7: Attribute points surged, and strength underwent a dramatic transformation!

A surge of heat appeared out of nowhere.

It flooded into Lu Chen's entire skeleton, filling the gaps within his bones.

Instantly.

Lu Chen felt his strength multiply several times over, and his agility had increased significantly!

He quickly opened the System panel.

This time, as expected, the attribute point data was unlocked.

[Name]: Lu Chen

[Race]: Little Skeleton

[Rank]: Rank 0, Level 1

[Strength]: 1.2↑1

[agility]: 2.2↑2

[Physique]: 0.2

[spirit]: 52.1

[Talent: Thick-Skinned]

(Thick-Skinned: Your flesh and bone defense is increased by 10%.)

[Exclusive Talent]: Infinite Gold Affixes

(Note: The host receives one gold affix every time their Rank increases; gold affixes apply to the host themselves.)

(Current Gold Affixes: 1)

[Affix Library]: Infinite Plunder

(Infinite Plunder: When you kill any creature, there is a chance to plunder some of its attributes, skills, or talents.)

No wonder his strength and agility felt so much higher.

It turned out his original Strength, agility, and Physique were all just 0.2!

No wonder the monsters in the Necrotic Abyss could blow him apart with a single breath, and even the mobs in the Secret Realm could shatter him with a single kick.

Lu Chen's expression darkened.

However, his spirit was as high as 52.1... exceptionally excellent.

It made sense, though, considering he had spent at least several hundred years in the Necrotic Abyss.

It was just that, for now, his spirit didn't seem to have any practical use.

As for that last low-level talent, [Thick-Skinned], a 10% defense boost was barely passable.

He carefully sensed the attribute panel.

Lu Chen gained a bit of understanding; a normal adult's four basic attributes fluctuated around 1 point.

Lu Chen squeezed his finger bones.

He stared at the Demon Goat, which was no longer moving.

A single mob had yielded 3 attribute points and a talent.

It seemed the trigger rate for Infinite Plunder wasn't low!

Lu Chen looked around; many monsters were hiding in the bushes and the woods.

They were all resources for him to become stronger!

Glancing at Lu Chen standing before the Demon Goat's corpse, Sun Feifei couldn't help but stick her tongue out at Ning Xiwei.

"Xiwei, I've noticed your Little Skeleton is a bit vengeful. The Demon Goat kicked his kidney, so he slit its throat."

"It deserved it! Who told it to kick the Little Skeleton!"

Ning Xiwei said huffily.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, Lu Chen might have been kicked into several pieces.

Sun Feifei didn't say anything but gave Ning Xiwei a thumbs-up.

At that moment.

A streak of brilliant spiritual energy surged out of the lifeless Demon Goat.

Then it split into three and entered the bodies of the three of them.

Sun Feifei felt her strength increase and said with a look of joy:

"This is the great thing about Secret Realms. When monsters here die, spiritual energy appears and actively enters nearby living beings, raising their Realm.

This is much faster than we can Cultivate on our own.

However, converting spiritual energy into strength also depends on talent!"

Sun Feifei pouted.

"That Genius from our Third Middle School has entered Secret Realms about as many times as I have and killed a similar number of monsters, but they're already at Rank 1, Level 5, while I'm only at Rank 1, Level 2."

Ning Xiwei felt the same way.

She felt that after the spiritual energy entered her body, only a small portion was converted into her own strength, while most of the rest dissipated.

As for Lu Chen...

He sensed the spiritual energy drill into his skeleton and soak directly into his bones.

And then it was gone.

Good grief!

His talent for converting spiritual energy was completely maxed out.

Sweet!

The faster he leveled up, the sooner he could unlock new gold affixes.

Infinite Plunder had directly opened a path for Lu Chen to become a god of attributes.

What about the next gold affix?

Lu Chen's upper and lower jaws clicked together as he let out a rattling laugh.

"I'll go lure more monsters. Let's try to earn enough for the next Secret Realm's ticket!"

Sun Feifei commanded her Variegated Fierce Tiger to leap out.

A wolf-like monster with a similar build to the Demon Goat, brown all over with blood-red eyes, jumped out from the bushes.

"It's a Burrowing Wolf!"

"Little Tiger, bite it!"

The Burrowing Wolf twisted in mid-air, dodging the Variegated Fierce Tiger's Pounce. It dropped into a hole and then emerged from the grass behind Sun Feifei.

"Don't come over here!"

Most of Sun Feifei's skills were focused on her summons.

Her own strength wasn't great; she couldn't beat a Rank 0, Level 7 Burrowing Wolf in close combat.

*Bang!*

Ning Xiwei leaped into the air, her long, straight right leg tensing instantly as she kicked and crushed the Burrowing Wolf's throat.

The Burrowing Wolf fell to the ground, its breathing becoming shallow as it neared death.

Nearby, although Lu Chen could sense the Burrowing Wolf's movement trajectory.

His current attributes were simply too low, so he could only remain a spectator.

Seeing the Burrowing Wolf on the verge of death.

The small flames in Lu Chen's eye sockets flared up.

Attribute points were coming.

With his agility already at 2.2, Lu Chen managed to slice the Burrowing Wolf's carotid artery with his finger bones before Sun Feifei's staff could strike.

Because he had 1 extra point of Strength.

It made Lu Chen feel that slicing through the Burrowing Wolf's flesh was much easier than it had been with the Demon Goat.

[Infinite Plunder triggered successfully]

[Strength +2]

[Skill Gained: Pounce]

Lu Chen's [Strength] at this moment: 3.2↑2

His strength had doubled once again.

Similarly, a wisp of spiritual energy drifted out from the Burrowing Wolf's corpse and entered the three of them.

"Good grief, so he likes to get the killing blow."

Sun Feifei lowered the staff she had been aiming at the Burrowing Wolf's head and gave Lu Chen a strange look.

Ning Xiwei withdrew her gaze from Lu Chen.

She wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but she felt her Little Skeleton seemed to have grown a bit stronger.

She looked at Sun Feifei and smiled:

"Let's go with it; let him have the killing blows."

Following that, the two girls left the final strike of every monster to Lu Chen.

[Strength +1]

[Strength +5]

[Physique +2]

[agility +7]

[Skill Gained: Flicker]

[Talent Gained: Saber-Tooth]

[Skill Gained: Heavy Strike]

...Three hours later.

Lu Chen had delivered over a hundred killing blows.

The two girls were panting for breath. The three of them rested where they were to recover their stamina.

Lu Chen opened his panel.

[Name]: Lu Chen

[Race]: Little Skeleton

[Rank]: Rank 0, Level 5

[Strength]: 151

[agility]: 98

[Physique]: 101

[spirit]: 66

[Talents: Thick-Skinned, Saber-Tooth, Iron Armor]

[Skills: Pounce, Flicker, Heavy Strike, Charge, Charging Slash, Horn Strike]

[Exclusive Talent]: Infinite Gold Affixes (Current Gold Affixes: 1)

[Affix Library]: Infinite Plunder

The panel at this moment could be described as nothing short of magnificent!

Even his Realm had reached Level 5, bringing him closer to the next new affix!

Compared to his initial panel, it was a world of difference!

It was just that his spirit attribute points were increasing a bit slowly.

Lu Chen pondered.

It seemed that the spirit attribute was rarer than the other three dimensions.

The talents and skills he had newly plundered were all quite ordinary.

It was understandable, given they were on the outskirts of the Secret Realm.

"Hmm?"

In Lu Chen's perception, many life signatures suddenly appeared around them.

They were Secret Realm monsters!

Born spontaneously from the Secret Realm, but the speed of their emergence far exceeded the norm!

"Feifei!"

The perceptively sharp Ning Xiwei stood up immediately, her expression wary.

"There are so many monsters around us."

"We're surrounded!"

Sun Feifei's face turned pale as she hastily summoned her Variegated Fierce Tiger to protect them.

"Little Skeleton, come here."

Ning Xiwei called out to Lu Chen.

What was she doing?

Although Lu Chen was puzzled, he walked over.

Just as he stood beside Ning Xiwei.

Lu Chen saw the young girl turn around, positioning her body with Sun Feifei and the Variegated Fierce Tiger to form a triangle, surrounding him.

Protecting him in the center.

This Little Girl was trying to protect him again.

Truly adorable!

Lu Chen smiled.

However...

This time, it's my turn to protect you!
