One more catty, one more attribute point

Chapter 11: Chapter 9 Limits

Su Heng purchased a residence in the Ninth Fang near Jingyang Fang. On one hand, it was necessary for his daily martial arts practice, while on the other, Su Heng wished to avoid the demonic scent on his body, which could attract unclean entities and harm his family.

This house was located less than two blocks from the Su Family's mansion.

If there was ever an emergency at home, Su Heng, with his current level of perception, could quickly and timely hurry back upon hearing any disturbances.

With the aid of Tai Sui meat, Su Heng's cultivation speed was astonishing.

In the past,

it would take five to six days for Su Heng to gain one attribute point.

But with Tai Sui meat and spending a fortune on various precious supplements, ingredients, and herbs, the efficiency of gaining attribute points increased to one per day.

The advancement of the Pure Yang Skill was rapid, and the degree of vein mutation also steadily improved.

Almost every morning, waking up and standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sun, Su Heng could distinctly feel the transformation occurring in his body; it was a metamorphosis from a fragile mortal into a fierce beast that devoured demons.

A few more days passed,

and the mage whom Grandfather Su had generously paid to come from Dinglin Temple completed a ritual at their home.

It must be said, those old monks seemed proficient during the ceremony, but in Su Heng's eyes, these monks were just ordinary people. As for whether the sutras and scrolls had any effect on suppressing demons, Su Heng could not conclude.

But since then,

there had actually been no more occurrences of people drowning in wells in Changqing County.

Everything returned to its usual tranquility, with people coming and going in Changqing County, and the hustle and bustle as busy as ever, but Su Heng did not believe the matter would end so simply.

On one hand,

Su Heng continued to collect martial arts and focus on cultivation.

On the other hand, Su Heng also investigated county records and gathered ancient rumors from the elders, summarizing them. These diverse sources of information came together, gradually unveiling a corner of a mysterious and chilling world before him.

From the provincial city to Changqing County, spanning hundreds of kilometers, she might inevitably encounter some unclean beings on the road, and he didn't want to think deeper about whether she would run into any trouble. Su Heng's mind was a mess.

"The future, with all its uncertainties, really is too much," he watched the gradually dimming sunset outside the window and sighed deeply, his gaze becoming determined, "In an era of chaos and monsters, only strength can protect oneself, protect one's family..."

The gray and white attributes panel appeared before his eyes again.

[Height: 1.87 meters]

[Weight: 235 kg]

[Cultivation Technique: Pure Yang Skill, Level 6]

[Vein Mutation: 35%]

[Attribute Points: 20]

Compared to over half a month ago when he had just broken through in the Pure Yang Skill, Su Heng had gained twenty kilograms, but his height had only increased by two centimeters. Yet his figure didn't appear bloated at all; his physique was healthy and coordinated, with smooth and powerful muscle lines.

It was clear to see, this weight gain had been added to the density of his muscles and bones.

Apart from the Pure Yang Skill, Su Heng had collected two other internal cultivation techniques.

They were the Black Evil Technique and the Red Poison Technique.

The former was acquired by spending hundreds of Silver at a black market, while the latter was obtained from a fallen martial master living in seclusion within Changqing County. Compared to the Pure Yang Skill, these two techniques were more specialized and quite incomplete.

Su Heng had originally planned to try training in them, using his attribute points, but after seeing the collected data, he changed his mind.

"First, I'll cultivate the Pure Yang Skill to Great Perfection. Once there's no further progress, then I'll try the other two techniques." The Pure Yang Skill was balanced and peaceful, with the most complete heritage and the greatest potential.

Unquestionably, Su Heng planned to make the Pure Yang Skill his primary cultivation method, while the other two techniques could serve as references and supplementary training.

With this thought in mind, Su Heng no longer hesitated.

"Pure Yang Skill, let's see where your limits lie!"

Accompanied by a long and heavy breath, the twenty attribute points he had accumulated over half a month disappeared in an instant.

The realms after the Pure Yang Skill initially blurred, jumping from Level 6 to Level 7, then changed again, finally stabilizing at Level 8. And when the Pure Yang Skill broke through to Level 8, a gray bracket appeared behind it, revealing a new term.
