Chapter 552: Pinnacle of Technique
"Mr. Tao Pai Pai, I'm here to discuss the ransom for Su Qingqiu…"
The leader of the Reaper's Paradise assembly was a woman, thin with slightly dark skin. Perhaps not wanting to make her avatar too conspicuous, she looked quite unremarkable.
If one saw her in the Slum, no one would likely imagine that such a woman was the controller of the renowned high-level assembly, Reaper's Paradise.
The woman, codenamed Mu Yu, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses. Her aura wasn't strong; in front of Tao Pai Pai, she seemed like a subordinate.
Black Butler, Jin Yue'an, and Li Qingzi stood behind Bai Cangshu. Further back, Su Qingqiu had been reduced to a human stick. If he weren't in the space, he would likely die at any moment.
Meanwhile, Death Sword, One Thought Green Silk, with her dark purple hair, was chained around her neck and stood behind Bai Cangshu, massaging his shoulders and neck.
Mu Yu tried her best to control her emotions. Although she had already received the outcome from Terminus Great Sun, seeing this scene still made her eyes twitch slightly.
Accompanying Mu Yu was another woman, with pink hair flowing to her waist. Her white gauze dress wrapped around her sides, revealing a considerable amount of cleavage.
Announce Paradise, Su Enfei, was another iconic Title-level Reincarnator of Reaper's Paradise.
The so-called Reaper's Paradise had gained its reputation through Su Enfei and Su Qingqiu.
These two were speculated to be siblings or lovers. Most intelligence brokers believed them to be Koreans, but some thought they were East Xia people.
"Tao Pai Pai, an item equivalent to two a-level singularities should be enough to get that useless person back, right~"
Su Enfei's relationship with Su Qingqiu was not as harmonious as outsiders believed. Black Butler could tell that Su Enfei was speaking with considerable malice.
She was about to continue, but Mu Yu interrupted her.
"Mr. Tao Pai Pai, I heard you've been looking for items like the bodhi leaf recently. Coincidentally, I have some."
Bai Cangshu leaned his head back, resting it directly on One Thought Green Silk's body. In the space, the two could have direct physical contact, which meant they had also entered into a contract granting complete control.
Li Qingzi stood behind, watching this scene with an indifferent expression.
Jin Yue'an, however, subtly glanced at Li Qingzi. She was increasingly grasping the dynamic between the two of them.
She pushed up her glasses, took out a tablet, and began negotiations.
"According to the current market price in the Slum, each bodhi leaf is valued at one a-rank special point, which is a good price."
Mu Yu shook her head. Her aura was weak, but she spoke calmly, not overly pressured by the current situation.
"Although the bodhi leaf is only a purple-quality consumable item, its value has an additional premium for Martial artists like Mr. Tao Pai Pai."
"I think two bodhi leaves valued at one s-level singularity is a price we can both accept."
Ever since the news spread that Tao Pai Pai defeated Daikokuten and others in the real world, Black Butler no longer disguised his animosity towards Tao Pai Pai.
At this moment, he was mercilessly helping to drive down the price.
"Ms. Mu Yu, it's true that we need bodhi leaves, but you should also know that ever since the news of that battle spread, many teams have been using items Mr. Tao Pai Pai likes to curry favor with us."
"The value of the bodhi leaf is not as high as you imagine."
As the few bickered, Su Qingqiu, who had been reduced to a human stick and had also signed a Slave Contract, had calm eyes. When he prepared to kill Tao Pai Pai, he had also prepared to be killed by him in return.
Those who kill will always be killed. This is fair.
The reason Bai Cangshu patiently listened to these people negotiate was simply because he was currently in a stage of considerable resource scarcity.
The damage caused by peeking into the origin and connecting to the origin was more severe than he had anticipated.
Just repairing his body after returning cost him one a-rank special point and tens of thousands of dimensional points, almost draining all the resources he had previously saved.
And after a fierce battle with those people in Paradise, repeatedly activating that unknown magic to peek into the essence of others' abilities, and forcibly seizing Daikokuten's Terminus ability, the price was his body being corroded by the origin again.
The price of these Mystic Eyes was far more intense than that of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Almost every use resulted in his body being corroded by the origin.
Bai Cangshu had checked the space. The reason he suffered this corrosion was that his body was not born from the origin and could not adapt well to the root vortex.
In other words, he did not possess the essence of Root Origin, so using those eyes came at an extremely high cost.
If not for the Reincarnator's ability to infinitely repair themselves in the space, Bai Cangshu would simply be unable to bear these eyes.
The outcome of being corroded by the root vortex was not death, but the elimination of one's inherent nature, with one's existence being assimilated.
Bai Cangshu's immortality and super regeneration could not exempt him from the effects of this corrosion.
Bai Cangshu enjoyed the massage from the new generation leader of the renowned Blackwater in the space, but his mind was pondering his next enhancement direction.
He opened his panel.
"Specialties: Martial Arts Specialization Lv9+ (9+2); Street Fighting Lv9, Fist and Foot Specialization Lv9, Footwork Specialization Lv9, Spirit Arts Specialization Lv9..."
"Abilities: Ripple Breathing Lv9; Devil Spear Lv9; Divine Finger Flick Lv7; Killing Intent Ripple Lv4; Instant Prison Kill Lv4; Wind God Kick Lv9; Ice Heart Art Lv9; Kaioken Lv3..."
At the skill level, he was gradually approaching the limit of ordinary Reincarnators, reaching the so-called Pinnacle of Technique.
After Bai Cangshu's Martial Arts Specialization reached Lv9, with the bonus from the pink robe of tao baibai, it became a Lv9+ state.
He could feel that he had entered a bottleneck; his ability to exert force, absorb force, and control power had all reached their peak.
Ahead was already the insurmountable wall for ordinary Martial artists.
With the help of items, he had gone a little further than others, but he still couldn't break through that limit.
This was the limit for most physical combat and swordsmanship Reincarnators. High-Grade Reincarnators, with significant team resource allocation and various items like the bodhi leaf and Mental Time Chamber, could raise their specialization to Lv9.
At this point, without relying on any abilities, Reincarnators could fully display the terrifying lethality of their attributes.
Just like Bai Cangshu, with his current 50 points of basic strength, under the control of this level of Martial Arts Specialization, he could now do everything Tao Pai Pai had shown him in the Dragon Ball World that day.
Whether it was killing with finger winds, plucking flowers and flying leaves, or stomping the ground, transmitting power dozens of meters to precisely kill a target, or even directly killing with breath from his mouth.
None of it was an issue.
But Bai Cangshu knew very well that beyond this Pinnacle of Technique, there existed an even higher realm.
Lv9+ was not the limit.
He wanted to enter the transcendent realms of Lv10 and Lv11.
After witnessing Sasaki Kojiro's secret sword, Tsubame Gaeshi, in the Type-Moon World, Bai Cangshu was certain that technique, once it broke through to a certain level, could also touch upon incredible power.
Even if Sasaki Kojiro himself couldn't understand how he did it, there was no doubt that that sword had already broken through the level of technique and began to approach the level of 'Law'.
On the other hand, Bai Cangshu needed to make up for the deficiencies in his Agility and Mental attributes. Thinking of this, he regretfully glanced at Su Qingqiu.
If the other party were an Agility-specialized or Mental-specialized Reincarnator, he would probably have already become his nourishment by now.
Mu Yu saw Tao Pai Pai's glance at Su Qingqiu. The greed in his eyes made her shiver.
She didn't want to get entangled with this monster anymore, and she also wanted to completely sever Su Qingqiu's grievances with him.
She suddenly stood up, surprising Su Enfei and Jin Yue'an.
Mu Yu walked up to Bai Cangshu, her expression calm as she said,
"I can offer one bodhi. Additionally, I have information on another Scarlet Sin. That is a… quite agile Great Sin."
The next moment, she saw a strong aura flash in Tao Pai Pai's eyes, and his fervent breath almost sprayed onto her face.
"Very good, very good!"
Bai Cangshu reached out, and Su Qingqiu, his slave, was effortlessly pulled through the air. He tossed the human stick to Mu Yu.
"When I kill that Great Sin, I will release him from the Slave Contract."
Mu Yu handed Su Qingqiu to Su Enfei and continued,
"I know every Scarlet Sin is your best supplement, Tao Pai Pai. I hope the grievances between Su Qingqiu and you are settled now. In the future, our Reaper's Paradise will not accept any missions related to you."
"This is my promise."
