The next second, I released the lightning finger technique targeting the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple beam released from my finger and shot at the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Horned Snake senses danger coming towards it. It moved its massive body. Because of its fast ability, the snake monster manages to avoid the hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sense of danger coming from prey pisses it greatly. Hissing, the snake launched a full-scale assault. It dashed toward the prey at a faster speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm seeing an unbelievable scene through perception. I missed the target. It had never happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I suddenly realized something. The Class-5 Monster is different. You can't treat it as dumb. The snake monster is especially cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the monster get closer, I held my sword before me. It's not wise to run anymore. I will suffer more damage while fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's best to confront the monster straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake monster opened its mouth and it aimed its massive fangs at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked the fang with my black sword. The monster is slowly pushing me backward. Thanks to Mid-level body strength. I'm not crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to use the finger technique at this point and it won't miss the target. Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood Field Technique,\" I muttered. I released the aura hiding inside my body. The invisible provides deterrence to hostile minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the invisible aura appears around my body. The Black Horned Snake lost its mind for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good Chance,\" I uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I held the black sword in my left hand and raised my right hand against the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning finger technique,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple ball formed in my forefinger in a blink of an eye. The next second, I released the purple beam targeting the snake's pupil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A straight purple beam reaches the target in a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning pierces through the monster's eye. The monster gained clarity right before the attack. But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Horned Snake monster hissed in agonizing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it is one eye gone, I pointed my fingers towards the left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I saw a massive tail coming at me. I gripped the black sword in both hands and blocked the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blade comes in contact with the snake's scales. The collision caused a terrible sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I retreated backward several steps. Because of my body strength, I'm not getting overwhelmed right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw that the black-horned snake is not retreating at all. It's still glaring at me with its left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's been a while since I have used the other lightning technique. My mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I dashed toward the monster without using the lightning technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake monster is charging toward the prey as well. The annoying prey is slipping away from its fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake monster is enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the monster got closer to me. I used the blood field technique again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the opportunity, I used the lightning attack technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning Wheel\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive lightning wheel appeared around me. The lightning power is more domineering than before because of the purified purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back-horned snake senses danger. But it was too late. Even using the speed ability, the monster wasn't able to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive body comes in contact with the lightning wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning wheel explodes after coming into contact with the snake's body. The Class-5 Monster's scales are hard. It took the most of the brunt leaving behind the superficial injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. I clenched my fist and punched the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This all happened within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ran the blood method inside my body. The blood energy comes from redbones in my skeleton reaching my arms and finally, the power gathered around my fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Power was invisible to the eye. But I know a massive force gathered in my punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the punch comes in contact with the snake's scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch tore through the monster's body and the scales broke into several pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I retract my fist, I see a massive hole in the snake's body. Seeing that disbelief appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know my body strength is strong. But not to this extent. Then I realized it was due to weird movements earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gained certain force from the red bones of mine. When I realized the power. A wave of ecstasy rose in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the blood field technique, I was looking forward to another blood technique. And this seems to be a proper killing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Horned Snake is hissing in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled the previous movement in mind. The next second, I charged against the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake monster spotted the prey. But it can't move its body like before. The speed got massively reduced compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got closer to the monster. Like before I try to mobilize the force from the red bones of my skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, I ran the blood method. I felt a similar feeling inside my body. A certain force reached my arm from the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of domineering feeling is addictive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I twisted my fist and punched the monster with brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I tore through the defense more easily leaving behind another hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the black-horned monster lost its vitality and dropped dead on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. This time the trip turned out to be fruitful. More than the monster core, I gained a new fist technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I gripped the black sword and walked up to the monster. I started to dissect the body parts slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stored the monster parts and monster core in my storage ring. When I looked inside my dantian. I found the purple essence was reduced by half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I furrowed my eyebrows. It took several lightning attacks to end the monster's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even depleted half of my purple reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then after calming down my heart. I decided to leave. I was hoping to collect two or more monster cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the purple essence was not enough. If I fight any other monster, my purple essence will be emptied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then without thinking further, I moved to find the next teleportation point to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, I reached the teleportation point. Fortunately, I didn't come across monsters on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping inside, I selected the server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, I disappeared from my spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes. I found myself back inside the teleportation tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked back into my room. Before taking a shower, I decided to cultivate the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped inside the training room. I walked to the middle of the platform and sat-cross legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I took the Class-5 Monster Core and held it in my palm. I closed my eyes and started to run the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I started to absorb the monster's core energy. When the energy entered my body. A hazy blood light appears above my blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the red light starts to absorb the energy. Immediately after, the energy was converted to white energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those white energies immediately drilled into my bones. I felt extreme heart-wrenching pain the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth and began to endure the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red color started to expand and slowly it covered the thigh bone. It completely looked blood red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Class-5 Monster Core still has some remaining energy left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I repeated the process. I felt the barrier. A wave of ecstasy rose in my heart. The process can't be repeated unless the barrier is broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I started to absorb the energy to attack the barrier. The barrier remained solid after the first attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I continued to attack the barrier. Even after some time, the barrier remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of disappointment flashes in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes and looked at the monster core in my hand. I can feel the small amount of energy in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was right. One monster core is not enough,\" I said to myself. Then I placed the monster core back in my storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got up from the ground and walked out of the training room. The progress of the body method is good. But the essence of cultivation is lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I went to take a shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days went by,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped going to the monster zones. Instead, I shifted my attention back to the essence of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, I continued to visit the high peak mountain. One thing is to replenish the purple essence and another one is to reach the barrier in essence cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got the opportunity to reduce the gap between body strength and essence cultivation. So I had made up my mind to reach the essence barrier as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I hadn't come across any of those Red Moon Tower Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, no one came to disturb me. The academy site also became calm without any controversy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days the Saw Scale Academy is in peace without any turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>",1557,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8004574001bf78b3a1a6fc497290a32ecebafc73160aaaf68a0ad0f9d0b39f6","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-495","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-493",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
