After endured the pain for more than ten minutes, the flow of the forces that were entering Huang Wen's body slowly reduced. It took almost another half an hour before nothing left but trickles.
"Ding! You learn passive skill : Bloodlust. During a fight, as the fight prolonged you will gain extra strength but with the cost of your spirit points. When you used all your spirit points and still in a fight, you will then enter a berserk state where you would no longer able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. In that state, you will kill any living being within your sight, until your stamina reached zero."
Huang Wen sighed, 'Such a dangerous passive skill...'
"Ding! You got 650 points of experience."
"You reach level 16. You got 2 points to spend on your stat."
"You reach level 17. You got 2 points to spend on your stat."
"You reach level 18. You got 2 points to spend on your stat."
Huang Wen thought for a while. He needed extra strength if he wanted to wield Baihu's Bastard Sword with ease. He would like to experiment with his vitality stat but if he didn't invest on his strength stat now, he wouldn't be able to freely use Baihu's Bastard Sword. It was either they threw that sword away or brought it with them as nothing but an extra burden, since no one could use it.
He did kill Baihu with it, but that was because Baihu was unable to move. If he didn't increase his strength now, it would not be possible to use that sword in a real fight. On the other hand, to gain another level was getting even harder now.
However, if he thought about it a bit further, his only way to efficiently improved his stats was to hunt more demon and he needed the bastard sword to properly challenge a demon.

"Passive Skills : 3rd eyes lvl. 1, Bloodlust lvl. 1."
"Equipment : Baihu's Bastard Sword."
Huang Wen slowly got up and staggered. His body was drenched in sweat.
Zhang Xuan hastily came over to help him.
He stumbled and fell on her arms, "Thanks...its okay, I just a bit dizzy that's all."
"Eww... you're completely wet...", said Zhang Xuan.
"Sorry...", said Huang Wen sheepishly, on one side he used the bastard sword, on the other side Zhang Xuan held him in her arms.
"Its okay... you better get a shower now.", said Zhang Xuan comforting him.
Huang Wen took a few deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I felt much better thanks...", said Huang Wen after a while.
"Look, these armors are good.", said Chen Yao, she and Xia Yue were collecting Baihu's armor.
They held it an arm away from their body, with face expressing disgustion. Chen Yao had Baihu's body armor while Xia Yue was checking on Baihu's boot and armband.
Huang Wen remembered Baihu's Bastard Sword and asked, "Are those imbued with magic too? Do they have some bonuses?"
Chen Yao nodded, "Yes, you're right. Does his sword had certain bonus?"
Huang Wen replied, "Yes, the sword has an effect called fear. It will induced fear to low level enemies. How about his armor?"
Chen Yao answered, "+5 on stamina and +5 on health."
Xia Yue said, "His armband gave +5 on strength and his boot gave +5 bonus on agility."
"Not bad... can I keep the sword with me? You could take my katana.", said Huang Wen to them.
"Sure, no problem, it's too big for us anyway.", Zhang Xuan answered him after looking for confirmation from her friends.
"Yes,she's right. It just too big for us. By the way do you want his armor too?", Chen Yao offered the armor in her hand to Huang Wen.
Huang Wen shook his head, "No... I think you should divide it among you three. I already had three levels from killing him and his sword. It would be too unfair if I keep his armors too."
"But his armor stinks...", Xia Yue complained.
Zhang Xuan and the other laughed.
"Don't act like a spoiled brat. We could wash it okay. Even if it smells, I wouldn't mind wearing it.", said Zhang Xuan.
"Then you should take this with you. I'll take the armband and Xia Yue take the boot. After all I focused on my strength a lot and Xia Yue focused on her speed. While you could focus on your spirit and needed a bit extra protection.", said Chen Yao, handed the armor to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, before took that armor from Chen Yao, "Okay, I think you're right but isn't a magician should wear robes or something like that?"
Huang Wen nodded, "Maybe later we'll meet a demon that focus on magic and have such items on his or her."
"So there are various demons as well, huh?", said Chen Yao as they walked together toward the fourth floor.
"I believe so, the first demon I met before was too weak so it's hard to tell what his specialization was, the second's most notable character, unfortunately only his perversion but this Baihu, obviously he was some kind warrior class.", Huang Wen answered Chen Yao's question.
"His name is Baihu?", Zhang Xuan asked.
"Yes, he introduced his name before we fight.", said Huang Wen.
"Oh... so that's why it's called Baihu's armor and so on. I thought it was supposed to be the maker, a style or something.", said Zhang Xuan.
"That's his name.", said Huang Wen.
"It seemed you have a bit respect for him?", Zhang Xuan carefully asked.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Sort of... he wasn't like the previous two demons... he rather ... how do you say it? Honorable... uhm... no...? Perhaps... dignified will describe him better.", Huang Wen answered after thought about it for a while.
"Hmmm so there are many kinds of demons... do you think we'll meet a demon who would ally with us?", Zhang Xuan asked.
Huang Wen saw them looking at him, "Hey... how would I know?"
"You're the one who has more experience in dealing with these demons.", said Chen Yao.
Huang Wen rubbed his chin and thought, "Well... my first impression of the first and second demons is that we can't trust their words but with this Baihu... No, I don't think we will find any demon who will help us. I can trust Baihu's words, but doesn't mean he is going to be friendly toward us. The difference between the first, the second and this third demon, its like, there are demons who try to trick you into drinking a poisonous wine, there are demons who want to do many perverted things to you before he killed you and there are demons who want to crack your head open."
Chen Yao sighed, "I guess you described them right..."
"By the way, thanks for your help. I think I will be killed by Baihu if you girls don't help me back then.", said Huang Wen sincerely.
Xia Yue answered and winked at him, "No problem. After all we could not let our sister became a widow before the wedding right?"
"Oh you little devil, shut your mouth would you?", Zhang Xuan exasperatedly slapped Xia Yue's arm.
"Big Brother... big brother, help, your wife wanted to hurt me...", said Xia Yue while running behind Huang Wen.
Zhang Xuan rolled her eyes and didn't know how to react. While Huang Wen was blushing as Xia Yue teased them both. Chen Yao simply clapped her hands and laughed.
"That's the bath room.", Zhang Xuan gave Huang Wen direction to the girls dormitory's bath room.
Ever since Baihu came, there was no zombie dared to venture as far as the second floor. They wandered around the first floor and some even explored the street. Without any demon rule them, they simply searched for "food" while instinctively tried to avoid stronger existence and that was including Huang Wen, Chen Yao and Xia Yue. Zhang Xuan's level was a bit too low to make the zombies avoid her.
Huang Wen gladly separated himself from the girls. Although Xia Yue and Chen Yao didn't tease them anymore, he still felt awkward around them. Especially since the desires of the second demon still resided in him.
"Okay, I'll get some clean clothes first... I left it in that room.", said Huang Wen and pointed at the room next to the girl's room, the room where he left his belongings before he jumped into their window.
He then explained how he tried to quietly sneak on the second demon. He easily broke the door with his new strength stat and his bastard sword. When he returned he already wore clean clothes and actually looked quite attractive with his hair wet and little beads of water still trickling from it.
For a moment, the girls were just looking at him with judging eyes. When he awkwardly scratched his head, Zhang Xuan silently laughed.
"Hi... we were talking about whether we had the strength to kill a demon or not. It seems killing demon is a faster way to improve our levels. What do you think about it?", said Zhang Xuan.
Huang Wen didn't answer right away. It wasn't easy for him to answer their question. His biggest worry was the side effect of absorbing the demon's soul essence. Killing zombies must be caused them to absorb their soul essence as well, but perhaps since the zombies no longer have their intelligence or perhaps due to the small amount of it, it didn't affect them much.
Since he was deep in his thought, unconsciously he sat next to Zhang Xuan, as if it was natural for him to sit next to her.
"Uhmm... what was your level when you killed the demon who wanted to consume us?", Zhang Xuan who was a bit flustered, quickly found a way to change the focus.
"Hmm... I think I was at level 11 at that time.", answered Huang Wen.
"Ah... that's good. I'm already at level 9 now and Xia Yue is at level 8. Zhang Xuan will need to improve her level a few levels more. But with your help, I think we could easily a demon at that perverted demon's level. What do you say?", said Chen Yao excitedly.
"Yes, we discussed about it and we think the reason why we can't hurt that perverted demon at all previously, was caused by our blunt weapon. Now we have two katanas. You can't kill Baihu before you use his big sword.", Xia Yue added.
"Hmm... I think so too...", Huang Wen nodded his head.
"What's wrong, you don't seem to be happy about it? Do you want to monopoly all the demon to improve your level?", Chen Yao asked, she seemed a bit annoyed.
"Don't say that... Brother Huang, if you have something in your mind, then you should tell us. Otherwise people might be miss understanding you.", said Zhang Xuan.
Huang Wen nodded and replied, "I'm sorry... there is something about killing these demons. There is side effect from killing them. Unlike killing zombies, when you kill a demon and absorb these things we call experience. There were residues of their desires and their personality that absorbed along with that power. Perhaps because zombies are mindless or maybe because the amount of power simply too weak, killing them didn't affect us much."
"Just for some comparation, kill 1 zombie and you got 1 point of experience. When I kill the pervert demon, I got about 400 points and when I kill Baihu I got more than 600 points."
"When I kill the first demon, it just gave around 100 points and I didn't notice any changes in me."
"But after I kill that one and Baihu....", Huang Wen hesitated.
