One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

"Please forgive me, I don't have anything else to offer you."

Su Heng took out a teacup, poured boiling water into it, and pushed it toward Li Daoxuan.

"I'm old now, and drinking some plain boiled water is quite nice," Li Daoxuan commented with a smile as he looked at the steaming teacup on the table.

Su Heng stood at the window with his hands clasped behind his back, his voice drifting slowly, "What brings you to me?"

"Have you ever heard of the Sky Wolf Sect?" Instead of answering directly, Li Daoxuan asked in return.

Su Heng's brow furrowed slightly.

He had seen some related records in Xu Tong's notes.

"Sky Wolf Sect, it seems to be a subordinate organization of the Sky Demon Alliance. Although not large in number, each member is elite. They have committed many brutal massacres in Baihua County and the surrounding localities," Su Heng said calmly, recalling the related content from his memory.

"That is largely correct."

Li Daoxuan took a sip of the plain water and continued with a smile, "Do you know the origins of the Sky Wolf Sect?"

"I am not sure about that," Su Heng shook his head.

"Over five hundred years ago, before the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, there lived an uncivilized tribe called 'Ye' on this land of Baihua County."

Li Daoxuan stated indifferently, "Later, as the Great Zhou Dynasty expanded its territory, its military was invincible."

"Initially, there was the idea of peaceful coexistence between the two tribes. Unfortunately, due to the vast difference in their cultures, gradually, the Ye Clan disappeared from this land, replaced by the flourishing Baihua County."

Li Daoxuan's words might seem lighthearted,

But Su Heng could guess that within those brief sentences,

There must be hidden extensive massacres, targeted extermination, bloody atrocities, and more.

Every dynasty's expansion phase is inevitably accompanied by bloodshed, but all these occurred over five hundred years ago.

Even though Su Heng could guess some of the underlying truths, he wasn't greatly disturbed in his heart.

"So then..." Su Heng, playing with Song Yingchun's glowingstone dagger, asked curiously, "What does the Ye Clan have to do with the Sky Wolf Sect?"

"The Ye Clan was not completely annihilated in the wars of the past; some of the tribespeople abandoned their home and hid in Canglong Mountain," Li Daoxuan explained.

"These people are the core members of the Sky Wolf Sect."

"A grudge of near extinction, no wonder these people were particularly ruthless," Su Heng said neutrally.

"Indeed so," Li Daoxuan nodded and continued, "A few days ago, one of our elders discovered the whereabouts of the Sky Wolf Sect. After tracking them down, we made an unexpected discovery."

"Who?"

"The demon they worship," Li Daoxuan said solemnly, "Cang Ye, one of the seven Demon Kings of the Sky Demon Alliance."

"The strength of the Sky Wolf Sect members largely comes from Cang Ye. If we could eliminate this Demon King at the source, the entire sect would inevitably crumble."

Li Daoxuan continued, "I have already sent people to suppress it, but I feel it's still not secure enough."

"Because the Gray Wolf Demon King openly exposed himself, this behavior is somewhat abnormal. These days, I have pondered back and forth, unable to find peace. If you could personally make a trip there, even if an accident occurs, with your strength, you should be able to handle it."

"Is the Gray Wolf Demon King very strong?" Su Heng turned and asked.

"Indeed not weak," Li Daoxuan responded, "His peak strength is roughly comparable to mine without using the secret technique."

"Interesting, but my duty is to guard the Demon Suppression Tower," Su Heng said with a smile.

"Uh..."

Li Daoxuan hesitated, probing, "Are you asking me for a favor?"

Su Heng spread his hands, giving him a look.

"It's not that I don't want to give," Li Daoxuan said with a resigned smile, "The Demon Suppression Tower is the treasure house of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and now this treasure house is in your hands. Even if I wanted to offer something, I don't have much to give."

Su Heng thought for a moment, and it made sense.

"But you can't expect me to make the trip for nothing," he said.

Li Daoxuan tapped his forehead, "How about this!" Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l'-NovelFire.net

He noticed a giant sword, Gui Jian Chou, hanging on the weapon rack on the wall. The sword no longer suited Su Heng's size;

Moreover, it felt light and was mostly used as a decoration in the room.

"I still have some private funds; I can provide some materials to help upgrade and reforge this sword for you," Li Daoxuan clapped his hands, proposing this plan.

"Okay," Su Heng agreed.

"There's another thing you have to agree to," Su Heng added, "Dead or alive, the Demon King's corpse has a great use for me; it must be handed over to me for safekeeping."

"Of course," Li Daoxuan replied.

"If the Demon King is killed by your own hand, then it's your spoils of war, and you can deal with it as you wish."

"Any other questions?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"Since it is a Demon King of the Sky Demon Alliance, why didn't you take action yourself, instead coming to me humbly?" Su Heng asked with surprise.

"Ah..." Li Daoxuan sighed helplessly, "Isn't it because we still have to be wary of the noble families?"

That incident had nearly caused a rift with the noble families.

The people of the Demon Suppression Bureau were constantly watching the noble houses, and the noble houses were similarly watching the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Li Daoxuan, instead, was nailed here, once he left the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Who knows what accidents might happen.

"Mutual deterrence..." Su Heng nodded, reminding, "Such balance can't last long, either be prepared, or take the initiative to strike first. After all, you are the head of Demon Suppression Bureau, who is a demon or not, is just a word from you."

Li Daoxuan just smiled helplessly and took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it over, "This is the news of this operation."

Su Heng's brow furrowed as he carefully looked it over.

Wherever Su Heng did not understand, Li Daoxuan patiently gave answers and explanations.

"When should I depart?" Finally, Su Heng ignited the secret scroll with great force and casually threw it into the fire basin at his feet.

"The later it is, the more uncertain things become, the sooner the better," Li Daoxuan replied.

"Good."

Li Daoxuan pushed open the door of the room and turned to leave.

"No need to see me out," Su Heng's voice gradually came from the room.

After Li Daoxuan left, inside the room, Su Heng looked down and examined the dagger he had been fiddling with for a while.

This dagger had brought a vague sense of threat to Su Heng during the conflict that day. It could potentially break through his defenses and truly cause damage.

But now...

With the enhancements in both the Giant Stone Technique and the Black Evil Technique.

This sense of threat had disappeared.

Crack!

Great force erupted from Su Heng's hand, warping the air, his fingers gradually applying power.

The hard dagger, made of radiant stone and built in a special way, emitted a cry of unbearable burden in Su Heng's palm.

With a "crack," a crisp sound,

This dagger shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.

He dusted off his hands, and a pale gray attribute panel appeared before him again.

Su Heng

Height: 2.75 meters

Weight: 1570 kg

Status: Vein Mutation 150%, Bone Mutation 105%, Muscle Mutation 2%

Cultivation Techniques: Black Evil, Green Wood Eternity, Cold Ice Charm, Miniature Mist Skill, Enhanced Giant Stone Technique (Strong Defense, Solid as a Rock)

Su Heng shifted his sight away from the attribute panel.

Through the muscles, he reached towards his ribs.

In the middle seam of his ribs, Su Heng could feel some slight boniness.

The ribs of ordinary people are formed one by one in front of the chest, protruding outward. But with bone mutation exceeding one hundred percent, the gaps in Su Heng's ribs began to fill, evolving towards a plate-like structure. This is what ancient martial artists often referred to as, "swan throat and tiger neck, paneled ribs with twisted muscles."

And this was only just the beginning.

Su Heng had merely collected the foundational part of the first half of the Eight Phases Secret Skill.

He had not yet integrated these techniques into a larger framework.

Once the entire system was supplemented later on, Su Heng's bodily transformations would escalate to a non-human realm.

Even with an attribute panel,

Achieving this goal was difficult, requiring a vast amount of resources for extrapolation.

Judging by the flesh he had almost completely harvested from the seventh floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, completing it outright was still a bit of a stretch.

"As for the eighth and ninth floors..."

Su Heng meditated for a moment in his heart, "I'll see after this matter is settled."

"It's just that this Gray Wolf Demon King better not disappoint me," Su Heng mused with a cold smirk.

Approaching the window, he pushed open the huge window in front of him.

The cold wind mixed with sunlight streamed in from outside, lifting Su Heng's shoulder-length hair.

He stepped forward, leapt with all his might directly out of the window sill. His form spread at full speed, bursting through the air, vanishing from Baihua County in a few flashes.

People on the city streets heard a colossal noise above.

But those who looked up or stood at a window looking into the sky,

Could only see several black-feathered, white-headed birds sweeping across the lead-gray sky, Su Heng's figure completely vanished.

This way, with his momentum fully deployed.

In every flash, Su Heng easily crossed hundreds of meters.

He swept over the vast Guang River, walked another dozen or so kilometers forward, and the mist-veiled Canglong Mountain gradually emerged into Su Heng's view.
