Frenzied Slaughter, Blood Qi Layer Ten!

"It's just a bit of a shame about the past few weeks. If I had mastered the [Slaughter] talent earlier, my physical condition would definitely have improved by a notch, and my combat power would be much stronger!"

Lu Sheng shook his head with some regret.

Martial artists in the Blood Qi Realm and Blood Refining Realm primarily focus on strengthening their Blood Essence. Although strengthening Blood Essence does lead to a certain degree of physical improvement through the feedback loop, having a stronger physique provides a distinct advantage when facing opponents of the same realm, or even those in higher realms.

"However, even though it's a bit late, there are still twenty days until the next ranking assessment. If I can seize this time to improve, the first place in this martial arts class..."

Lu Sheng's eyes gradually brightened.

With that thought, Lu Sheng calmed down, glanced at the night sky outside the window, and honestly lay down on his bed to sleep.

The next day, on the wilderness.

Lu Sheng, wearing silver knuckle dusters, looked at the wolf pack before him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Perfect, let's test the effect of [Slaughter]!"

Lu Sheng muttered.

The wolf pack before him was the Silver Moon Wolf Pack.

The Purple Moon Wolf Lu Sheng encountered earlier was an evolved form of the Silver Moon Wolf.

When a wolf king is born within a pack of Silver Moon Wolves, and the wolf king devours moon essence daily, it can gradually evolve into a Purple Moon Wolf.

The weakest Purple Moon Wolf possesses a cultivation base of Blood Qi Layer Eight.

As for the Silver Moon Wolves, the strongest among them do not exceed Blood Qi Layer Six!

However, because they haven't evolved yet, Silver Moon Wolves are pack-hunting ferocious beasts. Generally, even Martial Artists at Blood Qi Layer Seven or Blood Qi Layer Eight try to avoid engaging with a Silver Moon Wolf Pack if possible.

Looking at the Silver Moon Wolf Pack before him, Lu Sheng's eyes were filled with fervor, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, which were clad in knuckle dusters.

The next moment...

A black figure instantly charged into the wolf pack.

In just a flash, the Silver Moon Wolf Pack erupted with roars and screams.

Within the pack, Lu Sheng continuously threw punches.

With every punch, a Silver Moon Wolf fell to Lu Sheng's hand.

Lu Sheng was now a Martial Artist at Blood Qi Layer Nine. Coupled with his perfected Arhat Fist, his combat power was sufficient to contend even with Martial Artists at Blood Qi Layer Ten, or even those who had broken the Blood Qi limit and reached Blood Qi 11.

The Silver Moon Wolf Pack that Blood Qi Layer Seven and even Blood Qi Layer Eight Martial Artists dared not face...

Was nothing more than this in front of Lu Sheng!

Lu Sheng's eyes gradually brightened. He could clearly feel a faint, warm current stimulating his body whenever he killed a Silver Moon Wolf.

Although the sensation was extremely faint, it was undeniably present.

"This... is the effect of [Slaughter]?"

Lu Sheng's eyes grew even brighter.

"Just by killing a few Silver Moon Wolves, I can feel a slight increase in my strength. While it's not much, if I continue at this pace and manage to kill the entire Silver Moon Wolf Pack, my physical condition will improve by at least one-thousandth of its current state!"

Lu Sheng murmured.

Immediately, the speed of his punches became even faster.

Dense fist shadows appeared, and brilliant golden light flashed within the wolf pack.

Hum hum hum!!!

The sound of Buddhist chants instantly echoed.

Bathed in the golden light, Lu Sheng at this moment seemed to have transformed into an enraged Arhat.

"Kill!!"

Lu Sheng let out a low roar.

Blood instantly splattered.

In a moment, the entire battlefield was permeated with a thick smell of blood!

After about two to three minutes, the corpses of Silver Moon Wolves lay scattered across the ground, their blood continuously flowing.

Lu Sheng stood on the ground, slightly panting, but a smile curved his lips.

"The improvement I gained from killing thirty-eight Silver Moon Wolves has increased my base physical condition by about one-thousandth!"

Lu Sheng's eyes were bright.

Although [Slaughter] only improved physical condition by one hundred-thousandth, don't forget that the physical strength of ferocious beasts is several times that of humans!

This means that by killing ten thousand ferocious beasts of the same realm, Lu Sheng's physical condition would be comparable to that of those ferocious beasts.

Combined with his powerful martial arts, it would be difficult for Lu Sheng not to fight across realms!

One had to admit, the effect of [Slaughter] was truly terrifying!

The only trouble is that it takes too long to reach the physical strength of fierce beasts at the same realm!

"But for me now, I have plenty of time!"

Lu Sheng looked at the wilderness around him, a smile growing wider on his lips.

For Lu Sheng now, the training in the martial arts class was basically useless. Going to school was just to fulfill Chen Zhen's requirements.

The most important thing was to hunt fierce beasts in the suburbs!

Lu Sheng licked his lips, the excitement in his eyes not fading at all.

"There's still a long time. Now... the hunt begins!"

Time flew by.

The sunlight from the sky gradually dimmed, beginning to set on the other side of the mountain.

An orange-red halo painted the entire sky.

Lu Sheng stood in the wilderness, with the corpses of many fierce beasts lying beside him.

The blood was so thick it was extreme.

Anyone who hadn't seen blood before would vomit from the stench in the air, even with just one breath.

"My physical fitness has now improved by one-tenth of its original foundation!"

Lu Sheng breathed in deeply, a rare hint of fatigue showing on his face.

Lu Sheng had spent basically the entire day hunting.

When his Blood Essence was depleted, he took pills.

Fortunately, he had accumulated considerable wealth during this period and bought many Blood Qi Pills. Otherwise, with Lu Sheng's killing method, he might have been completely exhausted in less than an hour.

But the effect was excellent. Lu Sheng's current physical fitness had improved by one-tenth compared to yesterday!

"The cultivation of the fierce beasts in this area is too low, and the improvement is too slow. It seems I need to find a new area to hunt tomorrow!"

"The higher the level of the fierce beast, the greater the improvement under the enhancement of the [Slaughter] talent!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly.

Admittedly, [Slaughter] could only gain one-hundred-thousandth of the physical fitness of the target killed, but if Lu Sheng could kill an Alien Demon King, even one-tenth of that would be enough to elevate Lu Sheng's physical fitness to the Viscera Refining Realm, or even higher.

Of course, this was just a metaphor.

Lu Sheng shook his head and began to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses of these fierce beasts were treasures that could be exchanged for money.

Without these fierce beast corpses, with Lu Sheng's reckless killing, the consumption of Blood Qi Pills would also be very severe.

Lu Sheng roughly calculated that the Blood Qi Pills consumed in one day, if converted to money, would reach a terrifying figure of one hundred thousand!

"As expected, the path of a martial artist is too expensive!"

Lu Sheng shook his head and began to quietly tidy up the battlefield.

In the following period, after tasting the benefits, Lu Sheng also began a frenzied slaughter.

Basically, every day he would leave the city early and only return to Cloud City when the city gates were about to be locked.

And Lu Sheng's cultivation also began to improve bit by bit with the daily slaughter!

Ten days later.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed in his rented room, his eyes closed, with surging Blood Essence constantly churning within his body.

Blood Essence flowed through Lu Sheng's limbs and bones, and even through his skin, one could see streaks of red constantly flowing.

Lu Sheng sat quietly, and as time passed, his aura began to grow stronger.

A moment later, Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

His body trembled slightly.

A more powerful aura emanated from Lu Sheng.

"Blood Qi Layer Ten... I've reached it!!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly, his eyes becoming even brighter.

Ten days of cultivation, amidst the endless slaughter, Lu Sheng had finally raised his Blood Essence to ten points!

Not only his cultivation, but even Lu Sheng's physical body strength had reached double its original foundation!!

Under the enhancement of the [Slaughter] effect, through ten days of frenzied killing, Lu Sheng's physique had been terrifyingly strengthened.

"Now, even if I face those Martial Artists at Blood Qi Layer Twelve or even Thirteen, I have the strength to fight!"

"Even if I face a Martial Artist in the Blood Refining Realm, even if I can't defeat them, I can still retreat unharmed!"

Lu Sheng said excitedly.

This period's improvement has been truly terrifying, not only in terms of cultivation but also in the strengthening of my physical body.

Immediately, Lu Sheng looked toward the void.

The system panel slowly appeared.

[Host: Lu Sheng!]

[Cultivation: Blood Qi Layer Ten (10)]

[Martial Arts: Arhat Fist (Mastered)]

[Martial Talent: [Level Up!] (Purple) [Fist Master] (Blue) [Strong Strike] (White) [Resilience] (Green) [Ronin] (White) [Slaughter] (Purple) [Good Luck] (Green)]

In the Martial Talent section, a new green talent had appeared.

[Good Luck]!

This was a talent Lu Sheng had refreshed a few days prior. Although it was only a green talent, it could permanently boost Lu Sheng's luck.

Luck was something intangible. For now, Lu Sheng hadn't noticed any specific effects from [Good Luck].

However, the more the better!

Lu Sheng looked at his system panel with satisfaction, stretched, and was just about to lie down when his phone emitted a notification sound.

Lu Sheng picked up his phone and saw that Lan Linglong had sent him a message.

"Senior Sister?"

Lu Sheng was a little surprised and opened the message.

Upon seeing Lan Linglong's message, a sharp glint shot out from Lu Sheng's eyes.

"No need to go out of the city tomorrow, First Senior Sister is back!"
