Chapter 492: Chapter 456 Custom Task

"The Longhua Association lost 73 people, captured 129,"

"The White Reaper lost 87 people, captured 17."

The next morning, Lin Yun and a group of high-level members from the Zhiqing Hall sat together for a debriefing.

The battle the previous night had ultimately seen Lin Yun outmaneuver the opposition, leading to a complete rout of both the Longhua Association and the White Reaper. The Zhiqing Hall pursued and killed for over an hour afterward, netting all the elite combatants from the Longhua Association and slaying a good number of the White Reaper’s people. However, they also sustained considerable casualties, with over half of their over one hundred elites either injured or killed—a pyrrhic victory.

But Lin Yun had no intention of stopping there and issued several orders in succession:

"First, issue a kill order for all the well-known leaders of the Longhua Association. All of them are to be wanted dead!"

"Second, take people to destroy the two strongholds the Longhua Association has in Meng City."

"Third, contact Porter and others, and tell them they can take action now. Shut down all of the Longhua Association’s industries in the Los Angeles area!"

Each command was another step towards forcing the Longhua Association down a path of destruction.

"Hall Master, what about the relationships supporting the Longhua Association from behind? Not sure if Porter and his group will take action," someone questioned.

Lin Yun scoffed coldly, "Now that Long Yu is already dead, the promises made before are naturally void. Until the Longhua Association elects a new chairman and establishes the new interest relations, those in the background won’t take action lightly. They will wait and see, to confirm whether or not the ship of the Longhua Association will sink."

"So now, Porter and the others can make their move with little resistance. If there is any, our people will negotiate. Threaten a few, take down a few, win a few over, and there’ll be no more trouble."

In just a few words, the fate of the Longhua Association was decided.

In the following month, without the need for Wu Li’s intervention, all remaining Elders of the Longhua Association died, and more than twenty minor leaders were killed. Most of their businesses were shut down, and a large number of members either left the Longhua Association voluntarily or were forced out.

On February 8, 2022, Wu Li, back at his home in Shudu, Hua Country, received a system message.

[Grandmaster-level mission: Elimination of a Threat (Longhua Association) completed]

[Reward obtained: Five Master Stars]

Since the Spring Festival was approaching, so after confirming he had nothing else to deal with, Wu Li returned to Hua Country to spend the New Year with his parents. Today, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Longhua Association task was officially completed.

Eager to get his hands on the five Master Stars, Wu Li immediately opened the redemption list for Grandmaster-level Ultimate Moves, ready to make an exchange.

Actually, during this month, he had been considering how to use the five Master Stars once obtained. He decided the first thing to exchange would be a Body Building Ultimate Move.

The effects of the Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Technique were good, but primarily aimed at healing internal injuries, so Wu Li wanted to exchange for another Ultimate Move that mainly enhanced physical constitution, lest his Body value become a hindrance.

[Expend three Master Stars to exchange for the Great Yan Five Elements Posture.]

This was the Body Building Ultimate Move that Wu Li had long decided upon. According to the system’s introduction, it strengthened the organs and body through the principle of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, from the inside out.

Wu Li’s very first self-created Ultimate Move was Heavenly Punishment, which consisted of both an offensive technique and a Training Method. The latter incorporated the principles of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, using the Five Elements Fist Power for Body Refinement. Therefore, by exchanging for the Great Yan Five Elements Posture, Wu Li hoped to discover whether there were any complementary aspects between this newly-acquired Ultimate Move and his own training method of Heavenly Punishment.

After the exchange, details of the Great Yan Five Elements Posture appeared in Wu Li’s mind.

Wu Li closed his eyes to assimilate the information. The Stance included not just a Training Method but also specific medicinal concoctions. An hour later, he stood up and began practicing stances in the room.

First, he practiced the entire sequence of the Great Yan Five Elements Posture, which took about an hour. Wu Li stopped, feeling pleasantly surprised. Even without using the associated medicinal concoctions, he was nearly certain that if he continued to practice this Stance, it could definitely improve his current Body value!

Moreover, Wu Li gathered many insights from it and believed that given time, combining his own Heavenly Punishment Training Method, he might create an even better stance. That would save the use of Master Stars in the future.

Having exchanged for the Body Refinement Ultimate Move, Wu Li was somewhat conflicted about what to choose next.

He currently possessed only offensive and vitality burst ultimate moves, lacking those in movement and defense.

Although Wu Li’s style was relentlessly aggressive and domineering, he couldn’t possibly always attack without defending. Moreover, at Wu Li’s current realm, anyone wishing to kill him in a one-on-one fight had to be prepared to pay a heavy price. By the same token, if Wu Li were to encounter an opponent on the same level as Long Yu in the future and his defensive ability was insufficient, even if he were stronger than his opponent, he could very well suffer serious injuries from the opponent’s dying counterattack.

Therefore, defensive ultimate moves were essential, and he had to prepare several to be sufficient.

But movement ultimate moves were equally important. If it weren’t for the lack of movement ultimate moves, which put him at a disadvantage in terms of movement techniques, he wouldn’t have had to push himself to such an extreme state. As long as he could catch up to Long Yu earlier, he would have won.

"Ah, too poor..." Wu Li lamented. He now had only two Master Stars left, and the cheapest ultimate moves for defense and movement both required two, so he could only choose one.

After much consideration, Wu Li finally chose to exchange for a movement ultimate move because a good movement technique could be used not only for pursuing but also for saving his life.

[Expending two Master Stars to exchange for "Roaming Dragon."]

Indeed, it was the ultimate move created by Long Yu himself, and it was also listed in the system. Wu Li exchanged for this movement technique.

Long Yu’s self-created Roaming Dragon was suited for long-distance charges and maintained considerable speed, whether running in straight lines or zigzagging through obstacles. Wu Li had witnessed its effectiveness that night, so he chose to exchange for it.

After exchanging for Roaming Dragon, the five Master Stars Wu Li had just acquired were spent.

"Should I initiate another Grandmaster Level task?" Wu Li hesitated because he had a lot on his plate next. One was to start a security company, and the other was to prepare for the ninth edition of Seeking Martial Arts, which had been delayed for a long time. If they didn’t start filming soon, Chen Gang would be driven mad by the leadership.

From his experience with the first Grandmaster Level task, such tasks seemed to have a time limit. Wu Li worried that he wouldn’t have time to complete it if he initiated it now.

"If only several things could be managed simultaneously," Wu Li frowned and pondered.

He then received a system message:

[The host may combine the remaining three opportunities to initiate Grandmaster Level tasks into one and initiate one customized task.]

"Huh?"

Wu Li was surprised. He checked the system’s explanation for customized tasks:

[Customized Task: According to the host’s current specific situation and psychological expectations, a Grandmaster Level task most suitable for the host will be customized.]

[Customization Requirements: Requires the expenditure of three opportunities to initiate Grandmaster Level tasks.]

"This..."

Wu Li was somewhat tempted but also reluctant to give up the three opportunities to initiate Grandmaster Level tasks. After all, the most certain way to obtain more opportunities to initiate Grandmaster Level tasks, for now, was to have the number of live viewers surpass one hundred million during a broadcast. But this was difficult to achieve in the short term, which meant that Wu Li might only have these three opportunities in the near future. If he used them all at once, he might not earn any Master Stars later on.

"Three Grandmaster Level tasks, that’s at least ten or more Master Stars. I could exchange for four or five ultimate moves. Can exchanging for a customized task bring me that much benefit?" Wu Li hesitated because the system did not specify the rewards for the customized task beforehand.

After contemplating, focusing on the words ’most suitable,’ Wu Li gritted his teeth and decided to do it!

"If the system says it’s ’most suitable,’ then it probably won’t let me suffer a loss..."

[Expending three opportunities to initiate Grandmaster Level tasks, initiating a customized task.]

[Customized Grandmaster Level task initiated.]
