Draw! Nine Extremes Demonic Blade

Xu Jie could not be bothered to waste time going to the infirmary!

In his previous life, when he was in Southeast Asia, where had he found the medical conditions needed for proper treatment?

If he was injured, he either waited to die or took a gamble with his life and treated the wound himself.

He had long since grown used to it!

As he spoke, Xu Jie flipped the dagger in his hand. With a rip, he cut off a chunk of flesh, and blood immediately sprayed across the floor, making the male instructor's mouth twitch.

Madman!

The male instructor turned and left. Just as he reached the door, he saw Chu Mingyue walk in, dressed head to toe in fur and bundled up like a rice dumpling, her style utterly different from before.

"Uh, Miss Chu, the principal asked you to..."

"I know!"

Chu Mingyue passed the male instructor and entered the lounge. When she saw what Xu Jie was doing—

Her willow brows furrowed. She strode over, snatched the dagger from Xu Jie's hand, and scolded him in displeasure.

"What are you doing? Come with me to the infirmary!"

"..."

Xu Jie helplessly raised his head and met the gaze of Chu Mingyue, whose temperament had become far more dignified. His lips moved as though he wanted to say something.

"I'm your instructor. You have to listen to me!"

"..."

Chu Mingyue looked down at Xu Jie, then suddenly bent close. A sweet, cloying fragrance drifted over as she whispered into his ear.

"Xu Jie, I want to..."

Hearing that, Xu Jie's body jolted, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

In the end, he nodded, picked up the bag, and followed Chu Mingyue out of the lounge.

Inside the school infirmary.

Xu Jie sat on the hospital bed, thinking over what Chu Mingyue had just said.

"Xu Jie, I want to know how you cultivated the Demon Subduing Flame Blade. I've cultivated this technique too. Can we discuss it?"

Discuss...

Should he take this chance to simply teach Chu Mingyue the true essence of the Demon Subduing Flame Blade and repay the favor he owed her?

After obtaining the system—especially since it could even draw prizes—he did not really care much about Martial Arts and Techniques anymore.

If he could repay the favor Chu Mingyue had done him before, perhaps he could completely sever ties with this woman and enjoy the freedom of being unburdened.

Sigh, that seemed difficult.

This woman seemed to be growing more and more interested in him. That was not a good sign.

Besides... Chu Mingyue had helped Xu Jie more than once. Could he really repay all that by merely giving her the essence of one technique?

Feeling somewhat irritated, Xu Jie subconsciously reached for the plant roots and stems he had collected.

His expression then stiffened as he discovered that his upper clothes had long since vanished.

"System, draw!"

Drawing...

Draw successful! Obtained saber technique—Nine Extremes Demonic Blade!

Progress until next draw (137/3000)!

A martial technique?

Xu Jie could cultivate this saber technique directly. Unlike Yi Jin Duan Gu, it did not require him to break through to the Pulse Opening Realm first.

"System, upgrade the Nine Extremes Demonic Blade!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Jie chose to use his available lifespan to raise the realm of the newly acquired saber technique.

He had plenty of lifespan now. There was no need to be stingy!

Resources existed to be used up. Would hoarding them make them multiply?

Nine Extremes Demonic Blade (Beginner): With the saber foundations of the Demon-Breaking Saber Art and Demon Subduing Flame Blade, cultivating this new saber technique presented almost no obstacles for you. You could grasp it as soon as you touched it, understand it at the slightest prompt, and quickly comprehended the essence of this saber technique, mastering a method of attacking an enemy's spirit.

Nine Extremes Demonic Blade (Minor Accomplishment): Building on this foundation, you spent five years cultivating this martial technique to Minor Accomplishment. You mastered the Demonic Blade's first form, also known as the Demonic Blade's First Extreme, achieving a 1.5-fold amplification!

However, the gap between each Extreme of the Demonic Blade was enormous. After cultivating for another thirty years, you only barely mastered the killing move of the Second Extreme.

Another thirty years flashed by. After years of bitter training, you found that the Demonic Blade technique had made no progress. Only then did you finally realize that relying on hard cultivation and comprehension alone seemed unlikely to break through the saber technique's bottleneck.

Thus, you changed your cultivation method, training the Demonic Blade through simulated life-and-death battles. You gradually grasped the Demonic Blade's true essence, and ten years later, you finally mastered the Demonic Blade's Third Extreme.

At this point, with your current cultivation, you had already reached the limit of the Demonic Blade. Demonic Blade techniques beyond the Fourth Extreme were not something you, at the Blood Moving Realm, could master.

Progress until next draw (202/3000)!

As Xu Jie continually cultivated the Demonic Blade technique, his temperament subtly began to change, and a demonic aura surged from his body.

If Xu Jie before had merely been arrogant and vicious—

Then after cultivating the Demonic Blade, his entire body radiated a chilling demonic nature.

A single calm glance was enough to intimidate the fainthearted.

Naturally, Xu Jie himself had not noticed this yet. Nor did he know just how powerful the Demonic Blade was, to be able to directly alter a person's temperament.

What he knew for now was that the Demonic Blade technique did not seem to be an ordinary martial technique. Its attacks leaned toward the spiritual kind.

What? He actually could not spend all his lifespan?

After consuming sixty-five years of lifespan to raise the Demonic Blade to the Third Extreme, the system automatically stopped using lifespan to upgrade the martial technique.

Xu Jie froze for a moment, having never expected such a thing to happen.

Looking at the available lifespan field, which still had a little over five hundred years remaining, his entire body felt uncomfortable, as though his obsessive-compulsive disorder was about to flare up.

Since the Demonic Blade had no room for improvement for now, then he would raise his martial cultivation realm!

"System, continue cultivating the Blood Burning Art!"

Xu Jie had now moved blood nine times. It was time to break through.

He had never intended to suppress his cultivation. What he pursued was unceasing strength. So long as he had enough lifespan, he would continue growing stronger.

Advanced Stance Art—Blood Burning Art (Perfect): Although you had already completed nine Blood Movings, you still cultivated diligently every day without pause, attempting to break through your current realm. Ten years swiftly passed in this way.

You gradually discovered that because your blood had become too condensed, breaking through to the Pulse Opening Realm seemed exceptionally difficult. You persevered for thirty years. Every time you tried to open your meridians, you encountered a solid bottleneck that blocked your path to breakthrough.

Another fifty years passed. You paid no heed to the difficulty of breaking through and merely cultivated day after day. Finally, one morning, your effort and persistence were rewarded. The meridians throughout your body trembled, and you were only one step away from a true breakthrough.

Just as Xu Jie was preparing to strike while the iron was hot and break through to the Pulse Opening Realm, Chu Mingyue's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Give it to me. Get out!"

"Miss Chu, you... you know how to treat trainees?"

"I do! Get out!"

"Yes..."

Hearing the voices, Xu Jie helplessly opened his eyes and temporarily halted his cultivation.

He turned his head toward Chu Mingyue as she walked toward him with graceful, swaying steps.

At this moment, Chu Mingyue carried a tray in her hands, filled with all kinds of healing medicine and bandages for dressing wounds.

Before Xu Jie could do anything, Chu Mingyue actually pulled the curtain shut, blocking outside prying eyes and leaving the two of them in a cramped, enclosed space.

Xu Jie raised a brow, then his expression changed, revealing an utterly shocked look.
