n“Enemies are attacking!”

nA horrific cry rang out in the corridor.

n

n

nThey were followed by thumping footsteps.

nImmediately after that, the clerk who had registered Xu Xiaoshou and Mu Zixi at the counter rushed to the door with a broadsword in his hands.

nIn the next second, he was frozen.

nThe deep pit on the floor, the broken bathroom door, the big bed in four pieces…

n

n

nThe soundproof door with a protective barrier was pierced through.

nWhat a tragic combat it must have been.

nHe saw the blood on the elbow of the lad and then smelled a strange odor still lingering in the room.

nThe clerk lowered his head and saw the bloodstain on the door.

n

n

nGurgle!

nHe swallowed the saliva and spoke with difficulty. “Sir, are you alright?”

n“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

nXu Xiaoshou waved his hand casually. He was aware that this guy must have been thinking the wrong way. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have received so many Suspected messages in the Information Bar.

nYet, Xiao Sixteen had been dead a while ago. All this mess was caused by testing his own ability.

nOf course, he couldn’t tell anybody the truth.

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou showed a calm expression on his face while folding his arms behind his back.

n“It’s all over. Give me a new room.”

n“Okay.” The clerk nodded. “Sorry that you are frightened. Please come with me this way. We will clean up this room later.”

n“Mm.”

nXu Xiaoshou followed the clerk in silence.

nOn the other hand, the clerk was horrified, wondering what kind of a person the attacker was. Who could sneak into Plenty Gold Inn and cause such damage?

nThe barrier was set up from the outside to the inside, which was enough to resist the strike of a Throne-level swordsman.

nHow was it possible?

n

n

n“If you are really okay, can you keep quiet about the incident? We can let you and your friend stay here free of charge.”

nThe clerk spoke cautiously after he found that Xu Xiaoshou seemed able to be reasoned with.

nThe reputation of the inn was important. If the place couldn’t guarantee the safety of its guests, who would dare to come there and stay?

nIt was known that most of the guests there were those who were desperate and fled from their enemies, and they often encountered opponents who they couldn’t fight against.

nXu Xiaoshou had no intention to refute the proposal. He couldn’t publicize the incident because it was something he had done.

nBut free of charge…

nTo be honest, Xu Xiaoshou felt very sorry for what he had done.

n“It’s unnecessary to be free of charge. You can just give me another room. I have money.”

nThe clerk felt panicked when he heard that. Before he could say more, the next door was snapped open as they walked past it.

nMu Zixi stuck her head out. She came out when she saw Xu Xiaoshou.

nShe turned her head around and immediately frowned.

n“Xu Xiaoshou, did you do damage again?”

nXu Xiaoshou glared at her.

n

n

n‘Can you save some face for me because there is another person here?’

nThe clerk looked confused, wondering if the lad had done this himself.

nXu Xiaoshou hastened to push the little girl back into her room. He had no intention to go into her room. He closed the door behind him.

n“An eyesore.”

nAfter glancing at the clerk to his side, Xu Xiaoshou spoke with an affirmative voice, “Let’s go!”

nThe clerk was confused.

nSuspected, Passive Point, 1.

nCursed, Passive Point, 1.

n…

nAfter he arrived in a new room, Xu Xiaoshou laid down on the bed carefully.

nThe drawing was over, so it was most likely that no more explosions would happen.

nAlthough he had only drawn Toughness this time, his combat power had improved a great deal.

nOverall, Xu Xiaoshou was very satisfied with the result.

n“It was a wonderful experience!”

n“It’s a pity that the Awakening Pool was not used.”

nAccording to his original plan, he might be able to imitate Berserk Giant to obtain a killer skill.

nHowever, he only had 30,000 points left.

n“I don’t have enough points for drawing!”

nXu Xiaoshou checked and found that he still had a few complementary keys. He couldn’t help but feel delighted.

nHe inserted a key. Soon after, he was frustrated again.

nNothing happened…

nAs expected.

nIt was understandable.

nPassive Points: 32,020.

nThe points were enough for any Passive Technique to be upgraded by six levels. ‘I will take the exam for the magic pill technician badge tomorrow, so I’d better order the Cooking Expert.’

nYet, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t intend to take the exam for a higher level. The ninth-grade magic pill technician was enough to prove his identity.

nHe had tried in the Spirit Palace and found that he had no way to cultivate the seventh-grade Origin Court Pill with his current Innate Level 1 Cooking Expert.

nHe thought that he might be able to achieve it only by going up many levels.

nOn the other hand, his purpose was to pass the exam to get a badge. As a result, he could sell the stolen goods to Plenty Gold Company. A high-level badge was not more helpful for the purpose.

nThe most important thing…

nXu Xiaoshou looked at the Awakening Pool, feeling an itch in his heart.

nEven if the 30,000 points were wasted, he still wanted to play another hand.

nThis was a luxurious game that cost 10,000 points to just throw a stone. It excited him to think of the potential!

nWithout further hesitation, Xu Xiaoshou exchanged for an Awakening Stone. He bound it with the Recoil and threw it at the pool.

nBounce!

nBounce!

nBounce!

nUnfortunately, the 10,000 passive points were gone after the stone bounced three times on the surface of the water, making some slight water splashes.

n‘I’m feeling great!’

nXu Xiaoshou, who was already mentally prepared, didn’t feel any pain this time. On the contrary, he bet on the noble Awakening Pool while thinking that he would spend the money to make some splashes on the water.

n‘I’m feeling great!’

nAs he was about to exchange for two more stones, he was completely taken aback when he looked at the information bar.

nAwakening is successful!

nRecoil!

nXu Xiaoshou was shocked.

n‘Crap, I hit the target with one shot!’

nHe straightened his legs and stood up on the bed incredulously. He moved backward with his body hunched and his head covered with his hands as if his brain was going to explode.

n‘What a fortunate day this is!’

n‘The Awakening is successful with merely one trial!’

nXu Xiaoshou’s heart seemed to have stopped beating. He breathed heavily, trying to regain his composure.

nHowever, thinking about the effect of Berserk Giant, how could he possibly regain his composure?

n‘Exploding Posture?’

n‘What the hell are these Extended Passive Skills? They are all suppressed by garbage names like Strength and Recoil!”

n‘Once awakened, they are all getting fierce, and their names are even becoming rampant.’

nXu Xiaoshou suddenly beat his chest with his fist. Warm blood surged again, and his heart was finally beating wildly again.

nHowever, there was also an additional force inside his body that wanted to explode with it.

n‘This is…’

nXu Xiaoshou was startled. He remembered that he sensed the primitive surging power deep in his awareness when he was sealed by the grey mist figure and was on the brink of dying.

nThe force that was surging in his body at the moment was similar.

nUnlike the endless violence at that time, the power at the moment was nothing more than an explosive force.

nIt was as if it was uncontrollable and about to explode.

n‘The power of Awakening?’

nXu Xiaoshou’s head ached as he realized that it was the necessary condition to initiate the Awakening.

n‘Therefore, Exploding Posture won’t happen unless I’m on the brink of dying, but I have to decide if I’m going to initiate it each time I’m attacked.’

n‘Great!’

nThinking of this, Xu Xiaoshou could no longer suppress the excitement He let out a sigh of relief.

nBoom!

nWith a booming sound, the clothes on his body exploded. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoshou relied on his Agility to act swiftly enough to keep his underwear intact.

n‘Is this the cracking explosion?’

nThe endless golden light permeated his body. Xu Xiaoshou’s hair flew up, and his eyes let out a beam like a lightning bolt.

nIt was the posture of a godly fighter arriving.

nXu Xiaoshou was stunned by his own image in the bronze mirror, thinking that it was not the former Xu Xiaoshou but an improved version of himself.

nThe waves of golden energy continuously surged in his body. Xu Xiaoshou could no longer hold back.

nHe looked toward the wooden door.

n
