Chapter 6: A Leap in Cultivation, The Trial of Soul Suppression!
The flesh and blood fragments of a corpse increase one's cultivation level by 0.1 per day.
The initial Yin Yuan cultivation of a Spirit Summoner is only one day.
Based on this calculation, the conversion rate of contracted Yin entities gaining cultivation by absorbing resentment and remnants of the soul is approximately one in ten.
of course……
This is probably not accurate.
After all, Fang Han's contracted Yin artifact is the lowest-level existence among the wandering souls of the first realm.
The conversion rate of absorbing resentment and remnants of spirits is definitely much lower than that of powerful vengeful ghosts and malevolent spirits.
Just like the meditation techniques recorded in some ancient books—
The strength of a yin entity's foundation greatly affects its ability to absorb and transform yin energy and resentment.
"Is this how contracted Yin entities become stronger?"
Fang Han muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.
then.
He shifted his gaze and led the female ghost Xiaoqian (Nie Xiaoqian) towards the depths shrouded in gray mist ahead.
Not long after...
The sound of gnawing at hard objects grew louder and louder, mixed with a chilling cracking sound.
at last.
Beside a patch of withered bushes, Fang Han spotted the Nethertooth Rat!
This monstrous rat is half the height of a person.
Its entire body was covered in withered fur.
It has a pair of sharp incisors that look like rusty iron blades.
It looks similar to an ordinary rat, but it exudes a faint aura of death.
but.
Judging from its lean frame and long limbs.
Fang Han was able to deduce that this Nether Tooth Rat was an agile type of evil creature from the Yin Realm.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to kill three novice contract envoys so easily!
"Agile type..."
"This is quite a troublesome problem for a newcomer with a weak life force."
Fang Han did not act rashly.
Instead, they quietly hid in the distance, observing carefully.
In his view.
This underworld, where everyone summons spirits, has an order similar to those so-called "leveling up by defeating monsters" games.
But this is, after all, a real world—
A real world that can collapse and be destroyed!
and so.
Even if the Nether Tooth Rat is an evil creature from the Yin Realm, it will definitely feel satiated after devouring a large amount of resentment and remnants of souls.
Movements will also become sluggish.
This is similar to the principle that people shouldn't engage in strenuous exercise after eating too much.
Since the opponent is agile, we should wait until it is fully fed and relaxed before assessing the situation.
Of course... this is just his current deduction based on common sense.
They are merely using their familiar worldview to observe and speculate about the evil creatures in this underworld.
Fang Han is meticulous.
Never let yourself fall into a dead end where you have no control before you truly become stronger.
that's it.
He was like an old hunter who had wandered the edge of the underworld for many years.
Wait patiently in the distance.
until……
I saw that the Nethertooth Rat had gnawed the two broken bodies until they were unrecognizable, with the bones exposed.
Then, a very humane scene unfolded—
It patted its swollen belly with its front paws.
Next, they found a comfortable spot in the nearby bushes, a place covered with rotting, dead leaves.
It lazily lay down!
Upon seeing this scene, a cold glint flashed in Fang Han's dark eyes!
"Just as I thought..."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Fang Han's lips.
then.
He looked around at the surroundings.
His gaze swept over the several twisted, withered trees nearby.
After determining the battle terrain and retreat route.
He gripped the Soul-Suppressing Demon Blade, which gleamed with a chilling aura.
Like a predatory ghost, it silently moved toward its opponent!
"Shh...shh...shh..."
Although Fang Han moved very gently.
The sound of stepping on rotten, withered leaves was barely perceptible.
But it still disturbed the "full-fed and water-drinking" Nethertooth Rat!
moment!
Then it flipped over!
His blood-red eyes were fixed on Fang Han's location!
A threatening growl came from his throat.
His front teeth, still dripping with dirty liquid, were revealed!
After confirming that Fang Han was alone and that his life force was not strong.
A look of greed and bloodlust appeared in the eyes of this Nethertooth Rat!
The feeling was like seeing a live, fresh prey delivered right to your door!
but.
Just as the Nethertooth Rat locked onto Fang Han—
He launched the attack first!
Accompanying Yin Techniques... Inducing activation!
Fang Han let out a low, chilling sob, as if it came from the depths of hell.
It is indeed—a soul-capturing whisper!
The Nethertooth Rat suddenly froze, a moment of confusion and bewilderment appearing in its blood-red eyes.
It was that moment of confusion!
Fang Han suddenly leaped up!
He gripped the chilling Soul-Suppressing Blade tightly and slashed fiercely at his opponent!
The blade gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light of the day!
It drew a long, crescent-shaped trail of death in the air!
The speed is astonishing!
In the blink of an eye.
Because it had swallowed too many resentful remnants of the soul, the ghostly rat's body was swollen, and its movements were much slower.
Having just struggled out of the daze of the seductive whispers, before even having a chance to escape—
Fang Han preemptively struck first, slashing his neck hard!
Moreover, this strike had been brewing for a long time, and its power was extremely vicious!
Just one cut!
They actually managed to sever the hideous head of the Nethertooth Rat!
"Bang--"
The moment its head rolled off, the Nethertooth Rat's body convulsed violently.
Immediately afterwards, a cloud of grayish-black resentful mist gushed out from the broken point!
The mist emitted a faint whimper, like the mournful cry of the wind passing through a broken windowpane.
In the blink of an eye, the entire body, like a punctured scabbard, quickly shrank and disintegrated!
The resentment transformed into wisps of black smoke, seeping into the cracks in the ground.
Only a few shattered fragments of the spirit core and a pair of dull, lifeless front teeth remained on the spot!
[Slaying a Tier 1 Nethertooth Rat... Yin Yuan cultivation increased by three days!]
Fang Han immediately sensed it—
A cold yet substantial aura surged into my body!
It flows along the meridians and finally converges in the dantian!
Although this power was icy cold, it made him feel an unprecedented sense of fullness and strength!
at the same time.
His current level of Yin Yuan cultivation also appeared in his mind—
Ten days!
Fang Han didn't say a word.
He immediately summoned the contracted female ghost, Xiaoqian.
When Nie Xiaoqian saw the disintegrating and dissipating body of the Nethertooth Rat, her clear and cold eyes lit up slightly!
A strong sense of desire to "absorb" is coming through!
"Go...absorb its resentment and remnants."
Fang Han issued a brief mental command.
The next second, Nie Xiaoqian's figure darted forward.
She bent down, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall.
He took a gentle breath, focusing on the few fragments of the Spirit Pivot that were about to completely dissipate and the pervasive mist of resentment.
She inhaled wisps of the visible gray-black mist!
"Ding! Your contracted Yin entity has absorbed the remnants of resentment, increasing your Yin Yuan cultivation by 0.3 days..."
[Note: Contracted Yin entities can gain a certain degree of Yin energy cultivation by absorbing resentment and remnants of the soul, but this cannot exceed the cultivation limit of the absorbed entity in its previous life...]
"0.3 days... If the conversion rate is one-tenth, this Nether Tooth Rat only has three days of Yin Yuan cultivation in total."
"It matches the cultivation level I gained after killing him."
"This is just like gaining experience points by defeating monsters in games..."
"As long as we hunt enough, we can get through this Soul-Suppressing Tribulation in ten days."
Fang Han was making these plans in his mind.
then.
His gaze drifted deeper into the Dark Mist Forest—
That area was shrouded in an even thicker gray fog.
Then, I walked over carefully.
however.
It took most of the day to walk there.
During this time, he was under immense mental tension, yet he didn't encounter a single evil creature from the Yin Realm!
There was only a deathly silence all around.
And those eerie shadows of twisted, withered trees appearing and disappearing in the gray fog!
This made him frown deeply.
"Strange... We've been walking for most of the day, and we haven't even encountered a single wandering ghost."
"Could it be that the biggest challenge of this Soul-Suppressing Trial isn't actually hunting these Yin creatures themselves..."
"Or... are there just not enough resources?"
"Do we need to rob, seize, or even snatch from other contracted envoys?!"
A chilling thought suddenly popped into Fang Han's mind!
