Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 53 Soaring Strength
The next day, the temporary headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"If you want to turn on stripes in a very short time, you must understand what the nature of stripes is."

In the training ground, Xin Lailai looked at Zhu who was sweating profusely, with his skin unnaturally red, and the blood vessels on his arms and forehead severely bulging. He sat on the beam and said in a cold voice:

"Spots are not a special ability that suddenly awakens, but a state after breaking the limit. In this state, the activity level of your cell energy will reach an abnormally high state, allowing the breathing method to provide a beneficial effect on your body. raised dramatically."

Xin Lailai casually used a magic chip to block the attack of Snake Pillar from behind. His wrist turned into a whip-like black shadow and followed the opponent's arm to directly wrap around Snake Pillar's neck, and threw the opponent heavily to the ground.

Bang!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Snake Zhu's mouth, but as if he couldn't feel the pain at all, he stood up from the ground and rushed towards Xin Lailai again.

"To put it simply, turning on the stripe state will not enhance the basic quality of your body. Rather, because the gain brought by the breathing method has been greatly enhanced, the load on your body has been greatly increased."

Xin Lailai's body turned into a black shadow, flying like ink along the interlaced slashes, like a ghost, unable to be caught at all.

"Humans who turn on stripes generally live no more than 25 years old for this reason. The so-called stripes are, in the final analysis, a state in which one burns one's life in exchange for a short-term improvement in strength."

“Furthermore, because the highly active cell energy will spontaneously interfere with the nearby less active cell energy, just like a piece of hot steel will spontaneously transfer heat to the ice cube next to it, it will stay in the cells of the body for a long time. When you are near people with extremely active energy, the cellular energy in your body will spontaneously move towards an active state."

"This is why in an era, as long as there is one person who has turned on the markings, a large number of people who have turned on the markings will appear one after another."

Cut, change, and triple on the water surface!

With the high neural reflex speed bonus brought by the transparent world, the three slashes hit the bodies of the three people attacking him almost indiscriminately.

boom!
Because it was slashed with the back of the sword, the water column, sound column, and flame column were only thrown away instead of being cut in half.

"And if you want to quickly increase the activity of cellular energy to the critical point where markings can be turned on, the easiest way is to push your body to the limit."

"Not only simple muscle fatigue, but also toxins that can stimulate the body's immunity and drugs that increase the excitability of the nervous system... Only by keeping every cell in your body in an extremely active state at all times can you achieve success in the shortest possible time. Increase the activity of cellular energy."

Xin Lailai's indifferent voice echoed in the training ground. Looking at the people in front of him whose physical strength and endurance were quickly approaching the limit under the influence of toxins, he said in a cold tone:

"Continue, as long as you are not dead, even if you only have one breath left, you must stand up for me."

……

That night.

[The stripe status is turned on]

[[Water Breathing] bonus effect has been greatly improved]

……

[Water Breathing (not upgradeable/passive)]

Skill effects: Strength +7, agility +8, physical strength +8, cell energy recovery speed +5 points/minute, the body's self-healing ability is significantly improved, and mental concentration is greatly improved.

*Warning: This skill will put a huge load on the body, and this load will weaken as the basic physical fitness increases.

……

【…

Power: 16
Agility: 16
Stamina: 16
Intelligence: 11
...]

……

In the room, Xin Lailai was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the information in front of him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After training for a whole day with Hashira of the Demon Slayer Squad, he didn't expect that he would be the first one to activate his markings in the end.

"The total attribute bonus of up to 15 points... Although it is something obtained by overdrafting life, it is really terrifying for the improvement of strength."

Xin Lailai looked at the new skill introduction. Before this, the bonuses of water breathing were still +2 to strength, +3 to agility, and +3 to physical strength, for a total of 8 points of total attribute bonus.

You must know that normally, without turning on the markings, the total bonus limit of the breathing method is only 10 points. At the same time, only Yanzhu Mingyu Xingming is the only one in the Demon Slayer Squad who has reached this limit.

And judging from the fact that the total amount of attribute improvement after turning on the stripes is exactly the same as that of Rock Pillar, the bonus provided by the stripes is not a fixed value, but a fixed percentage increase based on its current attributes.

In other words, whether it is 10 points of strength or 15 points of strength, the increase after turning on the stripes is fixed at 5 points.

By the way, after the body's basic attributes returned to an average of 5 points, Xin Lailai discovered that the attribute deduction penalty in the paradise was actually just deducting his own basic attributes, that is, after putting aside all passive attributes and equipment bonuses. Physical attributes.

As for the bonus brought by passiveness, it will be temporarily invalidated because the contractor's own basic attributes are too low. For example, when Xin Lailai's physical attributes were only 2 points, his physical strength was not enough to complete a full concentration. Breathing, so the bonus of water breathing directly becomes 0 points.

But as his physical attributes continued to recover, the bonus provided by water breathing also recovered bit by bit, and in the end there was even a breakthrough, with an additional physical attribute bonus of 1 point.

To put it simply, taking the strength attribute as an example, his attributes can now be divided into these three parts:

6 (body base) + 7 (breathing method provided) + 3 (ghost blood provided) = 16 (total strength attribute)
"With the combination of breathing method and ghost blood, it may be possible to increase the attribute to around 20 points before the final moment arrives."

Xin Lailai looked at the lines of text in front of him, his eyes moving slightly.

Normally, it would be almost impossible to improve his physical fitness so much in such a short period of time, but with the existence of ghost blood, he could use some tricks.Before looking for the temporary headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, he had already tested it on the gangsters in the alleys he encountered on the road. If he simply ate ordinary people, the improvement effect of the ghost blood would be negligible.

According to Xin Lailai's estimate, with his current attributes, it would take almost a thousand ordinary people to increase his attribute value by 1 point, and as his attributes are provided, the demand for this amount will only increase.

After all, even the prostitute Taro, who is the sixth of the upper strings, has a strength attribute of only 15 points. Although ghost blood can be enhanced by eating people, the further you go, the more outrageous the number of people required for this enhancement becomes. .

What's more, this is reality, not a game, and he doesn't have Wuhan's ability to drain a person dry in an instant.

It takes just one sentence to improve a thousand ordinary people's attributes by one point, but when taken into account, even if he eats one meal an hour, 1 meals a day, it will take nearly 24 days to finish eating these 42 people. By that time , it’s been almost two weeks since his main mission ended.

Therefore, from the beginning, Xin Lailai had no intention of taking the quantitative route.

boom!
A bucket of blood was moved out of the storage space by Xin Lailai.

An inexplicable aroma accompanied by the alluring smell of blood began to linger in Xin Lailai's nose.

Compared to a thousand ordinary people, the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps providing 1L of blood every day is obviously the most appropriate choice.

Especially Feng Zhu, who is known as the top thin blood. The effect of 1L of blood produced by him is almost equivalent to that of three hundred ordinary people.

The only pity is that judging from the situation of the rock pillar, as long as you become a ghost, the properties of the blood in your body will change. Unless the ghost blood in the opponent's body is extracted, the changed ordinary blood will be fed to other ghosts. It has no other effect except to satisfy hunger.

"Gulu~Gulu~"

Xin Lai Lai grabbed the barrel and swallowed the super tonic mixed with the blood of the eight pillars, Tanjiro and a small amount of the Uyashiki clan in the barrel.

For a moment, stimulated by Feng Zhu's thin blood, all the cells in his body seemed to come alive, frantically absorbing the energy from the blood.

Huge heat radiated from Xin Lailai's body surface, and his skin turned red. Xin Lailai threw the empty barrel into the storage space, and then immediately sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and meditating. stand up.

[Transparent world has been opened]

[Entered forced calm state]

【Entered deep meditation state】

A cold warning tone sounded, but Xin Lailai completely ignored these unnecessary sounds. Now, his whole body had entered a wonderful state.

His eyes are obviously closed, but with himself as the center, everything within a radius of ten meters is clearly visible, including the internal structure of his own body: the flow of blood vessels, the beating of the heart, the contraction and relaxation of muscles...

Not only that, but in the scene he perceived, apart from flesh and blood, there was another thing, or two things - the mana and cellular energy flowing in his body!

Yes, perhaps because of deep meditation, Xin Lailai discovered this when he mastered the transparent world.

As long as he enters a deep state of meditation after opening the transparent world, he can directly 'see' his own blood and at the same time receive all the extraordinary energy in his body and within ten meters around him into his 'eyes'.

It was precisely because of this that he could say with such certainty what the nature of the markings was, because he had seen the answer 'with his own eyes'.

The next second, Xin Lailai had a thought and began to consciously guide the energy that started from his stomach, letting it spread throughout his body little by little along with the flow of his blood.

Time passed little by little, and when Xin Lailai opened his eyes again, it was already an hour later.

"call……"

He took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the personal interface in front of him:
……

[Strength: 17
Agility: 16
Physical strength: 16]

……

Xin Lailai looked at his professional skill bar. As expected, the strength bonus provided by ghost blood had changed from 3 points to 4 points.

well.

A glint flashed in Xin Lailai's eyes.

You know, this bucket of blood every night is just an appetizer.

The real big head is the moment when he transforms the pillars into ghosts. At that time, he doesn't need to care about the other party's life at all and can eat as much as he wants.

When he transformed the rock pillar into a ghost and sucked all the opponent's blood, his ghost blood bonus increased directly from an average of 2 points to 3 points.

Although it is unlikely that other people would have so many, if he ate them all, Xin Lailai would probably be able to bring him at least about 6 points of attribute value.

Coupled with the fact that the recovery speed of his basic physical attributes has been greatly accelerated after becoming a ghost, it is definitely not a delusion to increase the strength, body and agility to 20 points in the end.


　I originally planned to write [-] words, but halfway through I read the comments and straightened my blood pressure, and my train of thought suddenly stopped.

　　I'm quite speechless. It's clearly stated in the label and guide that it's a single female protagonist, but I couldn't just point in a few clicks and start blasting her. But because Qidian said in the blocking chapter this month that I can't scold others, I can only be criticized unilaterally. Later, he was banned. The more Mu De thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
