Chapter 347: Grade 7 Human Immortal Realm
...…..
"My Loot God Nourishment Rate has finally started to go up. Oh, and I have gotten some Red Tier Loot Halos. Nice, nice, very nice."
Azmodeus muttered to himself and bobbed his head as he stood outside the doors of the Immortal Hunter's Guild Branch Building. Deciding to use up his Immortal Evolution Essence while entering the building, a few things were quickly altered.
[Cultivation: Grade 6 Human Immortal (Early)]
[Battle Power: Grade 8 Human Immortal (Middle)]
[Singularity Coalescence: White Tier Immortal (Late)]
{[Immortal Physiques:]}
[Immortal's Resilience: Mid-Red Tier]
{[Immortal Lines:]}
[White Tier Loot Lines: 18 (x36)]
After taking a few brief glances at all the changes, Azmodeus put most of his focus into walking over to the receptionist's desk. Promptly, he placed his wrist on the wooden desk.
"Seems like you read the guide in an in-depth manner." Lightly giggling over this, the receptionist took his wrist and scanned it with a handheld tool.
Turning to look at a screen off to the side, she nodded a few times and even showed a hint of surprise every now and then.
After taking a moment to regain her bearings, she placed her dainty, polished hand over her red lips and said, "It seems that 'Special Physique' of yours is more special than you let on."
An inexplicable glint flashed past her eyes for a second, but it quickly disappeared, making one assume that it was never there to begin with.
"???"
Azmodeus noticed this occurrence, but after sensing no visible malicious intent, he responded to her question, saying, "Yes, you could say that. Now, am I clear for all three quests?"
"Why, yes, yes. You have completed all three quests; your reward will be sent to your arm bracelet in a few minutes."
While speaking in that same friendly and cordial feminine voice, the receptionist tapped a few things on a holographic screen. "Your completion of these quests as a solo hunter will also be recorded in your profile," she said politely. "I assume this is fine with you?"
"Yes, that is fine."
It wasn't like Azmodeus had much of a choice in the matter, so he answered with the only thing he could.
"Very good."
After making a few more clickity sounds, the receptionist looked toward Azmodeus and said, "You are still F-Rank for now. But if you keep at it as you have been, it won't be long before you rank up to E-Rank and beyond!"
"Alright…"
Not really knowing how to take this information, Azmodeus simply replied in a laid back manner. Then, with a small head bow, he left the counter and approached the quest board. After taking more than 10 F-Rank Quests off the board, he put them in his Storage Ring and left the building.
While watching him leave through the swinging wooden doors, the receptionist couldn't resist putting more focus on this Immortal Hunter.
"Hey, Ru Ling."
Taking her out of her reverie, Ru Ling looked toward another receptionist. Her friend, Bo Ning. They had known each other since forever ago, and even joined the Immortal Hunter's Guild at the same time.
Finally getting around to responding to her friend, Ru Ling said, "Yes?"
"Why were you staring at that guy so much? He doesn't really seem like your type, and I was just wondering-" not giving her friend the chance to jump to any wild theories, Ru Ling interrupted her, saying:
"Stop wondering so much, Bo Ning. That man; there is just something rather intriguing about his aura. That is all."
After ignoring her busty blonde friend and getting back to work, Ru Ling couldn't stop herself from thinking about just what that mysterious man would surprise her with next.
"Humph…!"
Although a little vexed over the way Ru Ling was acting, Bo Ning snorted before returning to her position and attending to the other Immortal Hunters.

Meanwhile, in the depths of a literal pit of snakes that seemed to stretch on for Infinity, Azmodeus was using Sanguinary and Excalibur to slash up all the Half-Immortal Realm snake beasts.
None of them were worth very much, but with an unlimited number of them, the Immortal Evolution Essence and cultivation gains definitely started to add up. Moreover, killing one hundred of these things was also part of a quest, so everything else was just a bonus in Azmodeus's mind.
It had been over 3 hours since he completed his first 3 quests. During this period of time, his total quest completion counter had already surpassed 20, going on 30!
This was most assuredly a record in this Immortal Hunter Branch Building, but for Azmodeus, it was him holding back.
If not for this restraint, his system interface wouldn't look so sad right now…
BLING!

"Ai… Over 30 Quests completed and still not in the Earth Immortal Realm. If I keep on progressing at this turtle pace, I'll never be able to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm before the start of the next month…"
After lamenting over this information for a few moments, Azmodeus walked away from the deepest depths of a dimly lit cavern. However, it quickly came to light that this 'cavern' was not actually a cavern. Rather, it was the internal stomach of an utterly massive snake monster.
As it was in the Grade 9 Human Immortal Realm, it was clearly quite the fearsome existence before its Dantian Space was shattered by a lone crimson-haired man.
[Ding! You have killed a Demon Mourner Serpent in the Grade 9 Human Immortal Realm. The reward is 1000 Immortal Evolution Essence!]
"Ho? 1000 Immortal Evolution Essence for killing this thing is definitely a boon," Azmodeus mused to himself as he blasted a hole right through the side of the snake corpse's interior.
Upon seeing the bright rays of sunlight shine down on his blood-covered figure, he jumped through the hole and appeared in the outside world. After taking a couple more leaps, Azmodeus soon disappeared from view.
But before that happened, a few slimy black tendrils shot out from his fleeting silhouette. After enveloping the giant snake's corpse in its entirety, a few minor cultivation increases were alloted.
