I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 68 Surprise, Reward; Organizing the Power System and Level Division

Tang Wu was quite surprised upon seeing this. "Boss, are you saying this is the material you found?"

Looking at the cold, hard black crystal in his hand, he could sense that the abnormal energy within it was different from that of other abnormal substances.

He quickly used a small knife made of an unusual golden substance to carefully cut off a small piece and polished it repeatedly.

Grind it into thin, pointed pieces.

Then, using a knife, drill a small hole in the small piece.

Finally, disassemble a black compass, remove the pointer, and install the newly polished semi-transparent black pointer.

An anomaly warning compass made of shadow crystals was quickly completed.

The two looked at the reaction above and found that the pointer kept swinging.

"It worked! It really is useful. Boss, where did you get these materials? How did you know we could use them?" Tang Wu looked at Ji Lin, feeling very surprised and delighted.

He didn't know why Ji Lin would suddenly visit, nor did he know why he would bring out such strange materials as soon as he arrived.

"I got this from the Li family. Actually, I don't know what its effects are. I only know that it can increase mental attributes. Who knew it could be made into this anomaly warning compass?"

Ji Lin waved his hand and laughed.

Then he took out some shadow crystals and put them on the table.

"These are extra rewards for you; you've done a great job."

"This anomaly warning compass is very useful in dealing with abnormal events, especially for martial artists who cannot sense abnormal energy."

"It can provide early warnings of the location of anomalies, greatly increasing their chances of survival in abnormal events."

"These evil-suppressing crossbows and anomaly warning compasses could be deployed to night patrol teams on a small scale."

As he spoke, he patted Tang Wu on the shoulder.

"Thank you, boss. The abnormal substance that increases mental attributes will be of great use to our breakthrough," Tang Wu said, cupping his hands in thanks.

"We're all brothers, no need to thank me. If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me. You're the most indispensable captain in the night patrol team."

After Ji Lin finished speaking, he left satisfied.

He thought that if these demon-suppressing crossbows and anomaly warning compasses were sold on a large scale, it would probably cause a sensation throughout Huaiding Prefecture.

It will definitely sell out when the time comes, but right now it's just a small workshop with low production capacity and limited materials, so it can't supply in large quantities.

We could contact Jubao Pavilion to see if we can discuss cooperation.

With the support of the two major forces, the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Treasure Pavilion, we will be able to easily obtain the ticket to the prefecture. Why should we be afraid of the covetousness of those three religions and nine schools of thought?

Thinking about this made me feel really happy.

"See you off, Boss. Take care and come visit us anytime." Tang Wu and the night patrol team watched Ji Lin board the carriage.

Working hard in this desolate wilderness without any entertainment facilities is something most people couldn't endure; even the night patrol members work in shifts.

Only someone like Tang Wu, who is not good at socializing, prefers solitude, and is dedicated to his studies, could stay there.

However, Ji Lin also allowed him to come and go freely. If he felt bored or depressed, he could go to the city to relax, and all expenses would be paid by the Ji family.

After returning to the Ji family mansion, he began to systematically organize what he had learned and try to summarize the prototype of his own power system.

In terms of classification, there are clear differences between warriors and abnormal individuals.

When he first came into contact with the Demon Blood, he only had 20 points of Agility, yet his speed was already faster than that of an ordinary Grandmaster Martial Artist.

The maximum attribute for an ordinary person is 10 points in all four dimensions, which is the attribute of an average martial artist before reaching the Grandmaster level.

When his four attributes reached 30 points, he underwent a transformation, becoming a half-human, half-demon.

At this point, his level was estimated to be at the early stage of the intermediate abnormality, which is the strength of a grandmaster.

When the four dimensions reached 50 points, he broke through the limit again and reached the realm of transcendence.

However, it is only at the mid-stage of moderately abnormal strength.

Based on the system's limit of 200 points, it can be seen that there is a significant difference in strength between the abnormal and awakened individuals in the middle to mid-stages.

The difference between 50 points in the mid-game and 200 points in the late game is like the difference in strength between an elephant crushing an ant.

This huge difference was beyond his imagination. Only after meeting Zhang Liang and Qin Feng did he realize the seriousness of the problem.

The current clear progression path for martial artists is: First-class master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Transcendent Saint, and Unknown.

The corresponding limits for the four-dimensional attributes are: 10 points, 30 points, 50 points, 200 points, and unknown.

Moreover, the abnormal progression path is: low level, medium level (early, mid, and late stages), advanced early stage, and unknown.

The corresponding limits for the four-dimensional attributes are: 30 points, 200 points, and unknown.

Specific anomaly breakdowns:

Demon: Low-rank soldier, mid-rank general, unknown.

Disaster: Low-level calamity, medium-level catastrophe, unknown.

Weird: Low-level wanderer, medium-level vengeful, high-level ferocious, unknown.

However, after experiencing so many unusual events, it would be more reasonable for the state government to categorize them according to the degree of harm.

For example, when facing low-level anomalies such as the initial Black Trolls and Faceless Monsters, they usually only harm a small area.

Even when facing slightly stronger monstrous water mites, they can at most only harm half of Xiong'an County.

However, when faced with medium-level disasters like the Blood Locusts and the eerie Dreamweaver Spiders, they could easily destroy a county town.

However, if the high-level, eerie Blood Lotus Mother is allowed to grow unchecked, the entire Huai Ding Prefecture may be sacrificed by her blood.

Further up, there are terrifying anomalies such as the Sand Beast and the Lone Sword Demon, whose dangers are even more unpredictable.

Then, returning to the differences between martial arts ranks, after encountering numerous martial arts practitioners, Ji Lin could roughly understand the differences.

The main difference between ordinary people and top-notch masters lies in their physique. Martial artists are physically robust and have strong blood and energy to support them, making their moves more powerful.

The difference between a first-rate master and a grandmaster lies not only in their physical differences, but also in the support of their internal strength. When external force is combined with internal force, they can easily shatter a mountain rock, and ten ordinary martial artists cannot easily get close to them.

The difference between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster is that a Great Grandmaster has a protective aura that makes them difficult to harm with ordinary swords and blades, unless the opponent is also a Great Grandmaster.

For example, Ding Wei, who challenged a martial arts school, could withstand Huang Yu's giant sword with his bare hands without being injured.

Once a martial artist reaches the level of transcendence, they can condense true energy and release it externally. They can also use true energy to protect their body and withstand fatal attacks.

For example, Li Quan, who uses the Yin Corpse Palm, unleashes a palm strike with all his might, releasing his true energy and instantly causing the earth to shake. He is the enemy that Ji Lin fears the most.

Ji Lin's advantage lies in the fact that he can be equipped with multiple skills, making his moves flexible, unpredictable, and difficult for enemies to defend against.

The built-in stat allocation system allows for effortless balancing of all four attributes, eliminating the need to specifically train any weak point.

They are more likely to reach the perfect state with all four attributes maxed out, and are more likely to break through bottlenecks than other awakened beings and warriors.

At this moment, an invitation from the state government's "Exotic Treasures Exchange Conference" filled him with mixed emotions...
