Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Class Bonus

”Finally cleared it.”

As the sound signifying the end of the trial rang out, Chu Xiu let out a long breath, his tense nerves completely relaxed.

Even with his Spirit far surpassing ordinary people, after such a long period of intense combat, he felt a deep-seated fatigue.

Not only did he have to remain unharmed in the high-speed fight, but he also had to constantly prevent the opponent from touching him, which undoubtedly tested his brain’s reaction and calculation ability to the limit.

But fortunately, the final outcome was good.

Upon seeing the panel notification, all of Chu Xiu’s fatigue transformed into delight!

After defeating the Pain Incarnation, task contribution points directly shot up by 1800! Nearly three times that of Great Elder Sihuo!

”I guess it was a blessing in disguise. Due to the interference of the mole, I was pushed to fight my way through hardcore, racking up a ton of task contribution points.”

For an ordinary person to clear a Warrior Tier trial, gaining 100 task contribution points would be impressive enough for a high rating.

But Chu Xiu’s task contribution points this time nearly reached three thousand!!!

Considering this trial’s high difficulty, Chu Xiu couldn’t imagine how abundant his final reward would be!

”But what’s up with this Abyss notoriety?”

Focusing on the last part, a flash of confusion crossed Chu Xiu’s eyes.

He was sure this wasn’t something every trial passer would have. At least, he had never come across anyone mentioning it while preparing his data before entering the trial.

”Is it because I beat up the God of Pain, who then went back to complain to other Evil Gods?”

”It seems like a rare thing, just not sure what it’s good for.”

”Speaking of which, during the fight earlier, that guy seemed to mention some weird terms like ’Outer Realm Demon’ and ’Tier’.”

Chu Xiu felt like he might have stumbled upon some secret of the Abyss.

At that moment, a notification sounded in his ear:

[Trial has ended, Trial Taker is free to leave.]

[Reward settlement will be distributed after returning to Awakening Space.]

With the notification sounding in his ear, Chu Xiu felt he had established some connection with this world. He knew this meant the [Anchor Point] was set up. After that, Chu Xiu could freely enter and exit this world fragment, and he could challenge dungeons formed from the echoes of this world’s past.

Simultaneously, excited cheers came from afar.

The surviving Trial Takers, like monkeys in heat, climbed onto the rooftops shouting and yelling, even a seemingly composed big brother lost control and covered his face, crying.

Although they didn’t have much task contribution, the immense joy of surviving the ordeal made them even more excited than Chu Xiu!

”Chen Ce!”

Jiang Xue excitedly ran over from afar, leaping like a fawn: ”We survived! We survived!”

She was jumping up and down, constantly chattering:

”Is that pair of hands your Talent? It’s really powerful! I’ve never seen a Talent with such power!”

”And what’s that bone thing? Is it Legendary Quality Equipment or something?”

”You must have an impressive background, right? Are you a disciple of some Celestial King? King of Longevity? Martial Extreme King?”

She chirped away like a sparrow. Chu Xiu knew this state, when someone is in a highly excited mood, they would ramble without thinking, as if drunk. Chu Xiu even suspected she didn’t know what she was saying.

He didn’t answer Jiang Xue but turned to her seriously: ”Where is my reward?”

”Huh?” Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, then realized, ”Ah, yes! The reward, as long as you come to [Dongfu]...”

”I want it now.” Chu Xiu interrupted her.

”N-now?” Jiang Xue was choked up, her voice stammering, and her joyful expression became somewhat stiff.

Chu Xiu nodded: ”I have no plans to cross paths with you again in the short term. No one can predict the future, so it’s fine for me to advance a part of the reward, right?”

”No problem.” Jiang Xue nodded in a daze.

”So, what good stuff do you have on you?” Chu Xiu asked.

Jiang Xue stood there, torn for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Chu Xiu with a resentful glance: ”The most valuable Artifact on me has already been taken by you... isn’t that enough?”

”Not enough, that was the reward for saving your life, but didn’t I also help you clear the trial?” Chu Xiu said confidently.

Jiang Xue went silent.

She now regretted coming to find Chu Xiu. In hindsight, she should have left directly.

For instance ——

Several others who initially wanted to come over to celebrate and perhaps make friends with Chu Xiu, upon hearing the conversation between the two, quietly withdrew without a sound.

”Don’t think about running.” Chu Xiu, seeing through her thoughts, immediately warned.

Now Jiang Xue felt like crying but had no tears.

But she was likely a true heiress. Only after a moment’s hesitation, she took out a blue necklace and handed it over.

Chu Xiu took a look. It was a piece of [Perfect] Quality Equipment called [Lake Shelter], which automatically charged and generated a shield to block three attacks.

”Not bad.”

Chu Xiu happily put it away. [Perfect] Quality was a hurdle; there were quite a few [Treasure] Quality pieces of Equipment, and those seasoned dungeon-running teams could generally equip each member with one or two after grinding for over a decade.

Of course, there weren’t many teams that could grind for over a decade without incident. In this round of Awakening Trials, only a few B Grade and above [Treasure] Equipment appeared.

As for [Perfect] Quality, it’s even rarer and can’t be obtained through grinding, only through challenging bosses or achieving high scores in tasks.

Unfortunately, this is just Mortal Tier Perfect Equipment, its value indeed falls short compared to the escape Artifact.

Chu Xiu looked at Jiang Xue, ”Is there anything else?”

Jiang Xue: ”...”

She silently tried to distance herself, but was grabbed by Chu Xiu.

Under Chu Xiu’s smiling gaze, Jiang Xue could only reluctantly pull out the Equipment from herself one by one.

This little girl still had a pair of Speed Boots of Legendary Quality, which provided a decent speed boost, making Chu Xiu quite satisfied.

In fact, he had no intention of seeking out Jiang Xue, as he didn’t understand her well and felt there could be too many potential troubles.

Even if she had no ill intentions towards him, her identity and status themselves would be a bother.

So it’s best to reap the benefits as early as possible.

Finally, under Jiang Xue’s resentful gaze, Chu Xiu sincerely smiled and waved goodbye to her.

After Jiang Xue disappeared completely, Chu Xiu was the only one left in this fragmented world piece.

He was not in a hurry to leave, and the reason was quite obvious.

”All these corpses on the ground are valuable resources!”

Although all of Chu Xiu’s Equipment was fully enhanced, and it seemed there was nothing that needed corpses anymore.

But he didn’t believe that after the Warrior Tier, no new inheritance would be unlocked!

”Finally reached the Warrior Tier.”

Chu Xiu showed a subtle smile, lightly clenched his fist, feeling a force far more powerful than before surging forth! Chu Xiu now felt like he could crush an elephant’s skull with a casual punch! His explosive speed could surpass a cheetah!

[Divine Techniques]Nether Demon Eyes·First Stage, Celestial Demon Hand First Layer

[Traits]Tough Skin (Fully Integrated)

Compared to before the upgrade, all three-dimensional Attributes have improved tremendously! The average increase is over fifty percent!

Moreover, the Trait Tough Skin has fully integrated!

Full integration means the Alienation effect is eliminated. Generally speaking, after completing the Life Essence Upgrade upon ascending in Tier, if the Alienation deviation is small, it is possible to eliminate the Alienation, which conveniently saves Chu Xiu the effort to cleanse it.

Apart from this, what caught Chu Xiu’s attention the most was that after his ascension, he gained a brand new Class and Class Bonus!

”Saint Sect Servant Disciple...even at Warrior Tier I didn’t expect to still be just a servant?”

”And Warrior Tier actually only corresponds to the mid-late stage of Qi Refining.”

Chu Xiu felt a bit numb, he thought he was almost a superhero, but didn’t expect to be still a minor character in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

However, the Class Bonus surprised him greatly, with an extra 3.0/hour Energy Recovery Speed, drastically increasing his Mana Recovery Speed, which alone is equivalent to three Energy Rings.

The subsequent Power and Cultivation Speed bonus for Mortal Tier Skills delighted him even further.

It means the skills he now masters can still prove useful at the Warrior Tier, not being quickly discarded. For example, his Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand’s Power has surged to 120, incredibly terrifying! It’s no problem to topple a truck with a single punch!

Moreover, the Cause and Effect Points needed for his subsequent Cultivation investments have reduced significantly.

As for other Skills, he is undoubtedly going to continue Cultivating the Celestial Demon Hand, while Chu Xiu is also considering raising the Skill Level of Mysterious Footwork by one more level for greater maneuverability in combat.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that...

No better inheritance has been unlocked!

Thinking of this, even someone as composed as Chu Xiu couldn’t help but show an excited expression.

He was finally about to access the Warrior Tier inheritances!

He was incredibly looking forward to seeing what surprises the Warrior Tier inheritance would bring him!

Focusing his mind, line by line of text appeared before Chu Xiu’s eyes.

[Congratulations on officially passing the Saint Sect’s trial and becoming a Servant Disciple.]

[Even a Servant Disciple’s life is a life, the Saint Sect treats all disciples with the generosity and selflessness of parents.]

[From now on, you will officially access the advanced inheritances of the Saint Sect.]

[However, the path of the Demon Cultivator is all-encompassing, with Demon Techniques and Evil Techniques as numerous as the stars in the sky, even the elders of the Saint Sect cannot completely master them.]

[Therefore, you need to choose one of the three mainstream paths as your primary development route at this stage.]

[But don’t worry, you can still unlock and learn the inheritances of the other paths by consuming Cause and Effect Points.]

As the text faded, three options appeared before Chu Xiu’s eyes.

[Supreme Demon Lord], [Innate Divine Demon], [Treasure Demon Sovereign]
