Chapter 48

On the way, Gu Hanyuan took the opportunity to look at the system's notifications.

Unwavering for this life, SS-rank rating, 5,000 villain points.

The current Zhong Ling series rating is SSS-rank, totaling 20,100 villain points, available for collection.

The Zhong Ling series has concluded; please collect the rewards as soon as possible.

Tsk, this means I won't be able to get any more villain points even if I do something to Zhong Ling later.

Gu Hanyuan was slightly disappointed, but the gains were already enough.

However, what he didn't expect was that he had completed the series rating before even going all the way.

If one were to describe it with favorability, it should be that it went from 99 to 100.

After collecting the rewards for the Zhong Ling series, the villain points reached as many as 46,370.

A true wave of sudden wealth.

There was also an SSS-rank rating reward. He could have one chance to draw a Myriad Worlds reward.

Who knows, maybe he'll become an immortal after using it?

After Gu Hanyuan used the lottery chance, he saw a turntable appear on the system interface, with all kinds of things placed on it, but they were all blurry.

Since he couldn't see exactly what was there, he didn't dwell on it and started the draw.

When the turntable stopped, what appeared was a sword-shaped item.

Seeing it was a weapon, Gu Hanyuan was slightly disappointed; compared to cultivation techniques or various divine objects, the growth potential of weapons was generally limited.

However, it was just right to replace his standard long sword, which truly lacked status.

It was just that he didn't know which identity this sword was suitable for.

And it wasn't that there were no good things among swords.

What if a Heaven-Punishing Sword or Xuanyuan Sword really appeared?

But if it really appeared, Gu Hanyuan estimated he wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

After Gu Hanyuan took the sword out of the turntable, it automatically entered his storage space, and at this moment, the sword's appearance was finally revealed.

A purple sword with ancient characters carved on the purple blade, nearly five feet in total length, with a blade length of four feet eight inches.

It was a two-handed greatsword.

Gu Hanyuan looked at this greatsword, somewhat confused, not knowing whether to consider his luck good or bad.

Because this was the Demon Sword from "Chinese Paladin 3."

The sword was definitely a good sword, but could he use it?

Not to mention that only Jingtian could use the Demon Sword, the fact that it would absorb the sword master's life force was quite troublesome.

And was Long Kui inside?

Gu Hanyuan didn't continue guessing blindly and looked at the information description attached to the system.

The Demon Sword has two layers of seals, can be used directly, is extremely hard, and its size can be adjusted. It can convert the hatred and resentment of the killed into its own spiritual power. Spiritual power can be temporarily stored in the sword body and taken out when needed. During use, it will continuously absorb spiritual power or internal energy; if spiritual power or internal energy is insufficient, it will absorb life force. Internal energy at the early Grandmaster stage can be used safely for 10 minutes.

After unlocking the first layer of the seal, it weighs a hundred pounds, can be bound to a master, can be strengthened, and can automatically protect the master. The Demon Sword will surge with baleful energy, which can be used for attacks, but it will also affect the sword user; it should not be used recklessly by anyone below the Earth Immortal level. Unlocking the seal requires 50,000 villain points.

Unlocking the second layer of the seal will liberate the sword spirit, with unpredictable results. Unlocking the seal requires 100,000 villain points.

Gu Hanyuan was somewhat dumbfounded. He had just said he was suddenly wealthy, and the slap in the face came too quickly.

And there was a sword spirit after unlocking the second layer of the seal; could it really be Long Kui?

If she discovered she had been bound to him, would he be hacked?

And the usage time was only 10 minutes, which was truly too short.

Was he only able to offer the Demon Sword up?

Gu Hanyuan thought about it and decided to raise his cultivation realm; anyway, Zhong Ling had given him a large amount of villain points.

He spent 10,800 villain points in one breath to raise his cultivation to the peak Grandmaster stage.

Zhong Ling, who was being held by Gu Hanyuan, only felt the speed of their journey suddenly increase sharply, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After a while, Gu Hanyuan adapted to the surging power and controlled the speed well again.

Looking at the Demon Sword's information again, his internal energy at the peak Grandmaster stage could be used safely for one hour.

He also adjusted the size of the Demon Sword, shrinking it from a two-handed greatsword to a one-handed sword, with the blade becoming only three feet three inches, which made it easier to use.

However, after having a good sword, he still needed swordsmanship.

After looking around, Gu Hanyuan locked his target directly onto the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" and the "Unaccountable Swordsmanship."

Both of these swordsmanship styles belonged to the high-martial level, especially the "Sword Twenty-Three" of the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship," which was almost no different from immortal arts.

Both the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" and the "Unaccountable Swordsmanship" were divided into two types.

One type of "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" only went up to "Sword Twenty-Two," costing 12,000, and the other had "Sword Twenty-Three," costing 30,000.

One type of "Unaccountable Swordsmanship" only had the first eight styles, costing 18,000, and one went up to the tenth style, costing 26,000.

After considering for a while, Gu Hanyuan decided to exchange for the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" that had "Sword Twenty-Three."

"Sword Twenty-Three" was divided into "Extinguishing Heaven and Desolate Earth Sword Twenty-Three," "Sentient Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three," and "Six Extinctions and No-Self Sword Twenty-Three."

And the biggest flaw of "Extinguishing Heaven and Desolate Earth Sword Twenty-Three" was the primordial spirit attack, with no protection for the physical body, but he had a clone as insurance, so it wasn't that dangerous.

As for the other two, he could forcibly learn them with villain points, but the price was too expensive.

After Gu Hanyuan exchanged for the "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship," he soon entered the door.

As a result, he discovered that many sword moves couldn't be used at all.

It was just like the brain saying "I understand," but the hand saying "You don't understand."

Clearly, it was because his realm wasn't high enough.

Especially "Sword Twenty-Three," which required at least reaching the Great Success level to be used.

However, the remaining villain points were already insufficient; after spending 1,800 villain points to raise "Sword Twenty-Three" to the proficient level, only 3,770 were left, not even enough for the 4,000 needed to raise it to the minor success level.

However, fortunately, the proficient-level "Holy Spirit Swordsmanship" could already be used up to "Sword Eighteen."

For Gu Hanyuan, that was already enough.

Gu Hanyuan didn't expect that after tossing and turning for a long time, the gap in villain points was still so large.

Wasn't this forcing him to cause trouble?

Fortunately, there should be many opportunities to cause trouble next, and it shouldn't be difficult to fill the gap.

The two moved extremely fast, and when they were about to reach the Wanjie Valley, they saw a black horse lying on the ground with an injured leg, unable to move.

"Ah, that's Black Rose."

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were good sisters, so naturally, she recognized her mount.

As soon as Gu Hanyuan heard it, he knew that the direction shouldn't be wrong.

Walking closer to look, he discovered that Black Rose was severely injured; not only were its four limbs broken, but there were also many scars on its body, and it should have also suffered internal injuries.

To not be dead after all this, it truly had a great life.

As soon as Zhong Ling saw Black Rose injured like this, she was both worried about Mu Wanqing's safety and sad that Black Rose probably wouldn't live much longer.

"Brother Gu, can you save Black Rose? It's so pitiful."

Seeing Zhong Ling's pleading expression, Gu Hanyuan didn't refuse.

"Leave it to me."

Gu Hanyuan decided to guest-star as a veterinarian.
