God-Like Extraction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the alley.

Su Jingxing walked briskly, looking around from time to time to check for security cameras on the walls and at corners.

He passed through seven to eight alleys, constantly keeping an eye out for security cameras.

Then, he went into an empty corner and dumped his wig in a trash bin.

He walked the length of two more alleys, still keeping a lookout for security cameras. When he made sure there were none, he took off his loose martial arts attire and tossed it in a trash bin too.

While he was at it, he also took off his human skin mask and slid it into the pockets of his casual wear. After that, he slowed down his pace and strolled out of the alley.

The impersonation of Duan Feihong was only a temporary strategy that was necessary for the deal.

Now that the first request had been fulfilled—not to mention Duan Feihong’s connection to the Dagger Gang massacre case—he would doubtlessly not use this identity again.

Whether or not Duan Feihong was the one who wiped out the Dagger Gang had nothing to do with Su Jingxing.

At a leisurely pace, he took a bus and returned to the small courtyard.

After closing the door, Su Jingxing immediately took out the card he had extracted.

He started with the outermost one, which had been obtained from Chen Xiaodao’s corpse.

A Skill Card!

Chen Xiaodao was a seventh-grade martial artist—it was natural to assume that his skills were nothing less than extraordinary.

Su Jingxing held the card to receive its descriptive information.

Colossal Divine Dagger!

At first glance, it seemed to be a dagger technique, but it was actually a hidden weapon technique.

Throwing daggers!

Throwing daggers were hidden weapons; a form of long-ranged attacks.

They were perfect for Su Jingxing—in fact, it even made up for one of his major weaknesses.

Why couldn’t ten seventh-grade martial artists beat a sixth-grade martial artist?

Because sixth-grade martial artists possessed true energy, which they could manipulate and apply to their martial arts and weapons, and in doing so, release true energy from a distance away.

Sword energy, saber energy, fist imprints, palm imprints…

These attacks could be released externally from tens of meters away.

If a seventh-grade martial artist could not dodge or evade such attacks, they wouldn’t be able to fight back, and would ultimately be killed!

Su Jingxing wasn’t any different.

No matter how much strength he had, how could he hurt his enemy if he couldn’t even hit them?

Colossal Divine Dagger perfectly compensated for this flaw.

The only fly in the ointment was that the card only contained partial content.

According to the description, Colossal Divine Dagger had three volumes.

They were correspondingly: Saber Control with Strength, Saber Control with Energy, and Saber Control with the Mind.

The card only documented the content of the first volume—Saber Control with Strength!

This wasn’t to say that the extraction had been incomplete. Rather, it was because Chen Xiaodao only knew this part.

He had only obtained the first volume of the Colossal Divine Dagger.

Whether or not he had mastered it remained unknown.

Su Jingxing went back into the house and searched up Chen Xiaodao online.

From the results, he learned that he had never used a throwing dagger technique in public.

There were two possibilities to explain that.

The first was that Chen Xiaodao was good at covering his tracks, and left no survivors to tell the tale whenever he used throwing daggers.

And the second was, Chen Xiaodao had not yet cultivated Colossal Divine Dagger successfully!

Su Jingxing carefully read through the descriptive information of this hidden weapon and discovered that the cultivation of the Colossal Divine Dagger wasn’t easy.

Colossal Divine Dagger.

The word “Colossal” alone signified its extraordinary nature.

Even the first condition to successfully cultivate it was something that wasn’t within the reach of ordinary martial artists.

Great strength!

That’s right—cultivating Colossal Divine Dagger required a lot of strength.

This did not refer to nourished strength generated from Internal Force, but raw physical strength. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Someone with Herculean strength!

The 1000, 3000, and 10,000 catties of strength of ninth-grade, eighth-grade, and seventh-grade martial artists respectively were all nourished and generated as a by-product when they tempered their bodies with Internal Force.

Every time they needed to generate power, they would need to use their internal energy to guide the process.

Under such circumstances, even if most martial artists obtained the Colossal Divine Dagger, it would be very difficult for them to successfully cultivate it.

Su Jingxing was different.

The Strength Pills he had been taking had given him pure physical strength, with each hand exceeding 7000 catties.

The Colossal Divine Dagger fit him like a glove.

That held true, even if he only had access to the first volume—Saber Control with Strength.

Once cultivated, every dagger thrown would be equivalent to a shell exploding.

This was the second layer of meaning of the word “Colossal”.

Of course, if he wanted every dagger to have the same impact as a shell, he would also need high-quality throwing daggers.

Ordinary throwing daggers cast from iron wouldn’t do.

Fortunately, Su Jingxing had obtained three of such daggers previously, which he had not had a chance to put to use.

As he had expected, his encounter with Chen Xiaodao had paid off.

It sure felt good to have obtained the Colossal Divine Dagger!

He unlocked the card and absorbed all the information in the first volume of the Colossal Divine Dagger.

After taking a short break, Su Jingxing took out the other cards and checked them one by one.

Essence Energy Card, Essence Energy Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Internal Force Card, Strength Enhancement Card…

Over a hundred Dagger Gang members had died at its headquarters.

Su Jingxing had extracted about 70 cards.

After checking them one by one, he realized that only some of the cards contained rewards like Essence Energy Cards, Strength Enhancement Cards, and Internal Force cards. Conversely, there were several Skill Cards.

Skill: Alcohol tolerance!

Skill: Motorcycle Riding, Car Repairing!

Skill: Mixology, Explosions, Make-up Skills, Beatboxing, Lock Picking!

What the… there was even a “Web Design” skill!

How… talented.

Seems like the Dagger Gang housed many talented individuals.

Su Jingxing’s mouth twitched in mild amusement as he went through these cards.

Until…

Requiem Cards?

Two of them, no less?

Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up. An astonished look came to his face.

Requiem Cards gave Spirit Accumulation Pills when unlocked.

Spirit Accumulation Pills were high-grade pills that could increase one’s soul power.

Su Jingxing was already very surprised when he extracted a Requiem Card from the corpses of the ten-man patrol team in Forest Town. He did not expect to extract it again.

And two of them, no less!

What’s going on here? Just what is the condition for extracting Requiem Cards?

Su Jingxing recalled the two incidents and discovered nothing out of the blues—other than the fact that they were all murdered. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

But they weren’t the only ones who got murdered.

The patrol team dying to a Corpse Puppet could still be considered a special event.

However, the members of the Dagger Gang were killed by the mysterious man who may or may not have been “Duan Feihong”!

This “Duan Feihong” couldn’t have been a Corpse Puppet, could he?

The massacre didn’t take place in the wild, and Corpse Puppets weren’t so tamed that they would limit their targets to Dagger Gang members.

The one controlling the corpse puppet was the Corpse-raising Devil Insect egg!

So far, no one has been able to control the Corpse-raising Devil Insect.

He was at a loss…

Even after much thought, Su Jingxing couldn’t figure out the key to the puzzle.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

In any case, acquiring Requiem Cards was a good thing.

He immediately unlocked them and received three Spirit Accumulation Pills.

Sweet. I didn’t think Requiem Card could produce multiple pills.

Su Jingxing’s face lit up. He popped a Spirit Accumulation Pill and stored away the remaining two.

After consuming the pill, the increase in soul power made Su Jingxing’s mind clearer, sharper, and more analytical.

Unsurprisingly, his card extraction range had increased once again.

As to the exact amount increased, he would only know after verifying it back at the crematorium.

The crematorium would always be accessible to him.

Hence, Su Jingxing was not in a hurry to go. Instead, he stayed at home and unlocked all the cards. He absorbed all the Internal Force Pills and all the skills. As for the Strength Pills and Essence Energy Pills, he stored them away separately.

When all was done, he headed to the crematorium’s canteen for chow.

After his meal, he found a corpse to experiment with. As expected, his extraction range had increased by yet another meter.

Although it wasn’t as much as last time, Su Jingxing was still overjoyed.

His shift on that day didn’t start until the latter part of midnight.

But Su Jingxing decided he might as well stay at the crematorium to help others.

When it was almost midnight, a call suddenly came in.

Then, both Corpse Collection Teams were deployed.

Su Jingxing included.

As he quickly got on the corpse transportation truck, he asked curiously, “Team Leader, what’s the situation?”

“A Black Tiger Gang branch had been completely wiped out!”
