188: Chapter 188: Upgraded again, LV.5

One of the functions of [unpeekable]: Detection-type skills below Rank 3 will be ineffective against you (including Rank 3).

Zhang Qiang's [Mind Reading] skill is Rank 4, and the new lie detection equipment among the Night Watchers was developed with Zhang Qiang's assistance; this is indisputable.

Therefore, Azure Dragon absolutely cannot be Zhang Qiang!

Could it be Luo Xiaotian?

After all, when he purchased [unpeekable] through the points mall, Luo Xiaotian was right beside him, so it is not strange that the other party knows this item blocked Mind Reading.

However, as soon as this thought emerged, Chu Xuan immediately denied it.

In a previous dream, Luo Xiaotian was once ambushed by the erupted Specter-fied Bald Man, who punched through his chest and crushed his heart; Chu Xuan still vividly remembers this.

With Azure Dragon's strength, how could he possibly be killed by such an ambush?

Could it be that the reason the other party knows the name of his equipment is also the result of some kind of detection skill or item, which, although unable to detect him, can detect unpeekable?

"This item cannot be taken away; has it been authenticated by you?"

A drifting voice rang out: "Take it off yourself; I don't want to kill you all right now..."

"You cannot kill me, and I will definitely find you!" Chu Xuan's gaze was burning as he stared fixedly at the humanoid Smoke before him.

The next second, a scorching white light flared, swallowing everything and turning it all into nothingness.

The talent time limit has been reached!

...

"Chu Xuan... Chu Xuan..."

A muffled call sounded in his ears, and Chu Xuan slowly woke up.

"Let's go quickly!"

Seeing Bai Yunfei's dirty face again, Chu Xuan directly told him that there was danger here, that they needed to leave immediately, and that they should report to Ming Xiucheng.

This time, Chu Xuan again used the excuse that his talent was overused and he needed to rest to return first.

On the way, Chu Xuan glanced at his spirituality value; he had used up all his spirituality value in the dream, but now it had become 500.

Huh? The 500 spirituality value he had input into the spirit Bead in the dream had been returned?

Chu Xuan was slightly stunned, then immediately took out the spirit Bead.

"As expected..." Chu Xuan muttered in his heart.

At this moment, the spirituality value in the spirit Bead remained unchanged, still 500.

It seems that in the dream, only spending spirituality value on himself would truly consume it; other uses are ineffective after waking up.

No longer dwelling on this, Chu Xuan spent the remaining 40 attribute points to raise his Strength and agility to 40 points; the pain and soreness involved were self-evident.

The System prompt appeared again, indicating an overloaded state, but Chu Xuan did not care at all, instead focusing on the next prompt.

[You have met the requirements for leveling up. Do you wish to consume 400 spirituality value to increase your personal Rank? Current personal Rank: LV.4]

— — Level up.

[You have consumed 400 spirituality value]

[Current personal Rank: LV.5]

[Remaining spirituality value: 100]

Chu Xuan let out a long breath; he had finally reached Rank 5, and the conditions for the Purifier mentioned by [Future Tang Zheng] were not far off.

"Congratulations, my friend, you have leveled up again."

The Phantom Demon's voice rang out at the right moment. Chu Xuan did not waste words, directly spending 20 spirituality value to exchange for attribute points, then added them to Charm, raising it to 17 points.

[Your Transcendent Skill, Heart Bewitchment, has been enhanced by a power of the same source...]

"Phantom Demon, you talk too much. Given that you have repeatedly violated our agreement, the nine-one split agreement is hereby void! From now on, you must help me search for Specter locations without compensation until you find a new vessel!"

Chu Xuan said coldly.

The Phantom Demon is always peeking, and the posture of popping out now and then to say a few words is not something Chu Xuan wants to see.

He wants to use the momentum of this level up to change their way of interacting.

Additionally, the term of his agreement with the Phantom Demon had expired; from now on, if he were to use the other party to search for and slay Specters, he would need to give the other party 10% of the spirituality value as a reward.

This was not something Chu Xuan wanted to see, but he had long known that this talk of a split was just a pretense.

What the other party really wanted was always to increase the Charm attribute.

Therefore, Chu Xuan's act of increasing his Charm value without saying a word could also be considered as indirectly boosting the other party's confidence.

"You... how can you be like this? You are breaking your word!" The Phantom Demon's voice trembled, appearing extremely furious.

"In the past, my strength was weak, so I naturally had to be cautious when facing you. But now I am already Rank 5, and I will become even stronger in the future; do I still need to care about your thoughts?"

Chu Xuan's lips curled slightly, his tone full of threats: "Do you agree or not? Otherwise, I will add all my attributes to Charm; you only have this one path to choose!"

"Damn it!"

The Phantom Demon's voice was full of anger: "You are pushing people too far. Who knows if you will continue to threaten me by increasing your Charm once your spirituality value becomes higher and higher?"

"Then wouldn't it be better if you found a new vessel sooner? Do you think I want to have a scourge like you in my body all the time?"

A flash of light passed through Chu Xuan's eyes.

He naturally knew that the Phantom Demon could not change vessels; the purpose of these words was to tell the other party that as long as you do not find a new vessel, I will continue to add points to Charm in the future.

And the underlying content of the latter sentence was to tell the other party that, in fact, I am still very wary of you and do not want you to stay in my body for long.

Therefore, next, at this Rank 5, Chu Xuan does not plan to slowly add points to increase attributes, but rather to accumulate spirituality value.

This is to create the illusion that he is going to add all points to Charm at once, but in reality, he will use them instantly when his spirituality value reaches the conditions for the Purifier.

This is just Chu Xuan's preliminary plan; how things will proceed next depends on the actual situation.

But before that, the real great enemy is still Azure Dragon.

Marking, Smoke, Flame, Heart Bewitchment, White Falcon; as of now, all the many abilities displayed by Azure Dragon, except for Steal, can correspond to the abilities of the Night Watchers.

It can be almost certain that Azure Dragon is hiding within the Night Watchers squad; the other party must have some special means to be able to use these abilities.

After returning to the villa, he found that Li Guifen had woken up early and had cooked a pot of porridge. Upon seeing Chu Xuan, she immediately went to scoop out a bowl and brought it to him.

"My son... eat..." Li Guifen's expression was dazed.

"Okay." A smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face. Looking at this emaciated, elderly woman, Chu Xuan's tense nerves somehow relaxed a little, as if he had truly returned home.

After drinking the bowl of porridge, the overloaded state disappeared, and he instantly returned to Peak state.

Subsequently, Chu Xuan took out a few stamina and spirit strengthening potions he had exchanged from the mall that were intended for ordinary people and had no side effects, and handed them to Li Guifen.

Watching her drink them, although she still looked aged and decrepit with cloudy eyes, her spirit was clearly much better. Even her steps when returning to her room were a bit lighter, and Chu Xuan could not help but smile.

"Chu Xuan, you seem to have something on your mind?" Xu Zhiyou walked over and sat beside Chu Xuan; he and Lin Tong had already moved in last night.

"Oh?"

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, the smile still on his face: "Where did you see that from?"
