Eldritch Assassin: Reincarnated With An SSS-Rank Devouring System-Chapter 131: System Rewards III
[Silent Fangs – Advanced Tier]
A twin-strike technique designed for speed and lethality. Delivers two simultaneous attacks — one visible, one hidden. The hidden strike carries 150% damage and bypasses most basic defenses.
Requirements: Dual weapons or exceptional speed with single weapon
Mastery Levels: 3
Current Mastery: 0/3
---
This technique was perfect for his current situation. He fought primarily with daggers, and Abyssal Fang could execute both strikes with enough practice. The hidden strike bypassing defenses would definitely catch opponents off guard.
The next technique was the...

[Shadow Sever Arts – Elite Tier]
An assassination-focused technique that combines movement and strikes. Allows user to step into an opponent’s shadow and deliver a devastating attack from their blind spot. Can chain multiple targets.
Requirements: Shadow affinity or darkness-based cultivation
Mastery Levels: 5
Current Mastery: 0/5
Special: Damage increases by 50% when attacking from target’s blind spot
---
Kael’s eyes narrowed. This technique synergized perfectly with his Eclipse Step and Silent Eclipse Dao.
It covered stepping into shadows, appearing behind enemies, and striking from blind spots — these were all things his cultivation naturally supported.
And the ability to chain between multiple targets meant he could cut through groups of weaker enemies efficiently.
This would be devastating in the Silver Rankings.
Third technique was...

[Cloudveil Reversal Technique – Elite Tier]
A defensive technique that redirects incoming attacks. It creates a thin barrier of refined energy that doesn’t block attacks but instead reverses their momentum, sending force back toward the attacker.
Requirements: Precise primal energy control
Mastery Levels: 4
Current Mastery: 0/4
Special: Reversed attacks carry 75% of original force. At higher mastery levels, can reverse even spiritual attacks.
---
Kael whistled softly. This was exactly what he needed. A defensive technique that didn’t just block but countered. Against stronger opponents, this could turn their own power against them. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
And the note about reversing spiritual attacks at higher mastery was incredible. Most cultivators at Primal Adept level just began learning spiritual techniques — attacks that targeted the mind or spirit directly rather than the physical body.
Being able to reverse those would make him nearly untouchable in his realm.
He moved on to the locked techniques. Even though he couldn’t learn them yet, he wanted to know what awaited him.

[Ninefold Fist of Destruction – Ancient Tier]
[Locked – Requires Level 3 Primal Adept]
An ancient unarmed combat technique. Delivers nine consecutive strikes, with each strike doubling in power. At peak mastery, the ninth level multiplies each strike by nine instead of doubling.
Warning: This technique puts immense strain on meridians and body. Use with caution until physique is strengthened sufficiently.
Mastery Levels: 9
Current Mastery: 0/9
---
Kael read that description three times. The math was staggering.
At basic mastery or level one mastery, nine strikes where each doubled in power meaning that the final strike would be 512 times stronger than the first. That alone was devastating.
But at peak mastery, at the ninth level, each strike multiplied by nine. The final punch would carry unfathomable force. Enough to shatter reality itself, maybe.
The warning about strain was concerning but expected. Ancient Tier techniques weren’t meant for weak bodies. He’d need to reach at the very least, Level 3 Primal Adept and probably cultivate body strengthening methods before attempting this.
The last technique...

[Heavenpiercer Sword Art – Ancient Tier]
[Locked – Requires Level 2 Primal Adept]
A sword technique focused on penetration and precision. Each strike is designed to pierce through defenses, armor, and energy barriers. At higher levels, can pierce through space itself.
Requirements: Sword weapon, exceptional primal energy control
Mastery Levels: 7
Current Mastery: 0/7
Special: Armor penetration increases with each mastery level. Final level allows strikes that ignore distance.
---
This sword technique was perfect for dealing with heavily armored opponents or cultivators with strong defensive techniques. And the final level’s ability to ignore distance was absurd. That meant striking enemies from across a battlefield without physically closing distance.
Kael closed the status screen and exhaled slowly.
Two months ago, he’d been fighting for survival in Valoria Kingdom. Fighting Dorian Valcroft and his cronies, clearing dungeons, and escaping assassination attempts.
Now he sat in Mei Kingdom with techniques that most cultivators would kill for. Resources that could fund a small sect. And power that was growing exponentially.
The system had been silent for weeks, but it had probably been preparing these rewards to build his foundation for what was to come.
"Three days until the auction," Kael muttered. "Then at least one month in the Azure Mountains. Then the Silver Rankings."
He pulled out one of the Essence Gathering Pills he’d bought from the Azure Sky Pavilion. The jade bottle felt cool in his palm.
"Time to start cultivating seriously."
He popped the pill into his mouth and swallowed. Immediately, concentrated primal energy flooded his meridians. The pill began dissolving, releasing its stored power.
Kael closed his eyes and dropped into meditation. His consciousness sank inward, guiding the energy through his cultivation pathways.
The Silver Lotus Flame in his dantian pulsed gently, helping refine the energy. And the crimson mark on his chest thrummed in rhythm with his heartbeat.
Outside his window, the capital of Mei Kingdom continued its daily rhythm as common people went about their lives.
None of them knew that in a simple inn room, a young man was laying the foundation for something that would shake the entire Endless Region.
Kael cultivated through the morning, through midday, into afternoon. The pill’s energy slowly integrated into his cultivation base. His meridians expanded slightly. His primal energy pool deepened.
When he finally opened his eyes as evening approached, he felt the change.
He was closer to Level 2 Primal Adept now. Maybe he’ll break through in two or three days instead of a week.
And with the system’s techniques waiting to be learned, with Blood Points to boost his attributes and spend in the shop, with an auction coming that would provide weapons and resources...
Kael smiled coldly.
"Let’s see how the Silver Rankings in the next two months handle someone like me."
