Chapter 2: Green phosphorus snake

The next instant.

A stream of information appeared in his mind, allowing him to quickly understand how to use the System.

Simply put, this was an attribute point allocation System.

“Divine Power” represented Mental Energy.

And “Body” represented his own strength, defense, speed, and various other functions.

A normal person’s strength averaged around 1-3, which meant they could punch with 100 kg to 300 kg of force.

Exceeding 300 kg, one could be called an Elementary Martial Apprentice.

His ability to reach a value of 5.5 was thanks to the foundation of this body.

According to the data, this body could unleash about 550 kg of force.

As for “Life Energy,” it was a special energy produced by living organisms, which he could obtain after killing them.

Using “Life Energy,” he could increase the attribute points of “Body” and “Divine Power,” making himself stronger.

At the same time, he could also add Combat Skill experience, allowing him to master Combat Skills more quickly.

When he finally saw this information, Ye Cang was greatly astonished.

Compared to the increase in strength, the improvement of Combat Skills was even more important.

Strength could be compensated with resources, but the extent to which one could unleash their full power depended on the ethereal Comprehension Ability.

This was also the standard that determined whether a person was ordinary or a Genius.

Now that the System could add experience points, then he… was a peerlessly rare Genius!

“Ye Cang, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and catch up.”

Not far away, Captain Lin Yan’s shout came.

Ahead, Captain Lin Yan held something like a tablet computer, leading the way.

They were heading towards the edge of the Wilderness Area.

Hearing this, Ye Cang quickly caught up with the main group, but his heart was already burning with excitement.

However, while advancing, he studied the cheat-like attribute point allocation System that had appeared.

The so-called ‘Combat Skills’ were means to unleash power, by which one could exert strength beyond their own capabilities through special methods.

Currently, the ‘Combat Skills’ he had mastered were only the Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique he had learned and the Thrusting Sword Technique that came with this body.

In this world, the basic Cultivation of Combat Skills such as swordsmanship and saber techniques had four stages: Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.

With each stage ascended, one could unleash stronger power.

Undoubtedly, after more than ten years of Cultivation, he, a Grandmaster of the Dao of the sword in his previous world, China, had already Cultivated the Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique to the Perfection realm.

It could cause his strength to surge by one hundred percent in a short period.

However, looking at the data on the System panel now, Ye Cang knew that Perfection was not the limit.

In his memory, besides the basic stages, there was also the ‘Concept’ level after a Combat Skill reached Perfection.

However, this level was still a distant goal for him at present.

Then… looking at the System panel, Ye Cang pondered for a few breaths, and his heart stirred.

One point of Life Energy disappeared, and he directly added it to the “Body” attribute.

According to the System’s prompt, the “Divine Power” attribute was, without surprise, Mental Energy, but the value was too low, and even if added, it probably wouldn’t significantly improve his strength.

As for ‘Combat Skills’ wanting to Breakthrough, considering that 1 point of Life Energy only increased 1 point of experience, it was not cost-effective at the current stage.

So, at this stage, only the “Body” attribute could improve his strength more quickly.

Boom!

A mysterious power appeared within his body, surging in all directions. In an instant, Ye Cang’s body trembled, and he felt his physical strength rapidly increasing.

When the change disappeared, he noticed his strength had increased by about 100 kg.

Besides that, he also felt a significant improvement in his physical defense, speed, and other aspects.

【Ye Cang】

【Divine Power: 1.8】

【Body: 6.5】

【Combat Skills: Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique (Perfection 1 / 100), Thrusting Sword Technique (Elementary 23 / 30)】

【Life Energy: 0】

At this moment, the “Body” attribute on the System’s light blue screen also increased by one point.

“Getting stronger? It’s actually this simple.”

Ye Cang perceived his body in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.

In just a few seconds, his strength increased by about one-fifth, which was equivalent to a year of hard Cultivation for the original Ye Cang in this world.

But soon, Ye Cang calmed down.

A cheat, well, that’s perfectly reasonable!

A moment later, Lin Yan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, looking cautiously at the swirling gray mist ahead.

Red dots flashed on the tablet in his hand, emitting a low vibrating sound.

“Everyone, be careful, Azure Phosphorous Snakes have appeared here!”

Hearing this, the faces of several people in the team immediately changed, and they gripped their weapons tightly.

The next second after Lin Yan’s warning, Ye Cang already heard a “hissing” sound in his ears.

He looked beside him and saw a green snake, about seven feet long and five or six inches thick, crawling towards him from ten meters away.

Azure Phosphorous Snakes, Intermediate Vicious Beasts, were common monsters found everywhere in the Wilderness Area.

When the distance was less than ten meters, this Azure Phosphorous Snake suddenly sprang out, opening its large mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and bit at him.

“Attack!”

Lin Yan lightly shouted, swinging the broadsword in his hand to slash at the charging Azure Phosphorous Snake.

At the same time, Azure Phosphorous Snakes also appeared beside several other people, attacking them.

The battle erupted instantly.

Swish!

Beside him, a strong wind rushed towards Ye Cang, mixed with a disgusting, fishy smell that almost made him vomit.

In the nick of time, the longsword in his hand stabbed straight out.

“Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique!”

Pfft… The sword tip accurately pierced the Azure Phosphorous Snake’s ‘seven-inch’ vital spot, nailing it in mid-air.

Clatter, clatter… The Azure Phosphorous Snake struggled violently, its terrifying strength twisting Ye Cang’s arm, causing it to tremble violently.

“What terrifying power!”

Ye Cang exclaimed in his heart. If he hadn’t added a point to the “Body” attribute earlier, he probably wouldn’t even be able to hold his sword under this force.

After about one breath, the Azure Phosphorous Snake stopped struggling, clearly dead.

Because when Ye Cang made his move, he had accurately pierced its heart.

Perhaps it was the memories infused by the original body, which left him without any discomfort after slaying a Vicious Beast.

At this moment, Ye Cang once again saw a stream of green Qi emerge from the dead Azure Phosphorous Snake and rush into his body.

This time, he was not panicked and quickly looked at the System panel, only to see that the “Life Energy” displayed on it had increased by 0.3.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

Just as he was delighted, another hissing sound came. He saw an Azure Phosphorous Snake ambush him from the side, biting at Ye Cang’s neck.

“Seeking death!”

Seeing the “Life Energy” explode, these monsters in his eyes had changed their appearance.

They were like delicious food.

They were the resources for him to continue getting stronger.

Swish!

The longsword suddenly thrust out, and Ye Cang once again used the Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique, accurately piercing the head of the charging Azure Phosphorous Snake, killing it.

He was adapting to this body.

However, during the battle, Ye Cang found that the Perfection-level Blood Shadow Flow Killing Sword Technique did not provide as strong a power boost to him in this world.

After getting used to it, the current power boost to his body was only about thirty percent.

According to his estimation, even with perfect adaptation to the body, the maximum power boost would only be fifty percent.

A few minutes later, the ground was piled with the corpses of Azure Phosphorous Snakes, with eight in front of Ye Cang.

“All right, clean up the battlefield!”

Beside him, Lin Yan glanced at the tablet in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the other three breathed a sigh of relief and began to process the corpses of these Azure Phosphorous Snakes.

One person used a dagger to cut open the Azure Phosphorous Snake’s body and pulled out a slender, sinewy object from within.

Another person used a dagger to pry out the Azure Phosphorous Snake’s half-foot-long poisonous fangs, carefully placing them in a backpack.

The several people had clear divisions of labor, quickly processing the monster corpses on the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Cang also joined the team extracting fangs and sinews, based on the methods for processing Azure Phosphorous Snakes from his memory.

In less than ten minutes, all the Materials were processed and packed into backpacks, and everyone set off again, heading in the direction of Red Cloud City.
