Chapter 276 The Focus of the Chase
Reading Settings
"If it were normal cultivation, I should have been surrounded by blood mist, completely enveloped in it."
"It seems that leveling up directly with experience points can save us from this trouble."
Cao Kun smiled. Leveling up his experience points had many benefits, but the downside was that it hurt terribly.
that is……
Cao Kun's expression changed immediately when he entered the system.
Blood Fiend Golden Body: Level 1
Experience points: 9,994,400
My experience points decreased by 10,000.
Previously, upgrading other skills from level four to level five only cost 10,000.
Right now, this is just the beginning, and it's already at 10,000.
Don't underestimate this small difference; it will become a huge gap later on.
"No wonder it's so powerful, it's too expensive."
"However, this is a body-refining technique, which is essentially a cultivation method, so it's understandable."
Cao Kun consoled himself.
"Let's continue upgrading."
Just as Cao Kun was about to press the button, he looked down at his body and found a layer of thick, blackish-brown substance on his skin.
If you get close to it, it has a faint fishy smell, but otherwise it's nothing special. It's just that it looks a bit disgusting.
Cao Kun knew that this was because the blood and bone marrow had been strengthened, and impurities were being expelled.
This is because so much stuff is released during the first upgrade; it won't happen again after that.
Cao Kun took a shower, threw away his old clothes, changed into a new set, and then started leveling up again.
"upgrade!"
This time, the pain wasn't as severe.
Although it still hurt a lot, not much better than being cut with a knife, it was much better than the first time. At least Cao Kun could endure it without screaming.
Of course, it's also possible that he's just used to it.
A dozen minutes later.
Bloodthirsty Golden Body: Double Level
Experience points: 9,944,400
This time, I lost 50,000 experience points.
Needless to say, the next time it will definitely be 100,000.
Previously, upgrading a skill from level six to level seven only cost 100,000.
However, this also greatly improves physical fitness.
Cao Kun could sense that his six senses had been greatly enhanced.
Body tempering techniques are expensive, but worth it.
"Continue upgrading!"
Bloodthirsty Golden Body: Triple
Experience points: 9,844,400
Cao Kun continues to upgrade.
Bloodthirsty Golden Body: Sixfold
Experience points: 3,344,400
When you reach level six and have over 3 million experience points left, the Blood Fiend Golden Body can no longer be upgraded.
The next level requires 10 million experience points.
At this moment, Cao Kun felt that his physique was such that he could completely dominate the golden-armored corpse Jason without relying on anything else.
This pure power boost is also very satisfying.
Cao Kun suppressed his excitement and looked at the other skills.
"Huh!"
Cao Kun's previous "Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique" was at level eight.
However, he now discovers that the level of this spell has changed.
It turned into perfection.
"It seems that the Blood Fiend Golden Body has an amplifying effect on spells related to one's physique, and has even directly increased its level."
"That's good, it saves me some experience points."
"The art of cursing has been upgraded!"
"Heavenly Array Record Upgraded!"
Cao Kun spent 2 million experience points to upgrade these two skills to perfection.
The highest level of a skill is only level nine.
He now has 1,344,400 points left.
"Yin Yang Creation Technique Upgraded!"
"Fear manifests and intensifies!"
After another 1 million experience points disappeared, both skills were upgraded to level eight.
At this point, all the upgrade buttons turned gray and could no longer be upgraded.
His attribute values are now as follows:
Host: Cao Kun
Identity: Second-rate heretical cultivator
Technique: The Art of Condensing All Evil
Cultivation level: Seventh Rank of Soul Devouring
Body Refinement Technique: Blood Fiend Golden Body (Sixth Level)
Skills (Spells):
Corpse Refining Technique
Yin Fu Technique
Ghost Raising Technique
Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth Technique
Yin Yang Creation Technique: Level 8
Cursed Arts: Perfection
Gu Poisoning Technique: Level 7
Heavenly Array Records: Perfection
Flesh and Blood Regeneration Technique: Perfection
Soul Refining Technique: Level 7
Fear Manifestation: Level 8
Experience points: points
This was yet another rewarding exorcism trip.
If things continue like this, breaking through to the Spirit Devourer level this year will be no problem at all.
On the third night, at the same auction venue, Cao Kun and Sophia attended together.
This time, Cao Kun didn't use Sophia's stylist.
After all, he's practically a top-tier male star now, so he naturally has his own styling team.
Unlike the last time he attended a charity gala, when he was still relatively unknown.
This time, he became the target of countless cameras.
Wherever he goes, he becomes the center of attention.
Throughout the event, people kept approaching him to chat and offering him their business cards.
Some bold women brazenly looked him up and down, and when they shook hands, they even hooked their fingers around his palm.
In autumn, they harvested a whole basketful of spinach.
"Master Cao Kun, how does this feel?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Cao Kun turned his head and saw that Little Li and Fat Wen, the big ship couple, had teamed up again.
"I'm still being harassed constantly," Leonardo DiCaprio lamented. "My palms are practically raw from being scratched."
Fei Wen pouted and said, "I can tell you're clearly enjoying yourself."
Leonardo DiCaprio quickly replied, "How could that be? It was true at first, but it got more and more uncomfortable later on. You know, I'm only interested in blonde, long-legged girls."
Fat Wen said regretfully, "You know it's impossible for us, Leo."
Leonardo DiCaprio flashed his signature wide-eyed expression: "I wasn't talking about you, Kate."
Fei Wen rolled his eyes: "You've exposed your shallowness."
Watching Leonardo DiCaprio and Victor Wen joke around, Cao Kun thought of the incident on a certain island.
According to that suspected list, Leonardo DiCaprio was indeed on it.
However, he didn't go there to patronize, but to provide service.
As for whether it's true or not, Cao Kun doesn't know yet.
"Master Cao Kun, you're not here for that antique mirror again, are you?"
Little Li suddenly asked Cao Kun.
Cao Kun: "You too?"
Little Li quickly shook his head: "I will never buy an antique mirror again in my life, and I will get rid of the mirrors in my house if I can avoid them."
It's obvious that he has developed a phobia of mirrors.
He asked curiously, "Master Cao Kun, may I ask how you dealt with that mirror from last time?"
Cao Kun said with a half-smile, "If you want it, I can give it back to you."
Little Li waved his hand repeatedly: "No need, no need."
Cao Kun said in a low voice, "Knowing too much about some things is not good for you."
"I understand," Little Li quickly replied, "I won't ask again."
After chatting for a few minutes, Little Li and Fatty Wen followed a few people to the side.
Cao Kun asked Sophia, "What is the surprise you mentioned?"
Sofia smiled and said, "You'll find out after the party."
The filming process for the gala was the same as last time, and Cao Kun showed little interest in most of it.
"The next item to be auctioned is a mask donated by Mr. Cao Kun... uh, please look at the big screen."
On the big screen, an extremely bizarre mask appeared.
The atmosphere changed instantly upon seeing the mask.
The host's introduction also lacked some of the previous enthusiasm.
