Urban Sacrifices: Starting as a Madman

“Your ‘emotions’ balance is too low. Would you like to recharge? (Hunt geniuses to earn more.)”

Jiang Shu is bound to a cultivation System with a very unusual style.

While others meditate to absorb spiritual energy, he levels up by [draining emotions].

Other people's bottlenecks are cultivation manuals and spirit stones. His is “not having enough despairing geniuses around him.”

From the start, he sacrifices “the hatred of a wealthy family” and becomes an emotionless machine of revenge.

He sacrifices more and grows stronger, but with every step, he loses more of his humanity.

When he is branded the enemy of the cultivation world, a System notification pops up:

“Update preview: The ultimate ascension package requires you to experience ‘death’ once as a sacrifice.”

Jiang Shu looks at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood beneath his feet, then replies to the System:

“Fine. But this time, the one I’m sacrificing… is you.”

When cultivation becomes a cold transaction, is humanity an obstacle, or the last hope of redemption?
