Blood Drop

Bang!

Cracked stones flew everywhere as a Sickle Goat suddenly sprang up from the ground, charging towards Ye Cang.

"Good one!"

Seeing this, Ye Cang showed no fear and met it head-on, holding his God Slaying Sword.

"While killing enemies with Psionic Energy is convenient, without combat experience to match its strength, I'll be no different from a cripple once my Psionic Energy is depleted..."

This was not what Ye Cang wanted to see!

Ding!

The sickle-shaped goat horns collided with Ye Cang's God Slaying Sword, sparking.

The immense clash of power made his arm tremble slightly.

At this moment, several more black shadows flashed, colliding towards him at extreme speed.

Swish!

Ye Cang dodged, simultaneously swinging his God Slaying Sword again.

In less than three seconds, he was already locked in combat with seven Sickle Goats.

The strongest of these Sickle Goats were only at the Intermediate Beast Soldier level, but he didn't kill them immediately.

Instead, he was honing his Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art and Minute Level Movement Technique.

Both of these required a large amount of Life Energy to improve each time. If he could gain some experience in combat, it would save him a lot of Life Energy.

As expected, during the fight, the experience for his Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art and Minute Level Movement Technique steadily increased.

After a moment, seeing the experience gains for both stop, Ye Cang didn't hesitate and made his move.

Splat...

His sword swept across, beheading a Sickle Goat.

Quickly...

The second one!

The third one!

The seventh one!

In less than a minute, all seven Sickle Goats were dead.

Ye Cang glanced at his status panel and was about to collect materials when the ground suddenly shook, and angry roars reached his ears.

The next moment, he saw a massive Sickle Goat, three meters tall, leading over fifty monsters, surrounding him.

"Advanced Beast Soldier strength!"

Ye Cang identified the ferocious beast's strength with a glance using his mental power.

"Using a monster like this as a sparring partner, my combat skills should improve quite a bit, right?"

After some thought, three 'King Slayer Flying Swords' slowly rose from behind Ye Cang.

"Go!"

With a thought, the three flying swords shot out directly, charging into the encircling Sickle Goat horde.

Instantly, blood splattered, and the Life Energy data on Ye Cang's panel rapidly increased.

Ye Cang glanced at it, his heart undisturbed.

This scene was within his expectations.

Currently, each Level 5 'King Slayer Flying Sword' could unleash the power of a Junior General.

For the Sickle Goat horde, whose strongest members were only at the Advanced Beast Soldier level, it was a complete slaughter.

"Meee..."

An enraged roar echoed as the Sickle Goat leader, furious, charged at Ye Cang.

Its speed was astonishing. With a single leap, it covered over a hundred meters, reaching Ye Cang in an instant.

Clang!

The God Slaying Sword met the Sickle Goat's horns, instantly sending Ye Cang flying back dozens of meters.

"Such immense strength!"

Ye Cang exclaimed, his arm feeling numb after the blow.

Generally, the weakest Advanced Beast Soldiers possessed a strength of at least 7000 kilograms.

The low-level Beast General before him likely had a strength of at least 8000 kilograms.

"Meee..."

While Ye Cang was still marveling, the Sickle Goat leader attacked again.

Boom!

The ground trembled as it charged again.

"To hone sword techniques, it's most effective when our strengths are similar. So, it's time to boost my power!"

He muttered, looking at the system panel.

The Sickle Goats around him had already been wiped out by his 'King Slayer Flying Sword', replenishing his Life Energy past a hundred.

It had even reached over two hundred.

[Life Energy: 126]

Based on the three-to-one ratio of Life Energy to attribute points, he now had 42 attribute points.

"System, allocate points!"

With a low shout, he had already decided on the distribution.

As Life Energy continuously decreased, his 'Physique' attribute rapidly grew.

41!

42!

60!

He spent 60 Life Energy to increase his 'Physique' attribute by 20 points, bringing it to 60.

This also meant his strength had reached 6000 kilograms.

A powerful energy spread through his body, his strength rapidly increasing.

"Now, let's fight again!"

Ye Cang sneered and swung the God Slaying Sword.

Boom!

A terrifying clash of powers sent both figures staggering back; they were evenly matched.

"So strong. With the sword technique's bonus, I have 9000 kilograms of strength, yet I'm only barely matching it."

However, Ye Cang's eyes quickly lit up.

Being evenly matched was the best way to hone his Combat Skills and Movement Techniques.

Boom!

The two clashed again.

The battle lasted over ten minutes until it ended. Seeing his sword technique and movement technique experience stop increasing, Ye Cang knew it was time to send this Sickle Goat leader on its way.

Puff...

Before the Sickle Goat could react, a 'King Slayer Flying Sword' pierced its head.

[Life Energy: 74]

Increased by 8!

Looking at the various stats on the system panel, Ye Cang fell into thought.

"As my strength continues to grow, I feel the bonus from my perfected Combat Skill seems to be diminishing."

"If this continues, this sword technique might not be very effective for me anymore."

"Now that I have ample Life Energy, why not check out the Combat Skill realms beyond perfection?"

Hum!

As one point of Life Energy was added to the experience bar after Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art, Ye Cang's mind was flooded with images of him practicing his sword.

Simultaneously, his body involuntarily began to mimic the movements from the images in his mind.

Bit by bit, Life Energy vanished, more and more images appeared in his mind, and the swings of the God Slaying Sword in his hand became denser.

It was like a blood shadow.

Time passed!

A quarter of an hour!

Half an hour!

An hour!

As time flowed, all the blood shadows began to converge towards a single point.

Finally...

Boom!

Ye Cang suddenly stopped his movements and thrust the God Slaying Sword towards the corpse of the Sickle Goat leader in front of him.

Swish!

The sword light flashed like lightning, and all that could be seen was a red dot flickering on the head of the Sickle Goat leader.

The next moment, the Sickle Goat leader's head, which could withstand the strongest blow of a Junior General, exploded into fragments.

"It's finally done!"

Ye Cang panted heavily, but his eyes were filled with joy.

[Combat Skill: Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art (Artistic Conception)...]

During that frenzied sword-wielding process, his swordsmanship finally broke through.

"Since it finally converges into a single point of burst, then this move shall be called Blood Drop!"

As the thought formed in his mind, the data on his system panel changed accordingly.

At this moment, only 12 points of Life Energy remained.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Cang directly added them to his 'Spirit' attribute.

He opened the light blue screen, which displayed his latest strength data.

[Ye Cang (Intermediate Martial Artist, Advanced Psionic Warrior)]

[Spirit: 97]

[Physique: 60]

[Combat Skill: Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Art (Artistic Conception · Blood Drop), Stinger Sword Technique (Basic 23/30)]

[Movement Technique: Subtlety (31/)]

[Life Energy: 0]

"My swordsmanship has broken through. Once I use the 'Blood Drop' Artistic Conception, my strength will double."

"My strength in kilograms seems to have reached the basic standard of a Junior General, right?"

Thinking of this, Ye Cang's heart rejoiced even more.
