System Mechanics
Malice Points are awarded when Ye Li performs acts recognized as malicious by the Malice System. The system’s stated principle is that the strong should humiliate the weak; its final criteria for recognition remain undisclosed. 1 10
| Trigger / Factor | Documented Effect |
|---|---|
| Verbal abuse | Insulting Shen Lian grants 500 points, followed by another 300 points for further abuse. 1 |
| Defeating or injuring hostile opponents | Defeating Wang Ren earns nearly 2,000 points; severely injuring Shen Lian earns 3,000. 3 5 |
| Killing enemies | Killing martial artists, demons, beasts, sect leaders, and prodigies repeatedly produces rewards. 109 145 476 597 672 |
| Public executions and humiliation | Publicly killing targets can produce major gains; the system also recognizes the collapse of opponents’ Dao Hearts. 106 329 485 597 |
| Target hostility | Defeating opponents who genuinely harbor hostility toward Ye Li yields normal rewards, while targets lacking such hostility may grant only negligible amounts. 35 |
| Target strength and intelligence | Higher-tier intelligent beasts yield more points than weaker beasts, though still less than martial artists of equivalent rank. 109 |
| Ye Li’s rising realm | Weak opponents gradually cease to meet the system’s kill-recognition threshold, making low-level sects poor sources of points. 539 |
Ye Li theorizes that inflicting suffering on others or deriving pleasure from an action can lead to rewards, but he has observed exceptions even when both conditions are present. 10
Uses
Attribute Allocation
Malice Points can be injected into relevant system entries to increase their progress. Ye Li first uses them to enhance martial skills, and later applies them directly to his Martial Arts Level. 1 3
- Can rapidly raise martial-skill proficiency, including from novice levels to perfection. 3 9 67
- Can increase Ye Li’s Martial Arts Level and force breakthroughs despite poor aptitude or adverse cultivation conditions. 3 10 244 921
- Can upgrade spiritual powers such as Indestructible Golden Soul and Soul Control. 188 841
- Can upgrade, deduce, and integrate cultivation methods. 160 331 567 873
- Can enhance high-level martial skills, including Ice Dragon True Intent, Nine Heavens Abyss Shock Canon, and Myriad Calamity Annihilation Finger. 99 529 645
Cultivation Constraints
Point expenditure is affected by Ye Li’s available methods, resources, and bodily condition.
- Missing manuals or cultivation resources can drastically reduce the speed of an upgrade. 9
- Attempting cultivation without an appropriate refinement method can produce negative buffs, including reduced cultivation speed and increased risk of Qi deviation. 43
- Precious medicines can improve cultivation speed and lower the Malice Point cost of breakthroughs. 507 664 880
- Directly deducing a top-tier cultivation method from nothing is exceptionally expensive and may be impractical even with hundreds of thousands of points. 314
Treasure Tool Draws
As Ye Li accumulates Malice Points, the system reveals additional functions, including the ability to draw Treasure Tools. 35
- Ye Li later spends his remaining points on the lottery panel and obtains multiple Treasure Tools. 645
- The Treasure Tool Roulette remains a potential use for surplus points when cultivation advancement is unavailable or inefficient. 643
