Entering the Blood Transformation Pool!

The Blood Transformation Pool was very strange.

A rich smell of blood.

It was also constantly bubbling, making anyone's heart pound just looking at it.

The six people exchanged glances.

No one had any intention of going down.

"Jiang Hao, I am Geng Qiuyi from the Flying Heaven Sect. I am at the Transforming Force cultivation level. I am older than you, yet I am in the same elite group for the Seven Sects Grand Competition. I feel a bit ashamed."

At this moment, Geng Qiuyi of the Flying Heaven Sect stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Although she was a woman, she was poised and dignified, with a straightforward personality.

Only six people remained here.

In fact, they could all get to know each other.

After all, they were all elites from the Seven Sects.

Being elites from the same Grand Competition meant there was some connection, and interacting more was not a bad thing.

"I am Wang Chen from the Flowing Sand Sect..."

"I am Zhang Xiao from the Heavenly Saber Sect."

With Geng Qiuyi taking the lead, the other two Transforming Force martial artists also stepped forward to talk to Jiang Hao.

After all, Jiang Hao was the future Seed of the Dao, and his current cultivation was also at the Transforming Force level, the same as theirs. His future was limitless.

Naturally, they wanted to get to know someone like him.

Yan Beiwu was also poised and dignified, and the conversation between them went well.

Only Li Qingshan had a gloomy expression, ignoring everyone and staying by himself.

"Jiang Hao, we have all already activated our Divine Blood, but this Blood Transformation Pool is still very beneficial to us. I assume your Divine Blood is still incomplete, right? We must find ways to further improve our Divine Blood, or even obtain complete Divine Blood."

"Only with complete Divine Blood is there a greater chance of Entering the Dao."

"The Blood Transformation Pool contains special power that greatly aids our Divine Blood. However, the Blood Transformation Pool is extremely painful, surpassing the limit of human endurance. But if possible, endure it for as long as you can. The longer you endure, the greater the benefits!"

"Once you can't bear it and leave the Blood Transformation Pool, Emperor Qian will directly take us away, and we won't get a second chance."

Yan Beiwu suddenly said to Jiang Hao.

This was actually considered a "secret."

Not everyone knew about it.

But Yan Beiwu clearly knew.

Li Qingshan probably knew as well.

But the others did not.

Li Qingshan naturally wouldn't say anything, and Yan Beiwu saying it proactively was a gesture of goodwill.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yan."

Jiang Hao cupped his hands in greeting.

The Seven Sects were relatively harmonious, and Jiang Hao could indeed call Yan Beiwu Senior Sister.

He naturally felt Yan Beiwu's goodwill.

Afterward, Jiang Hao looked towards the Blood Transformation Pool.

The longer the endurance, the greater the benefit.

As for the pain.

Jiang Hao hadn't considered it at all.

How painful could it be?

In fact, Wang Chen, Geng Qiuyi, and Zhang Xiao had the same thought.

While they were geniuses with high talent, their martial arts journey had not been smooth sailing.

Anyone who could reach this point must have a firm will and have endured countless hardships.

What was a little pain to them?

Seeing that everyone seemed unconcerned, Yan Beiwu didn't explain further.

It was useless for her to say more.

As soon as they entered the Blood Transformation Pool later, everyone would naturally understand how terrifying that pain was.

"Without further ado, let's go down."

Yan Beiwu immediately took off her outer clothes, wearing only a gauze dress, and stepped into the Blood Transformation Pool step by step.

The others also took off their outer clothes.

Jiang Hao didn't hesitate. After taking off his outer clothes, he carefully entered the Blood Transformation Pool.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Hao was a little surprised.

The Blood Transformation Pool was warm.

It seemed there was no pain, and it was quite comfortable.

But it wasn't long before he clearly felt threads of warm energy entering his body.

They permeated from all parts of his body.

It was like countless ants nibbling at him.

There was an intense itchiness mixed with the pain.

And crucially, this pain was continuously escalating.

After just one hour, some were already finding it unbearable.

Their whole bodies were trembling.

But the six individuals indeed had strong wills, managing to endure it forcefully.

However, after two hours, Wang Chen could no longer bear it.

"Splash."

Wang Chen left the Blood Transformation Pool and jumped onto the shore.

He truly couldn't stand the pain anymore.

Unfortunately, two hours was too short; he hadn't managed to awaken his bloodline.

At this moment, someone walked in.

"Young Hero Wang, please come with me."

This was an eunuch sent by the Emperor of Qian.

Once someone couldn't endure it and left the Blood Transformation Pool, they would be escorted out, and there would be no second chances.

"I'm the first one to give up, how embarrassing."

Wang Chen felt a bit ashamed.

He was a Transforming Force martial artist.

Yet, his willpower was inferior to Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu, both Hidden Force martial artists?

Even Jiang Hao, who was only thirteen and still a child, had stronger willpower than him.

"You guys continue. I'll wait for you outside."

After speaking, Wang Chen quickly left the underground palace, following the eunuch.

The other five people knew that Wang Chen had left the Blood Transformation Pool because he couldn't endure it.

For a moment, all five felt a stir of restlessness.

Jiang Hao's willpower was strong.

But he also felt immense pain.

If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"If I focus my mind and visualize the Great Sun, will the physical pain be unable to affect me?"

A flash of inspiration struck Jiang Hao.

If he couldn't withstand the physical pain, he wouldn't resist it directly but would shift his "attention" to visualizing the Great Sun.

Visualizing the Great Sun was also painful, even to the point of being burned to ashes.

However, his consciousness would immediately recover.

Moreover, he was already familiar with the pain of the Great Sun's burning, so he could continue visualizing it indefinitely.

This was just Jiang Hao's speculation.

Whether it would work, Jiang Hao had to try it himself.

Thus, Jiang Hao immediately began visualizing the Great Sun in his mind.

As Jiang Hao visualized the Great Sun, the pain intensified.

The pain to his consciousness was actually more terrifying than the physical pain.

Especially when visualizing the Great Sun?

Even though Jiang Hao's consciousness had grown significantly and was already very powerful, he still couldn't sustain the visualization of the Great Sun for long. After a moment, his consciousness was burned to ashes by the Great Sun.

However, after his consciousness was annihilated, Jiang Hao wouldn't die. Instead, he would recover and then continue visualizing the Great Sun.

This was the miraculous aspect of Jiang Hao's visualization of the Great Sun.

Although painful, the time was short, and he could recover continuously without getting injured.

Thus, Jiang Hao's consciousness was annihilated and restored again and again. He had even forgotten that he was currently immersed in the Blood Transformation Pool, enduring extreme physical pain.

Three hours, four hours, five hours...

Finally, after five hours, Geng Qiuyi couldn't take it anymore and also got out of the Blood Transformation Pool.

"This is too painful."

"After enduring for five hours, I still couldn't awaken my bloodline..."

Geng Qiuyi's expression was a little complicated.

He glanced at the Blood Transformation Pool; there were still four people inside.

He had only persisted for three more hours than Wang Chen, which made Geng Qiuyi somewhat disappointed.

Deep down, he was also very proud.

He believed his willpower was very strong.

No pain could break his will.

But after enduring the Blood Transformation Pool for five hours, his will truly couldn't hold on.

"Young Hero Geng, please."

Another eunuch led Geng Qiuyi away from the Blood Transformation Pool.

Seeing Geng Qiuyi emerge, Wang Chen's face lit up slightly.

After all, he had been alone all this time, which made him seem so useless.

Thankfully, he now had company.

"Geng Qiuyi, I didn't expect you to come out too. I thought you could last a bit longer."

"The two of us, Transforming Force martial artists, were actually outdone by Hidden Force martial artists... it's truly..."

Wang Chen sighed.

Currently, there was still Zhang Xiao in the Blood Transformation Pool, a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Sect. Saber users generally had strong willpower.

He even hoped Zhang Xiao would stay longer.

Otherwise, if all three of them, Transforming Force martial artists, failed, it would be a complete joke.

Time continued to flow.

Six hours, seven hours, eight hours, nine hours...

This time, a full twelve hours passed.

"Swish."

Zhang Xiao, Li Qingshan, and Yan Beiwu all opened their eyes simultaneously.

They couldn't hold on any longer.

Twelve hours, equivalent to a full day.

Being able to endure for a day was quite impressive.

"Huh?"

"Zhang Xiao, you awakened your bloodline?"

Yan Beiwu seemed to sense the change in Zhang Xiao.

"Just lucky."

Zhang Xiao was very reserved and not talkative.

But it was evident that he was actually quite happy.

Awakening his bloodline was a significant boost to his strength.

"Hmph, it's just an ordinary bloodline."

Li Qingshan thought to himself.

His mood was terrible, and naturally, he couldn't stand seeing others do well.

However, he wasn't foolish enough to say such a thing and offend someone for no reason; he could only think it in his heart.

Yan Beiwu and Li Qingshan had stayed in the Blood Transformation Pool for twelve hours, naturally gaining some benefits.

Their Divine Blood had increased, more or less.

But that was all.

The increase wasn't significant.

After all, it was Divine Blood; even a small increase was difficult, let alone a substantial one.

"Huh? Jiang Hao still hasn't come out?"

Yan Beiwu looked at Jiang Hao with some surprise.

Jiang Hao sat quietly on the ground in the Blood Transformation Pool.

His expression was calm, and his breathing was very stable.

It was as if this wasn't the Blood Transformation Pool, but a hot bath.

He showed no signs of pain at all.

Li Qingshan gritted his teeth.

He couldn't believe Jiang Hao's willpower was this strong.

The pain of the Blood Transformation Pool couldn't shake Jiang Hao's will even a little.

It was impossible!

But that was the reality.

Jiang Hao showed no intention of leaving the Blood Transformation Pool.

"Young heroes, please step outside."

Another eunuch arrived and led the three away from the Blood Transformation Pool.

After the three left, Wang Chen and Geng Qiuyi's eyes lit up.

They were finally out.

They had been waiting anxiously.

After all, the longer others stayed in the Blood Transformation Pool, the more embarrassed they felt.

Fortunately, they were finally out.

"Li Qingshan, Yan Beiwu, and Zhang Xiao are all out."

"Zhang Xiao, the aura on you... a bloodline? You awakened a bloodline?"

Zhang Xiao had just awakened his bloodline, and it was still unstable, so he couldn't conceal his aura. Naturally, Wang Chen and Geng Qiuyi sensed it.

"Just a stroke of luck."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's admission, the two felt even more bitter.

They were all elites of Transforming Force, ranking in the top three.

Even during the grand competition, Geng Qiuyi had taken first place, stronger than Zhang Xiao.

Yet, Zhang Xiao had awakened a bloodline, while he had gained nothing.

For a moment, the atmosphere became silent.

"Right, where's Jiang Hao? Why haven't I seen him?"

Wang Chen suddenly asked.
