Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 338 - 281: Fate Point Allocation! Demon Technique·Finger Beast!
In the following few days, Su Yuan stayed honestly in the Evil Extermination Department for exam preparation.
The joint monthly exam includes a written test phase, covering Spiritual Runes and General Education.
With Su Yuan’s Foundation Establishment Stage memory, he can easily pass the exam even with casual studying, but to become the first in the monthly exam, he cannot be careless on the written test.
At least he needs to score full marks, so he has to cram last minute and review the knowledge points.
Otherwise, if he wins the main test but loses the written part, it would be quite embarrassing.
Of course, although he himself is no longer in the School of Earth and Wood, his connection with the Senior Brothers of Earth and Wood has not been cut off, and the Earth Evil Qi continues to flow steadily.
As the deadline for the joint monthly exam draws closer, the construction of the Secret Realm of the Forbidden Heaven becomes increasingly complete.
Su Yuan is not the only one working hard for the monthly exam.
The Second-Year Seed Class of the Evil Extermination Department is like this, and so is the Second-Year Seed Class of the Sword Dao Department.
Like Su Yuan and the other two, Chen Nuoyi and Xiao Kong of the Sword Dao Department will also take the joint monthly exam with their Second-Year Seed Class.
The Sword Dao Department and Evil Extermination Department have always been the two ace departments of Evil Extermination University.
Therefore, the overall strength of the Second-Year Seed Class of the Sword Dao Department is in no way inferior to the Evil Extermination Department of the same year, with a Saintess who has completed the first stage of Divinity Transformation Inheritance presiding.
The difficulty of the monthly exam rules on both sides is comparable, and the pressure is equally great.
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi agreed that no matter the results in the monthly exam, whoever finishes the exam first will go to watch the other’s exam scene.
In the urgent and intense exam preparation, time finally came to the eve of the monthly exam, October 24th.
On this day, Su Yuan specially left the University City and came to the Primordial Sect Headquarters.
Because the Secret Realm of the Forbidden Heaven is only one step away from completion, and the Tribulation Moon Pearl is about to transform.
Su Yuan himself is unsure whether any anomalies will occur when the Tribulation Moon Pearl transforms, so he stays alone in the underground floor of the headquarters building, completing the final work.
With the last trace of Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi pouring into the two great secret realms.
The four progress bars of the [Sect’s Treasure] task finally reached 100%!
Su Yuan’s consciousness sank into the Tribulation Moon Pearl, carefully observing the changes in the Tribulation Moon Space.
The next second, the Corpse Mountain, Sea of Blood, and the four great secret realms moved.
They each projected a phantom, overlapping one another.
With the sky as the cover, the earth as the house, Corpses Mountain as the continent, Sea of Blood as the river, the four great Heaven and Earth Secret Realms formed a semi-transparent crimson full moon.
Under Su Yuan’s astonished gaze, this crimson full moon directly detached from the Tribulation Moon Space and slowly fused with the entire Tribulation Moon Pearl, becoming indistinguishable.
Once the moon phantom completely merged with the Tribulation Moon Pearl, no anomalies appeared as Su Yuan had imagined.
However, he could clearly feel that the connection between the Tribulation Moon Pearl and himself, as well as the entire Primordial Sect, had become more intimate.
Every movement seemed to draw upon an unseen force that affects every aspect of the Primordial Sect.
That force is known as Fate.
[Task: Sect’s Treasure (Completed)]
[Task Reward: Demon Technique·Finger Beast (Level 3) (Available)]
[Sect System Updated!]
Su Yuan skimmed through the task completion prompt he had expected and looked at the last prompt.
"The Sect System is updated? Is it related to the Sect’s Treasure?"
With a thought from Su Yuan, the interface of the Sect System opened.
Sure enough, a [Sect’s Treasure] branch option appeared next to his Sect Leader position.
Upon clicking it, a row of data appeared before Su Yuan.
[Tribulation Moon Pearl: Sect’s Treasure]
[Sacrificial Refining Level: 30%]
[Suppressing Fate: 1800/10000]
Su Yuan glanced at these two lines of data and understood.
Sacrificial Refining Level refers to the degree of his refining of the Tribulation Moon Pearl.
Since Su Yuan is just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he cannot perfectly refine the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure, so having this bit of Sacrificial Refining Level is very normal.
Suppressing Fate indicates that the Tribulation Moon Pearl can suppress a fate limit of 10,000 points, but currently, the Primordial Sect Fate is only 1,800 points.
But what is the use of this Fate?
It can’t be just for looking, right?
Su Yuan thought for a moment and opened his Sect Leader position.
[Su Yuan: Sect Leader]
[Today’s Fate: 28 (+)]
In the original Sect System, Su Yuan’s Sect Leader information was empty, with no points to add.
Now, finally, there is a project where points can be added!
This immediately lifted Su Yuan’s spirits.
"Good gracious, this is how the Sect Fate is used!"
"Although I only have twenty-eight points of Today’s Fate, I haven’t had any negative situations all day, indicating this is my normal fate value."
"If I directly add one hundred points of fate, wouldn’t I soar?"
In just a moment, Su Yuan thought of the usage of fate.
There’s nothing in this world that strong fate cannot resolve, as long as the fate is high enough, a Qi Cultivation cultivator can thwart a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If it’s not enough, it just means your fate isn’t high enough!
What is this? It’s a kind of real-time adjustable protagonist halo!
However, after the initial excitement, Su Yuan soon calmed down.
Although adding fate points is exciting, the cost is also very significant.
The Primordial Sect has been established for more than a year, yet it has only managed to accumulate a mere 1,800 Luck Points, which proves the preciousness of luck.
Using the sect’s luck recklessly for momentary petty gains without consideration for its development is no different from draining the pond to catch all the fish.
Moreover, he absolutely cannot expend all of this luck, because if too much is used, the Primordial Sect’s momentum would plummet rapidly, surely leading to misfortunes, and possibly even closure!
Thinking of this, Su Yuan was suddenly struck with a thought.
"Perhaps the sects such as the Chaotic Sword Hall, Juque Sect, etc., which were bankrupted by the master, were influenced in terms of luck."
"So, my master is simply a black hole of luck, capable of siphoning the sect’s luck!"
Su Yuan felt as if he had discovered the truth.
He really wanted to bring Taibai Phecda into the Primordial Sect to check if he had any related talent.
If he did, it would undoubtedly be a Colorful Talent.
It’s a pity that the Primordial Sect’s luck couldn’t withstand Phecda’s impact; this idea could only be dismissed after circling Su Yuan’s mind.
However, the examples of Chaotic Sword Hall, Juque Sect, and Imperial Sword Sect served as a cautionary tale for Su Yuan.
He set a standard for himself: with 1,800 Luck Points, he would allocate at most 300 points.
Once the sect’s luck reaches around 1,500, he would immediately seal the Luck Allocation function and wait for the Primordial Sect’s luck to rise again before proceeding.
With this calculation, he could use some luck on the day of the joint monthly exam.
It was worth consuming some sect luck to obtain those ten Hidden Points.
But how much luck exactly should be expended would depend on the circumstances at the time.
Then, Su Yuan checked the data panel of the Primordial Sect members and noticed that "Today’s Luck" appeared in their panels too.
However, very few members could allocate luck points within the Primordial Sect.
Only the Vice Sect Leader, Left and Right Envoys, Four Great Heavenly Kings, and Eight Great Hall Masters had the qualification to add points.
The rest could only see the luck but could not add points to it.
Nevertheless, that was sufficient; all the friends worth spending luck to help were in the high ranks of the Primordial Sect.
Even if there were any who slipped through the net, they could be promoted when it was necessary to add points to them.
However, the sect’s luck is not like the contribution points of Primordial Sect members; it is entirely under Su Yuan’s control.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would never let anyone use it aside from himself and the Vice Sect Leader, because that would be cutting his own flesh!
At the same time, Su Yuan also discovered that the average daily luck varies between different realms and potentials.
Take Wu Xingqi, who is still at the Qi Cultivation Stage, for instance; her Today’s Luck is only 9 points, which is her daily luck average.
Foundation Establishment Stage Wu Ziying has a daily average luck of 16 points.
Yet for employees at the first and second levels of Qi Cultivation, their luck values were only two or three points, but in daily terms, their luck was similar to Su Yuan’s.
The higher the basic luck, the more sect luck is required to change one’s fortune via point allocation.
Initially, Su Yuan was extremely displeased with this rule, thinking that this dog system had set him up, forcibly suppressing his combat power!
However, after thinking carefully, Su Yuan realized that this rule was very logical.
Because between ordinary people, Qi Cultivation cultivators, and Foundation Establishment cultivators, the definition of opportunity is completely different!
For a high school student in the Qi Cultivation Stage, suddenly picking up one hundred thousand dollars on the street, does this count as good luck?
Of course, it counts as good luck, and if this high school student happens to be poor, a hundred thousand dollars could even change his fate.
Reflecting in the Luck Value, Today’s Luck can be twice as high as usual.
But for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a hundred thousand dollars is just two or three days of wages, a small stroke of luck, far from enough to change fate.
In terms of Today’s Luck, it’s merely five or six points more than usual.
Once a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s luck can double, then the opportunities gained would far exceed one hundred thousand dollars.
Realizing this, Su Yuan was forced to admit that the dog system’s Luck Value standard was entirely correct.
There are no loopholes to exploit.
Su Yuan somewhat helplessly accepted this fact.
After closing the sect system, he looked at the task rewards he could claim, the Demon Technique·Finger Beast (Level 3).
Confirmed to receive.
The next second, a torrent of knowledge rushed into Su Yuan’s mind, rapidly absorbed and digested by him.
The effects of the Demon Technique·Finger Beast also appeared in front of Su Yuan.
[Demon Technique·Finger Beast: Designate a Spirit Beast to establish a mental connection, conducting Beast Taming through mental communication.]
Oh? The initial effect is equivalent to a Beast Taming Contract?
Remember that Beast Tamers have a limit on the number of Spirit Beasts they can contract; could it be that Demon Technique·Finger Beast breaks this limit directly?
[Secondary Effect Added: Enlightenment]
[Enlightenment: Can greatly increase the Spiritual Wisdom of the target Spirit Beast, lasting three days.]
Tsk tsk, this must be the ability Beast Tamers dream of.
Ten Demon Fingers indeed live up to being banned jointly by ancient cultivators, a single Demon Finger can crush an entire industry, who can withstand this?
[Tertiary Effect Added: Enslavement]
[Enslavement: Stimulates the innate slave nature of the Spirit Beast; as long as the target’s Spiritual Intelligence Level does not exceed the caster’s, the target’s Enslavement Level can be forced to reach 60%.]
Hiss—
If this function is discovered by the Animal Protection Agency, that would be the end, wouldn’t it?
Speaking of which, the Demon Race in the Ancient Cultivation Realm was also a very powerful force, reportedly producing nearly two-digit Divinity Transformations, once rivaling the Human Race.
Cultivators who mastered the Beast Demon Finger back then likely ended up on their kill list.
No wonder the Beast Demon Finger would be lost; attracting the enmity of an entire race, the inheritors wouldn’t survive long.
Fortunately, he, Su Yuan, lives in the greatest era of the Human Race.
As long as he uses this ability secretly, without being discovered by the Animal Protection Agency, it should be fine... right.
