Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Infinite Firepower, Northern Dark Divine Skill

The elderly man continued to present the benefits:

“Additionally, our Xiaoyao Sect implements an achievement-based salary increase system.”

“For each ordinary achievement, the monthly salary increases by 1,000 yuan.”

Shu Fuyao:

“This seems pretty good. I’m already at 21,000 yuan a month. With more achievements, the salary will increase further.”

“For each excellent achievement, the monthly salary increases by 5,000 yuan.”

“For each outstanding achievement, the monthly salary increases by 50,000 yuan.”

“Wow, outstanding achievements are that valuable!”

Shu Fuyao couldn’t help but mutter.

“What about epic achievements?”

Li Chengfeng continued eating while asking more questions.

He was gradually becoming more interested.

With so many dungeons, accumulating several achievements could add up to a considerable salary.

Joining a sect and not having to do anything while earning that much money each month.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

The elderly man smiled:

“Epic achievements are not so easy to obtain. Among millions, it’s rare for anyone to achieve one.”

“So for each epic achievement, the monthly salary increases by 10 million yuan.”

Cough, cough!

Shu Fuyao choked, exclaiming in surprise:

“10 million?”

Ten million a month, that’s over a hundred million a year.

“Yes, it’s 10 million. But obtaining an epic achievement is no easy feat. In the hundreds of years of our sect’s history, only one person has ever achieved this honor.”

Li Chengfeng then asked:

“Above epic, is there an even higher achievement?”

The elderly man suddenly stopped smiling and looked serious:

“Above epic is the legendary achievement. Many talented heroes have spent their lives pursuing legendary achievements, becoming obsessed, but in the end, it was all in vain. To this day, no one in our Qin Kingdom has ever achieved a legendary achievement.”

Good stuff.

A legendary achievement is a good thing.

Li Chengfeng was intrigued.

Not by the Xiaoyao Sect.

But by the legendary achievement.

An achievement that no one in an entire country has ever obtained must be very valuable.

“You haven’t mentioned how much a legendary achievement is worth yet?”

The elderly man countered:

“Can a legend be measured by money?”

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to say. It’s just that the Xiaoyao Sect had never set a value for a legendary achievement.

After all, in the hundreds of years of the Xiaoyao Sect’s history, there had only been one epic achievement.

The 10 million yuan salary for an epic achievement was rarely used, let alone for a legendary one.

Li Chengfeng felt a bit disappointed.

The young girl mischievously rolled her bright, watery eyes:

“Big brother, a legendary achievement increases the monthly salary by 1 Yi yuan*. The money is here; it’s up to you if you have the ability to earn it.”

*possibly a currency here in this novel

What? Isn’t this a challenge? Just because of what you said, do you believe I can bankrupt your Xiaoyao Sect?

The elderly man turned his head to look at the young girl, puzzled.

His face was full of question marks.

Li Chengfeng could tell that it seemed like the young girl had made this up on the spot:

“Is there really such a rule?”

“The old man isn’t quite sure either; we would need to ask the sect master to know for certain.”

“Alright then. What is your Xiaoyao Sect’s status in the Qin Kingdom?”

“The top sect in the Qin Kingdom.”

Joining a sect wasn’t just about making money. More importantly, it was about learning the sect’s exclusive martial arts.

Li Chengfeng asked:

“What kind of martial arts does your sect have?”

“Our sect has a history of over 400 years, and we have all kinds of martial arts, including sword, spear, and halberd techniques.”

Li Chengfeng knew that when someone claimed to have everything, it often meant they were not particularly specialized in any one thing.

“What is the most famous one?”

“That would naturally be our sect’s ‘Northern Dark Divine Skill.’ This skill allows one to absorb others’ inner Qi and use it for oneself. If you run out of inner Qi during a battle, you can quickly replenish it by absorbing others’ inner Qi.”

Li Chengfeng was slightly taken aback.

He had, of course, heard of the famous Northern Dark Divine Skill.

“Does that mean if you practice the ‘Northern Dark Divine Skill,’ as long as there is Qi to absorb, you can achieve infinite firepower?”

The elderly man nodded: “That’s right!”

Li Chengfeng was astonished.

This divine skill was quite impressive. Once mastered, as long as there were people to absorb Qi from, one could achieve infinite firepower.

However, this seemed like a kind of demonic skill. It was likely to have side effects.

So he asked:

“What are the side effects of this skill? Please be honest with me, elder.”

There were introductions to the Northern Dark Divine Skill available online. The related negative effects could be found.

The elderly man then honestly replied:

“To be frank, this skill can only absorb Qi from those with the same primary attribute. For example, if I am fire attribute, I can only absorb Qi from fire attribute martial artists. Absorbing Qi from gold, wood, water, or earth attributes would cause significant harm to the body. Unless…”

Li Chengfeng followed up with his question:

“Unless what?”

“Unless the practitioner of this skill has no primary attribute themselves, then they can absorb freely with basically no side effects.”

Shu Fuyao looked at Li Chengfeng in surprise.

He had equal amounts of Qi in gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes, making him the person with the least primary attribute in the world.

In this case, the ‘Northern Dark Divine Skill’ was perfectly suited for Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng also realized this.

He couldn’t help but smile.

This meant that although he had no primary attribute and couldn’t practice attribute-specific martial arts…

But he could rely on the ‘Northern Dark Divine Skill’ to absorb, absorb, and absorb. Thus achieving infinite firepower.

Li Chengfeng was already interested in joining the Xiaoyao Sect.

Not for anything else, but to learn the ‘Northern Dark Divine Skill.’

Li Chengfeng stood up, wiped his mouth, and said:

“Alright, we’ll consider it when we get back. Thank you for the meal.”

He didn’t rush to make a decision.

Joining a sect was even more serious than choosing a university.

Filling out college applications took several days.

Choosing a sect naturally required a thorough understanding of what the sect was truly like.

The elderly man added the two to his contact list for further communication.
