Level up is hard? I can Directly Purchase infinite Levels!-Chapter 59: Taking Stock of the Spoils — Supreme Transcendent Weapon Acquired!
A deathly silence filled the command tent.
Tom, Herbert, and the others stared wide-eyed at Raine, their gazes fixed on him as if he were some kind of apparition.
That casually spoken sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in their minds.
Even Vice-Captain Aaron, whose face was usually stern and unreadable, froze completely.
He had his suspicions, of course—but even he hadn’t dared to attribute such a terrifying result entirely to Raine with that level of certainty.
And yet Raine...
Had stated it so calmly?
Kyle and old Gore didn’t know the full details. All they felt was lingering fear as they complained in hindsight.
"You brat, you really do have a huge life!"
"This time, just to find you, even the captains were mobilized!"
Looking at the expressions on their faces—as if they had seen a ghost—Raine understood exactly why they were so shocked.
After all, for an Elite-rank cultivator to leap across two entire ranks and slaughter that many geniuses... it truly did sound unbelievable.
But this was precisely the possibility granted to him by the system!
And this was only the effect of temporarily boosting himself by two ranks...
If he had enough bloodstone, he could not only continue to advance permanently, but even temporarily raise himself by three ranks, four ranks—or more!
Moreover, several geniuses from the alien races had been present at the time.
Sooner or later, the truth would spread. Trying to hide it would only make him seem dishonest.
After a long while, Tom finally spoke again, carefully confirming:
"Those alien races... more than ten of them, including Bruce from the Thunderclan—were all taken down by you alone?"
Raine nodded, then added calmly,
"That lightning-wielding genius was far too careless. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have made it back alive."
Tom and the others exchanged glances but said nothing more.
"I’m going outside to get some air."
Tom turned and walked out of the tent.
Dennis and several others quickly followed.
Outside the tent—
"By the God of Light... he killed that many alien race geniuses all by himself?!"
Dennis’s voice lacked its usual composure.
"At least a two-rank gap... how did he do it?"
Even Tom felt his understanding of the world being violently shaken.
As a Grandmaster himself, even he would have been forced into a brutal battle against that Thunderclan prodigy—let alone facing so many powerful enemies at once.
Before this, although they had been shocked by the devastation of the battlefield, they had subconsciously assumed it was the result of Arlis’s final outburst, with Raine merely escaping by luck while escorting her.
Now that the truth was laid bare, the reality was utterly overturning their assumptions.
The impact was so intense that their first reaction wasn’t joy—but deep disbelief and awe.
They couldn’t even imagine what expression City Lord Garson would wear once he learned the truth.
Aaron offered Raine a few words of reassurance, then strode out of the tent.
Turning to Herbert, he said,
"Herbert, return to Iron Dragon Fortress at once. Report this intelligence to the City Lord at the fastest possible speed!"
Then Tom turned to Dennis.
"Dennis, take two elite squads and expand patrols around the outer perimeter of the high ground. Keep Crimson City under strict surveillance!"
"If there’s any abnormal movement, report immediately!"
"Once the alien races confirm what really happened deep in the mountains—especially the cause of Bruce’s death—they won’t let this go."
"Only Lord Garson can mobilize sufficient reinforcements, or even request support from further behind the lines."
A human prodigy born with peerless potential—and who had already demonstrated such terrifying combat power—was a target the alien races would stop at nothing to erase.
"I’m on it!"
Herbert instantly transformed into a streak of light, racing toward Iron Dragon Fortress.
"All personnel—enter the highest combat readiness immediately! Reinforce all defensive works!"
Tom’s booming voice echoed across the high ground.
Inside the command tent—
Raine sent Kyle and the others—who had been caring for him nonstop for several days—back to rest.
He himself also needed time to deal with internal injuries that hadn’t fully healed yet.
Though Kyle and the others were worried, they understood that Raine required seclusion to recover. After a few reminders, they left.
Silence returned to the tent.
Raine sat cross-legged, relying on the formidable regenerative power of his three-star Obsidian Golem Body to mend the last remnants of his internal injuries.
Then his thoughts shifted to the rewards from that brutal battle.
With a flick of his mind, a pile of storage rings of various styles appeared before him.
To ordinary soldiers, storage rings were precious spatial treasures.
But for the Elite offspring of the alien races, they were standard equipment.
Raine casually picked up one ring belonging to a Flame Demon Descendant genius and sent his spiritual sense inside.
The internal space was noticeably larger than his original ring, and the stockpiled resources were staggering.
There was a large pile of vitality potions used for rapidly restoring Nex.
Five bottles of mid-tier healing potions.
Three bottles of fortitude potions that could slightly raise one’s rank and solidify foundations.
Two bottles of Titan Strength Potions that enhanced physical power.
There was even a bottle with an exquisitely designed label—Soul Tonic, a precious high-grade potion capable of nourishing spiritual force.
In addition to potions, there were carefully preserved anomalous flora.
One plant, shaped like a fire dragon and crimson throughout, was sealed inside a crystal box. Red streams of light flowed along its body.
Just opening a tiny gap allowed dense medicinal fragrance and life energy to spill out, instantly refreshing Raine’s spirit.
He had never even heard of anomalous flora of this level before.
There were more than a dozen similarly sealed exotic plants. Though he didn’t recognize most of them, the fact that these geniuses had collected them meant they were certainly no ordinary items.
Beyond that, the ring contained numerous precious anomalous metals, rare ores, and various miscellaneous items of unknown purpose.
Most eye-catching of all was a battle spear that looked as if it had been forged from solidified magma, radiating scorching heat.
This was a genuine **supreme transcendent weapon**!
Its sharpness far surpassed that of the Blackglow Spear.
Moreover, the Blackglow Spear had previously been severed by the Thunder Prison Blade, its power greatly diminished.
Aside from this Molten Lance, the ring also held several finely crafted longswords and battle axes, roughly comparable in quality to the standard military weapon Ironstrike.
What interested Raine even more were three ancient leather scrolls.
Written in archaic script, they recorded combat techniques of the Flame Demon Descendants.
**Fireburst Ring**, **Meteorfall**, and the first half of **Molten Core**.
Raine had personally experienced the might of Fireburst Ring and Meteorfall—those Flame Demon geniuses had used these techniques to give him serious trouble.
If not for the formidable defenses of the Obsidian Golem Body, he would have died long ago.
He didn’t study them immediately and continued inspecting the other storage rings.
Thirteen rings in total.
The wealth contained within them brought Raine an immense surprise.
This life-or-death struggle hadn’t just been worth it—it had made him a fortune.
Just the various advancement and recovery potions numbered in the dozens, with even more healing potions.
High-grade enhancement potions like Titan Strength Potions were plentiful, and precious potions at the level of Soul Tonic totaled thirteen bottles!
As for anomalous flora, there were nine plants radiating powerful energy comparable to that crimson dragon-shaped specimen.
The most peculiar one came from the ring of a Blackwater Clan genius.
It was a pale-gold orchid-like plant bearing three strange buds.
The buds shimmered in three distinct colors, with faint currents of light and darkness flowing within. Its aura was even more profound and mysterious than that of Dragon Blood Grass.
