Breakthrough?

Siting on his bed Li Chu looked over the 10 lower absorbable spirit stones scattered on in a pile at the end of the bed, then slowly shifting his gaze to the other rewards to redeem.

"Redeem martial soul rank's"

(Ding: host has successfully redeemed the Increase of the martial soul rank's 2+)

Li Chu smiled and watched as his small whale martial soul grew larger and more powerful as it's eyes started to turn a faint golden hue as it grew by two levels.

(Ding: Host has successfully improved his martial soul to the third Human realm)

Content with the results Li Chu decided to check and redeem the map which he was most excited by as the system didn't say what map it was for what. Not knowing what the end results could be Li Chu with anticipation excitedly shouted.

"Redeem map"

(Ding: Host has successfully redeemed treasure map)

Seeing the reward Li Chu was delighted as anything the system said was a treasure had to be of high quality and value, thinking of the money and artefacts he would get he decided to peek at the map.

Seeing the map Li Chu's heart sank as the map revealed it's location in another continent hundreds and thousands of miles from where he was, shaking his head he sat down and started to breakthrough.

As Li Chu cultivated his power increased threefold compared to before soon Li Chu started to reach the limit of the peak stage of the 9th body tempering Realm before eventually reaching the peak when.

(Ding: System has detected that host has reached the peak of body tempering would Host like to use Spiritual Stones to full awaken martial soul and breakthrough)

(Warning Costs 10 lower spiritual stones Y/N)

Without hesitation Li Chu clicked yes and felt his eyes roll back and fell asleep.

When he suddenly woke up it was two hours before the deadline and feeling his body and seeing it brimming with power and energy flowing throughout it he knew little Chu was safe when a message interrupted him.

(Ding: congratulations host has made a Breakthrough to the initial first stage of the QI Cultivation Realm)

(Ding: No reward will be given as it was the Hosts fault for being that weak in the first place)

Li Chu was not amused however unable to do anything and also being to lazy and tired after breaking through he collapsed on his bed and fell asleep while thinking that the system really did like to make him suffer and rip him off while having a strange affectation for peanut's.

Meanwhile..

BANG!

"what do you mean they failed to get her"

Seeing this the stuttering man started to panic.

"Bbboss I I.."

However he wasn't quick enough to notice the red bloody sword slice through his neck beheading him instantly, killing him before his corpse hit the floor.

As the battle scarred man on the wooden throne looked at the woman with the red sword If the second shaded man had been here then he would have recognised her as the damn obnoxious woman who had set him up.

She looked like a woman in her thirty's with long brown hair trailing down her back, but what made her stand out was her deranged personality as she licked the bloody sword clean.
