Chapter 499: System Upgrade!
Just like what Tang Li Xue had expected, those black-clothed assassins could no longer track her as long as she has [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] activated.
But after Tang Li Xue was completely exhausted and decided to take rest to recover her stamina, they could immediately track Tang Li Xue again.
“These annoying scums! Oh, come on guys! Until when will you continue to follow me?! Do you all really not have any other target or work to do?!” Tang Li Xue complained while gnashing her pearl-white teeth in exasperation.
Tang Li Xue also realized that maintaining both [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] would drain her stamina rapidly, let alone if she also used [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to travel quicker.
So, it also made her waste more than half of her time resting and recovering his stamina!
In short, she would run out of time to participate in the Foxes Hunting Festival at this rate!
Just when Tang Li Xue was thinking hard about how to break out of this situation…
[Estimated completion time: 00:00:00]
[System upgrade has been completed!]
“System! Finally, you wake up from your sleep!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in excitement.
“Okay… First, open my status window! I want to see what has changed!” Tang Li Xue instructed with an impatient tone.

Her status window’s change was actually not much. Even Tang Li Xue only discovered a few differences.
First, her elemental spirit, Blue Phoenix of Pride, upgraded to Baby Form.
Although, Tang Li Xue did not know what was the difference, but she still knew that it means her Blue Phoenix of Pride had grown much stronger than before.
As for the second change…
“Hey, system! Why the hell did all of the stats I got from my cultivation disappear?” Tang Li Xue asked angrily.
[The added stats did not disappear. The system just simplifies it, so the host will not get confused.]
[According to the host’s current cultivation level, the overall stats increase will reach over 9,000.]
[However, it does not mean the stats from the cultivation level will perfectly superimpose with the host’s stats as a beast.]
[After all, the sources of those two powers are different. One is spiritual Qi, and the other is blood vitality.]
Tang Li Xue frowned and concluded: “I see what you mean there. So, since those two powers are from completely different systems… it means one plus one will not get two as the result… So, you decided not to include the stats from cultivation to the stats from the beast system, right?”
[Exactly correct!]
After getting the answer, Tang Li Xue did not bother to care about it anymore.
As long as her system did not deliberately downgrade her power and make her weaker, Tang Li Xue did not really care what her system wrote in her status window.
Then the third change should be the added information about her martial arts and equipment.
But it seems only the equipment she got from the system would be recorded in her status window since it did not write anything about the [Frost Swan Sword]… Well… Although, it was already broken.
“System, can you introduce your new features after you got upgraded?” Tang Li Xue tried to ask her system.
[Of course, host.]
[The first update is about skills and divine abilities.]
[Combining any skills and divine abilities will be completely free without any skill point cost from now on.]
“Wha… What?! Free?! For real?!” Tang Li Xue stammered in shock and excitement.
[Yes, but with the condition that all the required combining skills must reach the [mastered] level.]
“So, the skills must reach [mastered] level first before it can be combined into divine ability…” Tang Li Xue nodded in understanding.
[Host does not need to worry since the host can also pay some skill points now to quickly increase the skill level.]
Tang Li Xue felt as if she was doused with cold water.
She thought her system has became kinder and given her a big discount, who knew that it actually asked her to spend the skill points to increase her skill level instead right now?!
“System, why do I think that you are becoming more and more like MLM sales?” Tang Li Xue asked in annoyance.
[Thank you for the praise, host.]
Tang Li Xue: “…..”
Jokes aside, Tang Li Xue still thought that the new update could make her save some skill points to buy more new skills in the future. Well… as long as she was patient enough to not uselessly spend her skill points to increase her skill level.
“Any other new updates other than this?” Tang Li Xue asked again curiously.
[The second update is about equipment.]
[Host should have already noticed that every piece of equipment Host obtains from the system has the level.]
[Host can now level up your equipment’s level by paying some Deity Coins.]
Tang Li Xue almost got a heart attack when she read the information given by her system.
“Deity Coins again?! Come on, system! I am already short of Deity Coins to comprehend the new cultivation technique, and now you are adding one more way to spend Deity Coins?! System… you are indeed very ruthless!” Tang Li Xue scolded while gritting her teeth in resentment.
[Thank you for the praise, host. You are welcome.]
Tang Li Xue: “…..”
“System, please just stated all of your updates at once before I really got a heart attack!” Tang Li Xue muttered with a frustrated tone.
[The last update is the system mall has already been opened for Host.]
[All the items sold in the system mall are consumable items that the host has already obtained through completing quests before. So, if Host acquires other new consumable items, they will also be sold in the system mall in the future.]
[Host can check it on the system mall window anytime.]
“System mall?” Tang Li Xue murmured doubtfully and tried to open the system mall window.
[Recovery Pill: 1000 Deity Coins]
[Stamina Pill: 1000 Deity Coins]
[Detoxification Pill: 1000 Deity Coins]
[Comprehension Pill: 3000 Deity Coins]
[2 Times EXP Card: 1000 Deity Coins]
“Expensive! What the hell with this price?! It is all so extremely expensive!” Tang Li Xue shouted in disbelief.
“Emm… System, I still have six [2 Times EXP Card]. Can I sell it to the mall?” Tang Li Xue tried to ask.
[Sorry, but Host can only buy items from the system mall, not sell. Since it is called MALL, not scrap store. The system mall will never serve any returns of goods after you buy them, so never think about it!]
Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched in anger.
“What the hell?! Aren’t this damned system mall too realistic?! I thought it would be the same as in the game! Something like we can sell the item at half of the buying price! Worst online mall ever! Zero star review!” Tang Li Xue complained in frustration.
After calming down, Tang Li Xue asked again: “Oh, right… Why doesn’t this system mall sell [Lucky Sticker], [Substitute Doll], [Restoration Elixir], and all kinds of lottery tickets? Those should be consumable items too, right? Those kinds of items are the ones I need the most!”
[Because those are special consumable items. The host can only obtain those items by completing the system quest.]
Tang Li Xue immediately closed the system mall window, since she could not afford to spend her precious Deity Coins to buy these extremely expensive consumable items.
‘All right… I have more than 1500 accumulated free stat points. I should just use all of them to increase my strength.’ Tang Li Xue decided in her mind.
Strength: 1,500 —> 1,900
Agility: 1,500 —> 1,900
Toughness: 1,000 —> 1,400
Spirit: 1,100 —> 1,500
A huge amount of energy spread around Tang Li Xue’s slender body in that instant.
Tang Li Xue suddenly fell down onto the ground as she was writhing in pain because of the huge amount of energy strengthening and tempering every part of her body and spirit.
Even her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment] were automatically canceled right now.
