Purple Talent, Slaughter!

A week later.

Lu Sheng stood on a vast wilderness.

He was dressed in a combat suit, with a pair of knuckle dusters on his fists.

The knuckle dusters glinted with a cold sheen.

These knuckle dusters were a special gift from Lan Linglong to Lu Sheng. Their material was excellent, forged entirely from alloy.

They could even tear through the bodies of Fierce Beasts in the Blood Refining Realm.

With the knuckle dusters, combined with the perfected Arhat Fist, Lu Sheng's combat power had increased immeasurably.

At this moment, before Lu Sheng, an extremely massive wolf-like Fierce Beast stared at him menacingly.

The wolf-like Fierce Beast's fur had a faint purple sheen.

Its enormous body emanated a powerful Blood Essence, constantly surging outwards.

If any Martial Artist were present, they would undoubtedly recognize the wolf-like Fierce Beast before them as one at the peak of the Blood Qi realm!

A Purple Moon Wolf!!

Even a Martial Artist with ten points of Blood Qi would not dare to confront it head-on!

Yet, Lu Sheng stood calmly before the Purple Moon Wolf, motionless as if rooted to the spot.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

The Purple Moon Wolf's savage pupils flickered with a scarlet glow, and it growled continuously, as if threatening Lu Sheng.

In the next moment, the Purple Moon Wolf's figure exploded forward, enveloped in an incredibly powerful aura, leaving a purple afterimage in its wake as it charged at Lu Sheng.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng's brows twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile.

"So eager to find death, are we?"

Lu Sheng murmured softly. As his voice fell, a surge of incredibly vigorous Blood Essence erupted from his body.

Blood Qi Layer Nine!!!

Indeed, during this past week, Lu Sheng had cultivated his realm from the Qi and Blood Seventh Layer to the current Blood Qi Layer Nine.

He was only half a step away from Blood Qi Layer Ten.

Blood Essence surged, flowing into his fists.

Lu Sheng slowly gathered his strength. Just as the Purple Moon Wolf was less than half a meter away from him, Lu Sheng thrust his fist forward horizontally.

Hum, hum, hum!!!

Brilliant golden light erupted from Lu Sheng's fist.

Chants of Sanskrit suddenly rang out.

The sinister knuckle dusters were also enveloped in golden light, emitting a powerful aura.

Thump!

Instantly, the knuckle dusters landed on the Purple Moon Wolf's abdomen. The immense power, combined with the sharp knuckle dusters, pierced the Purple Moon Wolf's body in an instant.

Blood gushed out, and its life force rapidly drained away!

"That's the third one!"

Looking at the dead Purple Moon Wolf, Lu Sheng murmured slightly, a hint of fervor appearing in his eyes.

He skillfully dissected the Purple Moon Wolf, extracting its valuable parts and placing them into his backpack.

This past week had not only allowed Lu Sheng's cultivation to reach Blood Qi Layer Nine, but it was also due to him venturing out of the city daily to hunt Fierce Beasts and hone his skills.

After killing numerous Fierce Beasts and selling them on the black market, Lu Sheng's wealth had gradually accumulated.

Currently, Lu Sheng had hundreds of thousands of funds in his account.

"As expected, becoming a Martial Artist is a highly profitable profession, but likewise, for a Martial Artist to advance further, purchasing resources requires a large amount of capital!"

Lu Sheng shook his head.

Although his account had hundreds of thousands, which was a lot, Lu Sheng knew very well that the Limit Breaking Pill previously awarded by the Martial Arts Class alone could sell for a high price of five hundred thousand in the Martial Alliance.

The money in his account wasn't even enough to buy one Limit Breaking Pill.

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

"Calculating the time, it's almost time for talent refreshing. I wonder what kind of talent I'll get this time!"

Lu Sheng murmured slightly, a hint of anticipation welling up in his eyes.

In his rented room, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on his bed, his gaze fixed on the void before him.

A system panel, visible only to Lu Sheng, slowly materialized.

[Host: Lu Sheng!]

[Cultivation: Blood Qi Layer Nine!]

[Martial Arts: "Arhat Fist" (Mastered)!]

[Martial Talent: [Level Up!] (Purple) [Fist Master] (Blue) [Strong Strike] (White) [Resilience] (Green) [Ronin] (White)!]

Looking at his system panel, Lu Sheng's brow twitched slightly.

"Looks like I need to find some time to practice new martial arts. 'Arhat Fist' is already mastered, and practicing it further won't yield any more improvements, unless I can extend it into a subsequent path based on 'Arhat Fist'!"

Lu Sheng murmured, then shook his head.

Although [Fist Master] was powerful, it wasn't enough to help him deduce 'Arhat Fist' to a further realm.

Not unless a higher-tier fist technique talent was refreshed later.

"I should refresh my talents first!"

Lu Sheng's gaze fell upon the system, and with a slight movement of his mind.

"System, refresh!"

[Ding, refreshing Martial Talent, please wait…]

The familiar electronic voice sounded in Lu Sheng's mind.

[Ding, system refresh successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the purple-quality talent - Slaughter!]

[Slaughter: Every time a creature is killed, the host will permanently gain one hundred-thousandth of the killed target's physique!]

Purple talent!!

Lu Sheng's heart jolted violently, and his breathing became fervent.

Ever since he last refreshed [Level Up!], he hadn't refreshed a purple talent for a long time. He only had [Fist Master] as a blue talent.

Most of them were white and green quality talents.

He hadn't expected to refresh a purple talent this time!

"Slaughter, huh…"

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

The more he read, the brighter Lu Sheng's eyes became.

"This is an unprecedented growth-type talent!"

Lu Sheng murmured.

"Although it offers no help to me right now, as long as I kill Fierce Beasts later and gradually gain their physique, after a long time... my physique will become incredibly terrifying!!" Lu Sheng's voice carried a hint of excitement.

The path of a Martial Artist, from Blood Qi, Blood Refining, Hundred Meridians, all the way to Viscera Refining Realm, was all about strengthening one's physique.

And the [Slaughter] talent before him was undoubtedly the best talent for strengthening one's physique.

By simply killing continuously, one could infinitely improve their physique!

"Looks like... I'll need to venture out of the city to hunt even more!"

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