Chapter 43: Damned

Chen Yan chose a seat further back and sat down.

Simply understanding Yin Zhe is, in fact, understanding one's own Qi Blood attribute.

What Luo Puxin said about Chen Yan learning to use Qi Blood without using Yin Zhe.

It is actually controlling one's own attributes.

The current Chen Yan cannot yet do this.

Controlling Yin Zhe is extremely difficult, especially when he executes the 【Great Void Art】, making it even harder to control.

After midnight yesterday, Chen Yan practicing the 【Great Void Art】 still could not hide the leakage of Cold Intent.

But he still had to come to the Blood-Sniffing Room; according to what Luo Puxin said, Chen Yan needed to appear as if he were longing for Awakening.

The moment Chen Yan can control Yin Zhe will be the day Chen Yan awakens.

This is to save his life.

Of those who have undergone Limit-Breaking Awakening, except for Chen Min, anyone who leaks their own position will encounter endless crises.

What Chen Yan needs to do is, inside the Blood-Sniffing Room, slowly activate the 【Great Void Art】 and Yin Zhe, continuously increasing the degree of activation until he can completely master the Cold Intent.

But what Luo Puxin does not know is that Chen Yan will waste the efficiency of absorbing Qi Blood, while the Po Saint Realm will not.

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.

Before his own Awakening, the Qi Blood Energy obtained from the Medicine Bath every day was not wasted, but absorbed by the Po Saint Realm.

The Qi Blood Energy brought to Chen Yan by the 【Blood】 character Break-Saint Fruit felt as if it had existed within him all along, incomparably natural and incomparably pure.

"Hey, you're Chen Yan, right?"

A male voice rang out, and a Male Student in a position further forward in the Blood-Sniffing Room Stood Up:

"Wu Chuhua is my younger brother." A trace of a smile appeared on the Male Student's face:

"You hit him pretty hard yesterday."

Inside the Blood-Sniffing Room, the other students all looked toward Chen Yan; some snickered, and some had pity in their Pupils.

"Wu Chuqi, accommodation conditions are based on combat power; that is the rule of the True Martial Class!" Gao Yuan Stood Up, speaking with slight nervousness.

The man named Wu Chuqi, however, kept looking at Chen Yan:

"In this True Martial Class, I rank seventh."

His Smile grew more exuberant, seemingly revealing danger, as he looked directly at Chen Yan, feeling slightly startled in his heart that Chen Yan was actually smiling.

He was not afraid of him at all and even wanted to fight him.

Wu Chuqi paused his Mouth, his coldness retracted, and he smiled:

"Well fought. My brother is someone who deserves a beating. You should hit him more often in the future; I will even thank you.

I apologize to you for him impersonating Zhang Tie."

Chen Yan's Smile faded, feeling somewhat surprised.

"I heard your Horizontal Refinement is very strong, that you failed your Qi Blood Awakening, and don't want to give up on Qi Blood." Wu Chuqi said earnestly:

"But when it comes to blood-sniffing, you still have to act according to your ability; it is very difficult in the Blood-Sniffing Room without having awakened."

His attitude was very sincere; after speaking, he sat back down, and nothing happened.

Everyone looked at Chen Yan; some were not familiar with Chen Yan and only then learned that Chen Yan had failed his Awakening and wanted to use blood-sniffing to awaken.

To awaken again after a failed Awakening, the difficulty is simply too great.

Some sighed in their hearts at Chen Yan's persistence, some expressed understanding, and some felt that Chen Yan was living in a Dream.

Hiss...

Red light gradually appeared on the Green Stone walls carved with Array Disks, rolling red mist gradually emerged, and the students inside the Blood-Sniffing Room all began to absorb it.

The red mist contained in the surroundings surged, and red light began to appear within the Po Saint Realm.

The First Boundary of the Qi Blood path, the Five Viscera Realm, is the process of storing and forging Qi Blood in the Five Viscera.

Of course, there are levels to Casting.

For example, the First Person of this True Martial Class, Chu Xuansheng, has already cast four and a half viscera, with a Casting Degree of over seventy percent.

Casting Degree is the degree of being fully cast.

When the other party reaches the peak of the Five Viscera, perhaps the Casting Degree can reach seventy-five percent.

Seventy-five percent is already the top level in this place.

Rolling red light appeared within the Po Saint Realm, and Chen Yan sat watching a 【Blood】 character Break-Saint Fruit about to ripen.

Hiss...

Inside the heart, Yin Zhe surged, the Cold Intent piercingly cold.

Before Chen Yan was a patch of red mist, difficult to distinguish, yet he gradually raised his eyebrows.

Within the Po Saint Realm, there was actually ink-colored light appearing.

Ink-colored light represents Elemental Energy.

Is the Qi Blood Energy within this red mist spiked?

Chen Yan felt increasingly surprised in his heart; operating Yin Zhe, he could feel all kinds of Elemental Energy within this red mist.

There were those that were fierce and blazing, which were Fire; there were those that were Qing Mang, which were Wood.

And there were those that were awe-inspiring, which were Ice.

So much Elemental Energy, what is going on? It seems to only be entrenched in his own area; he never encountered this situation at the Town Martial Officer's office.

According to what Luo Puxin said, Chen Yan slowly activated the 【Great Void Art】, slightly absorbing Qi Blood, while simultaneously monitoring the release of his own Cold Intent.

He began his Cultivation Technique cautiously.

Hiss...

Qi Blood Energy containing various Elemental Energies slowly entered his body; Chen Yan's Pupils flashed, and Cold Intent erupted.

His meridians were blocked!

If he hadn't only absorbed a little, his meridians would have become increasingly clogged.

These Elemental Energy, to the body, are impurities!

This Elemental Energy was abnormal to begin with; Chen Yan carefully perceived his surroundings, and these red mists of SoulRefining containing Elemental Energy were only floating on his side.

Someone was targeting him.

He hadn't been able to sense it before because he hadn't been practicing his Cultivation Technique.

If he hadn't been practicing the 【Deep Abyss Art】, and knew nothing about the human body's meridians, blindly absorbing these would only make his body feel increasingly uncomfortable.

With his meridians blocked, Awakening would only become more difficult.

Damn it!

A cold intent surfaced in the depths of Chen Yan's pupils; this Blood-Sniffing Room was managed by Chu Feiyuan.

A murderous intent filled Chen Yan's heart, his baleful energy roiling, and he found himself unable to extricate himself from it.

After a long while.

His body pressed against the green wall engraved with the Array Disk.

Hiss!

The high temperature forced Chen Yan back in an instant.

This green wall was so hot!

And it was getting hotter and hotter.

Against such intense heat from the green wall, the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent could not even exert an influence.

Chen Yan's pupils flashed; he stopped circulating the 【Deep Abyss Art】 and instead cautiously released the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent, gradually invading the interior of the green wall.

Chen Yan sensed the surrounding temperature; after the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent entered the green wall, it continued to penetrate deeper.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

The Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent spread continuously, bit by bit swallowing the Ice Element Energy and SoulRefining mixed within these Elemental Energy.

The Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent possessed the ability to Swallow Ice Element and SoulRefining; this was something Chen Yan had known back at the Town Martial Officer.

Unlike circulating the 【Deep Abyss Art】, the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent was like a magnet; Ice Element Energy of the same origin would be absorbed by the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent.

But other elements that were not of the same origin would be repelled by the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent.

This was the benefit of Awakening and breaking limits; the Cultivation Method you practice can absorb SoulRefining, and your Origin talent can absorb it just the same.

The progress was extremely fast.

And Chen Yan, he still had the Sacred Tree.

【Po Saint Realm: Level 3 (33/75)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Strength: (95/100)

Blood (100/100)

Technique: (13/100)

Body: (43/100)】

With a 【Blood】 Sacred Fruit swallowed, the SoulRefining within Chen Yan's heart became even more vigorous.

The Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent was still absorbing Ice Element and SoulRefining; Chen Yan perceived every part of his heart, and the Qi-Blood Storage Degree was already at about twenty percent.

The Ice Element Energy within the green wall was not actually much, as it was too mixed.

But now, it could be considered as having given Chen Yan a direction to continuously strengthen the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent.

Chen Yan circulated the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent deeper and deeper into the green wall; the cold intent, like a living thing, gradually passed through the green wall and through pipe after pipe.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and Chen Yan felt strange in his heart.

He had originally been worried about the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent leaking out, but the temperature inside those pipes was too high, and the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent could not affect it at all.

Continuing deeper, the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent arrived at a sealed space where various Ancient Beast Flesh were soaked in blood water; the blood water was boiling, and the temperature had reached a new level, at least one thousand degrees.

Rolling SoulRefining floated out from within and was transported to the Blood-Sniffing Room via the pipes.

Chen Yan's eyes lit up; so the red mist came from here.

The Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent was being melted, and Chen Yan continued to release it.

Absorb!

Chen Yan gritted his teeth and absorbed with all his might!

He had originally wanted to show some restraint, but since Chu Feiyuan was harming him like this, why should he bother acting like a person?

Hiss!

Inside the Blood Pool, Cold Light shone brilliantly, and the Extinct Hibernation Cold Intent began to absorb frantically!

Chen Yan began to focus on his heart, where the SoulRefining content was increasing more and more.

It was like pouring water, slowly rising.

Another 【Blood】 Sacred Fruit matured.

Two!

Three!

Four!

…………

Five...

Had he eaten too much?

Chen Yan's heartbeat accelerated; he felt a bit stuffed himself.

It is a bit much, isn't it?

Six!

Seven!

…………

Chen Yan kept swallowing them, not circulating the 【Great Abyss Technique】, his heart purely containing these Qi Blood Energy sources, feeling as if it were about to explode.

Eight!

Nine!

Ten!

Chen Yan gritted his teeth, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, with Ice Crystal forming all around him.

It was reaching the Limit.

Eleven!

This was different from his time at the Town Martial Officer, where he would circulate the 【Great Abyss Technique】 while cultivating, so the Qi Blood entering his heart had been refined.

But this time, Chen Yan was swallowing the Qi Blood raw, without any 【Great Abyss Technique】 processing at all.

And it was at this moment.

Clang, clang, clang...

The container storing the Beast Meat began to tremble; Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and withdrew his Yin Zhe.

"What's going on?"

Chu Feiyuan rushed to the Qi Xue Shi and asked the teacher operating the rear controls.

"It seems someone is absorbing too fast, or perhaps I released too much impure blood energy."

The teacher spoke sheepishly.

Chu Feiyuan touched the giant container holding the Beast Meat and Frown:

"It must be that too much impure blood energy was released; adjust it."

"Yes!" The teacher adjusted the Ji Hua.

…………

Chen Yan, however, did not dare to continue absorbing, instead circulating his Yin Zhe to cautiously absorb the cold air within the Ice Crystal beside him.

Feeling as if his whole body had expanded significantly, he Stood Up, his legs weak.

Fortunately, Luo Puxin had added some restrictions for him regarding the placement of the Qi Blood, so Chen Yan was not as worried.

But now, the Qi Blood within Chen Yan's heart had risen significantly, feeling as if it were nearly at fifty percent.

Had he absorbed a bit too much?

Chen Yan did not know.

He walked out of the Blood-Sniffing Room with a flushed face, looking quite unwell.

"Chen Yan, you lasted so long!"

To the side, Wu Chuqi had also just finished, exclaiming in amazement.

Five hours!

For someone who had not undergone Awakening to last this long in the Blood-Sniffing Room was extremely agonizing.

Seeing Chen Yan's complexion, his expression became even more complex:

"You are too desperate."

His own younger brother's desperation was just for show, incomparable to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan said nothing and walked out of the Blood-Sniffing Room.

"Chen Yan, what's wrong?" Seeing Chen Yan like this, Chu Feiyuan knew it was due to the impure blood energy, but he still put on an appearance of extreme concern.

Chen Yan shook his head, his face flushed red.

Chu Feiyuan asked with concern:

"Perhaps it is the Blood-Sniffing Room; my Chu Family has better Blood-Sniffing Rooms, but they can only be used if you sign with the Chu Family.

Those my Chu Family signs are all true geniuses; you should..."

As he spoke, he kept an eye on Chen Yan's complexion.

But he saw Chen Yan slowly shake his head:

"Teacher Chu, I am truly uncomfortable; I must go back to rest first."

His heart really felt like it was about to explode.

Chu Feiyuan was about to say something more, but seeing Chen Yan in such pain, he had no choice but to give up.

Chen Yan left, killing intent filling his eyes.

Only now did he understand why there had been so much Elemental Energy on his side.

It turned out that Chu Feiyuan wanted to sign him, wanting to let him stumble first, and then help him up.

To make him feel endlessly grateful, to make him foolishly act as a dog for the other party.

Damn it!

If he hadn't undergone Awakening, he would have foolishly absorbed this energy.

He would have been a Waste, with no hope of ever achieving Awakening.

"He is too desperate." Wu Chuqi's expression was extremely complex.

Chen Yan was indeed desperate; such a person had almost had his spot snatched by a Waste like Zhang Qingsi.

Thinking of something, he looked at Chen Yan's back and continued:

"Be careful of Li Shaowu."

Chen Yan did not answer and left with quick steps.

Chu Feiyuan watched Chen Yan's back and Frown.

He only wanted to let Chen Yan realize the unbearable nature of the school's Blood-Sniffing Room, and had not expected it to turn out like this.

Arriving at the room where Beast Meat was kept, Chu Feiyuan shouted in a low voice at the teacher:

"Why did you release so much mixed-blood energy? This kid looks like he's really about to be crippled by you!"

The teacher was innocent, it was you who requested it, and subsequently changed the subject:

"Brother Chu, it seems time to change to new blood food; this batch of energy feels insufficient."

Chu Feiyuan was greatly shocked:

"How is that possible?!"

"Those in the True Martial Class are, after all, all geniuses; it's normal for them to absorb it quickly," the teacher laughed sheepishly.

Chu Feiyuan's expression was extremely ugly; damn Luo Puxin.

…………

So bloated!

The heart felt like it was about to explode.

Chen Yan's expression was pained; it was all Chu Feiyuan's fault.

Must kill him!

The moment he rushed into the Cultivation Room, Chen Yan roared.

"Ha!"

Boom!

A wave of air, just like a biting cold Wind Element, was exhaled by Chen Yan, carrying within it countless Bone-piercing Ice Crystal.

Like the breath of an Ice Dragon, countless fine Ice Crystal fragments struck the surrounding walls, booming and resounding.

Feeling a bit more comfortable, Chen Yan immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the 【Great Abyss Art】.

Suppress, suppress again!

After a long while, Chen Yan's expression eased slightly, and the SoulRefining within his heart became increasingly stable.

The Qi Blood Energy within the heart began to transform into Yin-Zhe, condensing and shrinking.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was cold; he had to blame Chu Feiyuan for being in such discomfort.

At the entrance of Xiao Yuan, Luo Puxin's expression carried a trace of hesitation.

"How should I tell Chen Yan?" he whispered softly.

Earlier, Shen Yiwei had called, and after much deliberation, still suggested that Chen Yan give up the path of SoulRefining.

To give up a Heavenly Pride with a one-in-ten-thousand possibility of a Limit-Breaking Awakening.

And to preserve a true Horizontal Forging Prodigy.

Chen Yan's talent for Horizontal Refinement was already extremely high, but his talent for SoulRefining was truly difficult to achieve.

Luo Puxin hesitated, arrived inside the room in an instant, his five senses erupting, and walked toward the Cultivation Room.

"Hmm?"

A wave of Cold Intent struck, and Luo Puxin was Stun for a moment; what was going on?

He gripped the door handle of the Cultivation Room with one hand; the coldness struck, and Luo Puxin's brows Frown.

"Chen Yan, it's me." Luo Puxin spoke.

With a click, the door opened.

Whoosh!

As if suddenly standing on a cold peak, the biting Cold Intent scraped against Luo Puxin, leaving him completely bewildered.

"Hmm?" Luo Puxin narrowed his Pupil to look at the Cultivation Room that had already frozen over, his heart beating violently.

"Brother Luo, you're here," Chen Yan said with Laughter.

Luo Puxin looked at the Cultivation Room that had been frozen into an ice cave, his whole person Stun.

Holy Crap, what is this?
