Chapter 346: Qualified Sequence! Lord of True Blood!

Su Ming's grip on Zhao Xinghe's arm was a little stiff.

He felt it.

In the deepest part of the spirit sea.

Beneath the massive wave of that spiritual energy, something forced its way in.

A red‑black orb, exuding an ancient, mysterious aura!

This fluctuation, this form.

He knew it all too well!

It was exactly the same as the one Xia Weiwei blasted at him!

Qualified ability!

Zhao Xinghe, a girl who had been completely ordinary and even plagued by illness.

Through this series of actions, she truly became a Qualified Person!

Was it Heaven's Will or human contrivance?

And that's not all.

This red‑black orb…

Was different from the ones seen before.

Or rather, it was incomplete.

His eyes saw it crystal clear—

The orb split into two.

One half floated silently deep within Zhao Xinghe's soul.

The other half rooted itself firmly in his spirit sea, thoroughly mingling with his soul's aura.

And that's not all.

From this moment on, he no longer even needed external perception.

The spirit entity on Zhao Xinghe's body was seen with absolute clarity.

"Can you still play like this?"

Su Ming muttered something in his heart.

Qualified ability, this kind of thing that as soon as it appears is basically the standard equipment of a child of the Mandate of Heaven…

And it could even be split into two, shared by two people?

Six hundred sixty‑six!

The red‑black orb anchored itself firmly in the spirit sea.

Lines of interwoven red‑black characters finally rendered.

【Qualified】 sequence: 44 【Killing Edge】

Sequence name: Lord of True Blood 【Killing Edge】

Sequence effect: Source of ten‑thousand blood, immune to 99% of worldly mental pollution and Karma curses! The most prominent energy of any creature slain by the host will be automatically drawn through the 【Blood Net】, stripping all impurity and resentment, converting into the purest spiritual energy to nourish the host, boosting spiritual power!

Special state: Symbiosis! Affected by the protective Dao contract, this sequence has been split into 【Killing Edge】 and 【Purification Edge】!

Serial number 44?!

Su Ming's breath missed a beat.

Way earlier!

The 【Jing Zhe】 he had previously encountered, that 【Divine Warrior】 sequence, was at 【009】.

Two characters—defying Heaven.

Now, when he meets those higher‑dimensional beings, he has no ability to fight back at all.

【44】 may not match that monster, but it's still within the top hundred.

The effect can't be inferior!

You should know that even Xia Weiwei's 【438】 sequence, Infinite Green, is considered a minor artifact when used well.

And the card he holds…

Immune to 99% mental pollution.

Killing restores mana.

Comes with Blood Net absorption.

Isn't this a walking 【Soul Dagger】?

Alright, alright!

The next second, Su Ming fixed his gaze on Zhao Xinghe in his arms.

The little girl slept soundly.

Her breathing was long, and a drool hung at the corner of her mouth.

Golden light swirled deep within Su Ming's pupils.

Perhaps because of the dual 【Qualified】 connection, his vision now was absurdly clear.

Deep within Zhao Xinghe's soul, that half of the red‑black orb unfolded.

Like a silent blooming spider lily in the dark night.

Lines of red‑black text appeared.

【Qualified】 sequence: 44 【Purification Edge】

Sequence name: Lord of True Blood 【Purification Edge】

Sequence effect 1: Purest body! Within thirty meters of the host, all negative Karma, mental pollution, and curse‑erosion effects automatically decay by 10% every five seconds, down to a minimum of 30%.

Sequence Effect 2: Good and Evil! Shares the blood web with the Killing side! The spirit energy that the Killing side extracts from slain beings, 1% will be fed back to the Purification side!

Hm?

Su Ming flipped over these two effects and looked at them twice.

Then he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

It wasn't disappointment.

It was the feeling of scratching a lottery ticket and hitting the top prize, your hand shaking so you have to pause for two seconds.

"That's a bit absurd!"

His Killing side restores mana on a kill.

Zhao Xinghe's Purification side controls the area, reduces debuffs, and can also earn idle profit from his side.

He eats meat, she drinks soup.

He initiates killing, she purifies.

The more kills, the stronger both sides become.

What is this called?

It's called a perfect closed loop!

"Area purification, weakening curses, Mental Pollution…"

First Emperor's Tomb.

That place.

There should be a legion of undead, right?

According to the intel Chen gave, the First Emperor's Tomb's most troublesome thing isn't how strong the Terracotta Warriors are.

It's the whole tomb, suffused with millennia‑old dragon qi that backfires.

An ordinary person stepping inside finds their spirit power corroded like being soaked in dilute hydrochloric acid, each second being eroded.

Can't last half an hour; even iron‑clad will breaks.

But if…

What if you bring Zhao Xinghe along?

Within thirty meters it auto‑purifies, cutting all negative effects down to thirty percent.

Then wouldn't that be like taking a mobile purification chamber into a gas chamber?

The thought flashed, and Su Ming lowered his head to glance at the little girl in his arms.

No.

How old is Zhao Xinghe?

Bringing a primary‑school student into the First Emperor's Tomb…

That's not protecting the path; it's like taking a minor into a KTV.

Isn't the risk a bit too high…

【How about it?】

In his mind, Huochai Ge and his guys' voices chimed in at the right moment.

"You already knew, what kind of effect would this fusion produce?"

Su Ming asked.

【I know the general direction, but I'm not sure what grade the specific result will reach.】

Huochai Ge wasn't holding back.

【The Speaker only knows that once the protection contract takes effect, Karma resonance is a sure thing.】

【But what exactly the resonance produces depends on each of your foundations and destinies.】

【But judging by the current result—】

【The timing is right, and the people are right.】

Su Ming was silent for two seconds.

"Thanks!"

"Mr. Su... how... how is it?"

Behind him, Zhao Gang's voice trembled a bit.

Next to him, his wife's eyes were already reddening.

"Don't worry."

Su Ming turned around, his tone relaxed.

"The condition is better than I expected."

"The seal took, no rejection, the spirit body side cooperated smoothly."

"That's good."

Zhao Gang and his wife exchanged a glance.

The worry that had hung for so many days finally settled back into their stomachs a bit.

After all, they both trust Mr. Su.

"But—"

Su Ming's tone suddenly shifted.

"There's something that must be clarified now."

Zhao Gang subconsciously straightened his posture.

"The thing inside our daughter's body is fiercer than my earlier assessment."

Su Ming's wording is very straightforward, no beating around the bush.

"Simply put, she now carries a fully automatic purifier with her."

"Within a radius of thirty meters, any curse, Mental Pollution, or lingering resentment that reaches her is automatically weakened."

"And it's not a matter of brute resistance."

"She simply ingests the foul stuff, digests it cleanly, and can even feed it back."

Zhao Gang's Adam's apple bobbed.

Though his wife didn't fully grasp the technical terms, she could sense the weight behind his words.

Their daughter—

…is not ordinary.

Or rather, she's very strong!

"That also means she'll be extremely valuable in the future."

Su Ming said it without any euphemism.

"Not the kind of value measured in money."

"I told you before that in the future there will be many beings you can't even imagine now; treat her as a walking big tonic."

The color in Zhao Gang and his wife's faces faded little by little.

Su Ming watched their expressions without pausing.

"The protective path contract has already been signed. As long as I'm alive, I can sense her condition at any time."

"But a contract is a contract; growth is another matter."

Su Ming rubbed his face.

He's weighing his options!

"Right now there are two paths."

"The first—quick!"

Zhao Gang's breathing visibly paused.

"I need to go somewhere right away."

Su Ming's gaze sank.

"That place is riddled with millennial resentment and undead curses—extremely dangerous."

"But if I bring Xing He, her purification ability can shield me from a large amount of negative effects."

"Conversely, that high‑concentration environment would be a top‑tier training ground for her, and her growth rate would become absurdly fast."

Su Ming paused for a beat.

"But the risk is equally absurd."

"I'll do everything I can to protect her."

"But I can't give a hundred‑percent guarantee."

In the bedroom, it was so quiet you could hear the second hand of the quartz clock on the wall ticking.

Tick.

Tick.

Gurgle—!

Zhao Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"What about the second path?"

His voice was already hoarse.

"Stay in Jiangzhou."

"You watch over her yourselves, letting the spirit body grow at its own pace."

"The speed is slow, but in the short term it will be very stable."

Su Ming hesitated briefly.

"Only that stretching the timeline also stretches the window period."

"The longer the window, the higher the chance of something going wrong."

The pros and cons were laid out on the table.

No inducement.

No bias.

Just as I told Zhao Xinghe before—

"You decide yourself."

The bedroom fell silent again.

Zhao Gang lowered his head, crossed his ten fingers, and repeatedly rubbed the old callus on his thumb's web.

His wife stood beside him, at a loss, moving her lips several times before swallowing them back.

For a full minute and a bit.

Zhao Gang lifted his head.

"Mr. Su!"
