Chapter 472: Chapter 353 Red Spirit

The distribution room was located on the floor below the basement, and there was no underground parking here, so the group simply followed the stairs down to their destination.

The door to the room wasn’t locked, and it seemed that typically, no one would come here. Moreover, with the recent rampant ghost stories circulating around the apartment, even fewer people were willing to venture into this area.

As they opened the door and walked in, a green orb of light charged towards them. Zhang Xiaoman was prepared, having already spotted the sneaky creature planning to ambush them from afar with his Spirit Detection Technique.

With a punch, a Dark Energy Shock took care of the monster before him, and he immediately turned his attention to the other two monsters in the room.

"Hmm, they’re just the lowest-level green Wandering Spirits... Huh? Seems like there’s a big one hiding inside there."

Speaking, he launched two more Dark Energy Shocks, casually annihilating the two Wandering Spirits and his gaze then shifted to a table in the room.

Scattered on the table were several pieces of paper that appeared to have slight Dark Energy fluctuations, and within one of them, he felt a familiar aura—it was from the Wandering Spirits he had been killing off by the dozens today.

As if aware that its cover was blown or perhaps attracted by the Dark Energy emanating from Zhang Xiaoman’s body, the creature no longer concealed itself and transformed into a streak of light, flying out from the paper.

"Looks like you’re the BOSS..."

Zhang Xiaoman observed the monster. Aside from a stronger Dark Energy aura, the creature’s biggest difference from ordinary Wandering Spirits was its color.

No matter what the other Wandering Spirits looked like in the wall graffiti, once they revealed themselves, they all shared an unsettling green hue.

The creature before him, although similar in size to the ordinary Wandering Spirits, was colored in blazing red, resembling a roaring flame, illuminating its surroundings.

At this moment, as soon as the monster emerged from the drawing, it initiated its attack.

It didn’t foolishly rush forward like the ordinary Wandering Spirits but instead, with a shake of its body, dozens of fireballs were shot out from within, hurtling towards Zhang Xiaoman’s direction.

However, calling these things fireballs seemed to be giving them too much credit.

Though a whole bunch fired in all directions, to Zhang Xiaoman, they were at most just a scattering of tiny sparks.

They were like the flames from a lighter, so insignificant that one wouldn’t even feel the urge to dodge.

Still, adhering to the principle of safety first, Zhang Xiaoman still chose to take a small step back to avoid most of the attack when faced with these unknown entities.

The few that he couldn’t dodge, he simply waved his arm and deflected them.

"This weak...?"

He checked his Dark Energy and found that it hadn’t depleted at all; the flames hadn’t even breached his clothes.

Zhang Xiaoman was wearing a Polar Star Robe, which operated like a piece of fashion—it wouldn’t sustain damage or ward off any attacks; when struck, the attacks would simply pass through.

The flames from the monster had all hit the clothing underneath Zhang Xiaoman’s robe, flickering like they were briefly teased by a lighter, unable even to breach the fabric of common clothes.

He had originally thought this monster possessed some special attributes, but it appeared it wasn’t much stronger than the most low-level Wandering Spirits.

Seeing that its attack had no effect, the monster sped up and plunged into the nearby wall, which bore some graffiti. It entered precisely at a depiction of a majestic eagle, spreading its wings in flight.

The eagle seemed to come to life, its wings flaring out as it started moving across the wall.

Its speed was totally unlike the ordinary Wandering Spirits, which moved slowly and with minimal range; this creature didn’t seem to be bound by those limitations.

Or rather, it was subject to far fewer restrictions.

The red monster that possessed the eagle began to move freely along the wall, its speed was not slow either, and it quickly arrived at Zhang Xiaoman’s side.

A pair of sharp claws emerged, eerily elongated, looking nothing like what a normal eagle would possess.

Behind him, Aaron and Beelu saw those increasingly elongated claws and couldn’t help feeling a surge of dread.

They, as Americans, seemed to have a particular fear of such slender creatures; many bizarre legends featured such monsters as the most capable of invoking their fear.

However, Zhang Xiaoman did not hesitate at all; his hands arranged the Dark Energy Formula, and a Burst Spirit Skill was immediately ready. He raised his hand and shot it towards the monster beside him.

"Buzz~~~"

With a sharp and piercing scream, this creature followed the footsteps of its green counterparts, shattered with a single hit.

"This... indeed, is a weakling..."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the red bead that fell out from the wall, his mouth twitching involuntarily, as he hadn’t expected the monster to be unable to withstand even one Burst Spirit Skill.

Then, he promptly gestured, gathering the scattered corpses of several nearby monsters in front of himself.

"Ding, Wandering Spirit essence absorbed, points increased by 2."

"..."

After absorbing a few ordinary Wandering Spirits in one breath and gaining 8 points, Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze turned to the remaining red bead.

"Ding, Red Spirit essence absorbed, points increased by 12."

This time, finally, there was a monster worth more than a single-digit number of points.

It seemed that 12 points should be considered above mid-level 1, but the exhibited abilities seemed inferior to many Corpse Demons worth seven or eight points.

After some thought, Zhang Xiaoman came up with an answer.

These Wandering Spirits couldn’t be considered garbage, they were just too eccentric—pure energy bodies that, against those who solely rely on physical attacks, naturally stood invincible.

But when facing someone like Zhang Xiaoman, who had mastered the Burst Spirit Skill and also equipped a Star Ring that doubled energy attacks, they seemed less impressive.

Just like the previous Blood Butterfly, even though it had the strength over level 2, it was finished with just two shots by the Star Guard due to its fragile constitution.

One could only say that these monsters each had their traits, and as long as their weaknesses were pinpointed and appropriately targeted, dealing with them became very straightforward.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaoman withdrew his thoughts from analyzing the monsters and summarized the points he had just acquired, discovering with some surprise that he now possessed 216 points.

Although part of these were contributed by Lord Bear and others, many points were available for his own use. He decided that after dealing with the situation here, he would return to the Original Realm and have a good Upgrade session.

PS: An earlier setting regarding the Morning Star Ring has been modified.

The ability to double its recovery effects has been simplified to one-way, meaning that when the ring’s owner uses it on themselves, it can only be doubled once, not twice.

This change aims to streamline data; otherwise, not only would I have a headache over the complex figures, but dear readers might also find it confusing and overly complicated. I ask for your understanding.
