Scavenger Scarlet Drop Card, Kamen Rider
Amid the spreading killing intent, Bai Cangshu felt utterly exhilarated. This was the first time he had unleashed a martial arts ability of this level since his Martial Arts Mastery reached Level 9.
With every punch he threw, he could clearly feel the Satsui no Hado following his fist, as though it ignored the distance through space and struck its target instantly.
Before throwing his next punch, he had already returned to where he stood.
At that moment, within the range of Shun Goku Satsu, Bai Cangshu felt omnipresent and omnipotent.
He could completely control any hand-to-hand combat within this space.
To him, everything here seemed frozen.
This was no longer merely Shun Goku Satsu executed through his own punching speed. It had already touched upon another realm—One Instant Thousand Strikes!
The Satsui no Hado burned wildly, and Bai Cangshu’s fists grew faster and faster as he became increasingly familiar with that realm.
Wailing howls like the cries of ghosts began to echo all around them, caused by the Satsui no Hado and Bai Cangshu’s punches.
It was the sound of air being compressed and shrieking beneath the force of his fists and the Hado.
One Instant Thousand Strikes could uproot mountains and overwhelm the world; ghosts wailed and shrieked, thus Akuma was born.
A realization came to Bai Cangshu. With a single punch, thousands of shadows instantly surged from every direction, completely swallowing the giant beast and the Black Ball Team members caught within.
Bang!
The pitch-black Satsui no Hado instantly dispersed, fully merging back into Bai Cangshu’s body.
Bai Cangshu stood in the air and slowly lowered his hands. A scarlet character for "calamity" lit up, but this time, he no longer felt the agonizing pain of the Satsui no Hado eroding his body.
At last, he could fully control Satsui no Hado at this level.
The ends of his long black hair seemed to have been dyed red by the scarlet Satsui no Hado, adding a streak of blood-red to his flowing locks.
Bai Cangshu withdrew his stance. Behind him, the massive monster over a hundred meters long crashed to the ground, its scales and armor completely shattered. Yet none of those attacks had been the cause of death; there was no longer any life left within that body.
Under the activation of Martial Arts Mastery Level 9 and Satsui no Hado Level 4, the ability Shun Goku Satsu has developed a derivative—True Shun Goku Satsu: One Instant Thousand StrikesOne Instant Thousand Strikes has triggered the trait Death Intent SenluoOne Instant Thousand Strikes has triggered the trait YamaYou killed Connelly Bell and obtained 400 Dimensional PointsYou killed Millie Westbrook and obtained 500 Dimensional PointsYou killed Scavenger DH88417633You completed the special event Safety RegulationsYou obtained the authority: ScavengerA flood of spatial notifications filled his vision. Bai Cangshu stood in midair and glanced back. In the distance, the Black Ball Team members holding all manner of weapons instinctively retreated several steps.
Nothing could have been more shocking to them than watching a giant beast far stronger than an ordinary percentage-based Boss get beaten to death right before their eyes.
Even the Black Ball Team members who had been killed after moving too far forward and getting swept in had been completely forgotten.
Bai Cangshu’s indifferent gaze swept across these "reincarnators" of the Gantz system. Not one of them dared meet his eyes.
He shifted the direction of Mantra: Refinement and set its keyword to "gantz." There were probably still several reincarnators who had slipped through the net somewhere in Tokyo.
Yet even the giant beast’s breath attack had failed to force them out. At the moment, Bai Cangshu would find it difficult to locate them directly in such a vast city as Tokyo. That would be far too inefficient.
He now had a better plan.
At that moment, a Scarlet Drop Card gleaming with golden light condensed before him. Bai Cangshu reached out and crushed it.
You opened the Scavenger Scarlet Drop Card. (Note: This Drop Card allows you to designate rewards such as items, abilities, bloodlines, and more for extraction.)Opening Drop Card...Calculating target kill points. Target kill points: 65. Rewards increased.Based on the effect of Omen of the Evil God: Cocoon of Greed (Third Tier), rewards increased by 75%.Based on the effect of Omen of the Evil God: Cocoon of Greed (Third Tier), you will additionally receive 2 reward selection rights.Calculation complete. For this opening, you may select 3 of the following reward categories.A: 130% Dimensional Points—37,800B: Designate 4 items from the Backpack—Temporal Driver: Den-O (Purple); Unidentified Belt (Purple); Special Bio-Agent (Purple); Large Amount of Paper Currency (White); Bio-Radar Kai (Blue); Slave Shackles (Blue); Memetic Vampire Strain (Special)...C: Add an additional 20% of the target's main attribute to your own attributes—Constitution 15 (Abnormal Status)D: Designate 1 specialty for extraction, retaining a maximum level of Lv7—Combat Mastery Lv7; Blind Fighting Lv6; Advanced Toughness Lv5; Basic Footwork Lv6; Basic Meditation Lv3; Shooting Mastery Lv5...E: Designate 1 ability to obtain, with the ability retaining a maximum level of Lv4—Rider Kick (Special) Lv7; Sunflare (B+) Lv7; Hormone Burst (B) Lv5; Bio-Scent: Hunt (A-) Lv4...F: 15% chance to extract a Bloodline Item—Modified Bloodline (Purple): Bloodline of Bai Shen PrometheusLooking at the prompts before him, Bai Cangshu saw that nearly every category had its selectable options listed. Aside from the bloodline option F, every other category was effectively a fully designated extraction.
The bloodline still had an extraction probability, but because the sin trait of Bai Cangshu’s Cocoon of Greed had evolved to the third tier, he could select three categories at once. This would undoubtedly allow him to make perfect use of the Scavenger Scarlet Drop Card’s advantages.
Bai Cangshu naturally chose the attributes first. This was the reward the Multi-Faced Star People had offered him, and also a bargaining chip he could not refuse.
You selected C: Attribute Extraction. Constitution +15. Current: 51It was as if everything had been calculated perfectly. After the extraction, Bai Cangshu’s Constitution had barely exceeded 50, but he had no mind to care about that now.
He only felt an electric current course through his body. His muscles were torn apart inch by inch, only to regenerate once more.
The toughness of his body rose drastically. Even without considering the bonuses from his other abilities, Bai Cangshu could probably ignore the vast majority of attacks simply by relying on this physique.
The sound of his heartbeat grew deeper and heavier, as though rivers, lakes, and seas were contained in his heart and continuously pumped through it.
With his greatest need fulfilled, Bai Cangshu finally turned his attention to the dead reincarnator’s ability setup. If he was not mistaken, this guy was most likely a Kamen Rider.
Whether it was his bloodline, abilities, or items, everything had been built around that enhancement path.
Kamen Rider was likewise an enhancement system with an enormously variable upper and lower limit, and this entire set of abilities lacked much universal applicability.
After considering it for a moment, Bai Cangshu chose to extract the bloodline first.
You selected F: Bloodline Extraction. Extracting...Extraction successful. You obtained the Bloodline Item—Modified Bloodline: Bloodline of Bai Shen Prometheus (Purple)Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow. He had actually extracted it again. His recent bloodline extraction success rate had been terrifyingly high.
Since he had obtained the bloodline, he naturally chose item extraction for his final selection. If he had failed to obtain this bloodline, Bai Cangshu might have considered taking Combat Mastery instead.
But Combat Mastery could only be considered an inferior or substitute version of Martial Arts Mastery in the first place. Its rarity was not particularly high.
Now that he had the bloodline to pair with it, choosing a Kamen Rider belt was naturally more appropriate.
You selected B: Item ExtractionYou obtained Unidentified Belt (Purple)You obtained Bio-Radar Kai (Blue)You obtained Special Bio-Agent (Purple)You obtained Memetic Vampire Strain (Special)Bai Cangshu had not directly chosen Den-O’s Temporal Driver because he believed that if a reincarnator had placed two belts in his Backpack, then the unidentified one had to be the better belt he was preparing to switch to. Thus, Bai Cangshu chose the more valuable one.
Just as Bai Cangshu finished extracting his rewards, the sound of armed helicopters rang out overhead once more. The human government had noticed that the giant beast had been eliminated and was now attempting to contact Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu remained unmoved. Light flashed in his hand, and the pitch-black Dragon Slayer appeared. Bai Cangshu did not like using weapons in battle, and this powerful weapon had gradually become one of his tools for processing large ingredients.
Pfft!
Under the watchful eyes of the black-clad team members and even the armed helicopters circling overhead, Bai Cangshu began using the black claymore to process the giant beast’s corpse.
Not one to waste anything, Bai Cangshu planned to package up all the "ingredients" he could take with him first, then slowly savor today’s gains later.
Although his Constitution had increased, he naturally would not pass up the chance to level up his Gourmet Cell ability.
Besides… Bai Cangshu had not seen the conditions of the Multi-Faced Star People’s deal with him. He could take it to mean that by accepting those Constitution attribute points marked as abnormal by the space, he had already accepted their deal.
Bai Cangshu looked forward to using Gourmet Cell to strengthen his Constitution once more, in case of unexpected needs.
