Martial Soul Serum

"Martial Soul blood?"

Gu Ye looked at the small vial of serum in his hand, then at Zhu Zhuqing. "Release your Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul. You'll know in a moment."

"Is that all?"

Curious, Zhu Zhuqing did not think too much about it and summoned her Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

"Next, I'll extract a drop of blood from your Martial Soul as payment for treating you this time. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Alright."

It was Zhu Zhuqing's first time hearing of something called Martial Soul blood. She did not know whether it would harm her, but Gu Ye had just treated her, so this counted as payment.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing agree, Gu Ye immediately got to work.

Just as before, a faint white glow coated the Martial Soul Surgical Blade. Then it slashed toward Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

What was horrifying was that Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul was not corporeal, yet Gu Ye actually cut a small wound into it. A drop of black blood then flowed from the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul. Gu Ye swiftly caught the drop in the serum vial, sealed it, and restored Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul.

"Done."

As Gu Ye watched the black drop of blood enter the serum vial and rapidly dissolve and merge with the serum inside, he thought of the serum's abilities that he had exchanged from the Surgical System and smiled happily.

"It really has blood!"

Looking at the blood Gu Ye had just drawn from her Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul, Zhu Zhuqing felt as though her understanding of the world had been overturned.

"Of course it does. Put simply, Martial Souls in this world are a kind of special hereditary energy. The blood I'm talking about is merely special energy from the Martial Soul, so don't be too surprised."

"Oh, right, Zhu Zhuqing. I took your most precious drop of blood. You may not feel anything now, but you might become a little weak in a couple of days. How about this? I'll give you something to replenish your blood, and—"

Gu Ye knew the drawbacks of drawing blood from a Martial Soul, since what he had taken was its most fundamental energy. He found Zhu Zhuqing pleasing to the eye and quite liked her figure and looks, so just as he was preparing to help her out, the Surgical System suddenly issued a task.

Ding!

Task: Extract Martial Soul Blood from the Shrek Seven Devils

Reward: Four bottles of Martial Soul Serum, one bottle of Martial Soul Enhancement Serum, one bottle of Martial Soul Evolution Serum, Surgery Points +5000

Seeing the task, Gu Ye looked at the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul Serum in his hand, then at the task within the system, then at Zhu Zhuqing, deep in thought.

This serum was extremely precious, because it was a special item from the Surgical System. Exchanging for just one bottle of Martial Soul Serum had cost Gu Ye 3,000 Surgery Points.

The effects of Martial Soul Serum could also be called miraculous. Once blood from a Soul Master's Martial Soul was fused into it, injecting the serum into an ordinary person or another Soul Master could grant that person the Soul Master's Martial Soul.

Martial Soul Enhancement Serum was even more expensive, costing 5,000 Surgery Points per bottle. Its effects were unbelievably powerful as well.

It could enhance a Soul Master's Martial Soul in a particular aspect—for example, increasing speed for a speed-type Martial Soul or strength for a strength-type Martial Soul.

Martial Soul Evolution Serum was even more expensive. Exchanging for one bottle would cost Gu Ye 10,000 Surgery Points.

Its effect was likewise unbelievably powerful.

It could evolve a Martial Soul in every aspect.

Its effects were even stronger than the Immortal Herbs consumed by the Shrek Seven Devils in the original work.

It could be said that a single bottle of Martial Soul Evolution Serum could give a Soul Master a one-hundred-percent chance of possessing the potential to become a god.

Unfortunately, Gu Ye could only sigh at the prospect for now. He did not even have 3,000 Surgery Points, let alone the tens of thousands needed to buy it—unless he performed a castration surgery on Tang San.

The serum in Gu Ye's hand was Martial Soul Serum, and it had already fused with Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul blood. As long as it was injected into an ordinary person or a Soul Master, they would be able to obtain the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

However, Gu Ye had another idea. What would happen if he injected this Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul Serum back into Zhu Zhuqing herself?

The system had not explained this, and Gu Ye still did not know.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Zhuqing noticed that Gu Ye had been staring at her for quite a while and asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing." Gu Ye came back to his senses. "I took your most precious drop of blood just now. I'll give you something to help you recover. Wait a moment."

Gu Ye went into another room. After tinkering around inside for a while, he came out holding several items.

Zhu Zhuqing took a look and found that Gu Ye was holding a strange tube-like object. Its tip was sharp and glinted with cold light, while its middle was hollow and appeared to contain some kind of special liquid. There was also a medicine bottle and another strange bottle.

Gu Ye placed the three items in front of Zhu Zhuqing. "This bottle contains medicine to replenish your blood. It can help your Martial Soul recover somewhat and also raise your strength a little. If you feel weak in two or three days, take it. You don't need to know what it is. Use it if you trust me; if you don't, then don't. As for this—"

Gu Ye glanced at the Syringe, which was exactly like an injection syringe from his previous life. "This is for attacking. It contains potent Paralysis Liquid. As long as it's injected into someone's body, even some powerful experts won't be immune to it. Consider it a gift for self-defense. The instructions for using it are inside."

"And the last one is called Anti-Wolf Spray. It contains a special gas and is also meant for attacking. It is twice as effective against men, though it won't cause harm. It's only for self-defense. If you ever see a man you don't like, spray him with this. The effect is very good."

After Gu Ye handed the three items to Zhu Zhuqing, he indicated that she could leave.

But Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye in confusion. She did not understand why he was giving her these things.

She could understand the medicine, but the Syringe and the Anti-Wolf Spray he had mentioned were clearly immensely powerful weapons. They had to be extraordinarily valuable. She and Gu Ye were neither related nor acquainted, yet he—

"Don't overthink it. I'm only giving these to you for the sake of that drop of blood. Alright, take your things and leave. I need to rest." Gu Ye practically chased Zhu Zhuqing away.

Zhu Zhuqing put away the three items, glanced at Gu Ye, and turned to leave.

When she reached the door, she seemed to think of something. She stopped, turned back, and asked, "I still don't know your name."

"Gu Ye." Gu Ye answered casually and continued fiddling with the items on his table.

"Gu Ye." Zhu Zhuqing murmured the name. Looking at him with a hint of gratitude, she said, "Thank you."

"No need. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you—if you want to become stronger, you can come find me anytime."

Zhu Zhuqing, who had just stepped out the door, paused at Gu Ye's words before leaving the Medical Hall.

As Zhu Zhuqing left, Gu Ye watched her retreating figure. "I hope she uses those two things on the people who deserve them."

There was naturally a reason Gu Ye had given Zhu Zhuqing the needle and the Anti-Wolf Spray.

His current mission was to collect the Martial Soul Blood of the Shrek Seven Devils. There was no way he would go to Shrek Academy himself—after all, Gu Ye had no favorable impression of Shrek Academy.

Besides, his mental age had long since passed the stage of going to school.

Now that he did not want to go to Shrek Academy, the only way to complete the mission was to make the Shrek Seven Devils come to him.

If Zhu Zhuqing used those two items properly, someone should come looking for him tomorrow or the day after.
