Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility

[Name: Fan Wu]

[Life: 89+]

[Power: 9+]

[Skill: None]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

Fan Wu's character panel underwent yet another change; on his way here, he allocated all the Free Attribute Points he obtained entirely to the [Power] attribute.

In other words, the 3 Free Attribute Points he received today had all been used up.

Fan Wu didn't save his Attribute Points for a crucial moment when he might distribute them as needed... because he currently required a higher [Power] attribute.

To enhance his own sensory sharpness!

Adding points to the Golden Finger's [Power] attribute doesn't refer solely to "strength" itself.

It includes: reaction, agility, perception...

And other various aspects.

The [Power] attribute truly indicates Fan Wu's comprehensive combat ability.

So every time he added points, it was almost a full-scale enhancement of his entire being!

When the [Power] attribute rose from 7.5 to 9, Fan Wu's sensory sharpness had reached an exaggerated level.

To see if that mysterious antagonist was in Gou Lan was simple, he only needed an exaggeratedly large sword and a posture exuding an overwhelming presence...

Then, taking down all the thugs obstructing the way in Gou Lan...

Would be enough to scare a group of people into fleeing helter-skelter!

Because Fan Wu's fierce stance and the dangerous aura emanating from him simply made him look more like a ruthless bandit than the actual bandits!

Fan Wu just watched with his eyes as people panic-strickenly fled from Gou Lan.

In his eyes, the attribute information of these people couldn't remain hidden.

But even when Gou Lan emptied out, leaving no one behind, becoming extremely quiet,

Fan Wu didn't see any particularly special attribute information.

However, in this silent environment...

He heard some peculiar noises!

He heard someone reciting strange incantations, and someone mentioning his name. He also heard the sound of mechanisms operating, as well as footsteps.

Therefore.

He directly headed toward the source of the noises!

Indeed.

He saw a person.

It was the person he was searching for!

There was no helping it... The attribute information floating above that person's head was just too glaring, impossible to overlook.

[Heretic Xuan Shizi — Life: 252 — Power: 5 — Skill: Ghost Nurturing Soul Technique, Paper Talisman Technique, Great Venerator's Descent Secret Technique, Star Lodging Sword Technique]

Just the name that appeared up front had already exposed this person's identity!

Those two words "Heretic" stood out glaringly in Fan Wu's eyes.

However, the [Life] attribute of this person was astoundingly high!

Even higher than that of the Green-faced Water Ghost!

This guy appeared extremely aged, his body riddled with pus-filled sores, and he looked very frail, as if he didn't have many days left to live.

Having such a high [Life] attribute was indeed surprising to Fan Wu.

Also, this person's [Power] attribute was the highest Fan Wu had seen among the living.

And that series of [Skills] listed afterward, Fan Wu was seeing them for the first time as well.

If such a person had his eye on him,

Fan Wu was worried that one day, while he was asleep, he might be inexplicably slain by some ghost.

At this moment.

There were less than ten steps between Fan Wu and Xuan Shizi, Fan Wu could see Xuan Shizi's appearance clearly, and conversely, Xuan Shizi could also clearly see Fan Wu.

Xuan Shizi's eyes suddenly widened!

He recognized Fan Wu!

In all of Qiulong County, the only person with such height and build was Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple.

Moreover, during the recent magical confrontation, Xuan Shizi had caught a vague glimpse of Fan Wu through the eyes of a giant paper effigy.

Now that Fan Wu was finally within close range, Xuan Shizi nearly suffocated from shock!

"I pray to the heavens and the earth, to the merciful Great Venerator to lend me his power!"

But when he thought about the two ghosts he had raised, and the painstakingly crafted paper figures that had fallen into Fan Wu's hands... and the sacrificial offerings that were to be presented to the Great Venerator in a few days, which had also been taken by Fan Wu.

Rage began to seethe in Xuan Shizi's chest.

His eyes flickered with malicious and ruthless colors.

His murderous intent was fully exposed!

His hands continued to form seals, and he murmured, "Borrow the soldiers with spirit, prove the magic with blood! As the Great Venerator commands urgently!"

"Ghost infants! Yin Nu! Appear together!!"

"Stop him for this old man!!"

Xuan Shizi, whose complexion had just become rosy from absorbing a great deal of incense offerings, turned deathly pale at this moment. It was as if his mana had been overly consumed.

After that, he didn't leave any harsh words behind but turned and fled...

He ran towards the underground secret chamber at breakneck speed.

It was hard to imagine how his emaciated body could burst forth with such velocity.

Fan Wu didn't pursue.

Because in front of him, there were ghosts blocking his way.

A lot of ghosts!!

At that moment, within the Gou Lan, the chilly wind howled, threatening to extinguish the candle flames, and hazy ghostly shadows began to appear! An astonishing number of wandering ghosts formed a wall, attempting to stop Fan Wu.

Fan Wu saw numerous stumbling toddler-sized ghost infants and also many flamboyant courtesan ghosts.

Row after row of attribute information appeared before his eyes.

But without exception...

They were all very weak!

Instead of calling them a group of ghosts, it was more apt to label them a swarm of lost souls—they weren't even on the level of "fierce ghosts." They were so weak that there was no need for Fan Wu to draw his Demon-slaying Sword.

He walked step by step towards the group of lost souls, his hand resting on the shoulder of a courtesan spirit.

With a casual flick, the group of lost souls in his way let out chilling wails and then fell in droves.

With a stomp of his foot, several ghost infants dissipated on the spot!

The vigorous yang energy and surging blood qi emanating from Fan Wu were like a scorching forge of steel, and his every punch and kick were absolutely lethal to such inferior spirits...

It was no less deadly than being struck by a Peach Wood Sword!

He was a human-shaped magic artifact!!

[You have successfully killed "Courtesan Ghost A," congratulations, you have earned Free Attribute Points: 0.1!]

[You have successfully killed "Ghost Infant Spirit," congratulations, you have earned Free Attribute Points: 0.05!]

[You have successfully killed "Turtle Slave Spirit"...]

[You have successfully killed...]

It was an unmatched mowing down of foes.

Nothing could be more apt.

These spirits were too weak; with just a few punches and kicks from Fan Wu, no spirits remained in front of him. Through this, he had once again gained another 1 Free Attribute Point.

At that moment, a flight of stairs appeared before Fan Wu. At the bottom of the stairs, it looked as if there was nothing there.

But he had just seen Xuan Shizi panic and activate some mechanism, opening a stone door and entering it.

Fan Wu followed the stairs.

Stepping down one after another.

Thanks to his enhanced hearing ability from his invested attribute points, Fan Wu heard strange movements behind the stone door, and he also heard a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand voices.

It seemed that Xuan Shizi was chanting some strange secret incantations in a very peculiar tone.

There were no longer any stairs in front of Fan Wu for him to continue downwards.

He stopped, his body's muscles tensing in response to his movements, with every inch of his sinews gathering power slowly!

A fierce kick suddenly shot forward!

The briefly accumulated power in his muscles and bones...

Burst forth in an instant!!
