[Target: Infection]

[Mental Talent: Eye of Spirit Breaker]

Size: 200MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: A pair of heterochromatic eyes transplanted from the Hundred-Eyed Demon, capable of breaking through illusions and directly seeing the souls of living beings.)

Furthermore, it can focus the gaze as a spirit-piercing thorn, ignoring defenses and striking directly at the soul, causing severe damage.

The strength of an attack is related to the user's mental strength.

However, each use will damage the pupil, causing blurred vision, until vision is lost.

(Due to the transplantation process, it contains the lingering resentment of the Hundred-Eyed Demon; long-term use will result in being corrupted by this resentment.)

【Skill 1: Formless Butterfly Technique (Yuan Dan Chapter, Level 4)】

Size: 692MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: This is a method of breaking limits created by imitating the metamorphosis of the Butterfly.)

After a cultivator reaches the Yuan Dan stage, each time they break through a level, the Yuan Dan splits open and is reshaped, greatly purifying their cultivation foundation. However, at the moment of breaking through, they must endure the pain of their soul being torn apart like a butterfly's chrysalis. Similarly, their soul power will also be enhanced.

Note: After cultivating the Wuxiang Jiedie Gong to the Yuan Dan Chapter, the hidden characteristic "Breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly" will be automatically unlocked.

Whether mental or physical, after suffering a fatal injury.

Both methods can restore injuries to their original state at the cost of regressing one minor cultivation level; this ability can only be used once every hundred years.

[Skill 2: Celestial Craftsmanship Pivot Technique (Mastery)]

Size: 180MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: This is a superior secret technique for crafting puppets. It can only be effective when combined with the "Formless Butterfly Technique" and the internal energy cultivated therein.)

The techniques encompass the modification and transplantation of both living and inanimate puppets.

【Skill 3: Thousand Cloud Hands (Master)】

Size: 230MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: The palm transforms into a thousand shadows, layer upon layer, like clouds gathering and dispersing, neither real nor illusory.)

When facing an enemy, one can create hundreds of palm prints with a single hand. Feints can lure the enemy into making a mistake, while true power is hidden within a single palm. The switch between feints and real attacks is only a matter of thought.

At the pinnacle of perfection, one can merge a thousand shadows into one, instantly combining all palm strikes into a single, deadly blow that can shatter mountains and split rocks.

Skill 4: Shadow Step (Master)

Size: 188MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: This is a movement technique that emphasizes moving by stepping on shadows and concealing one's tracks.)

When in operation, its form transforms into a wisp of black smoke, capable of briefly leaping and traversing through shadows, with a maximum distance of no more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

【Skill 5: Thousand罡元丝 (Master)】

Size: 215MB (Status: Downloadable)

(Note: It is formed by condensing one's own Yuan Dan power into nearly transparent fine threads of Qi, which are tough and sharp, capable of cutting steel, and can also be used to control puppets.)

He is the strongest prodigy of the Kui family in nearly a thousand years.

It possesses a wide range of skills.

However, most of these skills are of little use to Hu Long.

This is also why he didn't hold back and killed those two people directly.

Because those two people possess the same skills, so does this Kui Ran.

Compared to these.

What truly drew his attention was the other person's mental talent.

"The Hundred-Eyed Demon—The Eye of Spirit Breaker?"

Hu Long's eyes flickered as he scanned the skill information of the person in front of him, a strange light appearing in his eyes.

"What is a Hundred-Eyed Demon?"

Hu Long spoke.

The voice seemed to possess a certain allure, making one irresistibly want to obey and answer the question.

"According to the records—it was a spirit that looked—similar to a fox—and the Kui family gouged out its eyes, and..."

These are my eyes now—

Kui Ran's eyes were dazed, and blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.

The slap had dislocated her jaw, causing her to speak haltingly.

"Spiritual possession?"

Hu Long thought of the attack he had just received.

It directly ignores the resistance of the physical body and internal energy, striking straight at the soul.

Although it did not have any real impact on him.

But he knew in his heart that it was just that the other party's mental strength was too low and could not shake him at all.

The information on the Tai Su noodle board is clearly written.

How strong one's abilities are depends entirely on the strength of one's mental strength.

What if this person's mental strength increased dozens of times?

Who knows, I might have actually injured him just now. If the force had been several hundred times greater, I might have been able to kill him.

Thinking about it that way...

This gave Hu Long a sense of unease.

Although his current strength is considered to be at the pinnacle of this world.

However, we still can't be too reckless.

These strange and unpredictable methods are simply impossible to guard against.

Hu Long was very interested in this talent.

Although he possesses the spiritual talent of capturing spirits (mirages).

But that thing is ultimately just an auxiliary skill; it's passable for manipulation and interference.

It cannot be used for direct psychological attacks.

Unlike the Spirit-Breaking Eye, it can directly launch mental attacks.

This ability can perfectly make up for his weakness.

Of course, more than the means of attack, Hu Long values ​​the ability to see through illusions.

Based on his understanding of Taisu Noodles, talent is something that can be increased as long as you are willing to spend your source points.

As for the lingering regret of that Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Hu Long didn't take it to heart at all.

If that guy can handle something, what kind of trouble can he possibly cause with the strength of his soul?

Even if something unexpected happens, there's always the vegetarian noodle board to fall back on.

Furthermore, he downloaded the mental talent, so it shouldn't be mixed with this defect.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the panel.

[Data usage: 2480MB]

[Source Value: 5090.36 strands]

They killed those two Yuan Dan realm cultivators earlier, but all they got were source points; they didn't see any traffic.

That doesn't make much sense.

Those who can cultivate to the Yuan Dan realm, which one doesn't carry some luck on their shoulders?

But in reality, not a single drop of traffic was extracted.

But on second thought, perhaps their luck had already been exhausted.

If that's the case, then the harvest must be done when people are at their most popular.

Only in this way can we maximize our benefits.

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

"Tai Su, download Soul Breaker for me."

Hu Long's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, the data usage dropped by 200 megabytes.

A cool breeze seeped into the depths of my soul, gathering around my eyes.

At the same time, a tingling, itchy sensation spread through my body and eyes, as if countless tiny insects, as fine as hairs, were churning, crawling, and gnawing inside my eyeballs.

This sensation is so intense it can drive you crazy.

But Hu Long remained completely still.

This level of negative effect is nothing to his immense mental power.

Moreover, after comprehending the true meaning of martial arts—that it is all about self—[the meaning is further elaborated upon].

Although his mental strength did not increase dramatically, it was noticeably more refined, like an iron block being repeatedly forged into fine steel.

The tormenting feeling lasted for two or three minutes before it completely dissipated, replaced by a cool and refreshing sensation spreading from the depths of my eyes.

Hu Long opened his eyes and looked at the puddle on one side.

The water rippled slightly, reflecting his face and his purple pupils.

It was as if two amethysts were embedded in his eye sockets, which, combined with his already handsome face, added an indescribable and eerie feeling.

This is just a change in appearance.

What truly surprised him was that the world before him suddenly became so clear it seemed unreal.

With his original strength, his eyesight was already terrifying to an extent that ordinary people could not imagine, but now it has been improved again.

Not only did my vision change, but the colors in front of me also became more vibrant and colorful.

Hu Long looked up into the distance, his pupils suddenly dilating.

The mountains, streams, and cracks on rocks dozens of kilometers away, and even the fine feathers that fall from the wingtip of a bird flying by in the distance, are all reflected in the eyes with exquisite detail.

His gaze could see through things.

Nothing can stop it.

He tried it a few times and felt no discomfort in his eyes, nor did he sense any lingering resentment from the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Clearly, the Taisu noodle board only downloaded the spiritual talent itself; the lingering resentment was not copied at all.

This saves us a lot of trouble.

Hu Long looked at the newly appeared line of text on the Taisu noodle board.

[Mental Talents: Spirit Absorption (Mirage), Spirit-Shattering Eyes]

It really does improve performance.

Without hesitation, Hu Long immediately added points.

Source value only has value when used on oneself; what difference is there between it and waste paper if it lies lying on the panel?

At the same time.

The source value column suddenly decreased by a thousand.

Upon seeing this, a thought struck him. Hu Long remembered that his initial improvement in those talents had only taken a few dozen strands of energy.

The fact that this Spirit-Breaking Eye used up a thousand strands of energy on its first upgrade can only be explained by one thing.

The starting threshold for this talent is much higher than that of the previous three talents.

That tingling, numb sensation surged up again.

This lasted for a full five minutes before it gradually subsided.

From the outside, the eyes seem to be flat and haven't changed much, except that the color has become a bit darker.

The round pupils that were originally human have transformed into starlight shapes.

Hu Long ignored that and looked at the Taisu noodle board in front of him.

The original handwriting of "Spirit-Breaking Eye" has been changed.

[Mental Talent: Eye of Annihilation]

(Note: This eye can see through illusions and reach the true nature of things.)

With a single glance, the caster can unleash the power of annihilation through their gaze, directly obliterating the target's soul.

Its power is closely related to the caster's spiritual cultivation; the stronger the spirit, the greater the power to destroy spirits.

Each use of the pupils depletes some power; it can be restored by closing the eyes to rest.

According to the description, this Soul-Destroying Eye has undergone significant changes compared to before.

Not only did the power to destroy spirits become the power to annihilate spirits.

The depleted pupillary power can be restored over time by closing your eyes, so there's no need to worry about becoming blind.

Hu Long looked up again, his pupils suddenly dilating.

In an instant, the world in his eyes changed.

The falling raindrops became clearly visible, showing the shape, trajectory, and the curvature of each droplet distorted by wind pressure.

Every detail was clearly visible in the star-shaped pupils.

Above the rain curtain, the thick dark clouds broke through.

He saw the folds and swirling eddies of the clouds, and the gradually thinning dark blue behind them.

The gaze continues upward.

Passing through dark clouds, through rain curtains, through the turbid currents of the troposphere and the clarity of the stratosphere.

Several kilometers, tens of kilometers, hundreds of kilometers.

It was as if the entire sky was opening up to him, bowing infinitely to his gaze.

Then comes something even further away.

Above the dark clouds are white clouds, above the white clouds is azure, and above the azure is a layer of almost transparent, extremely thin gas.

Above that is pure, cold, pitch-black darkness, without a single blemish.

The starry sky stretches to the horizon, boundless and limitless.

Those stars that should have been obscured by the torrential rain now lit up one by one deep in his pupils, their cold light sharp as needles, piercing through billions of kilometers of void.

then.

He saw that great sun.

Boundless, intense light poured out from that disc.

No longer the gentle orange-red seen on the ground, but an incandescent, violent, burning furnace that frantically unleashed destruction.

A terrifying torrent of intense light reflected into his pupils.

Then, the view before my eyes transformed into a pure white vista intertwined with a dark red afterimage.

Immediately afterwards, a needle-like stinging pain exploded from deep within my eyeballs.

Hu Long suddenly closed his eyes.

His pupils trembled violently, and tears of primal urges welled in the corners of his eyes. Rain fell, hitting his face and mingling with his tears as they streamed down.

His eyes had been burned by the sun.

But that's normal.

Earth has an atmosphere, which filters out most of the intense ultraviolet light and radiation.

Even so, if you look directly at the sun during the day, your eyes will still feel uncomfortable and burn.

Hu Long, however, completely ignored the penetrating atmosphere and looked into the universe.

The sun's rays are completely unobstructed, carrying extremely strong ultraviolet rays and high-energy radiation directly; it would be strange if there were no reaction.

but.

That's not what Hu Long cares about.

It's something else entirely.

Just now, my eyes couldn't take it anymore and I closed them.

He saw the patterns of feathers on the surface of the sun.

Hu Long was also aware of this.

Generally speaking, the fine feathers of the chromosphere on the surface of the sun are called needle-like structures. They are themselves high-temperature plasma jets that rise thousands of kilometers upward from the surface of the sun.

This creates a feather-like appearance, which is a normal visual phenomenon.

But what he saw just now was different.

That was different from what he had seen in pictures on Earth in his previous life.

The feathers were not disordered, but rather formed a vortex of feathers layered upon each other, with dark golden light flowing within them.

Just as Hu Long had this thought, his vision was suddenly shattered.

The upside-down, bizarre images flashed by one after another, and strange murmurs seemed to echo in my ears.

He swayed and nearly fell to the ground.

Moreover, at some point, his skin had turned a scorching red, as if it had been roasted by a raging fire, radiating an astonishing heat. As soon as the rain fell, it was evaporated into thick white smoke.

Upon realizing this, Hu Long quickly shifted his attention, not daring to think about it any further.

Soon, the whole world seemed to be peeling away and shattering, and all the eerie whispers disappeared.

It was as if it were just his illusion.

However, given Hu Long's current physical condition, it is impossible for him to experience such a situation.

There's only one reason: it's caused by the sun.

"Just one glance was enough to have this effect on me, there's definitely something wrong with that sun! Could it be alive—"

Hu Long took a deep breath.

As my body temperature gradually returned to normal, I felt a chill run down my spine.

He had already guessed that he could obtain source value by basking in the sun when he first came to this world.

Now he has, to some extent, confirmed this.

I snapped out of my reverie and noticed I still had some data left.

Hu Long casually downloaded the Formless Butterfly Technique and the Heavenly Palace Pivot Technique.

He felt his mind filling with knowledge about crafting puppets and transplanting limbs and organs.

Hu Long was very satisfied.

After doing all this.

He used his spirit-summoning ability to ask Kui Ran about the exact location of Kui's family.

With a jolt of his arm, his inner strength surged forth.

Kui Ran's body exploded with a bang, and she was dead beyond any doubt.

[Data usage +1400MB]

[Source Value +1690]

"Um?"

I saw the words that appeared before my eyes.

Hu Long was somewhat surprised.

Based on his previous speculation about the mechanism of traffic.

A person's "flow and luck" are related.

There are highs and lows, and one's fortune may even disappear completely.

This is why there was no increase in traffic after he killed the two people earlier.

The sheer number of plants currently in use is enough to demonstrate their potential.

If the flow of traffic can be explained by its abundant positive energy, then...

Having so many source values ​​is a bit unusual.

It should be noted that Kui Ran was only at the Crescent Moon Realm, theoretically possessing at most seven or eight hundred strands of source value, but now she has more than double that.

"Could it be that those Soul-Piercing Eyes count too?"

Hu Long thought of the lingering resentment of the Hundred-Eyed Demon mentioned in the instructions on the Tai Su noodle board.

Only in this way can it be explained.

In any case, this is not bad for him.

Hu Long didn't dwell on that point anymore.

He blinked, and the pain in his eyes had lessened considerably.

He looked up at a point on the horizon.

There, dozens of kilometers away.

Three figures were flying rapidly toward this place.

Upon seeing this, Hu Long's star-shaped pupils suddenly spun, his gaze locking onto the three people.

Without any hesitation, he unleashed a devastating attack.

The original Soul-Shattering Eye had a range limitation and could only be used on one person at a time.

However, after the upgrade, the Eye of Annihilation no longer has this restriction.

He can activate any target that catches his eye.

The only difference is that the power will be reduced depending on the distance.
