Chapter 26: All to You

Xu Xiaoshou hadn't opened the panel in a long time and now looked at the first section.

One, Basic Passive Skills:

Huxi zhi Fa (Houtian Lv.1).

Shengsheng Buxi (Houtian Lv.1).

This newly appeared passive skill was right under the "Basic Passive Skills" section, which surprised Xu Xiaoshou a bit.

He was no longer a complete novice with the system; in comparison, basic passive skills might not be as powerful as extended ones, but their supportive effects were extremely formidable.

Just look at "Huxi zhi Fa" in the same section.

He had never upgraded that skill, not because it was weak, but because it was too strong—and its side effects were a bit terrifying, making Xu Xiaoshou hesitant.

So, would Shengsheng Buxi be just as powerful?

Xu Xiaoshou pondered the literal meaning of this passive skill: life force never ceasing?

If so, wouldn't it be a huge help to him right now?

He turned his attention inward, focusing on his dantian and observing the unrefined "Jin Zhao Huo Zhong".

It was only the size of a fingernail, yet the energy inside was extremely terrifying, impossible to quantify.

As long as this thing existed, Xu Xiaoshou suffered torment every moment; every second, it released a scorching aura that wildly eroded his body.

Blood, meridians, bones...

Every invadable cell was covered by the scorching power.

Xu Xiaoshou's body surface was blood-red, looking fearsome, but internally, he was covered in wounds.

Chunks of flesh were burned to char, and veins were baked until they burst.

However, the presence of "Huxi zhi Fa" allowed him to recover instantly by inhaling a Chi Jin Dan just as his injuries were about to worsen, letting him hold on longer.

Now, his Chi Jin Dan was depleted, with none left to inhale, but under his observation, the destroyed muscles, bones, and meridians in his body were slowly regenerating on their own.

The recovery speed was naturally not as fast as the destruction, but it was several times higher than the human body's natural recovery rate!

Xu Xiaoshou immediately realized this was the effect of "Shengsheng Buxi".

So, the function of this new passive skill was to accelerate the recovery of his own injuries?

It was like a lifeline in a crisis!

Xu Xiaoshou didn't hesitate; after the twenty consecutive draws, he still had two thousand passive points left, so he casually exchanged for five skill points and added them directly to this passive skill.

"Shengsheng Buxi (Houtian Lv.6)."

Almost visibly, Xu Xiaoshou felt refreshed, with surging vitality emerging in his body, instantly restoring half of his injuries.

"Indeed!" Xu Xiaoshou said with a face full of surprise; this was a divine skill!

He exchanged for another five skill points and added them directly.

"Shengsheng Buxi (Xiantian Lv.1)."

A dense vitality force turned into invisible waves and spread out, making the staff member who had been secretly glancing at Xu Xiaoshou suddenly feel energized.

He was startled and immediately stopped peeking, but he felt endless energy, suddenly missing home immensely.

For outsiders, it was like that; for Xu Xiaoshou, it was even more so. He opened his mouth wide, shocked as he looked inside his body.

The destruction speed of the "Jin Zhao Huo Zhong" was actually forcibly matched by "Shengsheng Buxi", with both sides in a stalemate, evenly matched.

"This..."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned; this recovery speed was terrifying!

You have to know, "Jin Zhao Huo Zhong" had consumed almost two bottles of Chi Jin Dan in just half a day, nearly ten pills.

And now, the recovery speed of "Shengsheng Buxi" could match it, which meant he wouldn't need to take Chi Jin Dan for similar injuries in the future?

This would save so many resources!

Then, the staff member who couldn't help but be curious watched in shock as Xu Xiaoshou drew a ninth-grade spirit sword from his ring and slashed it hard across his own palm.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, making the staff member feel unwell.

Random head shaking and unexplained fainting were one thing, but now he started self-harming?

This Xu Xiaoshou must be sick!

But Xu Xiaoshou couldn't care less; he watched the wound across his palm heal at an extremely fast speed, and in no time, it was as good as new.

Not even a scar left!

"Damn..."

Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but swear; at the Xiantian level, "Shengsheng Buxi" had a recovery rate much faster than Chi Jin Dan.

Tap tap tap!

Footsteps came from afar; Xu Xiaoshou looked over, and it was the previous staff member returning.

He was holding ten bottles of dan in his arms, full of disbelief; following Xu Xiaoshou's words, he really got the Chi Jin Dan from Elder Xiao, ten bottles, like a dream.

Most importantly, this batch of dan was free!

Xu Xiaoshou immediately grinned and said, "Got them, ten bottles?"

The staff member woke up as if from a dream and nodded woodenly.

Xu Xiaoshou: "Awesome, right? Talking to the great elder of Ling Fa Ge like that, is this the highlight of your life?"

The staff member nodded vigorously.

"Great, and there's even better!" Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand, "All for you!"

Staff member: ???

"No, no, this is yours, I absolutely can't take it!"

He reacted, though he didn't know what was wrong with Xu Xiaoshou, but he had professional ethics and wouldn't accept bribes.

Xu Xiaoshou laughed, "No problem, I want to give it, you take it!"

The staff member kept shaking his head.

"Really don't want it?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Xiaoshou took the ten bottles of dan and waved to the other staff member who was full of envy: "Come on, all for you!"

Staff member A: "..."

Staff member B: "..."

Both were silent, looking at each other, seeing the restraint and slight desire in each other's eyes.

Xu Xiaoshou held back his laugh: "Relax, it's just you two here, divide it up, no one will see!"

Both shook their heads.

Xu Xiaoshou couldn't hold it: "Do you have to ruin my happiness?"

"Each takes two bottles, no discussion!"

The staff member still wanted to shake his head, but Xu Xiaoshou drew "Zang Ku" and with a clang, stuck the sword into the ground.

"Take it or not!"

"Take it!"

"Good!"

The ten bottles of dan were secretly given away four bottles in the end.

There was no way; these guys were too timid, even free stuff they didn't want, he had to force them with the sword. Fortunately, with both persuasion and threat, Xu Xiaoshou finally shared his happiness.

After all, it was Chi Jin Dan, a healing medicine that was sometimes hard to get, so the two staff members were happy to bend the rules once.

Of course, under normal circumstances, they were very upright; Xu Xiaoshou's sword could testify to that.

As dusk approached, the top 32 were finally determined, and as per tradition, today they would select the top 16.

Xu Xiaoshou had just finished giving away the dan and was still enjoying himself when the next moment, he heard the referee call his name, and he immediately left the waiting area for the arena.

The setting sun's afterglow cast down, stretching his departing figure long and thin.

The two staff members each held a bottle of Chi Jin Dan, feeling that this figure covered in golden scales was filled with an unprecedented attractiveness.

"I've never thought he was this kind of Xu Xiaoshou."

"Uh-huh!"

"Generous, handsome, unconventional."

"Uh-huh!"

"Although he sometimes goes crazy, he's quite cute."

"Uh-huh!"

"I... urk!"

"Uh-huh, uh?"
