Bai Pu admired the shield.

The shield was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, resting on the ground, it was almost as tall as Bai Pu's chest! As long as he set up the shield and leaned forward, it would completely cover him, blocking all attacks from the front.

As for the color, the shield was a pale bone color with dark gold patterns on the surface, outlining the face of a beautiful and sinister woman.

The sinister woman's face looked exactly like the humanoid head of the Demon Spider Lady! She appeared to be asleep, and if you stared long enough, you seemed to see a slight tremor of breathing.

This shield was like a living organism!

Sure enough, it was Demon Ghost equipment, so sinister and with a negative demon nature effect—Bai Pu checked it out, the demon nature effect was long-lasting, influencing one's temperament to become irritable and bloodthirsty. Of course, people with strong willpower and strong obsession could resist this effect.

Demon nature was a trial every Ghost Warrior had to face. In the Heart Demon World, Ghost Warriors often fell into darkness due to lack of a steadfast mind.

Bai Pu wasn't worried about it; he considered himself to have strong willpower and determination, at least not worse than Dongbo Cheng. No matter how strong the demon nature of this Demon Ghost equipment was, could it surpass Dongbo Cheng's Peacock Feather?

Bai Pu noticed the words "Growth Potential" after the equipment's name.

Evidently, the Black Emperor's True Blood gave it the potential to become Dark Gold equipment—perhaps combined with the effect of the Demon Spider Lady's remains.

Bai Pu remembered that the Demon Spider Lady's remains should contain a drop of Pure Blood of its own! This shield, having received a drop of Pure Blood, should possess some evolutionary trait.

As for how to evolve it into Dark Gold equipment, Bai Pu had a clue, hidden within the "Explanation" text—

Devour a Lord's corpse!

The template of Spirit Realm creatures, from low to high, are: Weak, Ordinary, Elite, Enhanced Elite, Leader, Enhanced Leader, Lord.

Lord represents absolute power, with a base priority as high as 6 points! Attributes and combat specialization in all aspects almost crush the Leader. This shield's evolution into Dark Gold equipment is no easy feat.

After the Spider Demon Egg was solidified into equipment, Bai Pu stored it in his Storage Space.

[Side Mission 2: Spider Demon Egg completed.]

With the prompt from Spirit Realm Will, Bai Pu gained another amount of experience points! His professional experience bar was quickly filled up to Level 3 and 100%!

[You have reached the critical experience value of a Mid-level Awakened. You will have the opportunity to trigger a second job transfer mission.]

[Warning: The final profession template obtained from the second job transfer is based on the difficulty of your mission and completion evaluation score. It may be weaker than your current template!]

[You can also give up the possibility of a second job transfer mission, directly advance to Level 4. However, if you do so, when your professional level reaches the critical value of an Advanced Awakened, the second job transfer mission will be triggered again.]

"No, I want to keep the opportunity for a second job transfer!" Of course, Bai Pu would not give up the chance for a second transformation; this was a crucial step for his promotion to a Hero Profession!

After making his choice, Bai Pu's experience bar locked at 3rd level 100%.

The magnificent starry sky in front of him gradually unfolded! He had completely left the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath, entering the settlement interface.

If someone stood on the cliff of the Heart Demon World and looked down, they would find Bai Pu's "Phantom" had already vanished without a trace.

In the starry sky, giant images flipped rapidly.

Eerie headless corpses, endless black swamps, perilous Yellow Pools, fearless Blood Shavers...not to mention the intimidating Demon General Ghost Leather and Hunting Scythe!

The final image froze on Dongbo Cheng's smile, capturing the moment when Bai Pu and Dongbo Cheng left the Black Swamp and completed the main line Mission 2.

[Plane World: Heart Demon: Oath]

[Time Taken: 5 days 13 hours 52 minutes 21 seconds]

[Time: Yongzheng Period]

[Scope: Black Tortoise Mountain Range]

[Based on your completed tasks and evaluations, you received a reward of 8644 Spiritual Points.]

[You accumulated 920 points of world reputation in the Heart Demon: Oath Plane. Your fame level in the Heart Demon: Oath Plane is C-level: Slightly Famous.]

[You received a C-level title: Double-Edged Sword.]

[Double-Edged Sword: When wearing this title, all damage you deal increases by 15%, and all damage you take increases by 15%.]

Bai Pu found the title Double-Edged Sword to be quite nice.

Bai Pu's strong damage reduction ability meant that the 15% increase in damage taken would definitely be mitigated, adding very little in reality.

But the 15% damage increase was still critical for Bai Pu.

His current power value was almost on par with a berserker of the same level, and with the Wind-Seeking special effect, wielding the Sharp Long Saber produced considerable output.

One slash, with a 15% damage increase, could potentially result in a disabling effect! That was a transformation.

[Limit Breaker] is a hidden passive title that remains effective even if not worn.

The previously obtained C-level title [Eagle Eye] had already been replaced by the Nine Chapters detection skill, which came with Kan Ze's headscarf, so Bai Pu naturally swapped it out.

The reward of more than 8000 Spiritual Points, combined with Bai Pu's accumulation in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene and the Heart Demon: Oath World, reached about thirty thousand now.

This also didn't include the gold bars and silver ingots Bai Pu possessed, which could be sold to Spirit Realm Will for a total of 17000 Spiritual Points.

This trip to the Heart Demon: Oath World could truly be described as hitting a jackpot.

Of course, this was also related to Bai Pu specializing in high-level missions; an ordinary Level 3 Enhanced Elite Profession wouldn't have the capacity to continuously kill about twenty elite-level demons, even a leader demon and mid-level enhanced elite in just five days!

In the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene, Bai Pu's level was far below that of the natives, mostly having to follow the strong natives and pick up scraps.

However, in the Heart Demon: Oath World, the native level was not high, and Bai Pu initially tasted the thrill of sweeping through—a feeling he avoided when facing Demon Generals.

Bai Pu immediately noticed something different in this settlement interface compared to the last one in the Flesh and Blood Plague: Origins settlement interface.

A starlight ball appeared in front of him.

Above this starlight ball, the word "Equipment Enhancement" was projected in virtual shadows.

Of course, to enhance equipment, you first had to repair the equipment to 100% durability.

Bai Pu was concerned about the two Demon Generals who had entered the Demon Abyss ahead of him, so he began to inquire: "How long can I stay in the settlement interface? Is the flow of time the same as the outside world?"

Spirit Realm Will responded with:

[Awakened ones' stay in the settlement interface lasts as long as their remaining free exploration time in the Spirit Realm Plane. Currently, you can remain in the settlement interface for: 9 days 10 hours 7 minutes 39 seconds.]

[Time flow in the settlement interface is synchronized with the outside world.]

Bai Pu started, suddenly jumping up like a startled rabbit. He first shouted, "Repair all my equipment to full durability," then quickly listed his equipment for enhancement.
