School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1888 - 1974: Outer Domain Battlefield 11

Chen Nan found himself scrutinized by the Three Supremes of Xue Zhan, each captivated by the enigmas he embodied. His extraordinary might was certainly a factor, but equally compelling was his artifact capable of directly siphoning malevolent energies.

Furthermore, the profound cultivation techniques he employed enabled him to absorb the potent essence from the Blood Lake. It is widely understood that the Blood Pond is designated for cultivators below the supreme level. However, the toxic spiritual herbs intermingled with beast blood within the Blood Lake possess the power to overwhelm even a third of a supreme being’s physical form.

Despite this, Nanchen Tianjun appeared entirely unfazed. Xue Zhan could discern with clarity that the majority of the blood within the Blood Gourd had been assimilated by Nanchen.

It was noted that the woman, Ou Yifei, had absorbed a negligible amount.

‘That Blood Gourd…’ Xue Zhan mused momentarily, then turned his attention to the Fat and Lean Supremes. “Since when does the Blood Martial Hall possess a Holy Artifact? You two are perpetually bickering; while competing amongst yourselves is one thing, you should not involve Nanchen, our esteemed brother.”

A wave of relief washed over Chen Nan; had the situation escalated further from convention, he truly wouldn't have known how to navigate it.

Nevertheless, the Hall Master harbored a flicker of regret. Could it be that his sojourn in the Fourth-level World had instilled within him an insatiable hunger for power, a trait cultivated by the Heaven Punishment Alliance?

Chen Nan expelled a deep sigh, his head shaking slowly.

The Fat and Lean Supremes were engaged in a vocal dispute with Xue Zhan, their arguments escalating.

Chen Nan waited, a growing sense of bewilderment settling upon him.

For, despite Xue Zhan’s eloquent pronouncements on ideals and aspirations, once the two simpletons began to speak, Xue Zhan seemed utterly disarmed, with no retort.

Xue Zhan then approached Chen Nan. “Nanchen, though your Blood Gourd may not be an official Holy Artifact of our Blood Martial Hall, its presence could amplify our hall’s cultivation speed manifold, perhaps even more.”

Blood Kill Supreme readily concurred. “Nanchen, given your profound understanding of Blood Refining Secret Techniques, we share a significant affinity. We are prepared to grant you access to the Blood Lake if you would lend us your Blood Gourd; the advantages would be immense.”

Even as Blood Blade remained silent, his gaze remained fixed on Chen Nan, awaiting his decision.

“Well…”

Chen Nan's brow furrowed slightly. While this proposition offered him a substantial advantage, he felt no apprehension regarding the possibility of these individuals resorting to coercion. In that regard, he regarded himself as their progenitor.

Chen Nan’s inclination was towards teaching the art of fishing, rather than simply providing a fish.

“Nanchen, perhaps you have additional stipulations? Please, voice them freely, and we shall give them due consideration,” Blood Blade Supreme finally interjected. The Blood Martial Hall operated on two distinct cultivation methodologies: Blood Refining and Martial Arts.

The initial phase involved employing Blood Refining Skills to augment one's cultivation. Subsequently, Martial Arts were practiced to purge the body of malevolent energies through the Yang essence inherent in martial disciplines. Although this approach yielded no adverse effects, it demanded a considerable investment of time.

The martial arts practiced within the Blood Martial Hall were characterized by their supreme Yang nature, exuding immense power.

However, the cultivation process was arduous and time-consuming, necessitating ten days of martial arts training to purge the malevolent aura accumulated from a single day’s immersion in the Blood Pond.

Should they gain the use of Chen Nan’s Blood Gourd, which perpetually absorbed malevolent energies, they could directly harness the purest essence of the Blood Lake, thereby obviating the need for protracted martial arts cultivation.

Blood Blade Supreme extended an invitation for Chen Nan to present his terms; neither Xue Zhan, Blood Kill, nor the Fat and Lean Supremes voiced any dissent.

This arrangement appeared to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Even if the Five Supremes of the Blood Martial Hall possessed omniscient capabilities, they could not possibly have foreseen that the very essence of the Blood Gourd lay in its capacity to absorb malevolent energies, thereby forging an artifact of a demonic nature.

During his time in the Panlong Star Domain, Chen Nan had absorbed the malevolent blood qi emanating from the Heavenly People’s Supreme. Coupled with the absorption that occurred today, the Blood Gourd had already begun its transformation into a demonic artifact. It was only a matter of time before it might manifest another diminutive, crimson sword.

A terrifying instrument of destruction, capable of piercing the very flesh of a Supreme.

Moreover, as his cultivation advanced, he had refined the Blood Gourd to such an extent that the newly formed crimson sword boasted a significantly greater offensive capability than in the previous confrontation with the Demon Clan Supreme.

Once unleashed unexpectedly, this crimson sword possessed the ability to pierce even the Sea of Consciousness of a Supreme.

“Nanchen and the esteemed seniors have forged a swift camaraderie. However, much as I am not presently required to report back to the Rune Emperor’s seat, my current limited standing does not grant me the authority to share this coveted treasure.”

Chen Nan offered a soft chuckle.

Xue Zhan and the others, possessing keen intellects, immediately grasped Chen Nan’s intention. “That is easily resolved. Our Blood Martial Hall’s Hall Master, Shangguan Xue, is conveniently absent on this occasion; you are free to assume his position as Hall Master.”

The other Four Supremes assented, their spirits ablaze with heroic resolve.

Internally, Chen Nan scoffed, reasoning, ’I’m not a fool; if I accept the position of Hall Master, they would perpetually burden me with endless requests. Moreover, being a leader nowadays isn’t ideal, given it’s merely a nominal status without any real backing.’

"I possess no desire for the Hall Master position; is there a special role within the Blood Martial Hall that is currently vacant and comes with an artifact recognized by those outside our clan?" Chen Nan inquired with a slight smile, his intention being to obtain an identity that would prove useful when dealing with other Heavenly People Clan members during his future excursions.

The Fat and Lean Supremes regarded Chen Nan as if he were daft. Suddenly, a spark of understanding ignited in Blood Kill Supreme's eyes, responding, "Indeed, throughout the annals of our Blood Martial Hall, a unique position exists—the Blood Dragon Envoy."

"The previous Blood Dragon Envoy met his end millennia ago during the ancient conflict against the Human Clan. Since that time, a suitable successor has yet to be found. Had Nanchen not brought it up today, we would have completely overlooked this matter."

The trio appeared to be immersed in reminiscing about bygone eras. "In those days, the Blood Dragon Envoy was our most formidable associate within the Blood Martial Hall. Alas, providence was unkind to his exceptional talent, and he was ultimately slain by the Human Clan, leaving the Blood Dragon Order without an inheritor. For it to find a master once more would indeed be a stroke of great fortune."

Immediately following this, the Three Supremes gestured towards the Fat and Lean Supremes. Subsequently, the Five Supremes ascended above the grand palace, soaring towards the uppermost central structure.

Mid-flight, within the vast expanse, each of them drew forth a trickle of vital blood from their palms, directing it towards the palace’s apex.

"Rumbling sounds!"

A cataclysmic clamor ensued, causing the entirety of the palace complex to reverberate. Chen Nan and Ou Yifei, positioned beside the Blood Lake, could feel a palpable surge of power being drawn forth.

"What precisely is this Blood Dragon Order?" Chen Nan directed a telepathic query towards Ou Yifei, who stood adjacent to him.

Ou Yifei responded with a shake of her head, stating, "My knowledge is limited as well. I originated from Earth, and though the Dragon Emperor once procured the Power of World Origin from our Clan’s Supreme Expert, thereby absorbing a fragment of the Supreme’s memories which indeed provided me with awareness of the Tiger Ben Guards and the Blood Martial Hall, I lack understanding of many specific particulars."

In the subsequent moment, a barrage of divine thunderclaps seemed to reverberate throughout the palace grounds. A token, shaped like a dragon’s head and radiating an immense aura, materialized in the void before them.
