Robbery (1)

A series of information popped up in his mind when he smirked at the most shimmering core.

///// Introducing new feature [Core Identification] : Focus on a monster core to identify the name, energy, and benefits.

///// Nine Fangs Triple Dots Lightning Cobra Core

///// Energy +27% at Four Fangs

///// Lightning skill proficiency +30

///// Speed skill proficiency +50

Feng Luotian's expression froze for a while. His smile disappeared as he thought: "Can't you just let me be a reincarnator who holds an absolute advantage over others by using his vast knowledge and previous memory from his other lifetime for once? If you could tell me more than what I know, then why do I need to become a reincarnator at all?"

Alas, he could not help but listen to his bloodline. The monster core's description from Kronos seemed to be much more accurate than what he had read from the records. He could only tell the monster core's type by looking at its name, but not to the exact skill proficiencies it gave.

After a few moments of calculation, Feng Luotian picked the only Nine Fangs monster core, two Eight Fangs core and one Seven Fangs core, then he said: "I only want these four, but it's not nearly enough to trade with this Talon core. Can I take a look at the front and pick all that I want?"

"Of course, Young Master!!" The shop immediately replied. He was afraid that any slight might change this God's Son's mind. At the same time, he was shaking all over in excitement and expectation.

"Good. Take this then." Feng Luotian casually threw Wight Wolf Core to the shop owner.

Not expecting the treasure to be tossed out this, the shop owner felt his heart drop, feared that the precious monster core might break after falling to the floor.

The shop owner used both hands to quickly catch the core before inspecting and caressing it as if it was the most alluring beauty he had ever seen in his life.

Following that, Feng Luotian returned to the storefront, checked all the cores, and swept those that fit his skills into his bag. His bag was now inflated until it was almost burst apart.

But when he was about to walk out of the gem shop, the owner quickly caught up to him: "Young Master, wait!! Please accept this gift as a token of gratitude."

As a matter of fact, in the shop owner's perspective, Feng Luotian gave much more than he took, and it was always better not to owe someone a huge favor even though the other side might not mind it that much.

To a merchant such as him, a favor might multiply with interest as time passed, so he would like to repay any kind of favor as fast as possible, given the case that he could.

After the shop owner tactfully observed his precious customer carrying a huge pile of monster cores, he decided to give Feng Luotian the thing that was perfectly fit for this situation, so he respectfully handed a spatial ring that could store items inside it

"Thank you." Feng Luotian gladly accepted as it was much more convenient this way before he waved his hand and put the monster cores he got from the shop, together with his bag, into the ring.

He also noticed that there were several sacks of gold coins within the ring as well. Those must be the portion he should be receiving if the trade was done properly. With this, he could feel that this shop owner was very honest and forthright with his business.

"Not at all, Young Master. We have made a huge profit just by this single transaction. But a young master carrying such wealth around will definitely attract some attention. With my meager strength, I can only suggest you to be careful." The shop owner sincerely smiled at Feng Luotian's words of gratitude, then he warned out of consideration.

"Oh? If someone wants it, then come and take it." Feng Luotian said his piece and left.

Immediately after that, a few shadows followed him closely.

Noticing this, the shop owner sighed: "How could he be so confident? With that cultivation, he might not even survive more than half an hour. I can only hope that someone will come and save him in time."

———

Instead of going to a crowded place, such as the city gate, where he could be protected by the guards there, Feng Luotian slowly walked into an empty narrow alley.

Once he confirmed that no one was in the area, he leaned on the wall to wait for his visitors.

Not a minute had passed, and three silhouettes appeared at the alley entrance blocking the sunlight, creating stretched shadows that crawled all the way until they reached Feng Luotian's position.

They were, of course, one of the people at the gem shop earlier, who stealthily followed the purple-eyed young man to offer up some "good" business.

Looking like common thugs with blonde hair, the three of them approached Feng Luotian while saying:

"Well, well. Good morning, God's Son!! It looks like you've been waiting for us."

"Since you already noticed us, why didn't you go to a more crowded place and request help?"

"Anyway, just hand that ring over so you don't have to get hurt."

The leader of the three held out his hand and beckoned Feng Luotian to surrender the item.

"Well, good morning, fellow brothers. As for the question you just asked, why don't you try to think for a bit about why I didn't choose a more crowded place for our little transaction?" Feng Luotian responded.

One of the robbers confidently snorted: "Hmph!! It couldn't possibly be that you wanted to deal with us secretly and didn't want others to witness it, right, God's CRIPPLED Son?!"

"Wow!! You actually answered correctly in one try!! You must be quite smart." Feng Luotian praised them and clapped his hands in excitement.

The trio looked at each other and then started laughing: "You think you can defeat us?"

"Oh, that's a wrong question. I will not be defeating you guys." Feng Luotian shook his head.

"What do you mean?" The leader said.

Feng Luotian smiled and answered: "I'll be killing you."

Meeting his cold gaze, the three robbers' bodies shuddered all over.

Someone who they thought was just a commoner could instill fear in them, cultivators. This was a blatant humiliation. As soon as they recovered, they became furious as they roared: "You bastard!!"

They instantly activated their Theríon at the same time.

///// Four Fangs Blonde Feather Sonar Pigeon

///// [Sonar Hearing] : The user can hear much further than others.

///// Three Fangs Blonde Feather Sonar Pigeon

///// [Sonar Hearing] …

///// Two Fangs Blonde Feather Sonar Pigeon

///// [Sonar Hearing] …

Actually, even without Kronos telling him, Feng Luotian could already sense their cultivation levels ever since he left the gem shop.

And there was no need for him to know their bloodline and ability at all. Even if they outnumbered him, how could a reincarnator, who had several centuries of battle experiences, not deal with some gangsters at the same cultivation level?

On the contrary, their detailed info incurred some wrath to the young man as he disdainfully commented: "With such an ability, you all could have contributed to the city by being an excellent search team or even intel scouts. Instead, you chose to become thieves. Hmph, let's fight and be done with it!!"

"Die!!" Three thugs charged at him, throwing their fists and kicks while ignoring the obvious killing intent.

Feng Luotian's purple eyes flashed blue as he activated Momentum Eyes.

Before the attacks reached him, he saw blue trails of light indicating the incoming fists and kicks' projectiles in slow motion. And not only did he see the incoming attacks, but he could also see their bodies' projectiles.

He accordingly moved his body out of all the attacks' paths, calculated the time and flung his punch at the incoming face from one of the three.

A moment later, three attacks were dodged, and ...

BAM!!

One with the highest cultivation level got a punch in the face. His nose broke instantly before blood streamed out of his nostrils, causing him to stagger backward for several steps.

After the other two's attacks missed, they stumbled past Feng Luotian, but right after they turned back to continue their assault, one met with a whip kick to his stomach. His body was sent flying towards another one, causing them to fall down together.

"H-How did you? You're just a c—"

Not even able to finish his own sentence, the Four Fangs thug's face was grabbed by a sturdy hand and pushed towards the wall.

After a loud boom, his body was buried deep into the wall as blood started to flow out from his skull.
