Chapter 5

The moment Zhou Yang entered the room, the system transmitted a stream of information into his mind.

"Name: Sun Wukong

Identity: Saiyan from the Dragon Ball universe."

"Name: Yue Buqun.

Identity: Leader of the Hua Shan Sect in the world of Smiling, Proud Wanderer."

Zhou Yang let out a light sigh and walked towards the two men, not worried that they would harm him. His rented apartment had already been bound by the system as the Multiverse Tower, and anyone who attacked him inside the tower would be immediately suppressed.

"Shop owner, do you have any more food?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhou Yang with an innocent expression, somehow having received a surge of information in his mind, instantly knowing this person's identity.

As for the reason, Sun Wukong didn't think too much about it; filling his stomach was more important than anything else.

Zhou Yang looked at the two empty boxes of instant noodles. He had bought them during a buy-one-get-one-free promotion at the supermarket, enough to last him two weeks, but they were now completely gone. However, thinking about Sun Wukong's bottomless stomach, two boxes indeed weren't enough.

"Alright, I'll let you eat your fill in a bit." Zhou Yang couldn't resist rubbing Sun Wukong's spiky hair, feeling a surge of excitement. This was his idol, and he couldn't let him eat instant noodles. He took out his phone and ordered a hundred KFC deluxe meals from a nearby store, spending a full five thousand Chinese yuan.

"I am Yue Buqun, greetings, shop owner." Yue Buqun, standing to the side, bowed and saluted Zhou Yang. He wasn't like the innocent young Sun Wukong; he knew that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person.

Zhou Yang looked at Yue Buqun with a complex expression. Was this the big villain from Smiling, Proud Wanderer? He looked like a well-read scholar.

While Zhou Yang was sizing up Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun was also carefully and secretly observing Zhou Yang.

Yue Buqun remembered that he was on the peak of Hua Shan, pondering the future of the Hua Shan Sect. After the dispute between the Sword and Qi factions, the sect had split, and with the invasion of the demonic cult, the sect's top experts had been almost entirely wiped out.

Once a powerful and dominant force, the Hua Shan Sect's reputation in the martial world had plummeted. They had lost the position of the Five Mountains Alliance leader during the last Five Mountains Gathering, and the entire sect was now reduced to just a few members.

Although he had spent over a decade building a reputation as the "Gentleman Swordsman" in the martial world, he still fell far short of the leader of the Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, was a master of the highest level of innate cultivation, possessing a freezing true qi that was extremely cold. Once struck, one's entire body would freeze, making it difficult to circulate true qi. Additionally, the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan, each a late-stage innate cultivator, made the Songshan Sect a powerhouse with a wealth of talent. The revival of the Hua Shan Sect seemed distant.

At that moment, a surge of information appeared in his mind, telling him that there was something in the Multiverse Tower that could help him rapidly increase his strength.

He thought it was just an illusion, but a moment later, he felt a dizziness and found himself in front of a room, where he could faintly see the words "Multiverse Tower." Pushing the door open, even with his composure, he was shocked and disbelieving.

A tailed youth was holding a box of food and pouring it into his mouth. Yes, pouring. The speed of his hands and the size of his mouth were such that, although he didn't know what he was eating, the amount of food that could last him three to four days was finished in a moment.

Although the tailed youth was strange, he was easy to talk to. Yue Buqun quickly understood that the youth was a martial artist who had been training alone in the mountains and was not from the same world as him, having been brought here unknowingly.

Composing himself, Zhou Yang smiled slightly and said, "I am Zhou Yang, greetings, Sect Leader Yue."

Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun hesitated and said, "Shop owner, I am willing to exchange all the martial arts manuals of the Hua Shan Sect for a pill that can increase one's strength or a high-level martial arts manual."

Even though the system had already told him that the Multiverse Tower would accept martial arts manuals, Yue Buqun was still worried that Zhou Yang might not value the Hua Shan Sect's manuals.

Several books appeared in his hands out of nowhere. Yue Buqun discovered that after coming here, anything that belonged to him could be used for trade, even if it wasn't on his person.

Zhou Yang, watching from the side, was drooling.

All the manuals of the Hua Shan Sect?

Although the manuals of the Hua Shan Sect weren't very advanced, any manual that could cultivate true qi was valuable.

Zhou Yang sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, he had nothing suitable to trade. Sun Wukong could eat a lot, but with Zhou Yang's financial resources, he could still keep him fed. As for pills that could increase strength or high-level martial arts manuals, he had never even seen them.

"Your food is here." Just as Zhou Yang was worrying, the delivery person had arrived. A hundred meals were a big order, and the KFC store naturally didn't dare to be negligent, sending two employees to deliver the food.

"Thank you, just leave the food outside the door." Zhou Yang called out, partly because his room had been bound to the Multiverse Tower, and partly because Sun Wukong and Yue Buqun's attire was too unusual, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"I smell the food." Before Zhou Yang could open the door, he felt a figure pass by him, and the next moment, the food outside the door had vanished.

"Finally, I have strength again!"

Zhou Yang, hearing this, turned his head in a daze and looked at the sofa. Sun Wukong's eyes were half-closed, looking satisfied.

Ten seconds? Or twenty seconds?

That's it, finished?

"I'm going to train now. Here's what you wanted."

A ball of blood floated out of Sun Wukong's body and flew towards Zhou Yang.

"Low-grade Saiyan blood, ten drops, each drop worth: 500 value points."

"Is this Saiyan blood?" Zhou Yang looked at the blood, which was shimmering with a crystalline light, in disbelief. A meal shouldn't be that expensive, but he was still delighted to collect the blood.

It wasn't that the meal was expensive, but that Sun Wukong didn't understand numbers. The cost of the meal was at most one percent of a drop, but Sun Wukong didn't know what one percent was, so he just gave a random amount.

"Yue Sect Leader, bring your manuals, and I'll check their value and give you something appropriate." The moment the trade was successful, the Saiyan blood was automatically refined and improved by the system, allowing it to be absorbed. Zhou Yang was naturally delighted and ready to make another deal.

The Saiyan blood was incredibly powerful, like an indestructible cockroach that grew stronger with each battle. One drop, though small, could enhance Yue Buqun's potential once.

Hearing this, Yue Buqun quickly handed over the manuals.

"Wait a moment, let me check."

Taking the manuals from Yue Buqun, Zhou Yang quickly used the system to assess their value.

"Violet Mist Divine Skill, advanced martial arts, a specialized internal cultivation technique for the Hua Shan Sect leader, worth: 200 value points."

"Deadly Three Immortal Swords, intermediate martial arts, one of the Hua Shan Sect's ultimate techniques, worth: 80 value points."

"Hua Shan Sword Technique, basic martial arts, a foundational technique of the Hua Shan Sect, worth: 10 value points."

"Primordial Energy Technique, intermediate martial arts, one of the Hua Shan Sect's ultimate techniques, worth: 100 value points."

...

"Thirteen martial arts manuals, totaling 643 value points, can be exchanged for one drop of low-grade Saiyan blood." Zhou Yang, seeing Yue Buqun's expectant face, didn't keep him in suspense and said directly.

"Saiyan blood?" Yue Buqun was puzzled.

"The Saiyans are a warrior race, born with a certain level of combat ability. Some newborns are already stronger than you. The youth earlier was a Saiyan, and he could easily defeat ten of you. One drop of Saiyan blood, though it will be diluted in your body, will still enhance your talent by one level."

Although Sun Wukong's bloodline was low-grade in the Dragon Ball universe, it was incredibly powerful in the martial arts world. The experts in Smiling, Proud Wanderer could leap over walls and lift heavy objects, while the experts in the Dragon Ball universe could destroy planets and the universe. They were on completely different levels.

The current Sun Wukong's bloodline potential was completely undeveloped; otherwise, 500 value points would barely let you see it.

"Enhance my talent by one level?" Yue Buqun was moved and amazed by Sun Wukong's potential.

"Shop owner, I agree." Yue Buqun's lips trembled, his eyes gleaming.

Zhou Yang pointed his finger, and a drop of Saiyan blood floated into Yue Buqun's body.

"Thank you, shop owner." Feeling the surge of power in his body, Yue Buqun said excitedly, eager to start training.

"Yue Sect Leader, remember to come back often. There are items here that can help innate cultivators break through to the innate realm." Watching Yue Buqun leave in a hurry after a few words, Zhou Yang's lips curled into a strange smile as he whispered.

Although Saiyan blood was strong, one drop would roughly bring Yue Buqun's strength to the same level as Zuo Lengchan. To go further would depend on his luck.

The words behind him sounded like a curse, making Yue Buqun's body feel as if it had been struck by lightning.
