The Blazing Blood Blade at +2, and Its Ghost-Detection Function

After mastering the Indestructible Divine Skill, Lu Siye put the manual back into his system space. Then he laid the Blazing Blood Blade across his thighs.

"Looks like the Blazing Blood Blade can't quite keep up with a Night Wanderer Envoy's strength anymore!" Lu Siye murmured, gently rubbing the faint half-palm print on the blade.

That short man from the Web didn't look like a martial artist. His physical strength probably wasn't very great.

But he'd still left half a palm print on the Blazing Blood Blade with one strike. That meant the blade wasn't currently sturdy enough to withstand a Night Wanderer Envoy's attacks.

Given the situation, there were only two options.

He could either get a higher-quality weapon or keep enhancing the Blazing Blood Blade.

After thinking it over, Lu Siye chose to enhance the blade further. He was used to it, after all.

"System, enhance the Blazing Blood Blade!" Lu Siye gripped the hilt and thought to himself.

"Would the host like to spend 1,200 Fear Points to enhance the Blazing Blood Blade to +1?"

"Yes!" Lu Siye nodded.

As soon as he spoke, the Blazing Blood Blade rose from his thighs and floated in midair.

Blood-red flames flowed out of the mysterious patterns on the blade and covered the entire Tang Heng Blade in the blink of an eye.

A few minutes later, the red flames gradually died down. The Blazing Blood Blade slowly descended and came to rest in front of Lu Siye.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Blazing Blood Blade +2!"

Lu Siye reached out. The instant his hand closed around the hilt, he felt the blade tremble.

Then its buoyancy vanished. The enhanced Blazing Blood Blade felt much heavier than before, no longer light and insubstantial.

He ran his hand over the blade. The mysterious patterns that had been hidden reappeared, but they were dimmer than they'd been before the enhancement, now a dark red.

They were easy to overlook unless you looked closely.

Lu Siye activated the Indestructible Divine Skill again and held the Blazing Blood Blade over the same spot on his arm as before, lowering it gently.

Before the blade even touched his skin, Lu Siye felt a faint prickling sensation.

Looking closely, he saw that all the hairs on his arm had stood on end, as if his body had instinctively sensed danger.

He had a feeling the enhanced Blazing Blood Blade could easily pierce his defenses.

Lu Siye trusted his instincts, so he didn't continue testing it.

He set the Blazing Blood Blade beside his feet, then took out the two bottles of Blood Replenishment Pills. Spending 3,600 Fear Points, he enhanced all twenty pills into Blood Spirit Pills.

By then, most of his Fear Points had been spent, leaving him with just 5,256.

Only after finishing all this did Lu Siye let Fang Lanyue out.

Bzzzz—

The instant Fang Lanyue emerged from the Spirit Nether Jade Disc, the Blazing Blood Blade by Lu Siye's feet suddenly began to vibrate.

"Hmph!" Fang Lanyue glared at Lu Siye, cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Eh?" She had been a little upset, but when she saw the Blazing Blood Blade vibrating nonstop by Lu Siye's feet, curiosity got the better of her, and her anger vanished at once.

"What a strange blade! Why is it shaking by itself?" Fang Lanyue stared at the Blazing Blood Blade like a curious child. Then she edged closer, watching it with growing interest.

Suddenly, the blade began to vibrate faster, as if rejecting Fang Lanyue. Startled, she jumped two meters away.

Once Fang Lanyue had moved away, the blade's vibrations slowed again.

Lu Siye looked at the Blazing Blood Blade in astonishment, then glanced at Fang Lanyue. It only fell silent when he put his hand on the hilt.

Lu Siye rubbed his chin. He clearly remembered that the Blazing Blood Blade had started vibrating only after Fang Lanyue appeared.

And the closer she got, the more pronounced the vibrations became.

But why was the Blazing Blood Blade reacting to Fang Lanyue?

Could it be because she was a ghost?

Lu Siye glanced at Fang Lanyue, who stood nearby with her hair slightly on end from fright. He became more and more convinced that was the reason.

After all, the Blazing Blood Blade was an object of Yang energy, while ghosts were yin and evil. The two were natural enemies.

Still, he hadn't expected the enhanced Blazing Blood Blade to react to ghosts.

He'd have to test the range of its reaction.

Thinking this, Lu Siye turned to Fang Lanyue.

"Stand here and don't move. I'm going out to buy some oranges... Ahem, I mean, I'll be right back." Lu Siye almost let the words slip, but caught himself and quickly corrected them.

"Oh! Huh?" Before Fang Lanyue could react, Lu Siye had already vanished from the living room, leaving only the curtains fluttering.

Less than ten seconds later, Lu Siye returned.

He'd just tested it. When he was more than fifty meters away from Fang Lanyue, the reaction became very faint. Once he was over a hundred meters away, it disappeared completely.

"All right, you can go back to cultivating," Lu Siye said, waving at Fang Lanyue.

Fang Lanyue blinked her big eyes, scratched her head, and walked into the bedroom, looking utterly confused.

Can someone please tell me what just happened?

Unfortunately, Lu Siye would never answer Fang Lanyue's question before she asked it.

After sending Fang Lanyue away, Lu Siye took out a Blood Spirit Pill and prepared to continue cultivating the fourth layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

During the first three layers, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill focused on qi and blood and strength. It didn't strengthen Lu Siye's body. Only when he reached the fourth layer did his qi and blood, along with the Yang energy generated by his seven souls, begin to gradually strengthen his flesh and blood.

It was a gradual process that couldn't be rushed.

Moreover, after becoming a Night Wanderer Envoy, he had to constantly expend Yang energy to strengthen his Yang Fire. So Lu Siye's cultivation speed was noticeably slower than before.

Of course, the gap in strength between a Night Patrol Envoy and a Night Wanderer Envoy was enormous. Lu Siye wasn't dissatisfied with his current rate of progress.

After swallowing a Blood Spirit Pill, Lu Siye began cultivating.

He didn't know how much time had passed when seven black threads dropped down from the void. The Blazing Blood Blade beside Lu Siye suddenly began to vibrate.

His eyes snapped open. He grabbed the Blazing Blood Blade and slashed upward, turning the seven black threads into nothingness.

"Soul Control Art! The Web's website is only taking effect now?" Lu Siye watched the black threads vanish into the void and thought to himself.

Suddenly, Lu Siye seemed to sense something. He turned into a blur and rushed into the bathroom.

A few seconds earlier, in the mirror of the empty bathroom, a figure identical to Fang Lanyue had appeared.

The Fang Lanyue in the mirror pressed her palm against the glass. In that instant, the mirror rippled like a flat surface of water, and then a deathly pale hand reached out from within.
