In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Su was speechless: "Of course not. I just wanted to collect something, but it's too mysterious. I guess we can only find some clues in myths, the Bible, or family diaries."

Eddie Monroe became curious upon hearing this: "Is it related to Vincent?"

Su nodded and then shook her head: "What I want to collect is the treasure that the Green family hid during the Crusades. To be precise, this treasure is only a part of the collection, a small part."

. ........ .......

“I’ve heard about these things, but nobody knows where the treasure is or what it is,” Eddie Monroe exclaimed in surprise.

Su shrugged: "I know."

"Okay, so what's the purpose of your meeting with me?"

"Help me check the Bible or mythology to see if I can find any records about a powerful magic wand. Legend has it that it was wielded by something like Satan or the Destroyer."

"So the treasure is a wand, part of a wand?" Eddie Monroe was surprised and intrigued. "My family does have a lot of books, and I have a relative who runs a bookstore. I can look for it."

"I wait for your news."

"it is good."

Eddie Monroe put on his coat, grabbed his keys, and prepared to leave. Sue teleported back home and entered the alternate dimension to check the diary he had kept in Aunt Nick's trailer, to see if there was any record of the War of Destruction.

The Battle of Destruction may be its original name, but a name alone is not enough. A collectible can't just have a name and no introduction about its origin.

What Su wanted to know was the origin of the Staff of Destruction.

With countless shadow clones searching together, they learned a great deal about the knowledge and types of monsters in Visen, but made no progress on the origin of the Staff of Destruction.

It wasn't until the shadow clone arrived at the Black Forest of the Kingdom of De, left the Flying Thunder God mark, and then disbanded that Su Shi emerged from the alternate dimension to sense the Flying Thunder God's mark.

Chapter 206 Rasengan and the Bronze Treasure Chest

Germany, the Black Forest, the town of Wolfah.

"call out--"

Sue teleported to the vicinity of a four- or five-story white church.

"Phew... I didn't expect it to actually work." Su looked around and let out a long sigh of relief. This was the farthest distance he had ever teleported using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Previously, it was always within the United States, but this time it was a direct teleportation from the United States to Germany. Just by looking at a world map, you can see how far the distance is.

Although the Flying Thunder God Technique's teleportation was successful, the chakra consumed by such a long-distance teleportation was astonishing. Since eating the Chakra Fruit, Su Shi had not experienced what it felt like to consume a large amount of chakra for a long time, but now... he finally experienced it again.

Based on his current chakra levels, he should only be able to make one round trip.

This is good news, indicating that I have an even higher need for the 187 chakra level.

What people fear most is having no goals. Once there are no goals and no needs, everything becomes dull and meaningless.

This was Su's first time "going abroad" after transmigrating, and she felt it was very memorable. Could this be considered changing maps? Would changing locations bring a luck buff?

"Ding!"

"1500 points consumed".

"Reward received: Rasengan"

Spiral—Rasengan?!

The idea that changing maps would increase the luck buff was pure nonsense from Su Shi. Unexpectedly, he actually got one of the most iconic ninjutsu from Naruto in one go.

Naruto relied on his various Rasengan techniques to navigate the entire Naruto series.

The Rasengan is a ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, after three years of inspiration drawn from the Tailed Beast Ball.

He concentrates chakra in his hand, flows it in irregular directions, and compresses it to form a palm-sized ball of neutral chakra to attack his opponent.

Although it's only an A-rank ninjutsu, the fact that it doesn't require hand seals, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, makes it quite formidable. It's a pity... I've already passed the stage where I need to form hand seals.

Following the system's consistent style, the variations derived from Rasengan, such as Giant Rasengan, Super Giant Rasengan, Giant Rasengan Combo, Wind Release: Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Wind Release: Super Giant Rasenshuriken, etc., will likely have to be obtained through subsequent draws.

Although the Rasengan is only a basic ninjutsu, it is powerful and has a well-known reputation. Although the Su family knows a lot of miscellaneous ninjutsu, there are actually very few that can be considered as powerful offensive moves. Now, they have finally gotten rid of this embarrassing predicament.

Su opened his palm upwards, and in an instant, streams of irregularly rotating chakra condensed in his palm, gradually forming a swirling, azure blue ball.

"boom!"

Seeing that the dumpling was getting bigger and bigger, Su hurriedly untied it. After it was untied, a strong wind instantly swept outwards.

Su chuckled, turned around and looked at the towering mountains behind the church, then used his teleportation technique.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—" Although there were various obstacles ahead, making it impossible to pass directly under normal circumstances, it was no different from walking on flat ground for Su Shi. After a few leaps, he had already entered the forest in the high mountains.

"Earth Release: Rock Concealment Technique!"

Sue remembered that when Nick and Monroe came to find the treasure in the TV series, they found it inside the mountain. He dived into the high mountain, opened his White Eye, and quickly began searching.

A moment later, Su's face lit up with joy: "Found it."

From a slightly further distance, he saw that the interior of the mountain seemed to have been hollowed out, with many stones that were symbolic or used for sacrifice, and... a structure that resembled both a tomb and a church.

The room was filled with a dense pile of human bones, and the passageways inside were interconnected and intricate. There was a lot of miscellaneous stuff piled up, and even with the ability to see through things, it would be difficult to quickly locate the target.

Su moved towards the underground church, and soon he entered, exiting his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical escape technique). The surroundings were pitch black, and Su's gaze pierced through the darkness and layers of obstacles, searching in one direction after another. Soon… he saw a wall composed of human skulls.

There are seven skulls facing inwards on this wall, and in the direction they are looking is a small partition containing a box!

"Found you." Su strode over and removed the skull on the wall, along with a stone slab behind it, revealing a box covered in cobwebs.

The box appears to be made of bronze and has seven keyholes, each corresponding to one of the seven keys of the seven Grimm Knights.

Inside was a tattered cloth, which wrapped a thin wooden stick slightly longer than a palm.

"The treasure really is this little wooden stick..." After leaving a Flying Thunder God mark nearby, Su teleported back to his home in Portland, USA, with the copper box.

"call out--"

Upon returning home, Su didn't rush to open the bronze box but instead focused on recovering her chakra for a while. She also called Eddie Monroe and Nick, asking them to come to her house.

Opening treasure chests is more about the ritual when there are many people around. Even if he already knows what's inside, others might not. Besides, what constitutes collectible value? It's when everyone knows it's a valuable item, and you currently have it in your possession, having collected it. Others can only feel envy and jealousy. That's what collectible value is.

If nobody knows what this thing is, nobody knows you have it, and you can only enjoy it yourself, what's the point of the satisfaction of collecting it? It's like showing off but having no audience, or being a tycoon but nobody knowing—what's the use?

As for the saying "don't flaunt your wealth, or you'll be punished for possessing a treasure," that depends on your actual strength. A child carrying a large sum of money might get robbed, but who would dare to rob a fully armed adult, especially one with several armed bodyguards?

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Eddie Monroe and Nick happened to run into each other nearby. Nick might not have realized why Sue had called them here yet, but Eddie Monroe reacted quickly and understood Sue better.

Su had just finished saying he wanted to collect the Staff of Destruction from the treasure and even asked him to investigate its origins and history, and then immediately notified him to come to the house. He must have made some progress.

Although no one has known the whereabouts of the treasure for so many years, it would be no easy task for Green, the royal family, or anyone else to find it, but Eddie Monroe believes that it should be no problem for the Sue family.

This proved to be true; as soon as Eddie Monroe entered, he saw an antique-looking copper box on the coffee table, so dirty it looked like it had just been unearthed.

"Is...is it this?" Eddie Monroe excitedly walked to the coffee table, staring intently at the bronze box.

Su nodded with a smile: "I just brought it back from the Black Forest in Germany. I was exhausted from the trip."

"What is this?" Nick asked.

"Did you bring the key?" Su asked Nick. "There are seven holes on the box; you can try the key."

Chapter 207 Violent Loot Box Unpacking and the Origin of the Staff of Doom

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of a mechanism turning rang out, and Nick, somewhat nervous, looked at Eddie Monroe, who was holding his breath. Infected by his nervousness, he carefully pulled out the key.

"Is this the treasure the royal family was looking for that you mentioned before?" Nick looked at Sue. "I only have one key; it's obvious that seven keys are needed to open it."

"And your blood!" Su explained with a smile, "Actually, the main purpose of the seven keys is to find the whereabouts of the treasure. With current technology, you don't need to collect all seven keys to open the lock on the box. However, there is a special seal on the box, which requires Green's blood to truly open it."

“Of course, I don’t need to go to that much trouble.” Su put the copper box on the ground from the coffee table, then raised her foot, controlled her chakra and strength, and kicked down with a Painful Heaven Kick.

"boom!"

The copper box was dented and had several cracks.

Again.

"boom!"

After a slight adjustment, Su kicked him again.

The kick shattered the bronze box, revealing a wooden stick wrapped in rags.

Eddie Monroe and Nick were dumbfounded. They never expected that the Su family would open the box in such a simple and crude way. If the Knight of Green back then knew that the box they had painstakingly tried to hide and had gone to great lengths to open had been opened like this, he would definitely crawl out of hell in frustration.

"This is the magic wand you were talking about?" Nick looked at the small wooden stick that Su had picked up and found it hard to believe that this thing was a treasure with the power to change the world.

"A part, a part of the Staff of Destruction," Eddie Monroe said excitedly. "I've found something."

As he spoke, Eddie Monroe pulled a book out of his bag: "My family's 'Bible,' the Grimm Biology edition, has been passed down from my father's side since 1598. The Abrahamic religions believe that the dead enter a special world after death, a hellish place ruled by a fallen angel, who can also be called Satan, the devil, Lucifer, whatever you want to call him. Come and see, isn't this scepter in the fallen angel's hand the scepter of destruction you mentioned?"

(The Abrahamic religions refer to the three major monotheistic religions in the world: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.)

Su looked over and saw a skull dressed in a black robe holding a wooden scepter. He remembered that the Destroyer's 'transformed' form was a skull with a pair of green eyes.

"It looks a bit like it, anything else?"

"And this illustration... what if, I mean what if that hellish place isn't hell, but some other special world, a world without lava, fire, or sulfur, a garden—not Eden, of course, but a world overrun by monsters?"

Eddie Monroe turned the page to a scene resembling a garden or forest, where many creatures, much like the Vincent monster, were fighting each other.

This reminded Su of the world where the Destroyer lived.

“And…” Eddie Monroe continued turning the page: “This is Israel, look at the scepter in his hand. And here, the one Judah gave to his daughter-in-law Tamar, aren’t they all very similar?”

Israel and Judah are figures from the Bible.

“And this painting.” Eddie Monroe took out his phone and showed a photo of a man holding a huge head in one hand and a scepter in the other.

"This painting is called David Defeats Goliath, painted by Gabriel Joseph Marie Augustin Farrell."

“Goliath, the giant from the Bible? I thought David killed Goliath with a slingshot,” Nick exclaimed.

“He also had a scepter, but for some reason, this part of the story did not spread. Apparently, David left this scepter to his descendants, and the kings of David’s descendants used it as a staff until the temple was destroyed, and the scepter mysteriously disappeared.”
