Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 364 - 305: The Profound Strange Young Lady Who Lost Half Her Family Fortune
In the silent cultivation room, Su Yuan looked at the three available rewards with a satisfied smile.
After so many days of hard work, it was finally time to reap the benefits.
The first reward Su Yuan claimed was the "Special Attack on the Holy Land of Evil Extermination (Level 2)."
Upon choosing to receive it, he immediately felt a mysterious and profound change in his body.
It wasn’t the first time he’d experienced such a transformation, which gave him a faint suspicion.
Could it be that Abyssal Magic Vein, Deceitful Art Constitution, and Deceitful Martial Constitution and other constitutions would be passed on to the next generation?
Would the Su Family become a super family in the Blue Star Federation in the future?
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Special Attack on the Holy Land of Evil Extermination (Level 2)!" ]
[Special Attack on the Holy Land of Evil Extermination: You have acquired the Deceitful Sword Constitution.]
[The Holy Land of Evil Extermination is a sacred land for Sword Cultivators, with Sword Dao and the Way of Evil Extermination as its true teachings.]
[Every cultivator born from the Holy Land of Evil Extermination takes slaying demons and eradicating evil as their duty. They are seen as thorns in the eyes of the Demon Dao, the greatest threat among the Ten Great Sacred Lands.]
[Effect of Deceitful Sword Physique Level 1: Any kill-level attack aimed at the head (long-range/short-range), the first strike will be instinctively dodged 100%.]
Oh? This is equivalent to top-level head agility, right?
With this ability, you can easily dodge long-range flying sword sniping or other assassination methods, avoiding the pitfalls faced by the brainiac of the Meile Sect.
Not bad, not bad. It adds another life-saving ability on the battlefield.
After all, although Su Yuan could achieve near-immortality through connecting to the Sea of Blood, if he couldn’t activate the Boundless Dao Seed and was instantly killed by a sword, then having a vast Sea of Blood was useless.
With this effect, unless it’s an irresistible force, he could never be taken by surprise and killed.
Although ’Deceitful Sword Physique Level 1’ can only dodge the first-time kill, and becomes ineffective if attacked a second time by the same person, the effect can refresh after disengaging from combat.
But in most situations, as long as he dodges the first-time kill, having the chance to connect with the Sea of Blood is enough.
If even the Sea of Blood can’t withstand the enemy’s powerful attack, then nothing would help.
[Effect of Deceitful Sword Physique Level 2: You can counteract all Evil Extermination Techniques that are supposed to restrain the Demon Dao.]
This ability feels even better.
During the monthly exam, Zhuo Lixin’s Righteous Swordsmanship and Pan Yunqing’s Haori Swordsmanship restrained Su Yuan with great discomfort.
But now, he can directly reverse the Celestial Spirit!
Whoever dares to use righteous methods in front of him, he can counter with Demon Dao techniques, catching his enemies off guard.
The greatest shortcoming of being a demon has finally been addressed.
Praise for ’Special Attack on the Evil Extermination Sword Sect!’
After adapting to the Deceitful Sword Constitution, Su Yuan then turned to the ’Sword Spirit Awakening (Self-Selected)’ reward.
He took out the Chi Yuan Sword and activated Demon Technique·Finger Weapon to establish a mental connection with Chi Yuan.
"Chi Yuan, I’m about to help you fully awaken your spiritual wisdom. It might be a bit painful, so bear with it."
The Chi Yuan Sword immediately sent a thought to Su Yuan, filled with excitement, worry, and nervousness.
With a thought, Su Yuan claimed the reward and immediately used it, selecting the Chi Yuan Sword as the target for the sword spirit awakening.
However, to Su Yuan’s surprise, the sword spirit awakening ritual didn’t begin immediately, but instead, a choice appeared on the system panel.
[Please specify a finished sword spirit to consume its spiritual wisdom as the resource for awakening the new sword spirit.]
[Optional Sword Spirit: Profound Strange Sword Spirit]
[Note: The sword spirit whose spiritual wisdom is consumed will gradually recover its wisdom over time.]
After seeing this option, Su Yuan was somewhat speechless.
This damn system is even tighter than me? Are they trying to save currency?
You’d think a system could effortlessly upgrade a Spirit Sword from thin air, so why do they have to freeload off my other sword spirit’s spiritual wisdom!
However, if it’s just freeloading from the Profound Strange Sword Spirit...then it’s fine.
Because it’s actually a good thing, the Profound Strange Sword is strong, but it’s just too cunning.
Su Yuan doesn’t like such overly smart, self-centered, and disloyal sword spirits.
The sword spirit he doesn’t like can be dumbed down directly!
Even if it’s just for a short period, that’s okay.
Thinking this way, Su Yuan felt grateful to the damn system.
No other words, let’s activate the Chaos World System!
The next second, the Profound Strange Demon Sword in Su Yuan’s dantian suddenly trembled.
Perhaps realizing it was being targeted by a terrifying presence, the Profound Strange Sword Spirit cried out in alarm:
"Su Yuan, what are you going to do to me again? I’ve already been tormented so miserably by you, can’t you just let me go?"
Su Yuan didn’t respond, only quietly watching the Chi Yuan Sword in front of him and the sword spirit awakening progress bar on the semi-transparent system panel.
As the progress bar continued to increase, the red light from the Chi Yuan Sword grew stronger, almost painting the entire cultivation room blood red.
At the same time, the struggling Profound Strange Demon Sword gradually weakened in its resistance.
Feeling the timing was about right, Su Yuan tentatively asked the Profound Strange Sword:
"We are the best of friends, how could I possibly do something bad to you? You just must have had a nightmare."
The voice of the Profound Strange Sword Spirit sounded, carrying an indescribable clarity and foolishness:
"It seems so, I feel unprecedentedly clear-headed now, the crisis I felt earlier must have been an illusion."
"Su Yuan, I shouldn’t have doubted you, I’m sorry."
Su Yuan: "..."
Goodness, now the Profound Strange Sword has been turned into a fool.
Not only did his speech take on a trend similar to Qi Hanyan, but his words even became more polite.
"If the Profound Strange Sword keeps being this foolish, perhaps... I can directly contract dual lifebound swords."
Su Yuan suddenly got the idea that "you are all my wings" in his mind.
In fact, there was never a rule that a lifebound sword could only be contracted with one sword.
If a cultivator was adept at using female and male dual swords, could it be possible to have one contracted as a lifebound sword, but not the other?
Aside from these female and male dual swords, which are inherently one, ordinary spirit swords are extremely exclusive.
Once a spirit sword occupies the position of a lifebound sword, it will never allow other enchanting swords to challenge its main position, which is why most sword cultivators only have one lifebound sword.
However, if the lifebound sword can coexist peacefully with other spirit swords, with both swords serving one master, all issues could be resolved.
And from the looks of this silly Profound Strange Sword, as long as Su Yuan deceives it properly, his idea of dual lifebound swords should be achievable.
Thinking along these lines, the sword spirit awakening progress finally reached 99%.
He quickly focused his spirit and looked at the crimson spirit sword floating before him.
The next moment, as the progress bar reached a hundred percent, a blood-red light suddenly surged from within the Chi Yuan Sword, enveloping the entire sword while transforming into a humanoid silhouette.
Once the silhouette fully solidified, a semi-transparent girl in a red dress, looking about sixteen with exquisite and adorable features and silver hair and red eyes, appeared before Su Yuan.
Su Yuan stared blankly at the red-dressed girl in front of him, filled with disbelief.
No way... Chi Yuan, how did you directly take a form!
When a sword spirit initially awakens, shouldn’t it be able to only communicate with its master within the sword?
For a sword spirit to take form, it should at least undergo years of cultivation.
Comparatively speaking, a sword spirit without form is like a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, while a sword spirit that can project into the world is like a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Doggy system, isn’t your sword spirit awakening service a bit too thorough?
Or, is it because the Profound Strange Sword’s spiritual intelligence level is relatively high, and after being fed to the Chi Yuan Sword, it caused Chi Yuan to undergo further transformation during the sword spirit awakening?
After pondering repeatedly, Su Yuan felt the latter situation was more probable.
Nonetheless, it’s an unexpected joy no matter what.
Seeming to be a bit embarrassed due to Su Yuan’s prolonged stare, the red-dressed girl, Chi Yuan, lowered her head shyly.
"Master, you’ve been looking at me. May I ask if there’s something strange about me?"
Chi Yuan’s voice was like a cold, clear spring, giving off an aloof feeling.
But when speaking to Su Yuan, this cool spring suddenly became demure and gentle.
Su Yuan came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said:
"Your appearance after taking form is perfect and fits right into my aesthetic, nothing wrong at all."
The red blush immediately spread across the dainty face of the red-dressed girl.
Looking at this obedient, lovely artifact spirit before him, Su Yuan was naturally quite satisfied.
Compared to the scheming with the Profound Strange Demon Sword, this little padded jacket is indeed much more endearing.
However... Su Yuan vaguely recalled the scene when he shared a ride with Chen Nuoyi on the Chi Yuan Sword on a highway in Taihua City.
It seemed that, because of Chi Yuan Sword’s strong possessiveness toward him, he felt a chill on his neck back then.
Now that Chi Yuan has taken form, her personality should... change a bit, right?
Su Yuan shook his head, deciding to temporarily set aside such thoughts, and claimed the last reward.
Spirit Sword Level Enhancement (Selectable) (Claimed)
Select Spirit Sword: Chi Yuan Sword.
Then, an option that was both surprising and unsurprising appeared before Su Yuan.
[Please specify a finished spirit sword, using its essence as nourishment to strengthen the new spirit sword.]
[Selectable Spirit Sword: Profound Strange Sacred Sword]
Good heavens, the dog system really knows how to shear the same sheep!
The Profound Strange was already foolish, and now you’re bullying it?
Aren’t you afraid of shearing the Profound Strange Sword bald?
However, despite his words, Su Yuan clicked confirm with no hesitation.
A [Spirit Sword Upgrading] progress bar immediately appeared on the system panel.
The reason Su Yuan decided to sell the Profound Strange Sword so decisively is quite simple too.
It’s not because he truly wished to destroy the Profound Strange, but because it was too abundant.
From the Profound Strange Sword Spirit’s varied behaviors and its master’s attitude towards it, this demon sword’s level might already surpass the Nascent Soul level.
Reaching the legendary... Divinity Transformation level.
The gap between Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation is greater than that between ordinary people and Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the same goes for spirit swords.
If the Profound Strange Sword is truly a Divinity Transformation Spirit Sword, then simply using a portion of its essence would suffice for Chi Yuan Sword to ascend to Nascent Soul Spirit Sword.
As for who to make up for the lost essence?
That would depend on the future performance of the Profound Strange Sword. If it performs well, Su Yuan certainly won’t treat it badly.
It seemed that due to the Profound Strange Sword Spirit becoming more foolish, it didn’t react at all when its essence was extracted.
Su Yuan thought for a while, then proactively started bonding with the Profound Strange Sword Spirit, stating that Chi Yuan is her unrelated younger sister, and since the two swords flow with the same essence energy, they should peacefully coexist, and so forth.
After a series of deceptions, the Profound Strange Sword Spirit actually believed it, agreeing to let Chi Yuan Sword become Su Yuan’s second lifebound flying sword.
However, after this operation, Su Yuan felt as if he were the villain in a fairy tale.
An evil villain, in collusion with a bad woman named Chi Yuan, tricked the lonely and vulnerable Profound Strange young lady into turning into a fool, and forcibly divided half of the Profound Strange family’s assets.
Such guilt...
