Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Graded Exchange Skills

```

With one step, he stomped Dugu Yifang to death, and Tang Lin didn't even feel it. He was solely focused on pursuing the Sword Saint and didn't pay attention to who was underfoot, anyway, those from the World Association all deserved death.

However, the Sword Saint ran too fast. By the time Tang Lin got back on his feet, the Sword Saint was already out of sight.

Perhaps Meditation Sensing could detect the Sword Saint's footsteps, but Tang Lin understood that he couldn't catch up. The old man ran really fast; unless Tang Lin learned a Qinggong technique, he truly couldn't catch up.

After all, to the Sword Saint, this road with undulating heights was like flat ground, allowing for brief bursts. For Tang Lin, it was a rugged path. Unless he knew parkour, it was impossible to run at full speed.

Only when the distance extended to over a thousand kilometers could Tang Lin possibly overtake the Sword Saint.

It was like Qiao Feng competing with Duan Yu in Qinggong. In short distances, Qiao Feng was no match for Light Water Micro Steps, but as the distance lengthened, Duan Yu's inner strength would be inadequate and Qiao Feng would surpass him.

Tang Lin did consider giving chase again; after all, eradicating the root is the transmigrator's style. As long as the Sword Saint remained within his sensing range, he couldn't escape the pursuit.

However, just as he lifted his leg to chase again, Tang Lin heard the unemotional voice of the system: "The mission to slay Xiong Ba has been completed. You will return in thirty seconds. You can consume Wish Power to extend your stay, with every 100 Wish Power points increasing your stay by 1 hour."

"Come on, Xiong Ba, can't you be a little tougher, at least you're the major boss of the early stages of The Storm Riders!"

There was nothing to be done. Thirty seconds was truly not enough to catch him, and as for spending Wish Power to chase the Sword Saint, it was too unworthy. Wish Power was crucial for exchanging skills; Tang Lin couldn't bear to part with it.

Giving the finger in the direction the Sword Saint fled, Tang Lin vanished into the air in displeasure.

When it all calmed down, Shi Wuzun, face covered with blood, crawled out from the ruins and made a praying gesture toward the unrecognizable bloody remains.

"Amitabha, greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

Shi Wuzun realized the truth of the situation when he saw Tang Lin chasing the Sword Saint. Dugu Yifang had schemed extensively, wanting to reap the benefits as a bystander, only to die a miserable death without a corpse remaining. The saying stood true, greed for wealth leads to death like a bird seeking food.

Only, it was unknown where the Kua Fu the Giant disappeared to, and whether it would cause trouble again for Wushuang City. With a sigh, Shi Wuzun decided to leave Wushuang City. With Dugu Yifang dead, he resolved to truly become a monk devoted to Buddhism.

This time, when Tang Lin descended into The Storm Riders world, he killed Xiong Ba and Dugu Yifang. Nie Feng's father, Nie Renwang, was still alive and had even increased his power, probably personally raising Nie Feng. At this point, Xiong Ba hadn't yet had the chance to send someone to kill Bu Jingyun's family, so the child remained a happy and wealthy heir.

The main storyline had been completely altered by Tang Lin, leaving the future developments unknown.

Naturally, Tang Lin didn't think so much about it. He had just returned to the real world, appearing in a mall's restroom. He had lied to his parents, claiming he was going out to see a movie, when in fact, he just ducked into the restroom to transmigrate.

Checking the watch he left behind, Tang Lin had specifically bought this electronic watch for timing, a cheap thirty-dollar item. Comparing it to his phone, Tang Lin was surprised to find that while he stayed in The Storm Riders world for nearly seven days, less than ten minutes had passed in the real world.

"So no matter how long I stay in a different world, only about ten minutes pass in the real world?" This discovery delighted Tang Lin, meaning he wouldn't have to go to so much trouble for future transmigrations, he could do it directly at home without needing to take this gear outside.

Looking down at his now beggar-like sweatpants, Tang Lin couldn't help but curse, "Dugu Sword Saint, is it? Next time, don't let me see you, I'll hammer your head in and kick your balls to bits!"

The Sword Qi from Dugu Sword Saint had left dozens of crosshatching scars on Tang Lin's legs. Although most had scabbed over and healed, and some scars had even disappeared, the sweatpants were completely ruined, stained a deep red by the blood from the wounds.

In this state, if someone saw him, they would likely mistakenly think Tang Lin had been involved in some unspeakable deed leading to massive bleeding.

He first took off the now completely destroyed sweatpants, then took a new pair out of his backpack to change into. Knowing there was a chance of sleeping rough in a different world, Tang Lin had prepared two additional sets of clothes, now coming in handy.

He wrapped the bloody pants in a plastic bag, intending to throw them in a trash bin after he left.

Standing in the stall, Tang Lin waited for the wounds on his legs to fully heal, needing the scars to completely disappear before returning home. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his parents.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Lin reviewed the harvest from this transmigration.

"Mission completed, you receive a Wish Power reward of 1,000 points. Successfully completing the mission, the Summoner's satisfaction is 70%, grant an additional 700 Wish Power points."

He hadn't exceeded the mission requirements, and Nie Renwang's satisfaction with Tang Lin was only 70%.

Tang Lin couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Nie, if you're dissatisfied, tell me, if you don't say it, how can I help you? Damn it, working in the service industry, next time I transmigrate I must ask clearly if there are any shortcomings."

Nie Renwang had used Ao Han Six Techniques to summon Tang Lin for help, and the Secret Manual had also been given to Tang Lin. However, the manual, like the Dwarf gold coins, had been miniaturized. To Tang Lin, it seemed no bigger than sesame seeds, and he wondered if the words and images could be seen even with a microscope.

Tang Lin sighed and put it away; he figured he couldn't read the manual himself and would have to wait for Oro to learn Chinese to translate it for him.

Luckily, he was smart, having Nie Renwang teach him the Ice Heart Technique and the first move of Ao Han Six Techniques earlier, or else he'd have suffered a major loss.

Checking the total Wish Power.

Before this transmigration, Tang Lin had 1,050 Wish Power remaining. When connected to Nie Renwang, he was awarded 100 points, then received 1,000 points for accepting the mission. The mission completion netted him 1,700 points. However, midway, he spent 35 Wish Power points for barrier-free communication with Nie Renwang during cultivation.

Consequently, the final residual Wish Power was 3,815 points!

Not bad, he earned quite a bit.

He wondered if these Wish Power points could exchange for useful skills. The skills exchange list provided by the previous X-Men world had been reset, replaced with the martial arts skills list from The Storm Riders world.

However, just seeing the description of the first exchangable skill, Tang Lin was stunned.

[Bronze/Gold Skill: Heavenly Frost Fist lv1/max,]

[Skill Source: Fengyun Plane, Xiong Ba,]

[Skill Effect: The exquisite boxing skills mastered by martial arts hero Xiong Ba. The fist force is deep and cold, reaching mastery allows snow to fall in June, invincible in defeating the enemy.]

[Remark: This is a growth skill, and its power can be enhanced through self-practice. Therefore, the initial effect is only at bronze level; upon mastery, it is a gold level skill. With Xiong Ba's talent, it took him decades to master fully; it's advised that ordinary people do not waste their time.]

[Skill Exchange Price: 100 Wish Power points/10,000 Wish Power points, due to originating from an enemy formation species, a 50% increase in Wish Power for exchange is required. Actual Price: 150 Wish Power points/15,000 Wish Power points.]

This time's exchange list actually included levels!
