Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Powerful Body Technique, Ghost Shadow Mysterious Step!

Chu Xiu eagerly opened the character panel.

[Name]Chu Xiu

[Tier]Mortal Tier Level 6 (66/1200)

[Constitution]9.03

[Spirit]7.24

[Energy Level]22.19

[Others]Omitted

All attributes have significantly increased again!

With Constitution reaching 9.0, Chu Xiu felt like a little superman. His immense Power could even overturn a small car!

Beyond the obvious Power, both his reaction Speed and Perception Ability reached levels unimaginable to ordinary people. Combined with 7.24 Spirit, he could now clearly see the flight path of a mosquito ten meters away and catch an arrow shot from ten meters away with his bare hands!

With as high as 22 Energy Level, he also had ample Energy to use Magic.

Besides that, there was the inheritance he always thought about.

With a thought, a panel appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

[New Magic Unlocked]

[Ghost Shadow Mysterious Step]

[Tier: Mortal]

[Quality: Superior]

[Description: Condense Mana at your feet, providing instantaneous acceleration burst.]

[Evaluation: In the Demon Sect, mastering an excellent escape Skill is more important than battle.]

[This Magic is derived from a Mortal Tier Martial Technique, improved by a Saint Sect elder, and is now one of the three entry-level Body Techniques for Saint Sect disciples.]

[After three months of Beginner practice, one can scale walls and walk across water. Once skilled, it further allows turning mid-air and performing a double jump on flat ground, greatly enhancing a Cultivator’s flexibility.]

[However, please note that this Magic consumes a lot of Mana and is only suitable for short explosive evasion, not for long-distance pursuit.]

”A Body Technique, at last!”

At the moment he saw the inheritance, Chu Xiu’s eyes brightened instantly!

This is exactly what he needed right now!

With a means of escape, he could daringly explore nights or venture into underground adventures!

”Indeed, my previous decision was correct.”

After expressing his admiration, Chu Xiu quickly checked the specific attributes of Mist Step.

[Mist Step]

[Skill Level: Beginner (1/200)]

[Release Consumption: 0.5-1.5 (increases with Charging Time)]

[Charging Time: 0.4s-0.8s]

[Power: 500J-1500J]

[Duration: 0.5-1.0s]

[Cooldown Time: 0.6s]

Mist Step’s panel was somewhat complex, but after some experimentation, Chu Xiu quickly figured out its meaning.

Firstly, to activate Mist Step, Energy needs to be accumulated at the feet, lasting 0.4s to 0.8s. The longer the accumulation, the more Mana it consumes, but the stronger the Effect.

Then, at the moment of activation, a great force is unleashed, with total energy ranging from 500 to 1500 joules released from 0.5 to 1.0 second, depending on the Charging Time.

”Five hundred joules, that is 500 newton*meters, equivalent to the energy required to throw a 50 kg person one meter into the air, also equal to the muzzle energy of an ordinary handgun.”

”A healthy adult male, about 70 kg with regular exercise habits, jumps 30 to 40 cm upward, equating 210 to 280 joules of energy, meaning Mist Step can provide about twice that burst energy!”

Chu Xiu stroked his chin, calculating in his mind.

This value is not low. Imagine each stride during a run could add twice the Energy of both feet jumping simultaneously; it’s terrifying! Give this Skill to a triple jumper, and jumping 30 meters would be effortless!

And this is with minimal Energy Storage, capable of reaching up to 1500 joules, six times the energy of an ordinary person’s full jump!

However... For Chu Xiu, with a Constitution as high as 9.0, this is somewhat underwhelming.

Moreover, the Cooldown Time and Charging Time are a bit long.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

”All those Cause and Effect Points I saved with so much effort, weren’t they meant for this moment?”

”Boost it!”

Without hesitation, Chu Xiu directly poured a large number of Cause and Effect Points into Mist Step!

Instantly, the Skill Level of Mist Step began to soar!

[Consume 17 Cause and Effect Points, Mist Step Skill Level upgraded to Entry!]

[Consume 56 Cause and Effect Points, Mist Step Skill Level upgraded to Skilled!]

[Consume 189 Cause and Effect Points, Mist Step Skill Level upgraded to Proficient!]

As three notification sounds rang in succession, Chu Xiu felt a massive influx of memory into his mind, and his body seemed to have practiced Mist Step hundreds of times. A mere thought could effortlessly mobilize Mana and alter his form.

He reopened the panel, and Mist Step’s attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes!

[Mist Step]

[Skill Level: Proficient (1/200)]

[Release Consumption: 0.2-2.0 (increases with Charging Time)]

[Charging Time: 0.2s-0.6s]

[Power: 950J-9500J]

[Duration: 0.2-0.8s]

[Cooldown Time: 0.2s]

Upon reaching Proficient, the attributes of Mist Step underwent a qualitative change!

It now only takes a mere 0.2 seconds to unleash power, and the Cooldown Time for the next activation dropped to 0.2 seconds!

That means, under extreme conditions, Chu Xiu could use Mist Step five times within two seconds! Five consecutive shifts in shape within two seconds! This dramatically enhanced his Body Technique flexibility to an astonishing degree!

With maximum Energy Storage, it could even unleash a whopping 9500 joules of energy, capable of sending a grown man soaring over ten meters into the air!

”With Mist Step, both my combat and escape abilities will greatly improve!”

Chu Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

”Now, I have the confidence to start exploring the underground regions.”

”The trial ends tomorrow. By the time we return, Shen Zhuo and the other rich second-generation heirs will definitely bring substantial family support.”

”So, before leaving, I must harvest all this experience! Leave nothing for them!”

Chu Xiu silently formulated his next action plan.

The reason Chu Xiu could endure leveling up slowly was largely because he knew that although his hunting efficiency had dropped, others would undoubtedly suffer even more. They couldn’t possibly consume this wave of experience before him.

Now, having almost reached the peak of short-term strength, there’s no need for cautious actions any longer.

If there was anything regretful, it would be the progress of the Bloodthirsty Heart Refining Technique was too slow due to the lack of Essence of Life, preventing its completion.

Still, he had enough confidence to challenge more dangerous regions!

Chu Xiu planned to buy some meat from Shen Zhuo, rest a while to restore Physical Strength, and, once in top condition, waste no time in setting off immediately.

With a determined mind, Chu Xiu walked toward the stronghold. However, as he approached, he vaguely heard voices discussing, seemingly mentioning his name.

This stirred a thought in Chu Xiu’s mind.

After a brief estimation, he stretched out his hand, summoning a Yin Ghost in its Soul Body form.

Meanwhile, inside the room where people gathered, Wang Long’s loud voice rang out:

”Captain, it’s time to raise the meat prices for Chu Xiu!”

”He’s an outsider, leaving us the hard work of finding food while he levels up in the meantime. How is that fair?”

”Trust me, Captain. Without food, Chu Xiu will definitely come begging us!”
