For Huang Yu, his profession is fundamental, and he will not let go of any opportunity to change careers.

"Hmm, how come there are still a few who slipped through the net?"

Suddenly, Huang Yu saw several bandits hurriedly heading down the mountain. They must have been the bandits who had patrolled at night earlier, and they had escaped unscathed.

Huang Yu smiled slightly: "That won't do. A bandit group should be organized and orderly."

With that, Huang Yu used Ghost Shadow Movement to head towards the bandits.

Chapter 16 The Soldiers of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King

Killing a bandit increases your Constitution by 0.015, Mental Attribute by 0.009, and Energy Attribute by 0.01.

Killing a bandit increases your Constitution by 0.013, Mental Attribute by 0.01, and Energy Attribute by 0.012.

[Kill a bandit...]

……

As Huang Yu killed several bandits who had escaped, a series of notification sounds rang out in the consciousness panel.

A faint power surged within him, enhancing Huang Yu's physique, spirit, and true nature.

"What a terrifying talent, no less than [Refining Essence]."

The [Refining Essence] talent can only rapidly enhance Huang Yu's true essence, but it cannot provide a comprehensive improvement.

However, the improvement of the [Endless Slaughter] talent is comprehensive.

This also gave Huang Yu a deeper understanding of the attributes of the career panel. They only represent Huang Yu's individual strength and do not involve deeper levels of mind and will.

Simply put, the panel can only accelerate Huang Yu's cultivation in "fate," but cannot improve his cultivation in "nature."

"If you cultivate your life but not your nature, your spirit will never attain sainthood."

"Without the mindset to control power, I will ultimately become a puppet of power."

"Just like Ruan Feng, who cultivated the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, he eventually became a monster who only wanted to eat people."

"Fortunately, although I coveted the power of the panel, I didn't slack off in my training!!"

Huang Yu pondered for a long time before looking at the various professions on the panel, from the initial [Clay Sculptor] to the later [Alchemist], [Disguise Master], [Warrior], [Thief], and [Assassin].

"I understand now. Experiencing the world, cultivating one's character through countless professions, and using professional talents to quickly improve basic attributes—this is the true way to use the profession panel!"

"Just like how Haotian went through countless eons of cultivation to become the Heavenly Emperor."

"These experiences in various professions are also my trials, my cultivation!"

As dawn broke, Huang Yu sat on the mountain, gaining insight into his future path of cultivation.

Meanwhile, the fire in Black Tiger Stronghold gradually died down.

Seeing that it was almost time, Huang Yu carefully sneaked into Black Tiger Stronghold.

The entire village was burned to a blackened shell, with some wood still smoking and occasionally making crackling sounds.

Charred corpses lay scattered on the ground, their contorted forms suggesting they had endured immense suffering before their deaths.

"Tsk tsk, that's really pathetic."

Huang Yu spoke, but his face was full of schadenfreude.

A bunch of scumbags, laughing gleefully while they were killing, setting fires, ransacking homes, and raping. Now that they're dead, they shouldn't have any complaints.

One should practice what one preaches; how one treats others will one day lead to the same treatment one receives in return.

"I wonder if there's anything good left for me in this mountain stronghold."

"Golden Eyes!"

Huang Yu's eyes turned gold, and the world became different in his eyes. Everything was marked with value, and even the charred corpses on the ground exuded a faint aura of treasure.

After a major fire, there are not many valuable items left in Black Tiger Stronghold, but two places have the strongest treasure aura.

One is the square, the very spot where Black Tiger used to stand.

Upon closer inspection, Huang Yu discovered that Black Tiger's corpse was not charred, but only had some minor burns.

"What's going on? Is something protecting Blackheart Tiger's corpse?"

Huang Yu frowned. Could it be that Black Heart Tiger had other protective artifacts?

That's impossible. If he had other protective artifacts, he wouldn't have died last night.

Huang Yu looked at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner standing to the side.

Could it be this?

The black banner of ten thousand souls remained in place, undamaged, but its yin energy had weakened, indicating that it had been severely burned last night.

Huang Yu reached out his hand and slowly approached the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

[Crisis Warning] There is no reaction, so you are likely safe and your life is not in danger.

Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly as he grabbed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Black streaks immediately sprang from the Myriad Souls Banner, wrapping around Huang Yu's palm.

"You beast, how dare you be so insolent!"

I ran away last night, but today you're out of leadership and badly injured. What should you call me when you see me?

Huang Yu snorted coldly, and a massive amount of red true energy surged from his hand, all of which poured into the Myriad Soul Banner.

Try it and see how amazing I am, being forty times better than ordinary people!

The Myriad Souls Banner immediately trembled, its flags flapping loudly, as a faint blackness tried to resist Huang Yu's infusion.

But Huang Yu ignored everything and poured it all in.

Once inside, they rampaged through the area, leaving the evil spirits and ghostly soldiers inside powerless to resist.

Refined in an instant!

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner stopped moving, its flag drooping as if pleading with Huang Yu to be gentler.

Seeing that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had submitted, Huang Yu waved the banner and summoned the Five Wraiths soldiers and Yin soldiers from within.

The Five Witches' army shrank in size, and only thirty or forty ghost soldiers remained.

They all knelt on one knee, expressing their submission to Huang Yu.

Having been a ghost for so many years, I've never seen many real ones with such a massive size.

Previously, alchemists who obtained the Myriad Soul Banners all carefully refined them, and had to guard against them eroding their essence, energy, and spirit.

But Huang Yu started by forcefully refining them, and they couldn't resist!

Seeing that so many ghost soldiers were missing, Huang Yu asked coldly, "What happened? Where are the other ghost soldiers?"

These ghostly soldiers all possess their own consciousness and can understand human speech.

The leader of the three-headed, six-armed Five Witches warriors stepped forward and replied:

“Master, the fire was too intense last night. In order to protect the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, they were consumed as Yin energy.”

Huang Yu understood. It turned out that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had protected the surrounding area and prevented Black Heart Tiger's corpse from being burned.

"By the way, were you created by Blackheart Tiger?"

Huang Yu was very curious. This Ten Thousand Souls Banner was obviously no ordinary item. The patterns and materials on it were very ancient, unlike the work of Black Heart Tiger.

The three-headed, six-armed Five Witches soldiers shook their heads: "No, we were brought out of the Mo Sect's treasury by Black Heart Tiger."

"The forbidden area of ​​the Mo Sect? Black Heart Tiger is a disciple of the Mo Sect?"

Huang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. He had guessed something earlier. A powerful cultivator like Black Heart Tiger didn't seem like a rogue cultivator without a sect or a faction.

The man with three heads and six arms nodded: "Yes, Black Heart Tiger's real name is Du An, and he is a disciple of the Mo Sect."

"Because he could not bear the rules of the Mo Sect, he stole the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the Mo Sect's treasury and then betrayed the sect."

"Finally, he arrived at Black Tiger Stronghold, killed the original leader, became the leader himself, and named himself Black Heart Tiger."

"After that, he often invited us to come out and fight the enemy."

Huang Yu understood the whole story and asked, "So, you're not the Five Witches' army raised by Black-Hearted Tiger? Then who created them?"

"I've never heard of the Mohist sect having such a lineage."

The three-headed, six-armed man recalled, "It's been too long, and I've forgotten who refined me. I've forgotten most of what happened before."

"I only remember that I was a soldier under General Xiang Yu in my previous life. After being transformed into the Five Wrathful Soldiers, I was in a daze and only obeyed the orders of the Banner Master to fight everywhere."

Huang Yu was startled. Xiang Yu's soldiers?

Xiang Yu lived more than two thousand years ago, which means that the Five Witches army in front of us has been alive for more than a thousand years.

How is this different from immortality?

No, that's not right!

Huang Yu sized up the Five Witches soldiers before him. Although they still possessed their own consciousness, the violent and extreme emotions emanating from them were impossible to conceal.

Over the course of a thousand years, their spirituality has long been worn away, leaving only the instinct for conquest. They have even lost most of their memories, only remembering the most memorable events from their lives and recent occurrences.

Neither human nor ghost, unable to even control oneself, how can one be considered immortal?

It can only be considered a weapon at best!

Can a weapon that has existed for thousands of years be said to be immortal?

Chapter 17 Who writes a diary if they're a decent person?

Huang Yu then asked several questions about ancient times, such as whether Xiang Yu had double pupils and what kind of extraordinary people he fought against... He couldn't answer any of them.

They had even forgotten how they were taken into the Mo Clan's treasure vault; they only remembered that Black-Hearted Tiger had stolen them.

Finally, seeing that he couldn't get anything of value out of them, Huang Yu took back the Five Witches' Army and the Yin Soldiers.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is indeed a rare and high-level magical artifact, and it has existed for over a thousand years. Even as an antique, it has immense value!

Huang Yu bent down, moved Black Heart Tiger's corpse aside, and a crimson revolver appeared before his eyes.
