Chapter 87: Chapter 75: Godslaying Skill

Master!

Master!!

Fang Xiu was awakened by a pleasant voice.

He opened his eyes to find himself lying on his bed.

And beside him lay Kajimi.

At this moment, Kajimi’s eyes were filled with a seductive allure, a faint smile playing on her lips as she stared at Fang Xiu.

Seeing her meaningful smile...

Fang Xiu jolted and sat straight up.

He threw back the covers and, seeing that nothing seemed out of the ordinary, let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, what are you doing!"

Kajimi said with a hint of playful reproach.

Then she guided Fang Xiu back down to lie on the bed.

"Ka... *Ahem*, Kajimi, why am I here?"

Fang Xiu clearly remembered being inside that Inheritance Crystal Ball just a moment ago.

It seemed he was in the middle of inheriting something.

But when he opened his eyes, he was back in a room.

"I don’t know either. Master passed out after touching the Inheritance Crystal Ball, so I brought you here."

Kajimi answered, "Master, what... what happened to you?"

"I... I think there was an old man... who passed something down to me?"

Fang Xiu tried to recall.

’That voice... it sounded like an old man, right?’

"I am the goddamn Star God!"

Just then, an angry voice seemed to echo in Fang Xiu’s mind.

HISS!

The voice was so loud it made Fang Xiu suck in a sharp breath.

"Master, are you alright?"

Kajimi asked with some concern.

Fang Xiu shook his head. "It’s nothing. Isn’t the Star Night Goddess Asteria?"

"Huh? Yes, she is!"

Kajimi nodded.

The Star Night Goddess is Asteria, the younger sister of the Dark Night Goddess Leto.

That... Everyone knows that!

"Never mind, it’s nothing!"

Fang Xiu shook his head.

In any case, the voice from before didn’t appear again.

Just now, Fang Xiu had heard "Star God," not "Star Night Goddess."

He was just testing to see if that old man was still in his head.

Fang Xiu was worried that it wasn’t an Inheritance Crystal Ball at all, but a trap left by this old man to possess someone’s body.

Fortunately, he didn’t feel anything strange right now.

’If that old man really wanted to possess me, he should have succeeded long ago.’

’After all, I was completely immobilized just now.’

’Possessing me would have been simple.’

’I was too reckless. I have to be more careful in the future. Who the hell knows what these Deities are plotting!’

Fang Xiu made up his mind.

From now on, no matter what he obtained, he had to be extra cautious.

"By the way, Kajimi, didn’t I tell you not to enter my room without my permission?"

At that moment, Fang Xiu suddenly remembered something.

He recalled the seductive look in Kajimi’s eyes when he had just woken up.

’Did something happen while I was unconscious?’

"Master, take a good look. This is Kajimi’s room!"

Kajimi said with a smile.

Her hand casually rested on Fang Xiu’s shoulder.

"Huh?"

Fang Xiu sat up again and looked around.

’Well, I’ll be damned. This really is Kajimi’s room.’

"Master, don’t move!"

Kajimi’s voice was still very gentle.

It sent Fang Xiu’s heart racing.

But in the end, he managed to restrain himself.

’A Succubus’s allure is truly no joke!’

"I’m fine. That corpse from the Gate World, has it been dealt with?"

Fang Xiu shook his head, not daring to lie down again.

He suddenly remembered the classmate Kajimi had killed.

Although the guy had trespassed and threatened an Awakened...

...Fang Xiu was still technically responsible for the death of a normal person, so it naturally needed to be handled.

"Yes, I threw him into the lake. But there doesn’t seem to be any activity!"

Kajimi nodded slightly.

"Activity? You mean that thing at the bottom of the lake?"

Fang Xiu understood immediately.

’Damn, the guy’s already dead, and you’re using him as bait?’

’Just what I’d expect from a Succubus. I like it.’

’But the creature in the lake didn’t make a move. Does that mean it doesn’t like to eat people?’

’No, maybe it’s just not interested in corpses.’

Fang Xiu shook his head. If there was no activity, then there was nothing to be done.

"Master, have some water!"

Kajimi saw that Fang Xiu didn’t look well.

She got up and poured him a glass of water.

Fang Xiu took it and had a sip.

He then called out to Tongzi, saying, "System, show me my stats!"

[Fang Xiu]

[Level: 12]

[Profession: Sacrificial Master (SSS)]

[Active Skills: Sacrifice, Netherworld Thunder Fall, Star Punishment (Forbidden Curse)]

[Passive Skills: Fire Immunity (Level 1), Nether King’s True Eye (Level 1)]

[Life Increase: 10%]

[Equipment: Life Staff (Expandable)]

"PFFT!"

Fang Xiu spat out a mouthful of water.

’What the hell?’

He never would have thought that he would just get a third Skill like this.

A third Skill at only Level 12.

Who would believe it if he told them?

Most importantly, this third Skill was a Forbidden Curse?

This... The thing he inherited from the Inheritance Crystal Ball was actually a Forbidden Curse.

Although the name [Star Punishment] was a little perfunctory...

...the label was perfectly clear.

The two words "Forbidden Curse" were especially obvious!

"Master, what is it? Was the water temperature not right?"

Kajimi asked when she saw Fang Xiu spit out the water.

She thought it was either too hot or too cold.

Fang Xiu shook his head. "No, your water was just right."

He immediately checked the details of this so-called Forbidden Curse Skill.

[Star Punishment: Wield the Star Power to forcibly lock onto and immobilize an opponent, ignoring their strength. Then, burn your own Spiritual Power to ignite the Star Fire and incinerate them to ashes!]

[Note: The immobilization duration depends on the Level difference with the opponent. The greater the Level difference, the shorter the duration, with a minimum immobilization time of three seconds.]

[Note: The burn duration of the Star Fire is related to the user’s Spiritual Power. The more Spiritual Power, the longer the burn time. The burn’s power is not affected.]

[Note: This Skill can only be used during a Starry Night.]

’This... counts as a Forbidden Curse?’

Fang Xiu was a little baffled as he read the description.

But on second thought, even against Deities, a Level 12 Fang Xiu could immobilize them for at least three seconds.

Although that seemed completely useless...

...if Fang Xiu’s strength were greater, perhaps he could even kill Deities.

And the power was the same—as long as Fang Xiu was strong enough and the burn time was long enough, even Deities would be finished.

The most important thing was that even if Fang Xiu’s Spiritual Power could only sustain the burn for one second...

...it would be one second at maximum power.

The Skill’s power wouldn’t be weakened due to Fang Xiu’s own lack of strength.

As for the Starry Night restriction... ’well, it’s a Forbidden Curse. They’re bound to have their own quirks.’

’Otherwise, how could it be called a Forbidden Curse?’

Originally, Fang Xiu had thought that even if the Inheritance Crystal Ball truly passed on a Skill...

...it would probably just be a minor one, at most a bit stronger than what he’d get from absorbing a Demon Core.

He would have been satisfied with that.

But he never, ever expected that the Inheritance Crystal Ball would grant him a Godslaying Skill.

As long as Fang Xiu was powerful enough and had enough Spiritual Power, even Deities would have no way to escape.

Fang Xiu couldn’t wait to try it out.

But at the moment... he didn’t have any test subjects.

"Master, do you want to try out your new Skill? Kajimi can help you test it!"

As if sensing Fang Xiu’s thoughts...

Kajimi looked at Fang Xiu and spoke softly.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu immediately shook his head and refused.

Fang Xiu wasn’t sure if the Skill’s immobilization and incineration were a single package or could be controlled separately.

So he didn’t dare test it on Kajimi.

If they were a package deal, then even with Fang Xiu’s current limited Spiritual Power...

...the incineration would still be at maximum power.

Fang Xiu was unwilling to let Kajimi get hurt.

’With Star Punishment, the stronger my Spiritual Power, the longer the duration. So... my current strength at Level 12 is definitely lacking!’

Fang Xiu felt a little helpless.

Recently, his skills at hunting Demon Beasts in the Seventh Gate World had improved quite a bit.

The rewards he had gained were also plentiful.

Unfortunately... he hadn’t seen much improvement in his Level.

At this moment, the elegant, aloof figure of a woman flashed through Fang Xiu’s mind.

’I wonder how much her Level has increased?’

Fang Xiu thought to himself.

Chu Qingxue’s Awakening was at S Level, which is equivalent to Level 7, and she improved later on.

Her speed wasn’t slow at all.

If she had been cultivating diligently during this time, she might have already caught up to Fang Xiu.

’This won’t do. I have to cultivate diligently too!’

Fang Xiu sighed in resignation.

’If only it were like an online game where killing monsters gave you EXP. How great would that be!’

Unfortunately... Spiritual Power still had to be gained through one’s own Cultivation.

Otherwise, it was impossible to improve in the slightest.

’It’s time to see if I have enough Points to exchange for a more advanced Cultivation Technique.’

Fang Xiu considered.

His current Cultivation Technique was the most basic one taught by the school.

If he could get a more advanced one, perhaps his Cultivation speed would increase.

He had hunted quite a few Demon Beasts in the Seventh Gate World before.

They ranged from Level 10 to Level 35.

Level 11 to Level 20 are Tier Two, worth 2 Points each.

Level 21 to Level 30 are Tier Three, worth 4 Points per Demon Beast.

A Level 35 Demon Beast is equivalent to Tier Four and is worth a full 8 Points.

Fang Xiu hadn’t checked his Points carefully, but he knew he definitely had a lot.

After all, under the leadership of Yuan Heng and the others, he had hunted many packs of Demon Beasts.

He had also encountered many along the way.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu opened the website Yuan Heng had given him, logged into his account, and checked his Points.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

[Level: 12]

[Points: 2890]

’Over two thousand eight hundred Points. Not bad!’

Seeing the number of Points, Fang Xiu was quite satisfied.

He then opened the shop on the site and typed the two words "Cultivation Technique" into the search bar.

Soon, a long list of Cultivation Techniques popped up.

These Cultivation Techniques were arranged by grade: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and so on.

Bronze was the lowest grade.

Fang Xiu opened it and clicked to take a look.

[Bronze Level Cultivation Technique (Starts at 100 Points)]

[Silver Level Cultivation Technique (Starts at 1000 Points)]

’So expensive?’

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that over ten days of hard work would only be enough to exchange for one Silver Level Cultivation Technique.

Of course, if anyone else knew what Fang Xiu was thinking, they would surely cough up blood.

Because Fang Xiu had earned over two thousand Points in just a dozen or so days.

Points that might take others more than half a year, or even longer, to accumulate!
