Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 914 - 256: Despairing Overlord Sword, Pain and Pleasure_3
It is very likely that this palm carried some sort of energy that infiltrated the sword, causing it to be unable to normally absorb Qi-Blood Energy.
This latent energy quickly caused the slain monster to wither and dissipate.
It was actually the Purple-skinned Evil Demon's power exerted upon itself that caused the effect.
But it could not perceive any unknown energy within its body.
If this is the truth, it does not even know how to break free.
Henceforth, every time Jiang Cheng slayed a monster, the Overlord Sword silently prayed in its heart for a miracle to happen, yet reality crushed its hopes time and again.
Watching Jiang Cheng strike again and again, the anxiety in Overlord Sword's heart rolled like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.
It began to tremble slightly in Jiang Cheng's hand frequently, its emotions gradually losing balance.
It did not understand, having thoroughly examined the sword body and confirmed that no external forces existed, yet still found nothing.
Throughout the entire process, the Overlord Sword never doubted Jiang Cheng. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Apart from Jiang Cheng's weak strength, it could not perceive the energy flow disappearing from the monsters' bodies.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng looked down at it after killing another monster, confusedly asking:
"Overlord Sword, I have already hunted over a hundred monsters, why haven't I received any strength feedback? Didn't you say every hunt would feed back some strength to me?"
Faced with the question, the Overlord Sword knew Jiang Cheng was slowly losing patience.
If it could not prove its value, Jiang Cheng might give up wielding the sword.
The Overlord Sword explained at this time:
"My strength has not yet recovered, so I cannot feed any strength back to you temporarily, but perhaps I can assist you in cultivating a Special Magic Technique, significantly enhancing your strength."
"Alright." Jiang Cheng nodded, with expectations in his heart.
"Next, I will assist you in operating the Magic Technique. The process will be extremely painful, so be ready."
"Bring it on."
Hearing the process would be painful, Jiang Cheng was unconcerned.
His primary focus was the Suffering Soul, gene seed, toxic bath, body torture… he had played through them all, and he was quite looking forward to how much Suffering Soul experience the pain from Overlord Sword could bring him.
Hearing Jiang Cheng agree, the Overlord Sword showed its fangs in its heart.
Although heartbroken about the upcoming energy expenditure, the thought of obtaining Rule-derived Energy feedback from Jiang Cheng's suffering renewed its expectation.
The Overlord Sword at this moment detached from Jiang Cheng and floated above his top of the skull, the blood-colored gemstone at the sword's tail opened like eyes, transforming into red particles pouring from Jiang Cheng's head.
"Kid, bear it, the first operation will surely be very painful..."
"Uh... ah ah ah!" A piercing scream suddenly rang out.
"I haven't even started yet, what are you yelling for." Overlord Sword was taken aback.
"Sorry, you continue." Jiang Cheng said, slightly embarrassed.
Just now, he sensed his Qi-Blood surging within his body, he instinctively started acting, thinking that was the pain Overlord Sword was talking about, only to realize it hadn't begun yet.
At this point, the Overlord Sword controlled the Rule-derived Energy, navigating a specific path within Jiang Cheng's body.
Immediately, it felt as if thousands of venomous snakes were crawling under the skin, periodically raising swollen lumps, with the originally pitch-black pupils consequently occupied by blood glow, fine blood patterns split at the corners of the eyes, resembling shattered porcelain.
Severe pain suddenly surged.
But… it seemed bearable.
Although he had already tuned his pain perception to 100%, compared to the old man's Special Potion, the pain was still somewhat lacking.
At this moment, Challenger Tips continuously rang out in his mind:
[Challenger Tips: Absorb Divine Artifact Rule-derived Energy, gain Body Refining Experience +98… +98 points… +98 points.]
[Challenger Tips: Endure pain, Touch of Pain (Life Soul) gains growth experience +120 points… .]
The constant tips echoing in his mind instantly gave Jiang Cheng a sense of satisfaction.
Raising the Suffering Soul was not easy.
Since it was a Special Life Soul, it couldn't be improved through hunting but only through enduring pain.
But ordinary pain attempts were made over and over again, reducing the acquisition of experience significantly.
The Alchemist Guild no longer produced the initial version of the gene seed, finding a pain source was not easy.
They could only study the old man's "Pain Secret Manual", learning how to manufacture toxic potions, using this method to support Suffering Soul growth.
But purchasing Spirit Plant was a substantial expenditure.
Now the pain experience brought by Overlord Sword using its own Rule Energy was completely free, and the joy of getting something for nothing was boundless.
Yet the act must continue.
First, he widened his eyes forcefully, feigning pain, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream squeezed from deep in his throat, then the body began to shake violently, hands clenching tightly to his chest robe, venting "pain" this way.
Subsequently, Jiang Cheng's legs softened, his whole body toppled towards the ground, during the fall he did not forget to heavily bump his elbow against the ice layer beside, making a muffled crash while indistinctly mumbling.
His forehead quickly covered in fine beads of sweat.
The sweat was forced out from his body by operating the Battle Aura Attribute, rolling down his cheeks as if cold sweat from severe pain.
As the Overlord Sword continued to output Rule Energy, Jiang Cheng's performance became more vigorous.
Started rolling back and forth on the ground, each roll deliberately slamming into the ice layer beneath, producing "thud" noises.
The facial muscles constantly twisted in the process, teeth clenched, squeezing intermittent moans from between the teeth.
Hands flailed chaotically, appearing to bravely fight invisible pain, showcasing the fabricated pain state vividly.
No need to learn how to act, Jiang Cheng had gone through nearly unbearable pain many times, knowing what it's like to endure pain.
