Chapter 112: Beat Them to Death, If They Die It's on Me!
Although obtaining divine skills once again brought Su Tu some surprise, what excited him more was the new feature the system displayed.
When he acquired the divine skill Eternal Life, the system notified him that he had killed the divine favor of the Xie Race, making him believe that such skills could only be acquired by killing divine favors in this way.
But now it seems not to be the case, according to the system's prompt just now.
Apparently, just by coming into contact with, devouring, and anything related to the divine, one can unlock divine skills.
Normally, the divine nature is elusive, and with Su Tu's current strength and realm, he has almost no qualification to contact their existence.
But...
"The Three Deceits Cult truly is my blessing," Su Tu said.
"Sending skill levels and skills my way again, how could I feel comfortable accepting this? Truly."
Su Tu muttered to himself in a warm voice, seeming genuinely a bit embarrassed.
"In order not to disappoint your kindness, I can only try my best to thoroughly eliminate you," he said.
He laughed lightly, his eyes sincere.
If one could not hear what Su Tu was saying, just looking at his expression, they would think this was a young man about to repay a kindness.
Emmmm, how is it not like repaying a kindness?
By personally granting them pain and then sending them to meet their three gods, Su Tu felt he was simply too kindhearted.
Su Tu glanced at the advance unlock conditions and knew that the wool of this fat sheep called the Three Deceits Cult would be plucked severely by him.
However, plucking the wool wouldn't happen overnight, so Su Tu wasn't in a hurry and suppressed his thoughts.
Su Tu planned to test the newly acquired skill.
"Plunder!"
He slowly extended his hand, and with a thought, dark red aura instantly appeared on his fist.
However, this skill derived from deceitful gods did not carry a chilly, mysterious, or ominous aura.
Instead, it bore a dominant and dignified aura of evil qi.
The dark red light and shadow clung to his hand like armor, faintly flickering with a severe and sinister gleam.
Su Tu raised his hand and punched into the air.
As the punch fell in an instant, the dark red light formed a terrifying mouth in the void, biting and devouring in the emptiness.
If at this moment there were an enemy in front of Su Tu, the terrifying blood-colored mouth would mercilessly tear at the enemy's body.
After throwing this punch, Su Tu's face went pale for a moment.
But very quickly, he returned to normal.
"As expected, just like with Eternal Life, using divine skills requires a price to be paid."
With the Plunder state applied, Su Tu's attack could seize all extraordinary power for his own use, but at the same time, with each attack, his own vitality would be consumed rapidly.
Simply put, Plunder is a skill that requires the consumption of life to perform.
If this skill stands alone, truth be told, it comes across as somewhat redundant.
It's like spending your own life to plunder others' qi, utilizing life to weaken the opponent's combat power.
For ordinary martial artists, this certainly seems a losing endeavor, where you might not plunder much of the opponent's qi, yet your own condition worsens rapidly, with vitality depleted, leaving you unable to fight.
But for Su Tu, this was not a worry at all.
The reason is simple: as long as he has enough qi, he won't be concerned about so-called consumption or injury issues.
These two divine skills are practically a natural combo skill.
One consumes vitality to plunder qi, while the other can use qi to heal all injuries.
Just as Su Tu said earlier, it's like a perpetual motion machine.
According to Su Tu's thoughts, in the future, if he gets injured, he won't need to go to a hospital; he can just go find someone and throw a few punches, and the injury will be healed.
After studying the skill for a little while,
Su Tu discovered that Plunder is not confined to a specific shape; it can attach to his body, weapon, or even become a dark red weapon. Different manifestations consume different amounts of vitality.
However, these consumptions can be almost negligible in the face of Eternal Life's recovery power.
"With this skill, I have one more trump card."
"New Star prodigies, Three Deceits Cult infiltrators, high tier techniques, this training camp really is chaotic."
His fingers gently tapped on the table, his eyes inexplicably carrying a hint of anticipation.
Some are born to sleep in warm houses, while others love to dance on the edge of knives. For Su Tu, all these various things are merely scenery by the roadside on his way to the apex.
He glanced down at the time.
Eleven fifty. Su Tu gathered his complicated thoughts, washed up, went to sleep, and dreamed of collecting dao!
When will I unlock the Health Care skill, though!
...
In the morning, the sunlight was just right, the breeze gentle, providing a rare coolness on the sweltering day.
Now, with the Martial Arts Dao in the North Sea beginning to take effect, an average of seven out of every hundred students chose the Martial Arts Dao, but among these, few could sense qi sensing.
Those new to Martial Arts Dao are bewildered, and opening acupoints is even more challenging. Most martial artists seen on the streets are New Star visitors or from local families.
Martial arts and martial artists are currently the hot topics discussed by everyone.
And today, the announcement of a significant piece of news exploded like a thunderbolt, sparking countless discussions.
On television, a uniformed host was eloquently talking about it.
"To support Blue Star Martial Arts Dao and accelerate people's progress in Martial Arts Dao, the Federation will initiate a Martial Arts Dao Training Camp where all residents can register with a martial artist certificate."
"Everyone who successfully registers will receive a composite nutritional potion gifted by the Federation."
"This training camp will have several high-tier martial artist mentors to assess and train the students."
