After killing that wolf demon, Xu Jie gained over a hundred years of usable lifespan.
However, his own lifespan had not increased. It was still just one year.
Xu Jie did not care much about that. In his previous life, he had lived every day licking blood from a blade's edge, never knowing whether there would be a tomorrow.
If the system had not consumed lifespan in units of years, he would have left himself only one day of lifespan and used all the rest to improve his martial arts.
The stance cultivation had reached perfection...
"System, improve the Demon Breaking Saber Technique!"
Demon Breaking Saber Technique (Peak): After twelve more years of bitter saber practice, you comprehended the essence of the Demon Breaking Saber Technique.
Demon Breaking Saber Technique (Perfect): As time flowed on, after your saber technique reached its peak, you continued swinging your saber without pause for another thirty years, finally cultivating the Demon Breaking Saber Technique to the perfect realm!
After consuming forty-two years of usable lifespan, Xu Jie's saber technique had reached the perfect realm.
Looking at the lottery function's progress of 96/100, Xu Jie did not hesitate to invest all his remaining usable lifespan into the perfected stance cultivation.
When the system had first appeared, it had already stated that usable lifespan could improve martial arts realms without limit.
Xu Jie currently had seventy-nine years of usable lifespan left. He refused to believe that throwing in nearly eighty years of lifespan would not produce even the slightest change in the basic stance cultivation.
In the tenth year, you still did not give up cultivating and studying the basic stance cultivation. Unfortunately, this most basic martial art seemed to have no need for further derivation...
In the thirty-second year, after your unceasing attempts, you faintly sensed the blood throughout your body boiling. It seemed that with only one final opportunity, the basic stance cultivation could undergo some kind of transformation!
In the fifty-ninth year, at last, the plain and unremarkable basic stance cultivation advanced into a brand-new domain under your insights and improvements! You comprehended Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art!
You knew that this should have been the limit of the basic stance cultivation, yet you continued spending time modifying and fine-tuning this martial art. After another twenty years, you successfully created a complete and efficient new cultivation method!
Comprehended new martial art: Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Beginner)!
Lottery progress: 175/100!
Xu Jie did not rush to draw the lottery immediately. Instead, he first circulated the Blood Burning Art and felt the effects brought by this new cultivation method.
His blood boiled!
In an instant, Xu Jie felt as though all the blood in his body had burned away, leaving him weak.
The food he had eaten earlier seemed to have been digested in the blink of an eye, and a faint hunger stirred within him.
He quickly stopped circulating the cultivation method and thoughtfully took out a Blood Nourishing Pill from his pocket before swallowing it.
Blood Burning!
As he circulated the cultivation method again, the Blood Nourishing Pill Xu Jie had taken was instantly refined by the art, becoming fuel for burning his blood.
One pill was not enough!
Xu Jie decisively swallowed the remaining three Blood Nourishing Pills whole, using the pills' medicinal power to drive the stance cultivation.
In an exceedingly short time, the medicinal power of all four Blood Nourishing Pills was fully absorbed and transformed into a driving force that helped Xu Jie condense his blood.
Martial Art: Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Beginner) → Advanced Stance Cultivation: Blood Burning Art (Minor Mastery)!
Martial Realm: Blood-Moving Realm Seventh Layer (First-Rank High-Stage) → Blood Moving Realm Layer 9 (First-Rank High-Stage)!
The improvement speed was actually this fierce?
Xu Jie found it somewhat unbelievable. The advanced, improved Blood Burning Art had utilized almost one hundred percent of the pills' medicinal power and raised his realm at an inconceivable speed.
By the look of it, as long as he had enough pills, he could rapidly increase his strength with the Blood Burning Art.
If he could not kill without restraint at the university and plunder lifespan, then the enhancement effect of the advanced stance cultivation would not be much weaker than the system's!
Very good!
The corners of Xu Jie's mouth rose uncontrollably. He was becoming more and more satisfied with his Life-Sacrifice System.
As for cultivation resources, he was not worried at all!
Once he was strong, would he still fear lacking resources?
If not, he could just go rob them!
Xu Jie had no psychological burden or moral pressure over robbing, because to him, it was only natural.
After testing the effects of the Blood Burning Art, Xu Jie silently opened the system and carried out this so-called lottery draw.
Lottery draw...
What good thing would it give him?
The lottery draw began...
Xu Jie's consciousness blurred, and he seemed to arrive in a chaotic starry sky.
A massive disk appeared above his head. Its pointer spun at high speed before finally stopping over an area.
Lottery draw successful! Obtained High Martial World Modified Yi Jin Duan Gu Scripture!
Progress until next lottery draw: (75/500)!
Yi Jin Scripture, Duan Gu Scripture?
If Xu Jie remembered correctly, these two cultivation methods came from a martial arts world, right?
Although Xu Jie had drifted through a lawless land in his previous life, Southeast Asia had internet access as well.
Therefore, Xu Jie had read some novels and was quite familiar with the two famous Buddhist martial arts, Yi Jin and Duan Gu, from martial arts fiction.
Simply put, if these two martial arts were placed in a martial arts world, they would be top-tier cultivation methods!
Xu Jie truly had not expected that the system's so-called lottery function could even draw cultivation methods from another world.
The High Martial World modified Yi Jin Duan Gu Scripture was clearly the sort of lofty, high-end martial art.
An ordinary person would surely beat their chest and stamp their feet in regret, thinking they should not have invested so much lifespan into the basic stance cultivation.
Yet Xu Jie did not regret it in the slightest!
He had always been the sort to use resources as soon as he got them, to enjoy himself in the present, never to wait for some promised future, and never to speculate in stocks—a thorough desperado's way of thinking.
What was used was used. What was the point of so much regret?
If he ran out of money and resources, he could simply go rob some more!
Besides...
Martial Art: Yi Jin Duan Gu Scripture (Unable to Begin)
Xu Jie discovered that the new cultivation method he had drawn could not be cultivated at all!
The reason was simple. He was only at the first-rank Blood Moving Realm. How could he possibly cultivate the clearly higher-level Yi Jin Duan Gu?
Just from its name, Yi Jin Duan Gu was obviously a martial art that could only be cultivated in the Pulse Opening Realm.
As far as Xu Jie knew, in this High Martial World, martial artists' realms from low to high were: first-rank Blood Moving, second-rank Pulse Opening, third-rank Bone Tempering, fourth-rank Body Tempering, fifth-rank Aperture Opening, sixth-rank Qi Condensation, seventh-rank Vajra, eighth-rank Dharma Form, ninth-rank Nirvana, and the even higher Eternal Immortality, which completely transcended the mortal world.
Each rank was further divided into twelve layers, classified into four stages: low, middle, high, and peak.
Xu Jie was currently only a first-rank high-stage Blood Moving martial artist. The road of cultivation ahead was long and arduous.
In fact, at his current realm, he had not even touched upon the true essence of the Blood Moving Realm.
Blood Moving, Blood Moving—the so-called Blood Moving meant moving one's blood!
Only when a martial artist cultivated to the peak stage of the Blood Moving Realm could they begin truly moving their blood.
That was because before the first-rank high stage, a martial artist's blood was not condensed enough to meet the standard for moving blood.
If there was nothing wrong with the memories of Xu Jie's former self...
Then the Xu siblings from Central Prefecture were both peak Blood Moving Realm martial artists.
Xu Shishi ranked twenty-seventh on the school leaderboard, while Xu Ming ranked ninth!
After coming to this High Martial World, the two people Xu Jie most wanted to kill were the Xu siblings.
Therefore, he would make sufficient preparations before challenging the school leaderboard.
If he did not act, then so be it. But once he chose to act, Xu Jie would not give his enemies any chance of surviving!
If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead—perhaps it was merely renamed!
