I’ll save 600,000 strengthening points and allocate 100,000 strengthening points for drawing the lottery.
“The lottery is 1,000 strengthening points once, 100,000 strengthening points is enough to draw a hundred times.”
Andrew did not believe that a hundred times of drawing a lottery could not produce something good.
“System, I want to do a hundred lottery draws!”
A lottery interface appeared in front of Andrew.
After a series of sounds, one lottery draw.
Andrew was speechless. This stupid system could only draw one lottery draw at a time.
A hundred lottery draws, Andrew drew for twenty minutes before it ended.
When the lottery draw ended, in front of him was a pile of messy things.
At the top were three ancient books.
But after separating them, the inside was completely blank, without a single word.
“Why aren’t there any words?”
Andrew was somewhat curious and used his spiritual power to investigate.
Sure enough, after his spiritual power entered, a large amount of information appeared in Andrew’s mind.
“It’s actually about arrays and formations.”
Andrew felt a pain in his balls.
He didn’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
Arrays were what he wanted to learn.
But there were a total of nine arrays. He obtained the first, sixth, and ninth of them.
Andrew sighed.
Among these books, the first one could be learned by him. It was a good thing. If he were given the last three books, he probably wouldn’t be able to understand them.
But very soon, Andrew found that he had overestimated himself.
Even when he opened the first book to read with his spir
itual power, Andrew found that the contents were all strange symbols. He could not understand a single word.
“What are these things!”
Andrew had a headache.
He could not understand a single one of these things.
The symbols inside looked like some messy little ants.
Was this really a book about formations?
Andrew felt like he had gone to school before, and he couldn’t understand the textbook.
Soon, he gave up.
This thing was simply not human.
He’d better study it later.
Chapter 152 - The Reward From the Lucky Draw!
However, on second thought, this was the first book on arrays, and even he couldn’t understand it.
Then he definitely wouldn’t be able to understand it in the future.
Andrew decided to turn to the system for help.
“System, help me upgrade my array talents and learn the first volume of this book.”
“Sorry, your strengthening points are insufficient.”
Andrew was stunned.
One had to know that he still had 600,000 strengthening points, but it was not enough to upgrade an array talent!
Even 600,000 was not enough!
Andrew was speechless. He felt that his strengthening points would be more and more insufficient in the future.
How about… robbing a bank?
Converting the money he robbed into achievement points?
But thinking about it carefully, a bank could only have a few tens of millions at most.
Not only was it illegal, but it was also very inefficient.
If he had the time, he might as well just rob Clayton.
If he thought about it, he could guess how rich Clayton was.
As one of the most powerful human beings, and also the chief of the United States Martial Arts Administration, it would be strange if he didn’t have money.
Thinking of this, Andrew felt a little excited.
In the future, he would find an opportunity to do it himself.
After putting the three books into his storage space, Andrew continued to read.
A talisman…
He sold the talisman to the system store. The price was 200 strengthening points.
“Demon Suppression Talisman?”
Andrew picked up the demon suppression talisman and rubbed his fingers against the talisman paper. He could feel the profound power contained within.
It seemed to have the ability to suppress demon beasts.
It could even directly crush weaker demonic beasts to death.
“Its power is slightly stronger than the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. Seventh-grade demonic beasts can be crushed to death. Eighth and ninth-grade demonic beasts will be restricted and injured.”
Andrew was already satisfied with this power.
This talisman was worth 200 strengthening points, which was two million.
If he sold it… countless warriors would swarm over to buy it.
It was not too much to sell it for 5 million.
Then every time Andrew sold a talisman, he would earn 3 million!
No matter how he thought about it, it was worth it.
Moreover, when the number of these talismans increased, once a battle between humans and beasts occurred, a large number of talismans would be thrown out, and a large number of beasts would die.
The power was still very terrifying.
He continued to look down.
There were five bottles of pills, and each bottle contained a great recovery pill.
After putting them away, Andrew’s gaze turned towards a small blade of grass beside him.
This blade of grass was somewhat withered and yellow, but it seemed to have a special magical effect.
The system quickly helped Andrew and marked out the information of this blade of grass.
“Sword Intent Grass was originally an ordinary grass, but it was affected by the sword intent of a strong person. Now, it has a special ability that can help people create powerful sword intent.”
This kind of grass appeared in the shop.
The selling price was 1,000 strengthening points for one blade of grass.
It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t expensive either.
This thing was actually very helpful to martial artists, but unfortunately, Andrew himself didn’t have any use for it.
Andrew sighed.
100,000 strengthening points, yet these items were drawn out.
It was not too bad, but other than the array, he could not use anything else.
After resting for a while, Andrew opened his notebook and logged into the warrior forum.
At this time, a post was at the top of the forum.
“Congratulations to the Martial Arts Administration Director, Clayton, for killing the Anaconda King, the Phoenix King, and the Snow Leopard King, strengthening the might of the human race!”
More than 100,000 people had replied to this post, and more than 60,000 had forwarded it.
It was a record for the year.
After all, this news was too shocking!
Once the humans signed the contract with the monster race, there was no more news of a monster king’s death.
But today, there was!
And three monster kings had died!
Looking at these comments, Andrew could feel the excitement in the hearts of all the warriors.
Indeed, this was good news.
At this time, Charles suddenly called.
As soon as he picked up, Charles asked anxiously, “Andrew, didn’t you kill that Anaconda King? Why did the forum say that it was Clayton who killed it?”
So, it turned out to be this matter.
“Isn’t it just an Anaconda King? It’s not a big deal. This credit goes to Clayton.
“I killed the Snow Leopard King too. Did you see me announcing it?”
Hearing that, Charles was dumbfounded.
“What did you say? You killed the Snow Leopard King too?”
Charles felt as if his worldview had collapsed.
What… happened to this world?
…
After the big battle the day before yesterday, Clayton made another trip to the Arctic Circle.
His goal was very simple—find trouble.
He found the place where the Nine-headed Demonic Snake was in seclusion and smashed his fist into the lake, stirring up waves that were hundreds of meters high.
“Human, what do you want?”
Nine huge heads emerged from the water.
“What happened two days ago is already in the past. Now, you actually dare to barge into my territory.”
“So what?”
Below Clayton’s feet was a ten-thousand-meter-long golden path. Standing on it, Clayton’s words were filled with dominance.
“Not only do I dare to barge in, do you believe that I can also kill your subordinates?”
Clayton smiled and looked at the nearby large green snake and the ant king.
“You dare!”
The Nine-headed Demon Snake was furious.
His body got out of the water. Together with the other two peak-stage demon beasts, they glared fiercely at Clayton.
The three of them were prepared to attack at any time.
Clayton smiled and immediately ran away.
He wasn’t afraid of these three beasts; it was just that he wasn’t here to fight.
The humans hadn’t decided on the final battle with the beasts.
After leaving the Arctic Circle, Clayton was thinking.
The nine-headed snake was in such a rush to train, it might be about to break through to the emperor level. When that time came… It would be troublesome.
“Maybe, I should give it a try and see if I can also achieve a breakthrough.”
However, it wasn’t easy for the Nine-headed Demon Snake to break through. The current Ultimate realm martial artists had all obtained the opportunity to achieve their dao.
As a result, trash like the Snow Leopard King had only reached the 800m dao path.
And the opportunity back then, the Snow Leopard King had probably used up all of it.
Clayton was no stranger to these things.
Back then, he had also obtained a great opportunity, which was why he had succeeded in attaining the dao.
What he had obtained was a ball of energy.
Within it, there was also some understanding of the great dao.
Every time Clayton thought of this, he would recall the great battle back then.
He could not imagine what kind of existence had fought back then.
The aftermath of those people’s battles came to Earth, mixed with some chaotic energy, and it allowed Earth to enter the era of spiritual energy recovery.
From this, one could see how terrifying those people were.
Clayton had never taken the monster race seriously.
He had always felt that as long as he continued to increase his strength, one day he would be able to wipe out the entire monster race.
But he had always been worried about the divine realm!
Chapter 153 - You Actually Stole My Food!
Clayton didn’t know much about the divine world.
But the people from the six great Holy Lands and the Heavenly God Sect should know a bit.
Clayton returned to the hotel. He planned to find a time to chat with the people from the six great Holy Lands.
He and Andrew were staying in the same hotel’s adjacent rooms.
When he returned, he coincidentally bumped into Andrew, who was about to go out.
“Isn’t this the director?” Andrew asked enthusiastically.
“I was planning to go out for a barbecue. Do you want to come?”
“No need.” Clayton shook his head.
He still had a lot of things to deal with, unlike Andrew, who was in a leisurely mood.
Just as he was about to enter the room, Clayton suddenly turned his head and stopped Andrew.
“There’s something I want to tell you. Your popularity among the monster race is very high now, so you must not be too ostentatious. You also have to be careful when hunting monsters in the wilderness. It’s best not to make a move.”
“Got it.”
Andrew replied and then took the elevator and left.
