Chapter 21: Become a tenth-order wandering soul, a new degree of mission
After the aftermath of the explosion, the barrier of light shield had been shattered, but none of the three Ailans were harmed.
One of the spiritual priests quickly healed Ailan.
"Lord Alan, are you okay?"
Ai Lan sat up, closed his eyes slightly and said, "I'm fine! Hurry and heal!"
The two of them discovered that Felai, who was with Aylan, was missing. Could it be that he had died in the battle?
If so, Ailan should be feeling very uncomfortable now.
There have been rumors in the church that Felay and Aylan have an unusual relationship, although it has never been confirmed.
Every time Aylan appears, there is always Feilai beside him.
"Lord Ailan, let's go back to Biyan City first. The support team won't arrive until early in the morning."
"Yes, Master Ailan's safety is important!"
Ailan's injuries had almost recovered. She stood up and said, "No! Follow me to hunt down that undead spirit!"
For the death of Feilai, Aylan must take revenge and must not let that undead spirit go!
"Lord Ailan, please forgive me, the leader has ordered us to take you back!"
"Kill that undead spirit, and I will go back naturally!" Ailan was about to leave, but was stopped by two priests.
"I'm sorry, but I obey!"
"Go away!!" Ailan finally collapsed, with tears of sadness in his eyes.
In the end, Ailan was forcibly taken back by these two priests.
Jiang Kui was flying like crazy at this time, stopping from time to time to possess the monster.
After using the system to confirm that the enemy had not caught up, he found a place to hide with peace of mind.
'I didn't expect that woman to have a life-saving magic weapon, otherwise I would have stabbed her to death!'
Jiang Kui was very unwilling and missed 200 soul points in vain.
The appearance of the two Spiritual Priests just now showed that the other party had sent support.
It is unwise to continue to stay near Biyan City, so Jiang Kui can only enter the Kingdom of Uland.
"I hope there won't be a branch of Yuming Church in Wuland."
After a night of wandering, Jiang Kui finally found a few magical beasts that were at the ninth level of the spirit world and killed them.
He was successfully promoted to the tenth level of Wandering Soul, but what happened next left Jiang Kui confused.
[Promotion is locked, you cannot continue to improve your cultivation level before completing the degree task. 】
‘System, what do you mean?!’ Jiang Kui was furious.
[Master, you do not need to obtain soul points for the last level of each realm, you only need to complete the designated leveling tasks. 】
'Then please release it to me quickly, I can't stay as a wandering soul forever!'
[The degree task needs to be triggered and cannot be released.]
"..."
Damn it, uncle, it’s all big and big, where do you want me to trigger it!
Although I can no longer practice, I can still use my resentment points.
Including the 900 resentment points he just obtained, Jiang Kui now has a total of 65,600 resentment points.
It took 3600 to upgrade all summoned spirits and bone-eating guns to level ten.
Although it is still unclear how the clergy tracked him, it should have something to do with the death energy.
Fortunately, the ability to hide the death energy can now hide 90% of the death energy as long as it is attached to the body, making it basically difficult to detect.
After the battle just now, Jiang Kui discovered his shortcoming, which was that his advantage in close combat was basically zero.
When the opponent can see him, Jiang Kui loses all melee advantages and can only rely on long-range attacks.
In order to balance his strength, Jiang Kui chose to exchange two melee martial arts.
[Martial skill—Netherworld Ghost Claw]: 20,000 resentment value
[Martial Skill—Lightless Continuous Cut]: 25,000 Resentment Value
The exchange list for martial arts is pitifully short and horribly expensive, with only ten in total. The two above are the only ones that Jiang Kui can currently afford.
Jiang Kui asked the system, but the system's answer was still 'no comment'.
After redeeming it, he tried it twice, only to find that the martial arts could not produce physical damage!
Isn’t his resentment worth it?
[Master, melee martial arts must be possessed by the body to be used.]
Damn it, this is different from what I thought! What a scam!
Jiang Kui wandered aimlessly all night, until the sun came up and he still didn't trigger the degree quest.
At this time, he had entered the territory of the Kingdom of Uland and came to the forest near the main city of a large princess.
Jiang Kui was hiding in a rock crevice to enjoy the cool air, but he unexpectedly encountered a "murder case".
"Howard! You are dead today!"
A young man wearing black leather armor and holding a long sword said ferociously.
A young man named Howard was surrounded by five people.
Howard put on his copper and iron gloves and said with anger in his eyes: "You guys, do you think you can kill me!?"
"Hehe, of course I can't kill you normally, but you have drunk the poisonous wine and your soul power has been banned!"
Howard was able to use his soul power, but he really couldn't use it!
Minutes later, Howard was brutally quartered and buried on the spot.
【bell!】
【Degree task detected, do you want to accept it?】
"Yes, yes! Where?"
[Transformation Mission]: Possess the body of Howard, help Howard get revenge and find the mastermind behind it and kill him.
"Take me to his body quickly!" As soon as Jiang Kui arrived at his destination, he found traces of several newly buried holes on the ground.
'I'll go! This poor guy was cut into pieces? Why am I possessed?'
[Please ask the owner to solve it by himself]
"..."
Jiang Kui began to look through the exchange list and found a skill called 'Restoration of Broken Limbs'.
It's not expensive, it only costs 7,000 resentment points, but it costs 7,000 for no reason, so Jiang Kui still feels like he's at a loss.
The restoration of severed limbs has no practical effect on him at all. He is a ghost, and his soul will recover automatically.
After Jiang Kui exchanged his skills, he released a ghoul warrior and let him dig out the pieces of Howard's body.
Then, the severed limbs were used to restore Howard's body to its entire body, and then it was directly attached to his body.
"Who are you!?"
The general was shocked and forgot that Howard's ghost was still inside his body.
'Do you want to swallow him?'
[Master, Howard’s wandering soul must be preserved.]
It's really troublesome. Jiang Kui directly took Howard's wandering soul into the inner space. Anyway, he was only at the ninth level of wandering soul.
Now that I am exposed to the sun, I just feel a slight burning sensation, just like the feeling of having a barbecue in summer.
It seems that the higher your cultivation level, the less afraid you are of the sun.
In order to understand the mission information, Jiang Kui began to question Howard in the inner space.
Howard was very reluctant to learn that he was dead. Now that General Kui is willing to help him take revenge, of course he can't ask for more.
It turns out that Howard is a student of the 'Kaia Academy'. He has extremely high qualifications and usually does not offend anyone.
Howard also didn't expect that he would be betrayed by several of his friends.
In order to find out the situation, Jiang Kui must go to Kaia Academy in person.
Following Howard's instructions, it took Jiang Kui more than an hour to arrive at the 'Main City of County Kaia'.
This main city has a population of four to five million. It is the capital city of Kaia County, and the princess lives here.
Kaia Academy is inside, one of the top academies in the Kingdom of Uland.
