Bloodforging

Before Qin Wei's astonished gaze, Ling Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura erupted from within him.

Like a ferocious beast that had slumbered for ages, finally awakening completely at this very moment!

"This feeling..."

Ling Yun exhaled a blast of hot air, feeling terrifying heat radiating from the inside of his body outward.

The moment he opened his mouth, it felt as though flames might burst from his throat. His entire body was crimson red, making him look like a boiled shrimp.

Yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever. On the contrary, he felt better than he ever had before.

His blood surged through his veins like tidal waves, while his heart pounded in his chest like a war drum!

An endless stream of Blood Qi Power surged from every cell in his body, even forming a thin membrane of blood qi around him!

The injuries across his body healed completely in the blink of an eye. Ling Yun now felt as if he possessed inexhaustible strength from head to toe.

"Blood surging like the tide! This kid... actually broke through to the Bloodforging Realm!" Qin Wei stared wide-eyed from afar, a strange sourness rising in his heart.

After the Spirit Communion Realm came the Bloodforging Realm for martial artists. Those who could successfully break through were fewer than one in a hundred.

So-called Bloodforging meant embracing all rivers into the sea—one's Blood Qi Power surged like waves, endlessly renewing itself, inexhaustible and unending.

So long as one was not struck in a vital spot or had their Blood Qi Power depleted, they were practically invincible!

Of course, that might have been somewhat exaggerated, but compared to Seven-Star Demon Suppression Envoys of the same rank, their endurance was simply not on the same level.

What was even more outrageous was that this kid looked barely over twenty. Was this fucking even human?

Back when Qin Wei had broken through to this level, he had been nearly thirty. Even then, the Demon Suppression Division had hailed him as a once-in-a-generation genius, and he had received the flattery of countless people...

At that thought, Qin Wei's expression turned as miserable as if he were constipated.

What he did not know was that, since Ling Yun had arrived in this world, less than half a month had passed in total...

"So this is the Bloodforging Realm? It really is incomparably powerful!"

Ling Yun clenched his fists and silently sensed the changes brought by his breakthrough.

There was not much change in his appearance. This realm chiefly concerned a martial artist's Blood Qi Power.

At this moment, he could clearly feel his blood flowing through his body, roaring through his veins like a river. Faintly, he could even hear the crashing sound of waves!

The Blood Qi Power throughout his body had increased by several times at the very least compared to before his breakthrough!

With so much Blood Qi Power crammed inside his body, he felt as though it might erupt at any time. He only wanted to find somewhere to vent properly.

As it happened, there was an excellent target for venting right in front of him!

Seeing the fighting intent blazing in Ling Yun's eyes, Qin Wei's hands itched as well. But after glancing around, he could only wave his hand helplessly.

"Kid, look around you. If we keep fighting, it won't do either of us any good."

Ling Yun frowned slightly at his words. Sweeping his gaze around, he saw the street that their battle had destroyed by more than half, and his heart gradually calmed.

He slowly closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the restless blood qi in his body into his dantian.

Soon, as an "ocean's worth" of blood qi was compressed, it unexpectedly formed a scarlet pearl the size of a fingernail!

"What is this?"

Ling Yun stared blankly at the pearl floating within his dantian, clearly not expecting such a change.

He could sense the terrifying blood qi contained within the pearl. Moreover, as long as he wished it, he could unleash the blood qi inside it at any time!

Most importantly, even now, his body was still continuously producing more blood qi!

It was like a bucket filled with water. Once the water was compressed, it could hold even more water.

Once Ling Yun understood, his heart stirred, and he began controlling this newly produced blood qi to flow into his dantian again.

Unfortunately, the blood qi this Blood Qi Pearl could fuse seemed to have already reached its limit. No matter how he controlled it, he could not compress any more blood qi inside.

Ling Yun was not disappointed.

Since the first one had reached its limit, could he condense a second one—or even more?

No sooner thought than done. As a great amount of blood qi gathered, another blood-red dot the size of a grain of rice gradually appeared beside the first Blood Qi Pearl!

At this rate, it would probably take only about a day to fuse a second Blood Qi Pearl!

"So that's how it is!" Ling Yun's face lit up with delight. At last, he understood the formidable aspect of Bloodforging Realm martial artists.

Just imagine it: when both sides fought desperately until the end, with their strength nearly exhausted, all he needed to do was absorb a Blood Qi Pearl, and he could return to full strength once more!

One could imagine how despairing his enemies would be then.

The only slight trouble was that Blood Qi Pearls could not condense automatically. The moment he relaxed his concentration even a little, the blood qi would lose its guidance and settle throughout his body.

After trying several times, he could only give up helplessly. He would have to wait until he had time to continue refining them.

"Hah!"

Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes. The violent aura around him had now returned to its initial calm.

At that moment, Qin Wei slowly walked over and finally stopped several meters away.

He looked Ling Yun up and down. Though he had already been rejected several times, he still could not help saying again, "Kid, are you really not going to consider joining our Demon Suppression Division?"

"As long as you're willing to join, you can choose the position of vice-captain in any Demon Suppression Division squad!"

"Vice-captain?"

Hearing his offer, Ling Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

By now, he had a rough understanding of the Demon Suppression Division's structure.

The Demon Suppression Division in a city generally consisted of four or five squads, all commanded by a single supervising envoy.

Each squad was further divided into several groups, with three to six members in each group. The exact number depended on the size of the city.

Thus, the position of vice-captain in a squad was actually quite good.

But the same remained true: though the other party was indeed being highly sincere, the Demon Suppression Division's internal system was strict. Once he joined, many things would become extremely passive.

Take Evil Spirits, for example. Once he joined the Demon Suppression Division, he certainly could no longer seize them as recklessly as he did now.

Besides, with a system on his side, there was truly no need for him to submit to other people's orders.

Ling Yun remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and refused the invitation.

Though he had already guessed the outcome, Qin Wei could not help sighing. Still, he did not persist. His eyes shifted, and he said in an inscrutable tone, "Since you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'm sure you have your own plans."

"However, there's a good job at hand right now. Do you want to consider it? The reward is quite nice!"
