Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 107: One Strike

'The second step is to upgrade my Cultivation Techniques.'

Although Ethan had just enough Life Points to buy another Heavenly Option, he still didn't buy it.

Instead, he decided to upgrade his cultivation techniques to take down Galen.

'Just because I have the same cultivation as that bastard, it doesn't mean I can win the fight.'

Ethan knew full well about his own battle prowess.

'The only way to win the fight is by overpowering him with the mastery of Cultivation Techniques.'

Matching his cultivation with Galen's cultivation was a basic thing, whereas upgrading the cultivation techniques was a way to swiftly kill Galen.

For him, taking care of Galen was more important than the Heavenly Option.

Of course, that didn't mean Ethan had given up on the remaining two Heavenly Options. He believed that he would still be able to buy at least one of the Heavenly Options in a couple of weeks.

'System, how much does it cost to upgrade my Completion Stage Cultivation Techniques to Greater Completion?'

Ethan asked the system about the cost of the upgrade.

'Ding,

The [Godly Cultivation Insight] requires 4000 Life Points to upgrade your cultivation technique to the Greater Completion Stage.

'4000? As I expected, the cost has increased by ten times.'

Previously, when he upgraded the mastery of the Cultivation Techniques from Small Success Stage to Completion Stage, it only cost 400 Life Points, but the subsequent higher upgrade increased to 4000 Life Points.

Nevertheless, Ethan was already expecting it and was not surprised by it.

'Looks like I can only upgrade two Cultivation Techniques as I planned.'

Before he executed his plan, Ethan had already planned almost all the things he had to do. So, he didn't have to think much before he gave an order to the system.

'System, give me insights into [Night Phantom Concealment] and [Blazing Sun Palm] and upgrade them to Greater Completion Stage.'

He chose [Night Phantom Concealment] because it not only helped him camouflage his cultivation, but it could also help him erase his presence.

Of course, at his current mastery of that cultivation technique, its effects were not good against the Perfect Foundation and Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

However, once it was upgraded to the Greater Completion Stage, even Golden Core Realm Cultivators wouldn't be able to see through him.

As for the [Blazing Sun Palm], it was the only powerful attack technique that Ethan had, and by upgrading it to the Greater Completion Stage, even early-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivators would need to be careful of his palm technique, not to mention Galen, who was only a Perfected Foundation Realm Cultivator.

'Ding,

The [Godly Cultivation Insight] has been activated. Please bear the pain if there is any.'

As soon as he gave the order, the system activated the [Godly Cultivation Insight] and burned the Life Points as fuel.

Soon, countless profound insights related to the [Night Phantom Concealment] and the [Blazing Sun Palm] flooded Ethan's head.

'It's just a minor pain. It will disappear.'

Ethan gritted his teeth as he endured the sharp, piercing pain in his head.

The pain didn't last long as he received a series of system notifications.

'Ding,

The host has spent 4000 Life Points and successfully upgraded his [Night Phantom Concealment] to the Greater Completion Stage.

'Ding,

The host has spent 4000 Life Points and successfully upgraded his [Blazing Sun Palm] to the Greater Completion Stage.

'Ding,

Available Life Points: 2550.

'And here I am, back to being poor again.'

Ethan bitterly smiled; however, he shook his head and muttered, 'With these Azure Profound Grasses, I can get a steady source of Life Points.'

'For that, I need to plant the remaining 500 Azure Profound Grass Seeds.'

Previously, Ethan had only planted 500 seeds, and since he had emptied the remaining half of the Secret Grove, he wanted to plant and nurture them before executing the last step of his plan.

In his current situation, the Secret Grove had become a major source of Life Points for him. So, he wanted to fulfill his duties regarding it.

In the next hour, he nurtured the newly planted Azure Profound Grass Seeds, replenished his Spirit Essence, and got an understanding of his upgraded cultivation techniques.

"It is finally time to leave."

With all the preparations done, Ethan was ready to leave the Secret Grove, hoping Galen would do what he was supposed to do.

'Swiish'

After camouflaging his cultivation as a level 5 Foundation Establishment Realm, Ethan hurriedly rushed out of the Secret Grove and then the Small Floating Island.

To any onlooker, it would seem as if he was escaping in sheer panic, running for his life from an unknown killer who wanted to kill him.

His movements were swift yet restrained and just fast enough to look desperate.

'If this bastard wants to kill me so badly, he won't be able to resist this bait.'

Ethan thought coldly in his mind while he ran towards the exit of the Azure Serpent Realm.

So far, his understanding of Galen was that he was calm and composed and seemed to be a meticulous planner. Hence, Ethan wanted to make Galen believe that he was trying to run away from him.

But, everything was an act to make Galen come out of his hiding, and Ethan was using only fifty percent of his speed.

'Swiish'

'Swiish'

Just as Ethan left the Small Floating Island, dozens of sharp needles rained on him.

'Danger.'

Ethan's [Predator's Spirit] instantly warned him about the incoming danger.

Without hesitation, he twisted his body and moved in a zigzag motion, and avoided the incoming needles by a narrow margin.

Of course, with his full speed, Ethan could easily dodge them; however, he was trying his best not to display his battle prowess in front of Galen.

The needles whizzed past, some grazing his sleeves, others embedding themselves into the ground where he had just been standing.

'He is more prepared than I thought he would be.'

Ethan's sharp eyes caught the faint, eerie glow on the needles—they were definitely coated with a lethal toxin, making him think, 'If even one had pierced me, it would have been troublesome.'

'Poisoned needles? A coward who can't even show himself and now, he is resorting to these underhanded tactics.'

Seeing that Galen was still not showing himself and was making his moves from the shadows, Ethan didn't miss the chance to flaunt his taunting skills.

'Swiish'

"Bastard, you have no right to talk about it when you sneakily killed my little Silas."

A sudden gust of wind swept through the trees, and this time, a voice filled with rage echoed from the darkness.

"So, it was really you, the great host of the Cultivator's Gathering, Galen."

Ethan laughed in his heart as his taunts truly worked like magic.

"That's right! I am Galen, the brother of the person who was killed by you exactly here… his name is Silas… Silas Wei."

Galen's face was filled with fury, and he shouted at Ethan as his aura burst out violently while he shouted his little brother's name.

"Silas… Silas… Ah, that coward who left his teammates to die?" He snapped his fingers. "Now I remember! I barely put any effort into killing him. Didn't even know his name, by the way."

With Ethan's words, Ethan confirmed that all his guesses were true, and Galen indeed wanted to take revenge for the Sect Disciple he killed a week ago.

"Damn you… bastard."

Galen's aura exploded with rage as he madly rushed at Ethan.

'Isn't this what I wanted from you?'

Looking at the madly rushing Galen, Ethan could not help but laugh in his heart because everything was going as he planned… at least until now.

[Shadow Steps]

'Swoosh'

Just when Galen's punch was about to land on Ethan, his figure blurred and vanished, leaving behind his silhouette, which Galen's punch went through.

"What? How did he move like that?"

Galen frowned when he missed his punch, and at the next moment, a bad feeling arose in his heart, "Damn it… something's wrong!"

'Swiish'

"You must be looking for me, right?"

'Swiish!'

Before Galen could even process the situation, a whisper brushed past his ear.

Instinctively, Galen's pupils shrunk as he twisted his body to move away; however, it was too late.

[Blazing Sun Palm]

'Boom!'

A fiery explosion erupted as Ethan's palm, blazing with golden-orange flames, struck Galen's chest.

The fiery force behind the attack sent Galen flying into a row of trees, destroying them.

'T-this power… it's so powerful.'

Ethan was shocked to see the trail of destruction caused by his [Blazing Sun Palm].

Although Ethan knew that the [Blazing Sun Palm] had great explosive power after successfully upgrading it to the Greater Completion Stage, he felt he had greatly underestimated it.

'The required spirit essence to use the [Blazing Sun Palm] has also greatly increased. If not for my increased cultivation, I could've barely used it a couple of times.'

His Perfected Foundation Realm cultivation had passively helped him in many ways. Other than the quantity of the Spirit Essence, its quality had also greatly increased.

More importantly, his raw strength had greatly increased multiple times, making his [Blazing Sun Palm] very deadly to Galen, who was also a Perfected Foundation Realm cultivator.

"Cough… how are you this powerful? You are just a Level 5… cough."

Blood spewed from Galen's mouth as he coughed but still spoke, with his entire body trembling from the devastating impact.

"Huh? You are still alive?"

Ethan was a bit surprised to see Galen alive as he slowly walked towards him and replied, "If I weren't in a hurry, I would've had a nice conversation with you to explain all these things. But, sorry, I am busy."

'Slash'

Unlike Galen, Ethan didn't have any plans to torture his target. Moreover, he still had things to do.

So, he quickly killed Galen and moved to the last stage of his plan, but he paused when he received a series of system notifications that pleasantly surprised him.

'Ding,

The [Heaven's Virtue] has been triggered.
