Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 45: First time adding points to the Life attribute! Addressed as "You"!_1
The Stitched Fierce Ghost, with the sharp tip of the Demon-slaying Sword pointed directly at its throat, was visibly panicked. Although its emotional expression wasn’t as varied as that of a living person, it was more emotive than the usual strange creatures.
This might be...
the difference between it and that strange shadow Fan Wu had encountered before.
Fan Wu remembered that the eerie shadow had not had much emotional fluctuation.
However, the faint panic that appeared on the Stitched Fierce Ghost’s face did not negate its reverence for "The Great Revered One."
With the tone of a sincere believer and a hoarse voice, it spoke in fits and starts, "You... you ignorant Taoist! You... have desecrated The Great Revered One revered by thousands and offered incense by multitudes..."
"The merciful The Great Revered One, who relieves suffering on earth and heaven... will never... allow a madman like you to live in this world!"
"’We’... will hunt you down..."
"To the ends of the earth!"
"To the corners of the sea!"
"The one who desecrates The Great Revered One—"
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
Thwack!
Fan Wu did not want to hear that name that made him frown.
All he did was gently thrust the Demon-slaying Sword forward, and its sharp tip pierced the Stitched Fierce Ghost’s throat!
A massive outpouring of Yin Energy erupted instantly, just as if a living person’s major artery had been severed, spouting blood violently.
The Stitched Fierce Ghost could no longer utter a word, let alone spit out a single letter.
Its body trembled violently.
As if it was having a seizure.
Especially at the throat where the Demon-slaying Sword had pierced, a "sizzling" sound emerged, like butter melting over a hot fire.
The Stitched Fierce Ghost could no longer hold on.
Its ghostly body had become incredibly translucent, and one could see the green stone ground beneath through it.
Its soul body’s surface was covered in dense, mottled cracks.
Within these cracks, a faint golden light shone.
It was as if a blazing fire burned within its soul body.
It appeared to be in great pain.
Immensely tortured.
Bang!
A sound like a bursting balloon echoed as the Stitched Fierce Ghost’s spectral body exploded with a bang, turning into tiny glowing sparks like fireflies.
Dispersing into the heavens and earth!
[You have successfully slain "The Ultimate Fusion of the Ghost Bride and Ghost Groom (Countdown Three Minutes)", congratulations on obtaining Free Attribute Points: 10 points!]
The system’s kill notification appearing before his eyes meant that the Stitched Fierce Ghost had indeed been totally eradicated.
It was also at this same moment, within Willow Alley...
All around, the scenery gradually returned to its original state.
In the night sky, stars twinkled.
A crescent moon hung high.
The color of the flames in the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the inn, now a normal orange-yellow, appeared no longer strange and seemed rather standard.
Most of the Yin Energy that filled Willow Alley had also dissipated.
However, the remaining Yin Energy was not insignificant; it would probably take several days for the Yin Energy in Willow Alley to completely clear away.
But Fan Wu felt that this was none of his concern.
Everything is over!
"Another very smooth ’exorcism’ process," Fan Wu remarked to himself.
He suddenly felt that, even though his identity as a Taoist Priest was fake, he had played the role quite adequately.
In just a few short days, the evil spirits he had "exorcised" were close to a hundred!
Among them...
There were several powerful strange creatures, all of which he had "exorcised."
Oh, that’s right.
He almost forgot, he had also "exorcised" a living person—Xuan Shizi.
Which Taoist Priest of the Great Zhou Dynasty was as dedicated as him, Fan Wu?
If he took his achievements to the Netherworld...
Fan Wu felt he might even manage to land a job as a Ghost Envoy!
As for why he encountered so many strange creatures in such a short period,
Wasn’t that all because of The Great Revered One!
Fan Wu felt as though, after provoking The Great Revered One, it was akin to indirectly attracting half the strange creatures of Yinghe Prefecture.
Within Yinghe Prefecture, there were thousands upon thousands of bizarre creatures...
Hadn’t he, Fan Wu, offended at least half of them?
Damn!!!!
A stream of complaints raced through Fan Wu’s mind, yet outwardly he remained completely composed.
The only consolation for him was... the amount of Free Attribute Points he had acquired this time was not small.
[Name: Fan Wu]
[Life: 89＋]
[Power: 25＋]
[Skill: Star Lodging Sword Technique lv1 (0/10)]
[Free Attribute Points: 15.2]
With 15.2 Attribute Points, Fan Wu could easily boost his [Power] attribute in one go to the horrifying figure of 40.2. His strength would then undergo an earth-shattering transformation.
However... Fan Wu insisted on saving some Attribute Points for unexpected needs.
He pondered for a moment.
Then he allocated them.
’Add 5 points to the [Power] attribute!’
’Add 5 points to the [Life] attribute’
Having so many Free Attribute Points was quite lavish; Fan Wu could now afford to experiment with adding points to the [Life] attribute and see what effects it would have on his physical body.
When the 15.2 Free Attribute Points had shrunk back down to 5.2...
Fan Wu could feel the changes brought about by the allocation of points!
The transformation was just as familiar as ever!
Every single muscle in his body trembled with uncontained excitement.
Every inch of bone wrapped by those muscles seemed to make a resonant noise of flesh and bone.
An invisible aura slowly swirled around Fan Wu.
It even caused his hair to dance lightly!
Underneath his skin, veins as thick as dragons or pythons twitched incessantly, his Daoist Robe stretched to the brink of tearing, though fortunately, the quality of the robe was fairly resilient.
The aura of the man, like that of a ferocious beast, also climbed steadily at this time.
He was becoming more and more like a fearsome demon!
This was the transformation of his physical body brought about by the addition of points to the [Power] attribute.
And with this allocation of points...
Fan Wu had also added to the [Life] attribute!
He perceived that his entire brain had become exceedingly clear, as if a unique sense of joy at the soul level was permeating every nerve throughout his body.
The power accumulated ceaselessly like bubbling spring water in every inch of skin, every bone, every muscle, and even every inch of his soul.
His senses had become more acute than before; the dim night scenery appeared to him no different from broad daylight.
Even if a woman far off was having her period, he could smell it distinctly.
His skin seemed capable of detecting the flow and direction of the air.
Allowing him to react even with his eyes closed!
Fan Wu felt as though he had plunged into a den of tenderness, the pleasure and excitement were simply indescribable.
He didn’t know how to express it.
He knew that his attribute panel had changed significantly.
[Name: Fan Wu]
[Life: 94＋]
[Power: 30＋]
[Skill: Star Lodging Sword Technique lv1 (0/10)]
[Free Attribute Points: 5.2]
Fan Wu’s current [Life] attribute had reached the figure of 94, whereas his [Power] attribute had broken through the important threshold of 30.
One could only say that the Ghost Groom, the Ghost Bride, and all sorts of wicked ghosts... had given him a luxurious gift pack of Attribute Points tonight.
"Daoist... Daoist Priest Fan?!"
Just then.
The very voice Fan Wu did not want to hear rang out from one side, "You... why aren’t you moving? Are you injured?"
It was the voice of Xie Jiu.
He no longer called Fan Wu "fellow Daoist," but "Daoist Priest."
And...
He now used the respectful ’you’!
...
