Chapter 137: Master's Body

Attacked, Passive Points, 1.Attacked, Passive Points, 1.

Passive Points: 100861.Passive Points: 200404.Xu Xiaoshou felt incredibly exhilarated at this moment, an exhilaration born from frantically scurrying around! He kept only a sliver of his spiritual consciousness on the information panel, dedicating the rest entirely to his game of hide-and-seek.

In less than fifteen minutes, his Passive Points had already exceeded 200,000. As for why it was only 200,000... The white sword energy overhead seemed to have taken a stimulant, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks on anyone it caught. The frequency had probably surpassed 500 strikes per second and was still increasing.

If that were all, Xu Xiaoshou would have been overjoyed. However, the colossal white sword energies were multiplying, with several attacks appearing almost every second. Sometimes, they would completely seal off his escape, leaving him no choice but to temporarily exit the Blackfall Waterfall and evade the attacks, sustaining injuries in the process.

"Come on, Xu Xiaoshou!""Just hold on a little longer, and I'll have enough fan money!"Xu Xiaoshou's eyes were filled with determination. The terrifying attacks couldn't defeat him. If it weren't for avoiding a larger loss for a minor gain, he could have maxed out "Robustness," but that would clearly be irrational.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"Two more large gashes were cut, making Xu Xiaoshou wince in pain. Before he could even leave the Blackfall Waterfall, the white sword energy above suddenly fractured and vanished, leaving him momentarily stunned.

"What's going on? Has it lost its power?""No! You have to keep going!"Xu Xiaoshou immediately grew anxious. Just then, his entire body trembled, and his spiritual sense sent a death warning.

He abruptly looked up to see the area above the black waterfall completely shrouded in white, as countless colossal white sword energies descended. Xu Xiaoshou almost peed himself. Under the confirmation of his "Perception," he realized he hadn't seen wrong.Those weren't just white sword energies; they were all colossal white sword energies!

"What the hell? Are you serious about not playing fair?!"It was too late to jump out of the waterfall. In the nick of time, Xu Xiaoshou immediately maxed out his fundamental passive skill."Robustness.""It's really Grandmaster level..." He stared at the information panel, momentarily stunned.

His joy lasted only a moment. The next second, he was struck by the terrifying, colossal white sword energy and plunged into the bottom of the black pool, sending water splashing several feet high. The surroundings were pitch black; he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

Xu Xiaoshou twisted his neck, straightening it, and realized he was deeply embedded in the bottom of the pool. He touched his neck, still filled with lingering shock.

"Just a little pain..." After being struck by such horrifying sword energy, apart from his head being slightly askew, he was completely unharmed."Is this the power of a Grandmaster?"

Xu Xiaoshou thought of Elder Sang's "Cinderflame Heavenly Burn." Previously, he hadn't thought this tormenting spiritual technique was particularly amazing, but now that he had reached this realm... This is a divine skill, seriously! Compared to breaking through the continent's shackles and entering the Grandmaster realm, the pain endured before achieving true rebirth was almost negligible.

Pain for a moment, toughness for a lifetime—who wouldn't want that? With such formidable toughness, even Tier 10 or Tier 9 spiritual artifacts probably couldn't pierce his skin in the slightest!

"This is a bit too abnormal..."After forcefully entering the Grandmaster realm using skill points, Xu Xiaoshou felt nothing but admiration for those who truly broke through their shackles on their own and entered this realm."True men!"

The step from Innate to Grandmaster was truly exaggerated. To be completely unharmed by the colossal white sword energy, one could only imagine the immense suffering others had to endure before truly breaking through.

A foul smell reached his nostrils, and Xu Xiaoshou immediately knew he was expelling impurities again. An almost perfect Innate body still had such an unbearable odor... Xu Xiaoshou declared he couldn't stand it. He sprang up like a nimble monkey, rebounding directly from the deep pool and soaring into the air.

Indeed, a layer of dark grime covered his skin! A single wash in the waterfall immediately cleansed him thoroughly. His body was incredibly sturdy, faintly glowing with spiritual light, and carried a subtle fragrance—it was truly extraordinary. Xu Xiaoshou nodded, highly satisfied.

"Hmm? Something's wrong?""Why isn't it striking anymore?"He looked up. The white sword energy no longer targeted him; it simply descended from the sky on its own, seemingly having lost all interest in Xu Xiaoshou after that last attack.

"Don't stop! I'm not dead yet, keep going!"Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the bottom of the information panel:"Passive Points: 288666."Not even 300,000!There's still a long way to go to reach 450,000 for the fan money!

But no matter how much he called out, or even vigorously released his sword intent, there was no response from above, as if the ordeal was over. Xu Xiaoshou was so frustrated his teeth ached. This was too useless! But if it wouldn't respond, he couldn't farm Passive Points anymore.

He leaped out of the waterfall and landed on the ground beside it. Xu Xiaoshou felt a little dejected, but overall, he was still very happy. Even though he hadn't reached 300,000, there was still a small joy in his points breaking past this height for the first time. If this were converted into previous lottery draws...Nearly 300 draws!At that calculation, Xu Xiaoshou was startled, finding some comfort in it.

"That's not bad. I wasn't planning on exchanging it for Passive Points anyway. That doesn't align with my character, Xu Xiaoshou. Entering the waterfall was mainly for cultivation... farming points was secondary."Waving his hand dismissively, Xu Xiaoshou remembered something and looked at his special passive skill:"Passive Punch."What's going on? After being hit for so long, it only has a charge value of 2.11?

His head felt a bit dizzy. The cap for this "Passive Punch" was somewhat terrifying. Did he have to be beaten to death for it to reach 10? He was tempted to test the skill's power but held back. Even though the value was only 2.11, he firmly believed that the ton of beatings he'd endured had accumulated absolutely formidable energy, which he mustn't waste. It would be best to land a punch squarely on Zhang Xinxiong's face and then see the effect; that would be really satisfying!

"Time to check the haul!"The Blackfall Waterfall was taking a rare break, and Xu Xiaoshou was tired too. With nearly 300,000 Passive Points accumulated, he grandly surveyed the red interface. Not all passive skills needed to be fully upgraded at this moment; the road ahead was long, and there was no rush. As long as he chose the best to upgrade, his 300,000 points should be sufficient.

"Regardless of anything else, I'll first reserve 100,000 for the 'Awakening Pool'—ten awakenings... hmm, even if it doesn't succeed, I should still try out the new feature.""That leaves 180,000...""Robustness" was already maxed out, so that's excluded, leaving eight major passive skills.

"The three major basic passive skills are all tempting, but I can't give much to them. Let's go with 'Endless Life' first; that's a divine skill."Life and death were paramount. Without hesitation, Xu Xiaoshou immediately went for it. This was a passive skill that could save his life at a crucial moment. No matter how high or strong his attack, nothing was more practical than staying alive.

"Endless Life."Vast life force surged within him, making his precious body glow even brighter. Xu Xiaoshou groaned in comfort.But... 50,000 was gone...His mouth twitched. After fighting for his life, money was flowing out like water!
