Chapter 889: Chapter 889 - 408: The Long Novice Period

[Attribute: 544.]

This is the gain from Fang Yu’s battle.

Absolutely unbeatable!

Fang Yu had never been this wealthy before.

And this is just after coming to the wilderness; Fang Yu couldn’t even imagine how much his strength would soar when he returned.

No Shu Bird Demon, no Hall Master or Family Head can stand in his way!

With wealth in hand, Fang Yu almost felt like looking down his nose at the world.

With a thought, Fang Yu casually suppressed his demonic transformation progress.

[Attribute: 544→469.]

[Spirit: 112.7→187.7.]

[Demonization: 75%→0%.]

To be honest, this isn’t good news; it’s not good news.

Before a breakthrough in realm, the maximum physique is only 300 points.

This also means the spiritual power limit is just 300 points.

The margin of error for himself is just over 110 attribute points, along with the original 100% demonization tolerance.

Must raise the realm to continue increasing the margin of error.

And to cut back.

The consumption of the Yuan Demon Body is too high, so in the future, use demonization first whenever possible; only if that doesn’t work, use the more consuming Yuan Demon Body.

Having thought about the future course of action, Fang Yu turned his gaze to the cultivation technique.

After all this, he could surely advance to the High-level Wood Realm, right?

Just when he was about to allocate points, a bewildering system prompt suddenly appeared.

[System Prompt: Detected remaining attribute points meet the standard for advancing to High-level Tree Realm, formally exiting the novice period, and about to disable the [Novice Protection] mechanism.]

What...is this?

Novice...Protection?

Fang Yu’s pupils slowly dilated.

No matter how he looked at it, he almost couldn’t recognize how these four characters were written.

Novice...Protection??

System, do you know what you’re talking about?

I’m a Middle Stage Tree Realm Martial Artist, soon to be High-level Tree Realm!

And you’re telling me that my previous levels were all within the novice period??

Are you kidding me??

Honestly, Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

He’s been playing this game for over two months, but hasn’t felt a hint of care that a novice should receive.

And now you’re telling me the novice protection period is over.

What the hell!

Fang Yu frowned, staring at the system, only to see another system prompt pop up.

[System Prompt: Congratulations player on leaving the [Novice] phase, the [Dynamic Experience Boost] effect is about to be removed.]

[System Prompt: [Dynamic Experience Boost] effect has been removed.]

Dynamic Experience Boost?

What is that?

As far as Fang Yu knew, players earn experience points from everything they do.

Whether it’s chopping wood, blacksmithing, refining medicine, gathering, running, or carrying heavy objects...

Every move a player makes in the game earns experience points, but most actions yield very limited experience points.

Fang Yu had the option of slaying demons as a path, so he generally didn’t pay attention to those experience points.

But not paying attention doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

This reward has been there all along.

Fang Yu didn’t think much of it, but now it seems... it was indeed a bit unusual.

I’m already in the Tree Realm, yet I can still enjoy the same experience rewards as new players who just entered the game.

With martial arts training, I would receive solid experience points, enjoying the same treatment as a new player.

Now that this feature is removed, does it mean I won’t get experience points from martial arts training anymore?

Honestly, Fang Yu wasn’t too concerned about this part, since he wasn’t relying on these bits and pieces to level up.

The main concern is the experience points from fighting monsters.

That part can’t be affected...

Fang Yu glanced around, looking for traces of demons to run an experiment.

At this moment, they had already left the Mist Grass cluster and were traveling on a patch of low, rocky terrain.

All around were stones of various sizes, which did block the view somewhat, but it was much better than the Mist Grass cluster with leaves three to four meters high that obstructed the vision much more.

"What’s wrong?"

Ling Huxiang noticed Fang Yu’s movements and immediately became a bit more vigilant.

"Is there something happening?"

This made Fang Yu feel a bit awkward.

Just as he was about to shake his head, he suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Ling Huxiang, with your strength at the High-level Tree Realm, where do you rank in the entire Cultivation World?"

"Cultivation World?"

Ling Huxiang seemed slightly taken aback by this term, as it was evidently not commonly used.

She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Hmm... I sort of understand your idea, but you might be overestimating yourself."

"With strength like ours, in Tianyuan Town, we could be considered this."

Ling Huxiang made a thumbs-up gesture.

A cut above?

That’s true; at the Foolish Underworld House Captain Level, it’s desirable wherever you go.

"But don’t get too happy too soon; if you really want to rank strength, there are so many people stepping on us, not to mention the distant ones, just a few Hall Masters can’t be compared to. The Hall Masters of the three major martial arts schools and the chief disciples are formidable, and it’s even unnecessary to mention the monsters from the Five Great Families."

"Even taking a step back."

"Just speaking of realm levels, High-level Tree Realm, do you really think that’s strong?"

"True, among us pure-blooded Humans, the High-level Tree Realm reaching near the Wood Realm is almost at the top."

"But don’t forget, in this world, there are demons, there are you Demon Martial Artists, and there are Believers. The Wood Realm is ultimately just... the limit of mortals; the real future belongs to you Demon Martial Artists and Believers."

"You shouldn’t reach for what’s beyond your grasp, but don’t underestimate yourself; any Demon Martial Artist has immense potential, it’s just about whether you can reach that step."

Listening to Ling Huxiang’s words, Fang Yu suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.
