193: Chapter 193 Advancement—Fourth-Rank Martial Artist!!

"The corpse and demonic beast core of the Qingyuan Snow Fox? No problem, I'll take this job." Chen Yichuan patted his chest and smiled readily.

Before Uncle Bao could be happy for even a second, the word "however" rang out instantly.

"However... hehe, Uncle Bao, you need to give me the demonic beast core right here first, to help me break through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist!" Chen Yichuan rubbed his hands together.

His 'hungry' eyes stared fixedly at the brocade box.

14 points of agility.

By consuming this demonic beast core and adding his free attribute points, he would be able to break through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist in one go.

Whether dealing with the Beggar Sect or a Tier 4 Demonic Beast, he would become much more capable and at ease.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Bao gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment. He looked at the insatiably hungry Chen Yichuan and gritted his teeth again.

In the end, he chose to make this decision that went against his ancestors.

"Fine. Compared to recovering my dantian and cultivating back to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, what is a single ancestral demonic beast core!"

"Brother Chen, here you go!" Uncle Bao's face showed a struggle, but a moment later, his expression became firm, and he slowly spat out these words.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yichuan impatiently flashed to Uncle Bao's side. "Hand it over!"

Without hesitation, he took the brocade box handed to him.

Gulp.

The demonic beast core entered his mouth!

"Tsk, this demonic beast core tastes a bit fishy!" Just as it entered his mouth, Chen Yichuan frowned slightly.

"Huh?"

"Wait? Brother Chen, you just ate it like that?" Seeing such a crude scene, Uncle Bao's pupils dilated sharply.

He looked utterly disappointed, as if a precious treasure had been wasted.

If the demonic beast core were used for alchemy, it would definitely be more effective than swallowing it raw.

"Hehe, is there a problem?"

"Uncle Bao, I know what you want to say. Hehe, listen to this kid's advice: a hidden demonic beast core is useless; it's only yours once it's in your stomach."

Chen Yichuan smiled faintly, sat cross-legged, and slowly digested the power of the demonic beast core.

Seeing this, Uncle Bao sighed. It was already eaten, and he couldn't exactly dig it out.

Demonic beast cores were almost exclusively used for alchemy; one core combined with some rare treasures could produce a batch of several pills.

Right now... Chen Yichuan was chewing it like a candy bean, giving Uncle Bao the feeling of punching cotton.

"Forget it, I've already given it to him, let it be."

Simply out of sight and out of mind, he turned his head aside, dazed, contemplating life.

...

After swallowing the demonic beast core, about a few minutes later, Chen Yichuan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly curled his lips upward.

Because, a system notification suddenly rang in his ears.

'Ding.'

'System Notification: Player consumed one Green Wind Eagle demonic beast core, permanently increasing agility by 14 points.'

Hearing this sound, Chen Yichuan impatiently opened his panel.

[Chen Yichuan: Male; Profession: Six Fan Sect Constable; Talent: Attribute Involution (Unique) (Growable); Realm: Third-Grade Martial Artist; Strength: 289 (Attack 116); agility: 299 (Speed 299); constitution: 288 (HP 2880/2880, Defense 58); spirit: 286 (Internal Energy 2820/2860); Martial Arts: "Profound Water Heavy Art" Minor Achievement 0/300 ... Folded; Free Attributes: 4; Current Location: Shuangjiang County, Qingfeng Inn]

Thump.

299 points of agility, only 1 point away from breaking through to 300, and leaping to become a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist.

He didn't even need to think.

With a thought, 1 free attribute point was automatically added to agility.

'Ding'

'System Notification: Free attribute point added successfully, player agility attribute exceeded 300, realm promoted to Fourth-Rank Martial Artist!'

'Congratulations to the player for being the first in the entire server to promote to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, rewarded with 5 free attribute points.'

'Realm promoted to Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, rewarded with 5 free attribute points.'

At that very same moment.

The moment Chen Yichuan, sitting cross-legged, broke through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist.

Bang!!

Suddenly, a pale green ripple rippled out from his body.

Uncle Bao, standing to the side, saw this scene and his pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes full of shock.

His hands were trembling, and he whispered to himself: "A pale green ripple? This... this is the sign of entering the Fourth-Rank Martial Artist realm."

"Brother Chen!! I didn't expect your agility to actually reach the Fourth-Rank level."

"Tsk tsk, a living Fourth-Rank Martial Artist breaking through in front of me, this old man is truly fortunate." Uncle Bao marveled repeatedly while continuously cupping his hands toward Chen Yichuan in respect.

However, Chen Yichuan's attention was not on Uncle Bao.

At this moment, he was carefully savoring the system's words: the first player in the entire server to break through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist receives an extra 5 free attribute points.

It gave him an illusory, dreamlike feeling.

"Is this what a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist is? It's really different from before; the aura has changed drastically."

"13 free attribute points, not bad!" Glancing at the panel, Chen Yichuan nodded with a smile.

He didn't add the points immediately, choosing to save them instead.

For one, his agility attribute had pulled far ahead of the other three attributes, and since the other attributes were currently in Attribute Involution, it wasn't suitable to add points immediately.

Secondly, he planned to use the large amount of free attribute points, combined with his Attribute Involution talent, to see if he could exploit a bug and spiral into the sky by stepping on his own feet.

As he thought about this, Chen Yichuan's lips curled up slightly.

He couldn't even hear Uncle Bao standing in front of him, calling out repeatedly.

It wasn't until Uncle Bao's pair of withered, somewhat rough hands rested on his shoulders that Chen Yichuan snapped out of his excitement.

He turned around and looked, subconsciously saying:

"Huh?"

"Uncle Bao? You're still here."

Hearing this, Uncle Bao was instantly choked up, not knowing what to say.

He understood Chen Yichuan's mood, but he should just laugh it off; don't waste time, there wasn't much left.

"Ahem."

"Brother Chen, please control your emotions first. Next, let's talk about serious business."

"Breaking through to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist adds thirty percent more chance of victory in dealing with Sect Leader Huang Tianba." Uncle Bao coughed softly, then looked at Chen Yichuan with a serious face and spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yichuan's expression changed. He slowly recovered from his excitement and nodded.

"Uncle Bao, I don't know what the plan is for destroying the Clean Clothes Faction's Beggar Sect Branch and hunting the Tier 4 Demonic Beast this time? Are you coming along too?" Chen Yichuan asked, glancing sideways.

As soon as these words were spoken, without any surprise, Uncle Bao nodded: "Go, of course, I'm going too."

"However, no plan is needed. For this kind of operation... it only requires the experts to decide the winner; the other underlings are not worth mentioning. The key is still..."

"Brother Chen, whether you can quickly deal with Sect Leader Huang Tianba."

Uncle Bao's face darkened, his deep eyes staring fixedly, as if pinning all his hopes on Chen Yichuan.

Quickly deal with him?

Hearing this, Chen Yichuan hesitated for a moment and carefully thought about his own killer moves.

Flowing Cloud Sword Qi; upon meeting, unleash three sword qi attacks of 1000 attack power each, dealing 3000 damage.

One Blade Breaks the River, a super powerful charged attack.

Wave Upon Thousand Waves can also perform well in a prolonged battle, but these Martial Arts Stances were easy to handle against Third-Grade Martial Artists.
