My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 83 - 82: Suppression

"This is a recreation of the Master in his youth. His skills were limited back then, so you needn’t worry about him using any heaven-defying Martial Arts."

Elder Xuan smiled faintly. "As for the Master’s cultivation level, it will be set to match yours. However high your cultivation, his will be the same. As long as you defeat him, you will become his successor!"

Defeating the Profound Celestial Spirit King at the same cultivation level, even as a youth, was no simple task.

"I wonder, what is your current cultivation level?" Elder Xuan gently raised his hand, and a ray of light enveloped Yi Tianyun, beginning to probe his cultivation.

After probing for a moment, Elder Xuan was stunned. He exclaimed in shock, "Core Formation Stage... and the seventh level at that!?"

Although Elder Xuan was merely the steward here, he was in charge of the Illusionary Array, and his own abilities were not weak. Probing a cultivation level was not difficult for him. But after he got a clear reading, he was completely floored. Seventh Level of the Core Formation Stage! That was far beyond the Spirit Refining Stage.

"Yes, this junior is at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage. I’m not sure how I was able to enter... This doesn’t violate the rules, does it?"

Yi Tianyun felt a bit awkward. He really hoped Elder Xuan wouldn’t disqualify him on the spot. That would be a cruel joke.

"How strange. I clearly set the requirement for entry to be below the Core Formation Stage, yet you managed to get in..."

Elder Xuan gave a wry smile. "It seems there was some kind of error. However, since you’re already here, I can’t very well ask you to leave. The cultivation limit was set so low mainly because younger Cultivators are more malleable. Even if they had to start over with different Martial Arts, it wouldn’t be a great waste of time. That’s why the limit was set at the Spirit Refining Stage. Since you’re already at the Core Formation Stage, it could be a problem if the inheritance is incompatible with your current path."

"Elder Xuan, you don’t need to worry about that. I don’t think there’s anything that would be incompatible with my cultivation, and I won’t need to discard the Martial Arts I’ve already learned." ’After all, I have the System. The System is all-encompassing; as long as it’s a Martial Art, I can just equip it and use it.’

"Very well. Regardless, you will have two choices. The first is to give up, but I will have to erase your memories. The second is to proceed. If the inheritance is incompatible, you will have your previous cultivation forcibly crippled!" Elder Xuan said gravely.

’This was his master’s inheritance. It had to be handled with the utmost care and could not be passed on carelessly.’

"No problem," Yi Tianyun said with a smile. "May I ask, Elder Xuan, what level will his cultivation be set to now?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Since you are at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage, his level will be set to match. If we were to still use a Spirit Refining Stage cultivation, this battle would be pointless." Elder Xuan waved his hand, and a ray of light enveloped the Profound Celestial Spirit King.

The youthful Profound Celestial Spirit King’s aura suddenly exploded, soaring wildly upward. In Yi Tianyun’s eyes, his comprehensive Combat Power started from zero and shot up like a rocket.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... It finally stopped at nearly fifty thousand.

This was already a terrifying number. A normal Cultivator at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage would have a Combat Power of forty thousand at most. As expected of the Profound Celestial Spirit King in his youth, he had already reached a level of fifty thousand.

Profound Celestial Spirit King (Youth): Seventh Level Core Formation Stage, extremely powerful Physique on par with a High-Grade Spiritual Artifact. Comprehensive Combat Power: 50,000!

’This Profound Celestial Spirit King is truly something else.’ Yi Tianyun’s eyes lit up. His Eye of Investigation had already completed its analysis; the Spirit King’s Combat Power was indeed impressive.

Of course, to Yi Tianyun, this was nothing. With the boost from his Power Set, his Combat Power reached sixty thousand, completely overwhelming the Profound Celestial Spirit King.

Without the boost from the Power Set, his own Combat Power was also around fifty thousand, basically on par with the Profound Celestial Spirit King. And that was with his physique enhanced by the Dragon God Bloodline. He had previously activated the Dragon God Bloodline within him, strengthening his physique considerably, which was the reason for his high Combat Power.

This just went to show how astonishing the Profound Celestial Spirit King’s physique was.

The Power Set’s boost was a 100% increase in strength, not a 100% increase in Combat Power; it purely enhanced Yi Tianyun’s physical power. If it were a direct boost to his total stats, that would be insane. It would mean his Combat Power would explode to one hundred thousand, which was obviously impossible.

The Power Set wasn’t a Divine Artifact, after all; it was only at the Spiritual Artifact Level.

"You can use your own weapon, or you can choose one that we provide. The choice is yours," Elder Xuan said. "However, the Master requires no weapon. He relies solely on his fists."

"He relies only on his fists? Then I, too, shall fight bare-handed to show my respect." Yi Tianyun declined to use a weapon, choosing to fight empty-handed.

"Are you sure?"

Elder Xuan’s voice deepened. "This is no simple matter. The Master’s physique is far stronger than that of an ordinary Cultivator. I understand your desire to show respect, but what’s required here is strength!"

"It’s no problem. I will use my own two fists," Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile. "I don’t believe my fists will lose to anyone."

Elder Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Very well, as you wish. But if you fail, you will not get another chance. It will be counted as your defeat."

"Understood," Yi Tianyun said with a calm smile.

Seeing Yi Tianyun’s resolve, Elder Xuan gave up trying to persuade him. He immediately announced, "Then, let the trial begin!"

The words had barely left his lips when the Profound Celestial Spirit King stomped hard on the ground. BOOM! He shot forward like a meteorite. With every step, the ground quaked and the mountains seemed to shake, and an immense, oppressive aura washed over Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun’s expression remained calm. As the Profound Celestial Spirit King charged at him, he gave a faint smile and shot his hand out to meet the incoming fist, his open palm facing the blow without a trace of fear.

’Meeting a fist head-on... that’s not a good idea. In fact, it’s a foolish one. The Profound Celestial Spirit King’s greatest asset is his formidable physique. He can unleash terrifying power even without using any Martial Arts.’

BANG!

The heavy fist smashed forward, but Yi Tianyun’s palm caught the Profound Celestial Spirit King’s fist. A terrifying suction force immediately emanated from his palm.

’Star Absorption Technique!’

Combined with the North Nether Divine Technique, an incredibly strong suction force erupted from his palm. A continuous stream of Spiritual Power was drawn out and flowed into Yi Tianyun’s body!

’One thousand Experience Value, one thousand three hundred Experience Value, one thousand two hundred Experience Value...’

’It works here, too! I can still absorb Experience Value!’ A jolt of joy went through Yi Tianyun, and he immediately activated Mad Experience Mode. The incoming Experience Value instantly skyrocketed!

’Four thousand Experience Value, four thousand four hundred Experience Value, four thousand eight hundred Experience Value...’

A ceaseless tide of Experience Value flowed madly into his body.

The Profound Celestial Spirit King threw another punch, but Yi Tianyun held it fast, continuing to madly absorb the experience, determined to drain him dry! ’With a gap of more than ten thousand in comprehensive Combat Power, I can suppress even a Spirit King!’
