Doomsday: I Become Invincible By Picking Up

C4 – The Cat Demon

He obtained the Battle Saber from the Giant Zombie. To fully unleash its power, he needed to merge the Basic Saber Technique with the Battle Saber.

After leaving the shop, Loong Chen continued to look for zombies.

An hour later.

The head of a zombie was chopped off.

“Picking up done! Obtained empirical value*10.”

Within this hour, Loong Chen had traversed over a dozen streets, vanquishing more than 500 zombies. As a result, he accumulated over a thousand Attribute Points and empirical value.

“I wish to upgrade my Basic Saber Technique,” Loong Chen silently expressed his desire.

He focused his thoughts on leveling up his Basic Saber Technique.

“You have consumed 400 empirical value to elevate your Basic Saber Technique to level 4.”

“Continue to upgrade.”

“You have consumed 800 empirical value. Basic Saber Technique has been upgraded to level 5.”

“Congratulations! Your Basic Saber Technique has reached level 5 and will automatically progress to Saber Proficiency.”

Simultaneously with the system notification, the Battle Saber in Loong Chen’s hand began to vibrate intensely, emitting a resonating hum.

At that moment, Loong Chen also sensed a peculiar connection with the Battle Saber, as if he had honed his skills with it for two to three decades.

“I can actually advance to Saber Proficiency.”

Excitement filled Loong Chen’s face. He could sense that his strength had become even more formidable.

Over a dozen zombies charged towards Loong Chen, yet he didn’t attempt to evade. Instead, he rushed towards them, skillfully wielding the Battle Saber.

In the next moment, the heads of more than ten zombies separated from their bodies, tumbling to the ground as headless corpses.

If anyone knowledgeable in the art of Saber techniques witnessed this scene, they would be astounded, as Loong Chen’s swordsmanship could only be achieved through decades of arduous training.

Just as Loong Chen’s excitement remained concealed, a sudden cry of a cat echoed through the empty street.

Almost at the same time, a shiver coursed down Loong Chen’s spine. The Battle Saber in his hand emitted a buzzing sound—an alert for imminent danger. Such an ability was possessed by any skilled Saber Master.

At this moment, Loong Chen had no time to dodge. Instinctively, he positioned the Battle Saber in front of his chest.

The sound of nails scraping against metal reverberated. Four claw marks appeared on the Battle Saber.

Loong Chen could only discern a fleeting black shadow, unable to ascertain its nature.

“There are Attribute Points falling five meters away from you. Would you like to collect them?”

The system notification chimed in at that instant. Loong Chen urgently responded in his mind, instructing to pick them up.

“Picking up done! Obtained Cat Shadow Step Level 1.”

Cat Shadow Step: A natural ability of the Shadow Cat Demon. It bestows upon cultivators the ability to make their bodies as agile as a swallow and significantly enhance their speed.

When hearing the system notification, Loong Chen couldn’t help but feel astonished. He had acquired the innate skill of the mutated beast. It seemed too incredible to be true, didn’t it?

However, the enigmatic black shadow didn’t allow Loong Chen the luxury of contemplation. It launched another attack against him. Reacting swiftly, Loong Chen employed Cat Shadow Step.

Instantly, he sensed his body becoming weightless. In the next moment, he reappeared a meter away.

A black cat materialized in the very spot where he had previously stood.

“It’s the Shadow Cat Demon!”

Loong Chen was shocked. Details about this black cat emerged from his memory.

The Shadow Cat Demon had initially been an ordinary feral cat. However, following the apocalypse, it underwent mutation, acquiring an astonishing speed. Even some Evolvers struggled to perceive the Shadow Cat Demon’s movements clearly.

Loong Chen never expected to encounter the Shadow Cat Demon himself.

Witnessing the failed sneak attack, the Shadow Cat Demon transformed into a black shadow once again, launching an assault on Loong Chen.

Loong Chen let out a cold snort. Brandishing his blade, a glint of icy light flickered across the face of the Shadow Cat Demon, rendering its eyes unable to open.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Loong Chen swiftly slashed down with his blade. Immediately afterward, a wretched cry pierced the air.

The Shadow Cat Demon collapsed to the ground, convulsing. It was already lifeless.
