They only truly die when they perish in the Star Realm, a trait oddly similar to some demons in other worldviews.

"Whoosh"

The trembling Swift Sword thrusts forward. With a flick of Murphy’s wrist, a bloody eyeball was slashed out of the Star Realm mountain cat’s eye socket. Agony drove the beast mad, but without its eyes, claws, and tail, it was merely waiting for death in front of Murphy.

Two minutes later, Murphy jabbed his sword into the mountain cat’s ear, scrambling its brain and thereby neatly securing his victory in this hunt.

The rewards were both a sense of accomplishment, and much more tangible:

[Your mastery level for Blood Hawk swordsmanship has risen to "Master"!

Your mastery level has reached its limit and cannot be improved further!

The Blood Hawk Swordsman’s class level has reached 10!

This class has reached its limit and cannot be improved further! Please find a method to advance classes.

Alert!

The standard upgrade for the Vulture Swordsman is Vulture·Tomb Guardian. You currently have mastery over the Tomb Guardian swordsmanship technique. Please raise it to "Expert" and create the Tomb Emblem to complete the class advancement.

You currently wield the secret sword technique of the Shadow Elf Mejewa Clan, you can choose to class advance to: Shadow Elf Sword Singer.

This class advancement requires raising Mejewa’s secret sword technique to "Expert" and visiting the Mejewa clan temple. With the help of the Weaver of Destiny, you can complete the class advancement.

Your character level has reached 10!

"Strength Trial·Black Iron Body" initiated! Please read the rules of the Strength Rank and the trial in detail to complete this Strength Trial.]

Seeing this long string of notifications brought a joyful smile to Murphy’s face.

Though it wasn’t the typical monster slaying level-up, there was no doubt that this intense battle with the Star Realm Mountain Cat had allowed for his basic Blood Hawk swordsmanship to naturally break through its final bottleneck.

This was to be expected. After all, however complex it was, it was still just a basic skill.

But to Murphy’s surprise, the elf sword technique he’d obtained from Adel could actually trigger a special class advancement. And this gave him a daring idea.

Perhaps...

This exotic sword technique could be used as a ’hidden reward’ for the brilliant contributions of the little players?

Since there were hidden rewards already, it wouldn’t be fun without bringing together other precious items and some sort of lucky spin wheel or loot box surprise. The only thing is that this "game" couldn’t be powered up by spending money, otherwise, this mysterious elf sword technique would definitely be worth a VIP3 member reward, wouldn’t it?

With these regretful thoughts, Murphy found the specific information for the "Strength Trial·Black Iron Body" in the Strength Rank column on his character card:

[Noun Explanation - Black Iron Body:

According to the elves’ traditional ways of dividing power, individuals are allocated to several stages: Mortal→Professional→Black Iron Body→Silver Body→Transcendent Gold Body→Transcendent Perfect Body/Semigod Borderline.

Each represents the elves’ ancient descriptions of strength at different life form stages.

The Black Iron Body can be understood as a regular person, through strict training and countless battles, mastering their own body to its limits and unleashing its due destructive power. The meaning of Black Iron Trials is to unlock and constantly dig out individual potential by challenging powerful enemies.

Throughout the whole Black Iron Body rank, an individual’s potential will continually be unearthed, achieving a stronger rebuild at the life form level, and then facing the Silver Trial’s gained transcendent strength from embracing Spiritual Energy.]

"Well, it’s not hard to comprehend! And these elves’ way of dividing power really does have the taste of in-game power systems; it’s so perfect that I can directly use it as game data without much modification."

Murphy gave this explanation a thumbs up.

Then he looked at the contents of his Black Iron Trial and his face fell:

[Strength Trial - Black Iron Body - Vampire Race Exclusive: Hunt down Black Iron Rank enemies solo and drink their fresh blood until potential is unlocked, or solo challenge a Black Iron Rank Elite Lifeform to unlock potential.

This trial must be completed solo, any external help will be deemed as failure of the trial!]

"Damn it!"

Murphy muttered in the darkness:

"So, the plan is straightforward, beat monsters above my ranking? In order to become a Black Iron one, I need to slaughter an Elite Black Iron? And you suggest that I choose a being with blood?

So Star Realm Beasts won’t work?

Fuck!

In Cardman City’s present chaos, where am I supposed to find a Black Iron Rank enemy with blood!?

Why don’t you just spawn one out of thin air?

Man, the saying is right, reality really is a crappy game!"
