Chapter 49
Life Essence Crystal, A Millennium of Condensation

When the speech ended.

Zhang Mo was called to the meeting room by Bai Cang Shan alone.

“Have a seat!”

Bai Cang Shan gestured for Zhang Mo to sit down, then sat opposite him. He pulled out a large amount of items from his drawer, saying:

“I believe you’ve already heard from Yang Jiu. Your accomplishments this time are enough to make you a Bronze-level Beast Hunter.”

“These things are what you deserve. Also, your new Hunter’s certificate is here. Be sure to keep it safe, it’s already bound to your personal information.”

Zhang Mo looked at the bank card, pills, and other things on the table, his eyes lighting up. He said:

“Shouldn’t there be martial arts? And a fourth-grade martial art, right?”

Bai Cang Shan smiled and said:

“The fourth-grade martial art is issued by the headquarters. It should arrive at your home in a few days. As for the second-grade martial art we agreed on, you can apply for it on your certificate.”

“Forget it. You can tell me directly, no need to have someone else run an errand.”

Zhang Mo nodded and said: “Then thanks, President.”

Having said that, Zhang Mo picked up his new certificate. He saw that his merit points had been credited. Naturally, he wanted to spend them, and immediately said:

“President, I want this third-grade Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong, and also a footwork skill…”

Hearing Zhang Mo’s string of requests, Bai Cang Shan was a bit stunned.

He really didn’t know how many merit points Zhang Mo had accumulated.

This kid, just how many beasts did he kill in this battle?

He quickly turned around, picked up the phone next to his desk, and made a call.

Then, Bai Cang Shan’s face turned serious, and he said:

“You can say you made a significant contribution to this extermination of the Zhou family. But you need to be careful about one thing. Zhou family’s young master was studying at a martial arts academy in a different province, so he might have received an early warning and is now missing.”

“A loose end, huh?” Zhang Mo frowned slightly.

Not being able to completely eliminate the threat was a problem.

However, things had already happened. He could only deal with it as it came.

While they were talking, someone had already brought several martial arts manuals to the office.

Zhang Mo collected all the things, saying: “President, I’ll leave now.”

“Go ahead!”

Bai Cang Shan waved his hand.

Then!

Zhang Mo turned and left the Beast Hunter Association, first going to a restaurant to eat a big meal.

Then he went home, washed off the blood on his body.

He changed into clean pajamas, then focused his attention on the martial arts manuals in his hand, his eyes burning with excitement.

This time, he exchanged for a total of four martial arts.

One of them was Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong. This technique naturally didn’t need any explanation, it was the key to Zhang Mo’s martial arts advancement.

Another was a second-grade martial art, Disguise Art, which he bought with his mission reward.

He had his eyes on higher level martial arts, but this technique for changing one’s appearance might come in handy in the future.

The last two were both third-grade martial arts.

One was a footwork skill, named Void Spirit Step.

This footwork was definitely not inferior to Leaving Shadow Step.

After reaching perfection, it would be ethereal and elegant.

The other was a palm technique, Demon Heart Palm.

This palm technique focused on killing, leaving no room for mercy when used.

This palm technique should have something in common with the palm techniques he already knew.

Zhang Mo flipped through the manuals, almost on the last page of each one, there was a line of blood-red writing.

【Those who leak this information shall be killed】

Even though there were only six words, they exuded an aura of extreme killing intent.

After memorizing all the manuals, Zhang Mo summoned the system panel.

【Remaining Stolen Lifespan: Three thousand one hundred years】

【One thousand years of lifespan can be condensed into a Lifespan Crystal】

“A new function?”

Zhang Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. As he focused his attention, a new explanation appeared.

【Lifespan Crystal: A combination of the scattered memories and power essences of those whose lifespan was stolen. When infused into martial arts, it can be used to practice with the help of those memories, making things twice as effective and causing unknown changes】

Seeing this, Zhang Mo’s eyes lit up.

The appearance of the Lifespan Crystal had solved a big problem for him.

As someone with mediocre talent, he really needed something like this.

“But it requires a thousand years of lifespan. That’s a bit greedy.”

After his initial joy, Zhang Mo couldn’t help but grin.

The thing was definitely good.

But it required too much lifespan.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Mo decided to learn the new martial arts first.

He summoned the system panel, first consumed a third-grade Breath Concentration Pill, and infused a large amount of lifespan into the Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong.

【In the first year, you consumed Breath Concentration Pill, increasing your cultivation efficiency by several times】

【In the second year, you swallowed a fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, deeply experiencing the power of the pill, your cultivation progress increased by leaps and bounds, successfully reaching the early stage of the third grade, Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong reached small completion】

【In the fiftieth year, you opened up thirty meridians, Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong reached great completion】

【In the one hundred and first year, your Pure Yang Wu Ji Gong reached perfection, your cultivation level reached peak of the third grade, the inner breath of thirty-three meridians was like a river converging, endless】

【Remaining Stolen Lifespan: Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years】

Zhang Mo slowly opened his eyes, feeling the inner breath within his body. He muttered to himself:

“The inner breath now is almost ten times stronger than before.”

“But even so, I can only use Heaven Star Sword Finger a few times.”

Now, he deeply understood the power of Heaven Star Sword Finger.

His inner breath far exceeded his peers, and even so, other third-grade martial artists were even worse.

“Next is Void Spirit Step!”

Zhang Mo calmed his mind and infused lifespan again.

【With a foundation built on Snow Trace Step and Nine Serpent Steps, your foundation is already extremely solid. In ten years, your Void Spirit Step reached small completion】

【After eighty years, your Void Spirit Step reached great completion. Your movements are ethereal and elegant, as if merging with yourself】

【After one hundred and thirty years, your every move is like a heavenly being, your light skill has reached perfection】

【In the one hundred and thirty-first year, you started studying Disguise Art. You were quite uncomfortable with changing your facial bones, and it took you nine years to reach small completion】

【In the one hundred and ninetieth year, your Disguise Art finally reached perfection, you can change your appearance at will】

【Remaining Stolen Lifespan: Two thousand eight hundred and nine years】

Looking at the remaining lifespan, a smile appeared on Zhang Mo’s lips.

This feeling of being rich, it’s really not bad.
