My Crazy Upgrade System

"How could someone have snuck in? Are the guards blind?!"

A rugged-looking man stared coldly at the large gate. They were taking turns attacking it, trying to destroy the Divine Runes on its surface. Under the frenzied assault, the Divine Runes were gradually dimming. It looked like they wouldn’t take much longer to break.

With so many experts taking turns, it would be a total disgrace if they couldn’t even break down a single gate.

Although the Divine Runes here were tough, they weren’t at the Creator level, so breaking them wasn’t excessively difficult.

"I-I don’t know..." The patrol guards trembled, all of them afraid of being punished.

SLAP!

A heavy slap sent the patrol guard flying. He slammed against the wall and died on the spot.

"Don’t know? Besides ’don’t know,’ what else can you say?" This rugged man was Ba Long. Dragon Scales could be seen clinging to his body; rumor had it that he was an expert who possessed a Dragon Bloodline.

Unlike other Cultivators who absorbed Dragon Blood to strengthen themselves, he was a dragon himself! A Dragon Person, an expert with draconic blood.

"Ba Long, their cultivation is so low, what could they possibly find out? Even Men Hu was killed. The intruders must be at the Spirit King Stage. How could these guards possibly have detected them?" Ming Chen, who was standing beside him, stepped forward. His gaze was cold as he looked ahead and said, "I just find it strange how they managed to sneak in. The guards outside are completely fine. The fact that they waltzed in without anyone getting killed is truly bizarre."

"Could they have some special method, or maybe a secret passage, that lets them enter at will?" asked a burly man standing nearby. He had ox horns on his head—one glance was enough to identify him as Niu Tuntian. His mouth wasn’t particularly large, but he knew an astonishing Martial Art that allowed him to devour anything!

It was because he cultivated such a powerful devouring Martial Art that he called himself Niu Tuntian, as if he could swallow the very heavens.

"It’s possible!" Ba Long said coldly. "They didn’t just kill Men Hu; they also broke into this Demon Beast Cage. What on earth is their goal?! If they kill the Demon Beasts we worked so hard to tame, we’ll be in deep trouble. The Celestial Nether Saint Master will definitely punish us!"

Niu Tuntian shivered. Even if he claimed to be able to swallow the heavens, when faced with the Celestial Nether Saint Master, he would be nothing more than roast beef.

"To think we just came over to check on the situation here, and we run into something like this..." Ming Chen said in a low voice. "What power, what expert, would risk death to break in here?"

They thought about it but couldn’t pinpoint any specific power. There were many powerful factions, and they had offended quite a few, so it was impossible to guess.

"No matter what power they’re from, if they kill our Demon Beasts, they’re dead men!" Ba Long clenched his fist and smashed it into the gate. Terrifying Dragon Power erupted from his fist, crashing violently against the door.

With a loud RUMBLE, the entire gate shuddered violently, but it remained unshakable.

"Hmph, they won’t be able to escape. We’ve already laid a Heaven and Earth Net. If they can get away even with that, then we really don’t have a place here anymore!" Niu Tuntian was furious. His brother Men Hu had been killed, and they had only found out when they went looking for him later.

They launched a swift investigation and immediately noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late. The intruders were already hiding behind the gate, and for the moment, it couldn’t be broken down.

Ming Chen and the others just shrugged and pitched in to help break down the gate.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A continuous barrage of explosions sounded from outside, each strike on the sturdy gate also pounding against their hearts. However, they remained relatively calm. Anyone else would probably just be waiting for death.

There were no other exits besides the main gate, so anyone else would truly have no idea what to do except wait for death.

"Listen up, you people inside! I advise you to surrender obediently and not to touch those Demon Beasts. Otherwise, you’ll wish you were dead!" Ba Long’s voice boomed from outside, a full-throated roar.

"And if we surrender, what will you do?" Yi Tianyun yelled back casually while capturing the last few Demon Beasts.

"If you surrender, we’ll leave you with an intact corpse!" Ba Long said coldly.

"Then only an idiot would agree to that!" Yi Tianyun laughed loudly. Surrendering only to get an "intact corpse"? No one would accept such a deal.

They had killed Men Hu; getting out of this alive was impossible. By breaking in, they had brought shame upon the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom. How could they possibly be allowed to leave?

"I advise you to surrender obediently. Ba was just joking with you. As long as you surrender peacefully and accompany us on a trip to the Celestial Nether Imperial City, how you are punished will be the Celestial Nether Saint Master’s business, not ours." Ming Chen’s voice drifted in from outside as he began to try persuasion.

Ba Long’s own brother was dead, so he was naturally seething with rage. How could he possibly speak nicely to trick them? Ming Chen was different. After slightly placating Ba Long, he began his attempt at coaxing them out.

"Idiot, do you take me for a three-year-old? Get lost and go wherever you want!" Yi Tianyun was extremely annoyed with Ming Chen and immediately started lashing out.

"What? You dare call me an idiot! You pieces of trash, you think you’re safe hiding in there, don’t you? Just wait until this gate is broken! Then you can just wait for death!" Ming Chen instantly flew into a rage. Who had ever dared to curse him to his face?

The sounds of attacks on the gate continued to ring out. They wanted to break it down even faster, but based on the current situation, it would hold for at least a few more days.

The Divine Runes on the gate could be broken, but that didn’t mean it could be done easily in just a couple of hours.

"Calling you an idiot is putting it lightly. I don’t know how your mother gave birth to a moron like you. Hurry up and crawl back to her for your milk!" Yi Tianyun fired off another taunt to provoke Ming Chen.

"Good, good, good! You piece of trash, just you wait!" Ming Chen was utterly infuriated and started smashing the gate even more ferociously than Ba Long and the others.

Elder Luo and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. ’Why is Yi Tianyun’s cursing so vicious?’

Soon, Yi Tianyun had collected all the Demon Beasts into his pet slot. Over a thousand Demon Beasts had been captured just like that, and he gained a massive amount of experience—it was an explosion!

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for successfully breaking through to the eighth level of the Void Spirit Stage!"

This breakthrough speed was simply unrivaled. He had captured over a thousand Demon Beasts, each providing around a million experience points. He had gained over a billion experience points in total, directly causing him to level up.

"Ding! Congratulations to Player ’Yi Tianyun’ for completing the achievement ’Capture Demon’ and obtaining the title ’Capture Master’!"

Capture Master: Increases capture success rate by 20%!

The string of rewards made him exclaim in delight. ’Leveling up this easily is just insane!’
