Infinite Blood? What Use Is It?

However, the moment a trickle of blood escaped, Lin Tian sensed something was wrong—he could feel the blood draining from his veins.

He decisively bound his arm tight to stop the bleeding, then channeled his soul power to gather at the wound, and within a single breath, the injury had healed.

This won't do. The blood that flowed out came from my own body, so why just now...

Lin Tian immediately summoned his Corrupted Starfish Martial Soul. The originally dull yellow starfish was now a vibrant pink, brimming with blood energy, clearly the result of absorbing a massive amount of blood.

So, he hadn't been dreaming; he had indeed absorbed a vast quantity of blood to stabilize his body.

He was effectively an Evil Soul Master now. Upon becoming an Evil Soul Master, one gains something in their mind that normal people lack: a frenzied killing intent.

If the demands of one's martial soul are not met, one falls into a murderous madness: Evil Soul Masters with corpse-related martial souls must collect corpses, those related to souls must collect souls, and those related to blood must absorb blood.

Only after satisfying the body's needs can one return to normal.

He must have absorbed a massive amount of blood to regain his composure, so it definitely wasn't a dream.

Since he had gained those fangs through the Corrupted Starfish possession, biting into the Blood Sea Martial Soul to draw blood from it, then...

Lin Tian scanned the secret chamber and found nothing, so his gaze immediately locked onto the spot where Blood Fiend had vanished.

The ground was littered with what he had left behind: a set of clothes, a black robe, and six pieces of armor. Each piece radiated a terrifying aura and contained immense blood energy; they had to be Three-Character Battle Armor.

He didn't think Blood Fiend's armor was Four-Character Battle Armor; for one, Blood Fiend's soul power cultivation was limited, and for another, he didn't believe Blood Fiend could have obtained Heaven-Forged Metal from Zhen Hua.

Setting the battle armor aside for the moment, Lin Tian immediately locked his gaze onto that blood-colored ring.

This was the storage Soul Tool ring belonging to Blood Fiend.

With the master dead, the soul imprint must have vanished!

Furthermore, since Blood Fiend's Martial Soul and body were currently within his own Blood Sea Martial Soul, he carried the aura of Blood Fiend upon him.

He was essentially a living grave, which was truly hard to keep a straight face about...

Lin Tian immediately gripped the ring, probed it with his spiritual power, and injected his soul power.

The blood-colored soul power, imbued with the aura of Blood Fiend, influenced the storage Soul Tool, and finally, after a quarter of an hour, the seal loosened, allowing Lin Tian to take complete control of the storage Soul Tool.

Then, with a thought, he pulled a syringe directly from within.

As an Evil Soul Master who fed on blood, Blood Fiend was bound to have a syringe on him; Lin Tian had guessed as much, and it turned out he was right—

It was a circular tube, sharp at the top and thick at the bottom, with a pointed tip capable of piercing skin and blood vessels so that blood could flow out from within.

Since the previous method of slicing open the skin hadn't worked, he would try his second hypothesis.

Lin Tian took a deep breath and, without any hesitation, drove the sharp metal Blood Extraction Needle directly into his own skin and blood vessels.

With a "tear" sound, his skin and vessels were easily pierced. Lin Tian winced in pain, merely sucking in a cold breath as he furrowed his brows, focusing intently on the movements of his arm, the Blood Sea Martial Soul, and the Blood Extraction Needle.

Soon, blood began to appear in the Blood Extraction Needle, then flowed out frantically, pouring into the iron bucket Lin Tian had prepared in advance.

Just as he was ready to pull out the Blood Extraction Needle and heal his wound at any moment, a scene that shocked him occurred:

He actually could not feel the loss of blood from his arm. No matter how much flowed out, he felt nothing at all, and his complexion remained unchanged, still normal, without any pallor. Aside from feeling a bit hungry in his stomach, his body suffered no negative effects.

"Holy beans, it actually works!"

"This is a bug I've exploited!"

Lin Tian could feel that this blood was the same fluid found in the Blood Sea World.

There were no blood cells, nor were there any Sea Soul Beast remains.

It was just viscous blood.

If one had to look at it from a scientific perspective, this was all just blood plasma—

Blood is composed of blood cells and plasma.

The blood cells were too large to be extracted, so the large bucket of blood he had drawn was entirely plasma, the most ordinary plasma at that, devoid of any soul power.

Was it because he was still just a Soul Scholar, having not yet obtained any soul rings, nor having performed any enhancements to his martial soul?

If he were to upgrade his martial soul, and the Blood Sea evolved, would the plasma he extracted then transform into a supernatural liquid?

Lin Tian rubbed his chin, sinking into deep thought.

The scene at this moment was truly bizarre:

A youth, with a Blood Extraction Needle inserted into his arm, blood flowing frantically from the tube into an iron bucket.

The massive bucket was already full, and the blood was spilling over, pooling wildly across the floor!

Yet, the youth didn't care in the slightest.

Are you kidding me?

Why would Lin Tian care about that!

Following the current logic, the section of the needle that entered the Blood Sea World remained its normal size, not magnified countless times.

Normal blood vessels entering the microscopic world were shrunk down to the normal size of that microscopic world.

The blood flowing from it, which was the blood of the entire Blood Sea, could not be drained even if it flooded the entire Douluo Planet.

Why would he feel a shred of heartache over this!

Therefore, Lin Tian simply let the blood flow across the secret chamber, doing nothing to stop it.

He was merely pondering what use this bug of his actually had.

What could one do with infinite blood?

It didn't seem very useful.

Could it be eaten?

Could he obtain infinite food directly?

The essence of plasma is protein;

it could indeed fill one's stomach if cooked, but this blood of his was currently just the most ordinary blood.

It was no different from eating instant noodles.

It couldn't even provide a sense of fullness, let alone supply his body with the energy needed to produce blood cells. It was useless!

Thinking of this, Lin Tian instantly lost interest.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind that he found hard to accept: "Wait, if that's the case, then isn't it all over? If I exploit a bug for infinite blood, what's the damn point?"

What he wanted was to raise soul beasts within the Blood Sea World, to raise his own soul beasts, to raise those monsters of the Blood Sea, to nurture them and evolve them into super Cthulhu entities; he wanted to use various external interventions to change the entire Blood Sea World, creating various eras like a creator god.

But if everything from the outside world returned to its normal size upon entering the Blood Sea World, he wouldn't be able to influence anything!

"It's over, I'm screwed!"

Lin Tian was completely panicked now. After all, in his vision, external intervention in the Blood Sea was the greatest strength of this golden finger, the only way to unleash its maximum potential, but now it was all ruined...

However, I usually summon my martial soul to use it, right?

The Body Martial Soul is inherently a part of my body, and the Blood Sea Martial Soul already exists within me. If I don't summon the martial soul and just use my normal arm, can I intervene?

With this thought in mind, Lin Tian immediately pulled out the Blood Extraction Needle, healed his wound, retracted his Blood Sea Martial Soul, and swung his bare right arm, preparing to begin the trial that would decide his fate!
