Chapter 340: Chapter 3 Bloodthirsty Instinct_2

Iron Wall Talisman!

I Want to Be Immortal immediately displayed an invisible light shield around his body, redirecting several arrows that hit it.

Not a drop of blood was lost.

Divine Movement Technique! I Want to Be Immortal instantly rushed to the Bow and Arrow Wolf Soldier and felled it with two chops.

When he went on to chop at the other wild wolves, I Want to Be Immortal switched to ordinary Combat Skills, which really showed the disparity in effectiveness. Although a single chop still caused damage of forty to fifty points, it often took several chops to kill a wild wolf.

"Hey, why are you not using Demon Suppressing Magic anymore?"

I Want to Be Immortal said helplessly, "I’m out of Mana."

He had never invested in his Spirit Attribute, so his Mana bar had a total of only 100 points. Both Demon Suppressing Magic and talismans consumed Mana; his Mana was depleted in just a few moves.

Fortunately, even without Mana, I Want to Be Immortal was still a strong close-range fighter, though not as ferocious as before.

Watching I Want to Be Immortal wield the Furious Sea Tide and slay several wild wolves one by one, Xiao Jie nodded approvingly.

"Not bad at all. Although your skills aren’t as versatile as Daoist Skills, they are simple and brutal and definitely sufficient for bursts of power, especially against enemies like demons and ghosts. Can all skills be enhanced with the Demon Suppressing Magic?"

"Not everything, like the Wolf Run I learned this morning. It can’t be enhanced, and neither can lightweight body techniques or anything like that."

"That’s still pretty good."

The only talent I Want to Be Immortal hadn’t been able to test yet was Thousand Catties of Strength, the effects of which were straightforward and instantly understood – it allowed him to wear heavy Armor and wield heavy weapons with ease.

Its usefulness at present was limited, requiring future acquisition of corresponding Equipment to reveal its full strength.

Seeing I Want to Be Immortal’s combat strength surge after advancing, Xiao Jie grew expectant about his own progress.

Just as he was about to urge everyone to continue Leveling, a hollow feeling suddenly rose in his stomach.

(I’m so hungry, could it be because I skipped breakfast?)

Xiao Jie habitually opened the snack cabinet next to him, intending to grab a small piece of bread to fill his stomach, but his movement suddenly froze.

(Wait, I’ve already acquired the ability to ’Dine on the Wind and Drink Dew,’ so I shouldn’t need to eat anymore. Why am I still hungry?)

He touched his stomach in confusion, but the hunger sensation disappeared as suddenly as it had come, as if it had been just an illusion.

Strange... Xiao Jie carefully evaluated the feeling. All right, it seemed he really wasn’t hungry anymore, perhaps it was indeed a misconception...?

He felt a twinge of unease deep inside because these abilities had come from the game, not from real cultivation. This slight abnormality made him feel a bit unsettled.

(Forget it, I should eat normally from now on. There’s no harm in eating, and it satisfies cravings, too. I shouldn’t be reckless just because I have a Legendary Trait.)

With his mind made up, he casually picked up a small piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Let’s continue Leveling," he said while taking a few bites, then suddenly felt a tasteless sensation.

Ptui, ptui, ptui, is this bread expired? Why does it taste so... awkward?

It was hard to swallow.

Casually tossing the bread into the trash, Xiao Jie thought it was better to focus on Leveling. He’d find something tasty to eat after logging off in the evening. Oh no, now he suddenly craved meat.

The trio continued to Level, hacking away at monsters until evening, but Xiao Jie still fell 40% short of the Experience Points needed to level up.

Looking at the sun setting in the distance, Xiao Jie stopped fighting reluctantly.

"I’m still 40% short. Ye Luo, how about you?"

"30% short."

"Let’s continue tomorrow then, it seems that’s it for today."

Ye Luo nodded, feeling a tinge of regret that the three of them couldn’t level up on the same day, but it was unavoidable. At night, the wilderness became increasingly dangerous, particularly in places like the Moon Howling Forest, where Wolf Demons would gain an attribute boost under moonlight, making the situation tricky.

The trio summoned their Mounts and sped towards the town.

As they traveled, I Want to Be Immortal couldn’t help but feel smug, his Demon-suppressing Spirit Light and Seal Imprint shining more conspicuously in the dim evening twilight, appearing very stylish.

Xiao Jie, however, reminded him, "Remember to buy some elixirs to restore your Mana when we get back; you’re half a Master of Magic now, you have to be responsible."

"Hehe, got it, got it. But let’s talk about that tomorrow. Tonight, I really need to experience this newfound ability in the real world."

"Don’t go overboard, okay? Even though the Game Administration Bureau can clean up the mess, don’t get too carried away."

"Haha, don’t worry, Feng Bro, I get it. It’s a pity I’m not a Taoist; Demon Suppressing Magic is cool, but it’s useless in real life if there are no demons or ghosts for me to fight."

"Don’t you have three talismans?"

"That’s true, but I’m wondering if I need to re-stamp the talismans in reality since their effects might not transfer to the real world. For now, there’s no talisman light effect shining on me."

That was indeed a problem. Strictly speaking, ’talismans’ were I Want to Be Immortal’s abilities, and the talisman power added to him was extra, much like Equipment and BUFFs in the game, which couldn’t affect reality.

So far, it seemed only permanent changes within the game could lead to alterations in the players’ reality.

"No big deal, if it comes down to it, just find a talisman master in reality to draw a few for you."

"That’s also true."

Chatting and laughing, the three of them quickly returned to Luoyang Town.
