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 and intimidating Shen Lian earns 3,000. Defeating the Old Man in Hemp Clothes earns 120,000. 3 5 145
Killing enemies	Killing martial artists, demons, beasts, sect leaders, and prodigies repeatedly produces rewards. 109 476 597 672
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
Fear and loss of confidence	Wang Ren’s collapsed confidence grants 1,000 points, while Shen Lian’s Fear Value reaching its maximum grants 1,000. 2 5
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
Target status	Ye Li identifies a reward bonus associated with Ross’s position as the White Tower Church’s First Disciple, although the overall reward remains meager by his later standards. 876
Destruction of major powers	The system recognizes the destruction of the Golden Moon Country’s three renowned major powers in addition to individual kills. 218
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
Psychological consequences at a distance	Asel’s Dao Heart nearing collapse after learning of the Rohl Family’s destruction grants points without another direct confrontation. 841
Kills carried out through controlled souls	Ye Li’s controlled souls harvest points from distant sects; a kill notification also follows their finishing off the wounded Three-Headed Lion Venerable. 537 1002

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

During a realm upgrade, the system describes Malice Points as transforming into primal energy and merging with medicinal power to nourish Ye Li’s Dao Foundation. Their expenditure can therefore provide both the energy and cultivation progress required for advancement. 859

Reward Optimization

• A single encounter can generate separate rewards for defeating an opponent, humiliating them afterward, and breaking their confidence. Wang Ren’s defeat produces 200 points for being publicly crushed, 500 for subsequent humiliation, and 1,000 for collapsed confidence. 2
• Ye Li observes that killing generally provides the highest reward when the target is otherwise the same. He speculates that an enemy capable of reviving after a system-recognized death might provide a second kill reward, but this remains a proposed possibility rather than an established repeatable method. 476
• Combining physical defeat with psychological devastation can greatly increase an encounter’s yield. Zuo Guannan supplies most of a reserve exceeding 450 million points after Chu Xiyue’s public kneeling helps shatter his Dao Heart. 1052
• Increasing Ye Li’s realm reduces the value of weaker targets, but does not impose an immediate blanket reduction on all opponents of comparable level. After destroying the Kong and Wang Families, he notes that his concern about shrinking rewards from same-level targets was premature. 335 539 1345
• High-status prodigies can remain profitable without being killed. An Ziqing’s defeat and public humiliation provide a substantial reward, prompting Ye Li to seek further formal challenges against the Great Dao Lineages’ prodigies. 1463

Acquisition Strategy and Distinctions

Ye Li repeatedly treats hostile cultivators and factions as potential sources of points, sometimes welcoming retaliation or allowing unfavorable news to circulate in hopes of attracting stronger enemies. He nevertheless states an early intention to retain his humanity rather than become a heartless executioner solely for rewards. 79 329 614 684

Actions that benefit others can still qualify for Malice Points. Killing the Four Great Demon Lords frees Qingping City while producing a large harvest; his later purge of factions involved in human consumption and blood sacrifice likewise yields substantial points. 520 1415

Malice Points are distinct from the Jade Token competition points collected during the Yin-Yang Sect contest. Ye Li gains both resources from killing the attacking prodigies, but the surplus points he transfers to Pei You’an and Qin Baiyi improve their competition rankings; the passage does not establish that Malice Points can be transferred between people. 1381

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
• Can deduce new methods from existing knowledge. Ye Li spends 10,000 points to deduce the S-Grade Golden Body Technique Immortal Ascending Heavenly Gate, and later integrates two A-Grade Creation Methods into the S-Grade Shouldering the Sun and Moon, True God of the Mortal Realm. 174 331
• Can extensively reconstruct an existing high-level method. Ye Li reworks the Heaven-Refining Spirit Light Canon into the super immortal grade Chaos Creation Scripture, perfecting it through a vast expenditure of points. 984
• High-level realm advancement refines more than raw cultivation reserves: expenditure can strengthen the body, True Spirit, Immortal Power, Natal Laws, cave heaven, and life-bound divine abilities. 1016 1164

Skill enhancement reproduces the results of prolonged practice, giving Ye Li immediately usable proficiency rather than merely changing a displayed statistic. His first upgrades also improve his physical condition and raise his Martial Arts Level indirectly before direct cultivation allocation is used. 2 3

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
• Previously mastered techniques and accumulated understanding can improve later upgrades. Research into the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique grants a 20% training-speed bonus for Dragon Quakes Mountain, while incorporating Baji Quan principles grants a further 30% speed increase and a 10% reduction in point consumption. 20
• Combat experience and an already perfected foundation can reduce breakthrough costs. Before entering the Fourth Tier, the system grants a 100% reduction in the cost of that breakthrough and a 600% increase in the speed of impacting the Heavenly Gate. 86
• Not every related process can be accelerated. The land-vein refinement required for Imperial Command Over Mountains and Seas must be performed through Ye Li’s own mental effort rather than expedited with Malice Points. 299
• Sufficient points do not make supplementary medicines irrelevant. Ye Li has enough points for late-stage Immortal Realm advancement but delays maximizing his cultivation because he lacks suitable medicines; later, advancing without full Treasure Medicine buffs proves noticeably more expensive. 742 1164

Treasure Tool Draws

As Ye Li accumulates Malice Points, the system reveals additional functions, including the ability to draw Treasure Tools. 35

• Ye Li uses the Treasure Tool Roulette to obtain a Purple-quality Thousand Mile Shifting Talisman and Gold-quality Kirin Bloodbath Armor. 174
• 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
