Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

“My name is Hou Jun, and I’m a man who’s survived eight life-death challenges.”

Hou Jun had heard that every 9th life-death challenge is easier, and he guessed that this challenge, shared with a group of newcomers, is one such challenge.

“When I faced my first test, a senior had explained the Saha World to us, so I’ll do the same for you, treasure this rare act of kindness.”

“I can first assure you all – you’re still alive.”

“However, where you go from here is uncertain, after all, out of more than a dozen who started with me, only I have survived till now.”

All in the group had experienced death once and were entirely unruffled by Hou Jun’s words, even the chubby kid managed to brace himself.

“Next, you will soon face the first life-death challenge.”

“The life-death challenge, as the name suggests, is a high-risk ordeal. Who knows how many will survive the first challenge?” Hou Jun licked his lips thoughtfully.

“The world you’ll go to for the life-death challenge varies. It can be technology-based, martial arts, or even fantasy- all are possible.”

“You should hope it’s not a fantasy world. The fantasy world is widely recognized as the toughest life-death challenge in the Saha World. After all, powerful beings in fantasy realms can move mountains and change landscapes at will.”

“When can we leave here?” A well-behaved girl raised her hand to ask, Jiang Li noticed the cut marks on her wrist and the water stains on her arm.

“You can return to the real world after surviving the first life-death challenge, and then await the arrival of the second life-death challenge.”

Hou Jun cautioned everyone, “Remember, you must not disclose anything about the Saha World. If you do, you’ll meet an untimely death.”

“If you think there’s a rest period between the first and second challenge, then you’re gravely mistaken. Each challenge is more difficult than the last. If you slack off or cease to progress, you’ll only meet death at the second life-death challenge.”

The chubby kid asked, “Then how can we get stronger?”

Hou Jun turned towards the pitch-dark void and loudly said, “Lord of Saha, please display the exchange list.”

At his words, a lengthy list of items and corresponding prices appeared on the altar.

A translucent screen also appeared before everyone, displaying the amount of “Nothingness Value” they possessed.

“What does this ‘100’ mean?” the chubby kid continued to ask.

“This is your Nothingness Value. As you haven’t faced any life-death challenge yet, your initial Nothingness Value is 100.”

The plump kid quickly found something affordable, “I could buy… a handgun and six bullets for a 100 Nothingness Value?”

The chubby kid was stunned. Even if he bought a gun, he wouldn’t know how to use it, not to mention hitting anyone with just six bullets.

“How do we gain Nothingness Value? Can it only be obtained from life-death challenges?” the well-behaved girl asked.

“You can sell things to the Lord of Saha in exchange for Nothingness Value.”

The well-behaved girl took off her necklace and shouted, “Lord of Saha, I want to sell my necklace.”

The necklace disappeared, and the well-behaved girl gained a point of Nothingness Value.

“Why just one point? My necklace could buy dozens of guns!” the well-behaved girl stomped her foot.

She was someone who sought excitement and had chosen suicide out of boredom. She couldn’t expect that her suicide attempt would not succeed and that she would end up in such a place instead.

She had initially planned to use a large amount of Nothingness Value to exchange for treasures and make a killing in the life-death challenges.

Hou Jun explained with a smile, “You can’t compare the prices here to the real world. The only standard for determining value here is a single aspect – the ability to become stronger. Anything that helps you grow stronger is valuable. Anything that doesn’t is useless.”

“In the eyes of the Lord of Saha, your necklace is no different from a piece of rope.”

“Look at the valuable items in the exchange list, they are either Cultivation Techniques or enhancement potions, or Spiritual Treasures or high-damage weaponry.”

“What’s a Cultivation Technique? Is it like something that Daoist priests use for longevity?” the well-behaved girl pointed at Jiang Li and asked.

Hou Jun shook his head: “Those are just superficial skills. Cultivation Techniques are a chance at becoming immortal – obtaining one means you can embark on the path to immortality and enjoy a life free of worries.”

“Do you see the Cultivation Techniques at the top of the list? Those can make you immortal.”

“The concept of immortality, something seen only in myths, can be realized in the Saha World. This tells you just how magical this place is.”

“Even if you were a billionaire in the real world, here, you’re at the bottom of the pecking order.”

“I heard from those in the know, that a few days ago, several cultivators appeared in the Saha World. The highest among them was at the Divinity Transformation Stage, an utterly terrifying prospect.”

“Imagine that level. Free to roam the earth and sky, overturn mountains and rivers, a single flicker of anger could cause blood to flow into rivers, and bodies to lay strewn all over, absolute invincibility.”

“The first life-death challenge is as easy as child’s play compared to them.”

Jiang Li suddenly asked, “Will the Lord of Saha buy anything? I have something here that I’m afraid the Lord of Saha might not be able to afford.”

Hou Jun sneered, finding the Daoist’s arrogance amusing, “There’s nothing the Lord of Saha cannot afford.”

Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Jiang Li announced loudly, “Lord of Saha, I want to sell you my trash system.”

The system stayed within Jiang Li unaffected.

Jiang Li thought maybe he got the name wrong, so he shouted again, “Lord of Saha, I want to sell you my comeback system, give me ten Nothingness Value for it.”

Distortions occurred in the void around the altar, as if the Lord of Saha was pondering Jiang Li’s words. It finally took form into three characters.

[Can’t afford]

Jiang Li clicked his tongue, finding the Lord of Saha utterly useless.

“Nevermind then, I’ll sell you some Cultivation Techniques instead.”

Jiang Li uses Nothingness Value to buy a chair, a desk, writing brush, ink, and paper, as well as a sugar-coated hawthorn, and begins to write as he eats his snack.

Jiang Li glanced at the altar beneath his feet, wrote “Five Viscera Six Bowels Altar Cultivation Technique”, glanced at the void and wrote “Nothingness Work”, glanced at the thin and dry Hou Jun and wrote “Demon Ape Cultivation Technique”, glanced at the chubby kid and wrote “Round Ball Technique”…

Hou Jun coldly laughed, thinking, do you think the Lord of Saha would buy any crap you write?

“Lord of Saha, I’ll sell you all these.”

As the words fell, Hou Jun’s smirk froze on his face. He watched the Cultivation Techniques vanish, and Jiang Li’s Nothingness Value skyrocketed like a rocket.

“That’s barely enough. I need more.”

Jiang Li scratched his head and continued to write and sell Cultivation Techniques. His Nothingness Value kept rising.

“This should be enough. Give me everything in the top ten of the list.”

Jiang Li continued to write and sell Cultivation Techniques.

“Now, the top twenty.”

“Top thirty…”

“Top forty…”

“Top fifty…”

Hou Jun was dumbfounded as he watched the list seemingly shrink, the available items for purchase dwindling.

Even the big shots of the Saha World couldn’t purchase items so casually.

Everyone knew how tough it was to accumulate Nothingness Value and made careful considerations before buying anything.

Hou Jun had also accumulated some Nothingness Value and planned to buy something, but before he even had the chance, Jiang Li bought it from under him.

Eventually, Jiang Li bought everything on the list. The altar was so full that there was no room for anyone to stand.

Only two characters remained on the list.
