~4 minute read · 952 words

The next moment, Lin Xuankong’s eyes flickered as he activated the Blood Burning Technique. His Qi Blood suddenly began to circulate at high speed; in the blink of an eye, more than half of his Qi Blood was consumed. Simultaneously, every inch of his skin became scorching hot and red. The Qi Blood within his body seemed to be burning, raising his body temperature to an extreme level, and the sweat on his skin quickly evaporated into steam. Lin Xuankong turned to look at the water cup on the stone table beside him, dipped his crimson finger into it, and in an instant, the water in the basin began to emit hot steam!

Fortunately, this body had already been tempered many times and was no longer ordinary flesh and blood. If a normal person’s body temperature rose to this level, their flesh would probably be medium-well, and their intestines cooked through.

Lin Xuankong’s face also showed some surprise. He took the Ruyi Profound Gold Rod out of the Ghost Frog Pouch and weighed it. He discovered that the Ruyi Profound Gold Rod, which felt slightly heavy in his hand under normal circumstances, felt almost weightless after activating the Blood Burning Technique.

His face couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy.

A trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he began to calculate secretly.

...

「In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.」

Inside the stone tower, having finished his cultivation, Lin Xuankong sensed the many changes in his body.

[Realm: Mid-stage Transcendence Fourth Layer]

[Yin Talisman Technique: Minor Success 138/232]

[Pine Crane Longevity Technique: Minor Success 70/500]

[Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique: Minor Success 56/450]

[Eight Gates Celestial Eye: Fifth Layer 61/200]

[Perfect Qi Blood: 385,893/500,000]

[Poison Resistance: Immortal Tier First Grade 3/1600]

[Heart Thought: Mortal Tier Sixth Grade 2/80]

[Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique: Integration 21/50]

[Blood Eating Technique: Integration 41/50]

[Blood-Burning Secret Technique: Initial Glimpse 1/25]

[Divine Protection Elixir: Initial Grade Alchemy Technique 8/32]

Among these, after his Poison Resistance increased to Immortal Tier First Grade, even if Lin Xuankong ate almost a thousand pounds of Ghost Frog Flesh every day, he could no longer improve his Immortal Tier Poison Resistance. However, even with Immortal Tier First Grade Poison Resistance, probably no Demon Poison in the entire Great Xia Dynasty could affect Lin Xuankong.

The effectiveness of the Nourishing Spirit Pill became negligible once the grade of his Heart Thought advanced to the sixth grade.

Fortunately, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan had probably refined many batches of Divine Protection Elixir during this time. Her Alchemy Technique had already advanced to Initial Grade and was rapidly improving at a daily rate of roughly two proficiency points. Every morning when Lin Xuankong woke, his mind would be filled with many new insights and understandings of alchemy.

Aside from these enhancements, all his Cultivation Techniques were rapidly improving at sixty or thirty times speed. The Yin Talisman Technique was approaching the late stage of Minor Success, and the Divine Thunder Root’s power was also increasing. This indicated that Lin Xuankong’s realm would reach the late stage of the Fourth Layer in a few days. The late stage of the Fourth Layer was the realm of cultivators like Jiang Yuran, the Grand Steward of the Yin Talisman Sect, and Liy Ruofeng, the Vice Hall Master of the Black Tiger Gang. Individuals of this realm were among the few elite in the Great Marsh Prefecture.

In addition to these enhancements, the Blood-Burning Secret Technique had reached the Initial Glimpse Realm. After testing it, Lin Xuankong found that activating the Initial Glimpse Blood-Burning Secret Technique consumed a significantly higher amount of Qi Blood, with an instant consumption reaching eighty points. Naturally, the explosive power enhancement had also reached a very satisfying fourfold increase for Lin Xuankong, and it could last for several dozen breaths.

At this moment, clearly sensing his various improvements, Lin Xuankong felt a strong sense of fulfillment and grew more confident about the upcoming competition.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Lin Xuankong opened it to see Han Feiyan and three others.

"Brother Lin, today is the official duel day! It’s about to start over there!" Han Feiyan said respectfully, cupping her hands.

Two days ago, Lin Xuankong had already obtained the qualification token. Enduring ten breaths under Liang Qinhu, who ranked eighth on the Hero List, had been no pressure at all for him.

Lin Xuankong’s eyes showed a trace of anticipation, and he nodded. After so many days of preparation, the time had finally come to face the mysterious Female Martial Cultivator.

Zhao Yufei looked at Han Feiyan. "Feiyan, these past few days, did you try to get the qualification?"

Han Feiyan replied, "I tried two days ago, but under Liang Qinhu, I could barely last two breaths. The gap between Master Lin and me is like the difference between heaven and earth; I couldn’t even get the qualification!"

Han Xiu sighed beside her. "Sister, you lasted two breaths. When I faced Liang Qinhu yesterday, I was sent flying in just one move!"

Han Feiyan glared. "With your limited skills, you weren’t killed by Liang Qinhu’s palm?"

Han Xiu felt a surge of ’warmth’.

Moments later, the group left the stone tower and stood midway up Luoxia Slope.

At this time, the platform midway up the mountain had already gathered elites, Stewards, and Grand Chief Stewards from various cities, regions, and sects, totaling five to six hundred people. These people represented the core strength of eighty to ninety percent of the forces within the Great Marsh Prefecture. With everyone gathered here, it was truly a gathering of heroes and a convergence of elites.
