My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 38 - 37: Pursuit

Liang Tiancheng was sent flying with ease. Everyone was stunned, completely clueless as to what had just happened. It was as if Liang Tiancheng had been possessed, unable to move from his spot and left at Yi Tianyun’s mercy. Since most of the onlookers were over a hundred meters away, they were naturally unaffected.

"Th-this is impossible..." Liang Tiancheng’s sternum had been shattered by the punch, and his entire chest had caved in. It looked like even if he wasn’t dead, he only had a few breaths left.

"Nothing is impossible. You’re just too weak!" Yi Tianyun raised his fist, his icy gaze devoid of any emotion.

Faced with Yi Tianyun’s descending fist, terror filled Liang Tiancheng’s eyes. He hastily shouted, "Sp-spare me! I-I’ll make the Divine Forging Sect drop the matter with you..."

"Trash!"

Yi Tianyun smashed his fist down hard. Liang Tiancheng, scared out of his wits, began to scream frantically.

"Quick, save me!" Liang Tiancheng yelled. But who around him could possibly come to his rescue? Their cultivation levels were all relatively low. The stewards were all dead, and the only ones left were some insignificant Body Refining Stage guards. Even if they wanted to help, they wouldn’t make it in time.

Luck Aura, activate!

THUD!

Yi Tianyun’s fist had already smashed down, blasting Liang Tiancheng to bits and killing him on the spot! So what if his opponent’s cultivation was two levels higher? Yi Tianyun could still fight above his rank. After all, cultivation level isn’t always the deciding factor. It’s a combination of various elements; having a weapon with a good effect, for example, is also crucial...

"Ding! Successfully killed Liang Tiancheng. Obtained 80,000 Experience Value, 5,000 taels of Gold, Power Bracelet, Power Ring, Martial Arts ’Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect’, Wind-Chasing Blade (Spiritual Artifact), and 700 Madness Value!"

"Ding! Quest ’Kill Liang Tiancheng’ completed. Reward: 30,000 Experience Value, ten thousand taels of Gold, a Power Belt, and a Fivefold Experience Card (One Hour)!"

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the sixth level of the Spirit Refining Stage!"

A crazy amount of loot dropped. The experience alone stacked up to a whopping 110,000, causing him to level up instantly. The thrill of leveling up was unprecedented. It proved that having items like Experience Pills was a huge advantage; once everything stacked, his Experience Value soared. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

’So much stuff, all from the Power System. What exactly is all this?’

He inspected the three items in his inventory. They were all accessories, equipment that could be worn on his person at all times.

Power Bracelet Effect: Increases user’s strength by twenty percent.

Power Ring Effect: Increases user’s strength by ten percent.

Power Belt Effect: Increases user’s strength by twenty percent!

’With the effects of all three stacked, my strength is increased by fifty percent! Doesn’t that mean my strength is boosted by another half?’ Yi Tianyun was stunned. ’This is great stuff! For example, if I could originally lift a thousand jin, with this three-piece set equipped, I’ll be able to lift fifteen hundred jin!’

Besides those, the martial art Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect also dropped. However, none of these items could be upgraded, including the Power Ring and the others. It seemed only items from the lottery draw could be upgraded; these were all fixed-tier items, not the growth-type.

Although the Wind-Chasing Blade couldn’t be upgraded, its effect was equally astonishing: when attacking, it had a chance to produce a lightning effect that would slow the opponent upon a successful hit.

Just as he was reveling in his pleasant surprise, he heard an uproar from the surrounding crowd. They were all shocked by what had happened to Liang Tiancheng. To think that the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Phoenix Tower would be killed by Yi Tianyun just like that. In a flash, he had cut down several people, causing rivers of blood to flow!

"Isn’t that Young Master Yi a little too incredible?" Zi Yuwei was dumbfounded. She had thought he would be subdued by Liang Tiancheng, but instead, Liang Tiancheng was the one who was easily killed.

The people from the Celestial Phoenix Tower were stunned. The people from the Rainy Day Tower were stunned. And the onlookers were stunned, too!

"Our Junior Brother is just too strong... Pavilion Master Liang’s cultivation was at least at the seventh level of the Spirit Refining Stage, and he just died like that?" An Ling and the others were shocked. ’I thought he was at the first level of the Spirit Refining Stage? How is this the first level?’

Actually, they weren’t wrong; that was his initial data. He was no longer at the first level of the Spirit Refining Stage, but the sixth!

"Young Master Yi, hurry and go! It’ll be too late if you don’t leave now! The Celestial Phoenix Tower and the Divine Forging Sect won’t let you off!" The first person to urge him to flee was, surprisingly, Zi Yuwei.

Yi Tianyun paused, then gave a faint smile. He quickly took off the Storage Ring from his hand and tossed it to An Ling, saying, "Senior Sisters, take this back with you... This is trouble of my own making, and I’ll bear the consequences myself! Go back and tell the Palace Master... not to worry about me! I’ll leave Jiu Lingyun and the others in your care. Please!"

With that said, he dashed toward the city gates. He knew he had only killed the Pavilion Master of a branch of the Celestial Phoenix Tower; the truly powerful experts were yet to come. The same was true for the Divine Forging Sect. Provoked by him, they would surely send many powerful experts to hunt him down!

Experts at the peak of the Spirit Refining Stage, or even Core Formation Stage elders, might be dispatched—it was all possible. With his current cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to withstand them at all. The fury of those two sects was not something that could be easily extinguished. If he returned, Shi Xueyun would undoubtedly choose to protect him, no matter the cost.

"Junior Brother!" An Ling and the others’ eyes were rimmed with red, but there was nothing they could do. They could only clutch the Storage Ring tightly and prepare to return and report to Shi Xueyun.

Just as they were about to leave, a terrifying aura rushed over from the distance, accompanied by a thunderous roar: "Boy, don’t you dare run!"

The one rushing over was an old man, and the cultivation he exuded was astonishing—the peak of the Spirit Refining Stage!

His killing intent soared to the heavens. Like a Demon God, he shot straight after Yi Tianyun, his speed so great that he instantly closed the distance between them.

"Th-that’s Steward Fu from the Divine Forging Sect!"

"I think Steward Fu of the Divine Forging Sect was stationed here in Celestial Wind City. For some reason, he didn’t follow the others earlier..."

"It’s over. He provoked the Divine Forging Sect. That kid is a dead man for sure. How is he going to escape this time?"

This was an expert at the peak of the Spirit Refining Stage, far stronger than the previous opponents. Just from his aura alone, it was clear that he outclassed Yi Tianyun by a massive margin.

’Junior Brother, run!’ An Ling and the others prayed desperately in their hearts. Their only hope was for Yi Tianyun to escape the fiend’s clutches!

Many believed Yi Tianyun couldn’t create another miracle. Before, the difference in cultivation might not have been that large, which was why he was able to deal with his opponents. But now, a Steward had appeared. What could he possibly use to fight back?

In the distance, Yi Tianyun felt the intense killing intent behind him. His eyes narrowed. He combined his Snow Wolf Battle Boots with his Celestial Cloud Step, pushing his speed to the absolute limit and transforming into a gust of wind as he shot out of the city.

Internally, his heart was as still as water, without the slightest ripple. He was completely composed.

Was he desperate? Of course not. Facing the formidable Steward Fu, his eyes were still filled with hope!
