Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheng Baosheng’s whole body turned into blood, then reassembled and condensed into human form.
However, gray death energy entwined around his wounds, preventing the blood from merging.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Xu Zhenling’s mouth curled up. This was his confidence when he whe recovery ability of the blood body, he had
As Cheng Baosheng’s blood body was about to collapse again, the blood suddenly began to boil, emitting steam and rapidly raising the temperature around him.
“Plop, plop, plop, plop…
Under this high temperature, the death energy quickly dissipated, and the blood reassembled and recovered.
The smile on Xu Zhenling’s face disappeared, replaced with a solemn expression. He used Blood Burst Technique to enhance his arm and wildly swung his sword, unleashing a gray-red sword aura.
Facing the overwhelming sword aura, Cheng Baosheng remained calm and composed. He suddenly exploded before the sword aura could reach him.
“Boom!”
A huge impact shook the ground and dispersed the sword aura, causing the formation light to flicker.
The chief disciple hurriedly used his magic power to stabilize the array and prevent it from collapsing.
Meanwhile, Cheng Baosheng’s self-destruction produced blood splatters that were like sharp arrows, covering the entire arena.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft…
Xu Zhenling was immediately shot through by the blood splatters, and his body was riddled with wounds.
Not only that, but his whole body began to turn red and blister, as if scalded by boiling water.
Xu Zhenling tried to repair his wounds, but his body was incredibly hot, and he felt like he was about to ignite.
Instead of healing, his pierced body began to melt like a lit candle.
The burning was not only on his body, but also on his consciousness, and Xu Zhenling couldn’t help but scream.
He was poisoned by fire!
After the attributes merged into his blood, it became the strongest attack method.
In addition, with Cheng Baosheng’s self-explosion, blood mist filled the air and the scorching heat and poison in his blood were released. The arena, which was wrapped in a formation, turned into a sauna, and the temperature rapidly increased.
Under this high temperature, Xu Zhenling’s blood body began to boil like boiling water.
However, he had never learned the Blood Boiling Scripture, and his blood could not withstand this temperature. His whole body showed signs of losing control, and he had to forcefully suppress it with his mana.
The blood spilled by Cheng Baosheng’s explosion on the ground seemed to be drawn together and began to reassemble and condense into his body.
“Cheng Baosheng is going to win,” the direct disciple watching from below the stage expressed his opinion.
“This is a strategy of self-injury and hurting the enemy a thousand times.”
“Cheng Baosheng relied on the undying characteristic of his blood body to use the Demon Disintegration Technique to self-destruct and dissolve the sword light. At the same time, he used his blood as an attack method to inflict severe burns and poison on Xu Zhenling.”
“He also used an array formation to turn the arena into a high-temperature environment that suited himself, further expanding his advantage and weakening the opponent.”
“Cheng Baosheng is using the restrictions of the arena to his advantage. It’s not very sportsmanlike!”
“Right, if they were not on the stage, Xu Zhenling could still avoid it and withdraw from the high-temperature range, and there might be a chance for victory.”
Hearing these conversations, Zhang Chen felt that he still did not have enough spells at his disposal. IfI have time, should I learn the Demon Disintegration Technique? It seems very useful.
If he were on the stage, he would be in a difficult situation in the face of such circumstances.
Hong Longguang, who had been smiling all along, had an unpleasant look on his face.
His gaze returned to the stage, where Cheng Baosheng’s body had already recondensed, but his breath was weak, and his body no longer emitted high temperature.
Xu Zhenling’s situation was even worse. In addition to the high temperature, he was also facing the continuous erosion of the fire poison in his body.
In this situation of internal and external difficulties, he found it difficult to even mobilize his mana.
He knew he was going to lose, but he still wanted to fight to the end.
“Thud…
Xu Zhenling forced all the fire poison in his body to his arm and slashed down with his sword.
In other words, he gave up this part of his blood essence and cultivation.
“Plop, plop, plop, plop…
His severed arm fell to the ground and immediately turned into boiling blood, causing the jade stone floor of the arena to turn red-hot.
Cheng Baosheng seemed to have anticipated this and reached out to grab the blood on the ground, sucking it into his body to refine it.
“Kill!” he shouted angrily, his whole body full of murderous intent, and the sword qi covered the sky.
“Boom!” Cheng Baosheng used the ‘Demon Disintegration Technique’ to self-destruct once again.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft…
Xu Zhenling’s body was once again covered in wounds, broken and in a state of ruin. The presence of the fire poison not only prevented him from repairing his body, but also caused his injuries to continuously worsen.
It was really difficult to deal with such a tactic of injuring the enemy at the cost of self-harm in the arena.
Cheng Baosheng’s body reformed. His breath became weaker but the smile on his face grew more intense.
“There’s no need to continue. We admit defeat,” Hong Longguang said helplessly.
“Junior Brother, are you sure you want to admit defeat?” The chief disciple asked.
“We admit defeat.” Hong Longguang nodded.
“Alright, I announce that in this competition, the Alchemy House is the winner!” he declared.
“Senior Brother Hong, thank you for conceding!” The Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy House cupped his hands proudly.
Hong Longguang said nothing.
“Junior Brother Gu, remember to exchange my share for blood essence later.” The chief disciple said to the Eldest Senior Brother of the Alchemy House before turning into a blood light and leaving.
In the arena, the hot blood mist began to shrink, and Cheng Baosheng reabsorbed it into his body.
Just like how steam condensed back into water after cooling, this blood mist could also turn back into blood.
“Eldest Senior Brother, they…” Xu Zhenling looked resentful as he walked down the arena angrily.
“We may have lost the battle, but not the war. No need to say more, we lost this time, but we can win again in the future.” Hong Longguang shook his head.
“Yes.” Xu Zhenling hung his head in disappointment.
For Zhang Chen, losing in the Beast Garden actually had its benefits. The Alchemy House could provide him with demon blood for cultivation, which might increase his strength.
“Let’s go.” Hong Longguang turned around and left with everyone.
Although Zhang Chen still wanted to explore, he chose to follow them.
After all, they had the same master, so he had to be more gregarious to prevent grudges from forming and estrangement from the group.
After arriving at Hong Longguang’s cave, they first scolded the Alchemy House for not playing fair, then began to discuss how to increase the distribution of demon blood by 20 percent.
Zhang Chen had just been promoted and hadn’t been assigned any duties in the Beast Garden, so he didn’t participate.
After leaving Hong Longguang’s cave abode, Zhang Chen went to the Technique Exchange Pavilion and exchanged for the Demon Disintegration Technique.
[Detected cultivation technique, Demon Disintegration Technique. It gathers all the blood and mana in the body and explodes with tremendous force, annihilating the enemy.]
[Side effects: Each use will damage the soul, frequent usage in a short time may lead to soul dispersion.]
[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]
[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]
The Demon Disintegration Technique was indeed a perfect match for the undying blood body.
However, although he wouldn’t die, the consumption of the Demon Disintegration Technique” was very high, and each time it was used, at least one third of his mana would be lost.
Zhang Chen’s idea was to teach it to the Blood God Son, so that it could self-destruct when facing an enemy that couldn’t be harmed, compensating for the Blood God Son’s weakness in attack..
