Seeing Li Xuanxiao stop, the Spider Demon thought he was afraid and immediately snorted, "We are all working for the New Demon Emperor!
"The humans of this city are a gift to the New Demon Emperor. The New Demon Emperor is a benevolent ruler; it only requires the lives of one city's humans to welcome it. Be grateful, human. If you stop now, there's still time for everything."
Li Xuanxiao chuckled lightly, slowly raised his hand, and formed a palm seal.
Seeing this, the Spider Demon struggled violently, but it was ultimately a futile effort.
[Killed a Xuan Realm Eighth Layer Spider Demon, gained 800 Demon value Points!]
All six demons have been slain!
Li Xuanxiao thought for a moment; he almost forgot that one demon had only been heavily injured earlier and hadn't been finished off yet.
These are all Demon value Points, they can't be wasted!
He immediately searched around and finally slapped it to death.
[Killed a Xuan Realm Seventh Layer Butterfly Demon, gained 700 Demon value Points!]
Five Xuan Realm Seventh Layers, three Xuan Realm Eighth Layers—eight demons in total.
They brought him a full 5,900 Demon value Points!
Adding the 300 points he originally had left over.
His current Demon value Points reached 6,200 points!
He could perform another massive upgrade!
Li Xuanxiao's face lit up with joy, but the System light screen appeared once again!
[Detected that the host has killed 1,000 demons!]
[Unlocked new System function: Deduction]
[Unlocked new System function: Recycle]
!!!
Li Xuanxiao was stunned, then overjoyed! ＼(°O°)／
This was the first time since his Transmigration that he had seen a new change in the System. He had thought he could only use Demon value Points to increase the Realms of his Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts. Unexpectedly, the System unlocked new functions today.
He immediately opened the System interface to check the descriptions of the new abilities.
After browsing for a bit, the smile on Li Xuanxiao's face could no longer be hidden.
[Deduction: By consuming Demon value Points, perform Deductions on existing Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques; there is a chance to deduce new Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques of a higher grade!]
[Recycle: Exchange obsolete Martial Arts for Demon Value Points (return value depends on grade). Cultivation insights are preserved. Removing an art does not cause Realm regression, but further mastery upgrades require the art/technique to be re-added.]
The two new functions each had their uses, especially the Deduction function, which was exactly what Li Xuanxiao needed most right now.
He immediately opened the System panel.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Xuan Realm Peak]
[Cultivation Techniques:
Strength - Evergreen Art (Transcendent)
Extreme - Myriad Manifestations Purple Extreme Art (Transcendent)
Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts:
Strength - Spirit Condensing Slash (Transcendent), Nine Steps of the Soaring Eagle (Transcendent), Ten Thousand Blades Annihilation Saber (Transcendent)
Extreme - Silent Heart Method (Transcendent), Riding the Wind (Transcendent)
Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Major Achievement) Pure Lotus Flower (Major Achievement), Rainbow Light Movement (Major Achievement)]
[Demon value Points: 6,200]
He would use the Deduction function later; first, he would Recycle those outdated and lagging Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.
With his current Realm, a casual strike was far more powerful than the Martial Arts he had learned previously.
A random movement was also far more exquisite than the footwork he had learned before.
Therefore, recycling these Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts would not affect his strength.
[Successfully recycled Strength Realm Cultivation Technique Evergreen Art, returned 10 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully recycled Strength Realm martial art Spirit Condensing Slash, returned 10 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully recycled...]
The light screen flashed continuously, and by the time it stopped, the System panel had become much simpler.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Xuan Realm Peak]
[Cultivation Technique: Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts: Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Major Achievement), Xuan - Pure Lotus Flower (Major Achievement), Xuan - Rainbow Light Movement (Major Achievement)]
[Demon value Points: 6,330]
Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts below the Xuan Realm were now of negligible help to him.
Li Xuanxiao cleared them all out at once. Out with the old, in with the new.
Those hundreds of Xuan Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts in the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division were his true targets.
"The System's Recycle function has been tested; next, let's try Deduction!"
With anticipation in his heart, Li Xuanxiao immediately selected Ancient Subtle Life Lotus for Deduction.
[Insufficient Demon value Points!]
[Deducing a Xuan Realm Cultivation Technique requires at least 10,000 Demon value Points!]
"Hiss—"
Li Xuanxiao took a sharp breath; the cost of Deduction was actually this high?
High was one thing, but it wasn't even guaranteed to succeed.
Li Xuanxiao clicked his tongue inwardly; this function was a money pit, a bottomless hole!
"Say no to gambling and drugs; it starts with me!"
Li Xuanxiao complained.
It seemed that wanting to deduce a Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique right now was undoubtedly a pipe dream. He still needed to save up a certain amount of Demon value Points before trying again. Ten thousand was just the starting price; if he really wanted a successful Deduction, he'd need to prepare at least a hundred thousand to test the waters.
According to the rules of the Gacha-god, a ten-pull always has a pity guarantee!
He didn't know if the System had such a rule, but regardless, he would save up a hundred thousand first.
Deducing Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts was destined not to be a task completed in a single day. But investing in existing Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts could bring about tangible improvements!
Looking at the ample Demon value Points in his hand, Li Xuanxiao immediately invested it into those three Xuan Realm Martial Arts.
[Consumed 1,000 Demon value Points, Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal has entered the Perfection Realm!]
[Consumed 3,000 Demon value Points, Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal has reached the Transcendent Realm!]
[Consumed 1,000 Demon value Points, Pure Lotus Flower has entered the Perfection Realm!]
[Consumed 1,000 Demon value Points, Rainbow Light Movement has entered the Perfection Realm!]
6,000 Demon value Points were consumed in an instant; one of the three Martial Arts reached the Transcendent Realm, and the other two entered the Perfection Realm.
Another significant improvement!
Li Xuanxiao exited the System and set out on the return journey to the Demon Slaying Division with Shen Tianyou and Lian Meini.
When the two had come, they were talking and laughing, but now they were much more silent.
Perhaps they were frightened by the cruelty and bloodiness of the demons and still had lingering fears. Or perhaps they were shocked by the terrifying strength he had displayed and couldn't snap out of it for a while.
Li Xuanxiao didn't bother to think about it; his current Realm could no longer be hidden.
Even if he asked the two to keep it a secret, it would be to no avail.
Eight demons with Realms at the Xuan Realm Seventh and Eighth Layers, and they even knew various Demonic Techniques. And then you tell me that a Xuan Realm Seventh Layer Martial Artist and a Xuan Realm Eighth Layer Martial Artist, plus a negligible Xuan Realm First Layer...
...slew them all?
If human Martial Artists were really that powerful, there wouldn't be any chaos from demons in this world.
The world would have been at peace long ago!
So even if he lied and concealed it, others wouldn't believe it; sooner or later, they would get to the bottom of it and find out his Realm. Since that was the case, he might as well be generous and go public with it.
Let them slowly digest this shocking information.
Anyway, after he returned this time and collected the mission rewards and extra compensation from the Patrol Hall Master, he would go straight to the Mission Hall and take all the Xuan Realm missions.
Then he would immediately set out to slay demons and eliminate devils; no one would be able to find him.
Oh, right!
He also had to tell the people of the Demon Slaying Division the news of the New Demon Emperor's appearance so they could prepare early. He didn't want them to be caught off guard when the time came.
As Li Xuanxiao organized the many plans in his mind, a familiar topographic outline appeared before his eyes.
The Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division had arrived!
