Yes, that's right. Your math was not failing you. Just by capturing so many souls into their requisite areas, Draco and Eva each gained 10 free stat points to allocate as they wished.
This was probably the greatest news for them, for they had been waiting on this ever since they got the skills. On many floors, they had tried to genocide people to capture their souls, but either the tower cucked them or the souls were not enough.
This time, it presented them with a prime opportunity, so how could they let it go? Now, they were sitting on a goldmine.
Draco and Eva were not in a rush to allocate. Their current power was great enough, and they wanted to see what would happen when they hit Rank 4, as that was an important milestone class-wise and bloodline-wise.

They went onto the 38th floor, welcomed by the sight of the same exact situation where they left off. The Airships hovered over the now open and defenseless sect while attacks rained down like Armageddon, the disciples, and elders of the sect being crushed to death with despair-filled faces.
It was a scene straight out of a doomsday fantasy.
Draco and Eva were already full up on souls and the like, so they didn't partake in the slaughter. Rather, they checked the floor details to see what they had to do next.
?The Thirty-Eight Floor – Divine Quest
Description: You are in the World of Martial Spirits! Here, children at the age of ten undergo an awakening ceremony to unlock their hidden Martial Spirits and embark upon the path of Martial Arts!
It's time for war. A third-rate sect on the continent has been wantonly capturing men, women, and children to refine them into tormented spirits for their sects treasure, the Nine-Nine Evil Spirit Flag.
You are to achieve two of three targets;
1. Destroy 100% of the Sect's Army using your own forces.
2. Destroy 100% of the Sect's Property using your own forces.
3. Reach the Sublimation Realm.
Limitation 1: Magic does not exist in this world, only Qi and Martial Arts!
Limitation 2: You may retreat from the floor at any time, but upon re-entry, you would have to resume from the exact situation you were in at the time.
Limitation 3: You cannot use any class-based skills or abilities, as well as your equipment.
Limitation 4: This world is ruthless, dog-eat-dog in the truest sense. There will be no mercy or pity.
Provision 1: You retain your power from outside, but only in terms of stats and only after you awaken Martial Spirits.
Provision 2: You may freely use any healing items and consumables in your Inventory.
Provision 3: You can use any and all of your Tradeskills at will.

Draco and Eva ignored the slaughter and sat down to continue cultivating. Just like that, they broke through Sublimation realm early stage from Qi Condensation peak, and underwent their first 'sublimation'.
The Evil Duo showed furrowed eyebrows as they felt their three dantian contracting severely. It was like their muscles were squeezing together, trying to crush their innards.
There was a significant amount of pain, and it dragged on for a good while since their dantians were so full of Qi. This lasted for around two days, during which they felt an increasing amount of pain.
This surprised the Evil Duo, as they were sure that no normal person could have survived this long. Maybe it had to do with their absurd talent? Because there was no way this kind of happening was common.
Sublimation had been likened to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, so what they were going through was an alternative method to Foundation Establishment.
Once done, Draco and Eva felt like the Qi they had taken in was extremely smoother and easier to control, like going from a thin gas to a liquid form. Not only that, but their meridians and passageways for Qi were now three times as fast, meaning they could execute the same attack in Sublimation 3 times in the same timeframe they would have sent 1 in Qi Condensation.
The kind of battle power boost it gave was not something to scoff at. They didn't stop here, even as the slaughter came to an end. It took a while to raze the entire sect down due to the fact that its size was quite big.
Now, the central airships were just cleaning up the entire forest and looting anything of value while the outer airships that were sent to surround slowly cleaned up all those who thought they escaped.
No matter how they hid or how far they ran, they would only meet death and despair at the end, trying various stunts in order to survive. It took a total of 2 weeks for the operation to come to an end.
By then, Draco and Eva were already finishing up the Sublimation Realm. Unlike others who would compress only twice, which was the beginning of the realm and the end of it, they were forced to compress at every small realm.
So Early Sublimation which we saw earlier, then middle Sublimation, and then Late Sublimation. Peak Sublimation was when the second compression was supposed to happen naturally, but it was the fourth time for Draco and Eva.
If Early Sublimation was Foundation Establishment, the Middle Sublimation was Early Golden Core, Late Sublimation was mid Golden Core and Peak Sublimation was peak Golden Core.
Ideally, for the average Martial Spirit world user, it should have been Early Sublimations = entire Foundation Establishment at once (hence the pain), mid and late sublimation = Qi condensation part 2, and peak sublimation = entire Golden Core at once.
However, since people of this world engage d
in body cultivation beforehand, they experienced less trouble in Qi cultivation because their bodies were sturdy enough.
Draco and Eva were the exceptions, and why was this? It wasn't for anything special, but the fact that 2/3 of their cultivation techniques were NOT sourced from the Martial Spirit World directly.
The Holy Demonic Record, Supremacy Theory, and Vile/Pure Angel Tactics were general trend cultivation techniques at the top. So ideally, they followed the qi condensation, foundation establishment, golden core, nascent soul… etc method.
It was only that while in this world, with the help of the Heavenly Dao (the tower system), their methods were converted into the world's standard, so they could go through the 5 body cultivation stages as well as the 5 Qi cultivation stages of this world's system.
However, it was clear that some things had not carried over properly, and this was what caused the current situation. The Dragon and Phoenix-related methods were fine and worked normally, but the other two caused a lot of pain forming golden cores in their brain and heart.
Whatever the case, they reached peak Sublimation in all techniques and were ready to enter Crystallization if given the chance.
Seeing as the war was over and they had reached their goal, the commander Guo Shi was running over to inform them of their success when the floor began to collapse on itself.

Seated in the castle, they paid no attention to the various ongoings outside as they jumped right onto the next bit.
When they appeared, Draco and Eva found that they were standing behind the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors as they faced off against a large group of men and women who had slightly weaker auras.
This made the Evil Duo frown as wondered what the heck was going on and who the heck these people were. Just in time, the floor details came up.
?The Thirty-Ninth Floor – Divine Quest

Draco and Eva shared a look, then faced the people opposite them. Their masters were absolutely furious, their Immortal Auras pressing down on everyone here.
"Dogs of the Xiantian Continent, you better have a good reason for appearing here despite the Ancient Pact!" The Dragon Ancestor said coldly.
The fellow in the lead of the opposite group also had an immortal aura, but it was far weaker than the Dragon and Phoenix duo. However, his side had more numbers with immortal auras, and their combination was enough to offset the suppression.
He was an old man who wore immaculate white robes, with lightning-like brows, a long sensei-tier beard, and white hair tied into a traditional Chinese topknot.
He smiled arrogantly and spoke while looking around. "The Houtian Continent has long been embroiled in conflict and unnecessary war for so many years. It is time for a hand to bring peace and prosperity to the world for the sake of the common man."
The Phoenix Ancestor changed from her usual grandmotherly demeanor when she was with Eva back to her old hag-like behavior when they first met.
"Bwehehehe! And who is supposed to be that controlling hand? You?" She asked with disdain.
"That's right. The Xiantian Continent has been united under the hand of myself, the Xiantian Emperor, and my generals! The continent now enjoys prosperity, stability, and- urrghh!!"
The so-called emperor was cut off halfway through his speech when a beam of light pierced through his abdomen, exactly where his dantian should be. The Xiantian Emperor spat out blood and clutched his abdomen with horror, feeling his dantian rupture as his cultivation began to dissipate.
With shock, all eyes turned to gaze at the belligerent Eva whose finger was still raised and glowing with deadly light energy.
"I don't have time to listen to your bullshit cultivator back and forth. Just die." Eva said cruelly as she fired multiple light beams at the Xiantian Emperor, piercing him all over his body as he screamed in agony.
