Aron now sat back inside the tent, sinking into the cushions, his gaze unfocused as he stared at his status window.

[1,000 EXP used. Zulcan's Vagira (Fledgling Scripture) claimed.]

[Zulcan's Vagira (Fledgling) 100× Rebate activated → Yin Yang Essence Sutra (Astral) acquired.]

A massive wave of information and insight crashed into his mind.

Five minutes later..

"Huaaaaaa…"

Aron exhaled deeply, his expression twisting with shock and disbelief.

"What the..? I thought it only worked on leveling speed!"

Then it hit him.

The rebate's description didn't say leveling gain, it said self-gain.

Realization struck him.

Unlike him who could claim multiple Talents, D-One only had that single Rebate Talent to himself.

All the other talents Aron accessed were shared, which meant the "self-gain" clause hadn't truly applied before.

Now, to him it did.

Aron's heart began to race.

"Damn… this is sick."

He took a deep breath, steadying himself.

As he sorted through the new cultivation technique in his mind, a spark of excitement flared in his eyes.

Judging by the structure and concepts, the world he'd landed in really was a cultivation world, and this technique proved it.

And to his satisfaction, every insight, formula, and understanding of the Yin Yang Essence Sutra was already imprinted perfectly in his memory.

No need to spend days deciphering obscure nonsense.

(Convenient, and lifesaving)

Unlike the convoluted techniques he'd read about in stories, this one was surprisingly straightforward.

Whether that was due to the technique's nature or his rebate's influence, Aron wasn't sure.

The Zulcan's Yin Yang Essence Sutra focused on balancing yin and yang to strengthen the body, allowing the user to manipulate both forces in combat, absorbing energy with yin, reflecting attacks with yang.

A powerful concept, simple yet terrifying.

Aron recalled how his earlier spear attack had bounced slightly off the Zulcan's hide.

So that was it.

Even at a fledgling level, the effect had existed.

And now, with the Astral-grade version amplified a hundredfold, the potential was beyond anything he'd expected.

A slow grin crept across his face as he exhaled in relief.

Finally, a clear path to power again.

He couldn't wait to return and claim more techniques.

His mind drifted to the aloof princess, curiosity flickering.

What kind of reward would she yield after a hundredfold boost? With her being a Royal, Aron was sure she will surely hoard a lot of good stuff…

After a few minutes of silent contemplation, Aron began claiming the rest.

Aron leaned back on the cushions, a faint grin tugging at his lips as he stared at his status

"Now this," he murmured, "is what am talking about."

I'm really sorry that some chapters have been appearing twice. I'm not sure why it keeps happening, but I've already contacted the support team to help fix the issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Author note:

If you've read this far, then it's clear you're loving the journey just as much as I enjoy writing it.

But here's the truth: stories don't grow on their own. They grow because of you, the readers who stand beside them. And on Webnovel, your Powerstones, Golden ticket and engagement are the heartbeat that keeps a novel alive. Each support you cast isn't just a number on a chart. It's a signal that you want more, that you believe Aron's story deserves to climb higher, to reach more people, to carve its name into the rankings where it belongs.

Your encouragement decides the pace of this journey. Together, we can push this story through the chaos, step by step, one stone, one ticket, one chapter at a time.

So thank you, for every stone, every ticket, every moment you've given this story. You are the reason Aron's world lives and grows.

Let's walk through the apocalypse together.
