Chapter 554: Chapter 99 Sword Demon — The Dragon Slaying Strategy_2

"As you complete the tempering of the Blood Sword, I will naturally impart to you the true Supreme Sword Skill."

System prompt: Triggered the adventure quest [Sword Demon’s Trial].

Quest description: In the underwater prison of Hero Manor, you encountered a Mysterious Elder who has been imprisoned. The elder requires you to complete a killing trial, allowing your sword to be sated with fresh blood, and promises to teach you the Supreme Sword Skill upon completion.

Quest objective: Accumulate 10 points of Slaughter value.

Quest reward: ????

points of Slaughter value... Does this mean I have to kill ten players?

Even with his extensive experience, Jiu Jianxian was frightened by this task.

Leaving the pool and returning to the surface, he saw that no one around him had noticed his deeds, so he quickly snuck away.

Back at his resting place, Jiu Jianxian’s mind was in turmoil. The act of killing in the game, something he had never done before, knowing the consequences of death in the game.

Not to mention killing ten people...

But this is the Supreme Sword Skill! If I could learn it, I could ascend to the ranks of top experts and become a truly prominent figure.

Should I seek advice from Hidden Moon Following Wind?

The kneeling move was his idea, and though it was by accident, at least it triggered the Supreme Sword Skill storyline. Maybe he really has a solution.

But it’s too late today, probably already logged off, I’ll go find him tomorrow.

————————

In fact, contrary to Jiu Jianxian’s guess, Xiao Jie had not logged off at this moment. He was sitting in a room at the inn, checking his stockpile of inner cores.

Although he had advanced to Demon Refiner and theoretically possessed the ceiling of a Fourth-tier Magic System, it was only theoretical.

Without replenishing his Magic Pool, he was still a physical Profession.

These Demon Arts come at a high price, especially the truly powerful ones.

Even though he could obtain Demon Arts by refining inner cores, the cores themselves were quite valuable.

Xiao Jie looked at the pile of junk cores in his bag, Deteriorated Wolf Demon Core, Deteriorated Snake Demon Core, Deteriorated Python Demon Core, Deteriorated Bull Demon Core...

Damn it, they are all deteriorated.

All from Elite Monsters bursting out.

He had already consumed several hundred points of Spiritual Energy in the past few days, which he needed to replenish, so let’s see what he could get from these cores.

Thinking this, Xiao Jie directly right-clicked to start refining.

With the Demon Refining Technique, Xiao Jie could now directly consume inner cores, using his own Dantian to refine the Spiritual Energy, Demon Power, and even the essence within.

System prompt: Successfully refined the Deteriorated Wolf Demon Core, you gained 97 points of Spiritual Energy Value.

System prompt: You gained 475 Experience Points.

System prompt: You have comprehended 0 Demon Art Skills.

System prompt: You acquired 3 points of Wolf Demon Essence, you have started an Essence Accumulation Progress [Grey Wolf Transformation], current progress 3%.

Not a single Demon Art comprehended... Again.

Another Deteriorated Snake Demon Core swallowed down.

System prompt: You gained 104 points of Spiritual Energy Value.

System prompt: You gained 502 Experience Points.

System prompt: You have comprehended 0 Demon Art Skills.

System prompt: You acquired 4 points of Snake Demon Essence, you have started an Essence Accumulation Progress [Giant Snake Transformation], current progress 4%.

Xiao Jie studied this Essence system in detail.

Once Essence accumulates to 100%, he would acquire a demon beast transformation ability, with similar types of demon beast essence able to merge and add to the progress.

For example, wolves, dogs, jackals, and dholes can be categorized together.

Carp, catfish, loach, and silver carp can be categorized together.

Tigers, leopards, lions, and bears can be categorized together.

Venomous snakes, pythons can be categorized together.

Of course, if combined, the resulting demon beast transformation will simultaneously possess the characteristics and appearance of the combined Demon Race.

If all absorbed are White Wolf, then it would be a White Wolf Transformation, if Black Wolf, then a Black Wolf Transformation. If it’s a mix of different colored wolves, then...

Xiao Jie imagined the image of a flecked wolf and thought that if possible, it’s better to keep things pure.

Getting a complete essence has another benefit: employing the innate technique of a Demon Race corresponding to the essence can get an extra boost in strength.

Each Essence Accumulation Progress can contain all essences of the same type of Demon Race, which is somewhat good news. Otherwise, collecting essences would be troublesome.

Of course, they could also not be merged, with each type separately collected, but that would make the accumulation more laborious.

In order to acquire the beast transformation ability as soon as possible, Xiao Jie plans to merge and accumulate.

Even with the ability to merge, Xiao Jie still had a headache. He absorbed seven junk cores in one go, his Experience Points increased by a few thousand, but not a single Demon Art was comprehended; instead, five Essence Accumulation Progress were started, all under 10%.

Due to the low quality of the cores, they only provided single-digit essence, to accumulate 100% will take a while.

It seems that he must absorb Great Demon Cores to refine Demon Arts and accumulate essence quickly.

Well then, let’s do this.

Thinking so, Xiao Jie swallowed the ’Fish Demon Transformation Jiao Inner Core’ in one gulp.

Boss level cores really are different, just beginning the refinement process, there was an immediate manifestation of a phenomena, as he saw the phantom of a golden-scaled fish Jiao surrounding his body, the residual demon power inside the core as if unwilling to fade away, echoing through the air were vague roars of Jiao Long.

But as the Demon Refining Technique operated, the golden-scaled fish Jiao faded away gradually and was completely absorbed by him in the end.
