Chapter 431: Chapter 325: Great Thunderfire Saber Technique, Demon Slayer! (Double Length)

"A year of demon slaying and exorcism..." Song Changming looked at the latest annual evaluation.

Indeed, it was true.

Last year’s demon disaster was enough to represent the major event of the entire year.

Song Changming individually slew hundreds of demons small and large, making this evaluation summary not too excessive.

Thanks to his outstanding performance during the demon disaster, his annual evaluation had remarkably positive ratings in all aspects.

In terms of Martial Arts Cultivation, he recently broke through the third Earth Martial Vein, significantly boosting his Innate Cultivation, which greatly increased his evaluation score.

Besides mastering the Third Grade Wind and Thunder Divine Movement Technique, he also exchanged excellent merits in the military armory to acquire a Second Grade Saber Technique he desired, and mastered it as well.

Second Grade Great Thunderfire Saber Technique!

As the name suggests, it is a rare dual-element Martial Technique of thunder and fire.

In terms of damage, as long as one can master this saber technique, there’s absolutely no argument.

The reason for choosing this saber technique was naturally to leverage his own advantages.

His Fire Attuned Tao Body and Thunder Roar Body, two major physical traits!

One could say they perfectly match this saber technique, making the already powerful saber technique two levels stronger!

This was a plan he had envisioned from the start.

With this high-level saber technique, he has filled in the gaps in his swordsmanship.

As for the annual reward, he could still pick two out of the four options.

For the first reward selection, he didn’t need to think much.

It was undoubtedly the reward of over six thousand lifespan days.

Only by choosing this reward can he have extra lifespan to select the second reward with the baseline of one guaranteed life.

His gaze lingered over the second and third reward options in the panel.

Whether gaining a new trait or upgrading an old one, he wanted both opportunities.

The ’Demon Slayer’ new blue trait, judging from the name, would provide additional assistance when slaying demons in the future.

For him, it would naturally be very useful.

Both the duties in the military and the cultivation of Witch Refining Technique destined frequent demon battles in the future.

Upgrading the existing trait could only enhance his Qi Refiner, which was his last green level trait.

Other blue level traits were not within the selectable range for this upgrade reward.

In fact, this "Qi Refiner" was a trait he had long wanted to upgrade.

Qi Refiner could accelerate the efficiency of his Innate realm Qi refining, which also equated to speeding up unlocking his Innate Martial Vein.

Currently, Song Changming’s Body Refinement Cultivation was advancing rapidly, but often his Innate realm cultivation dragged him back when facing powerful opponents.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, upgrading the Qi Refiner trait was very necessary.

"But giving up the new trait is a pity..." Song Changming weighed repetitively.

Perhaps because of this year’s summary evaluation as a year of demon slaying and exorcism, he received this new trait.

If he gives it up, he might never be able to get this trait reward again in the future.

You only get one shot at this.

However, upgrading trait rewards had appeared more than once before.

"Ultimately, it’s still a lack of lifespan days..." Song Changming lamented inwardly.

If he could squander lifespan days freely, he wouldn’t have such troubles.

But the accumulation of lifespan can only increase slowly over time.

The longer he lives, the longer his lifespan.

After pondering for a while, Song Changming opted for the year’s limited reward.

Demon Slayer (Blue): Born to be a demon hunter, possessing a demon slaying special attack trait, all attacks on the demon race have additional damage.

After each demon slaying, there’s a certain chance to enter a state of boiling blood, continuing to receive combat power boost.

Looking at the panel’s new blue trait, the specific effect was similar to what he expected, a trait specialized for demon slaying.

However, this specific trait effect can only be demonstrated again during demon slaying, having no use in daily life.

Having chosen his annual reward, Song Changming looked at the remaining lifespan days.

Thirty-eight thousand six hundred plus days.

Not bad, this year’s annual reward not only covered the cost of acquiring the new trait reward but also added over a thousand days, more than what he had accumulated daily throughout the year.

"Now, when did I ever participate in such an event?" Song Changming finally placed his gaze back on the information in his annual summary.

The other parts posed no issue, only the participation in major events left him somewhat perplexed regarding the Celestial Phoenix Nirvana event.

Previously he only remembered the demon disaster being triggered by a secret treasure, the Celestial Phoenix Feather.

But throughout the demon disaster, he had not come into contact with that Celestial Phoenix Feather, nor did he know what Celestial Phoenix Nirvana meant.

He did not understand why his participation in this event was recorded in the annual summary.

"Could it be just because I encountered that Great Demon Kite?" Song Changming thought inwardly.

Indeed, there’s a saying that the kite demon entered the ranks of a Great Demon after seizing the Celestial Phoenix Feather.

But merely encountering that kite demon, claiming he participated in this inexplicable event seems a bit far-fetched.

This event was perhaps too easily triggered.

Song Changming couldn’t quite grasp it, so he simply closed the panel and decided not to think further. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

After all, the demon disaster was already a year past, thinking so much had no meaning now.

Seeing the Little Yellow Chicken passed out drunk on the stone table, with both feet sticking up, belly turned upwards, Song Changming casually grabbed its hind leg and took it indoors to rest.

The next morning, Song Changming dressed in the Flowing Cloud Armor representing the commander status, walked out of the courtyard without a helmet.
