I Have 10 Equipment Slots-Chapter 112 - 97: I Must Have Gu Zheng

First, Gu Zheng raised his four attributes—Strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit—all to 109.

This wave of upgrades alone consumed 256 Demon Points.

After breaking through to the Super Body realm, every point added to an attribute cost 8 Demon Points.

Second, he upgraded the realm of his *Nine Luminaries Golden Saber*.

It was already at Minor Achievement. Upgrading it from Minor Achievement to Great Success cost 42 points.

And from Great Success to Perfection, it cost another 60 points.

BOOM~

The moment the *Nine Luminaries Golden Saber* reached Perfection, the airflow around Gu Zheng was suddenly constrained, forcibly gathered, and formed into transparent sheets of Sword Gang that swirled around him.

An incomparably sharp aura materialized from thin air, cutting into the ground and leaving behind a series of gouges.

Gu Zheng stood motionless with his eyes closed, his consciousness sinking into a profound and mysterious sensation.

It began with his body, cycling from the inside out and the outside in, then reached his Spirit, connected to his brain, and touched the ethereal yet truly existing Divine Soul.

On that spiritual plane, a speck of golden light constantly shifted, taking the form of a Sword Artifact, fading away and reappearing in an endless cycle.

SWISH!

He snapped his eyes open, and a flash of golden light shot out.

"PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!"

A series of strange sounds followed as his gaze solidified, taking the form of a blade. It sliced through tree after tree until it plunged into the mountainside, boring a deep hole before vanishing.

"Hiss!"

Gu Zheng sucked in a cold breath, clutching his forehead as he endured the stabbing pain originating from his soul.

’A gaze like a blade is satisfying, and its lethality is certainly sufficient. It can slice not only physical objects but also a person’s Spirit and Spirit Body.’

’But the toll on my Brain Power and Spiritual Power is immense.’

’That’s because the *Nine Luminaries Golden Saber* isn’t a True Skill meant for spiritual attacks.’

’What I just did was purely driven by my Sword Intent, released by consuming my Spirit and Heart Power.’

’I can only force it out two or three times at most.’

’Any more than that, and I’ll die from mental exhaustion and a depleted Spirit.’

To release Sword Intent, it’s best to have a blade in hand, though even using a hand as a blade will work.

The *Nine Luminaries Golden Saber* is the advanced True Skill of the *Frenzy Battle Saber Technique*. The Sword Intent born from its Perfection is one of fearlessness, regretlessness, and forging ever forward!

"Haaaah..."

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and emptied his thoughts.

After a good while, the stinging pain faded. He rested for another moment before continuing to allocate points, upgrading the *All Heaven Jade Void Skill Super Body Chapter*.

With the foundation laid by the *Alien Body Chapter*, the process was smoother.

From entry-level to Mastery, he spent 16 Demon Points.

From Mastery to Minor Achievement, 27 Demon Points.

From Minor Achievement to Great Success, 38 Demon Points.

From Great Success to Perfection, 69 Demon Points.

This wave of upgrades cost 150 points. The *All Heaven Jade Void Skill Super Body Chapter* reached Perfection, and along with it, his Divine Wondrous increased by 9, Constitution by 6, and Strength by 2.

This was equivalent to saving 64 Demon Points.

He checked and saw he still had some left.

Gu Zheng rested for a moment, then continued upgrading the *Hundred Beasts King Fist*.

From entry-level to Mastery, it cost 18 Demon Points.

From Mastery to Minor Achievement, 33 Demon Points.

From Minor Achievement to Great Success, 65 Demon Points.

He didn’t have enough Demon Points to make the final push to Perfection.

Of the 636 Demon Points he had just obtained, only 12 remained after his spending spree.

Gu Zheng used these 12 points for the Deduction and upgrade of his *Bibo Smoke Mist Technique*.

That’s right. By spending Demon Points, he could perform Deduction on this self-created True Skill, simultaneously improving his control over it and perfecting its pathways.

All 12 Demon Points were spent, and the *Bibo Smoke Mist Technique* was deduced and upgraded to Great Success!

WHOOSH~

He took out the Thousand-Eyed Flame Flood Dragon’s Eye and mentally commanded, ’Equip.’

SWISH!

...

...

His strength had increased once more, and his Demon Points were completely depleted.

’Time to take on a mission.’

However, his Celestial Frost Blade had not yet finished its upgrade to a Middle-Grade weapon.

Gu Zheng waited another seven days, going to the Weapon Foundry each day to drip his Essence Blood and nourish the blade’s body.

Finally, after absorbing the two special ore chunks he had taken from the Double-Faced Hero Demon Fiend’s cave, the Celestial Frost Blade completed its advancement.

It had reached the level of a Middle-Grade Spiritual Soldier, but it possessed greater lethality and Anomalous Power than others of its rank.

The unique ores brought by the Double-Faced Hero Demon Fiend from the Demon Realm had actually allowed the Celestial Frost Blade’s original Cold Iron power to be fully unleashed, amplifying it several times over.

As a result, the Celestial Frost Blade could now emit wisps of Frosty Cold Qi on its own, without needing to be infused with Divine Wondrous. It had truly lived up to its name!

...

The very day he held the treasured blade in his hands, Gu Zheng accepted a new mission.

After being promoted to Hundred Households, most other Demon Suppression Guards would go to garrison the various passageways.

Gu Zheng needed more Demon Points, and passively waiting for opportunities was not his style.

For that reason, the mission he accepted was once again for Demon Extermination.

The new mission required him to travel to Wulong Mansion, in the easternmost part of Fengzhou.

According to intelligence reports, because Wulong Mansion was adjacent to the Yingchou Mountain Range, tens of thousands of low-level Demon Fiends were running rampant in the various counties within its domain.

These Demon Fiends had all come out of the Yingchou Mountain Range.

The Yingchou Mountain Range served as the border between Fengzhou and Luozhou, stretching over a thousand li from north to south.

The mountains were high and the forests dense, with few human tracks. Its depths were filled with miasma, and poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts were innumerable.

It was a forbidden land even before the Celestial Change.

After the Celestial Change, it became even more dangerous.

Since the mission was to encircle and annihilate low-level Demon Fiends, Gu Zheng mobilized three hundred Warriors for the task.
