55: Chapter 55 Above the Heavenly Ranks Lies the Saintly Rank
A large Family like the Chen Family, while powerful, is also the most ruthless.
Once you are labeled as trash, if you aren't purged from the Family, you should consider yourself lucky.
If you still expect the Family to help you make a comeback, sorry, but there are so many descendants in the Family more outstanding than you; why would I waste resources on a piece of trash like you?
If you want to return home in glory and make the Family feel that you still have utility value, you have to bring money.
Those fifty billion cannot be recovered for the time being, but he still has seventy billion at the farm.
Therefore, Chen Kun had to attack the farm town like a madman; anyway, if he couldn't get his money back, he was doomed regardless.
The sentry towers outside the town, during the fierce struggle between the two sides, had now all turned into ruins.
Fresh blood soaked the yellow sand, and the smell of blood drifting with the wind attracted a large number of Mutated Beasts to join the fray.
No wonder Yun Zhuo and Teacher Su didn't encounter a single Mutated Beast after running all the way; it turns out they had all run here.
The farm town had now become a meat grinder; anyone who came would be ground into meat paste.
Ling Lifeng could no longer hold out, and at the same time, he was even more baffled.
He had originally intended to use the defensive fortifications here to force Chen Kun to retreat in the face of difficulties, so how did it turn into forcing him to risk his life?
What gave him an even bigger headache was that if he sent people to rescue, sending too few would be useless, and sending too many would leave the Qi Family eyeing them covetously from behind.
If he didn't save them, he would lose over twenty thousand people, not to mention gaining nothing; and once Chen Kun turned back and defected to the Qi Family, the Ling Family would be squeezed out of Dawn City.
Just as he was struggling with this headache, the Qi Family suddenly sent troops to reinforce the farm town.
Because Yun Zhuo's Mother-in-law Ling Xiangjun had arrived, and not only had she come, but she had also brought along Yun Zhuo's sister-in-law Su Qingtang.
One is Qingtang and one is Qingyuan; one represents a flower/tree, the other a spirit bird.
Moreover, the average person simply cannot distinguish who is Qingtang and who is Qingyuan between the two of them.
Because they are twins.
The difference is that the older sister, Qingtang, had been gifted since childhood, awakened automatically at seventeen, had a War Princess talent of Heaven Rank High Grade, and six inlay slots.
According to the current existing data, this is already considered top-tier configuration.
As for the younger sister, Qingyuan, she had no talent since she was young, and at the Awakening ceremony at eighteen, she only awakened a mortal rank Medium Grade.
Placed in a top-tier influential Family like the Su Family, the Family members were too embarrassed to even mention it to others, fearing they would be laughed at.
But the Genius sister, Qingtang, was extremely good to her trash sister, Qingyuan.
When everyone in the Family, including their parents, felt that Su Qingyuan's only value was for a political marriage.
Only she did not give up, because she did not believe that since she and her sister were identical twins, and her own talent was so good, her sister's talent couldn't possibly be that bad.
Something must have gone wrong in between.
So she had been searching the world for a primal spirit stone, hoping to help her defy the heavens and change her fate.
Of course, Su Qingyuan did not know these things; she only knew that her sister was often not at home.
Now, by the Crescent Moon Lake.
After she and Yun Zhuo picked a clean stone house, she was making dinner for Yun Zhuo on the side.
In her bracelet, besides the change of clothes for herself and Yun Zhuo, there were these camping supplies, such as the cassette Corrosion Energy stove, pots, bowls, and ladles.
Besides that, she had also quietly brought a pack of contraceptive agents; ever since she improved to Heaven Rank Middle Grade, she had kept them in her bracelet for emergencies.
Yun Zhuo, the current System balance was as high as fifty billion, so the top priority was naturally to open slots for Teacher Su.
With the evaporation of two hundred million corrosion crystals, both of their talents were upgraded to Heaven Rank High Grade.
Teacher Su, who was making tomato and scrambled eggs with a frying pan, suddenly trembled violently.
She turned to look at Yun Zhuo: "Are we now at Heaven Rank High Grade?"
Yun Zhuo laughed: "Teacher Su, are you now very glad about how wise your choice was back then?"
Teacher Su glared at him: "Hmph~ so am I supposed to say thank you?"
"Who are we to each other now? For such a small matter, is there any need to say thank you?"
Teacher Su smiled slightly: "That's more like it. Dinner will be ready soon. By the way, what kind of drink do you want?"
"You even brought drinks?"
"I was afraid you might want one."
Yun Zhuo smiled slightly: "Teacher Su, what level do you think a talent better than Heaven Rank High Grade would be?"
"Better than Heaven Rank High Grade?" Teacher Su thought for a moment and said: "Is there any talent in this world better than Heaven Rank High Grade?"
"Perhaps there really is, I can't be one hundred percent sure."
Yun Zhuo changed the subject, his tone becoming a bit more certain: "But we aren't short on money now, why not give it a try."
"Are you serious?"
"Heh, other than tricking you into a kiss, is there any need for me to lie to you about such a small matter?"
"Hmph~ then hurry up and try."
As two billion corrosion crystals evaporated.
Two dazzling red rays of light suddenly burst forth from him and Su Qingyuan!
Illuminating the entire stone room in a bright red glow.
Looking from afar, one could see two crimson pillars of light suddenly shooting up from above the large stone mound, like two red-hot sharp swords, piercing straight through the night sky and plunging into the surging sea of clouds.
Even from tens of miles away, one could still see the tips of the swords piercing the clouds.
Fortunately, Yun Zhuo had hidden far away this time; if he had upgraded in the city, causing such a huge commotion, his good days would probably have come to an end.
Either he would be taken away to be studied as a lab rat.
Or he would have to face the recruitment of major forces; at that time, no matter who he agreed to, he would face endless assassinations from other forces.
Even if it were him, if such a fierce person could not be used by him, they would all be enemies, and if they were enemies, they did not deserve to live in this world.
Immediately after, the System notification sound rang in Yun Zhuo's mind.
【Ding! The eighth inlay slot has been successfully activated, War Princess talent upgraded to Saint Rank. Do you want to continue activating the ninth inlay slot?】
【Ding! Obtained Saint Rank talent reward — Forced Enslavement: Any War Princess whose talent is upgraded by the host will be forcibly bound by a one-way death pact.】
【Ding! Triggered first-kill reward — Monarchs Charm (automatically released when the host feels danger).】
【From this moment on, the host's charm will become a poison that destroys the psychological defenses of War Princesses; the closer the distance, the greater the toxicity. Note: Only effective against War Princesses whose talent Rank is lower than the host's.】
【Ding! For every War Princess upgraded to Saint Rank or above, the host has a chance to obtain a skill reward. If you want to get more, hurry up and upgrade your War Princesses.】
"Xiao Zhuo! It's Saint Rank! I saw it, it's Saint Rank! So there is actually a Saint Rank above Heaven Rank High Grade!"
Su Qingyuan was so excited that she dropped her spatula; the spatula fell into the pot, knocking over her tomato and scrambled eggs, but she didn't even bother to look.
She rushed to Yun Zhuo, grabbed his arm tightly, her voice full of uncontrollable trembling.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking." Yun Zhuo laughed and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her close, teasingly saying: "It's just a Saint Rank, look at how excited you are; your hands are shaking like a sieve."
"Hmph, how can I not be excited?" Teacher Su glared at him, but her eyes shone as if filled with starlight: "From today on, we are the first pair of Saint Rank War Spirit Master and War Princess in recorded history! The history of human Cultivation will be rewritten because of us starting from today!"
"I originally wanted to try if I could upgrade another Rank, but now that I see this, I think I'll forget it."
"Ah, why?"
"You still have the nerve to ask? A Saint Rank made you this excited; if you really broke through later and got so excited that you passed out, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?"
"Hateful, you only know how to bully me... wait, you mean it c-can still be upgraded further?" Teacher Su's eyes instantly widened, full of disbelief.
"Did you forget?" Yun Zhuo raised his hand to pinch her cheek and laughed: "You still have one hidden inlay slot that hasn't been activated."
"Oh right! It's the last hidden slot!"
"Are you ready?"
