Chapter 58

"Congratulations, host, for completing the main quest: The Hero's Demeanor (Part 2). Your reward is the Purple Mist Divine Skill (rated 2.5 stars overall), 800 villain points, and two intermediate draws."

Su Xin's eyes sparkled as he looked at the secret manual in his hand. With this Purple Mist Divine Skill, his only weakness in strength would be filled.

Flipping open the Purple Mist Divine Skill, due to the system's 5% proficiency bonus, Su Xin immediately felt the true qi he had cultivated rapidly transforming into the true qi of the Purple Mist Divine Skill. Purple mist began to rise from his face, and the speed at which the true qi circulated in his body increased by more than ten times.

Internal skills' proficiency is much easier to accumulate than martial techniques. Daily meditation and cultivation naturally increase proficiency, and Su Xin's proficiency in the初级全真教内功 (初级全真教内功) had already reached 100%.

However, the true qi cultivated from 100% proficiency in the初级全真教内功 (初级全真教内功) was like a dwarf compared to the true qi cultivated from 5% proficiency in the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

If Su Xin were to use the Purple Mist Divine Skill to launch a full-power attack now, even without targeting Li Zhonghe's weak point, he could still break through the defense of his Golden Bell Shield.

The difference between a 2.5-star internal skill and a half-star internal skill is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Moreover, after reading the entire Purple Mist Divine Skill, Su Xin discovered a hidden attribute of the skill: it could neutralize foreign true qi.

The Purple Mist Divine Skill is indeed not of a very high level. Its 2.5-star overall rating is only considered average among the countless skills in the system.

In the original story, the Purple Mist Divine Skill is a minor presence, far inferior to powerful skills like the Manual of the Sunflower, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and the Nine Swords of Dugu.

However, the Purple Mist Divine Skill has one unique ability that other skills cannot match: its ability to neutralize foreign true qi.

In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," Linghu Chong was once troubled by foreign true qi in his body. Yue Buqun once said that if Linghu Chong learned a bit of the Purple Mist Divine Skill, he could neutralize the foreign true qi on his own.

Moreover, in the past, Yue Buqun once faced Zuo Lengchan's three Cold Ice Palms on Mount Song without changing his expression, demonstrating the Purple Mist Divine Skill's powerful ability to neutralize foreign true qi.

With the Big Villain System in hand, Su Xin was destined not to learn just one internal skill.

If he followed a normal development path, Su Xin could only choose one or a few internal skills with the same attributes for cultivation. If there were internal skills with opposite attributes, Su Xin would have to give up the weaker one and choose a stronger one.

But now, with the Purple Mist Divine Skill, its powerful ability to neutralize foreign true qi could act as a fusion agent in Su Xin's body, preventing conflicts between different types of true qi.

Just this one point makes the Purple Mist Divine Skill more useful to Su Xin than some 4-star skills.

"System, how many draw chances and villain points do I have now?"

"Host, you now have 3 intermediate draws, 24 basic draws, and 1000 villain points."

Su Xin originally planned to draw, but seeing that the basic draws were not a whole number, he decided to wait.

Currently, Su Xin has no external pressure. As long as his strength increases gradually, there's no need to rush the draws. He would wait six days to gather 30 basic draws and convert them all to intermediate draws before drawing together.

After all, it's all about luck. Six intermediate draws combined should yield some good things.

After exiting the system, Su Xin returned to his courtyard in Happy Forest.

Since he had been in seclusion and then engaged in a life-or-death battle with Li Zhonghe, he hadn't seen Xing'er for over ten days.

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard gate, Xing'er immediately rushed into his arms, her big eyes red and tears almost spilling. "Brother, where have you been for so many days? Don't leave Xing'er alone again, okay?"

Although Xing'er is young, she lost her mother at an early age, making her more mature than other children. From the faces of the gang members who took care of her, she sensed that something must have happened to her brother.

But she knew that her brother definitely didn't want her to disturb him at this time, so she endured it until now.

Rubbing Xing'er's head, Su Xin comforted her, "It's okay, Xing'er. Brother promises he won't leave you again."

Holding Xing'er and comforting her for a while, he made her smile. Su Xin then personally cooked a large amount of delicious food, watching Xing'er eat voraciously.

Actually, during this time, Huang Bingcheng had already arranged for the gang members to take care of Xing'er and order a lot of good dishes from the Happy Forest restaurant every day.

However, Xing'er, worried about Su Xin, found even the most tempting food tasteless and couldn't eat much. Now, seeing Su Xin return, she finally ate heartily.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Su Xin suddenly felt that he had somewhat neglected Xing'er's feelings.

He always wanted her to live safely but forgot that she was just a seven-year-old child.

He spent his days cultivating and handling gang affairs, which kept him busy, but Xing'er could only practice swordsmanship boringly every day, surrounded by gang members with no peers around. How could she not feel lonely?

After Xing'er finished eating, Su Xin said while tidying up the table, "Xing'er, I'll send you to a private school tomorrow."

"Why? I can study with the teacher at home. Why do I need to go to a private school?" Xing'er pouted, though she was smart, she disliked studying and writing the most.

Tapping Xing'er's little nose, Su Xin said, "If you stay at home, you'll become a little fool. At the private school, you'll have peers your age, and it will be much more interesting than staying at home."

Hearing about peers, Xing'er's eyes widened.

In the past, when she was in Changley Alley, there was no private school in that slum. She had only seen private school students passing by Changley Alley in groups, laughing and playing, wearing nice clothes and carrying schoolbags, which made her envious.

However, Xing'er's eyes dimmed again, and she said hesitantly, "But if I go to the private school, I won't see you for a long time, right?"

"Don't worry. I'll have you picked up every day and you won't stay at the private school. Besides, there's a break every five days, during which the private school doesn't have classes."

Hearing Su Xin's words, Xing'er's eyes widened with joy again.

After sending Xing'er away, Su Xin returned to his room to study the Purple Mist Divine Skill.

Although the proficiency of internal skills is not as important as that of martial techniques, it affects the efficiency of cultivation.

At 5% proficiency, the circulation of internal energy is still somewhat stiff, but at 100% proficiency, the internal energy flows continuously and smoothly, even circulating subconsciously during daily activities. The efficiency of cultivation is vastly different from the initial stage.

The next day, Su Xin arrived early at the Changley Alley branch. Sha Feiying did not break his promise and directly announced to the entire Flying Eagle Gang that Su Xin had been promoted to the head of the Transmission Hall, while Huang Bingcheng and Li Hua were promoted to major leaders.

This news shook the entire Flying Eagle Gang.

The other major leaders had their own thoughts but did not oppose it.

They had all seen Su Xin's strength in the life-or-death arena. What qualifications did they have to oppose it?

After the branch was established, Su Xin canceled all the odd titles like "head of ten" and "head of a hundred" and replaced them with "minor leader."

Since he now had a title, even if he appointed a hundred minor leaders, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The Transmission Hall, as a new branch, was not established at the main hall but next to the Changley Alley branch. Any gang member who wanted to learn skills could come here.

However, Su Xin would not personally teach these other gang members, nor would Li Hua.

The ones responsible for teaching them were the old hands like Li Qing.

Since they were already well-versed in the初级全真教内功 (初级全真教内功) and the残破版打狗棒法 (残破版打狗棒法), teaching others was not a problem.

His subordinates and ordinary gang members still needed to be treated differently. Even though they were all learning entry-level internal skills and martial techniques, the core group under Su Xin, personally taught by him and trained in combat by Li Hua, would definitely be much stronger than the quick-trained gang members.

However, even though it was just quick training, on the first day of the Transmission Hall's establishment, Su Xin's branch was almost overwhelmed by the flood of gang members.

Anyone who mixed in the martial world knew the importance of internal skills. The establishment of the Transmission Hall made these gang members ecstatic, dreaming of flying high after learning internal skills.

The other major leaders did not stop their subordinates from flocking to the Transmission Hall.

Su Xin was training their subordinates for free, so they didn't lose anything. Besides, even if they wanted to stop it, they couldn't.

Could they say, "I won't allow you to learn internal skills and become stronger, or you will threaten my position"? Anyone who said that would find their subordinates all gone the next day.

Su Xin did not manage the affairs of the Transmission Hall much. He only needed to come by twice a day to show his presence.

After the first day's frenzy, Li Qing and others numbered the gang members and had them take turns coming to the branch to learn internal skills and martial techniques, with about a thousand people each day.

This reduced their pressure significantly, and ten people could manage it, even taking turns.

When Su Xin entered the Transmission Hall, he saw a scene of gang members diligently studying. Li Qing and others were explaining the internal skill techniques, and the gang members were frantically taking notes, not daring to make a sound, even the most arrogant and violent ones.

Su Xin had planted a seed of ambition in his subordinates and given them a path to climb higher.

The same was true for the gang members present. Even if they didn't have great ambitions, they definitely didn't want to spend their entire lives as the lowest-ranking gang members, eventually being kicked out of the gang when they were too old to fight, living a miserable life.

In this world where strength is paramount, Su Xin's Transmission Hall gave them a glimmer of hope, a faint but real chance to climb higher!
