Three Yuan Battle Art: Extreme Breakthrough!

Pu!

The Puppet Demon Spider's foreleg pierced Lu Qingshan's right leg, and he let out a muffled groan.

He plunged his long saber into the Puppet Demon Spider's body and gave it a vicious twist.

Hiss!

The human-like face on the Puppet Demon Spider's head contorted, growing two sharp fangs that bit down fiercely.

With his right leg pinned, Lu Qingshan couldn't dodge and could only block with his saber.

Sparks flew as the fangs collided with the blade.

At this moment, an agile figure was leaping down from the city wall, rushing towards the two of them.

This person was Wei Fan, who had been waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing that Lu Qingshan and the Puppet Demon Spider had both sustained injuries, Wei Fan knew it was the perfect chance to strike and immediately decided to act.

Even Shi Meng didn't realize when Wei Fan had charged out.

As Wei Fan ran, his body swelled to two point four meters, his muscles forged like fine steel, and tiger stripes appeared on his blade.

"?" The Puppet Demon Spider, which had been locked in a struggle with Lu Qingshan, suddenly felt a sense of danger.

But before it could react, a flash of silver light streaked through the air, and the blade in Wei Fan's hand accurately plunged into the Puppet Demon Spider's head.

Then, tens of thousands of pounds of force erupted, tearing the Puppet Demon Spider's body apart.

"Ding, killed a White Grievance Level Monstrosity, Energy +50."

The system's voice chimed, and Wei Fan confirmed the Puppet Demon Spider was dead.

Thump, thump, thump!

Shi Meng also rushed over, looking at Wei Fan with a face full of shock.

"Xiao Fan, you... how are you so strong?"

In that instant, Shi Meng felt like Wei Fan was a stranger.

He had only joined the Night Watch Team a few days ago, yet his strength seemed to surpass Shi Meng's own.

Shi Meng admitted to himself that he wouldn't have been able to act as decisively as Wei Fan in this situation.

Especially when facing a powerful Grievance Level monster like the Puppet Demon Spider, any normal person would feel fear.

"Just had a breakthrough mid-battle!" Wei Fan smiled.

Now that he had gained a large amount of energy, he didn't mind revealing some of his strength.

Turning around, Wei Fan was surprised to find that Lu Qingshan had already fainted, and his right leg was oozing black blood.

"Poisoned?" Wei Fan severed the Puppet Demon Spider's foreleg.

"This is bad, let's get Captain Lu treated first!" Shi Meng quickly picked up Lu Qingshan and hurried back into the village.

Wei Fan glanced at the corpse of the Puppet Demon Spider, slung it over his shoulder, and carried it back to the city wall.

The night was as cool as water, and the torches stuck in the rock crevices crackled.

Wei Fan stood alone on the city wall, gazing at the dark wilderness around him, his heart filled with an immense calm.

"System, allocate points!"

Wei Fan summoned the system, and his status panel appeared alongside it.

Name: Wei Fan

Cultivation Technique: Tiger's Breath Art True Intent Level

[True Intent State: Special Effects: Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might.]

Iron Ridge Art True Intent Extreme

[True Intent State: Special Effects: Immovable as a Ridge, Counter Shock, Counter Injury.]

Three Yuan Battle Art Fifth Layer (Can undergo Extreme Breakthrough)

Silver Light Saber Art Entering the Hall and Entering the Room (Can be upgraded)

Energy: 60

With 60 energy points now, he could finally undergo Extreme Breakthrough for Three Yuan Battle Art.

"I wonder how powerful this cultivation technique, which requires 50 energy to break through, will become!"

Wei Fan thought to himself.

"System, initiate Extreme Breakthrough for Three Yuan Battle Art!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, mysterious energy appeared out of thin air once more, transforming Wei Fan's body.

He felt his physical strength increase again, and his muscle density grew.

Most importantly, the three Qi Vortex Nodes in his chest had suddenly doubled, growing to six.

"Does this mean my strength can erupt sixfold?" Wei Fan rejoiced inwardly.

But immediately after, the Qi Vortex Nodes doubled again, growing to a terrifying twelve.

The twelve Qi Vortex Nodes were distributed at every joint in his body: two in each limb, three in his chest, and one in his abdomen.

"Hiss, a twelvefold burst?" Wei Fan couldn't help but gasp.

Only after a few breaths did this change finally end.

At this point, Wei Fan's body had grown to two and a half meters tall, like a giant.

Twelve red glows lit up his entire body, containing explosive power.

"My pure physical strength is now nearly ten thousand jin. If you add the twelvefold burst, that's a colossal force of one hundred thousand jin!"

Wei Fan clenched his fist, a sense of security he had never felt before surging within him.

He then retracted his bulging muscles, returning to his normal height of 1.8 meters.

Wei Fan decided to save the remaining 10 energy points for now.

Glancing at the corpse of the Puppet Demon Spider, Wei Fan took out a porcelain bottle and crouched down, beginning to collect the venom contained within it.

The poison that even Lu Qingshan, who was in the Blood Rage Realm, couldn't withstand was extremely lethal. Collecting it might be useful later.

The night returned to its tranquility, with no Oddities appearing.

After another two sticks of incense had burned, Shi Meng returned to the city wall.

His gaze towards Wei Fan was filled with complexity.

"I took Captain Lu to the Talisman Master. He's no longer in critical condition."

After speaking, Shi Meng thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Fan, your strength is so great, would you like to be the Vice Captain?"

"Are there any benefits to being a Vice Captain?" Wei Fan inquired.

"Compared to a Night Watcher, the Vice Captain receives better benefits.

You'll receive more silver and food each month, and you'll be able to learn more cultivation arts.

You're also freer than a Night Watcher; you only need to provide support in areas where distress signals are sent at night."

Shi Meng explained.

With Zhao Long and Zhao Hu now dead, and Lu Qingshan injured, the defensive strength of Wushan Village was unprecedentedly fragile.

Shi Meng's brow furrowed, and his expression became grim as he thought of the terrifying nature of the Oddities.

"I agree to be the Vice Captain!" Wei Fan said after some thought.
