Chapter 496: Excessive amount of Soul Points

Translated by: La0o9

Proofreader: Arya

“You mean, if I want to unlock the new function of the War God System, I need to accept the call of the Bramble Birds?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Correct] the System answered.

“That’s great” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “not only will I get treasures from helping the Bramble Birds, I’ll also become stronger, it’s a win-win”

[Incorrect] the System replied.

“What is?”

[Bramble Birds are an extraordinary mystical creature, the worlds and items precious enough to be kept by it are also extraordinary]

[When such precious worlds run into any problems, the Bramble Bird would always choose to deal with it alone before anything else]

[If it doesn’t do that and instead call for outside help, then some sort of unimaginable danger must be involved in that world]

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

That certainly makes sense.

The System continued: [Furthermore, so as to receive the treasure of the Bramble Bird, it is very easy for large-scale bloodshed to happen between participants—— as countless of examples from history can prove]

Gu Qing Shan’s smile went away completely.

He only needed to think about it briefly to understand how dangerous it was.

“Does the Bramble Bird ignore the killing of fellow participants?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

[Survival to the fittest is a law of nature, and the Bramble Birds agree with it]

“That is… not simple” Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.

[Indeed, as the Bramble Birds are mystical creatures of the Mystic Zones, not even powerful Combatants are willing to mess with them for no reason]

[Please proceed with caution]

“Alright, I’ll make sure to be on my guard when I go” Gu Qing Shan said.

[No, you still cannot go yet]

“Why not?”

[Only living beings of the 900 million World Layers are qualified to accept the call of the Bramble Birds, but you belong outside of the 900 million World Layers, a person of a Scattered world]

“People of the Scattered worlds aren’t qualified to accept their call?”

[Correct, you must obtain a universally recognized identity within any of the 900 million World Layers to be able to accept their call]

“Universally recognized?”

[Correct, only then will that world accept and form a link with you, recognizing you as one of its people]

“…How do I get universally recognized?”

[At least 1/3rd of the people of a world must accept your identity]

As Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about what that meant, he felt amazed.

You need to have an official identity to be able to accept the call of the Bramble Birds!

Besides the Justice Iron Fist Club, I’ve never been to any other world, and getting universally recognized in a foreign world is easier said than done!

No wonder the System wanted him to think of a way to remain here, then still asked if he wanted to stay or not after he received permission to stay for one day.

There are only a total of 2 people in the Justice Iron Fist Club.

So it should be the easiest Super Dimensional world to be universally recognized in.

——how many secrets does the System know exactly?

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and thought for a long while.

I need to become a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club… but both Barry and Kitty don’t want to involve someone else in their debt.

While he was thinking, all the lights in the club shut down.

Barry pulled a monster out from the club by its leg.

“Look, today’s spoils” Barry triumphantly declared.

He brought the monster in front of Gu Qing Shan and Kitty.

Kitty stopped her writing.

She leapt from her chair, looking at it excitedly.

The powerful devil who wiped out 3000 civilized worlds, titled [Terminator], was now lying on the ground like a common mob character.

“This is the great devil from before?”

While asking, Kitty poked it with her pen.

The monster didn’t move at all.

This monster didn’t actually look like a devil, more like a wild boar.

The only difference was that its four legs were much thicker than normal wild boars.

No matter who it was, if they take a look at it, the first word they’d think of is ‘ham’

Kitty circled around the monster once.

Barry asked: “Can we really eat this thing?”

“We should be able to” Kitty answered: “Chef Cheng of Gourmet soup kitchen once told me that every powerful devil has a certain piece of meat on their body. A top-grade cooking ingredient that is both delicious and beneficial…”

Barry and Kitty exchanged looks and swallowed their saliva.

Gu Qing Shan was speechless as he watched this.

He suddenly realized something.

The space monster that caused these two to have a stomach ache for several days in a row they talked about before was probably also captured the same way as this thing.

“Gu Qing Shan, do you think this thing can be eaten?” Kitty turned around and asked him.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the wild boar.

——no, the devil.

This boar-like devil was still in a near-death state.

Gu Qing Shan had an idea.

He stepped forward, grabbing the Earth sword from the void of space.

“Let me take a look”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan tried swinging the Earth sword.

When the heavy Earth sword connected with the devil’s supposed weak spot – his throat – it bounced back.

One of Gu Qing Shan’s full-power slash was not able to even finish off a near-dead devil!

The Earth sword then told Gu Qing Shan: “This is a powerful devil, you need to pump all the Soul Points you have left into me to be able to slash his throat”

“Good!” Gu Qing Shan spoke without hesitation.

Barry who was watching from the side asked: “You need me to do it?”

“I’ll try again” Gu Qing Shan answered.

An invisible wind flow drifted about Gu Qing Shan before concentrating on his sword.

The Earth sword began to vibrate.

It was ready to strike.

Gu Qing Shan only had 1100 Soul Points left, which he used up just now.

Both Barry and Kitty raised their brows a bit.

Who would’ve thought, the power we felt from this young man wasn’t his true strength at all.

So his true strength requires Soul Points to be used.

Soul Points… is a type of origin power.

While being so weak, he could already control and use Soul Points.

Seems like we need to re-evaluate him outside of his cooking and cocktail mixing skills.

The brother and sister thought that briefly.

“If we want to eat it, I’ll have to prepare it right away after it’s dead, otherwise the ingredients won’t be fresh anymore”

Gu Qing Shan only said that.

The Earth sword’s blade swung down.

Slash!

His head was severed from his neck.

The boar devil was killed.

A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[You’ve used up all your Soul Points]

[Despite the massive difference in power, you managed to kill the powerful devil known as Terminator]

[You’ve received an excessive amount of Soul Points from the Terminator]

[The amount of Soul Points received is too great, the War God System is currently processing the accurate number]

[Reminder: With so much Soul Points, you may advance to the next realm right away, or learn the Taiyi Sword Array]

[Would you like to advance to the next realm?]

Gu Qing Shan grabbed the devil’s hand and silently spoke: “Now’s not the time for that, I need some Soul Points to activate [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to look into this thing’s body composition”

The System replied: [To comprehend the mystery of this devil’s body composition, 10000 Soul Points is required, deducted from the Soul Points received]

[To turn into this devil, you need to spend all Soul Points received]

Gu Qing Shan instantly replied: “I only need to comprehend, not turn into it”

[Understood, 10000 Soul Points had been used]

With the devil’s head still in hand, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes.

In just a few seconds, he had already learnt the composition of the devil’s body.

And he found a miraculous piece of meat that indeed could be eaten.

Turning the boar devil belly up, Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at its body.

He found a natural rune formed from the Law of Purgatory.

This rune covered the devil’s large ribs.

Gu Qing Shan crouched down and cut off this rib with the Earth sword.

A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.

[Purgatory devil soft rib]

[The best cooking ingredient found in Purgatory, once cooked appropriately and eaten, it can greatly benefit your constitution and body]

[This is a relatively rare cooking ingredient, unbelievably savory and extremely nutritious]

[You’ve used Mystery of All Beings Equal to see the basic composition of this piece of meat, with your cooking skills, you should know full well how to prepare it]

Gu Qing Shan took the piece of meat and slowly stood up.

“This——– can be eaten?” Barry hesitantly asked.

“Wait a moment”

Gu Qing Shan inhaled deeply and entered a state of absolute focus.

Char-grilled beef ribs were his specialty.

But this wasn’t beef, it was pork—— it was devil’s ribs.

Even if he knows every last characteristic of this piece of meat, grilling a devil was still an unprecedented challenge.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out all his cooking utensils.

Carefully thinking over every step, only after he had determined the best cooking procedure did he begin to prepare the ingredients.

Barry and Kitty only silently watched him without saying a word.

They could feel Gu Qing Shan’s determination and focus.

Half an hour later.

A delectable alluring scent of food filled the entire Justice Iron Fist Club.

“How much longer until we can eat?” Barry’s mouth was watering as he asked.

“Only one last minute of grilling left!”

Gu Qing Shan’s hand was turning the meat to cook it while he answered.

Abruptly, a loud ‘pop’ came out from next to them.

A burly man wearing a cooking apron showed up out of nowhere.

“Chef Cheng!” Barry’s expression changed as he called out.

For this man to appear, Gu Qing Shan’s char-grilled ribs seemed quite extraordinary.

The burly man with the apron quickly stepped close to the ribs, then stared at Gu Qing Shan.

“Good! Good! You didn’t shame this precious ingredient at all” he sighed out of relief.

Immediately after, he loudly declared: “Barry, give me this grilled ribs and I’ll consider your debt to me paid”

Saying so, he reached out wanting to take the ribs.

“Don’t even think about it!” Barry shouted.

He instantly threw a punch and smashed a hole in space.

Like a hawk catching a baby bird, Barry grabbed and threw the burly man into the hole.

“Barry you asshole, I curse you to only eat raw space monsters for the rest of your life!” the burly man roared as he was reluctantly ‘escorted’ away.

“If that really happens, I’ll make you eat them first!”

Barry shouted back indifferently.

He grabbed both sides of the hole in space with his bare hands and pulled them together.

The hole closed up and disappeared.

When Barry was finished with that, so did Gu Qing Shan’s grilled devil ribs. historical

Gu Qing Shan divided the meat into three equal portions.

Barry, Kitty and Gu Qing Shan, one for each.

“Can we eat yet?” Kitty asked.

Gu Qing Shan sprinkled one final bit of spice onto the meat.

“Now you can” he said.

The three of them took the ribs in hand.

Gu Qing Shan stayed still.

Kitty first admired the scent of the ribs.

Silence.

Barry was the first to bite.

“Hoh hoh hoh, hoh hoh hoh hoh!”

Barry tilted his head up and began to cry.

“Bro, what happened?” Kitty was concerned.

“It’s so hot!!”

Barry wiped his tears and told her.

Gu Qing Shan had nothing to say: “It was just done grilling, can’t you wait for it to cool down first”

The three of them waited for a bit more.

Barry once again was the first to bite.

“It’s so good, to eat something this good, am I dreaming? Someone come smack me awake!!!!” Barry roared.

Seeing that, Kitty was assured.

She didn’t hesitate anymore and…

Began to eat!

Kitty took a few bites at first, but then she also began to silently wipe her tears.

“Why? Why do I feel a heartbreaking sourness right at the end of the bite” Kitty muttered.

“Because I slathered a thin layer of crushed garlic right at the end” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“No! I also know how to cook, mere crushed garlic definitely cannot reach this level!!” Kitty tapped the plate as she refuted.

“Then listen closely, my crush garlic was actually pickled in vinegar—- this is a secret ingredient, please don’t tell it to anyone else” Gu Qing Shan whispered.

“So that’s why!” Kitty sighed.

Three mouths, three ribs, ten seconds.

Dinner was over.

Gu Qing Shan checked himself a bit.

What a miraculous piece of meat, his body really was becoming stronger!

His body was now easily as strong as a Martial cultivator of the same level.

How unimaginable, among infinite worlds, you really couldn’t use the same cultivation common sense to judge anything accurately.

Barry was stunned, and at a bit of a loss.

This piece of meat really was beneficial to the body.

He could feel his wound getting better by the second.

“Kitty”

“What?”

“Let’s move away”

“Are you crazy? Where do you want to move to?”

“Purgatory”
