37: Shipping copy ends

Not long after, Shi Yan received a notification that the mission was complete.

"The efficiency is decent."

Shi Yan smiled faintly; he was ready to leave directly.

As for how Jing Yi would return, he didn't need to worry; the teleportation crystal would automatically send the summoned person back after a period of time.

Regarding how to seek revenge on Tian Song, Shi Yan had already memorized the place name.

Anyway, each area wasn't completely sealed off, so he could easily return once he became stronger.

Dungeon countdown: 3... 2... 1...

Shi Yan's eyes flashed, and he appeared in the Slaughter Paradise's settlement space.

Calculating dungeon rewards...

Your slaughter points +2000.

Your level has increased to LV10, mana increased by 40 points.

Attribute points +20.

Mission rating: S.

You have obtained S-grade equipment: Bloodthirsty Long Blade.

Tip: Your level has reached LV10; the next dungeon will automatically transform into a promotion dungeon.

A long blade appeared on the ground in front of Shi Yan.

The entire blade was seven feet long, with no handguard.

The hilt was dark black, and its end had a protruding, ferocious ghost face.

Blood-colored patterns were carved on the hilt.

For some reason, when Shi Yan saw those patterns, he always felt they were a bit similar to the patterns after his Blood Tattooed Transformation.

The entire blade was blood-red, not an ordinary light red, but a scarlet red that seemed to be forged from fresh blood.

Shi Yan subtly twitched his nose, as if he could smell a faint scent of blood.

"This blade is not simple."

Shi Yan had practiced with a blade before he transmigrated and had some understanding of blades, so he could tell at a glance how extraordinary this blade was.

Shi Yan stepped forward and touched the hilt of the Bloodthirsty Long Blade with his right hand.

The moment his right hand touched the hilt, Shi Yan felt his Blood Mark Control activate involuntarily.

Strange blood marks emerged from Shi Yan's right hand.

Those blood marks connected with the blood-red lines on the hilt, and Shi Yan fully gripped the hilt of the blade.

Shi Yan looked at the blade's description.

Bloodthirsty Long Blade (S-grade): Indestructible.

Can absorb fresh blood from the target it strikes.

Each time high-quality fresh blood is absorbed, the user's physique can be improved (whether the blood is high-quality is judged by the user's physique).

"A divine weapon!"

Shi Yan couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the description.

As expected of S-grade equipment, it was incredibly powerful.

The strength of this blade lay in its ability to continuously improve the user's physique attribute through constant slaughter, and this was the most important point.

"With this blade, I can truly be invincible."

"I just don't know how high-quality the 'high-quality fresh blood' needs to be?"

Shi Yan's face showed a hint of excitement as he licked his lips.

He was ready to go on a killing spree.

Shi Yan first put the long blade into his spatial ring and opened his attribute panel.

Name: Shi Yan.

Level: LV10.

Mana: 166.

Physique: 215.

Soul: 80.

Attribute points: 20.

Shi Yan put all his attribute points into Soul.

The higher the Soul attribute, the higher the resistance to various control-type skills.

Shi Yan's luck had been pretty good so far; he hadn't encountered monsters specializing in control-type skills.

Moreover, with the Bloodthirsty Long Blade, the improvement of his Physique attribute would no longer be an issue.

Shi Yan returned to his room.

It was bright daylight.

He remembered the prompt from the dungeon settlement earlier.

"What is a promotion dungeon?"

Shi Yan became slightly curious.

He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and opened the Slaughter Paradise forum to browse.

After a while, Shi Yan decisively chose to give up, as there were simply too many forum posts, and countless new posts appeared every moment, making it an endless scroll.

Searching for a single piece of information among these countless forum posts was simply too much of a test of luck.

Shi Yan got up, picked up his phone nearby, and decisively dialed a number.

A charming female voice answered from the other end of the phone.

"Shi Yan, why are you calling me?"

"I want to ask what a promotion dungeon means?"

Shi Yan's calm voice sounded.

"A promotion dungeon is a dungeon you experience every ten levels.

The difficulty of this dungeon will be higher than the previous ones, and if you don't pass it, you won't be able to level up."

After listening, Shi Yan said thank you and ended the call directly.

In a single office in the Security Department far away, Wang Qian looked down at her phone, which showed the call had ended, with a hint of resentment on her face.

After Shi Yan learned what the so-called promotion dungeon was, he didn't pay any more attention to it.

He would know when the time came anyway.

Suddenly, the system panel's prompt sounded.

Shi Yan clicked open the panel, and a message appeared on it.

Your dungeon [Netherworld Academy] has been completed once, earning 1000 slaughter points.

He had forgotten that he still had ownership of a dungeon.

This thing should also be tradable.

Shi Yan thought about it for a moment and decided to keep it for now; who knows, it might have other uses in the future.

Shi Yan rested at home, browsing the forums when he had nothing to do, seeing what interesting things there were.

Soon, the day passed, and Shi Yan entered the bathroom to shower.

As the shower sprayed, clouds of steam gradually filled the entire bathroom, and the entire mirror in the bathroom was covered with mist, making it blurry.

The sound of water slowly diminished.

A well-defined and fair hand covered the mirror, and with a gentle wipe, a face with disheveled hair and a handsome demeanor appeared on the mirror.

Shi Yan examined himself in the mirror.

His current body was already very different from his initial self.

His entire body was distinctly muscular, not the kind of bulging muscle that looked like it was about to explode, but the kind of lean, powerful muscle that was evident at a glance.

His entire body was streamlined.

The more Shi Yan looked, the more familiar it felt, as if he hadn't transmigrated at all, still that top assassin who traveled all over the world.

His current self was very close to his pre-transmigration self, both in appearance and body.

Shi Yan dried himself, walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, picked up a glass of milk, and sat down by the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed as he fell into thought.

It had been some time since Shi Yan transmigrated to this world, but why was he becoming more and more like his pre-transmigration self?

Could it be that his physical body also transmigrated and became smaller due to an unknown reason?

Otherwise, there was no explanation for why he looked more and more like his pre-transmigration self.

Shi Yan thought for a while but didn't continue to ponder it.

After all, how these things were didn't really matter.

What mattered was that he was very satisfied with his current life.
