Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Grade 5 Divine Technique! Elder Qing’s Admonition

A Divine Technique!

He hadn’t expected to obtain a Talent Divine Technique after the Golden Feathered Eagle died!

So-called Talent Divine Techniques were god-given abilities that possessed incredible power.

Some special Demon Beasts and Martial Artists had a chance of being born with one or more Divine Techniques!

And naturally, Divine Techniques also varied in strength.

The Divine Technique Su Bai had obtained was only Third Grade, but it was already quite good!

From what Su Bai understood, many current Martial Arts, including some from the Ancient Era, were deduced by Unparalleled Strong Persons who observed the changes in the world or studied various Divine Techniques.

And at the same tier, Divine Techniques were generally much stronger than Martial Arts!

At the same time, cultivating a Divine Technique to a profound Realm was also extremely difficult.

’Hmm? This Divine Technique is divided into nine layers? I can only cultivate this Divine Technique to its ultimate state by breaking through to the 9th Layer?’

’My current Divine Technique Level is only at the 1st Layer. It only boosts a portion of my speed, so the effect isn’t that great!’

Su Bai’s expression grew serious as he looked at the information for the Divine Technique he had just acquired.

[Divine Technique: Red Gold Speed! (Third Grade) 1st Layer (0/5000)]

Fortunately, he could use Experience Points to upgrade this Divine Technique!

A thought sparked in Su Bai’s mind.

He poured his accumulated Experience Points into the Divine Technique!

In a daze...

A faint, warm light gradually enveloped Su Bai’s body.

A gentle, warm current filled his chest.

He felt as if he had once again transformed into a giant golden eagle, soaring freely through the heavens!

Striking across the vast expanse!

As the warm light and current continuously nourished him, the Level of Su Bai’s Divine Technique began to rise slowly!

When Su Bai opened his eyes again, his Heart Spirit felt incredibly serene, and his mind was much clearer!

’The 2nd Layer provides a one-fold speed boost!’

’The 3rd Layer, a two-fold boost!’

’The 4th Layer, a four-fold boost!’

’The 5th Layer, an eight-fold boost!’

’The 6th Layer...’

Unfortunately, the Experience Points Su Bai had accumulated over the past few days were only enough to raise this Third-Grade Divine Technique to the 5th Layer!

As for raising it to the 6th Layer, that would require five hundred thousand Experience Points!

Su Bai didn’t have enough Experience Points now.

’Divine Techniques are truly extraordinary! But the amount of Experience Points needed to raise their Level is just too massive!’

Su Bai muttered to himself, looking at his depleted Experience Points.

And this was just a Third-Grade Divine Technique. For a higher Fourth or Fifth Grade... wouldn’t the required Experience Points start in the millions?

That was just too absurd!

But correspondingly, Divine Techniques were indeed far, far stronger than Martial Arts!

’My Divine Technique is currently at the 5th Layer, giving me an eight-fold speed boost!’

Su Bai gave it a little test.

He found that under the enhancement of the Third-Grade Divine Technique, Red Gold Speed, his speed had become extremely fast! He easily stirred up countless air currents around him, creating small sonic booms!

Clearly, his current speed had already surpassed the sound barrier!

Moreover, due to the cramped space indoors, Su Bai hadn’t even used his full power!

He estimated that if he pushed his speed to its absolute limit, it could probably soar to a thousand meters per second!

The power of a Divine Technique was terrifying!

Thankfully, he had cultivated that Fifth-Grade Body Cultivation Technique, the Golden Body Technique, to the stage of Returning to the Essence, making his Physique extremely strong!

Otherwise, at such a terrifying speed, his own body would probably disintegrate before he even killed the enemy!

’Huh? Why has the Divine Technique Tier of Red Gold Speed changed?’

As Su Bai looked, the Divine Technique Tier was no longer Third Grade!

It was Fifth Grade!

[Divine Technique: Red Gold Speed! (Fifth Grade) 5th Layer (0/500,000)]

’I never thought that using Experience Points to raise the Level of a Divine Technique could also raise its tier!’

This was incredible!

And a Fifth-Grade Divine Technique was indeed astonishingly powerful!

At Su Bai’s current top speed, not even a Grandmaster expert at the Innate Realm could possibly catch him!

Perhaps only an Unparalleled Strong Person who had surpassed the Innate Realm could exceed Su Bai’s current speed!

His ability to save his own life had naturally improved a great deal!

After testing it, Su Bai’s face lit up with a pleasant surprise.

With a Divine Technique like this, whether it was for killing enemies or running away...

It would be incredibly useful!

「The night passed without incident.」

The next morning, Su Bai got up early.

"Haha! Su the kid, morning!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Bai stepped out of his personal residence, he saw Elder Qing and Elder Yan already waiting for him outside, holding fine wine.

Elder Qing was the first to approach, tossing Su Bai a flask of wine before slinging an arm around his shoulders and leading him all the way to the lounge.

Elder Qing and Elder Yan knew that Su Bai had passed the Prison Suppression Bureau’s test and would be leaving the Red District soon. They naturally had to have a proper get-together.

The three of them drank fine wine and spoke their minds freely. Laughter and curses spilled from their lips and mingled with the aroma of wine, filling the entire hall!

When the drinking was at its peak, Elder Qing’s expression suddenly turned serious. He kept his arm around Su Bai’s shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Su the kid, even though you’ve entered the Prison Suppression Bureau and it seems like a glorious opportunity, you have to be careful. Keep your guard up, both internally and externally!"

Su Bai’s expression shifted slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

He then nodded gently.

"Haha! Come on, let’s keep drinking!"

Elder Qing reverted to his "crazy old man" persona, downing his wine and laughing heartily!

Although Elder Yan didn’t say much, his words also hinted that Su Bai should be wary of the internal situation within the Prison Suppression Bureau!

The two old men had lived in the prison for decades and naturally knew some of its secrets.

’Could it be... that the Prison Suppression Bureau is also full of scheming and infighting?’

’Or perhaps, there are some unknown dangers within the Prison Suppression Bureau?’

Su Bai didn’t ask further, merely pondering it to himself.

He made a mental note to be cautious.

「Noon arrived.」

Just as Su Bai finished lunch, Mu Feng, dressed in a red robe, arrived in the Red District.

"Su Bai, let’s go!"

Upon seeing Su Bai, Mu Feng’s face lit up with pleasure. He clapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Mu!"

Although he was now a member of the Prison Suppression Bureau, Su Bai chose to remain relatively low-key, speaking with a rather respectful tone.

Seeing Su Bai’s attitude, Mu Feng nodded to himself in approval.

’This kid is teachable!’

TAP... TAP...

The two walked along the return path, and after about half an hour,

Mu Feng led Su Bai back to the same grand hall they had been in before!

Inside the spacious hall,

Lord Chen, who had previously shown favor to Su Bai, was waiting for them with several other Martial Artists.

"Su Bai, you’ve done well!"

Chen Tianfeng’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Bai.

He had been kept informed of everything about Su Bai during this time.

This was truly a good seedling!

His talent and temperament were both top-notch!

Thus, his opinion of Su Bai grew even more favorable.

"I must thank you for your guidance, my lord. I still need to work hard!"

Su Bai said humbly, his face showing both respect and joy.

Chen Tianfeng nodded to himself and ordered someone to bring Su Bai’s new clothes and new saber!

A brand-new uniform for a Prison Suppression Bureau Martial Artist!

An excellent Treasure Saber forged from Deep Sea Sinking Iron!

These two gifts were extremely valuable!

"Thank you, my lord!"

Su Bai’s face beamed with delight as he bowed in thanks.

「After some formalities.」

Su Bai put on the uniform and equipped the saber, officially becoming a member of the Prison Suppression Bureau!

And when evening came, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Bai received his first mission!

’Hmm? Apprehend the Demon Sect’s Saint Child?’
