"However, the requirement is to kill a level 6 demon beast or wild monster. To be on the safe side, I'll use the remaining skill points!"
I'll have to use them sooner or later anyway.
"Speed +1, Defense +1."
The panel data changed.
Checking the panel.
Speed: 7.9/10
Defense: 7.9/10
Attack: 5.9/10
Experience Points: 0
"There's already a two-level difference between speed, defense, and attack. I've reached the experience point limit. I can only gain a maximum of three experience points before I need to break through."
But Ye Que wasn't worried about whether he could kill a level 6 demon beast or wild monster.
He was joking; his defense and speed were at the peak of level 7. Level 6 demon beasts or wild monsters wouldn't be able to damage him, let alone catch up to him.
If he combined it with the Rock Seal, his defense could even reach level 8.
Moreover, once the talent counterattack was triggered, the counterattack damage would reach level 7.
His attack was also not to be underestimated; combined with Shadow Strike, its destructive power could reach level 6.
Who could withstand that?
He climbed deeper into the demon beast forest.
With map scanning, finding a level 6 demon beast wouldn't be difficult.
"Map scan alert: 700 meters to the upper left, one level 5 monster and two level 6 monsters have appeared."
"Those assassins?"
Ye Que exclaimed in surprise.
"Who cares! My defense and speed are at level 7, and with my talent boost, I'm not afraid of being surrounded. I'll just grab one level 6 monster and beat it up!"
He accelerated and ran towards the upper left.
"Map scan alert: 700 meters to the left, one level 4 monster has appeared."
"System alert: One level 4 monster is rapidly approaching, please take cover!"
Ye Que frowned. Why are there so many people in the Monster Forest?
At this moment, a terrified girl ran past in a panic.
"It's a girl named Xue Lingluo. She actually ran deep into the Monster Forest. She's really lucky to be alive."
Ye Que was surprised.
"Xue Lingluo, your Xue family is gone, and you're all alone. You'd better obediently submit to me!"
A young man chased after Xue Lingluo, a savage grin on his face.
Behind the young man, two guards followed expressionlessly.
"Your family was wiped out, and a girl has fallen to this state? Fine, I was just about to kill a level six monster to save your life!"
Although the destruction of the Xue family had nothing to do with him, he had received favors from them. Now that he saw the Xue family girl in distress, helping her couldn't be a bad thing.
*Whoosh*
—Ye Que rushed forward.
"Little turtle?"
Xue Lingluo was startled when she saw a palm-sized turtle run past her side.
She had already given up hope.
Her family had been slaughtered, and after a night of fleeing, she was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Now, encountering the eldest son of the Long family, she had no strength left to escape.
She was prepared to commit suicide, knowing she was about to be captured and tortured by the eldest son.
Unexpectedly, the magical little turtle that saved her last night had reappeared.
"Where did this dead turtle come from? Get out of my way!"
The young man released his level five aura, kicking the oncoming turtle.
"Please don't add the word 'dead' before 'turtle'!"
Ye Que charged even faster.
"Rock Seal!"
A semi-transparent turtle shell mark appeared on his shell.
The kick came.
"Ding! Host's talent triggered, counterattack!"
Crack!
It was the sound of bones breaking!
"Ah... Pfft!"
The young man was hit hard, flying backward with a scream, blood splattering in the air.
Bang!
He crashed to the ground, his head lolling to the side, dead.
"Ding! Host has killed a level 5 monster! Gained 1 experience point."
"Ding! Proficiency in the Rock Seal increased by 15."
Ye Que was satisfied.
It was good to keep his realm at level 5; killing someone of the same realm would only give him 1 experience point.
If he broke through to level 6, he would only get 0.5 experience points.
The two guards were stunned.
He kicked himself to death?
"Young Master!"
One guard came to his senses and ran towards the young man.
"You bastard! You dared to kill the eldest young master of the Long family! Today I'll tear you to pieces!"
The other guard roared, drawing his knife and slashing at the tortoise.
He was a level 6 martial artist; one strike could kill the tortoise.
Ye Que neither dodged nor evaded.
The knife landed on the tortoise's back.
"Ding! Host's talent triggered, counterattack!"
Crack—
the blade shattered instantly!
The guard's expression changed drastically.
How could this be!
He was a sixth-level martial artist; even someone of the same level couldn't withstand a single strike.
Yet this tortoise not only withstood it but also shattered his blade!
Even an iron tortoise wouldn't be this resilient!
"My turn!"
Ye Que sneered.
Although his attack was at the fifth level, it was at the peak of the fifth level, infinitely close to the sixth.
Combined with the speed and skills of a sixth-level martial artist, its power reached the sixth level.
It was enough to kill his opponent.
"Shadow Strike!"
Swish—
Ye Que left an afterimage in place.
"Not good!"
The guard vaguely saw the tortoise flash in front of his neck and immediately suppressed his shock.
He threw a punch.
"Stone Seal!"
Ye Que unleashed his second skill.
"Ding! Host's talent triggered, counterattack!"
The guard was instantly severely injured.
Without giving him a chance to breathe, Shadow Strike arrived.
The guard's hand was severed.
"Ah!"
The guard screamed, clutching his severed hand.
"Fifth level cultivation has reached its peak, combined with skills, its power is immense!"
Ye Que wanted to use Shadow Strike again to finish this man off.
"Get out of the way!"
A loud shout came from the side.
It was the guard who had been checking on the young master of the Long family, striking with a palm.
Ye Que smiled coldly, retracting his head and limbs into his tortoise shell.
"Rock Seal!"
"Ding! Host's talent triggered, counterattack!"
Bang!
The guard was severely injured, sent flying.
Ye Que landed and charged towards the guard with the severed hand again.
"Don't come any closer!" The one -
handed guard was terrified and kept retreating.
However, losing his composure would only hasten his death.
Shadow Strike!
Swish—
Ye Que appeared next to the one-handed guard's head.
A fatal wound appeared on the guard's neck, and blood spurted out.
"Ding! Host has killed a level 6 monster! Gained 2 experience points."
"Ding! Killed a level 6 monster, activated the Ancient God Devouring Scripture! Please pay attention to the panel data!"
The guard, who had been blasted away, ran away as if he had seen a ghost, carrying his dead young master.
Ye Que was about to make a move when he suddenly realized
that he had already gained enough experience points and could use the Ancient God Devouring Scripture, so killing him was pointless.
Just as he hesitated, the guard had already run far away.
"Consider yourself lucky."
Ye Que gave up on killing him.
"Little Turtle, thank you for saving me."
Xue Lingluo walked up to Ye Que and squatted down.
Her cheeks were covered in dirt, but it couldn't hide her exquisite face.
"Thanking me won't help, we can't communicate."
Ye Que ignored her and walked outside.
Not only had he activated the Ancient God Devouring Heaven Scripture, but he had also greatly improved
his proficiency by using Shadow Strike and Rock Seal multiple times. He was in an exceptionally good mood. "
Do you like to eat aged treasures? I have some here. I'll give you one as a way of repaying you."
Xue Lingluo caught up with him and took out a fragrant fruit from her bag.
