Refuse? Then I'll beat you until you submit

Jade Body: "How was that? Do you submit?!"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "I refuse! You're only relying on the fact that you've reached Primary Grade, while I don't even have a grade yet. Once I do, I'll pin you to the ground and hammer you!"

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "Is that so?"

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method has initiated a sparring request against Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

"Ding! Nine Fire Saber has initiated a sparring request against Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

This time, Bloodthirsty Rampage did not rashly accept the requests.

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "What are you acting so smug for? Aren't you just relying on having more people? I'm not fighting you now. Once I grow stronger, I'll come back and teach you a lesson!"

At least he knew to hold back for now.

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method has initiated a forced sparring match against Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

Good heavens.

You could force a sparring match even if the other party refused the request?

Su Zhan's horizons had been broadened.

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method launched a fierce attack against Bloodthirsty Rampage, dealing heavy damage to Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method launched Berserk Strike against Bloodthirsty Rampage, dealing heavy damage to Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

"Ding! ..."

"Ding! Bloodthirsty Rampage attempted to defend, but Basic Qi and Blood Method still dealt heavy damage!"

"Ding! The victor has been decided. Bloodthirsty Rampage was beaten without the slightest ability to fight back. Basic Qi and Blood Method won completely!"

The eldest brother truly was the eldest brother.

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "Do you submit?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "I refuse!"

"Ding! Nine Fire Saber has initiated a forced sparring match against Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

"Ding! The victor has been decided. Bloodthirsty Rampage was beaten until he howled endlessly. Nine Fire Saber won completely!"

Nine Fire Saber: "Do you submit now?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "..."

He simply chose silence.

Jade Body: "I haven't used my once-a-day forced sparring chance yet. I'm joining in too!"

"Ding! Jade Body has initiated a forced sparring match against Bloodthirsty Rampage!"

"Ding! The victor has been decided. Bloodthirsty Rampage was beaten until he was barely alive. Jade Body won completely!"

Jade Body: "I'll ask you one more time. Do you submit? Will you acknowledge the boss?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage remained silent for a long while.

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "B-Boss..."

Nine Fire Saber: "Ah~~ That's more like it!"

Jade Body: "If you'd called us that from the start, wouldn't there have been no trouble at all? You just had to take several beatings first!"

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "We can fool around, but we must respect the boss! The boss's dignity cannot be offended. Otherwise, we absolutely will not let you off lightly!"

Nine Fire Saber: "That's right!"

Jade Body: "Whoever dares offend the boss, I'll be the first to object!"

Seeing how fiercely the cultivation methods supported and adored him, Su Zhan beamed with delight, thoroughly enjoying the feeling.

But he also knew it was time for him to step in as a peacemaker.

Su Zhan: "Alright, alright. We're all in the same group from now on, all good friends and brothers. Don't hurt the harmony!"

"Um... Fourth Brother! First, tell me what your cultivation method does, how long it will take to advance to the next grade, and what you crave. That way, I can strengthen you accordingly later on."

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "F-Fourth Brother?!"

Acknowledging someone as his boss was one thing, but he was only ranked fourth?

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "The rankings follow the order in which we joined the boss. I was the first to follow the boss, Nine Fire Saber was second, Jade Body was third, and you're fourth. So you're Fourth Brother."

Nine Fire Saber: "What? Do you have objections, Fourth Brother?"

Jade Body: "Haha, I have a younger brother now too! Fourth Brother, explain everything clearly to the boss. That way, the boss can help you speed up your cultivation!"

Bloodthirsty Rampage completely admitted defeat.

Fourth Brother it was, then.

He would endure this wave first.

Once he became powerful, he would get his revenge... He would become the eldest brother!

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "Boss, I'm Elite Grade, with a Blood Qi Attribute. My effect is to burn blood qi and unearth one's own potential, temporarily erupting with astonishing power. Upon reaching Primary Grade, strength increases by 0.5 times and lasts for one minute."

"Upon reaching Intermediate Grade, strength can increase by one times and last for one minute."

"Upon reaching Advanced Grade, strength can increase by two times and last for two minutes."

"Upon reaching Minor Accomplishment, strength can increase by four times and last for two minutes."

"Upon reaching Major Accomplishment, strength can increase by six times and last for three minutes."

"Upon reaching Perfection, strength can increase by ten times and last for five minutes!"

Nine Fire Saber: "Hiss~~"

Jade Body: "Good heavens, this is truly incredible!"

Even Su Zhan was stunned.

At Perfection, it could increase power tenfold and last five minutes?!

One had to know that when powerful experts fought, as long as the gap was too great, it was basically an instant kill... If this was cultivated, then fighting above one's grade would no longer be a problem!

Of course, this was a trump card, a killer move.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, it definitely could not be used lightly.

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "Hmph!"

He was clearly somewhat proud.

Basic Qi and Blood Method: "Its power is indeed formidable, but the side effects must be severe too, right?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "After the duration ends, one will fall into a state of blood qi weakness. If activated multiple times, it could even endanger one's life... But conversely, the shorter the duration of use, the lighter the side effects, perhaps even no side effects at all."

Su Zhan's eyes flashed when he heard that. "Fourth Brother, how many seconds can it be used without side effects?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "At Primary Grade, five seconds. The higher the grade, the longer the limit."

Five seconds was enough!

In battle, all it took was one unexpected strike to overturn the entire situation!

"Looks like the cultivation methods were right."

"A Divine Artifact—this cultivation method truly is a Divine Artifact!"

Su Zhan could not help growing excited.

Su Zhan: "Then what do you want to eat?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "Pills, Heavenly Treasures, flesh and blood—so long as it can benefit blood qi, I can eat it!"

Su Zhan: "Can Fierce Beast Flesh work?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "If there is no Warrior Flesh, Fierce Beast Flesh will do as well... The stronger the flesh and blood, the more beneficial it is to me."

This cultivation method was ambitious enough to want to eat people!

But Martial Artists cultivated blood qi. Once someone became a Martial Artist, their blood qi surged and seeped into every cell... To a Blood Qi Attribute cultivation method, wasn't Warrior Flesh a great tonic?

Su Zhan: "Then how much longer until you can break through to Primary Grade?"

Bloodthirsty Rampage: "At the current pace, roughly 346 days."

Nine Fire Saber: "What the hell? 346 days?"

Jade Body: "It takes that long just to reach Primary Grade? Wouldn't the time needed afterward be even more outrageous?"

Good heavens.

A whole year just to reach Primary Grade?!

Without automatic cultivation, if he cultivated without interruption for eight hours every day, wouldn't that take three years?

What about going from Primary Grade to Intermediate Grade? How absurdly long would that take?

He probably would not even dream of reaching Perfection in this lifetime!

Elite Grade truly was Elite Grade. This cultivation difficulty... was truly terrifying!
