Chapter 3: Origin Rank Enhancement Upper Limit Permanently +1 (Can Reach Origin Rank Enhancement +16).
...
Still three choices. Compared to the last time it devoured the Indestructible Trait: Abyss Spawn, the improvements this time were partially lower than before. However, regarding the strength of the Blade Demon Spirit, it was significantly higher than last time.
Su Xiao noticed something: devouring different Indestructible Trait: Abyss Spawns resulted in different enhancement directions for Dragon-Slaying Flash. Last time, it drastically increased durability and sharpness; this time, the benefits were in another area.
If it could still increase sharpness by 120 points like last time, Su Xiao would have chosen that without hesitation. But this time, it only increased by 30 points, making it clearly more prudent to choose the enhancement of the Blade Demon Spirit's strength.
[Dragon-Slaying Flash's Blade Demon Spirit strength increased by 17 points.]
Thus, the Blade Demon Spirit's strength reached 62 points. This affected many aspects, such as the slumber time of the Blade Demon Spirit after each use of the Demon Blade ability.
Not only that, if the Blade Demon Spirit's strength was high enough, it would also raise the execution limit of Demon Blade. Even a 5% increase, bringing the execution limit to 30%, would be a massive improvement. However, it was still unknown exactly how many points of Blade Demon Spirit strength were needed to raise the execution health threshold.
After meditating for so long, Su Xiao was now ravenously hungry. After a hearty meal of decent train food, he looked out the window. The scenery rushing past outside began to slow down. What came into view were stone-blue buildings covered in frost and snow. They were nearing the station of Fierce Winter City.
When the train stopped, the Northern Princess opened the carriage door and walked in, smiling as she said, "Welcome to Fierce Winter City, Dean White Night. I heard that to welcome your arrival, the nobles of Fierce Winter City recalled the Northern Grand General overnight."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. Knowing that the Northern Grand General was a disciple of the Betrayer, his return to Fierce Winter City was not good news.
Su Xiao disembarked with the other travelers on the train. The station was bustling with people. His first stop was the Northern Princess's luxurious residence, using it as a base before searching for traces of the Betrayer.
As he pondered, Su Xiao inadvertently looked toward the crowd ahead. Through the passing pedestrians, a figure caught his eye. The person wore loose clothing, had long, gray-white hair, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses. Though elderly, he exuded an extraordinary masculine charm. His muscles, though weakened by age, carried an aura that instinctively made others step back. What was most striking were his sharp, piercing eyes. At that moment, a faint, elusive smile played on his face.
This person was... the Betrayer!
Su Xiao locked eyes with the Betrayer, who was dozens of meters ahead. Between them were countless passersby.
