I Have 10 Equipment Slots-Chapter 130 - 101: Add Points! Add Points

Super Body: Celestial Ladder!

His realm had advanced another small stage.

The tangible effect of the "Celestial Ladder" was that Gu Zheng no longer needed to use the Triple Jump Demon Techniques. He could ascend into the air step by step using only his physical body.

This was because, after the breakthrough, his body’s Life Energy Field supported him, counteracting the pull of gravity.

However, it only allowed for ascent, not free flight like a bird.

The "White Crane Soaring Technique" was still important, and he still needed the Triple Jump Demon Techniques to travel quickly.

He still had over five thousand Demon Points.

Gu Zheng took a moment to adapt to his body’s post-breakthrough state, then continued to allocate points!

Strength, Constitution, Spirit, and agility were all raised to 285.

BOOM~!

The violent energy stimulated his body, and the resulting transformation caused a tingling, aching pain to spread through Gu Zheng.

TSSSSS~

Wisps of mist swirled around his body, forming vortices that radiated waves of heat as they slowly rose.

Fortunately, Gu Zheng had removed his armor and under-linens before allocating his points. He now stood naked, enduring the remodeling that came with growing stronger.

His physique hadn’t grown taller, but his body of steel and Iron Bone was now comparable to a Spiritual Soldier. He feared neither water nor fire, and blades or spears would find it even harder to pierce his skin.

His muscles hadn’t bulked up either; they had simply become denser, streamlined as if forged together from the finest Profound Iron.

"HUUUU—"

As he exhaled, an arrow of air shot directly from his mouth, flying dozens of meters to destroy trees and pierce through stone slabs.

HUUU~

INHALE!

HAAA~

INHALE!

THUMP THUMP THUMP~

With each breath, listening to his powerful heartbeat, Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, regulated his breathing, and calmed his mind.

He glanced at his panel. He had 396 Demon Points left.

This round of upgrades had consumed a whopping 5,440 Demon Points.

After his Strength attribute reached 200, every point of increase required 16 Demon Points!

The cost had doubled again...

’I still need to keep slaying Demon Fiends.’

Gu Zheng steadied his mind and spent Demon Points to raise his "Hundred Beasts King Fist" to the Perfection Realm, but he didn’t gain any Fist Intent.

An Upper Grade True Skill could allow one to comprehend a Mental Realm. The level of the True Skill was one factor, but comprehension was another.

It wasn’t guaranteed that one would master Realm Power just by cultivating an Upper Grade True Skill to the Perfection Realm.

Whether one could comprehend it was the key.

He had gained Sword Intent when his "Nine Luminaries Golden Saber" reached Perfection because he had always studied Saber Techniques. He had his own understanding of the Sword Dao and had long since built a solid foundation.

That was why he had gained Sword Intent immediately after allocating points to the "Nine Luminaries Golden Saber."

He lacked this foundation for the "Hundred Beasts King Fist," but the conditions to comprehend Fist Intent were there. It all depended on how deeply he grasped it later on.

Looking at his remaining Demon Points, Gu Zheng once again allocated them to the "Bibo Smoke Mist Technique," using Deduction to raise this self-created True Skill from the Great Success Realm to Perfection.

In an instant, Gu Zheng gained a complete and thorough understanding of every concept, path, and future possibility for the "Bibo Smoke Mist Technique."

The next steps to take flooded his mind.

However, creating another True Skill on the foundation of the "Bibo Smoke Mist Technique" would require new theoretical knowledge, which would take a great deal of time.

Gu Zheng didn’t have the time right now, so he set the idea aside.

...

...

He regrouped with Zhang Ning and An Xiaoxue, wiped out the Badao Sect, and slaughtered the vast majority of its disciples.

Then, without stopping, Gu Zheng led the two of them to Xiongying County and annihilated the Pure Yang Sword Sect.

Five evil Martial World sects that had plagued the local area were thus eradicated.

As for the remaining Demon Fiends scattered throughout the land, Gu Zheng had Zhang Ning, An Xiaoxue, and Tao Liu each lead one hundred Warriors to hunt them down and exterminate them within Wulong Mansion’s territory.

Gu Zheng did the same, leaping and soaring through the sky, searching for Demon Fiends.

He eliminated the Demon Fiends that had fled into the deep mountains—those transformed from humans—one after another, burning their corpses to ash.

After Gu Zheng slew yet another Demon Fiend and scanned it with his Eyes of Golden Flame, he confirmed it was a true Demon Fiend. The disaster caused by the Demon Creation Gourd had finally come to an end.

TSS~

SPLAT!

With a flash of his saber, a Demon Fiend—pitch black all over, shaped like a meatball, and covered in a dozen or so tentacles—was sliced into four pieces by the Celestial Frost Blade.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +6]

’A new kind of Demon Fiend?’

Gu Zheng’s sharp brows twitched. He brandished his Celestial Frost Blade and, with a flash, followed the Demon Qi into a ravine shrouded in miasma.

WHOOSH~

A mist carrying an irritating odor rushed toward him. Gu Zheng’s Divine Wondrous power surged, forming a Protective Blade Gang around his body.

TSSZZZLA!

The miasma and the Protective Blade Gang made contact, neutralizing each other.

Overall, the miasma was consumed more quickly. Gu Zheng forcibly carved a path and ventured deeper into the ravine.

After entering, he discovered that the surrounding miasma possessed an unusual power that could block spiritual perception. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Anyone else would have been rendered blind and forced to retreat.

But not Gu Zheng. He activated his Eyes of Golden Flame.

SWOOSH!

The gray, hazy mist immediately became clear in his vision. Everything within a hundred-meter radius was laid bare before his eyes.

And then he saw them: half-human-sized Meatball Demon Fiends with tentacles, hanging upside down like spiders from the ravine’s cliffs on both sides. They were motionless, all their tentacles retracted.

From a distance, they looked like honeycombs.

SHING!

Gu Zheng swung his blade directly, sending out a thread-like slash that swept across all the Meatball Demon Fiends on the left side.

"SQUISH SQUISH SQUISH~!"

Accompanied by a series of strange sounds, all the hanging Meatball Demon Fiends with tentacles on the left were sliced in half.

SHING!

Another flash of the blade, and a Sword Gang line shot out, sweeping across the right cliff face.

The hanging Meatball Demon Fiends with tentacles on the right were also all cut in two.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +5]

[Demon Points +4]

[Demon Points +6]

...

What a haul!

Holding his Celestial Frost Blade, Gu Zheng kept his Eyes of Golden Flame active and continued deeper into the ravine.

He went all the way to the bottom and saw the entrance to a deep, dark cavern.

Standing at the entrance, he could sense wave after wave of dense Demon Qi, accompanied by a dizzying, acrid smell, rushing straight at him.
