I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

otely.

Luo Leilei’s body was ravaged by pain.
She didn’t have an Innate Level Physique, so if it wasn’t for Thor’s Form shielding her from most of the flames and mitigating the damage, she would have already been burned to a crisp.

“Why are his spiritual techniques so powerful too?”

Luo Leilei knew few defensive spiritual techniques, so she decided that the best defense was offense.

She curled her fingers into claws, stabbed the air, and ripped a tear in the very heavens.

“Forbidden Lightning Purgatory!”

A Master Stage spiritual technique!

As far as the eye could see, the very space around Xu Xiaoshou for hundreds of yards collapsed, and black lightning formed a web that crossed and converged with one another like the roots of an ancient tree that had just gained sentience.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless lightning bolts rained down on Xu Xiaoshou as the heavens became like a deadly see of lightning where only corpses could float.

Luo Leilei panted heavily.
The attack had taken a lot out of her.
Without any warning, her pupils contracted and her scalp prickled with numbness.

A bathtub… had appeared in the middle of the Forbidden Lightning Purgatory!

What was that?

Where had Xu Xiaoshou gone?

She extended her spiritual senses, then whipped her head up to the sight of a sphere of energy with an unsteady glow heading toward her.

“Lesser Fireball!”

The scorching heat of the refined fireball was a terrifying sight to behold, and Luo Leilei instinctively dodged it.

Boom!

A loud explosion sent waves of heat rippling across the sky, and the falling snow vanished as the heat turned it into a mist, a mushroom cloud appearing in the heavens.

The force of the explosion sent Luo Leilei flying into the distance.

She was horrified when she realized that another Refined Fire Seed was waiting for her in the distance.

Farther away was Xu Xiaoshou with an infuriating smile on his face and three more Refined Fire Seeds in his hand.

“Don’t worry,” he said.
“Let’s take it slow.

“You may have dodged the last one, but there’s another one waiting for you.
After you dodge that one, you’ll still have another three to deal with!”

Luo Leilei was quickly approaching the Refined Fire Seed.
When she heard these words, she immediately reacted to dodge the impending danger.

“Purple Flash!”

Xu Xiaoshou stared as Luo Leilei shifted and transformed into a bolt of golden lightning that dodged the Fire Seed in the nick of time.

“Yellow Flash?” Xu Xiaoshou was startled.

How he envied these cultivators who had such a wide arsenal of cool and flashy spiritual techniques.

Unfortunately, with his level of talent, he was fated to be stuck with boring spiritual techniques that he’d created himself and had to rely on their actual destructive force to intimidate his enemies.

While Xu Xiaoshou’s mind was wandering, Luo Leilei chose to pull closer to Xu Xiaoshou instead of rapidly retreating, and appeared right in front of him.

Buzz.
Zap.
Buzz.

What sounded like the birdsong of a hundred starlings rang in Xu Xiaoshou’s ear, and he caught sight of the electricity coiled around Luo Leilei’s hand…

“Chidori?”

“Lightning Strike!” Luo Leilei thrusted her clawed hand forward in what seemed like an attempt to skewer Xu Xiaoshou.

Xu Xiaoshou might have a Master Physique, but so what? Her Master Stage spiritual technique was possibly the most powerful attack that a single cultivator could unleash on her enemy!

Gasp!

It was then, at that most critical moment, that Xu Xiaoshou suddenly took a sharp breath in her face.

This was the amazing close-combat skill that Xu Xiaoshou had stumbled upon in an epiphany at the Spirit Library Division and had used to consume Elder Sang’s Infernal Fire Seed.

Contrary to the stench that he’d had to endure then, the scent that Xu Xiaoshou caught was the refreshing perfumed fragrance of a young woman.

Buzz.

The sudden churning of her spiritual source inside Luo Leilei left her bewildered.
She had no idea what was the cause of this.

The electricity snaking around her hand weakened instantly and only managed to burn Xu Xiaoshou’s clothes… Her clawed hand didn’t manage to pierce his skin at all and instead became a gentle caress.

Xu Xiaoshou stared stupidly at the snowy hand that Luo Leilei had placed on his chest.

“Are you copping a feel again?”

“…”

Luo Leilei was livid.
But before she could blow up, Xu Xiaoshou grabbed her pale wrist and yanked it up, leaving her chest vulnerable to attack.

His fingers turned into blades, and Xu Xiaoshou showed no mercy for his female opponent as he pierced her chest with his fingers!

“Hnn!”

Luo Leilei widened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood that landed on Xu Xiaoshou’s face.

Xu Xiaoshou exhaled softly, a distant look in his eyes.

This was his first battle since reaching the Innate Stage.
He’d expected Luo Leilei, who was an Upper Spiritual Level Holy Vassal, to be stronger than him.
But, honestly… she was extremely weak!

“Remember, no matter how powerful your spiritual techniques are, you shouldn’t try to engage in a close-combat battle with me.
That’s a hopeless fight.”

He wiped the blood off his face, and, as he stared as Luo Leilei’s eyes gradually glazed over, said in a measured voice, “You lost.”
