A whopping 88 attribute points!

Counting the previous gains, over a hundred attribute points were reaped in a single night.

Fang Yu was eagerly anticipating what surprises the adventures ahead would hold for him.

Time to start cultivating diligently!

[Attribute points: 88→69.]

[Physique: 281→300.]

[Life: 39753/40342.]

300 points in Physique, equivalent to 3000 Blood Warriors!

Now, he was on the same level as Lin Sheng from that night.

As for actual strength... well, the others had become corpses, so there was nothing more to say.

Keep pushing! Strive to break through to the high-level of Tree Realm as soon as possible!

[Attribute points: 69→19.]

[Qi Gathering Technique [Tree Realm Middle Stage/Initial Understanding] → Qi Gathering Technique [Tree Realm High-level/Initial Understanding].]

The first improvement was in Qi Gathering Technique.

After all, Primordial Body Technique is five-in-one; if not all raised to the same level, the effect isn't significant.

Conversely, [Qi Gathering Technique] and the escape technique [Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu] are independent cultivation techniques with noticeable improvements when enhanced.

In a sense, Primordial Body Technique can be considered a single cultivation technique, but it occupies five skill slots.

Which means naturally having fewer same-level martial arts than others.

However, counting specifically, both Primordial Body Double Zero Sword and Primordial White Shadow Leg can individually be considered cultivation techniques, but their effects can't compare to high-level techniques of the same grade.

With not many attribute points left, I'll save them for now.

Nowadays, Fang Yu feels uninspired without dozens of attribute points on hand.

Upon finishing cultivation, Fang Yu's aura subtly changed and strengthened for a moment, unnoticed by anyone.

Meanwhile, the chaos caused by the Snake Demon's attack had calmed down.

Such a minor demon didn't linger in many minds and instead became a topic for late-night chats.

They reset the perimeters and organized nightwatchers.

With the Snake Demon threat gone, the team started camping and resting as initially planned.

Naturally, Fang Yu didn't rest but began studying the [Node] of Qi Explosion Sky Swirl as advised by Ling Huxiang.

Qi Force techniques, being trump cards, can't be taken lightly.

The night passed swiftly.

This night went by exceptionally peacefully, almost indistinguishable from being in a town.

However, when Fang Yu left the tent and heard the old folks chatting, they only attributed it to good luck, as camping on the highway isn't very safe either.

After all, it was only Fang Yu's first night outdoors, so he wasn't sure what to make of the situation.

Just as the sky started to lighten, the team was packed and ready to set out at any moment.

This team wasn't some weak squad; it was comprised of elite personnel from the Foolish Underworld, each a master among martial artists.

For martial artists, going without sleep for a day or two is nothing.

The reason for camping and resting was simply because the outdoors is more dangerous at night, travel is more difficult, and unforeseen events are more likely to occur.

Also, they were still on the highway, which was relatively safer for resting. Once truly venturing into the wilderness, such safe environments wouldn't exist, then resting wouldn't be a matter of want but of opportunity.

Fang Yu noticed veteran members of the team had an instinctual fear of the wild away from the highway, though it wasn't openly displayed.

"Captain Diao, it's time to go."

Dong Xingzhou came over to report.

[Dong Xingzhou: 3000/3000.]

Looking at Dong Xingzhou's health bar overhead, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel impressed.

When he first met Dong Xingzhou, he was quite intimidated by his high health level.

Now, Fang Yu had finally reached that level himself.

Dong Xingzhou was getting up in years, nearly reaching his limits with his current strength—what martial artists often describe as out of potential.

But Fang Yu, as a player, still had vast room for improvement.

In a way, players had an overwhelming advantage over native NPCs.

With a slight nod to Dong Xingzhou, Fang Yu mounted his big red horse and rode alongside Ling Huxiang, leading the team.

"Let's move out!"

The blazing sun rose in the east and moved directly overhead.

Along the way, the team only faced two demon beast attacks.

Both were lone Thousand Blood Demons attacking suddenly.

They were too far for Fang Yu to act in time; the Deputy Captain and others quickly dealt with the demon beasts, splitting them apart in a blink.

A lone demon attack posed no threat, leaving Fang Yu without a chance to make a move.

Initially, Fang Yu thought he might maneuver to seize a head before the others acted.

The second demon attack came head-on and was dispatched instantly by Ling Huxiang, who was at the front.

Realizing this, Fang Yu abandoned the thought and resumed walking alongside Ling Huxiang at the forefront of the team.

He understood.

In frontal battles, ordinary demon beasts posed no threat to his team, hardly offering a chance for a kill.

Only when sufficiently threatening demon beasts appeared did he have the opportunity to snag some heads.

After traveling for an hour, Fang Yu signaled the team to stop.

Ahead lay a fork in the road.

Three paths led to the Village of Blooming Colors, Bai Wu Town, and Jiujie Mountain respectively.

The Village of Blooming Colors was considered under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan Town, frequently appearing in tasks posted by the Foolish Underworld.

Bai Wu Town was a similar entity, as Tianyuan Town only retained its name post-planning; there were numerous villages and towns under its protection.

Ultimately, Jiujie Mountain led to the wilds; the road wasn't fully paved, an unmanaged zone.
