One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 36 Aristocratic Family
"Sister, who are you looking down on?" Su Heng thought to himself.

His current strength is not just ten times that of an ordinary person, and as his weight and size increase, his strength will become even more terrifying and exaggerated.

In other words...

According to the martial arts system presented by Su Li, Su Heng's aptitude is basically unlimited.

"You mentioned the Devil Form Realm just now." Su Heng asked, "What realm is that?"

"Raising a demon form, containing a demon fetus, and transforming into a celestial being are considered the three major realms for cultivators of my generation." Su Li replied.

"Among them, nurturing the demon form and the demon fetus can be divided into three different small stages: tendons, bones, flesh, blood and internal organs. As for the Heavenly Strange Realm, that realm is too mysterious and too far away from me. My master may know something about it, but I am not sure."

Demonic forms, demon fetuses, natural monsters... give me a feeling that they are becoming more and more delicious.

"Gudong!"

Su Heng swallowed his saliva and asked, "Sister, what realm are you in now?"

"I have entered the second stage of the Demonic Form Realm, which is bone strengthening." Su Li raised his chin slightly with a proud look on his face.

"..."

Su Li clenched her fists and looked at him angrily, "What do you mean by this slightly disdainful expression?"

"What a talented young man." Su Heng complimented perfunctorily.

"I heard from Ning Zhibai that even those who are born with talent, and have first-class aptitude and comprehension, still need to spend about thirty years of hard work to practice a technique to perfection and enter the Grandmaster realm."

Su Heng said, "According to my understanding, the so-called Grandmaster in the martial arts world is a warrior who has developed his potential to the limit but still cannot escape the scope of human beings."

"It is obvious that you, a warrior in the Demon Form Realm, are stronger than the Grandmaster, even much stronger."

"But you've only been studying away from home for two and a half years. Even if you're gifted, it's impossible for you to surpass others' thirty years of hard work in just two and a half years."

Su Heng pulled her hand away. There were no obvious calluses on her fair and delicate palm. "You don't look like you've ever worked hard."

"I've already said that I'm a rare genius in a century..." Su Li pulled his hand back.

"All right……"

She sighed and didn't continue joking this time. Instead, she said seriously, "Since you killed the water ghost, you should have realized the unusualness of the demon."

"Yeah." Su Heng nodded.

"Using special techniques, the flesh and blood of demons can be made into 'medicine'. Paired with the corresponding skills, absorbing the medicinal power can stimulate the body to undergo mutations and surpass the limits of the human body. Gradually moving closer to the direction of a demon, this is the true meaning of raising a demon form."

"You guys took a shortcut." Su Heng recalled his own practice journey.

He directly practiced a technique from the most basic point, without any external help, and spent time and sweat to practice to perfection. He developed his body's potential to the limit, and then broke through the limit and stepped into a whole new realm.

therefore……

On the surface, Su Heng's realm is lower than Su Li's.

But if a real fight breaks out, it can only be said that even if Su Heng gives her two hands and two feet, Su Li may not be her opponent.

Considering the progress of the changes in the tendons and veins on the attribute panel, he reasonably speculated that Su Li must not have cultivated the first level of cultivating the demon form to perfection.

It is estimated that the degree of mutation is only about 50 to 60 percent. Will this make the foundation unstable?

"One should proceed step by step in cultivation and not be too anxious." Su Heng sighed softly. Unexpectedly, Su Li seemed to have thought of something and his face looked a little gloomy after he just said it casually.

Is this... a story? Seeing this expression, Su Heng was very surprised.

“Since your Demon Suppression Division has a long history, why have I never heard of it before?” Su Heng asked puzzledly.

"The best doctors treat illness before it occurs, the middle doctors treat illness before it occurs, and the worst doctors treat illness after it occurs. Doesn't this just prove that we are doing a good job?" Su Li smiled. "Before the demons caused any trouble, we had already killed and suppressed them. Ordinary people naturally have no idea about the reputation of the Demon Suppression Division."

"I see. Then why are demons appearing one after another now?"

"This……"

Su Li shook her head. "I'm not sure either. It could be a natural disaster, or a man-made disaster, or even a combination of natural and man-made disasters. I've only been in the Demon Suppression Division for two years. How can I know the answers to these questions?"

"What do you think? Would you like to consider joining our Demon Suppression Division?" Su Li punched Su Heng's arm and asked with a smile.

"Let me think about it..."

Su Heng did not agree immediately, compared to the so-called Demon Suppression Division.

In fact, he was more concerned about Su Li.

He was afraid that she would encounter some danger during the mission and die accidentally, which would make Su Heng very sad.

"We have the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Demon Suppression Tower, which holds the demons and monsters that have been causing trouble in Qingzhou for hundreds of years. For any technique you want to practice, you can find the corresponding demon flesh and blood in the Demon Suppression Tower to assist you." Su Li continued to persuade.

She didn't think too much about it, but just felt that Su Heng's terrifying talent should not be buried in a small place like Changqing County.

Demon-Suppressing Tower—Isn’t this like eating at a buffet for me?
Su Heng was somewhat moved.

He stood up slowly, holding an apple in his hand, and walked towards the window.

Suddenly thinking of something, Su Heng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Since a demon plus the corresponding cultivation method can produce a large number of demon-shaped warriors whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. Then in the Great Zhou Dynasty, will there be people who choose to raise demons in captivity to satisfy their ambitions?"

"The group of people you mentioned, normally we call them aristocratic families." Su Li quietly appeared behind Su Heng, the smile on her pretty fair face gone.

"Aristocratic family... the Demon Suppression Division doesn't care?" Su Heng asked again.

"Hundred-year dynasties and thousand-year-old families. Many of those families already existed before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Demon Suppression Division can only check and balance them but cannot completely eradicate them." Su Li sighed and answered helplessly.

Su Heng recalled the records in the county annals.

"It rained heavily for ten days straight, the plague spread, people were biting each other, and more than 100,000 people in the city were killed or injured."

"Drought in Yunzhou...millions of people died or were injured in the three counties, bones were exposed in the wild, and no roosters crowed for thousands of miles."

'A flood hit Qingmuzhou, the dam burst, countless bodies floated on the surface, and flocks of crows blocked out the sun.'

Su Heng had no idea whether these seemingly ordinary natural disasters were caused by the so-called aristocratic families.

If this is true...

The noble families raised demons, and the demons devoured humans. In the eyes of these noble family disciples, ordinary people were no different from weeds fed to pigs. The splendor and wealth of the mortal world were nothing but a cloud of smoke in the face of such a natural disaster.

"Yunyan, Yunyan...Fuck!"

Su Heng suddenly looked up and opened his eyes wide, only to see that the bright sunlight outside the window had dimmed without him noticing.

Under the iron-gray sky, wisps of floating mist were like streams, passing over the ancient and tall city walls and spreading towards the city.
