Purple Talent, Slaughter!

A week later.

Lu Sheng stood in a vast wilderness.

He wore a combat suit, with a pair of Knuckle Dusters on his fists.

The Knuckle Dusters glinted with chilling flashes of light.

Lan Linglong had specially given this pair of Knuckle Dusters to Lu Sheng. Their quality was excellent, forged entirely from alloy.

Even against Fierce Beasts in the Blood Refining Realm, they could tear through their bodies.

With the Knuckle Dusters, coupled with Arhat Fist at the perfected realm, Lu Sheng's combat strength had risen by an unknown extent.

At that moment, an enormous wolf-like Fierce Beast stood before Lu Sheng, eyeing Su Yu like a tiger eyeing its prey.

The wolf-like Fierce Beast's fur carried strands of purple sheen.

From within its massive body, an immensely powerful aura of blood and qi continuously spread outward.

If there had been martial artists here, they would have immediately recognized this wolf-like Fierce Beast as one at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm!

Purple Moon Wolf!!

Even martial artists with ten points of blood qi would not dare take it head-on!

Yet Lu Sheng stood calmly before the Purple Moon Wolf, motionless as if in Standing Meditation.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!

Scarlet light flickered within the Purple Moon Wolf's savage eyes as it kept growling low, seemingly threatening Lu Sheng.

The next moment, the Purple Moon Wolf shot forward in an instant. Wrapped in an immensely powerful aura, it left behind a purple afterimage as it charged to kill Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly at the sight, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc.

"Are you that impatient to die?"

Lu Sheng murmured softly. As his voice fell, an incomparably surging tide of blood qi erupted directly from his body.

Qi and Blood Ninth Layer!!!

Indeed, over the past week, Lu Sheng had raised his cultivation from the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer to the Qi and Blood Ninth Layer.

He was only half a step away from the Qi and Blood Tenth Layer.

Blood qi surged, pouring into his fists.

Lu Sheng slowly gathered strength. When the Purple Moon Wolf came within less than half a meter of him, Lu Sheng suddenly drove a fist straight across.

BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!!!

Dazzling golden radiance burst forth from Lu Sheng's fist.

Chants of Sanskrit suddenly rang out.

The grim Knuckle Dusters were also shrouded in golden light, giving off a powerful aura.

THUD!

In an instant, the Knuckle Dusters struck the Purple Moon Wolf in the abdomen. The immense force, combined with the sharp Knuckle Dusters—

pierced straight through the Purple Moon Wolf's body in an instant.

Blood sprayed forth.

Along with it, its life force rapidly drained away!

"The third one!"

Looking at the dead Purple Moon Wolf, Lu Sheng murmured softly, a feverish gleam surfacing in his eyes.

He skillfully dissected the Purple Moon Wolf, removed its valuable parts, and placed them in his backpack.

Over the past week, not only had Lu Sheng's cultivation risen to the Qi and Blood Ninth Layer, but he had also honed himself by leaving the city every day to hunt Fierce Beasts.

After killing quite a few Fierce Beasts and selling them in the Black Market, Lu Sheng's wealth had gradually accumulated.

By now, there were already hundreds of thousands in his account.

"As expected, becoming a martial artist is an enormously profitable profession. But likewise, if martial artists want to go further, buying resources also costs a huge amount of money!"

Lu Sheng shook his head.

Though the hundreds of thousands in his account seemed like a great deal, Lu Sheng knew full well that the Limit Breaking Pill previously awarded by the Martial Arts Class could sell for the sky-high price of five hundred thousand in the Martial Alliance.

The money in his account was not even enough to buy a single Limit Breaking Pill.

With that thought, Lu Sheng packed up his things and prepared to head back to Cloud City.

"By my calculations, it is time for my talents to refresh. I wonder what kind of talent I'll get this time!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, anticipation rising in his eyes.

Inside the rental apartment, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on his bed, his gaze fixed on the empty space before him.

A system panel visible only to Lu Sheng slowly appeared.

Host: Lu Sheng!

Cultivation: Qi and Blood Ninth Layer!

Martial Art: "Arhat Fist" (Perfected)

Martial Arts Talent: Level Up! (Purple), Fist Master (Blue), Strong Strike (White), Tenacity (Green), Ronin (White)

Looking at his system panel, Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Looks like I need to find time to cultivate a new martial art. Arhat Fist has already reached perfection. Continuing to cultivate it won't bring any improvement, unless I can extend a path beyond Arhat Fist itself!"

Lu Sheng murmured, then shook his head.

Though Fist Master was powerful, it was still not enough to help him deduce Arhat Fist to a higher realm.

Unless he refreshed a higher-grade fist technique talent later on.

"Better refresh my talents first!"

Su Yu's gaze fell upon the system. Then, with a slight stir of his thoughts—

"System, refresh!"

Ding. Refreshing Martial Arts Talents. Please wait...

The familiar electronic voice rang out in Lu Sheng's mind.

Ding. System refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Purple-quality talent—Slaughter!

Slaughter: For every living creature the host kills, the host will permanently gain one hundred-thousandth of the target's physical attributes!

Purple Talent!!

Lu Sheng's heart jolted violently, and his breathing immediately grew heated.

Ever since he had refreshed Level Up! last time, he had not obtained another Purple Talent for a long while. He only had one Blue Talent, Fist Master.

Most of the rest were White and Green talents.

He had never expected that this refresh would give him a Purple Talent!

"Slaughter..."

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the description of the Slaughter talent.

The more he read, the brighter his eyes became.

"This is an unprecedented growth-type talent!"

Lu Sheng murmured.

"Although it won't be of any help to me right now, as long as I keep killing Fierce Beasts and gradually gaining their physical attributes, then given enough time... my physical attributes will become unimaginably terrifying!!"

Lu Sheng's voice carried a trace of excitement.

The martial path, from blood qi and Blood Refining, to the Hundred Meridians and even the Viscera Refining Realm, was all about strengthening one's physical attributes.

This Slaughter talent before him was undoubtedly the best talent for strengthening physical attributes.

He only needed to keep slaughtering to raise his physical attributes without limit!

"Looks like... I'll need to leave the city and hunt even more from now on!"

Lu Sheng looked at the system panel, blinked, and murmured softly.
