535: diamond

Chen De possessed almost all the virtues of the human world.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Capital, looking at the bustling streets, he was instantly filled with the sentiment of “behind red gates, wine and meat go to waste, while on the road, bones of the frozen lie.”

All of this, in the end, needed him to change it!

Chen De arrived in the Imperial Capital before the wedding was held; after all, he was alone, while the Princess and her entourage were many. How could they compare to his speed?

When he saw the grand wedding procession moving through the streets in the crowd, he had no intention of joining in the fun.

Given the current situation, the Princess successfully getting married was the main priority for him.

To live, money is indispensable.

Especially in the Imperial Capital, a place with extremely high living expenses.

The money that could buy a large plot of land elsewhere would barely be enough to build an outhouse here.

Chen De also needed some money, as there were many places to spend it.

However, here, borrowing money from a bank was no longer an option. The key was to find kind-hearted people for donations.

After some wandering, he quickly found a target.

It was an ordinary Platinum Realm peak expert, who had clearly just returned from the grand wedding celebration.

He was accompanied by a motley crew of Silver and Gold ranks.

But Chen De's target was only one: this Platinum peak expert.

He followed him all the way home, and after confirming there would be no commotion, he revealed himself.

"Who's there?"

The Platinum peak expert was startled. Who had ambushed him without his knowledge?

Upon seeing a young man dressed in a gray long robe, his gaze fixed intently on the other party.

Chen De, seeing this, proactively stated his intentions and emphasized that he was not a bad person.

"Hand over all your family assets!"

"Oh, right..."

"I'm not a bad person!"

Chen De, confident that this combination of moves was sincere, looked at the Platinum peak expert with a self-assured gaze.

At this moment, the Platinum peak expert's mind was also a bit muddled.

You want all my family assets?

And you say you're not a bad person?

Had he encountered a lunatic, or was he being treated like an idiot?

Regarding such an unreasonable request, the Platinum peak expert's thought was... to stabilize him for now!

All demands are negotiable, all are discussable. There's no problem that cannot be resolved through communication.

With this in mind, the Platinum peak expert paused, "This matter is significant, we still need to discuss it..."

"Ah!"

Suddenly, he let out a scream, his mouth now gagged by something.

As for his height, it had inexplicably shortened significantly.

It turned out his legs had vanished, and blood gushed out, quickly forming a large pool beneath him.

Upon seeing this, Chen De felt a dizzying sway, his vision went black, and he almost lost control of his body, nearly collapsing to the ground.

There was nothing he could do; it all happened too suddenly.

Actually, he had a secret no one knew: Chen De had hemophobia.

Yes, no one would have thought that a person who had risen step by step from the Lower Plane would be afraid of blood.

All this time, Chen De had suppressed this feeling with his kindness, his morality, and his boundless love for all living beings.

However, today, the scene before him happened too suddenly; he had absolutely no psychological preparation.

Perhaps some schemers would think Chen De was behind it, merely feigning weakness and pity to gain sympathy and establish an image.

But Chen De was absolutely not such a person, nor would he ever have such thoughts.

As for those schemers, they were to be sent to the Holy Mother Sect's gallows and hung from lampposts.

He composed himself, propped up his body, and with great effort, took one step at a time to reach the Platinum peak expert.

He used all his skills on him, vowing to save him.

However, the other party's injuries were too severe, and he had lost too much blood.

On his deathbed, he stopped Chen De from continuing to rescue him and instead gave him a dying entrustment.

He bequeathed all his assets to Chen De, including some hidden assets under his command.

Finally, he told Chen De that he saw who had harmed him.

It turned out to be his own relatives in the mansion; they had collectively cut off his legs.

He hoped that after his death, if possible, Chen De would avenge him.

Without pondering why losing his legs would lead to death, or how so many people could cut off his legs, Chen De simply nodded heavily.

A man's promise is never made with shouting.

Watching the kind person completely die, he disposed of the body in the way that contributed most to the world.

This was a kind person; he would surely be happy with such a method and could rest in peace.

As for Chen De himself, after dealing with the body, he officially acted according to the kind person's last wishes.

Allowing good people to die is making the world weep.

And Chen De would not let go of any of those who made the world weep.

Stepping out of the empty mansion behind him, he headed towards another kind person's home for donations.

Donations to the Holy Mother Sect were always voluntary, without the slightest coercion or force.

Thus, he visited the homes of kind people one by one, calling on each one in the places he passed through.

On average, every three to five kind people helped Chen De advance one stage in his realm.

After visiting countless homes of kind people, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

His Sacred Beginning system had reached the Profound Realm Great Perfection, and his Magic Armor Master system had successfully broken through to Diamond.

His overall strength far surpassed that of a Diamond peak expert, but there was still some distance to a true King.

Once his Magic Armor Master system also reached Diamond peak, he should barely be comparable to a King-level expert.

Chen De then stopped overthinking and moved deeper into the Imperial Capital.

Platinum-level existences could no longer provide him with much cultivation, as his strength was already at Diamond peak.

To improve further at this stage, relying solely on Platinum-level experts would require a massive number for him to convert.

There were certainly enough in the entire Imperial Capital, but the efficiency was simply too low.

With Chen De's current strength, dealing with Diamond-level experts was no pressure at all.

It's just that the number of Diamond-level experts was relatively small, and losing a few might be quite noticeable.

So, in the middle of the night, he quietly snuck into the mansion of a Diamond Stage Two expert for the first time.

The mansion of such a figure was naturally heavily guarded, but to Chen De, it was like entering an uninhabited land.

Even if he walked right in front of the guards, they wouldn't see what Chen De was doing.

After entering the mansion openly, his target was directly the location of that Diamond Stage Two expert.

Don't ask how he determined it; there are plenty of ways to find out, like asking a few lucky audience members.

Soon, he arrived outside the house where the Diamond expert resided.

Chen De made no attempt to conceal his arrival.

Instead, he seized the opportunity, suddenly struck, and subdued the opponent with just one move.

At the same time, he discovered something, "This is..."
