After the little girl was killed by Xu Ning, the street lamp stopped flickering after that.
Xu Ning did not stay there any longer and went straight home.
"This kick of mine is a level 3 demon and a level 4 demon. I should be able to fight them."
In the room, Xu Ning thought this, but soon he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
According to what Aili said, a middle-level demon was completely different in terms of power compared to lower-level demons. Other than the slayers who were relatively weak, the other two types seemed to be quite strong.
Just the evil mage's fire magic alone was enough to make him wish he was dead.
"It seems that to fight against a middle-level demon, I need to be stronger."
After thinking deeply for a while, Xu Ning muttered.
He was now being targeted by a mid-level demon. Although he had Aili to protect him, he really did not want to call her Aili unless it was absolutely necessary.
As for why, it was fine if he could not fuck his wife in bed, but if he could not win a fight outside, he would have to call his wife to fight for him. He would not be able to keep his face as a man.
"I just happen to have attribute points. It should be enough to move onto the second level of the cultivation technique. Let's give it a try."
In order to deal with the impending danger, Xu Ning had to become stronger as quickly as possible.
"System, how many points does the second level of the cultivation technique require?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice rang out, [Two points!]
[Does the owner choose to use two points to upgrade the cultivation technique?]
The moment he heard that it would only use two points, Xu Ning was instantly overjoyed. He could not wait to reply, "Yes!"
Xu Ning closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. At this moment, his brain was working at a high speed.
Just as he was deducing the cultivation method, a blood-red figure slowly floated past in the Somersault Neighborhood. Which was the neighborhood where Xu Ning bought his new house.
Ten minutes later, the system's voice sounded again.
[Ding, upgrade completed.]
The second level of the cultivation method's entire knowledge appeared in Xu Ning's mind. Because this knowledge was given by the system using his brain, he did not need to comprehend it at all. He immediately learned all of it.
Of course, learning it was not enough. The cultivation technique's realm had to be improved by self-cultivation.
Just as the system finished speaking, a strange cracking sound came from Xu Ning's body. The aura on his body began to surge!
After another ten minutes, Xu Ning opened his eyes and looked at the impurities removed from his body with some disdain.
The stench was no less than that of the level-three demon ghost from before.
"It stinks. Let's go take a shower."
Xu Ning could not stand the stench anymore. He grabbed a towel and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out and continued to lie on the bed, he suddenly thought of something.
He had already reached the second level of the cultivation technique and had eliminated so many filthy impurities. His strength should have increased as well.
At the thought of this, Xu Ning could not sit still anymore. He said, "Check the interface."
[Name: Xu Ning]
[Race: Normal human]
[Strength: 103 (Peak of normal people: 10)]
[Agility: 98 (Peak of normal people: 10)]
[Thinking: 76 (Peak of normal people: 10)]
[Yang Qi: 2,000 (Peak of normal people: 100)]
[Remaining strengthening points: 1]
"What the f*ck! I have 2,000 Yang Qo?!"
Xu Ning's mouth was wide open as he looked at the Yang Qi data on the interface in disbelief.
"I've only reached the second level, and I've only strengthened it so much."
Xu Ning exclaimed that it was indeed worthy of being a top-tier cultivation technique practiced by a fantasy protagonist.
"Looks like the most important thing to do is to sleep with Aili. It shouldn't be too far away."
A smile appeared on Xu Ning's face. He began to fantasize about how Aili would beg for mercy in the future.
Tss...tss...tss...
"Huh?"
Due to the advancement of his cultivation technique, Xu Ning's physical body had been greatly improved. At this moment, his hearing was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary person's.
At this moment, he heard a discordant sound coming from outside.
Then, he clearly felt the surrounding temperature drop drastically. The lights in the room were also extinguished at this moment, and the surroundings fell into pitch-black darkness.
[Ding, evil spirit detected. Target assessment, level four...]
Xu Ning's expression also became solemn at this moment.
He knew that it...was coming!
Xu Ning stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the house to the corridor.
As expected, a blood-red figure was walking down the street of the residential area.
It seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact, with every step it took, its body would disappear, and then it would reappear a few meters away in the next moment.
On the road it passed by, the streetlights at the side all emitted a discordant electric current sound, and then they were extinguished.
Xu Ning stared at the demon below, who was wearing a blood-red wedding dress and emitting a strange black fog, and his palms could not help but break out in cold sweat.
This time, it was different from the past. He felt a strong sense of pressure from it.
[Is this the middle-level demon?]
Looking at the dark floor around him, Xu Ning knew that he was already in its ghost realm.
"Phew!"
Xu Ning took a deep breath and looked at the blood-red demon that was still some distance away from him. Then, he turned around and walked into the house.
Judging from the demon's aura, if she only knew how to use brute force, she would definitely not be its opponent. Fortunately, Zhao Dezhu had given him two spells and one cultivation technique this afternoon.
At this time, Xu Ning only had one point left. He could go and strengthen his knowledge.
Xu Ning returned to the house and quickly found the two spells.
[Ding! You've found a five thunder secret technique (incomplete). Do you want to add one point to it?]
[Ding! I've discovered a fire separation secret technique (incomplete). Do you wish to add a single point to it?]
Without much hesitation, Xu Ning chose the fire separation secret technique. These two secret techniques were incomplete and did not have much of a difference from another. They were extremely effective against these demons.
"Add a single point to the fire separation secret technique."
[Ding! You have added a single point to the technique. Congratulations to the host for comprehending the complete version of the fire separation secret technique.]
In an instant, Xu Ning had completely comprehended the fire separation secret technique.
At this moment, the lights in Xu Ning's room suddenly lit up, followed by an ear-piercing sound of electricity. Finally, with a bang, the light bulb exploded, and glass shards scattered on the ground.
Dong dong dong...
There were a series of knocks on the door outside the room. Xu Ning opened his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he went to the main door.
Knock, knock, knock...
He did not need to guess to know who was knocking on the door.
"Is this a level-four demon? It's much more polite than the previous ones. At the very least, it knocks on the door."
Xu Ning sighed in his heart. If the previous few demons who had died by his hands heard this, they would probably be so angry that they would come back to life.
He did not wait for long before opening the door. After learning the fire separation secret technique, he felt much more confident.
"Huh? Where is he?"
After opening the door, Xu Ning did not see the figure of the blood-red demon.
At this moment, a cold wind blew behind Xu Ning, and a strange black fog enveloped the entire room. The room, which had already fallen into darkness, was now covered by a scarlet light.
Waves of mournful cries entered Xu Ning's ears...
