Chapter 103

Just this, can I understand it as I can just lie flat, use Killing Value to conjure an Avatar to help me kill enemies, likewise gain Martial Arts Experience, and then also gain Killing Value?

Shen Tianxing just asked rather boldly; he was waiting for Hong Yi to pour cold water, and indeed a basin of cold water fell again.

You're overthinking it; this Avatar indeed possesses all your martial arts equipment and Martial Dao Realm, but to gain Killing Value and Martial Arts Experience through this Avatar, you must stay within 30 zhang of it.

Beyond 30 zhang, it can help you kill enemies and do anything, but it cannot gain Killing Value or Martial Arts Experience; also, any mission target killed by the Avatar cannot be considered completed.

But there is a benefit: you can switch at any time, which is far more convenient for me, because there is no distance limit—even if he is in Jingcheng and you are in Leizhou, as long as you wish you can swap positions with him, though only once per day.

I was initially disappointed, but after Hong Yi explained further, Shen Tianxing became quite pleased; just this switching function is already powerful enough, and it has no distance restriction.

The only drawback is that traveling far consumes a huge amount of Killing Value: 12 two-hour periods require 100,000; from Leizhou to Jingcheng, even with nonstop fast horse riding, it takes at least 15 days, which would be 1,500,000; for now, long-distance travel is not advocated.

However, Shen Tianxing came up with a good plan: first he gallops nonstop for a day and night, then rests, summons the Avatar, makes it gallop nonstop for a day and night, then performs the switch, and recalls the Avatar.

He himself continues the journey, thus saving half the Killing Value; this is excellent for long-distance travel, and if he simultaneously launches assaults on two cities, Shen Tianxing can switch, thereby completing both missions at once.

Thinking of this, Shen Tianxing immediately equipped the Avatar Yupai, then infused it with 100,000 points of Killing Value. The Avatar Yupai instantly transformed into an exact replica of him, down to his equipment, forming an Avatar.

Shen Tianxing could clearly feel that the person standing opposite him was actually himself, since their thoughts and bodies are linked. Moreover, as soon as Shen Tianxing has a thought, the other can immediately act upon it.

"Hello, I am Shen Tianxing's Avatar; you can call me Shen Tianzhen."

"Not bad, very good; indeed you look quite innocent."

Shen Tianxing controlled the Avatar to converse with himself, even changing its face to that of Sun Zhongquan, bearing in mind he was equipped with the Wuxiang Mask.

"As expected, the system detects that men from your world all have juvenile souls, which is correct; is it really that amusing to talk to yourself?"

Hong Yi complained, but Shen Tianxing just smiled indifferently.

"You also say that men from our world have juvenile souls; then you should know how many people have watched One Qi Transforms into Three Purities."

"Although this Avatar Yupai isn't that powerful, it's not far off; it merely lacks self-awareness, but I think this is better, for with self-awareness it might someday turn against me, its original master."

"The system you mention seems to have it, but it still needs many upgrades, and even if available in this world it would be roughly equivalent to the Avatar Yupai."

Hong Yi answered casually, and Shen Tianxing felt a mix of laughter and tears.

"No, your system's functions are too many, and it has everything? Even if this world is mighty, it's clearly only at the high martial arts level; I don't cultivate immortality either, so what use are these?"

Shen Tianxing complained, saying that according to Hong Yi the system has everything, even One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, but this is neither a cultivation nor a mythological world!

"Your current clearance is insufficient, and I cannot tell you anything; only say that when the system upgrades to a certain level and you reach a certain height, you will be able to answer your questions."

"Remember, the system is generated through you; its generation mode is game mode. Think carefully: haven't many games you've played, after updates, become completely different and nearly omnipotent?"

After hearing this, Shen Tianxing's mind raced, ultimately leaving you with only one answer: perhaps after he unifies Shenzhou or reaches the Land Immortal realm, a new world may emerge.

"Stop daydreaming; your father-in-law has arrived, already outside the Taishou Fu, bearing great gifts to see Old Master Yang."

Hong Yi finished speaking and left; indeed, as soon as she departed, a messenger ran in, knelt on one knee on the ground, and reported.

"Sir, the Zhenxi General Yue Yunyang has arrived, requesting an audience with you, and also to see Old Master Yang."

"Fine, bring him in and treat him well; I'll go over now, and also let Old Master Yang know."

"Yes, sir!"

The messenger quickly withdrew, busying himself as per Shen Tianxing's orders; Shen Tianxing drank a cup of tea, then leisurely headed to the front hall of the Taishou Fu.

"Greetings, General Yue; your esteemed presence honors us, sorry for the distant welcome, please forgive."

Shen Tianxing still managed to arrive a step ahead of Yang Tieqiang; there was no help for it—this old man was putting on airs, slowly walking from the rear garden, and wouldn't arrive for a while.

"Greetings, Governor; I never expected your official rank to rise so swiftly—just after entering the city, someone announced an Imperial Edict to the whole city, and next they'll likely take the Edict to other cities."

Yue Yunyang clasped his hands upon seeing Shen Tianxing; his words sounded a bit resentful, for the Governor holds a proper Third-Rank Official Rank, a position Yue Yunyang has held as a general his whole life, whereas he is merely a Deputy Third-Rank Zhenxi General.

Even if this so-called Governor lacks legitimacy, the Imperial Edict is genuine—who could claim Shen Tianxing is false?

"I merely helped the young emperor a little, arranging for someone to save his life; I don't know if General Yue thinks exchanging the young emperor's life for a governorship leaves anyone at a loss."

Shen Tianxing won't stand for it, and furthermore, straightforward people don't speak in veiled terms; he has no respect for the young emperor, and likewise is not polite toward Yue Yunyang.

Even though this person before me will soon become my father-in-law, he is also about to become my subordinate; if I were courteous, I'd forever be just a son-in-law.

Yue Yunyang was momentarily speechless; the emperor's command alone—let alone a governorship—would be more than enough to ennoble a prince, and as for Shen Tianxing's disrespect toward the emperor, that is common knowledge; Yue Yunyang didn't add anything further.

"Governor, you are truly capable; this time you came mainly to see Old Master Yang—I wonder if the Governor would allow me to visit his elder?"

Shen Tianxing smiled and said nothing, mainly because Yang Tieqiang had already arrived, walking in slowly, he glared at Yue Yunyang and spoke harshly:

"Come over to deliver the dowry; if you intend to marry off your daughter, just say it straight—using that old man as a shield, you brat are getting more shameless; do you have an issue with the son-in-law the old man helped you find, or with the old man himself?"
