As Lin Hui Yin looked at Tian Long, he sighed and retracted his hand that was intending to rip Lin JiaHao's head off.

Since the guy was, after all, her family and considering that this was her first request to him, he agreed to not kill Lin JiaHao.

Even in his past life, he didn't like killing others for the smallest grievances, although this guy tried to kill him...

Even though Lin JiaHao wasn't any threat to him at all, he still didn't like the fact that he attacked him with the intent to kill.

But, since Lin Hui Yin requested him to spare the man, he granted that plea. However, he wouldn't let things end just like it.

'System, are there any suitable crippling techniques that I could buy?' he asked the system in his thoughts.

Answering instantly, the system responded. [ Ding! With the host's current amount of apex points, there are no suitable techniques. However, there are three incapacitating techniques and arts that the host could get for free, but remember, you can only pick one of them right now. ]

Nodding his head, Tian Long was pretty happy that he could once again, get a freebie from the system.

_______________________

{Soul Imprisonment Technique}: Can only be used on targets with weaker soul power than the user. This technique can either forcibly take the target's soul and imprison it on oneself and in pieces of equipment or split the target's soul, leaving the target with half a soul, whilst forcibly locking up the other half.

{Soul Searching Method}: An ancient cruel technique which uses the user's soul and divine sense to forcibly search the target's memories. This technique could lead to side effects on the target depending on his or her soul power.

{Essence Devouring Art}: A devilish and brutal ancient technique which forcibly extracts the target's life essence, cultivation, potential, and etc and absorb it. Be careful of absorbing other's cultivation essences since it might lead to qi deviation due to the tainted and impure essences and energy within them. The amount of cultivation and life essence absorbed will depend on the user's and the target's soul power, vitality, and cultivation.

Tian Long's eyes narrowed to slits when he saw the three cruel techniques and read its descriptions.

Powerful! Cruel! Vicious!

The techniques can only be described by such words as he started thinking on what he should pick.

He stared at Lin JiaHao as he decided in his mind.

Lin JiaHao, being stared by Tian Long like that, left him shuddering as he despaired. He thought that he had been saved when Lin Hui Yin came but that wasn't apparently so.

When his cousin came and pleaded for his mercy, and it being granted, he felt as if he ascended to the heavens only to be suddenly dragged down to hell right now.

'System, you said that I couldn't get the other two techniques after I pick one right now, when exactly can I gain the other two then?' he asked.

The system then replied in his mind. [ Ding! Once the host is able to upgrade the system's level then the host will be allowed to obtain the remaining two techniques. ]

Hearing this, Tian Long sighed in relief and thought. 'It seems it won't be that hard to get them. I guess I really need to increase my cultivation level soon.'

After a few seconds, he then decided on which technique to pick. 'System, I'll pick the {Essence Devouring Art} for now.'

[ Ding! Decision confirmed! Transferring the technique to the host right now! ]

In an instant, the technique appeared within his mind as two blurry figures materialized, showing how the technique is used.

It only took a few seconds before Tian Long knew how the {Essence Devouring Art} was used. He was really amazed at how magical the system was.

After finding out the method of the technique, Tian Long then stared at Lin JiaHao.

The latter's whole body trembled as he looked at Lin Hui Yin, begging for her to save him. In response, Lin Hui Yin only sighed and shooked her head.

She knew that her sect master was already giving her face by not killing Lin JiaHao, therefore, she knew that it was pointless to ask him to stop.

Suddenly, Tian Long's golden eyes shone as he stared at the man in front of him.

Grabbing out, Lin JiaHao's head was immediately in his grasp as a perilous aura was unleashed in the surrounding.

Everyone on the floor paled and stepped far away from the scene, including Lin Hui Yin.

With a desperate expression, Lin JiaHao kept begging Tian Long to stop and give him another chance.

Ignoring him, Tian Long unleashed the {Essence Devouring Art}.

A formless and colorless energy suddenly flowed out from Tian Long and stretched towards Lin JiaHao.

He then said indifferently. "I already gave you a chance by not retaliating at your first attack yet you actually tried to kill me when I showed you mercy. Although I want to kill you, Lin Hui Yin had already requested me to spare you and I shall do so."

Hearing Tian Long's words, Lin JiaHao sighed in relief as if he had just heard the most comforting words in his life.

However, his face immediately contorted when he heard Tian Long's following words.

"Although I won't take your life, you will receive severe punishments which I shall now deliver."

Lin JiaHao mustered all of his strength and struggled violently, yet no matter what he did, Tian Long's hand clamped his head with godlike strength.

The formless energy then flowed out from Tian Long's hand towards Lin JiaHao's head, invading his body.

Lin JiaHao on the other hand, didn't feel the energy that entered him and continued struggling in vain.

The formless energy then entered his dantian swiftly and without obstruction. At once, it started absorbing all of Lin JiaHao's cultivation.

In response, Lin JiaHao's face immediately turned deathly pale as he shrieked like a ghost. His cultivation that he worked hard for all his life was being pulled from him forcefully and he can't do anything to stop it.

His meridians and dantian were sealed by the energy and his body was being incapacitated by Tian Long.

Tian Long didn't stop as the formless and colorless energy kept pouring out from him.

King Realm Level 7.

King Realm Level 6.

King Realm Level 5.

King Realm Level 4.

...

His initial King Realm Level 7 cultivation continuously dropped as it was absorbed without end.

Lin JiaHao's face and body kept getting weaker and weaker until he finally collapsed as his body kept twitching.

Watching this scene take place, everyone in the surrounding couldn't help but gasp and breathe in a mouthful of air.

They were scared senseless as they watched the originally powerful and handsome Lin JiaHao become thinner and thinner every second.

It looked as if his soul was being sucked out of him as only white could be seen in his eyes.

They didn't know what exactly was happening to him but they knew that Tian Long was taking his revenge, and it was a vicious one at that!

The originally colorless energy that was within Lin JiaHao's body eventually turned into a black and white color.

Tian Long kept using the {Essence Devouring Art} until Lin JiaHao's cultivation reverted back to Tempered Body Level 1.

He then waved his hand and retracted the energy as it appeared in his hand.

It was formless before but its now in the shape of a ball in the color of white with some black parts in it.

The white, ball-like energy's size was around 100 cm and it had a hard to describe aura around it.

It had a harmonious and calming feeling and at the same time, it emitted a devilish and dark aura.

Tian Long knew that the black part was the impurities and the tainted parts of the 'essence' that he took away from Lin JiaHao.

He played around it for a few seconds before storing it in his inner world. He'll ask the system his questions about it later.

After storing the ball of energy within his heavenly world, Tian Long looked at Lin JiaHao who was twitching in the ground.

He flashed him a smile as he thought. 'You think I'm done?'
