Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

[Hint: Due to the martial arts skill "Limit Break," you can now see your current lifespan.]

Current lifespan: 313 years (Lifespan can increase as the level of transcendence increases)

(Note: The protagonist is an SSS-level cultivator and possesses a golden cultivation technique, so his lifespan is longer than that of ordinary Earth Realm human extraordinary beings, who typically live to around 100 years old.)

Ye Ge carefully examined the reward she had received this time.

Points, Imperial Coins, and Secret Medicines need no further explanation.

As the name suggests, the Yangshou Dan (Longevity Pill) is meant to increase lifespan; taking it can add one year to one's lifespan.

Yege opened the vampire genetic data in her inventory and browsed it online.

Hmm...that's interesting.

With this information, we might be able to create weapons specifically designed to deal with vampires in the future.

It's like the weapon they used specifically to deal with humans.

Ye Ge seemed lost in thought.

Then he looked at the two skills he had acquired this time.

One is a martial arts skill, and the other is a magic skill.

Although they are all gold-quality abilities, they are all forbidden techniques??

Ye Ge first examined the forbidden martial arts techniques.

[Forbidden Martial Art: Ultimate Barrier Break]

[Quality: Gold]

[Restriction: Can only be learned and used by martial arts learning talent reaching SSS level (80+)]

[Effect: Mobilizes all energy within the body, accelerating cell division and recombination, forcibly activating (and strengthening) twelve soul power nodes of a limited level within the body for a certain period of time. However, it will also consume the user's lifespan, causing irreversible damage. (The higher the level of the activated nodes, the more lifespan is consumed.)]

Ye Ge's eyebrows twitched.

Forcibly activating/enhancing soul power nodes...

All races and creatures among the myriad races, except for the gods, have twelve nodes in their internal energy channels.

Humans mostly use soul power, so it is also called a soul power node.

Each node corresponds to a level of extraordinary ability. For example, when an extraordinary ability breaks through from an ordinary person to the Yellow Realm, it is the first soul power node that is lit up; reaching the Profound Realm is the second soul power node that is lit up.

Ye Ge is currently at the Earth Realm, which means he has only activated three soul power nodes within his body.

Most beings of all races can only activate a maximum of eleven soul power nodes. These correspond to: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven; Hundred Souls, Thousand Spirits, Myriad Manifestations, Asura; Heavenly Revelation, Holy Descent, Soul Emperor, eleven extraordinary levels.

If one can light up the twelfth soul power node, it means reaching the realm of a demigod! There will be a chance to ascend to the ranks of gods!

'Forcibly breaking through level restrictions in a short time...'

'Unfortunately, using this move consumes a significant amount of lifespan.'

Ye Ge thought to herself, "This move is similar to the 'Blood Burning Soul Sacrifice' used by the First Emperor of Qin; both are life-threatening techniques..."

At the lower stages, illuminating the Yellow, Black, Earth, and Heaven levels requires 1, 10, 20, and 30 years of lifespan, respectively.

In the middle stage, illuminating the Hundred Souls, Thousand Spirits, Myriad Manifestations, and Asura requires 50, 100, 200, and 300 years of lifespan respectively.

At higher stages, activating Apocalypse, Holy Descent, and Soul Emperor requires 1000, 3000, and 5000 years of lifespan respectively.

To reach the demigod realm, one needs to consume 10000 years of lifespan!

"..." Ye Ge cursed under his breath, "Where the hell am I supposed to afford this?"

With his current lifespan, although he could forcibly burn through his life to light up eight soul power nodes and reach the Asura Realm in a short time.

But after achieving that breakthrough, his life was nearing its end...

No wonder it's called a forbidden technique...

Night Song looked at the next forbidden spell.

Forbidden Magic: Soul Detonation

[Quality: Gold]

[Restriction: Can only be learned and used by players with SSS-level (80+) magical learning ability]

[Effect: The mage's MP will be instantly restored to full, and all MP will be converted into soul energy, detonating themselves and releasing it in all directions.]

[Power: MP x1000]

Night Song: "..."

Good guy...

One thing is breaking through a level by spending all your resources, but this is even more extreme—it's a one-for-one trade of self-destruction at the limit?!

Damn it...

System, you damn well better come out here and explain yourself!

You wish I were dead, don't you?!

"Huh? But..."

Ye Ge pinched her chin, suddenly realizing something.

These two skills, one martial arts and the other magic, are not supernatural abilities.

In other words, although there are learning restrictions for these two abilities, as long as a martial artist or magician has a learning ability talent of 80 points or more, they can learn these two abilities.

Ye Ge narrowed her eyes slightly.

A bold idea suddenly popped into my head...

......

Hundred Souls Forest.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, can you be a little quicker?"

A tall, thin watchman dragged the corpse of a vampire warrior onto a hearse, then looked helplessly at a fat, round watchman with a protruding belly who was smoking not far away.

"We need to get these vampire corpses back to the mainland by tomorrow morning. Those crazy doctors at the Ten Thousand Races Research Institute are eager to dissect these vampire soldiers for research."

After Nangong Ru and the others left, they first returned the bodies of the fallen Night Watch warriors.

Then the remaining few watchmen began to clean up the corpses of the dark races in the forest.

"I'm coming......"

Old Jiang chuckled sheepishly, tossed the remaining cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and walked over: "I just couldn't resist, so I took a small puff..."

How many times have you failed to quit smoking?

"Hehe...only the third time, the third time."

"Tch, you bastard..."

The thin night watchman crouched down and dragged another vampire warrior out of a patch of grass.

"These wounds all look like they were fatal from a single blow..." The thin Night Watchman glanced at the vampire soldier's death a few more times as he dragged out the corpse, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine: "That kid from the Night Family, he should only be at the Earth Realm level, right?"

"Oh, yes."

"Tell me, how exactly did he manage to kill so many vampire soldiers at the Heavenly Realm all by himself?"

"..."

Both watchmen fell silent.
