"Do you want to keep playing those boring games?"
Standing on the warship, Zhou Xueyi looked at Wang Hao, who jumped aboard from the merchant ship, with a mixture of confusion and disdain.
She was fully aware of Wang Hao's recent actions and had even cooperated with them, but she still couldn't understand his intentions, as if he were playing a game.
Are you bored?
With a blank, innocent blink, Wang Hao's body shifted, reverting to his original, 250-foot height.
"You're the only one who doesn't find it boring!"
Unable to resist rolling her eyes, Zhou Xueyi asked, "Should we change our identities right away and continue having fun?"
Her main task here is to provide support and assistance to the other side, as she has done on previous occasions.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Wang Hao was greatly surprised. In the previous handovers, this girl had always been aloof and goddess-like, never speaking to him. This time, however, she was acting quite strangely.
See for yourself!
Zhou Xueyi didn't say much, and handed over an envelope.
Puzzled, Wang Hao took the envelope and opened it. His expression immediately turned sinister. With a powerful jerk of his hand, the letter turned into dust and scattered down.
" The Confucian School are determined to fight me to the death!"
The contents of the envelope were simple: Yushu had accidentally saved Tie Niu, who was being hunted by the Confucian School, and learned from him that Zhao Dachui and his son, as well as Sun Ruonan and others, had all been secretly captured by the Confucian School, who wanted to force them to reveal the secret method for forging the Xun Feather Cloth and the secret of his true form.
Clearly, the Confucian School still wanted to get rid of Wang Hao. But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, they were mortal enemies with almost no possibility of reconciliation, so it was understandable that they would do such a thing.
He just hadn't expected that Zhao Dachui and the others, who had disappeared for so long, would be captured by the Confucian School, with only Tie Niu escaping, or rather...
"They're deliberately trying to lure me in! How cliché!"
With his starry eyes narrowed slightly, Wang Hao roughly guessed the Confucian School's purpose, which was clearly the same scenario as the last time with the Fuwei Escort Agency.
"It's a cliché, but it works. Aren't you going to save your friend?"
With her arms crossed and leaning against the bow of the boat, Zhou Xueyi had already calculated that this man would definitely take the bait; otherwise, he wouldn't be the man she had her eye on.
"Of course we should rescue them, but we need to do some preparations beforehand. It seems we'll have to take some risks again this time!"
With a sinister smile, Wang Hao had a plan in mind. He casually asked Zhou Xueyi, "How many of you have reached the First-Rate level?"
"One hundred and thirty-five people, some on my ship, and some left to build a base on a deserted island in the East Sea."
Not daring to be negligent, Zhou Xueyi responded with an accurate number.
"Go to your base, and while you're at it, have these people prepare the beast blood needed for the fusion."
His face lit up with joy. This number was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations. He had originally thought that a few dozen people would be good, but he did not expect there to be more than a hundred. It seemed that Zhou Xueyi and the others had not relaxed their cultivation during this period.
"Are you going to fuse bloodlines again? You won't be able to handle it!"
With her brows furrowed, Zhou Xueyi vaguely guessed Wang Hao's thoughts; clearly, he wanted to fuse with other bloodlines again.
She was well aware of the risks involved. Last time, this guy had fused with her bloodline, which had left him covered in injuries and almost killed him. Now, if he wanted to fuse with her again, it would be like risking his life.
"Don't worry, have faith in me. I'm the man who's going to change the world, I won't die so easily!"
He smiled, revealing two rows of bright white teeth that shimmered in the sunlight.
"Who's worried about you!"
Spitting, Zhou Xueyi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she almost lost her aloof goddess demeanor.
The crew members on the ship and Xie Feng, who had just jumped aboard, wisely disappeared without disturbing the two.
The two ships set sail again, leaving the Bohai Sea and entering the vast East Sea. Two days later, they arrived at a deserted island that was only a dozen miles in size.
From the outside, it appears to be just a deserted island with no inhabitants, but in reality, a cluster of houses is hidden in the mountains and forests inside, only firmly concealed by tall trees.
This was the temporary base Zhou Xueyi had chosen, specifically built to combat the Japanese pirates and used for replenishing her supplies and training.
After all, their identities are sensitive, and it is not advisable for them to set foot on the coastal areas of the Central Plains for the time being, so they can only build a base on this deserted island.
Fortunately, the Da Ming had a maritime ban policy, and with the rampant presence of Japanese pirates, almost no merchant ships dared to venture deep into the open sea; they mostly just sailed in the coastal waters. Therefore, there was no need to worry about this base being discovered.

On a clearing on the deserted island, Wang Hao sat cross-legged and pulled out his attribute panel to look at it.
Firstly, among the six attributes, Qi, Shen, and Po have all made considerable progress. In comparison, True Spirit Sword Intent and Bloodline Power are rather disappointing, having almost encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.
Wang Hao was well aware that this was partly due to his own actions, and partly due to the influence of this particular place.
His True Spirit Sword Intent was rapidly enhanced by the Sword Force left behind by the Sword Demon's sword, so his foundation was somewhat unstable. He had been working on consolidating it during this period, which is why he hadn't made a breakthrough.
However, the Bloodline Power is truly impossible to break through. This thing is appearing in this world for the first time, almost like creating something from scratch. The difficulty of breaking through it is much greater than that of Innate Qi and Divine Sense.
That's why he had the idea of creating the Blood Essence Martial Path.
However, creating Blood Essence Martial Path is extremely difficult, no less than creating a completely new Body Refinement, which is not enough for him with his current foundation.
However, once it is created, his Bloodline Power can also break through to the Third Tier, and his strength will increase dramatically again.
At that time, we will have no fear of those eight old Confucian School. Even if they wield ancient swords and set up the Eight Extremes Sword Formation, we will be able to retreat unscathed.
"But how can we fuse Innate Qi with the Bloodline Power?"
Looking at the attribute panel, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In his vision, Qi and blood are a weakened version of essence and blood, and the ultimate cultivation is the condensation of essence and blood.
The problem is that he didn't know the method of condensing essence blood in his Primordial World past life, which is quite a problem.
In other words, he now has to start from scratch and deduce the possibilities. After all this time, he has only settled on one idea: to combine Innate Qi with Bloodline Power, which is the most feasible.
The ideas have been outlined, but there are no concrete implementation methods, and not even a reference point.
"It seems I still need to break through to the Third Tier of physical strength first, so that my Bloodline Power can undergo a transformation!"
After much deliberation, Wang Hao finally gave up in frustration.
It's almost impossible for him to deduce the Blood Essence Martial Path right now; he needs to find a reference point first, and he chose his own body.
Once his physical strength breaks through to the Third Tier and undergoes a transformation, he can use that as a reference to make deductions.
To this end, he devised a violent method of breakthrough, which involved fusing the Bloodline Power and using the conflict between these different Bloodline Power to destroy the body, thereby achieving progress and breakthrough through destruction.
This method sounds incredibly bloody, but it is indeed a path.
"Everyone's here!"
Just as Wang Hao was deep in thought, Zhou Xueyi led a group of people over quickly, the vast majority of whom were women, with only about thirty men.
These were all rescued by Zhou Xueyi during the suppression of Japanese pirates, and they all harbored Blood Sea for the pirates. Driven by this hatred over the past two years, they have all cultivated to the First-Rate level.
The crowd remained silent, standing in a neat square formation on the open ground for Wang Hao's inspection.
"While the primitive method is the most effective and allows for the fastest progress, it is also the most painful. Failure will result if one cannot persevere. I will say it one last time: those who are unwilling may withdraw."
Wang Hao didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
No one spoke, no one retreated, and their expressions were full of determination.
Wang Hao glanced at those resolute faces and nodded with satisfaction.
These people are the most important foundation for his future development and also his powerful helpers.
"Alright, now step forward one by one, each carrying the prepared beast blood."
Following instructions, everyone stepped forward in an orderly fashion. The first to step forward was a young girl. Wang Hao used his Innate Divine Sense to extract the beast blood she had taken out and integrate it into her own bloodline.
Despite the girl's great pain, she persevered without uttering a sound. This Yi Li impressed Wang Hao, who was only slightly less determined than Zhu Ruoxue.
These people truly lived up to their reputation as elites chosen by Zhou Xueyi; not one of them failed in fusing and Awakening their Bloodline Power, and they all successfully Awakening their Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability.
These people possessed various Bloodline Divine Ability, but Wang Hao was most interested in the Bloodline Divine Ability Awakening by the first girl who stepped forward.
The Bloodline Divine Ability Awakening by this girl is very strange. It is a Metalization ability that allows her to devour a certain metal and then assimilate it with her body, after which her body will acquire the properties of that metal.
That alone is quite impressive!
What's your zodiac sign?
Wang Hao called the girl over, very curious about the beast blood she used.
The animal blood used by these people was selected according to their own zodiac signs, all within the twelve zodiac animals. However, comparing the appearances of the twelve zodiac animals, he couldn't quite place them.
Which zodiac animal would be born with this ability to Metalization?
"My benefactor, Qiao'er was born in the Year of the Rat!"
The young girl Qiao'er, curiously peeked at Wang Hao; it was the first time she had ever met this mysterious benefactor!
"You were born in the Year of the Rat? Could you show me the Nezumi you chose?"
Blinking in bewilderment, Wang Hao never expected that the beast blood this girl had fused with was actually from Nezumi. That really had nothing to do with this kind of Metalization Bloodline Divine Ability!
Was she using a mechanical Nezumi?
" Er Ya!"
The girl Qiao'er, nodded, turned her head and shouted towards the forest to the side. Soon after, a huge creature jumped out from it, leaving Wang Hao completely dumbfounded.
"This... this is Nezumi?"
