Number One Dungeon Supplier

The punching bag disappeared.

The result was that simple.

A grade 18 punching bag. Made with the strongest material that could be found on the market and supposedly costs millions of dollars to the System.

That punching bag disappeared.

If Jin had attained Grade 18 or maybe at its peak, that punching bag would probably have broken and leaked grade 17 bead materials from the punching bag. If he was a Grade 19, the punching bag would definitely break and cost a hole in the punching bag with some of the Grade 17 beads being burnt by the impact and friction.

But that punching bag disappeared.

"Wait. Wait. Wait a minute." Jin who knew a long time ago what the material of that punching bag had asked to double confirm once more. "Are you sure that is the Grade 18 Punching bag? Are you sure you did not switch it out to the Grade 10 version?" Jin asked and the System immediately brought out multiple Grade 10 punching bags which were of a different colour than the one he used just now. There were no backup Grade 18 punching bags mainly because it was too expensive to be made and the System did not reveal where could the bag be from as well.

Jin stood there dumbfounded for a moment before he sat down before he started walking around the pristine looking cultivation room to check if there were any remnants of the Grade 18 punching bag left. Even a small little bead would be fine.

And yet he found nothing. Even with his Inverse Eyes, there was nothing. Jin could not believe it until the System had given up and played the slow motion video for Jin to see. Just a punch cutting through the air and then the punching bag dissipated as if it had never been made before.

"Oh my god…"

"Congratulations. The System believes that the User has attained the unattainable while still having room to grow since based on your portrayal of cultivation, you have another '16 more grades' that could be attained. Whether you can pass the golden number 20, is another day to think about. But for now, your cultivation grade limit in terms of strength cannot be beaten by anybody in this world."

"In this world… hahaa…" Jin still had that flashback of the destroyed Tian Gong District and the presence of Shadow Ryuli whom he had trembled.

"Yes, in this world. With this kind of strength, it means there's actually hope fighting against the Celestial Plane should their whims bring them to this world."

"Wait… does that mean all of my minions and bellators would be at full strength? Since you did say that they had been capped because of my strength capabilities."

"Yes, they had been unlocked to full strength and their growth from now on would depend on their actions and experiences. However, the System did not send the word out and it is for them to find out themselves that they are capable of more."

"Heh… but strength is one thing, techniques and skills are another. You saw how Zeru managed to defeat Number Four with his skill rather than brute strength."

"That is one thing you have to find out yourself. For the past year or so, User had been focused on gathering strength, hoping to surpass most of the Royal Zodiac Heads so that you would not be underestimated by them. Now that the strength has been unlocked, its time you look for alternatives to get stronger."

"So, going to the Virtual Simulation does have such an effect on my body… Does that mean if I go in again, I can increase my cultivation grade?"

"The System is unsure but at the same time, it had doubts that it will have the same effect as you would have right now. It might be the combination of problematic factors that enabled you to reach to this stage of cultivation."

"Urgh, if I had known that this is like some sort of free upgrade to my cultivation, I would continue to stay in the Virtual Simulation and gain levels from there." Jin now felt sulky that he got out early.

"The System had no comments on that. The System only knows that Qiu Yue had been working extremely hard to keep this place afloat."

"Oh by the way, why are we still keeping that fake Jin around?"

"In case of emergencies when you need to be away. While that fake Jin might be of your old cultivation grade, it is still rather useful when it comes to defending the area and pretending that you are around. The System had managed to instill a few simple commands to it and it had been rather useful. Even Sub System User Qiu Yue had used it as a sparring partner and even called it Jinny to differentiate you and him."

"Urgh… That's my old nickname by her… and using it as a sparring partner? I think she uses it mainly for venting her anger," Jin said and the System also concluded as such. "In any case, you are right. I should check the Astral Manual and see if I can create any new techniques too."

"That would be great for passing it down to your descendant." Then the System could see Jin's bothered gaze and added "…or future disciples of the Royal Clan."

"Yeah right. if I do that, I am creating a monster of a clan to enter." Jin said and suddenly it rang the System's bells.

"Speaking of that, Royal Zodiac Dragon Leader Kong Rong is looking for you. He is wondering if you could host that national competition for the annual Royal Zodiac Martial Arts and Sports Competition. He said that making you do would be so much cheaper than creating actual sporting events."

"Urgh."

"Plus, it increases your reputation to be part of the Royal Zodiacs."

"Do I really have to fit in…" Jin sulked and guessed it best to use this and the VR to put Dungeons and Pandas back into the dungeon supplying business.
