WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 13: Newfound Strength

For the first time since his demotion from the Inner Sect, Reon stepped into his new abode in the Outer Sect—a humble, cramped space that now served as his home.

Compared to the grand chambers of the Inner Sect, this place was nothing, yet after surviving his deadly encounter with the Glacier Fang Wolf in the Frost Mountain Cave, it felt like a sanctuary.

That battle had pushed him to his limits, a brutal test of both will and strength. Now, as he crossed the threshold, the quiet stillness of the room wrapped around him like a balm, easing the tension in his weary body.

Exhaling deeply, Reon sank to the floor, the weight of his ordeal pressing against him. His limbs ached from exertion, but his mind was sharp—restless with curiosity.

He needed to see the results of his struggle, to confirm the growth he had earned through blood and perseverance.

Closing his eyes, he took a steady breath and activatedhis skill, directing it toward himself.

"Identify"

A soft glow shimmered around him as the familiar status window materialized before his eyes, revealing the essence of his progress.

.

.

Reon's gaze swept over the window, his fingers unconsciously curling into a fist.

He had survived. He had endured. And now, his growth was undeniable.

The once unstable cultivation had stabilized, and even his trait had changed—from Bootlicker to Resolute.

A smirk played at his lips.

At least that bastard Xue Taiyang finally has some dignity now.

While his Power, Mana, Mystic Qi, Divine Qi, and Death Qi remained unchanged, he didn't mind.

Yet, some things still puzzled him.

His cultivation, skills and techniques remained mysteriously sealed.

What had truly caused the sealing of his abilities? What force had bound him so completely?

Who was behind this? And for what purpose?

Reon couldn't shake the feeling that Xue Taiyang's past was far more complicated than he had imagined.

The novel had never mentioned any of this—no "sealing," no unknown powers, nothing.

For now, however, the mystery would have to wait.

Strength was what mattered most.

With that thought, he turned his attention to the second reward he had received from completing his mission.

His heartbeat quickened with anticipation as he summoned his Inventory and examined the details of the item.

[Technique Insight Ticket]

Rank: Low-Tier Rare-Grade

Description: A shimmering talisman imbued with an otherworldly glow. This precious artifact grants the holder insight into a complete Low-Tier Rare-Grade technique, unveiling its intricacies and secrets.

However, the extent of enlightenment depends solely on the user's own comprehension and talent.

Like a key unlocking a hidden door, this ticket holds the promise of power—waiting for the right hands to grasp it.

.

.

Reon's lips curled into a grin.

This was perfect.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

The Technique Insight Ticket would allow him to refine his Beast Controlling Technique, which was crucial if he wanted to tame the Mist Cloud Fox.

That beast alone was strong enough to rival a Peak Stage Qi-Solidification Realm cultivator—an invaluable ally.

The prospect of forging a bond with such a powerful ally thrilled him, igniting his determination to master this technique.

To fully master a technique, every cultivator must progress through several stages: Beginner Stage, Early Stage, Intermediate Stage, Advanced Stage, Master Stage, Grandmaster Stage, and and finally, the Pinnacle Stage.

Even a Common-Grade technique, if cultivated to the Pinnacle Stage, could far surpass a Rare-Grade technique at only the Early Stage.

Ultimately, everything depends on one's ability to comprehend and fully grasp the technique.

Reon's eye twitched in frustration.

And that bastard, Xue Taiyang!

Despite possessing a Low-Tier Rare-Grade beast-controlling technique—Soulbound Beast Command—he couldn't even cultivate it to the Early Stage properly.

What the hell had that fool been doing with his life?!

No cultivation, no dedication, no effort—just wasting his days idling around, squandering his potential!

Unbelievable!

Fucking Lazy Asshole!

Reon cursed Xue Taiyang in his heart for causing him so much trouble.

Then—

Shaking his head, Reon clenched his fists.

No more wasted potential.

Without another moment's hesitation, he activated the Technique Insight Ticket and prepared to cultivate the Soulbound Beast Command.
