Cheat

On the enormous throne sat a tall figure clad in armor, wings spread behind his back, seated with an imposing air.

Hearing his subordinate's report, his eyes gleamed as he waved a hand. "Give it to him. However much he wants, give him that much."

Hell's Envoy froze slightly, finding it hard to believe.

The value of Bloody Mary in Slaughter City went without saying. As long as each person contributed two cups every month, they could continue living in Slaughter City.

Yet not only had that youth failed to contribute any Bloody Mary, he had even demanded it from the Slaughter King. More unbelievably, the Slaughter King had agreed.

"Hm! What, didn't you understand what I said?"

The Slaughter King frowned slightly. Seeing his subordinate still kneeling on the ground without moving, his expression darkened and his tone became stern.

"I will handle it at once."

Hell's Envoy's slender body trembled slightly. She hurriedly bowed, not daring to delay in the slightest as she quickly accepted the order and departed.

"Hahaha, excellent."

Ye Han laughed heartily. The Slaughter King's Bloody Mary was more effective than the blood essence he refined himself.

In just one month, his gains had been astonishing.

Not only had his Spiritual Sea recovered by one-seventh, but his physical strength had also risen to another level.

Now, Ye Han felt that even a rank ninety-five Titled Douluo would not be his match without using soul skills.

Just as Ye Han was about to continue cultivating and restore his injuries in one push, someone knocked on his door.

Frowning, killing intent burst from Ye Han's eyes as he directly summoned his Short Spear.

"Ye Han, it's me."

Bo Saixi sensed the killing intent in the room. Looking at the dozens of corpses scattered haphazardly across the courtyard, she hurriedly spoke.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Han recognized Bo Saixi's voice. The killing intent around him receded slightly, but his voice remained cold.

"Can, can I come in?"

Bo Saixi's soft, weary voice entered Ye Han's ears.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Han finally said, "Come in."

Creak!~

The door, which had not been opened for a month, was pushed open.

Then, a slender and tall figure entered his sight.

As their eyes met, they spoke almost at the same time.

"How did you become like this?"

Ye Han was puzzled. What was wrong with him?

He was in excellent condition now. His spirits were high, and his body brimmed with strength. What problem could there be?

Bo Saixi, on the other hand, was covered in grime. Her beautiful sea-blue hair had gone unwashed for days, and her once-fair face was filled with exhaustion. She was practically a different person from when they had parted.

"I, I'm fine. It's just that I've been harassed too much this past month, so I'm a little tired," Bo Saixi said, shaking her head.

She made it sound light, but if that were truly all it was, why would she have come looking for Ye Han?

Over the past month, she had encountered battles, slaughter, poison, ambushes, traps, and every despicable method she had never even imagined before. If she had not been powerful enough, she would surely have been devoured without even her bones left behind.

A month of such experiences had left the lofty High Priestess mentally exhausted. She could not take it anymore and wanted someone to share her burden, so Ye Han was the first person she thought of. She had immediately come to find him.

But seeing Ye Han like this now made her somewhat afraid.

"I'm fine too!" Hearing Bo Saixi say that she was fine, Ye Han could not help touching his cheek and smiling back.

However, what had once been a gentle smile now looked so savage and terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine.

After hesitating, Bo Saixi took out a mirror from her storage space and handed it to Ye Han.

Ye Han accepted the mirror in confusion. But one careless glance made him fling it away, smashing it to pieces as he cried out.

"What the hell? You scared the life out of me."

Bo Saixi was speechless. Looking at the still-shaken youth, she inexplicably wanted to laugh.

If not for his voice and aura, Bo Saixi would never have believed that after just over a month apart, a graceful and handsome youth, someone like an immortal descended into the mortal world, could become a monster with interwoven red bloodlines across his face and red light radiating from his eyes.

"N-no way! Bo Saixi, don't tell me that person was me. That ugly freak just now was me?" Ye Han asked uncertainly as he looked at Bo Saixi's expression.

Bo Saixi said nothing, but the pity in her eyes explained everything.

That ugly freak was actually me.

Ye Han instantly stood there dumbfounded. But he had weathered great storms before. He had even experienced being reborn as a scorpion, so a mere change in appearance was not enough to shake his mind. He quickly adjusted his mentality.

"What exactly did you go through this past month?" Bo Saixi asked.

She looked at Ye Han, obvious concern appearing in her weary eyes.

"I was set up."

Ye Han answered calmly.

He had once wondered why the Slaughter King had been so kind, actually fulfilling his promise that whenever Ye Han needed Bloody Mary, no matter how much, he would have someone deliver it immediately.

Now, everything had become clear.

At the same time, Ye Han recalled the original novel's description of Bloody Mary. It was said to be a poison capable of affecting one's mind.

But Ye Han had scoffed at that, dismissing it completely. The impurities had all been refined away—could it still affect his mind? As for the change in his appearance, Ye Han cared even less.

He could sense that his blood and vitality were overly abundant and had not been properly regulated, which was why they had spread across his face. He had already thought of a solution.

"If you have nowhere else to go, stay here. Just don't disturb me."

After casually giving that instruction, Ye Han closed his eyes directly, not giving Bo Saixi a chance to continue speaking.

Bo Saixi opened her mouth, but seeing that Ye Han had already closed his eyes, she could only suppress the concern in her gaze and stand guard beside him, preventing anyone from coming to disturb him.

Ye Han circulated the Tai Xuan Sutra and visualized the true form of the sun. Within his Spiritual Sea, a blazing sun rose, releasing brilliant golden light that purified all evil energy.

Time passed slowly. The radiant golden light spread from within to without, covering Ye Han's entire body. The blood and vitality scattered throughout him began to move slowly, gradually strengthening every inch of his skin.

Ye Han opened all his senses. This was the second time he had examined himself so seriously from within.

The first time, he had transformed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and developed an Indestructible Body. Although this energy was not as abundant as the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it was like a gentle spring breeze and fine rain—soft, lingering, and nourishing all things silently—allowing him to better comprehend every change within himself.

Suddenly, Ye Han sensed a second kind of energy. It was extremely faint, yet mysterious and powerful. It was actually absorbing his blood and vitality bit by bit to strengthen itself.

"This is... the system's energy."

Ye Han's mind shook violently.

He had thought that after his awakening, that energy had completely vanished. Who would have expected a portion of it to remain dormant within his body? If he had not examined himself so carefully today, who knew how long it would have taken him to discover it?

The energy left behind by the system was undoubtedly of an extremely high level.

But it was, after all, the system's power.

After thinking it over, Ye Han focused his mind and tried to control that wisp of energy, so faint it was nearly imperceptible.

Very quickly, he succeeded.

Although mobilizing that energy was extremely strenuous, he had indeed succeeded.

The corners of Ye Han's lips lifted slightly. He understood now.

Although he had blown up the system, its remaining power had stayed within his body. It had not only altered his Martial Soul, but had also fused into his bloodline. As his cultivation continued to grow stronger, even if he had not discovered it today, it would inevitably awaken one day and merge with him, becoming an entirely new power of his own.

I have a cheat too!

The smile in his heart gradually widened.
