Chapter 129: Chapter 113: Don’t Stand Behind Me, I Can’t Help Myself (Two in One)

"Crack, crack..."

The Gekkou Insect Instrument on the waist detached from the belt and was firmly gripped in Qin Shou’s hand.

The Insect Instrument trembled incessantly, struggling violently, the force it emitted shocking Qin Shou to his core.

Seeing the Insect Instrument about to break free from his grip, Qin Shou hurriedly flung it into the System Space.

After disengaging the transformation state, Brother Ma and the other two saw Qin Shou and immediately rejoiced.

"Brother Qin Shou, we’re here..."

Brother Ma and his two companions sprinted toward him.

Seeing the three, Qin Shou’s expression turned icy.

"You set me up earlier. Calling me brother now won’t save you. Just wait and see how I deal with you..."

"Haha, Brother Qin Shou, how did you like those ’fat sheep’ we gifted you? Fat enough, right?"

"Those guys were outright bandits. Running into Brother Qin Shou was their bad luck."

"That’s right, ever since Brother Qin Shou started out, he’s never lost, those fools never stood a chance."

"Exactly, back where we come from, just mentioning Brother Qin Shou’s name is enough to scare people to tears..."

The group reached Qin Shou and immediately started shamelessly flattering him, leaving Qin Shou momentarily baffled.

What’s going on here? Do they think buttering me up will make me let this slide?

No way!

But wait, what did they mean by that?

’Fat sheep’ gifted to me?

Damn...

What’s up with this guy’s warped logic, thinking I’d fall for anything thrown at me?

Almost got me killed!

Realizing this, Qin Shou’s forehead was now covered in dark lines.

"Ahem, not bad. Those gifts of ’fat sheep’ delivered right to my doorstep—how could I, Qin Shou, pass them up? Very thoughtful of you. Guess I’ll treat you guys to some food when we get back."

Admitting he was chased down? Not gonna happen. Otherwise, he’d lose face completely.

From now on, he had to maintain an air of high-class dignity!

Upon hearing that Qin Shou had indeed taken care of those fools, Brother Ma felt an intense surge of satisfaction for avenging his grudge.

The prey targeted by Qin Shou? Financial ruin was just the starting point.

At this moment, Da Zuo off to the side suddenly spoke up: "Brother Qin Shou, since you’ve handled those jerks, can we get back our Space Wristwatches..."

"Oh no."

Brother Ma panicked, quickly covering Da Zuo’s mouth while looking apologetically at Qin Shou.

"Haha, sorry Brother Qin Shou, this kid doesn’t know the rules. Please don’t take it to heart."

The Dragon Capturing Team’s mantra was all about inflow, no outflow. At this point, asking to retrieve their Space Wristwatches was a pipe dream.

If they annoyed Qin Shou even just a little, he might leave them with nothing but their underwear.

Forget about borrowing any Earth Core Energy Crystals!

You guys are still too naïve.

Brother Ma felt proud of his wisdom...

Qin Shou wasn’t bothered by his nonsensical babbling either.

What did he mean by "not knowing the rules"?

Rules didn’t apply here with me.

"Alright, you guys take care of your stuff first. I’m heading back, see you later."

With that, Qin Shou turned to leave.

"Wait, Brother Qin Shou..."

"What’s up?"

"Could you... perhaps lend us one Earth Core Energy Crystal? We promise to repay you tenfold when we get back."

Brother Ma pointed at the nearby Transmission Array, cautiously making his request.

Qin Shou waved his hand and smiled: "Come on, what’s this talk about lending? It’s nothing serious."

He took out three Earth Core Energy Crystals and handed them to the trio, who were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Brother Qin Shou..."

"Thank you so much..."

"Oh, don’t mention it. Now, if you could just sign this contract: tenfold payback, right? No one’s forcing you, I promise!"

Brother Ma: "..."

...

Inside the barrier.

A skinny teenager looked grim, staring at the team now missing one member, his mind racing.

"Boss, Lao Si is dead. We must avenge him."

"That’s right! Unless we rip that kid into a thousand pieces, my rage won’t subside."

"Boss, we should..."

"Enough, don’t start now. We’ve already lost some of our Beast Cultivation creatures and Mecha units. That brat’s whereabouts are unknown, so let’s shelve this for now.

The Giant Team just sent word, inviting us to track and kill a Horror Two Stars Tyrannosaurus. Sounds like the perfect chance for us to..."

...

Watching the trio vanish into the Transmission Array, Qin Shou returned to his dwelling, planning to lay low for half a month and focus on advancing to the Vajra Realm.

His current power was too weak. Getting chased around by a bunch of brats? A complete disgrace.

For the next half-month, Qin Shou stayed in the wooden cabin, carefully feeling the changes unfolding within his body.

On the night of the fourteenth day, a sudden wave of unprecedented comfort surged through Qin Shou’s limbs and bones.

A fizzing, tingling sensation...

Before Qin Shou could react, he collapsed, overwhelmed with a feeling too pleasant to endure...

Eyes rolled back, Qin Shou lay trembling on the wooden bed, his face involuntarily forming a strange grin.

After some time had passed, Qin Shou woke up feeling his Star Power had surged several times over, as if his body contained an endless reservoir of energy.

Vajra Realm!

Qin Shou chuckled. Though a human’s Vajra Realm was no match for a Horror-level Monster, it marked the first step away from a normal person’s physical limitations.

Star Power had conducted a preliminary transformation of his body, merging with his flesh and blood, enhancing his absorption rate of Earth Core Energy while increasing Star Power storage capacity.

At the same time, it amplified his overall physical attributes, strengthening his body’s resistance to damage.

If a Beast Ability Master reached the Vajra Realm, the potency of their Beast Power Genes could also be increased.

As for the Vajra Realm’s cultivation method, it was undeniably straightforward.

Simply provide a massive amount of Earth Core Energy, fueling the body with enough energy to transform into Star Power and accelerate the rate at which Star Power remodeled the physique.

During this process, due to differences in individual constitutions, the efficiency of Star Power conversion and remodeling speed varies person to person.

For those with poor aptitude, even with unlimited resources, breaking through to One Star might take a decade.

For those with exceptional aptitude, breaking through to One Star within half a year is no big deal.

Each round of physical enhancement marks the advancement of a Star Level.
