Chapter 2: Getting Stronger When Attacked by Demons

With trembling steps, Gu Qingfeng walked into the prison cell.

Inside the cell, the woman's smile became more and more seductive and dangerous.

Gu Qingfeng was like a puppet, as if he had lost his mind, walking towards the woman.

At this moment, the woman, looking at Gu Qingfeng who was close at hand, suddenly revealed a fierce and bloodthirsty smile. In the next second, her sexy and charming face suddenly changed.

A terrifying green-faced, fangs-baring face appeared. She had a bloodthirsty gaping mouth with long, gleaming fangs, and she fiercely bit at Gu Qingfeng's neck.

Just then, a voice sounded deep in Gu Qingfeng's soul.

"Host detected about to be attacked by a demon. The system for getting stronger by being attacked by demons is now activated."

"Ding!

You are under attack by a Corpse Goblin.

Defense +1"

The Corpse Goblin was taken aback, feeling as if it had bitten into a rock and couldn't bite through.

Gu Qingfeng regained a bit of clarity and could faintly hear a voice. Was it a system? Do I have a system too? Well, never mind that, what's more important than a beautiful woman?

With that, the last trace of clarity in Gu Qingfeng's eyes disappeared.

The Corpse Goblin, not giving up, bit at Gu Qingfeng's neck again.

"Ding!

You are under attack by a Corpse Goblin.

Defense +1"

"Damn it!"

What was that sound? Why does it keep bothering me? Gu Qingfeng was angry, he raised his head to find the source of the sound.

Little did he know that as soon as he looked up, he saw a terrifying green-faced, fangs-baring face.

"Ah! Ghost!" exclaimed Gu Qingfeng, jumping up as if he had been electrocuted.

It wasn't until then that he fully regained his senses and realized that he had just stepped into the path of a demon.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng struggle out of its grasp, the ghoul roared and pounced on him.

Gu Qingfeng felt his vision blur and suddenly he was thrown to the ground. Two gleaming fangs sank straight into his neck.

This was it!

In despair, Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes.

Ding!

You have been attacked by the ghoul.

Defense +1

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes wide, a look of ecstasy on his face.

It wasn't an illusion, there really was a system!

"System, are you there?"

"I'm here," the system replied coldly.

"What functions do you have?"

"This system is called the Become Stronger System When Attacked by Demons, and its only function is what it says on the tin. Please interpret it as you will."

Gu Qingfeng: "..."

"Will I be killed by demons while becoming stronger?"

"No, as long as it's a demon, it can't harm the host in the slightest, and will only make the host stronger."

With the system's affirmative answer, Gu Qingfeng was overjoyed.

He looked at the Corpse Ghost still pressing on him. Good Lord, the two big teeth kept gnawing at his neck.

Gu Qingfeng felt a chill, really damn ugly! He was almost scared out of his wits.

Smack!

Gu Qingfeng slapped the Corpse Ghost in the face and shouted, "Turn back into a woman and give her back to me!"

The Corpse Ghost was stunned. Not only had it failed to bite him, but it had also been slapped by this lowly human. It was furious and immediately grabbed Gu Qingfeng and lifted him up high.

And then threw him hard on the ground.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed through the prison cell. There must be an array in the cell, otherwise, the ground would have cracked long ago.

Ding!

You have been attacked by the Corpse Ghost.

Defense +2.

Oh hey? Gu Qingfeng smiled, +2? Is this Corpse Ghost getting angry?

Looks like he needs to continue to provoke her.

"Haven't eaten yet? Try harder! Oh, by the way, I seem to be your food. You really haven't eaten yet. Sorry for blaming you."

Roar!!!

The Corpse Ghost roared with anger, then raised its fists and fiercely smashed Gu Qingfeng's chest like a falling hammer.

Ding!

You have been attacked by the corpse ghost.

Defense +3.

It increased again!?

Gu Qingfeng was ecstatic, feeling warm currents continuously transforming his body, making his muscles, skin, and bones even tighter.

After the corpse ghost's first strike, it did not stop, but swung its hands in a circle, hammering Gu Qingfeng's chest like a storm.

In Gu Qingfeng's mind, the sound of notifications kept ringing.

Ding ding ding!!!

+3+3+3+...

"That's right, hit harder like this, eighty! Eighty!"

Gu Qingfeng shouted slogans while flipping over to let her help him massage his back. He had been sitting for too long these past few days and was feeling a bit sore.

Ding ding ding!!!

+3+2+2+1+1...

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you slacking off? Use all your strength, or I'll hit you!"

Roar!

Thump thump thump thump!

Ding ding ding!!!

+0.5+0.5+0.5...

"What the heck, why am I getting fewer points now? What's wrong with the system?"

"As the host's defense increases, the damage inflicted by the corpse ghost on you decreases, so the bonus points are also reduced."

"Damn, does that mean I can't become invincible by relying on one monster to grind anymore? Do I have to find even stronger monsters?"

"Yes."

Gu Qingfeng was a little unhappy, so he turned around and gave the corpse ghost a slap.

"You useless thing!"

Then, Gu Qingfeng moved up a bit.

"Massage my legs."

"You despicable human, how dare you hit me? I'll kill you!"

Bang, bang, bang...

The corpse ghost pounded on Gu Qingfeng's leg like crazy.

Ding!

Congratulations, host, your defense has reached the limit and you have gained the talent [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]!

As the system prompt sounded again, Gu Qingfeng felt a strong warmth surging through his body.

The next second, a faint yellow-bronze light seemed to appear on his skin, and then disappeared in a flash.

When the small fist of the corpse ghost fell on Gu Qingfeng's leg again, it made a metallic ringing sound as if hitting iron.

Moreover, the prompt for increasing defense did not sound anymore. Obviously, Gu Qingfeng's defense was now completely immune to the corpse ghost's attacks, and there would be no further increase.

"Hey, you're useless now."

Gu Qingfeng stood up indifferently from the corpse ghost's hammering.

The corpse ghost was now also panting and stopped hitting Gu Qingfeng involuntarily when she saw that he was unharmed.

Looking at Gu Qingfeng with an unbelieving expression, she said, "Human, how can you be so hard?"

Gu Qingfeng sneered, "As a man, one has to be hard!"

"By the way, why haven't you turned back yet? Is it because what I say doesn't work?"

Angry, Gu Qingfeng punched and kicked the corpse ghost who was still dumbfounded.

After obtaining the talent of Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Gu Qingfeng found that his strength had also increased.

He beat the corpse ghost so badly that she screamed and finally surrendered to his yin energy, turning back into a human woman.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the corpse ghost, who was now covered in bruises and felt that she was truly beautiful!

Especially now, with green and purple bruises all over her body, he felt she was even more beautiful.

Of course, he no longer had any thoughts in that area, since he had already seen the true face of the corpse ghost, he dared not think further.

But that did not stop him from enjoying the sight.

"Since you can no longer increase my defense, then give me a dance, hmmm... the cool kind."

After burning incense for one stick, Gu Qingfeng came out of the corpse ghost's cell with satisfaction and locked the door on his way out.

Before leaving, he told the corpse ghost, "Remember the positions I taught you, practice them quickly. I'll come to see you next time."
