There were no casualties in this collective mission. The total time taken was 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 25 seconds. You were the main force in assassinating the King, playing a decisive role, and you personally executed the King in the end...

...

As the list of reward options appeared, Chu Xuan was dazzled, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the [Battle Combat] skill.

However, upon seeing the redemption price, he had no choice but to give it up.

At this moment, Chu Xuan finally understood what Jian Mei had meant when she said to save contribution points instead of using them, accumulating them for the next mission, where he might be able to redeem something better.

Unfortunately, Chu Xuan had not obtained a Contract Mark; his ability to go to the War Dragon World to participate in the mission was entirely due to [Future Tang Zheng], which was an accident.

He might not have such an opportunity to participate in other missions in the short term.

With a flash of thought, Chu Xuan immediately made a decision: he would spend all his contribution points this time, using them entirely to improve his strength.

Immediately, Chu Xuan found a substitute skill.

Unyielding!

In the battle against King Seth of Dona, Chu Xuan clearly realized the importance of this skill. It was precisely because of this skill that the opponent could remain at Peak combat power like an undying cockroach.

Conversely, Chu Xuan's own combat power had nearly been significantly reduced due to his injuries. If he hadn't compensated for the gap through other means, he would have almost been dragged to death by the opponent.

[You have redeemed the Transcendent Skill: Unyielding (True Authority). Remaining contribution points: 100]

Next was the "Berserk" skill and the "Armor of Light"; Chu Xuan immediately gave up on these two rewards, which were almost useless to him at the moment.

Following that, Chu Xuan chose the "soul crystal" and "Basic neural reaction speed increase" rewards. The former was clearly a scarce resource that the improvement of All-Cutting Slash could not do without, and the latter was a valuable percentage increase.

Undoubtedly, both were must-haves.

[You have obtained soul crystal x10]

[Basic neural reaction speed permanently increased by one percent]

With 40 contribution points remaining, Chu Xuan chose to exchange them all for spirituality value.

While the spirituality value limit and health points limit were good, and in the Late Stage when both accumulated, perhaps quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes.

But for Chu Xuan right now, the most important thing was to find ways to improve his strength in all aspects within a short period.

The hand that felt like the sky collapsing earlier had sounded an alarm for him; the "God's Must-Kill Guidance" had already made him possess a special Specter-attracting constitution.

In the War Dragon World, he could still avoid disaster by returning via the mission.

But after returning to his own world, where could he hide?

He had to improve his combat power and survival rate in the shortest time with the highest cost-effectiveness. Only by becoming strong now and surviving first could he consider the future.

[You have obtained 2000 spirituality value]

[Current spirituality value: 5582]

With all reward selections completed, Chu Xuan immediately set to work on improving his strength.

The current environment here was the same as when he was in the dormitory; it was clearly influenced by some rule that prevented the windows from being damaged.

In other words, a Specter event was happening here!

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. First, he spent 800 spirituality value to raise his current personal Rank to LV.9.

Immediately after, he spent 3600 spirituality value to redeem attribute points, adding 10 points each to stamina, strength, agility, and spirit, bringing them all to 114 points.

Finally, he spent 200 spirituality value to redeem skill points and, along with the 10 soul crystal he had just obtained, upgraded the Rank of All-Cutting Slash.

[Your Exclusive Skill: All-Cutting Slash Rank has been upgraded to LV.3]

[All-Cutting Slash LV.3: You can condense up to 50 Slash in your body by consuming spirituality value and release them at any time to attack enemies.

Each condensation requires 10-30 spirituality value; the more spirituality value consumed, the more powerful the condensed Slash.

Cooldown time: 3 seconds.

Note: When each of your Slash is released, you can consume additional spirituality value to attach the Fire of Nirvana.]

With 982 spirituality value remaining, Chu Xuan began to condense Slash in his body, spending only 10 spirituality value each time. He did not focus on quality; he prioritized increasing the quantity first.

For Chu Xuan at the moment, low-level Specter could be killed with a wave of his hand. The key was the S-rank Specter; if they possessed a real stamina attribute, they would be very difficult to kill, requiring constant chipping away at their health.

But by combining All-Cutting Slash with the Fire of Nirvana, it was completely different.

Furthermore, [Future Tang Zheng] had once said that the rules of this world had changed again, and some Specter might possess a must-die rule similar to the Azure Dragon's "Death Mark".

Having such a trump card ready at all times could prevent potential disasters.

After two and a half minutes, Chu Xuan had consumed 500 spirituality value to condense 50 Slash in his body.

At this point, Chu Xuan had 452 spirituality value remaining.

This was specifically reserved for the Fire of Nirvana and would not be used casually. From now on, no matter what kind of Specter he encountered, Chu Xuan would have a certain level of confidence in dealing with it.
