The blood mist burst open, and the street descended into chaos.

Amidst the flickering golden light and scattering white bone powder, Fang Yu quickly concluded the battle but ended up attracting quite a bit of trouble, with many eyes on him.

So, Fang Yu fled.

He must lie low now.

Furthermore, without a doubt, the local demon circle must have started spreading some intelligence about him, or else these demons wouldn’t react this way upon seeing someone emanating such a potent evil qi.

Or perhaps the evil qi on me has dissipated quite a bit?

Fang Yu sensed it; the evil qi had indeed dissipated somewhat, but it was still dense, not something that would fade away in a short time.

It can only be said that the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling’s [soul clothes: broken sleeve] is still exerting power, although its effects are limited and weakening.

It seems I need to conceal myself.

Fang Yu glanced at the chaotic crowd on the street, concealed himself amongst them, and headed toward the Forest Snake Gang’s base.

With night falling and causing quite a commotion, it’s time to sneak away.

He took stock of the day’s gains.

[Attribute Points: 102.]

More than a hundred attribute points earned, bringing a grin to Fang Yu’s face as he started his journey back.

Among them, those two Great Demons of Endless Blood were the main contributors to this three-digit attribute points achievement.

It can be said that since Fang Yu left the wilderness for Thunder City, it had been some time since he had gained so many attribute points.

Moreover, the demons lurking in the city varied in strength, and the low-quality small fry were merely icing on the cake.

But those high-quality demons of two thousand blood, three thousand blood were indeed the main force, steadily boosting his attribute points.

The only flaw was that throughout the day, he had caused quite a stir, even to the extent of attracting certain attention within Thunder City, possibly sparking discussions in the demon circle.

"What a pity..."

Fang Yu sighed.

If I could hunt demons like this every day, why worry about my strength stagnating?

Yet it was clear that this tactic could only be used initially.

Once they become cautious, the demons are not easily lured.

Just like that last Great Demon of Endless Blood hunted, even with Tang Seng’s flesh right in front of it, it dared not make a move, even pretending not to see it, ignoring it, leaving Fang Yu frustrated and forced him to kill the demon in broad daylight, treating it as the final closing act.

It’s only that the demons now, even if they don’t know who I am as Tang Seng’s flesh.

Upon noticing other demons mysteriously dying in quick succession, those still living would raise their guard and dare not act recklessly, choosing instead to lay low.

Fang Yu could identify who the demons were at a glance, but that was only when the demons were lured to him, allowing him to see the health bar and recognize their true form.

When the demons hide and conceal themselves in corners or afar, avoiding face-to-face encounters, Fang Yu was actually powerless.

After all, without seeing them with his own eyes, their health bars wouldn’t display.

And he couldn’t just wander around the streets randomly spotting individuals; it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Luckily, today’s haul was good, the future troubles can be addressed later.

"System, allocate points!"

[Attribute Points: 102→32.]

[Qi Gathering Technique [Wood Level Initial Stage/Initial Understanding]→Qi Gathering Technique [Wood Realm Middle Stage/Initial Understanding].]

Boom!

Allocating points happened in an instant.

But advancing the cultivation method realm was not simply an immediate leap, but rather a painstaking process of daily training and gradual accumulation, slowly altering the state of the Dantian within.

Fang Yu’s sudden point allocation caused a dramatic transformation within his Dantian, expanding instantly and generating a great suction force, pulling all surrounding [Qi] into himself, even creating a small vacuum zone of airflow around.

However, it only lasted less than a breath, everything returning to normal quickly.

Only the continually circulating Qi, flowing through Fang Yu’s body, warming it.

On closer examination, the amount of Qi Force within had nearly doubled!

This meant he could increase output, unleashing more powerful and wider-ranging Qi Explosion Whirlwind, or control output for more frequent Qi Explosion Whirlwinds.

It could be said that he had instantly enhanced the power and sustainability of Qi Force-related techniques.

This, this, this... the Qi Gathering Technique is rather profound???

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback.

Because in his impression, the Qi Gathering Technique was a cultivation technique awarded by the Hall Master of Heavenly Circle Town Foolish Underworld, but these top-level Hall Masters practiced not the original Qi Gathering Technique Fang Yu had, but its advanced version [Purple Qi Technique].

Fang Yu had always considered the Qi Gathering Technique as a mediocre and ordinary cultivation technique among Qi Techniques.

Unexpectedly, as the cultivation method realm rose gradually, this thing... seemed to have quite a bit of potential??

Fang Yu couldn’t help but muse.

His martial arts repertoire was mostly elevated from low-end methods, with slightly higher starting points being this Qi Gathering Technique and Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu.

High-end methods were indeed rare.

But due to the difficulty of acquiring attribute points, he focused on honing a single cultivation technique until reaching the breakthrough realm. That would suffice.

Yet, besides the Primordial Body Technique, which was indispensable, other cultivation techniques had options. If willing to slow down and cultivate other advanced techniques, perhaps the current combat prowess could still increase a few percent??

But Fang Yu reconsidered, finding it too resource-wasting. With existing cultivation techniques ripe for point allocation, starting new techniques from scratch would take ages to reach the breakthrough realm.
