What do Itachi mean by ‘Sixth Seat’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what is your purpose in coming here? Answer to my satisfaction, and Itachi’ll die quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Wang Yi, Jiang Xia’s youthful, delicate face appeared as a demon from hell, a vengeful ghost come to claim his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer defiant, Wang Yi trembled as he confessed everything to Jiang Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… am a peripheral member of the Demon God Cult. The Sixth Seat and Fifth Seat are rankings within our Jianglin branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We came here to kill the fourth-rank Azure-Eyed Demon Monkey guarding the Spirit Pool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We planned to swiftly slay the guardian, but the commotion attracted most of the outer forest’s beasts—and that fifth-rank Diamond Monkey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Aren’t Itachi the beasts’ servants? Why do Itachi hunt them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We merely cooperate with the Beast God—we don’t bow to them,” Wang Yi hurriedly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, killing beasts occasionally yields extremely rare Spirit Cores—containers that store their energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Spirit Core of a high-rank beast is worth more than a hundred Spirit Stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve told Itachi everything I know. Please, give me a quick death,” Wang Yi pleaded humbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia said nothing more, gripped the Kusanagi Sword, and with a flash of cold light, pierced it through Wang Yi’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the life drain from Wang Yi’s eyes, Jiang Xia activated his Transformation Technique; the next second, his face had become Wang Yi’s exact likeness as he walked toward the Spirit Pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally! Took Itachi long enough to get a Spirit Stone?” The Sixth Seat, disguised as a Grand Master, glared impatiently at “Wang Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia mimicked Wang Yi’s tone, scratched his head, and offered an apologetic smile. “Ran into a little trouble on the way, but it’s all resolved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough chatter!” The Sixth Seat didn’t press further, turning to shout at the others. “Wang Yi and Wang Er, take aim! Everyone else, keep this beast occupied with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the Sixth Seat and over a dozen Cult members activated their abilities, relentlessly restraining the Diamond Monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and Wang Er prepared their laser cannons. Just as Wang Er adjusted his firing angle, he felt a chill at his neck and stared in disbelief at Jiang Xia’s cold gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia activated Shinra Tensei and swiftly stored Wang Er’s corpse in the space, then used the Clone Technique to create a perfect duplicate of Wang Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This entire sequence took less than ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia inserted the fifteen Spirit Stones Su Changfeng had given him, gripped the laser cannon, aimed it at both the Cult members and the Diamond Monkey, and fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” A violent explosion ripped through the forest; the Diamond Monkey, immobilized by the Cult and too large to dodge, was blown into a bloody pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen or so Cult members had no time to react—they were instantly vaporized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth Seat, sensing danger at the last moment and dodging with his Grand Master instincts, still suffered the blast’s shockwave, losing half his body to shredded flesh and bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are Itachi?!” The Sixth Seat clutched his wound, glaring fiercely at the “Wang Yi” before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice seethed with rage. “How dare Itachi sabotage the Demon God Cult? Itachi’ve sealed your own death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia said nothing. His Sharingan opened, crimson veins spreading across his eyes as black-red blood trickled from his corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amaterasu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sixth Seat’s eyes widened in terror—his body, too wounded to move, was engulfed as dark flames erupted from his arm and spread across his entire frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Just fire! I’m a Water-attribute adept! Tide’s Wrath—Tsunami!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of seawater surged from his hands toward the black flames—only to evaporate instantly upon contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!” The Sixth Seat screamed in disbelief. “Water suppresses fire! And Itachi’re only an Awakening-stage cultivator! Why can’t my ability extinguish your flames?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared desperately as his body gradually turned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia understood: he’d struck down a man three ranks above him not just because the laser cannon had crippled him, but because the Grand Master’s arrogance had blinded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he severed the burning flesh the moment the flames touched him, Amaterasu would have been extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Grand Master never believed an Awakening-stage cultivator could harm even a mortally wounded Grand Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the carnage, Jiang Xia’s tense body finally revolted—he vomited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d felt nauseated since killing Wang Yi, but only now, faced with this scene, did the revulsion explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Jiang Xia’s first time killing anyone—in both his past and present lives—and he’d killed dozens. Though they were all vile criminals, the visceral discomfort of his first massacre was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert: Host has slain a fifth-rank beast. Reward: 5,000 points. Points Store unlocked.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll check it later,” Jiang Xia shut off the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After regaining his composure, he rose and approached the Spirit Pool, watching the Cult members scramble for its waters. “System, can I directly absorb the pool’s spiritual energy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[With your current physical condition, Itachi can absorb only a portion. The remaining pool water can be converted into points by the system.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Consider it, Host.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes. “Itachi sneaky system—trying to skim off a cut?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How could I ever do such a thing? Just a tiny processing fee. Itachi’ve seen how hard I work—let me earn a little, okay?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia grimaced at the system’s mechanical whining, but, acknowledging its consistent aid, reluctantly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia leapt into the pool, closed his eyes, and began absorbing the spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, it was noon the next day. He opened his status panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host]: Jiang Xia\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Realm]: Peak Cultivator (1750\u002F2050)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ability]: SSS-Rank Mangekyō Sharingan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills]: Mangekyō Sharingan (Dual Shinra Tensei), Mangekyō Sharingan (Amaterasu), Mangekyō Sharingan (Tsukuyomi)—freely switchable, Transformation Technique (can deceive cultivators up to three ranks higher), Clone Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, Lightning Release: Thousand Birds\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Physique]: 230 Qi\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Items]: Explosion Tags ×30, Kunai ×50, 20,000 Chinese Yuan, Rations ×1, Icha Icha Paradise by Jiraiya, Shuriken ×30\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ninja Tools]: Kusanagi Sword\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Points]: (Spirit Pool absorbed)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lottery Tickets]: None\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at his cultivation progress, Jiang Xia grimaced.

Your innate talent and foundation far surpass peers—slightly higher progress is inevitable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with the system’s aid, absorbing spiritual energy was far faster and purer than ordinary cultivators. Jiang Xia had to accept the reality: even as a “commoner,” his cultivation burned through resources faster than anyone else’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the scattered beast carcasses—yet not a single Spirit Core among them—he couldn’t help but complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cult of evil gods has terrible luck and treatment—there's not a single valuable item on the great martial master, let alone those who were blown to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Xia returned home, charged his phone, and immediately received a call from Wang Teng. The moment he answered, he heard screaming on the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xia! Help! The Psychic Aptitude Exam is tomorrow! My parents bought me a pile of enhancement potions, but I’m still only at Peak Awakening!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Itachi hear? God of War gave Ye’s girlfriend a King-rank beast’s Spirit Core!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yang Wei’s parents rented him the top-tier training room at the Treasure Appraisal Guild—apparently it costs dozens of Spirit Stones per day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do? Are we already losing before the race even starts? Oh, by the way, what’s your current realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peak Cultivator,” Jiang Xia replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Cultivator? No worries—I’m just… wait, what?! Peak Cultivator?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xia, did Itachi chew on a mountain of Spirit Stones? How the hell did Itachi go from Awakening to Peak Cultivator in just a few days?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia covered his ear. “Something like that. A bit of extra resources. Anyway, I’m going back to training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hung up quickly—knowing Wang’s personality, the fat guy would’ve grilled him all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying in bed, Jiang Xia suddenly remembered the newly opened Points Store and called out: “System, open the store.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding~ Store opened for Host.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the store’s contents, Jiang Xia froze—not because of rare techniques, but because of the prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell?! Ten-Prison Sword: 300,000 points? Mangekyō Sharingan: 1,000,000? Are Itachi trying to rob me?
