High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 225 - 193: Inventing a Second Secret Technique, the True Essence Blood

Chapter 225: Chapter 193: Inventing a Second Secret Technique, the True Essence Blood

[The second time, you tirelessly practice the Nameless Breathing Technique and the Blood Control Secret Technique, both have become an instinctive part of you. You begin to doubt yourself, as if the two really cannot be separated...]

...

[The ninth time, through repeated failures, your mastery of the Breathing Technique has improved, and your aptitude for the Breathing Technique has grown.]

[The tenth time, a flash of inspiration in a strange dream gives you insight, and you finally find a direction, but you still need time.]

[The eleventh time, you break through the shackles, successfully separating the two. Your mastery of the Nameless Breathing Technique improves, your mastery of the Blood Control Secret Technique improves, and you acquire a more powerful new secret technique, which you name the "Essence Blood Secret Technique".]

[Breathing Technique Aptitude: Can reduce the cultivation time of the Breathing Technique and slightly increase the chances of enlightenment.]

"Breathing Technique Aptitude? Reducing cultivation time and increasing enlightenment!"

"Essence Blood Secret Technique? It really does sound like something I would name."

At the moment Su Mu opens his eyes, his whole body trembles. With each breath, all his muscles and bones resonate, and his aura becomes hotter and longer.

"Is this... the Breathing Technique is about to break through!"

Su Mu never expected that his urgency to save lives would inadvertently elevate the level of his Breathing Technique.

In an instant, the Breathing Technique, which had progressed exceedingly slowly after reaching Great Success, shattered its bottleneck at this moment, and the sixteenth and seventeenth breathing movements began to merge.

What made Su Mu even more ecstatic was that he had previously attempted to integrate the Breathing Technique with the Fixed Star Body Refinement but always had no clue. In this breakthrough, he perceives an entirely new world.

After his increase in mastery of the Nameless Breathing Technique, he clearly sees the path and possibility of integrating the Fixed Star Body Refinement!

"I’ve found the direction... what remains is time."

Long after, Su Mu exhales a complete breath, the length of which surpasses that of the Blood Flood Dragon, breath like a dragon!

"After successfully merging the sixteenth and seventeenth cultivation movements, my Breathing Technique’s efficiency has directly doubled."

Su Mu roughly senses this, and cannot help but show great delight, but he does not allow himself to indulge further in his joy, as he hasn’t forgotten his initial purpose was to save lives.

Getting up, he walks to the side of the two.

"Again."

Su Mu once again feeds the two several Blood Essence Pills to protect their internals, then urges Blade Qi to break his own skin, letting pale golden blood flow from his palms, now having some appearance of the Giant’s Blood.

The pure Qi and Blood enter the two bodies, transforming into a fierce and brutal Fierce Beast, causing the two to immediately let out a stifled groan and begin to convulse.

This time, Su Mu starts to guide the two in operating the "Essence Blood Secret Technique". Although it’s their first time operating it, the secret technique derived from deduction runs without any hindrance, as if Su Mu had truly experienced that process during his deduction just now.

"This truly is ’Reading into Sainthood’."

Su Mu’s eyes suddenly brighten, the Essence Blood Secret Technique is effective. The Essence Blood Secret Technique originates from the Blood Control Secret Technique but is more efficient and has completely separated from the Nameless Breathing Technique, presenting a more powerful new secret technique.

The Essence Blood Secret Technique continually condenses Su Mu’s blood into Essence Blood, and the remaining parts begin to nourish the two bodies, on the brink of death.

Every drop of blood entering, under the dual effects of medicine and blood, gradually brings a flush to both faces, and signs of recovery in their internal organs begin to show.

As time passes second by second, at a certain moment, both faces are reddish, and their breathing becomes calm, while a terrifying Qi and Blood have formed within them.

Su Mu shows not a hint of exhaustion in his eyes but rather a gleam of delight. The bodies of the two are too fragile, forcing him to restrain the operation of the Essence Blood Secret Technique, but these limitations do not exist at all in Su Mu himself.

Moreover, having gained experience from operating it on the two, when Su Mu runs it himself, it opens the door to a new world.

The Blood Control Secret Technique, originally requiring the Nameless Breathing Technique to operate, now that it’s replaced by the Essence Blood Secret Technique, the Breathing Technique can be freed from the shackles, unleashing its full potential to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the Essence Blood Secret Technique does as well.

"The efficiency of extracting Condensed Blood has increased by at least three times!"

"Moreover, the purity of the newly Condensed Blood has improved... no, at present it’s the Essence Blood Secret Technique, so the refined product should be called Essence Blood."

Shuheng, his teacher, once annotated in the Blood Control Secret Technique that when the creator crafted the Blood Control Secret Technique, the thought process might be imitating some powerful Fierce Beasts.

Fierce Beasts have thick Qi and Blood, and some special Fierce Beasts are even naturally able to refine their own blood through certain techniques, which is Essence Blood. Such Fierce Beasts also burn Essence Blood and Blood Core to obtain greater explosive power when desperate, as was the case with the Fire Flood Dragon earlier.

"This is going to be true Essence Blood!"

...

"Hmm? Where is this?"

Ji Xiaoyan looks at the unfamiliar ceiling, rubbing her temples, sits up in bewilderment, and then she sees her companion in a pool of blood, the expression on her face immediately changes, and she shows sadness.

"Ling Xue... Ling Xue, how can you just die like this..."

"You’re the one who’s dead, can’t you hope for something good for me? "

Ling Xue, waking up, sits up and startles Ji Xiaoyan. Ling Xue is surrounded by dark red, such massive blood loss, yet she’s still alive.

"You’re not dead?"

"Not dead."

"Why do I feel like my whole body is filled with strength, and inside me, there’s an unbelievably terrifying Qi and Blood?"

"Now that you mention it, I seem to have that too?"

After exchanging a glance, the two of them looked at Su Mu, who was cultivating in the distance. Memories before they lost consciousness slowly surfaced, and they immediately recalled what had happened.

"I understand now, Master must have saved us!"

"Ji Xiaoyan, you have such thick skin... He didn’t say he wanted to take you as a disciple." Despite saying this, Ling Xue also felt a hint of longing in her heart.

Their conversation reached his ears, Su Mu gently exhaled, and in the instant he opened his eyes, the two instinctively took half a step back, feeling as if a giant dragon had awoken from slumber.

"How do you feel?"

"Master, we feel great, did you do something to us?"

"That’s good."

...

The two accepted the small booklets and two space rings handed over by Su Mu with both hands.

"What’s this?"

"The booklet contains a Qi Blood Secret Technique, which might help you control your Qi and Blood. You can try cultivating it later, but do not spread it, or you’ll bear the consequences. Now these two space rings are returned to their rightful owners."

"Master, do you mean to accept us as..."

"I didn’t mean that." Su Mu directly interrupted, giving Ji Xiaoyan no room for imagination.

"Now, I will send you out. Pretend that nothing that happened these few days exists, understood?"

"Understood!" They nodded like pounding garlic.

"By the way, Master."

Su Mu looked over, Ling Xue was startled, Ji Xiaoyan immediately took out a bag from her clothes, "The Fire Flood Dragon was killed by you, Master. These are the rings from hunters who died in the swamp area, I think these should all be yours, Master."

"Grandmaster, I, I also have a bag here, all for you."

In fact, Su Mu had discovered the bags of space rings on them when healing them, but he didn’t take them. Seeing Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue offering them voluntarily, he was somewhat surprised.

"Alright then, keep the weapons and metals inside; I only want these."

Soon, the Flood Dragon Cave was filled with another pile of weapons and metal blocks.

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

With a thought, the Golden Essence Armor turned into a golden, spherical film covering the two. Ji Xiaoyan looked back every three steps as she reluctantly left Crescent Ice Lake.

Su Mu returned to the Flood Dragon Cave, his gaze resting on the Fierce Beast Egg. Previously, he tried to place the Fierce Beast Egg into the ring, and to his surprise, the little creature inside immediately projected a sense of resistance.

Su Mu also suspected that this Fierce Beast Egg wasn’t a Fire Flood Dragon Egg as it emitted an aura vastly different from the Fire Flood Dragon, which became particularly apparent after he devoured the Fire Flood Dragon’s blood.

Su Mu guessed that the Fire Flood Dragon had snatched or stolen this egg from some powerful Fierce Beast, which was why it escaped to the second level to avoid being hunted by that powerful beast.

"Not yet hatched, yet already possesses Spiritual Power and high intellect."

"This little one inside is about to be born, it’s best to wait a few more days."

...

Meanwhile, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue, after leaving Crescent Ice Lake, encountered three Tier Four Fierce Beasts, Tusked Pigs, head-on. The leading Tusked Pig was a size larger than the others, looking like a small mountain of meat.

Their expressions changed drastically; they were both only Fourth Level Initial Stage Martial Artists with no real combat experience.

"Oh no, this is bad."

The Tusked Pigs sensed their panic and immediately showed ferocious expressions, charging forward.

Moments later, the field was filled with heart-wrenching wails, but they were not made by the two, but by the three Tusked Pigs, now lying in pools of blood.

Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue exchanged glances, their chests heaving violently, but their faces were full of disbelief.

"Wh-when did we become this strong?"

"Or are these big pigs just too weak?"
