Chapter 9

Shen Tianxing did not rush to upgrade immediately, but while killing enemies he checked the introduction of God-Slaying Triple Blade and the attribute increase for each level.

"High-grade blade God-Slaying Triple Blade is divided into seven levels; each level increase adds 20% base damage against enemies; after the blade technique reaches Small Success, its attached skill can be activated, God-Slaying Triple Slash!"

God-Slaying Triple Slash, by continuously performing God-Slaying Triple Blade, the effect stacks, doubling the original 20% base damage increase per strike, reaching 120% enemy damage.

After reading the introduction, Shen Tianxing laughed and immediately issued a command to the system.

"System, spend 5000 Killing Points to upgrade God-Slaying Triple Blade to Small Success."

"Congratulations Host, you have successfully upgraded God-Slaying Triple Blade to Small Success, activating its attached skill God-Slaying Triple Slash!"

With the further upgrade of God-Slaying Triple Blade, Shen Tianxing's Killing Points dropped to 4900, but his strength increased roughly double.

Moreover, God-Slaying Triple Blade is a single-target blade technique; with Buffs maxed, facing a Fifth-Rank expert head-on, Shen Tianxing has a move that could kill them, of course only just reaching Fifth-Rank.

"System, remove the Second-Grade Red Gem from the Dragon-Slaying Saber and embed a Fourth-Grade Red Gem."

Shen Tianxing issued another command; a Fourth-Grade Red Gem can add 400 Martial Power points, and he felt that if the system continued this rapid upgrade, he might become invincible under heaven in just a few months.

"Host, removing the Second-Grade Red Gem costs 200 Killing Points; proceed?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianxing thought the system was really ruthless, but 200 Killing Points was nothing now.

"Yes, remove it."

"Congratulations Host, you removed the Second-Grade Red Gem, consuming 200 Killing Points; the Dragon-Slaying Saber's Martial Power decreased by 100 points, successfully embedded the Fourth-Grade Red Gem, increasing the Dragon-Slaying Saber's Martial Power by 400 points."

At this moment Shen Tianxing's Martial Power directly equaled the strength of fourth-rank fifth-tier; even without stacking Buffs he could go head-to-head with a Ten-Thousand General.

"You're excellent; you actually killed two Qianfuzhangs; this Qianfuzhang Token is yours; from now on you are a Qianfuzhang of my Da Zhou Army; after breaking out of the encirclement, this general will assign you a military post."

Yang Hongyue found a moment to say these two lines, then threw a Qianfuzhang Token at Shen Tianxing; he leapt up, caught the token, and as he landed he slashed with a blade, killing several Great Martial Soldiers.

"Congratulations Host for completing the Side Quest, Yang Hongyue's favor; reward 5000 Killing Points, Official Rank promoted to Qianfuzhang, one Intermediate Lottery, high-grade spear technique Wandering Dragon Nine Spears, five hundred taels of silver."

After completing the Side Quest, Killing Points rose again to 970; although he hasn't practiced spear techniques, any spear skill boosted with Killing Points is never a burden.

The only pity is that his Martial Dao Realm is only Third-Rank Fifth-Layer; he's just one layer away from completing the initial Main Quest, but for Shen Tianxing this isn't difficult.

Killing Points can be used to raise the Martial Dao Realm; First-Rank First-Layer needs 10 Killing Points, First-Rank Second-Layer needs 20, Third-Layer needs 30.

Raising from First-Rank First-Layer to First-Rank Tenth-Layer requires 550 Killing Points; starting from Second-Rank, each layer needs 100 Killing Points, adding on like First-Rank, totaling 5500 Killing Points.

After that, spending 1000 Killing Points upgrades to Third-Rank First-Layer; second layer needs 2000, third 3000, and so on; reaching Sixth Layer needs 6000 Killing Points, exactly what Shen Tianxing has!

"System, use 6000 Killing Points to raise the Martial Dao Realm to Third-Rank Sixth-Layer."

"Congratulations Host, using 6000 Killing Points successfully raised the Martial Dao Realm to Third-Rank Sixth-Layer."

"Congratulations Host for completing the First Stage Main Quest; reward: Supreme Body Technique Wind Thunder Nine Turns, divine weapon Initial Dragon-Slaying Saber upgraded to Intermediate Dragon-Slaying Saber, healing treasure pill Small Return Pill one bottle of ten, special skill Three Seconds Invincible, fifty taels of gold."

"Congratulations Host, your Initial Dragon-Slaying Saber upgraded to Intermediate Dragon-Slaying Saber, activating the second attached skill Dragon's Roar."

Intermediate Dragon-Slaying Saber, Martial Power +1000; main skill Broken Blade, ignores weapon level to cut it, trigger probability 20% (raising weapon level can raise probability).

Attached skill Armor Break, ignores any defense, 100% armor break, trigger probability 5%.

Attached skill Dragon's Roar, emitting a dragon's roar in battle, covering a radius of 5 meters, 100% dazing martial artists not higher than three major realms above oneself for three seconds, trigger probability 10%. Can be equipped.

The completion of the Main Quest made Shen Tianxing unusually excited, especially when hearing the Dragon's Roar second attached skill of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, he almost laughed out loud.

He is now Third-Rank Sixth-Layer; meaning any martial artist within Sixth-Rank Sixth-Layer or lower who engages him, once this dizziness triggers, three seconds is enough to separate his head from his body.

"Given that Host has completed the First Stage Main Quest, the system will begin its first upgrade; upgrade duration is five days; during the upgrade no tasks will be issued; completed tasks can be submitted to obtain corresponding rewards.

"All other functions except the lottery will be suspended; after the upgrade completes, the system can switch to Intelligent Real Person Mode to better serve the Host, while releasing the Second Stage Main Quest."

The system upgrade came too fast, like a tornado, catching Shen Tianxing off guard, but it's only five days, which is still acceptable; moreover he still has a Master Experience Card, so safety-wise he need not worry.

"System, before the upgrade, let me learn Wind Thunder Nine Turns."

Fortunately Shen Tianxing thought of this quickly in his mind, and the system prompt sounded accordingly.

"Congratulations Host for comprehending the Supreme Body Technique Wind Thunder Nine Turns; spend 1000 Killing Points to upgrade to Skilled?"

"Using 1000 Killing Points, upgrade Wind Thunder Nine Turns to Skilled."

"Congratulations Host, using 1000 Killing Points successfully upgraded Wind Thunder Nine Turns to Skilled."

"System upgrade officially begins; please Host do not disturb."

The system's final prompt tone left Shen Tianxing both laughing and crying, after which he proceeded to examine the special skill Three Seconds Invincible.

"Special skill, Three Seconds Invincible; when activated it places the Host in a three-second Absolute Invincible Domain, immune to all damage, while unable to attack anyone; skill cooldown is a quarter hour, i. e., fifteen minutes."

Although there is a flaw that one cannot attack anyone, this Three Seconds Invincible is truly invincible, its cooldown not long, already enough to be heaven-defying.

After checking the rewards and learning the new moves, Shen Tianxing unleashed several blades to repel the surrounding enemies, then said to Yang Hongyue ahead who was already in a bitter fight:

"Thank you, General Yang; I will now carve a bloody path for you."

Shen Tianxing is not just talking; at this moment he has already eaten Wangwang Snow Cake, drunk Snow Sprite, lit a cigarette, restoring stamina while stacking double Buff; to be safe he also took a sip of Keji, instantly raising his defense by 100%.
