108: Chapter 108 One Hundred Million Deduction, Cultivation Technique: Stellar Transformation!

These ten days of desperate life-and-death struggle, though they had left him in a wretched state, had yielded immense rewards.

The number of Shadow Guards who had died by his hand was at least eighty, if not a hundred.

Adding in the few blind Yao Beasts he had killed along the way, his critical hit points had already accumulated to a truly terrifying astronomical figure!

One hundred and thirty million!

This huge sum was enough for his strength to undergo another earth-shaking transformation!

“System, stop sleeping, let's feast!”

Lin Feng issued a truly arrogant command in his heart.

“Upgrade the Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique for me!”

However, this time, the familiar upgrade notification he expected did not sound.

Instead, a cold, mechanical System prompt appeared.

[Ding! It has been detected that the host's current Cultivation Technique, the Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique, has reached Perfection. Limited by the grade of the technique itself, it cannot be directly raised to a higher Realm by consuming critical hit points.]

[Ding! It has been detected that the host's critical hit points accumulation has reached a Bottleneck. System upgrade conditions have been met. The new function [Cultivation Technique Deduction] has been unlocked!]

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then a terrifying light erupted from his eyes!

The System... had upgraded?!

[Cultivation Technique Deduction].

The host can consume critical hit points to deduce higher-level follow-up techniques from mastered Cultivation Techniques.

There are two methods of deduction:

[Brute-force Deduction]: Consume an astronomical number of critical hit points to forcefully deduce a follow-up technique from nothing.

[Fusion Deduction]: Collect techniques of the same or other types as 'nourishment' to significantly reduce the critical hit points required for deduction. The higher the grade and quantity of the 'nourishment' provided, the higher the success rate and the lower the consumption.

Looking at the new function description on the System panel, a storm of shock surged in Lin Feng's heart!

He finally understood how he should walk his future path!

“Fusion Deduction requires 'nourishment,' but I don't have time to look for it now. I can only...”

Spend big!

Isn't it just an astronomical figure?

Right now, he had nothing if not plenty of 'money'!

“System!” Lin Feng issued the most arrogant command of his life in his heart, “Perform a Brute-force Deduction for me! Using the Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique as a foundation, deduce a top-tier Martial Soul Realm Cultivation Technique for me!”

[Ding! Brute-force Deduction mode has been activated. This mode will create something from nothing and reverse the Laws. The deduction process will consume a massive amount of critical hit points. Confirm?]

“Confirm!”

[Ding! Performing Cultivation Technique Deduction... Target: Top-tier Martial Soul Realm technique... Analyzing the Laws of Heaven and Earth... Constructing technique framework... Filling in the supreme principles of Martial Dao...]

[Ding! Deduction successful! Total critical hit points consumed: One hundred million points!]

One hundred million!

A full hundred million critical hit points were instantly drained from his account like a flood bursting a dam!

Lin Feng only felt a 'buzz' in his head, as if it were about to be blown apart by an indescribable, vast, and boundless torrent of information!

At that moment, he seemed to witness the birth of the Universe and the destruction of the stars!

He saw the interweaving of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and the Reincarnation of all living beings!

Countless abstruse and mysterious principles of the Martial Dao, like a surging celestial river, poured frantically into his Sea of Consciousness, eventually condensing into a brand new yet ancient supreme method!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducing the top-tier Martial Soul Realm Cultivation Technique, Stellar Transformation!]

It’s done!

A sharp light shot from Lin Feng's eyes, and without a moment's pause, he issued another command.

“System! Dump all the remaining critical hit points into Stellar Transformation!”

[Ding! Consumed 31,700,000 critical hit points, Stellar Transformation critical hit successful!]

Rumble!!!!

A vast power of the stars, a hundred times more terrifying than any before and seemingly capable of completely overturning this world, erupted violently with Lin Feng at the center!

At this moment, the sky seemed to be wiped away by an invisible giant hand!

The dilapidated Mountain God Temple vanished instantly, replaced by endless darkness and billions of brilliant stars!

At this moment, the ground seemed to turn into a sea of stars!

Countless pillars of light, gathered from the purest stellar energy, fell from the sky, piercing through the Void Realm and pouring frantically into Lin Feng's body!

His cultivation Bottleneck, which had long since reached the Gathered Crown Realm, was as fragile as window paper before this unreasonable force!

“Break for me!!!”

Lin Feng let out a roar, and the three flowers atop his Dantian shattered with a bang, turning into the purest energy that surged upward directly toward his crown!

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the already vast and boundless ocean of spirit began to frantically evolve and sublimate under the infusion of endless starlight!

Finally, in the center of that sea of stars, an illusory 'Martial Dao Soul Embryo,' seemingly condensed from billions of stars, slowly took shape!

First Level of Martial Soul Realm!

It’s done!

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and two condensed, brilliant starbeams shot out from them, directly piercing two bottomless holes through a small hilltop ahead!

He could feel that the power within his body was more than a hundred times stronger than before!

The previously fatal injuries had long since fully healed as before under the washing of this new power!

With a thought, the terrifying 'Aura' belonging to a Martial Soul Realm expert instantly enveloped a radius of ten miles!

Under the shroud of this 'Aura,' he was the one and only god!

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Realm: First Level of Martial Soul Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: Stellar Transformation (Entry Level)]

[Martial Skills: Slash of Gods and Demons (Entry Level), Great Desolation Heaven-Imprisoning Finger (Entry Level), Six Paths of Reincarnation Palm (Entry Level)]

[Movement Technique: Within Reach of the Horizon (Entry Level)]

[critical hit multiplier: 3000x]

[critical hit points: 0]

Looking at the critical hit points that had been completely zeroed out, Lin Feng let out a long breath of turbid air.

“Back to being broke overnight...”

He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt his reborn strength as the curve of his lips became increasingly arrogant.

“However, this feeling of one-click max level and immediate Ascension is truly damn sweet.”

He picked up Huang Fugui, who was still asleep in his arms, and gazed coldly into the distance.

Continuing to stay in these Ten Thousand Beast Mountains was no different from waiting for death.

He needed a place, a place where he could quickly obtain 'nourishment' to deduce higher-level techniques.

A lawless land that even imperial power could not reach!

The City of Chaos!

That was a lawless city of sin on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It was a gathering place for outlaws and evil cultivators, as well as a black market trading center for various technique manuals and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Even more so, it was the best stage for him, Lin Feng, to begin a new round of 'hunting'!

“Fugui, let's change locations and continue grinding monsters.”

Lin Feng took out a most ordinary human skin mask without any distinguishing features from his Storage Pouch and slowly placed it on his face.

From this day forward, the world would no longer have 'King of Hell Lin'.

There would only be a mysterious passerby named 'Night Wind'.
