I Can See Experience Points

This pair of daggers had been a gift from the Food King.

They were said to be engraved with talismans exclusive to the netherworld, capable of slicing through iron like mud.

They were incredibly lethal against Extraordinary Individuals with powerful defenses.

But He Xiaotian was just too broken. The black-robed man, while fast, wasn’t skilled in close-quarters combat.

If he left an opening and was caught, a single hammer strike would be enough to send him to the afterlife.

Besides, who could be one hundred percent certain that the Food King’s daggers could even pierce He Xiaotian’s body?

And now, this guy who had infuriated him to the point of coughing up blood had his mind fall silent.

There was no need to be afraid; the black-robed man could attack to his heart’s content.

"Die!"

With a twisted mix of hatred and glee, he stabbed forward with both hands, his daggers a flurry of phantom images.

CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!

’What in the actual hell...’

A series of metallic clangs erupted, and a jarring, numbing sensation shot through his wrists.

’Is the mysterious X really human?’

’Is he some kind of monster in disguise?’

’Or does he have the blood of a demon?’

’Otherwise, how could a human body be this tough!’

Meanwhile, He Xiaotian, still inside the Illusion Technique, focused his mind on his Experience Points system.

[Experience Points: 108,000

Functions: Scan, Enhance

Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 0/6000+ (Minor Accomplishment: Spirit +5, Illusion Technique Resistance +5, Perception +5, Insight +5)]

’Add points!’

’It’s just an Illusion Technique, right?’

’As long as I have enough Experience Points, none of this really matters.’

The bar instantly filled to 6000/6000, and the words on the panel began to blur.

A moment later, new attributes appeared before his eyes.

[Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 0/18000+ (Practiced: Spirit +8, Illusion Technique Resistance +8, Perception +8, Insight +8)]

The four attributes boosted by the Cultivation Technique had each increased by 3 points.

’Not bad.’

’But why did the Experience Points needed for the next level suddenly triple?!’

"You despicable, lowly creature! Are you looking down on me?"

He Xiaotian glanced at the sphinx-like man with an unbothered expression, then calmly went back to allocating his points.

’If you were really all that, you would’ve killed me already.’

’Would you be standing there now, throwing a fit of impotent rage?’

He Xiaotian’s fearless demeanor only made the sphinx-like man even more furious.

The blatant "I’m looking down on you" expression in his eyes, in particular, made it impossible to suppress his rage.

"I will kill you!"

A giant stone arm smashed viciously into He Xiaotian’s skull.

"Knock it off!"

He Xiaotian raised his heavy hammer and casually swatted the man’s stone arm aside.

His posture was as if he were dealing with an unruly nephew.

"I..."

[Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 18000/18000 (Practiced) --> Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 0/34000+ (Integrated)]

He Xiaotian sucked in a sharp breath. ’Over thirty thousand?!’

’Are you kidding me? After fighting for my life all night, just how many Experience Points did I even get?’

’You’re asking for tens of thousands at every turn. Do you take me for a sucker?’

"Lowly creature, just stay trapped in this Illusion Technique. When I fully descend, I will make you into sashimi and savor it, dipped in your own blood."

The sphinx-like man, the Gluttonous King, had finally figured it out.

He Xiaotian had already realized he was merely caught in an Illusion Technique and was completely ignoring his roars and attacks.

So, he stopped roaring and instead glared hatefully at the brawny man with the giant hammer.

’Just you wait!’

’I’ll make you watch, alive, as I slice the flesh from your bones and devour you whole before you’re allowed to die!’

Ignoring the Gluttonous King’s malevolence, He Xiaotian grit his teeth and pressed the ’+’ icon.

[Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 34000/34000 (Integrated) --> Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 0/50000+ (Mastery)]

’Fi-fi-fi... Fifty thousand?!’

’Gan Liniang!’

’Did you plan this all along? To completely clean me out in one go?’

"*Sigh!* I still haven’t broken free from the Illusion Technique."

"Hmph! Don’t waste your energy, you lowly creature. How could you possibly break free from my Illusion Technique? Do you think my power is comparable to that inferior trick, the Dream Eye?"

For some reason, seeing the troubled look on He Xiaotian’s face made the sphinx-like man ecstatic.

How many years had it been since he’d felt this way back in the netherworld?

If He Xiaotian weren’t so infuriating, he might have even considered keeping his head around for company after eating him raw.

Hearing the words "lowly creature" and "inferior trick" repeated in his ear,

He Xiaotian grit his teeth and focused his mind on the ’+’ icon.

’Damned stone statue. Once I break free, you’re going to get what’s coming to you!’

[Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 50000/50000 (Mastery) --> Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter - 0/100,000 (Outstanding: Spirit +20, Illusion Technique Resistance +20, Perception +20, Insight +20, Special Attribute - Wisdom Eye +1.)]

He Xiaotian’s pupils contracted as a pinprick of golden light appeared within them.

"*Ugh!*"

With a muffled grunt, he felt as if his eyes were being constantly churned in a blender.

Torn apart and reassembled, over and over again.

If not for the huge boost to his Spiritual Power from upgrading the Secret Dream Observation Achievement Method - Dharma Eye Chapter,

he might not have been able to withstand the agony and would have cried out long ago.

After a long moment, he finally recovered.

Shaking the sweat from his brow, He Xiaotian raised his head and fixed his eyes on the sphinx-like man.

For some reason, the Gluttonous King’s asshole suddenly clenched.

"What’s with your eyes, you lowly creature?"

A speck of golden light now gleamed in each of his eyes.

They seemed to hold an infinite wisdom,

and the power to see through reality and shatter all falsehoods.

"I’ll destroy those eyes!"

The moment he spoke, the entire sacrificial hall shattered and inverted itself.

’I’m... hallucinating inside my own Illusion Technique?’

CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!

After breaking free from the Illusion Technique, He Xiaotian discovered the black-robed man, still hard at work.

"Why? Why? Why?"

With each stab at He Xiaotian, he would ask the question again, his voice tinged with madness.

’His eyes?’

’He’d love to attack them!’

Unfortunately, He Xiaotian’s eyes were shut tight, and that single layer of eyelid had become an impassable barrier.

Looking at the black-robed man, who was now questioning his own existence, his entire worldview shattered,

He Xiaotian silently raised his right arm, hoisting his heavy hammer.

’He wouldn’t dare make a sound to taunt him. He knew how fast the black-robed man was.’

"*Hm?!*"

But the black-robed man was clearly not deaf, nor was he blind.

Even though He Xiaotian’s movements were light, they still made a slight noise.

"Damned bastard!"

After roaring in anger, he was about to use his ability to escape the sacrificial hall.

But then, the unexpected happened.

A yellow paper Talisman had been slapped onto his back.

BOOM!!

He Xiaotian brought his iron hammer down with immense force, smashing it viciously onto the man’s head.

[Ding! You have killed the Dual Series Extraordinary Individual, Qilong. You have gained 15,000 Experience Points.]

After he successfully killed the black-robed man, a dark shadow materialized at the entrance of the sacrificial hall, resolving into the form of Captain Su.

"I wasn’t slacking."

He shot He Xiaotian a grin, then closed his eyes.
