Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

Oh?

After reviewing the contents, Lu Chao thought about the technique Lei Wanjun had used before.

A single Thunder Pearl had shot through the air. If Master Luo hadn’t blocked it in time, it might have seriously injured him.

The power it unleashed was devastating, no less than a fully charged strike from a Mid-Level Martial Skill—perhaps even greater.

’Compress and infuse Martial Arts Power into a hidden weapon, continuously refine it with a Martial Arts Secret Skill to preserve its power, then drive it forward with a special force technique at a critical moment for a surprise explosive attack.’

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, roughly understanding the principle and its effect.

He was a little surprised.

He had to admit that Lei Wanjun was indeed quite talented.

According to Master Luo, under normal circumstances, Martial Arts Power couldn’t leave the body; at most, it could only cover one’s entire frame.

As for Martial Arts Flame, one needed to reach the second stage of the Superpower Level to make it leave the body, break through the air, and form a deadly shockwave.

In other words, his opponent had managed to master a partial technique from a higher realm ahead of time.

’I could try to practice it.’

Lu Chao thought of his Needle Throwing Skill, which was just one step away from the Perfection Level.

’If I combine it with this "dark pearl" technique, wrapping my Martial Arts Power around a hidden weapon, it would definitely increase my lethality. I could even use it after I reach the Superpower Level.’

’Besides, Master Luo also said he would have someone deliver the Thunder Pearl to me later.’

’When the time comes, I’ll need this method to activate it, using it as a way to contend with those at the Superpower Level.’

As the thought passed, Lu Chao glanced at the other Martial Skills.

The legacy of Thunder Fist was there as well, but its effect wasn’t much different from the Perfection Level Stacked Force Fist, though its relative strain was a bit lower.

As for the corresponding Thunder Extreme Fighting Skill...

He took a look and saw that it conflicted with his Golden Stone Fighting Skill; it was clear he couldn’t practice both at the same time.

However, his gaze sharpened as Lu Chao looked at the final Martial Skill.

[Thunder Extreme Secret Skill]

A special Mid-Level Martial Arts Secret Skill.

According to the explanation, it involved stimulating the acupoints throughout the body with Martial Arts Power or Qi Flame at a critical moment, resulting in a short-term explosive boost to one’s power, strength, speed, and more.

The Minor Achievement stage could boost combat power by thirty percent, while the Great Achievement stage offered a seventy-percent boost. In Lei Wanjun’s theoretical framework, if one reached the Perfection stage, it could even double one’s power.

’Its effect is almost comparable to an adrenaline rush?’

Lu Chao was slightly astonished, quickly recognizing the potential of this Martial Skill.

Although the later stages were incomplete and only theoretical—even Lei Wanjun himself had only reached Great Achievement, not Perfection—it was still not to be underestimated.

According to the description, the price for stimulating one’s acupoints was a subsequent period of qi and blood deficiency. Long-term use could easily destabilize one’s foundation and cause a drop in cultivation realm.

However, Lu Chao thought of his own [Tough Body] and its superhuman recovery ability, feeling that this technique was a perfect fit for him.

’If I could use this stacked with my Frenzy State, maybe I could defeat a first-stage Superpower Level expert in a one-on-one fight?’

Lu Chao mused to himself, a plan forming in his mind.

He then finished looking through all the Martial Skills in the storage device.

Only then did he realize just how enormous his gains were.

This haul was difficult to measure in money; it was enough to ensure he would have corresponding combat techniques even after reaching the Superpower Level.

He could even sell parts of the Thunder Extreme Fighting Skill’s manual on the black market in exchange for a considerable amount of resources.

’Perhaps Master Luo has already guessed it was me.’

The thought flashed through his mind as Lu Chao recalled the moment Master Luo had given him this item.

Subconsciously, he looked toward the desk at the envelope from Master Luo.

It was what Master Luo had left when he’d pretended to depart earlier. Zheng Wu had passed it on, but Lu Chao hadn’t really looked at it yet.

Now, upon opening it, he found three letters and two pale gold stone seal tokens inside the stiff cardboard packaging.

Somewhat surprised, Lu Chao opened the topmost letter and began to read.

Soon, his confusion dissipated as he understood Master Luo’s intentions.

Aside from the letter in his hand, which was for him, the other two letters and their corresponding tokens were for two people in Red Maple Shelter City.

One was for someone from the [Hunter Guild], suspected to be in the middle or upper echelons. If he wished, he could use the token to visit them, potentially gaining new sponsorship or resource channels.

The other was for a grandmaster at a martial arts hall in Red Maple Shelter City, a Superpower Level Martial Artist.

With the token, he could have that person repay an old favor by teaching him a Mid-Level Body Technique and intervening on his behalf once, as long as their life wasn’t at risk.

"Master..."

With a complicated expression, Lu Chao reflected on how considerate Master Luo had been.

He had made preparations for both cultivation resources and background support.

Only after more than ten seconds did his emotions gradually calm.

Then, he put away the tokens.

The light returned to Lu Chao’s eyes, his thoughts growing clearer.

Unconsciously, he realized he was no longer alone; he now carried the expectations and futures of many people.

Therefore, Lu Chao knew that only by growing stronger could he repay all of this.

"Time to train!"

He immediately assumed a fighting stance and entered a state of cultivation.

Several consecutive days of travel had already allowed him to fully recover his energy.

Right now, what he needed to do was master the basics of the Thunder Sound Skill and the other Martial Skills as quickly as possible.

...

For a week, Lu Chao became a recluse, rejecting invitations from Chen Xiao and the others to stroll around the Red Maple City Circle and pouring all his energy into cultivation.

Thanks to the comprehension boost from his [Flow State] talent and his foundation in the Fierce Roar Skill, he quickly mastered the Thunder Sound Skill, reaching the Minor Achievement Level in just a few days.

"HAH!"

"!!!"

BOOM!!

The air in the Cultivation Chamber exploded, and the floor and walls trembled slightly.

It was as if the heavenly might of thunder had descended with a cataclysmic roar, showing no mercy.

Furthermore...

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Lu Chao looked ahead and saw several specially made, explosion-proof glass bottles shatter from the sound waves, exploding on the spot. Even the solid iron man stake vibrated continuously, emitting a low hum.

The power of the Thunder Sound Skill was greater than he had imagined.

He had no doubt that even a peak Elite Level martial artist would struggle to stay conscious. Anyone below Elite Level would probably have their eardrums ruptured and pass out on the spot.

If he entered his Frenzy State, he could even daze a first-stage Superpower Level expert.

Besides that...

BOOM!!

A Fist Seal tore through the air. A grayish-white Martial Arts Power could be seen crackling and swirling around his right fist.

As the air hummed, his fist smashed into the Ironman Hard Stake.

THUD!!

A wave of air exploded outward as the metal man’s head shattered!

Shards of scrap iron flew in all directions, leaving several scratches on the Cultivation Chamber’s floor and walls.

"Oh?"

Lu Chao raised an eyebrow as he withdrew his fist, a little surprised.

He glanced down to see the grayish-white power on his arm swirling and flashing like silver light.

The power of the Thunder Fist was even better than he had anticipated.

In just a few days, building on his foundation in Stacked Force Fist, he had brought it to the Minor Achievement stage. Its power was no less than a Secondary Overlapping Force, but it required less time to charge and put less strain on his body.

Moreover, he had an idea.

’If I reach Great Achievement, could I merge it with Stacked Force Fist and turn Thunder Fist into a Quadruple Overlapping Force?’ he thought, the idea seeming more and more feasible the more he considered it.

This was the comprehension boost granted by his [Flow State] talent, allowing him to grasp a new direction for his training.

At that point, the Quadruple Overlapping Force Fist would become his own unique and powerful Martial Skill, and the explosive power boost would likely be even more terrifying.

With a plan in mind, Lu Chao nodded to himself, then dispersed his power and ended his cultivation session.

He was very satisfied with his training results for the week.

But as he looked around, he saw the walls and floor were covered in scratches. He had certainly caused a commotion in this Cultivation Chamber.

’This is just a basic Cultivation Chamber, after all. The space is limited, so it’s only suitable for simple training.’

’From now on, it would be better to go to the department’s dedicated training dojo.’

Taking a slight breath, Lu Chao made a decision.

Over the past few days of research, he had sorted out the various benefits and perks of being a Superpower Squad Captain.

A high salary of 60,000 yuan a month, one portion of Advanced Nutritional Resources, sixty kilograms of High-Level Exotic Beast Meat, a 30% discount on three purchases of advanced resources, and a passive accumulation of five hundred contribution points.

Additionally, there was a dedicated Martial Arts training chamber, the chance to audit three free Martial Arts classes from Superpower Level experts each month, and level-four access to the internal network. This allowed him to spend contribution points to exchange for one-on-one guidance from Superpower Level experts, as well as various Mid-Level Martial Skills, alchemical resources, or Superpower Knowledge.

The specific benefits were at least a third better than those of a Grand Captain in the Patrol Department, not much different from what Yang Wangtao had said.

As for the corresponding duties...

He would need to lead all the members of his squad, as well as three fully staffed field teams. His duties would include regularly protecting inspection specialists from Yao Capital or handling special affairs related to the God-Worshiping Church, Al-Qaeda, or various warlord factions.

Thinking of this, Lu Chao narrowed his eyes.

A week had passed.

’It should be about time for my appointment, right?’
