Chapter 353: Upgrading the Soul Scan skill (1)!
Although not that much, Leo actually managed to earn at least 300,000 horror points in just half a day!
If not for his spiritual qi running low and how some of the low-blood beasts have various tricks under their sleeves, Leo's efficiency would be much higher than now.
Moreover, these problems were only the superficial ones...
The thing that troubled him the most was the agitated Nascent Soul beasts who had suddenly appeared after he had killed the tenth beast — eyes bloodshot as if they couldn't wait to skin him alive!
Although it seems that there are a lot of core formation realm beasts within this independent world, in actuality, their numbers were extremely limited — only numbering in a few hundred. Hence, after the quick deaths of tens of beasts, the Nascent Soul realm beasts hiding beyond the scene, seemingly waiting for something to unfold, could no longer hide their murderous intent and began hunting, clearly wanting to eliminate the one who was causing the trouble...
Fortunately, with the help of the soul parasite within his body, Leo, although barely, still managed to shake off his pursuer earlier.
Allowing him to reap life but in exchange for lower speed.
"Quick, straight toward the North! A nascent soul realm mixed-blood beast was approaching your location with a swift speed!"
As Leo was checking his inventory filled with excellent materials, the weary yet agitated voice of the soul parasite within his body suddenly echoed through his mind, causing his face to flush in anger as he immediately used his void wandering skill!
Abruptly, his illusionary body, shrouded by dark robes and oozing with dreadful smoke filled with inexplicable qi, flickers in the void, fusing within the space before vanishing in his location.
Boom!
At the same time, after Leo had just vanished within the void, a meteorite that spanned up to 10 meters high—blazing with temperature akin to the surface of the sun—descended toward Leo's previous location with precise speed, instantly creating a loud booming explosion that resounded afar.
In an instant, the earth rises through the atmosphere as destructive sonic waves spread around, toppling trees nearby and sending them through the horizon.
"That human managed to escape again; that spatial skill was really hateful. Moreover, how could it manage to escape the formation's ability?"
Looking below, unable to detect a hint of the enemy's aura, even so, part of its body, the buffalo beast, couldn't help but bellow — releasing smoke through its nostrils as it immediately spread its divine senses through its maximum capabilities...
Unfortunately, due to the unusual rule that hangs within the atmosphere, sending a strong probation to anyone under it, the nascent soul realm beast's divine senses could only spread by 250 meters — making its eyes show a hint of annoyance as it hurriedly flew toward the distance.
Although the other party's spatial skill seems impressive, its ability was surely limited, probably only allowing its user to teleport by at least 500 meters.
If he was quick, he surely could have caught the other party's trail.
***
"Huff~ It's been the 5th time already; if this continues, my spiritual qi will surely run out, and eventually I won't be able to activate my void wandering skill."
Consuming the potion bottle within his hands, Leo's face couldn't help but show a rare sight of gloom — checking his character panel before gazing at his exp bar that was halfway filled, almost reaching level 12 of the core formation realm.
Then, after pondering for a while, gazing at the remaining free attributes that almost reach a hundred, Leo decisively put all of his attribute points into spiritual qi, causing his solidified core to churn slightly, condensing before removing the impurities mixed within... Making his qi heavier yet at the same time more efficient.

Horror Points: 310,000!
...
"Almost 750 points; the Qi power might be the second attribute stat that would reach the 1,000 mark."
Looking at his character panel's minute changes, Leo's gaze soon was attracted to his skill column, staring at the level 9 soul scan below in silence before deciding to upgrade it to level 10.
Ding!
[ Upgrading the Soul Scan skill to level 10 would cost 10 medallions of forceful upgrade and 50,000 horror points. (Accept/Decline)? ]
Seeing the notification that popped up in front of him before shifting his gaze toward the rest of the medallion of forceful upgrade within his inventory, Leo couldn't help but release a sigh of helplessness, closing his eyes for a while before touching the accept button without much hesitation.
Boom!
In an instant, upon his illusionary finger touching the invisible panel in front of him, the bronze medallions lying quietly within his inventory began to vanish one by one, turning into a powder before drilling toward his head in a matter of seconds.
Abruptly, after the 10 medallions of forceful upgrade turned into nothingness, the sensation of comfortable coldness, akin to being embraced by a cold corpse, enveloped Leo's being, making his head clearer, yet at the same time stiffed.
Moreover, an unknown memory, containing fragmented knowledge mysteriously, appeared within his head, fusing within and giving him a new profound understanding regarding information.
As if he awakened an innate skill to glean the information of everything he sees.
