Seeing Bear Tyrant and the others leave quickly, the crowd also left. But this matter quickly spread throughout the school, especially to Xia Ping's class — Senior Year Class 36 — and it was basically known by everyone.
After all, the person involved was someone from their class, so it was impossible not to pay attention.
While Xia Ping's expression remained very calm, he finished his meal in the dining hall and then went back up to the school building roof. There was still more than half an hour before afternoon classes began, and he wanted to continue studying the Super Hatred System.
"System — you said that Hate Points can be exchanged for things. So how exactly do you exchange them?" Xia Ping asked.
With a ding, a virtual panel suddenly appeared in his mind. On it was a Shop displaying weapons, medicinal pills, Martial Dao cultivation techniques, martial skills, and so on — a complete online store seemingly capable of selling anything.
"Host — the above items, as long as the host has enough Hate Points, can be purchased," the system's voice transmitted.
Xia Ping touched his chin and thought: What items can be purchased? Immediately, he selected the Martial Dao Cultivation Technique category, and a page sprang up.
On it was listed a series of powerful Martial Dao techniques:
Great Emperor Scripture, item grade: God Level, price: 10 billion Hate Points
Void Scripture, item grade: God Level, price: 10 billion Hate Points
Star Swallowing Art, item grade: God Level, price: 10 billion Hate Points
Demon Prison Mysterious Embryo Scripture, item grade: God Level, price: 9 billion Hate Points
Yin and Yang Life and Death Art, item grade: God Level, price: 8 billion Hate Points
… and so on.
Seeing these prices, Xia Ping was speechless. Tens of billions of Hate Points? How could he possibly afford any of those? He looked at his own Hate Points — he only had 120. That would barely pay for a single hair on someone's leg. How could he buy anything?
Forget it. I already have Pure Yang Inextinguishable Art. Looking at more Martial Dao techniques is useless. Might as well look at the Martial Skills.
Martial Dao cultivation techniques were fundamental — they tempered the physique and absorbed heaven and earth's spiritual qi, evolving the human body into something like a superhuman. But martial skills were powerful techniques that displayed one's strength — the more formidable the skill, the more terrifying.
For example, some martial skills simply let one's strength produce equivalent destructive power. But a supreme martial skill could make that same strength produce a thousand times the destruction. That was the difference between martial skills.
Naturally, the fiercer the martial skill, the harder it was to cultivate.
With that in mind, Xia Ping selected the Martial Skills category. Immediately, a page appeared listing countless mysterious and powerful martial skills:
Great Desolate Heavenly Prisoner Seal, item grade: God Level, price: 10 billion Hate Points
Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, item grade: God Level, price: 10 billion Hate Points
Immortal Execution Sword Art, item grade: God Level, price: 9 billion Hate Points
Eight Desolate Six Directions Palm, item grade: God Level, price: 8 billion Hate Points
Void Shifting Step, item grade: God Level, price: 7.5 billion Hate Points
… and so on.
Seeing these names, Xia Ping knew how powerful they were — but with prices in the billions of Hate Points, he could only look at them. He couldn't afford to buy any of them.
Moreover, he had only gained 120 Hate Points from taunting all the students. How long would it take to earn billions of Hate Points? �

"Host does not need to worry," the system responded, seemingly sensing Xia Ping's thoughts. "As long as the host tries hard and persists for a long time, accumulating billions of Hate Points will be easy. Then you can buy whatever you want in the shop."
"Nonsense!" Xia Ping's mouth twitched. Even getting billions of Hate Points — without considering how long that would take — was already difficult. And just acquiring Hate Points in the first place seemed incredibly tricky.
He had become the public enemy of an entire class and earned retaliation just for 120 Hate Points. If he earned 10 billion Hate Points, how many enemies would he have then?
He carefully calculated in his mind: to earn tens of billions of Hate Points, he would have to make all of Yanhuang Star hate him. Then calling him the enemy of the world would not be an exaggeration.
Thinking of the entire planet as his enemy — and a mob shouting that they would spare no one and even kill his entire family — gave him a headache.
Forget about it for now. I don't need to worry about all that right now.
Actually, maybe I don't even need tens of billions of Hate Points. As long as I can exchange for what I need, that's enough. Even if it means offending people, it won't be the end of the world.
Although the system was dangerous and its side effects enormous — often creating enemies — it could help him rise up and sneak a peek at the pinnacle of Martial Dao cultivation.
"Although the host cannot afford such expensive items for now, there are cheaper things in the shop that can temporarily satisfy the host's needs," the system said.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ping immediately said, "List the martial skills by price from low to high."
Ding — the martial skills page immediately changed, displaying some of the cheaper ones. The cheapest was five Hate Points — such as the Basic Fist Technique and others, skills found everywhere.
"Eh? This Five Form Fists actually costs 100 Hate Points? Why?" Xia Ping noticed one martial skill: Five Form Fists.
It was created by an ancient Martial Dao master who observed fierce animals — the tiger, poisonous snake, ape, white crane, and fierce dragon — and developed this powerful martial skill containing countless combat techniques.
It was also a mandatory course at the school — every student wanted to learn and master it as a foundational martial skill. Yet in the system's shop, it cost 100 Hate Points. That was just outrageous.
"Because the system sells martial skills to enlighten people with perfect wisdom — it is an inheritance," the system said. "Ordinary martial skills require the host to comprehend them, train diligently, and work hard. But the system's martial skills do not require that."
"It instantly instills the memories of the martial skill into the host and merges it with the host's body, allowing the host to instantly learn and master it, as if they had cultivated for many years like a Martial Dao Grandmaster. Pure Yang Inextinguishable Art was also taught this way."
"What?!" Xia Ping was shocked. If that was true, this resource was extremely valuable — mastering a skill instantly was equivalent to saving ten years of training. The advantage was enormous.
"I'll buy it." Xia Ping immediately said. �

"Yes, host," the system replied.
With those words, a huge warm current flooded into Xia Ping's mind. It felt as if his soul was dragged into a white space where nothing existed.
A mysterious force seemed to control his hands and feet, making him move. The postures of fierce tiger, poisonous snake, ape, white crane, and fierce dragon appeared one by one, his body like the wind.
It was as if in that instant, he became those fierce beasts, emanating a terrifying wild animal aura. His fists and feet moved together.
peng peng peng! Immediately, loud cracks came through the air as his fists struck, as if causing air explosions — the power was extremely terrifying!
Then, in that white space, he continued to cultivate for what seemed like dozens of years, training the Five Form Fists to perfection and achieving mastery.
pā chā! The space shattered. His soul was pulled out and returned to his body.
"Five Form Fists!" Xia Ping clenched his fist, making a sound. His pupils revealed bright light. He had unprecedented confidence, and his body emanated the aura of a Martial Dao Grandmaster — natural and complete.
