133: Chapter 133: Achievement of Slaying 100! Teleportation or Healing?

After reaching Rank 3, Chu Xuan discovered that the attribute points required to continue increasing his basic attributes had increased once again.

It had gone from the original 2 points to 3 points.

"Does the attribute point requirement for different stages correspond to my Rank? It seems that in the Late Stage, more and more resources will be needed."

Chu Xuan mused, then used up all 12 remaining attribute points, raising his stamina, strength, agility, and spirit to 21 points one after another.

It wasn't over yet; add more!

22 points!

An indescribable pain swept through his body, but Chu Xuan didn't care, gritting his teeth and enduring it.

He had to seize every opportunity to quickly increase his strength; only then could he gain an extra glimmer of hope for survival under the threat of the Phantom Demon!

Continue... 23 points!

Finally, when all four attributes reached 23 points, Chu Xuan stopped.

At this moment, he once again felt a dizziness in his brain as if struck by lightning, his heart thumping like a drum, and his entire body burning as if cast into a furnace.

Simultaneously, the System's warning appeared once again.

[Warning! Your stamina, strength, agility, and spirit have increased sharply in a short period; you are currently in an Overload State! Note: If you forcibly increase these four attributes again within 24 hours, your body will collapse.]

The previous warning was 8 hours, but now it had reached 24 hours. Chu Xuan guessed this was likely because he hadn't fully recovered before immediately entering the Overload State again.

The survivors standing not far away all watched Chu Xuan sitting on the ground with wide eyes, feeling their hearts leap in fear as their worldview was constantly reshaped.

"His... his whole body turned red again, he looks like he's in a lot of pain!"

"Why does it look like someone Cultivating martial arts in a Wuxia movie?"

"Monsters have appeared; what's a little martial arts? Maybe it's some kind of Immortal Cultivation Technique! Did you forget the scene where that other young man fought the Big-Headed Monk just now? They even tore down a house!"

"Then this young man must be a master at slaying demons..."

"Don't talk, let's not disturb him!"

While the crowd whispered, Qin Shaowu held a loaded pistol and kept guard by his side. Seeing Chu Xuan stand up, he quickly went to support him: "Brother Xuan, are you alright?"

"I'm not weak enough to need that." Chu Xuan's face was calm as he indicated he didn't need support. He glanced at his personal panel; his attribute points were used up, and his spirituality value was at 150 points.

After resting for a while, Chu Xuan stood up and walked toward the small courtyard. The crowd parted to make a path, their eyes filled with awe and respect.

Chu Xuan went straight into the courtyard, found Li Guifen, and asked for another bowl of porridge, but she shook her head.

"One bowl... per... day..." Li Guifen said in a long, drawn-out voice.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan helplessly gave up on the plan to recover his state by drinking porridge. After a moment of silence, he said tentatively, "When it gets light, leave this place with me."

This Old Woman was clearly no longer of sound mind. Without someone to look after her, she would likely be eaten by monsters before long.

And for those who had helped him, Chu Xuan would never sit by and do nothing.

Of course, this was also partly due to her special ability. Such a valuable ability naturally tempted Chu Xuan, and he hoped she could work for him.

That being said, if the Old Woman insisted on staying here, Chu Xuan wouldn't force her, and he would provide appropriate help within his capabilities.

Li Guifen stared blankly at Chu Xuan for a while before nodding with a raspy voice, "Good, good, good, I'll go with you..."

Having received a definite answer, a smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face.

Just then, Tang Zheng came jogging up from the bottom of the hill, shouting over the low mud wall of the courtyard, "Chu Xuan, it's your turn."

"So fast?"

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. He scanned the many Specters on the hillside and immediately found that many were still alive, growling as they climbed, the ferocity in their eyes still present.

"My mission count has been reached, that's enough. Plus, my personal Rank has reached Level 2, and all my attribute values have grown significantly. It's a bumper harvest!"

Tang Zheng chuckled: "Chu Xuan, you've been a good brother to me, but I can't be without boundaries. Leave the remaining Specters for you to kill."

Chu Xuan's original intention was to let Tang Zheng kill more Specters to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

After all, the stronger the current Tang Zheng was, the stronger the [Future Tang Zheng] would likely be, which would naturally increase his survival rate and provide even greater help to him.

However, since the other party had put it that way, Chu Xuan didn't waste any more words. He grabbed his blade and went over, finishing them off one by one by decapitation.

As Chu Xuan continuously swung his blade, blood splattered and a foul stench filled the air, but instead of feeling disgusted, he felt a thrill of excitement. This simple and crude way of obtaining spirituality value might not come again in the future.

[You have slain Specter: Parasite, spirituality value +11]

[You have slain Specter: Parasite, spirituality value +14]

[...spirituality value +12]

[...+15]

[...]

The System notifications flashed one after another, and his spirituality value surged rapidly. This feeling of receiving immediate positive feedback for every bit of hard work made Chu Xuan feel incredibly grounded.

This hearty slaughter lasted for a full 2 minutes, harvesting 38 Specters and gaining 495 spirituality value.

Adding the previous 150 points, his spirituality value suddenly soared to 645 points.

At this time, Chu Xuan's spirit attribute had already reached 23 points.

According to the calculation method previously given by the System, "spirituality value Limit = Personal Rank X spirit Attribute X 10," plus the 100 extra points added to the limit earlier.

Chu Xuan's current spirituality value limit had reached 790 points. He still needed 145 points to reach the limit, and he suddenly felt like his wallet was about to be empty again.

But he then thought of the spirituality value rewards that might be given after the task was completed, and his heart grew hot with excitement.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately exchanged for 30 attribute points to store, bringing his current spirituality value down to 345.

Just then, another System notification appeared.

Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly burst with light.

[Detected that your cumulative kill count of Strange Creaturess has exceeded one hundred, reaching the 'Hundred-Kill Achievement.' You may obtain the right to use one Transcendent Skill. The options are as follows:]
