The transcendent Henry Parker had indeed entered a state of mastery in his cultivation technique.

However, Director Brooks overestimated him.

Henry Parker's comprehension was decent, but still fell short of being truly exceptional.

Even at the entry level of the Bihsui Divine Art, he struggled to operate it, always feeling it lacked smoothness.

Just as he was about to pass out from the pain for a second time, the system responded.

[Spend demon-hunting bonus, convertible to Krypton Points.]

[Current Krypton Points: one hundred million.]

[Detected: "Bihsui Divine Art" is a nine-star divine art. Spend ten million Krypton Points to advance to the first minor achievement stage.]

Henry Parker's heart leapt with joy, a lifeline in desperate straits.

These Krypton Points weren't calculated by how much money he had in his account, but by how much he had spent.

His first demon-hunting bonus from the system was spent in the hospital, converting into one hundred million Krypton Points.

Once he understood the setup, Chubby quickly used his mind to control the system.

[Upgrade successful. Bihsui Divine Art stage: First Minor Achievement.]

[Remaining Krypton Points: ninety million.]

The experiment was a success, a bullseye on the first try.

At the minor achievement stage, the technique felt a bit smoother, and the pain in his body was reduced by half.

He decided to go all the way and continued his behind-the-scenes operations.

[Spend twenty million Krypton Points. Bihsui Divine Art stage: First Major Achievement.]

[Remaining Krypton Points: seventy million.]

At the major achievement stage, the divine art became extremely smooth, triggering a qualitative change.

The moment his bones restructured, a substance similar to a nutrient solution was automatically produced, greatly reducing his pain.

Henry Parker felt like he was getting a massage, receiving a professional therapist's touch—some pain, but also a bit of pleasure.

He completed one full cycle of energy circulation, once again overcoming his difficulties with Krypton Points.

[Spend forty million Krypton Points. Bihsui Divine Art stage: First Perfection.]

[Remaining Krypton Points: thirty million.]

An incredible miracle occurred—the Bihsui Divine Art began to operate automatically.

Note: it was running automatically.

This is the marvel of the great perfection stage; the technique could be operated during battle to restore power, and even while sleeping, it would continue to cultivate on its own.

The perfected first stage of the divine art was far more than just smooth—it operated in a way that perfectly aligned with the laws of nature, flowing like water.

The human body itself is a treasure trove. Under the guidance of the divine art, Henry Parker's body was transformed according to an optimal plan.

The surging Bihsui energy was mostly consumed in the process.

Henry Parker opened his heart, accepting the nourishment of the Bihsui energy.

He truly achieved transcendence, as if his soul had left his body, completely unable to feel any physical pain.

During this process, he experienced the power of the Bihsui energy.

Just a single drop was enough to transform him completely.

With the divine art at great perfection, it operated smoothly and naturally, entering an "autopilot" mode.

Chubby freed his hands and started studying other things.

[Each stage of perfection in the Bihsui Divine Art activates a divine ability.]

[Reach nine stages of great perfection to master nine divine abilities.]

[Current first stage of perfection, activated divine ability: Bihsui True Qi.]

[Bihsui True Qi: Transform your own magical power into protective true qi, using minimal force to deflect great power and neutralize external damage. The amount of damage you can neutralize is related to the concentration of magical power you unleash. When this true qi reaches major achievement, it can cause a rebound effect.]

[Note: The current Bihsui True Qi is at the entry level. The divine ability must be comprehended on your own and cannot be upgraded with Krypton Points.]

A divine ability!

Henry Parker had actually mastered a legendary divine ability!

And it was an extremely rare life-saving ability. Back in the day, if Chubby had possessed such protective true qi, he wouldn't have been hospitalized dozens of times with serious injuries.

Chubby was overjoyed. As a frequent hospital visitor, what he wanted most was a life-saving divine ability, and Bihsui True Qi had directly fulfilled his wish.

Having understood the secret of divine abilities, he began to study the new feature unlocked in System 2.0: Krypton Points.

Based on the current information, Krypton Points were equivalent to skill points in a game.

As long as you had enough Krypton Points, you could max out your skills.

The remaining thirty million Krypton Points made Chubby restless with excitement.

He had a passionate idea: once he learned a spell, he could use Krypton Points to upgrade it to the highest level—wouldn't that allow him to instantly defeat a monster in one move?

Once this thought appeared, he couldn't suppress it.

In the past, fighting monsters as a mere mortal, he had suffered too many injuries and illnesses.

If he could defeat them in a single move, his life would enter an entirely new stage.

……

Chubby still didn't know how much of a stir his awakening had caused.

In a downtown skyscraper, the sign read: Shenzhou Information Company.

This company was unique, specializing in handling criminal cultivators and rampaging great demons.

In the office sat a legendary man.

He was in his early thirties, with an ancient, rugged face, bent over his desk reviewing documents.

When he heard a knock at the door, he suddenly looked up, instantly becoming a different person.

Two streams of sword intent, condensed and unbroken, flowed in his deep eyes.

His name was Michael Bolton, known in the martial world as Leshan Divine Sword.

One of the Seven Sword Immortals of Mount Shu, he was one of them.
