Pig Slaughtering Knife and Buddha Sutra

After Zhao Hao found out the location of the Wild Boar Spirit, the next step for him was to find a way to kill it and, if possible, a way to hide his physique.

Zhao Hao lay on his bed and began to organize his thoughts. As of now, it was obviously very difficult to defeat the Wild Boar Spirit in a short time.

Even at the peak of his strength, he still could not defeat the Wild Boar Spirit when he had challenged it. So, he had to think of another way.

"Eh?" Zhao Hao's eyes instantly lit up. He had an extraordinary physique, and indeed, he could focus on his cultivation for a longer time. The System had mentioned a one-month limit for him to walk out of the village, so he could cultivate until the 29th day and try to kill the Wild Boar Spirit when his strength reached its peak.

He wanted to try once he got the idea. When the cooldown time of the simulator ended, Zhao Hao decisively turned on the simulator.

"System, activate the Cultivation Simulator."

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: "Flood Dragon Bloodline", "Earth Spiritual Roots", "Butcher's Successor", "Water Control Master" …]

[Mahayana Holy Body (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. This is a unique physique that is rarely seen in a million years. It is the strongest sacred body in the martial arts world. Your aptitude to practice all kinds of Cultivation Methods is the world's highest. Your attack power is twice the original attack power.]

[Born Arhat (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. You were born an Arhat, a candidate for a Buddha. You can comprehend Buddhist divine skills on your own and cultivate all kinds of Buddhist Cultivation Methods.]

[Flood Dragon Bloodline (Orange Talent): All attributes increase by 50. You have a trace of Flood Dragon bloodline in your body. The impact of the damage you cause to wild beasts and demons increases by 50%.]

[Earth Spiritual Roots (Purple Talent): Your comprehension ability increases by 30. You also have a higher speed of absorbing spiritual energy.]

[Butcher's Successor (Orange Talent): Your killing intent increases by 50. Your family has passed down a martial art, the "Pig Butchering Knife Skills". The impact of the damage you cause to domesticated animals turned wild beasts and demons increases by 200%.]

Zhao Hao felt as if the System had given him a cheat. It was as if the System knew what he was thinking and directly gave him a super-powerful method to deal with the current situation.

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang and found an untitled sword-fighting manual. After that, you snuck into the residence of the village head and found a manual on the "Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill". Then, you took out the manual on the martial arts that only your family had, the "Pig Butchering Knife Skills". You started practicing the skills in all the three secret manuals at the same time.]

[On the second day, you picked up all the skills in the three secret manuals very quickly, thanks to your extraordinary physique.]

[On the third day, you continued practicing the three skills.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit attacked the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword. You did not think that the Iron-Slashing Sword was a suitable weapon for the Pig Butchering Knife Skills. So, you found Blacksmith Wang in the east of the village and asked him to help you forge a Pig Slaughtering Knife with the Iron-Slashing Sword.]

…

[On the 13th day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", the sword-fighting technique you had learned automatically evolved into the "Arhat Demon Subjugation Sword-Fighting Technique". Your Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it automatically evolved into the "Skills of the God Acala".]

[On the 14th day, you began to focus on learning the Pig Butchering Knife Skills. When you mastered it with great success, a trace of spiritual energy appeared in your body. You hurriedly opened the Cultivation Encyclopedia you had obtained from under the heated brick bed of Widow Zhang. Based on the information inside, you knew that you had entered the first stage of cultivation—the Qi Cultivation stage.]

…

[On the 18th day, you did not know why you gained spiritual energy by learning the Pig Butchering Knife Skills, but you continued to study it diligently. Finally, with the enhancement of many talents, your Pig Butchering Knife Skills reached perfection. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", a secret manual "Buddha Sutra" appeared in your mind. You successfully started your path of cultivation.]

[On the 19th day, you learned your lesson from before and began to cultivate in peace. Your Cultivation Base increased rapidly."

…

[On the 25th day, with your strong cultivation talents, you cultivated all the way to the Foundation Establishment stage. Blacksmith Wang also completed forging the Pig Slaughtering Knife. You did not think it was the time yet, so you planned to cultivate until the last possible moment.]

…

[On the 28th day, you reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. In order to test your strength, you charged into the mountain. Within a day, you killed all the evil ghosts and the dismembered body parts of the male corpse and destroyed all the Evil God temples.]

[On the 29th day, there were no more evil ghosts surrounding the village today. You rested in the village for the entire day and kept your eyes fixed on the top of the mountain far away.]

[On the 30th day, the sky was covered with dark clouds. You already sensed that there would be heavenly thunder if you still did not leave the village. You immediately took out your Pig Slaughtering Knife and flew on it, heading straight to the top of the mountain. When you arrived in front of the statue of the Oink God, you held the Pig Slaughtering Knife in your hand, and killing intent emanated from all over your body. With a single slash, you shattered the statue of the Oink God. As a painful roar came out, a huge Wild Boar Spirit appeared like before and charged straight at you. You triggered the Buddha Sutra and fought with the Wild Boar Spirit. You killed it effortlessly and obtained the Breath Concealing Technique.

[On the 31st day, you practiced the Breath Concealing Technique at the top of the mountain. With your exceptional talents, you soon mastered it with great success. With your Cultivation Talent "Born Arhat", it evolved into the Heaven Shrouding Technique. Just as you were getting ready to leave the mountain to explore the Cultivation World, a golden eagle flew over from a distant horizon. A cultivator was standing on it. The golden eagle cracked your Skills of the God Acala with a swing of its claw. The cultivator asked if you had killed his pet. You stayed silent as you had no explanation for it. You chose to use a sneak attack on the cultivator and slashed at him. Your attack was blocked effortlessly, and you were badly beaten. You suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma.]

[On the 32nd day, when you woke up again, you had already been brought to an unfamiliar place. You saw many Evil God statues around you and the cultivator. He told you that since you had killed his pet, he would refine you into his new pet. You learned from him that he came from the Devil Refinement Sect who could refine all kinds of creatures into Evil Gods and have them at their beck and call. When you heard that the cultivator wanted to refine you into a Wild Boar Spirit and the Oink God, you could not take it anymore, so you slit your throat with a slash. You committed suicide, and you died.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 32 days. System Cooldown Time: 32 minutes.]

Zhao Hao had an extremely awful expression on his face. He felt like he had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. It had taken him so much painstaking effort to kill the Wild Boar Spirit that turned out to be only a pet of some cultivator.

He opened his notepad and began to record the information.

"Killing the Wild Boar Spirit will get me the Breath Concealing Technique. When I master it with great success, it will evolve into the Heaven Shrouding Technique that can block the perception of my physique by other cultivators.]

[The Wild Boar Spirit is the pet of a cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect. If I kill it, I'll face the danger of being hunted down.]

As Zhao Hao recorded this, he suddenly started thinking about whether he could avoid the cultivator from the Devil Refinement Sect if he ran away immediately instead of practicing the Breath Concealing Technique on the top of the mountain. However, he soon realized that it was unlikely. Since the cultivator was so powerful and Zhao Hao did not have any means of hiding, he would definitely find him.
