Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

So...

[Attribute Points: 117→47.]

[Primordial Body Double Zero Sword [Middle Stage of Wood Level/Initial Understanding]→Primordial Body Double Zero Sword [High-level of Wood Realm/Initial Understanding].]

The sound of bones grinding against bones was drowned by Fang Yu’s rapid footsteps. Crackling noises constantly resounded faintly within his body.

The strength of his bones, the overall quality of his physique, all improved by a notch.

Now, during the battle between the two Hall Masters, he could withstand more damage and deliver higher output.

However, thinking about Jinfang Zai after demonization, Fang Yu still felt a bit unsettled.

The power of a Demon Martial Artist exceeding the Wood Realm Peak, just how strong it is, Fang Yu wasn’t sure, but he could clearly feel from actual confrontation that Jinfang Zai’s strength surpassed Xing Xueman’s.

”If exchanging blood for damage, there should be a chance to take him down.”

”But the lost blood might exceed more than half. If they add some lethal moves I can’t handle...”

Indeed, a master of Hall Master level is still somewhat tricky.

In the end, he was still at the Thousand Blood Warrior level, far from being on the same level as them.

Glancing at the remaining attribute points, Fang Yu pondered for a moment and kept them.

Fang Yu could have directly added them to the Spirit attribute points to suppress demonization, but he didn’t do so.

High demonization, undoubtedly accompanied by various risks, but higher demonization can greatly enhance Tree Opening’s damage, self-recovery ability, and overall strength, presenting both advantages and disadvantages.

The current tense situation required Fang Yu to possess formidable strength, so there was no need to suppress demonization for now.

Even though it would let demonization passively increase, immediate combat strength was more needed now, so it had to be this way for now.

Returning to the room, Fang Yu noticed that the room was already piled with bags and parcels; Ding Hui and Lu Qiaochun were quite efficient, so Fang Yu immediately joined in, busying themselves together.

While packing, Fang Yu was thinking about ways to enhance the strength of believers.

Regarding Demon Martial Artists, Fang Yu had fully grasped it, even counting as a seasoned Demon Martial Artist.

But on the side of believers, Fang Yu knew too little.

Spirit Shield was the only common method Fang Yu currently possessed for believers.

However, against Fang Yu’s enemies, the Spirit Shield seemed inadequate.

This puzzled Fang Yu; his spiritual power was clearly not low, yet compared to Monk Quan Heng, the strength was greatly lacking.

It’s known that Monk Quan Heng normally fought using the Spirit Shield, displaying nearly equal strength to his own.

Could it truly be an issue with the Spirit?

Is the Spirit residing within Monk Quan Heng’s body much stronger than mine...

Even though Second Sister doesn’t seem very strong... but at least she absorbed abilities from other Spirits, possessing the ’Repeat’ spiritual power.

According to Ding Hui, that’s equivalent to completing a Spirit Swapping operation! Although even if it’s Spirit Swapping, it was just the first swap, so the strength enhancement might be limited?

Or, did this operation only inherit abilities but the Bloodline Spirit itself showed no improvement...

Fang Yu scratched his head, feeling this might be a defect of the Bloodline Spirit, or even considered Ding Hui’s oversight?

Although even he had little understanding of believers, it’s normal for Ding Hui, who wasn’t even a believer, to have some omissions in filling the Bloodline Spirit gap.

Fortunately, besides Spirit Swapping, Monk Quan Heng taught a few other ways to enhance believers’ strengths; however, these methods somewhat made Fang Yu feel a bit off.

Because Monk Quan Heng’s usual practice actually involved... chanting scriptures.

Devoutly worshipping Buddha, chanting Buddhist scriptures, with sincerity, could enhance the Spirit’s ability.

Simply put, chanting scriptures could alleviate the increase in erosion level, bolstering a believer’s strength.

For instance, using a Spirit Shield daily, the erosion level might increase by 5%, but by chanting scriptures and devoutly worshipping Buddha daily, the next usage might only see a 3% increase in erosion level.

This was just an example but indeed was said by Monk Quan Heng himself; only when using the Spirit’s power, the increase in erosion level was never this quick, always rising slowly with a solid feel, unlike his own volatile nature...

”Perhaps it’s due to different constitutions, as I was guided by my master in practice, wholeheartedly devoted to Buddha, thus never faced any difficulties.”

Monk Quan Heng’s genius left Fang Yu feeling helpless; perhaps this marked the distinction between genius and ordinary people?

”Do I also need to chant scriptures and worship Buddha daily?”

Having finished packing the last item, Fang Yu gazed at the parcel in a slight daze.

Reciting scriptures and worshipping Buddha wasn’t impossible for him, just being genuinely sincere about it seemed rather challenging.

Anyway, it’s still a method Fang Yu planned to try when given a chance; it was certainly better than blindly pondering like a headless fly.

”Master, Yu Ji is also back; I’ve made him wait outside the Forest Snake Gang.”

Lu Qiaochun whispered from behind Fang Yu.

”Does she think I can’t hear her? And who is this Yu Ji?”

Ding Hui’s displeased voice resonated directly in Fang Yu’s mind, even though Ding Hui was still turned away, packing things on the other side of the room!

”From now on, when there’s anything, don’t hide it from the madam. We should first leave the Forest Snake Gang and head to a nearby Rebel Army base. Which base do you think is more suitable—more concealed and flexible?”

Lu Qiaochun, hearing this, first bowed in apology, then reviewed several nearby bases in her mind before speaking.

”Master, for concealment and flexibility combined, I think the base near the Martial Forge would be relatively better.”

”Let’s go with that; arrange two carts and we’ll head out immediately.”

”Yes!”

Lu Qiaochun went out to make preparations, while Fang Yu addressed Ding Hui: ”Yu Ji is also with the Rebel Army; he packed along with Lu Qiaochun. Although he’s a bit face-blind, he’s more reliable than Lu Qiaochun.”

Ding Hui nodded, indicating she heard that.

However, she was unfamiliar with the Rebel Army, so she entrusted everything to Fang Yu’s arrangements.

The two exited the door, leaving the Forest Snake Gang, soon joining Lu Qiaochun and Yu Ji with the prepared carts, disappearing into the night.

...

Foolish Underworld.

”...”

The corpse covered with a white cloth was placed in the center of the hall.

Jinfang Zai stood beside the corpse, his feelings tense and uneasy.

To his and the corpse’s sides were six large seats on each side.

Now, aside from the two empty seats, all were occupied.

This was a rare gathering of the Hall Masters at the Foolish Underworld.

”Such audacity, daring to kill even the Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld; is there anyone those Rebel Army dogs would shy away from killing?”

An irritable elderly man, seated second to the right, puffed out his beard and glared.

”Jinfang Zai, with you there, how could Xing Xueman die; shouldn’t this be impossible? Perhaps you haven’t told the truth; maybe it was the Deputy Commander of the Rebel Army who killed her and had nothing to do with the Demon Slayer Hero?”

A sinister voice echoed from the second seat on the left, revealing a hauntingly pale face.

”Killers, pay with their lives.”

The person with an iron mask on the first seat to the left coldly stated.

”Stop arguing; wait for the arrival of Lord of Mansion and heed his instructions. We’ve always restrained ourselves, avoiding a large-scale conflict with the Rebel Army to prevent devastation in Thunder City... But now, since the Rebel Army crossed the line, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

A steady voice from the first seat to the right coldly stated.

The six Hall Masters of Foolish Underworld, each had different positions and duties.

A city as large as Thunder City had numerous affairs.

When busy, they might not see each other for months.

But now, all were urgently summoned back, halting all tasks, returning directly to the Foolish Underworld, resulting in this meeting.

Jinfang Zai, who had been silent, now slowly raised his head, looking at everyone.

”We must avenge Xing Xueman! The dignity of the Foolish Underworld will not be trampled by anyone!”
