Six o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Ye returned home carrying a large crate.
Inside the main villa:
Click! Jiang Ye opened the heavy black iron crate.
Inside lay several items:
A high-magnification biological microscope.
A Smart Hive Drone.
A super-powered sniper rifle.
In total, there were seven items, all purchased from the Gray Market the previous day.
"Super-powered sniper rifle," Jiang Ye said, lifting the heavy rifle. Among the seven items, this was the most expensive.
The total cost was 250,000 federal currency, with the rifle alone accounting for 150,000.
Firearms posed no threat to the Shadow Clan.
However, due to the existence of the Hidden God Organization, the Federation did not prohibit citizens from owning guns.
"Let's test its power."
Clutching the iron crate, Jiang Ye climbed to the roof of the main villa.
Standing there, he could overlook the entire city of Tianhai, taking in the bustling riverfront, and in the distance, the majestic mountains and rivers.
Jiang Ye raised the super-powered sniper rifle, activated the scope, and aimed at the distant, undulating mountain range.
Tianhai City, the world's center, was rarely graced by mountains.
Fortunately, Penglai University was situated in the suburbs, just twenty kilometers from the nearest mountain, Dragon Bone Mountain.
This distance fell perfectly within the range of the super-powered sniper rifle.
"Aim," Jiang Ye instructed himself, peering through the scope at a massive boulder on Dragon Bone Mountain.
He squeezed the trigger.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar erupted as the super-powered bullet shot out of the barrel like a cannonball, hurtling toward Dragon Bone Mountain twenty kilometers away.
In an instant, the bullet pierced its target.
Boom! The boulder Jiang Ye had targeted shattered into dust, as if struck by a missile.
"Impressive," Jiang Ye marveled.
The super-powered sniper rifle's destructive power rivaled that of missiles from his previous life.
Though this world revered martial dao, technological advancement hadn't stagnated. Spaceships and even planet-destroying warships existed, though such wonders remained far beyond Jiang Ye's reach.
As Jiang Ye mused, a subtitle quietly appeared:
[Warning! Warning!]
"It's a sure thing!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face as he saw the message.
[Your attack range exceeds the maximum limit for the entire low martial world! Suspected cheat detected?]
[System analysis in progress...]
"Hmm?" Jiang Ye frowned.
Why is the system suddenly analyzing me?
Has it gotten smarter?
He had spent a fortune this time, hoping to exploit a system bug to unlock a new achievement. If something went wrong now, it would be a massive loss.
Just as Jiang Ye was growing increasingly anxious, the system message reappeared.
[New achievement unlocked: Kill from afar, leaving no trace!]
[Title unlocked: Void Seeker]
[Reward: At distances of 10 meters or more, ranged accuracy increased by 100%, damage increased by 1%-100% (higher damage at greater distances), and a 0.1% chance to inflict the 'Void Imprisonment' status on targets.]
[Strict Warning: Do not use cheat methods to interfere with system detection!]
"Void Targeting?"
Jiang Ye stared at the system reward, inwardly astonished.
A 100% increase in long-range accuracy, not only boosting damage but also granting a chance to immobilize targets?
This is too powerful!
"But... beyond ten meters?" Jiang Ye mused. "It'll probably be hard to use."
"Unless I can master the second ultimate move of the Great Sun Spear Technique—Proud Sun Soars Across the Sky."
The second ultimate move could extend the spear's aura by several meters, greatly increasing its attack range.
However, the further the distance, the more the spear's power would diminish exponentially.
"Better than nothing," Jiang Ye muttered, shaking his head.
He knew he couldn't master the second ultimate move of the Great Sun Spear Technique in the short term. He hadn't even fully mastered the first one yet.
Undeterred, Jiang Ye moved on to test the next piece of equipment.
"Drone."
"Connect." He activated the Smart Hive Drone, pairing it with his phone.
Moments later,
Buzz~
The drone ascended, instantly splitting into hundreds of smaller drones that scattered in all directions.
Jiang Ye's phone lit up simultaneously.
Beep! Holographic projections erupted from the screen, each displaying live footage from the drones.
Jiang Ye stared intently at the projections.
"I wonder if this will work."
I hope it unlocks a reward similar to the Reconnaissance Eye, he thought expectantly.
Buzz~ Buzz!
The hundreds of drones patrolled the surrounding area, gradually extending their range.
One hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
One thousand meters.
[You have achieved a new achievement: Comprehending all phenomena without moving an inch, observing every blade of grass and every tree.]
[Unlocked title: Observer of All Phenomena]
[Reward: Your mental power can now envelop your surroundings, penetrating all things!]
Buzz!
An invisible wave radiated outward in all directions.
Instantly, the surrounding scenery flooded Jiang Ye's mind.
"What is this?" Jiang Ye's eyes widened.
The legendary Martial Dao Will Perception?
When the Martial Dao Will grows strong enough, it undergoes a transcendent transformation, giving birth to extraordinary abilities.
One such ability is perception—but not the ordinary five senses.
Instead, it uses the intangible yet potent Martial Dao Will to "touch" and even penetrate surrounding objects.
This ability is incredibly powerful.
It can not only detect the life level of others but also perceive details invisible to ordinary eyes.
Yet this ability is typically reserved for experts who have achieved at least the fourth breakthrough!
And Jiang Ye? He already possesses it.
"However, the range is very limited, less than half a meter in radius," Jiang Ye noted, closing his eyes yet still clearly "seeing" his surroundings.
Moreover, his Martial Dao Will Perception could penetrate any object.
For example, he focused on his super-powered sniper rifle.
Whoosh! Instantly, every internal component—the barrel, rifling, and all the intricate details—appeared in Jiang Ye's mind.
Ignoring physical barriers!
Hiss! Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed through Jiang Ye's mind.
The clarity of his Sea of Consciousness abruptly narrowed.
Jiang Ye immediately withdrew his Will Perception and opened his eyes.
It seems my current Martial Dao Will isn't strong enough to sustain this kind of external penetration, Jiang Ye thought to himself.
His Martial Dao Will was exceptionally strong, far surpassing others at his level.
However, this kind of Martial Dao Will perception placed an immense burden on his Sea of Consciousness, far beyond what Jiang Ye could currently withstand.
After all, this ability was typically only attainable after the fourth breakthrough or higher.
Jiang Ye had only achieved his first breakthrough.
"As expected, my Martial Dao Will is still not strong enough," he muttered.
"From now on, I need to train more on the first level of the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder," Jiang Ye resolved inwardly.
Regaining his focus, Jiang Ye manipulated his phone to recall all the drones.
"I can't believe I got so lucky," he grinned.
"Two consecutive items unlocked new achievements. Everything's going so smoothly!"
This success inflated his confidence.
If all seven items unlocked new achievements, wouldn't he gain seven buffs at once?
With this thought, Jiang Ye eagerly continued his experiments.
However, the subsequent tests proved less fortunate.
Four consecutive items failed to unlock any new achievements.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ye gazed at the final item and sighed softly. "Let's hope this one works."
He retrieved the high-magnification biological microscope.
"Microscope," Jiang Ye adjusted the device, examining his own body at high magnification.
Shaped like a handheld controller, the microscope could be aimed directly at the target area, magnifying it up to a thousand times.
Ten times.
A hundred times.
A thousand times...
In the next moment:
[You have unlocked a new achievement.]
