Konoha's Mission Master

*Thud*, a transparent chain pierced his skull, and unknown energy gradually poured in, giving Yakumo a completely new change.

The excruciating pain originates from inside the skull…

Yakumo guessed that was the location where the soul resided, and his body fell down as a result, rolling around on the arena floor, as if a dull knife was grinding against his brainstem and stirring his brain cells.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!"

Yakumo disregarded his image and let out a hysterical roar. As time went on, the excruciating pain became even more severe.

"I... just... cracked... open."

This pain is akin to the tearing of one's soul.

In Yakumo's eyes, the world's colors became chaotic, displaying countless multicolored lines that were twisted, disordered, and illogical.

"Is this what black in all its colors looks like?"

Yakumo silently complained to himself, trying to distract himself.

The next second, an even more terrifying pain was born.

"Aaaaaah... This is a trap!"

The joy of gaining the power to sever souls gradually dissipated.

Half an hour later, the excruciating pain finally subsided...

Yakumo got up from the ground. He could sense that there was a switch in his mind, which only required a thought.

immediately…

A strange energy surged from his mind and enveloped his fist.

Is this the kind of energy that can attack the soul?

Use the consumable portion of your soul to transform your attack methods.

In this way, the fact that overuse can lead to coma can also be explained. Since it is derived from the soul's energy, overuse will naturally trigger the soul's protection.

Two orbs of light still floated in mid-air above the arena.

Yakumo skipped the second one, free attribute points.

The Mourning of the Nile

Item type: Long sword/weapon (85.3 cm)

Holder: Constitution +4, Strength +3, Intelligence +8

Amplification attribute: 200%

Amplification Attribute: Deathly Aura

Item Description: A legendary weapon of death, imbued with deathly aura. When it strikes an enemy, it causes their flesh to wither and their life to fade.

Item Special Feature: Ultimate Curse (Upgradeable)

Feature Description: Hitting an enemy five times in a row triggers a death curse, which is determined by the enemy's constitution attribute. If the attribute is below 35, the enemy is instantly killed; if it is above 35, additional damage is dealt.

Evolution level: 0%

Bound Person: You Gu Qian Xue

This is an excellent weapon, but unfortunately it doesn't belong to Yakumo.

Yakumo received the sorrow of the Nile River and slowly drew his sword.

The Nile's mournful blade is straight and long, a pure sky blue, like a piece of fine natural jade.

The inside of the blade is outlined with dense and mysterious patterns.

According to the system's prompts, in Yakumo's hands it is merely a sturdy weapon, but only in Yuuki Chiyuki's hands can the attached enhancements and special properties be used.

So……

Why does the game system reward items that don't belong to you?

Yakumo was somewhat puzzled.

Is the game system encouraging players to create their own squads?

Will multiplayer dungeons appear in the future?

This may be the truth. From the initial simple task panel and skill upgrade interface, to later task dungeons, weapon enhancements, and real dungeons, the game system has been constantly upgrading itself.

Yakumo considers the game system's abilities to be his unique talent and treats them as his own private property, but now the game system seems to be unlocking a multiplayer mode.

Yakumo felt no joy at the thought of sharing her unique talent with others.

Only one ball of light remained in mid-air above the arena.

Yakumo tapped his finger and, as expected, gained six free attribute points.

"Leave the arena."

Yakumo opened his eyes again, his body already inside the wooden cocoon, holding a weapon of somewhat exaggerated length in his hand.

The Sorrow of the Nile, a growth-oriented weapon exclusively for You Gu Qianxue.

Yakumo is genuinely envious.

Despite Yakumo spending a massive amount of gold and time to cultivate Fuma to its current level, Fuma's overall strength is still inferior to Nile's Sorrow.

Although the Demon Slayer possesses the ability to absorb blood, it cannot improve its attributes.

Even though Blood Shadow's Praise can lock your health, essentially giving you a second life, Yakumo still thinks the five-hit kill curse is more appealing.

"Since things have come to this, let's add some more."

At this moment, Intelligence: 67.0 (Learning ability, mental resistance)

Yakumo lightly tapped the plus sign after the Intelligence attribute.

Free attribute points are starting to disappear.

Warm energy spread through his mind. After experiencing the unique fusion of the Soul Reaper, Yakumo was certain that this warm energy not only strengthened his brain nerves but also his soul.

Improving one's soul can increase the power of Soul Slaying and also increase the speed at which one comprehends the Way of Life. Intelligence is truly a god-like attribute!

Over time, the intelligence attribute reached 69.9.

At this moment, the plus sign after the Intelligence attribute has turned gray.

Yakumo lightly tapped the gray "Breakthrough" text.

This is the sixth-level extreme attribute, which requires two Divine Revelation Scrolls, or two Dao Transformation Scrolls, to exchange for.

This is equivalent to approximately 90000 gold coins.

Yakumo looked away and began to ponder.

There are currently 3.1 free attribute points remaining.

Agility or strength?

During the battle between Yakumo and Nasus, she realized that her own attack power was insufficient. On the other hand, the golden arcs stimulating her body could increase her agility attribute, which meant that Yakumo did not lack agility.

Of the four attributes, Strength affects attack power.

Yakumo made a decision and brought up his personal profile.

Strength: 55.6 (Weight, Attack, etc.)

Move your right hand and tap the plus sign lightly.

Thirty-one times in a row in the blink of an eye.

Within Yakumo's body, bursts of scalding energy suddenly erupted, no longer gentle but extremely destructive, causing the muscle groups responsible for generating power in the battle to break and regenerate.

They gradually became thicker and even somewhat bloated, with the upper body muscles becoming exaggerated, disrupting the original harmonious aesthetic.

Suddenly, a certain power surged from the depths of Yakumo's body. Under the coordination of this power, the muscle tissue of his upper body was recompressed, its density increased, its explosive power increased, and its volume gradually returned to normal.

This power comes from physical constitution.

Yakumo suddenly realized the mystery of his body.

Physical attributes are the foundation of the body, governing agility and strength. They prevent the balance from being disrupted when muscles and nerves are strengthened, maintaining a harmonious aesthetic and unity in the form of muscle tissue.

Yakumo speculated that the existence of the intelligence attribute also had a deeper meaning, but he had not yet discovered the truth.

As time went by, the intense energy gradually dissipated.

Yakumo clenched his fist; it was a very fulfilling feeling.

now....

Strength attribute: 58.7 (weight carrying capacity, attack, etc.)

At this point, all the rewards from clearing the arena have been used up.

Intellectual capacity has reached a bottleneck; a Taoist scroll is lacking.

Agility and strength attributes still have a long way to go.

The sun rises on the horizon.

Yakumo gazed at the long sword in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and flew towards the Konoha Cemetery, intending to first entrust the Sorrow of the Nile to Yukotsu Chiyuki.

Early in the morning, Yougu Qianxue had already begun her morning exercise.

Looking into the distance, Yakumo saw...

Name: You Gu Qian Xue

Intimacy: 100 (maximum value)
