I opened the System Panel.
[Luo Feng: Beginner War God. Spiritual Telekinetic: Advanced War God (79/1280 experience)] [Blade Technique: Proficient (92/500 experience)] [Movement Technique: Micro-Level (347/500 experience)] [Nine-Layered Thunder Blade: Third Layer (212/1280 experience)] [Azure Dragon Bloodline Concentration: 0.07% (Can Evolve)] [Points: 4984]
After half a month of slaughter, not only had I replaced all my equipment, but my points had also climbed to nearly 5,000.
That was more than enough points to spend.
I started by increasing my level, spending over 1,000 points.
In the next instant, my physical attributes reached Intermediate War God Level, and my Spiritual Telekinesis reached the peak of the War God level.
Huh? In the original story, the Dark Golden Sphere in my sea of consciousness cracked open after I reached Advanced War God Level. Why doesn't it show any sign of cracking, even though I've reached the peak of the War God level in this life?
Could it be because I've been practicing Magic? Has that strengthened my spiritual power?
Then just how high can my Spiritual Telekinesis grow on its own?
I sensed my increased physical attributes and Spiritual Telekinesis, wondering to myself.
After all, I'd only absorbed the memories of a young man from Earth named Luo Feng. My understanding of Swallowed Star was only general, so I hadn't known exactly how large the Dark Golden Sphere in my mind was.
What I didn't know was that the moment I fused with the Linley Template, the Dark Golden Sphere in my mind had grown considerably. On top of that, I'd been practicing Magic, so the sphere hadn't been depleted by much. That was why it hadn't cracked, even though I'd reached the peak of the War God level.
[Luo Feng: Intermediate War God. Spiritual Telekinetic: War God Peak (0/2560 experience)] [Points: 3783]
My spiritual power can grow on its own, too. If I raise my Martial Artist level to Advanced War God, will my spiritual power naturally break through to Planetary Level?
Looking at the updated stats on the System Panel, I wondered to myself.
With that thought, I immediately continued spending points.
Ding! Another 2,560 points were deducted.
A few seconds later.
[Luo Feng: Advanced War God. Spiritual Telekinetic: War God Peak (0/20000 experience)] [Points: 1223]
I sensed my Spiritual Telekinesis grow as soon as I spent the points, but there was clearly no feeling of a qualitative change. I knew my Spiritual Telekinesis still hadn't reached Planetary Level.
Looks like Planetary Level and Apprentice Level really are major thresholds. They're not easy to break through.
I could tell from the experience required that the points needed to reach Planetary Level had increased almost tenfold.
Since I didn't reach Planetary Level, I've still got over a thousand points. I'll use them to strengthen my other abilities.
A Spiritual Telekinetic at War God Peak, and on my own turf, no less. No matter how strong that Space-Splitting Dragon Lizard is, it shouldn't be able to beat me. Getting some blood should be easy enough.
I thought to myself.
As for why this was my turf, it was because we were in a mine, where the earth element was extremely dense.
With my current War God Peak spiritual power, I could cast Level 9 Magic. Combining Spiritual Telekinesis with Magic would make my fighting style even stranger and more unpredictable when I went all out. Even an ordinary first-stage Planetary Level fighter might not be able to beat me in these underground caves.
But I wasn't satisfied yet. I looked at my remaining points and kept spending them.
My Movement Technique was just a little short of Perfect Level. The mine tunnels below were complicated, and reaching Perfect Level would be a great help in the battles ahead.
I upgraded it immediately.
A few seconds later, I shuddered.
[Movement Technique: Perfect (0/1000 experience)] [Points: 1070]
I still had 1,070 points. I glanced at the System Panel and quickly decided what to do next.
The tunnels were narrow, so close-quarters combat was unavoidable.
This was a good chance to upgrade the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade. With the strength of an Advanced War God and the Third Layer of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, which multiplied force by 2.8, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage in melee combat.
I didn't hesitate any longer.
Ding! Upgrade successful.
[Nine-Layered Thunder Blade: Fourth Layer (0/2560 experience)] [Points: 2]
Awesome! This cheat really is awesome.
I thought to myself.
But once the excitement wore off, I was left without a single point.
My strength, however, had truly undergone a massive leap forward.
Standing on his shield, Luo Feng flew toward the depths of the mine, full of confidence.
"The slaughter begins!"
I flipped my hand, and an SS-Rank Battle Blade appeared in it. Its streamlined shape resembled a crescent moon, and its blade was purple.
Eight Flying Daggers appeared around me, spinning in formation.
Two were dark gold, and six were dark red. The two Dark Golden Spheres were SS-Grade Flying Daggers dropped by the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle, an Advanced Lord. The remaining six were the S-Rank Flying Daggers the System had awarded me at the very beginning.
Flying at high speed, I set off a series of sonic booms.
The commotion quickly caught the attention of the Space-Splitting Lizards near the cave entrance below.
By the time they reacted, I had already reached the entrance.
"Hiss~~"
"Hiss~~"
The moment they saw me, the Space-Splitting Lizards dug in with all four legs and charged. They were enormous, their bodies covered in fine scales that glinted coldly in the dim light.
Their triangular heads twisted as rows of icy vertical pupils fixed on me. Their mouths gaped open, displaying rows of sharp teeth like daggers, while viscous strands of liquid dripped from their jaws.
I showed no fear. I'd only seen pictures of Space-Splitting Dragon Lizards online before, and they hadn't looked too bad.
But up close, these Space-Splitting Lizards were absolutely disgusting. I hadn't seen any pictures of Lord-Rank Space-Splitting Dragon Lizards online, but since they evolved from these lizards, I figured they probably didn't look much better.
The thought of drinking the blood of such an ugly creature made me feel like I couldn't stomach it.
They were too disgusting.
Maybe I should forget it this time and kill an East Sea Azure Dragon instead. It looks a lot like the Divine Beast Azure Dragon from Chinese legends. Now that's what a dragon should look like.
But since I'd come all this way, I might as well start killing. They were all worth points, and I'd just spent all mine. I needed to replenish them.
Having no points was like having no savings. It made me feel uneasy.
I stopped thinking about it and controlled the eight Dark Red Flying Daggers, sending them shooting toward the first few Space-Splitting Lizards like streaks of light.
"Squish!"
"Squish!"
The daggers pierced the Space-Splitting Lizards' eyes with pinpoint accuracy, bursting into sprays of blood. Several of them fell with shrill cries, their bodies twitching on the ground.
[ Ding: Killed an Advanced Beast General-level Space-Splitting Lizard. Reward: 0.6 points.] [ Ding: Killed an Advanced Beast General...] [...]
The System's notifications for points gained kept ringing in my ears.
