Chapter 264

The next treasure chest opening requires Inheritance Degree to reach 15%.

The difference from now is 4%.

If it rises purely through stirring up trouble, it's hard to measure precisely, but if calculated through promotions, the gap to Captain, District Chief, Zone Chief, and Prison Warden is clear at a glance, instantly making one feel the path underfoot has been illuminated.

"So just killing one or two Chang Weis and Tian Taos is far from enough; for a young person to progress quickly, the most effective way still seems to be sending those old folks off to retirement."

Feng Mu doesn't like killing, but society's operating rules are such; it's "metabolism" forcing him onto a path of no return.

Can you blame him?

He just wants to get ahead; what wrong has he done!

Feng Mu shook his head, reining in his scattered train of thought, returning to the reward before him.

"Basic Skill Point +1, Special Skill Point +1; this way, both my Basic Skill Points and Special Skill Points have accumulated to 4 points."

"General Skill Proficiency increased by 10000 points; current Proficiency has reached 13730 points."

Feng Mu silently calculated in his heart:

"Lately I've been in prison, with almost no time to cultivate martial arts, so my martial arts level hasn't improved much.

Therefore, I can invest Skill Proficiency into 【Turtle Skin Shell-Swap Technique】; based on whether this martial art can reach Perfection Realm, I'll then decide whether to use Basic Skill Points to attempt Limit Break."

"Then, there's..."

Feng Mu opened his panel, line of sight moving downward continuously, moving to the Secret Art column.

Marry-Dead Twin Birth lv1 '0/5', Tongue Root Death Curse lv1 '0/2', Agent's Gift lv1 '0/3', Blood Bar Ghost Eye lv1 '0/3'.

"【Agent's Gift】 and 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】 both already meet upgrade conditions; 【Marry-Dead Twin Birth】 is also just one step away." Feng Mu's brows furrowed slightly, showing some hesitation.

Originally he planned to accumulate all Special Skill Points to prioritize raising 【Marry-Dead Twin Birth】's level, but after experiencing the electric baton swap and food poisoning, he felt 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】 was also quite useful.

"If it can reveal more key information through blood bars, that seems like a pretty good choice too."

Feng Mu's heart stirred, but deep in his heart, what he most desired to improve was still...

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, line of sight quietly shifting upward to the Eat Iron column; two add-point virtual frames appeared.

Pig Iron (Green) '0/2'

Yin-Sha Nine Nether Calamity Resentment Iron (Red) '0/9'

"9 points, truly unaffordable." Feng Mu's inner fantasy shattered completely.

9 Special Skill Points, honestly better to just Eat Iron properly; once 【Octagonal Cage Beast Arena】 is implemented, eat your fill directly.

Feng Mu walked alone slowly on the midnight street; the Butt Lamp on his head had already extinguished; few vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

He walked indifferently; in his pitch-black pupils, a wisp of blood-red Red Thread flickered in the pupil, as if a Qiyi little snake was raised in his eye.

Then, at a certain instant, that little snake abruptly split and copied, becoming two little snakes.

Two little snakes wound and twisted, silently rotating around the pupil, spinning faster and faster, faintly turning into two crimson Magatama.

【Blood Bar Ghost Eye upgraded!】

【Blood Bar Ghost Eye lv2】: Activate this Secret Art, you can see opponent's Blood Bar; cost is that during the Secret Art, both your and opponent's bodies will be Datafied, Immune to All Fatal Attacks; death only when Blood Bar clears to zero.

Ps: In this state, if you attack and fail to break opponent's defense, you will also forcibly strip a wisp of Life Force (1 Drop Blood Amount) from opponent.

The above, seemingly no change; just as Feng Mu was slightly annoyed and disappointed, a line of new illusory characters appeared, slowly Condensing:

When you Peek at opponent's heart, you can randomly Peek at one of opponent's abilities, and choose whether to Copy it; the Copied ability's highest level cannot exceed your current Power Tier.

Ps:

1, A person can only be Peeked at once in a lifetime.

2, Copy can only be used once per day.

3, Heart cannot stop beating for more than 1 hour.

Feng Mu's mouth opened slightly, eyes revealing incredulous brilliance; thousands of words in his heart ultimately converged into a single term — "Sharingan?!!"

Though not completely identical, it has a bit of that flavor.

Feng Mu involuntarily stopped, fingers swiftly taking out his mobile phone, opening selfie mode.

On the mobile phone screen, the two endlessly rotating crimson Magatama reflected in left and right pupils made his heartbeat accelerate; a strange sense of familiarity grew increasingly distinct.

And deep in Feng Mu's heart bottom, a strong premonition arose spontaneously:

"Blood Bar Ghost Eye lv2 corresponds to two Magatama; then would lv3 correspond to three Magatama, and at lv4, wouldn't it correspond to Mangekyou Sharingan?"

And as everyone knows, Mangekyou is the true Sharingan; not that previous Sharingan wasn't strong, but Mangekyou is too imba, directly pulling open an insurmountable chasm.

Thus, through a series of associations, Feng Mu derived a constructive hypothesis:

"So, if Blood Bar Ghost Eye can upgrade to lv4 Phase, this pair of eyes will probably undergo unimaginable Evolution!"

Feng Mu's pupils revealed scorching light; two Magatama grew increasingly crimson and bewitching under his emotional Stimulation, making his whole face appear with several more points of terrifying demonic charm.

"No, might just be me overthinking; Sharingan is Sharingan, Blood Bar Ghost Eye is Blood Bar Ghost Eye, cannot be lumped together."

Feng Mu shook his head vigorously, stopping the wild thoughts in his heart, because he feared if he continued imagining deeper, he wouldn't control his own legs and would walk toward home.

"Thinking like this, I haven't gone back to see Parents in a long time; it's a bit Disobedient." Feng Mu suddenly missed this body's original Parents.

After all, the system only prompted that 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】 upgrade requires accumulating Special Skill Points, but never prevented him from exploring other upgrade paths.

In the past, Feng Mu was at a loss regarding this, without a clue; but now, a wicked thought of taking a shortcut quietly sprouted in his heart.

"Looked at this way, not being an orphan after transmigrating also has hidden benefits; at least life always has one more retreat path left by Parents!" Feng Mu realized clearly.

But, relying on his heart's kindness, Feng Mu still forcibly strangled the sin sprouting in his pupils; where is he such a heartless and deranged person.

He realized he might have already begun to suffer 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】's subtle influence; just as Sharingan constantly magnifies people's inner dark side, 【Blood Bar Ghost Eye】 seems unable to escape this side effect either.

Fortunately, Feng Mu himself has very high Resistance to evil; not because his heart faces light, purely because... his threshold for resisting evil has already been hammered very high.

Feng Mu looked at the mobile phone screen, at the one, two, three, four Blood Bars floating above his own head, and muttered with Unchanged Expression:

"Stop hiding, come out and greet your seniors."

As his words fell, a fifth Blood Bar twistedly revealed its Outline.

【20/20】
