Chapter 322: Ao Hongchen's Teaching, Level 39 Divine Shock

In the Hong Shen Courtyard, Hong Jishi sat there absentmindedly, cradling a teacup, yet felt that the fine tea had become tasteless.

"Lao Li, do you think Xiao Chen can succeed?" he asked Li Xueru, no longer calling Jiang Chen a kid, but now referring to him as Xiao Chen.

Li Xueru chuckled, "You, you worry and cause chaos. A mighty Hong Shen, how could he worry about such a thing?"

Hong Jishi sighed, "Xiao Chen's killing aura is too massive; if he has already reached Third Transcendence, perhaps even beyond Level 60, I wouldn't worry. I believe at that point he would fully be able to wield the killing aura. But now..."

Li Xueru said, "Hasn't Lao Ao already taken action? With him around, what else do you have to worry about?"

Hong Jishi let out a light hum, "Giving him a disciple for free really cheapened him."

Li Xueru laughed lightly, "You should properly prepare Xiao Chen's Second Transcendence; after a while when he returns, it will be time to level up."

Hong Jishi said, "Everything's been prepared long ago; all is ready, just waiting for his return. The Second Transcendence is crucial, absolutely must not go wrong."

"Rest assured, it will definitely not go wrong."

In the Bloody Land, Jiang Chen, after successfully guiding the first strand of killing aura, sat again for ten days without moving an inch.

In the storage space there was a large amount of food left by Lin Cai'er, enough for him to eat for half a year.

Jiang Chen gradually mastered the Control of killing aura, injecting the fine threads of killing aura into the Domain Godstone.

Each strand of killing aura struck Jiang Chen's Spirit imprint, the guiding speed grew faster, and more and more killing aura surged into the Domain Godstone.

The Domain Godstone, like a monster that can never be satiated, can

easily Devour.

When Jiang Chen sent all the killing aura in, it still wasn't even one tenth.

"Finally, all the killing aura has been sent in."

Jiang Chen's thoughts became clear again, even surpassing before.

With this experience, Jiang Chen's resolve became sturdier than before.

A stir in his heart, the killing aura in the Domain Godstone roared out, like a Black Smoke surging skyward.

Jiang Chen stood amid the sky‑piercing killing aura, his gaze clear and calm.

These killing auras now belong entirely to him, no longer affecting him.

Conversely, under the massive killing aura's suppression, those weak‑willed enemies are instead affected.

Strength wanes, speed slows, will weakens, as if cursed.

The killing aura contracts, returning to the Domain Godstone.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath.

For over twenty days, he had never been this relaxed.

Footsteps came from outside the house; Ao Hongchen returned.

"Teacher, you have returned," Jiang Chen said respectfully.

His nose twitched, detecting a strong bloody scent.

The intensity of this bloody scent was unprecedented.

Even during the city‑slaughter, he had never smelled it.

The bloody scent came from an item in Ao Hongchen's hand.

A piece of beast meat.

It was only a piece of beast meat slightly larger than a palm, yet it emitted such a powerful bloody scent.

Ao Hongchen glanced at Jiang Chen, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, then raised his hand and tossed the beast meat toward him, "Eat it."

He then added, "Eat it raw, right now."

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen began to gnaw it raw.

Despite the overwhelming bloody scent of the meat, it tasted with no trace of blood.

Instead it carried a hint of sweetness, melting in the mouth.

The flavor was even better than the meat of the Earth Touch Dragon God.

Jiang Chen could not comprehend, such a massive bloody scent was actually

where it came from.

Seeing Jiang Chen eat the meat without hesitation, Ao Hongchen showed a satisfied expression, "Don't you ask what this meat is?"

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, "It was given by the teacher, no need to ask."

Ao Hongchen chuckled, "Hong Jishi told you, I call this place Bloody Land."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then do you know why it's called Bloody Land?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, not knowing.

Ao Hongchen said, "Bloody Land, an isolated space, a relic from antiquity."

"Hundreds of kilometers across, over one hundred thousand kilometers up and down."

Jiang Chen was startled; he had thought this was a tiny isolated space.

The vertical span actually reached one hundred thousand kilometers.

It turned out the space was a columnar space.

Ao Hongchen glanced and said, "Above or below, beyond ten thousand kilometers, there is a beast named Bloodthirsty Python; the meat you ate is its flesh."

Jiang Chen suddenly noticed a tear in Ao Hongchen's garment hem.

When he left, the hem was intact.

Moreover, there seemed to be a bit of blood on the clothing.

Not only that, the Blade also bore bloodstains.

"Teacher, are you injured?"

Ao Hongchen chuckled lightly. "It's nothing. After all, the Bloodthirsty Python is a Divine Level beast. To cut its flesh and blood, you have to pay some price."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen felt a surge of gratitude in his heart.

The words Ao Hongchen had spoken to him didn't even add up to ten sentences.

Yet he had gone to battle a Divine Level beast for his sake.

Ao Hongchen waved his hand. "I've lived here for decades and fought those guys countless times. I'm long used to it."

By now, Jiang Chen had finished all the beast meat. Ao Hongchen revealed a faint smile. "Finished? Get ready to enjoy yourself."

Enjoy?

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned.

The next second, a vast

force exploded within his body.

Intense pain struck, and Jiang Chen let out a muffled groan, his whole body trembling.

It hurt. It hurt terribly.

His entire body felt as if pierced by tens of thousands of needles.

Blood seeped out all over him; in the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had become a blood-soaked figure.

Jiang Chen didn't utter a single sound, but the excruciating pain made his body shake uncontrollably.

Even his handsome face twisted somewhat.

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Teacher, why is this happening?"

Ao Hongchen asked, "You've taken a Miracle Potion before, haven't you?"

"A Miracle Potion is made from the essence of Bloodthirsty Python flesh and blood, but after being processed into a potion, the effect is greatly weakened."

"To get the best effect, you have to eat it raw."

"You can eat it once before Second Transcendence, once after Second Transcendence, and once more after Third Transcendence."

"The effects increase progressively, and only then can you push your attributes to the limit."

Then he added disdainfully, "If you can't endure hardship, how can you qualify to become a supreme powerhouse?"

"A Beginner Miracle Potion only adds 200 attribute points. What use is that?"

"If you're a man, you have to endure hardship to reap the benefits."

"What you're eating is the top-grade Bloodthirsty Python meat—nothing a mere Miracle Potion can compare to."

So that was it. Jiang Chen had already noticed that his attributes were rapidly increasing.

A Beginner Miracle Potion causes no pain and increases All Attributes by 200.

But now, eating the Bloodthirsty Python's meat raw, though extremely painful, increases All Attributes by at least 2000.

The effect is equivalent to an Intermediate Miracle Potion, just a bit more painful.

If Jiang Chen had to choose, he would definitely choose the pain.

If you're a man, what's there to fear from pain!

Seeing Jiang Chen grit his teeth and endure without a sound, Ao Hongchen's expression was full of satisfaction.

Satisfaction.

"You're about to undergo Second Transcendence. When you do, you'll definitely pursue a Profession Ascension, right?"

"Then do you know what the root of Profession Ascension is?"

"There are several major requirements for Profession Ascension. First is luck. If your luck is bad, even a 99% chance is useless."

"Second is attributes. Attributes must break through the upper limit. The simplest way to break this limit is through Miracle Potions."

"So never underestimate the 200 attribute points a Miracle Potion brings. Even that small breakthrough can greatly increase the probability of Profession Ascension."

"Besides Miracle Potions, there are many other ways to break attribute limits. For example, the Divine Power in the Ancient Battlefield, the Soul Crystals of Soul-eating Insects..."

"The more attribute breakthroughs you achieve, the higher the probability of Profession Ascension."

"Third are various items that boost Profession Ascension. For instance, the Battlefield Ghost King in the Otherworld Battlefield—its Nirvana Soul Crystal is a decent item."

"Apart from that, there are Job Change formations and other supplementary items that can further increase the probability of Profession Ascension."

Ao Hongchen spoke in great detail, nonstop.

He had lived alone here for decades, with no one to talk to.

Once he opened up, he couldn't stop.

Jiang Chen listened carefully. Hong Jishi had also told him about Profession Ascension.

But his easygoing nature meant he hadn't gone into great detail.

Now, after hearing all this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood.

No wonder those people valued Miracle Potions so much—it was to break attribute limits.

Thinking about it, his own attributes...

Ao Hongchen asked, "You've been to the Ancient Battlefield, right? Did you obtain the Divine Power?"

Jiang

Chen, his whole body in agony, gritted his teeth and said, "I did."

Ao Hongchen snorted. "That guy is somewhat reliable. What level is the Divine Power? Is it Level 5?"

Jiang Chen said, "Level 39..."

"Only Level 3..." Ao Hongchen was slightly disappointed. "Although each level only differs by 1% attribute bonus, at higher levels, the difference is still significant."

"But since it's already done, there's no helping it. It's better than nothing."

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and raised his voice a little. "Teacher, it's not Level 3. It's Level 39..."

Clatter...

Ao Hongchen's Blade fell to the ground.

Their eyes were filled with an incredulous expression.
