Chapter 7: Blood-Flesh Controller, I, Immortal!

"What is this?"

Su Hao had just entered the wooden hut when he felt the surrounding air turn into a viscous liquid, making breathing somewhat difficult, and at the same time, the bloodlust in his mind grew stronger.

In the corner of the room lay a pale skeleton, above its skull hovering a drop of scarlet blood inscribed with mysterious runes.

At a glance, Su Hao knew that the air's viscosity and the sudden surge of his bloodlust were both because of this drop of blood.

【Blood Mage Rune】

Effect: After a blood mage dies, the overflowing supernatural power within their body condenses into a blood mage rune; using it may turn one into a blood mage, or cause degeneration into a blood mage that only knows slaughter.

"Indeed, it's right here—got it without any effort!"

Looking at the result shown by the Item Appraisal Technique, Su Hao excitedly waved his arms.

As long as he swallows this drop of blood, he will no longer be an ordinary human but a supernatural being with special abilities.

To survive better in the apocalypse, becoming a supernatural being is the most important step!

However, becoming a supernatural being is not without risk.

If, after swallowing the blood mage rune, one cannot withstand the supernatural power it contains, they can still become a blood mage, but will be a blood mage devoid of reason.

Whether it is a blood mage rune or a warrior rune, using it carries this risk; when you choose a supernatural sequence, the supernatural sequence also chooses you.

If one cannot withstand the test, they will fall and become a puppet of supernatural power.

Especially after such a supernatural being dies, the recondensed supernatural power into a rune still harbors the being's dying resentment, making the risk of degeneration even greater.

"Right!"

Suddenly, Su Hao had a flash of insight, grasped the blood mage rune on the skeleton in his palm, stepped to the side, took out three butcher hearts, and used the Synthesis Heart on them.

Perhaps after synthesis, this can cleanse the resentment within the blood mage rune, and the synthesized rune might become even stronger.

Of course.

The premise is that supernatural sequence runes can also be used for synthesis.

Not long after, as the golden light covering the three butcher hearts faded, a larger heart, appearing to be entirely made of blood, appeared in Su Hao's hand.

【Scarlet Heart】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: A heart infused with a thread of pure scarlet power; consuming it has a certain chance to strengthen physique, increase blood production speed, and enhance recovery ability.

"Looks like that's what I thought."

Su Hao stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

Through these few syntheses, he gained a preliminary understanding of the Synthesis Heart.

When two different materials are synthesized, one material acts as the base, undergoing mutation and evolution under the influence of the other.

For example, a knife plus a whetstone becomes a sharper short blade.

Another example, armor plus stone becomes sturdier stone armor.

When three identical materials are synthesized, they become a completely new and stronger item, such as the scarlet heart now.

Before synthesis, the butcher heart only had a certain chance to increase physique, but carried a risk of degeneration.

But after synthesis, the effect of increasing physique remains, and it also gains the effects of increasing blood production speed and enhancing recovery ability.

Most importantly, consuming the scarlet heart carries no risk of degeneration and has no negative effects.

"Phew! Now we just see if the blood mage rune can be synthesized!"

Su Hao took a deep breath, held the scarlet heart in one hand and the blood mage rune in the other, and used the Synthesis Heart for the second time today.

In a golden light, the scarlet heart and blood mage rune slowly approached, merging into a golden orb.

Seeing this, Su Hao's suspended heart fell halfway; this at least proves that the blood mage rune can be used for synthesis.

As for whether the Synthesis Heart with beginner proficiency can complete this synthesis, it's uncertain.

Under Su Hao's tense gaze, after about three minutes, the golden light gradually began to fade, and a heart the size of a chicken egg, inscribed with mysterious runes, appeared in his hand.

【Blood-Flesh Controller Rune】

Effect: Upon consumption, gain a special supernatural sequence—Blood-Flesh Controller!

"This actually has no side effects?!!"

Su Hao's eyes widened instantly, joy overflowing his expression.

According to his knowledge, all supernatural runes carry a risk of degeneration upon use; according to data released by the official Divine Xia of his previous life, this risk is as high as thirty percent.

But the synthesized Blood-Flesh Controller Rune has no risk of degeneration.

Moreover, according to the information from the Item Appraisal Technique, this is also a special supernatural sequence.

From a certain perspective, being special also means being stronger.

No risk of degeneration, and the supernatural sequence's abilities are stronger—what is there to hesitate about?

Su Hao immediately took off his helmet and stuffed the heart representing the Blood-Flesh Controller Rune into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, the heart turned into a special power that merged into Su Hao's blood throughout his body.

Immediately after.

With a bang, Su Hao's body exploded, leaving only a skeleton inside his armor.

His flesh, skin, and organs all turned into bloody mud, spraying out from the armor's gaps and silently floating in the air around the armor.

Thud—!

Thud—thud—!

Thudthudthud—!

……

After a short while, a powerful heartbeat sound suddenly came from within the meat paste, then a second, a third, growing stronger and stronger.

Amidst these increasingly rapid heartbeat sounds, the flesh and blood floating around began to slowly flow, seeping bit by bit into the gaps of the armor, reassembling Su Hao's flesh, skin, and organs, and his body gradually returned to its original state.

Is this what it feels like to be an extraordinary being?

Su Hao moved his body a little; he felt that the power within him was stronger than when he had used the berserk potion.

The stone armor, which had previously hindered his movements somewhat, now felt like no burden at all when worn.

Moreover, he had a premonition that even if his head were chopped off, he wouldn't die; as long as he reattached his bones, he could fully recover!

Feeling curious, Su Hao opened his personal information panel.

【Su Hao】

Extraordinary Sequence: Blood-Flesh Controller.

Rank: First Rank.

Skills: Item Refining Technique, Item Appraisal Technique, Blood Control Technique.

Talent: Synthesis Heart.

……

"Just gained one more skill?"

Su Hao frowned slightly and opened the detailed information for the Blood Control Technique.

【Blood Control Technique】

Proficiency: Beginner

Effect: Can control one's own or another's blood; the stronger the mental power, the better the control.

……

"Hiss! This skill is not bad!"

Su Hao sucked in a breath of cold air; according to the description of the Blood Control Technique's effect, doesn't this mean that as long as my mental power is strong enough, I can directly drain an enemy's blood or, by controlling the blood, crush their organs?

If a person's blood is drained and their organs are crushed, isn't that just death?

This is far more mysterious and powerful than many elemental magics!

Since the innate skills of a Blood-Flesh Controller are this powerful, the Extraordinary Sequence itself must surely not be lacking either.

Thinking this, Su Hao's mind stirred slightly, and he opened the information panel for the Extraordinary Sequence.

【Blood-Flesh Controller】

Effect: You possess a powerful regenerative ability; as long as a fragment of your heart remains, you will not die, and any damage to your flesh, blood, and organs can be quickly recovered by consuming flesh and blood.

You can learn blood magic, and by consuming blood, you can strengthen your physique and mental power without limit.

……

"What the fuck?! Isn't this equivalent to half an undying body?"

Su Hao rubbed his eyes until his eye sockets turned red, only then confirming he wasn't seeing things.

After becoming a Blood-Flesh Controller, as long as Su Hao protects his bones and heart, he cannot possibly die!

Moreover, he can in the future learn blood magic to gain more skills.

More importantly, he can also increase his physique and mental power by consuming blood, with no upper limit!!!

"In this life, I shall be invincible!"

Su Hao calmed his excited emotions, the corners of his mouth slightly rose, revealing a confident smile.

Afterwards, he searched the room; seeing nothing else missed, he headed toward the building resembling a church.
