Slaughter Points

Biodata

Power Progression

The table records Hua Qiang’s documented advances using Slaughter Points; the points themselves do not have a realm.

Acquisition

• A killing blow earns points. Hua Qiang’s first mosquito yields one point; a chicken yields two and a pig five 5 6 8.
• More valuable prey can yield far larger rewards. A Red-eyed Steel-toothed Rabbit yields 120 points, a second-tier giant ape 1,020, and an Azure Nether Tiger 10,000 14 17 36.
• Human kills also qualify. Three bandits award Hua Qiang 480, 480, and 960 points respectively 18.
• The reward can reveal whether a target is truly dead. Hua Qiang receives no points when he destroys Di Ritian’s body; the 2-billion-point notification arrives only after he annihilates Di Ritian’s escaping Nascent Soul 201.
• Clone kills contribute to Hua Qiang’s total. Points continue rising as his Formless Clone kills fiends elsewhere, although Hua Qiang cannot absorb their Flesh and Blood Essence through it 1041.

Uses and Limits

• Blood Qi conversion: Ten Slaughter Points provide one Blood Qi. The observed rate remains unchanged when Hua Qiang tests it later 5 297. Applying points can also restore his energy when exhausted 8 340.
• Technique improvement: Points can raise combat-skill proficiency. Hua Qiang spends 280 points to perfect four techniques, and later spends 140 to raise the Mysterious Grade Shadow Dodge from Beginner to Mastered 16 29.
• Technique completion: The Void Panel uses 200 points to complete the incomplete Myriad Life Breath Art, then another 280 to raise it from Beginner to Perfect 35.
• Stored breakthroughs: Hua Qiang sometimes keeps points unspent so he can advance during a dangerous fight rather than expose his rapid growth beforehand 19 50 167.
• Rising costs: As his cultivation increases, small rewards become less useful. He estimates that a later realm breakthrough requires over a hundred million points 161.
• Star-denominated rewards: Later notifications report Slaughter Points in “Stars” or as “Star-level Slaughter Points,” rather than the earlier plain totals 749 832.
