Chapter 235: Chapter 158: Unlocking the "Hundred Refinements" Skill, Entropy Sea Bank VIP Customer_2

"Combat Retrospect!"

Qin Shi activated his skill, ready to test the results of half a month’s accumulation.

With a flicker of thought, the inner realm changed, a pitch-black sky adorned with twinkling stars above.

One opponent after another was projected, all clad in black robes, surrounding him completely.

"White-haired Jiang Zaiyue, Fang Xin of the Snake Mother Gang, and then some punching bags from Yu Hai Security."

Qin Shi glanced over those expressionless, rigid faces and slowly activated the Furnace Technique.

His breath flowed with his blood, shaking his entire body, circulating continuously.

The boiling heat turned into white mist, surging upwards like thick ribbons of cloud, enveloping his mortal body.

At this moment, spirit and flesh merged, reaching the peak.

Boom!

With a step, the ground shattered, as if sinking and collapsing.

Immediately, his figure flashed explosively, tearing through the void, appearing abruptly in front of Jiang Zaiyue who had a Life Force of eighty points.

He opened his palm, using the Wind Fist Stream, pressing towards the opponent like it was attached to a large vortex.

The intense air pressure contracted, like a steel cannon pounding, unleashing a violent force that could pierce through alloy steel plates!

Thud!

The punch wind exploded, smashing Jiang Zaiyue’s head into pieces.

The opponent with eighty points of Life Force stood no chance against Qin Shi.

Fang Xin of the Snake Mother Gang quickly released a dozen air snakes, filled with paralyzing toxin.

He did not expect this skill to instantly subdue Qin Shi; instead, he changed his thinking, spreading out the dozen air snakes, then igniting them like a barrel of gunpowder, exploding them simultaneously!

In an instant, the toxin filled the surroundings, trying to penetrate the skin, be inhaled into the body, and affect Qin Shi’s actions.

"Opponents on the Spiritual Ability Path are still as annoying as ever."

Qin Shi held his breath, the furnace within him roared, pushing his breath to the peak, expelling the air filled with the terrifying toxin.

His upright posture was like a towering mountain, exuding a strong oppressive force just by standing there.

The explosion of the air snakes could not shake him at all, nor cause any harm.

Qin De and Zheng Que quickly approached, launching a pincer attack, one wielding a fist like a heavy hammer, the other slashing horizontally with a knife.

Qin Shi repelled Fang Xin’s attack, then took a deep breath, his lungs, forming a white cocoon and emitting a faint metallic sheen, inhaling the toxin that could knock out an elephant, and then exhaling violently.

The turbulent air swept towards Qin De and Zheng Que like a roaring wind dragon.

He was attempting to forge the secret weapon of the lungs, the Supreme Imperial Weapon, and this level of toxin was easily filtered out.

Covered by the paralyzing toxin, Qin De and Zheng Que’s limbs stiffened instantly, and they were effortlessly defeated by Qin Shi.

With a palm strike, Qin De’s flesh shattered, like porcelain hitting the ground and cracking, and with a horizontal punch, Zheng Que’s knife shattered into seven or eight pieces, tearing through his body and splattering blood.

The final Spiritual Shock guided the spirit, his mind surged like a torrent, bursting Fang Xin’s head from the Snake Mother Gang.

"As I become more familiar with the techniques and my combat experience grows... irrespective of the opponent or situation, I can quickly formulate a solution."

Qin Shi repeatedly simulated the match; one of his daily training tasks was ten battles.

If he wanted to experience being beaten, he would review Lao Zhang’s combat, relishing the feeling of being pounded; if he wanted to enhance his combat awareness, he would fight multiple enemies at once, breaking through one by one.

"It’s a pity that if I could use Spiritual Resonance to materialize the top ten pioneers, experiencing their power levels would be great."

Qin Shi panted heavily, calming the furnace breath. Though he seemed to win easily, he had exerted himself fully.

Once the "Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual" was activated, pushing the mortal body, the overall state would increase severalfold.

However, it also easily caused great strain on the body, testing the resilience of organs and tissues.

Hence, it was necessary to explore and activate the five major Secret Collections to extend the duration of Furnace Body Refining.

"The second stage is probably around five to six minutes."

Qin Shi called this mode of explosive combat power "BOSS Second Stage."

Without half a month’s sedimentary austerity, previously three minutes was the limit.

But with his body gradually becoming stronger, it now extended to about six minutes.

"Prepare actively for the competition, strive for the top reward."

Qin Shi deactivated Combat Retrospect, and the inner realm returned to normal.

After finishing his daily cultivation course, he grabbed the little orange dog and opened a cracked software he hadn’t logged into for a long time.

Last time, after impersonating a "Deliver Dead" rider to complete an order, he even received the final payment from Qin Yixiong.

Speaking seriously, this second lord of the Qin Family essentially ordered, paid for, and got rid of himself.

"I wonder what skills [Hundred Refinements] will unlock after sacrificing ’Electronic Mind.’"

Qin Shi stroked the little orange dog, it was soft and elastic, feeling very nice.

He had just sacrificed [Electronic Mind] to the [Divine Machine], in exchange for the skill unlock of [Hundred Refinements].

The emblem of the Divine Machine lit up suddenly, the reward passed through the Netherworld, cascading down layer by layer.

Qin Shi’s mind quivered slightly, guiding it into the inner realm.

The pillar god distributed the reward, unlike any other, directly giving him three golden cards to choose from.

[Binary Babble]

[Effect: By sending a vast stream of garbled data, causing the target system to fall into logical chaos, with a chance to trigger self-destruction, depending on the user’s electronic information reserve. During the attack, countless jumping 0s and 1s will appear on the target screen like digital epilepsy.]

"Seems like a hacker-specific skill."

Qin Shi was slightly startled, he pondered seriously and decided to discard it.

He himself did not have much information reserve, and playing such hacker attacks in Heng Province would not leverage its strengths.

He discarded the golden card and continued to look at the next one.

[Protocol Wormhole]

[Effect: Creating loopholes in communication protocols, infiltrating defenses disguised as legitimate data packets, but generating a sound like worms gnawing during system intrusion.]

"This one seems okay."

Qin Shi pondered for a while, somewhat hesitated, and did not discard it immediately, thinking it might be useful in the future.

[Electronic Engineering]

[Effect: Simulating target behavior patterns through brain computation, perfectly disguising as a credible user, capable of fabricating content in databases, and patching loopholes.]

"Simply an innate Holy Body for electronic fraud."

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched, he finally chose [Electronic Engineering], which worked well with the cracked software of the little orange dog, allowing him to navigate the Dark Web with different identities.

After selecting, the focus of the Divine Machine descended, enveloping the inner realm.

The thunderous roar echoed, shaking the Consciousness Space.

Qin Shi firmly held onto his mind, waiting for the vast stream of information to merge into his spirit, and then transformed into achievements through the Monument Panel.

On the panel, another marble monument rose from the ground, imprinted with the emblem of the Divine Machine.

"[Electronic Engineering] along with you, this little Electronic Demon dog."

Qin Shi squeezed the little orange dog, its antenna-like tail stood straight like it was fully charged.

Its white belly glowed, slowly forming another new cracked software.

[Entropy Sea Bank]

Qin Shi curiously opened it.

He had never heard of this bank before.

Beep!

"Verifying identity, creating account, logging in..."

Qin Shi thought for a moment, simply "stealing" Qin Yixiong’s identity to use, so that even if traced back, he wouldn’t be caught.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin, on becoming a distinguished customer of Entropy Sea Bank."

A gentle female voice directly transmitted through the little orange dog into Qin Shi’s ear.

"It can even transmit messages directly across galaxies?"

Qin Shi was slightly surprised; then he asked in confusion:

"Why am I a distinguished customer? I just created the account."

The gentle female voice responded:

"Our bank has detected that your personal assets far exceed the average value."

Qin Shi opened the personal interface; he hadn’t even started saving yet, where did the assets come from?

The result was beyond his imagination.

It was a long string of zeros!

"Where did this money come from?"

Qin Shi was stunned, then looked closely.

He found that this Entropy Sea Bank could assess the "personal assets" of the account owner based on their potential over the next fifty years.

"Letting clients pledge their potential in exchange for currency to spend? This bank is pretty wild! Isn’t this just ’time loans’!"
