Bloodline Guidance, Blood Contains Divine Radiance

Above a cluster of low-rise buildings at the border of the old town and the university town, a lean figure leaped swiftly across the rooftops like a night owl.

Xiahou Yuan stopped at the top of an abandoned water tower and slowly closed his eyes.

A night breeze blew by, and he took a deep breath. The dark red blood energy belonging to the "Holy Clan" within his body began to vibrate rhythmically.

"Bang... bang..."

In a dimension imperceptible to ordinary people, an extremely faint yet beacon-like resonance of blood ties was clearly reflected in his mind.

Xiahou Yuan opened his eyes, a mocking sneer flashing in his vertical pupils.

"The darkest place is under the lamp? The most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"The idea is indeed quite good. A typical stalker might actually be fooled by your unconventional trick. What a pity, young lady..."

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

"You simply don't understand. In my perception, you are as dazzling as a torch in the darkness!"

"Whoosh--!"

He blurred into a blur and headed straight for Jinling Martial University.

at the same time.

In a dark alley less than 500 meters from the back street of Jinling Martial University.

Xiahou Ying was moving quickly along the wall, her forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, her heart pounding like a drum.

Something's not right...

A chilling sense of crisis, as if she were being watched by a venomous snake, suddenly enveloped her entire body! This feeling grew stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"We've been discovered? How could it be so fast?!"

Xiahou Ying gritted her teeth, no longer daring to follow the main road, and instead hastily turned into the ruins of an urban village that had not yet been demolished. The terrain here was extremely complex, like a maze.

Just as she turned a dark corner...

"Bang!"

She crashed headfirst into a solid chest; the powerful recoil sent her staggering back two steps, nearly causing her to fall.

"Who?!"

Xiahou Ying was shocked. With a flick of her wrist, a delicate short sword slipped from her palm.

"Where are you rushing off to in the middle of the night, Xiahou?"

A familiar and calm voice rang out in the darkness.

By the dim moonlight, Xiahou Ying could see the face of the person who had come into view, and she was immediately stunned.

"Dongfang Yueming? What are you doing here?"

Dongfang Yueming was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent. He had just Point Allocation his training at the Stone Forest training ground behind the mountain and was on his way back to the dormitory when he unexpectedly ran into this "missing" young lady.

"Just passing by," Dongfang Yueming replied casually, but his gaze passed over Xiahou Ying and looked into the darkness deep in the alley.

Just as Xiahou Ying was about to say something, that chilling sense of crisis suddenly exploded to its peak!

"Boom!"

A powerful pressure belonging to the Third Level of the Blood Refining Realm descended with a thunderous roar, like Mount Tai crashing down!

"Young Miss, you run so fast! I've been looking for you everywhere."

A chilling voice came from above.

Xiahou Ying looked up abruptly and saw that Xiahou Yuan had somehow gotten up and was now standing on a broken wall beside her, looking down at her with undisguised mockery in his eyes.

"Xiahou Yuan?!" Xiahou Ying's face turned pale, and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

She knew she was no match for the family butler.

In her utter despair, Xiahou Ying caught a glimpse of Dongfang Yueming out of the corner of her eye. She gritted her teeth and, in that extremely brief moment, made a decision.

Using the act of turning to face Xiahou Yuan, she very discreetly reached into her tactical backpack, pulled out a heavy waterproof bag, and, using the fluctuations of qi and blood that only the two of them could feel as cover, stuffed it into Dongfang Yueming's large hoodie pocket!

Dongfang Yueming raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, but did not resist, letting her push it in.

"Uncle Yuan, I'll go back with you! Don't implicate the innocent!"

Xiahou Ying took a deep breath, threw the short sword on the ground, spread her arms to block Dongfang Yueming, and pretended to accept her fate.

"Innocent?"

Xiahou Yuan leaped down from the broken wall, giving Dongfang Yueming a cold glance.

In Xiahou Yuan's perception, this boy's qi and blood were weak, only at the Fifth Level of Blood Nourishing, practically like an ant that could be crushed at any moment. Under normal circumstances, he would have definitely killed him on the spot to prevent the news from leaking out.

But he recognized the face.

Xiahou Yuan chuckled and withdrew his killing intent.

"Let's go, young lady. The head of the family is still waiting for you."

"Whoosh!"

The two figures transformed into afterimages and quickly disappeared into the night.

The alleyway fell silent once more.

Dongfang Yueming stood quietly in place, making no move to stop them. Only after their presence had faded did he slowly take out the waterproof bag that Xiahou Ying had given him from his pocket.

I opened it and took a look.

Inside was a jade slip emitting a faint glow, a thick stack of federal cash cards (worth 100,000), and a letter.

Dongfang Yueming unfolded the letter.

After reading Xiahou Zhang's desperate last words, a cold glint flashed in Dongfang Yueming's deep eyes.

"The Xiahou Family is truly a Demon Cave that devour people without spitting out the bones."

"One hundred thousand yuan, plus a Profound Grade Blood Refining Method."

Dongfang Yueming weighed the jade slip in his hand, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"I'm the kind of person who hates owing others the most."

"System, enter the data!"

[Ding! You have learned the cultivation technique "Crimson Flame Blood Tempering Art" (Profound Grade) (0/18, Not Yet Entry)!]

Dongfang Yueming's eyes narrowed, and he then took out the two Yellow Grade Blood Refining Method that he had bought on the black market earlier.

"With these two added, the materials are complete."

"System, give me Point Allocation!"

[Ding! 288 points consumed, Crimson Flame Blood Tempering Art Perfection!]

[Ding! 144 points consumed, "Iron Bone Blood Refining Method" Perfection!]

[Ding! 144 points consumed, "Boiling Blood Art" Perfection!]

"Merge two Yellow Grade weapons!"

"Merge this newly created Profound Grade with the Crimson Flame Blood Tempering Art!"

[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained the Earth Grade cultivation technique "Nine Netherworlds Prison Suppression Scripture" (Perfection)!]

With the birth of this Earth Grade cultivation technique, which leans towards extreme violence and physical defense, the blood and qi within Dongfang Yueming's body began to churn like boiling water.

But he didn't stop!

"The final step!"

"Merge it with the ' Supreme Mysterious Ice-Wood Blood Refining True Scripture ' (Earth Grade) within me!!!"

"BOOM--!!!"

The moment the command was given, it felt as if a cosmic explosion had occurred within Dongfang Yueming's body!

Extreme cold, extreme heat, Vitality green wood, rage, and the power to suppress the prison... five completely different Earth Grade blood characteristics began to undergo the most incredible sublimation and reorganization under the system's great power!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]

[Obtained the Heaven Grade Blood Refining Technique - "Chaos Creation Blood Refining Scripture" (Perfection)!]

"Buzz--"

At this moment, the blood within Dongfang Yueming's body, which was as white as mutton fat jade, underwent another qualitative change!

The blood lost all its impurities, transforming into a pure, almost tangible, Liuli color! And in the deepest part of each drop of blood, a faint yet dazzling divine radiance was born!

Like the rising Rising Sun, it contains both boundless Vitality and destructive power!

[Top-Tier Perfection: Blood Contains Divine Radiance]!

Dongfang Yueming felt that his physical strength had reached an unbelievable level. Even if his arm were severed now, with the "Divine Dawn" Vitality contained in his blood, the severed limb could regenerate in a very short time!

"Is this... the pinnacle of the Blood Refining Realm?"

Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, a faint dark golden light flowing within his deep pupils.

He glanced in the direction Xiahou Yuan and the other man had left, a murderous glint suddenly rising in his eyes.

"Blood food?"

"Since you enjoy eating people so much..."

"Buzz!"

Dongfang Yueming took a step forward.

[Heaven Grade Ultimate Technique - the Ends of the Earth Are Within Reach]!

His figure disappeared without a sound, merging directly into the Xukong in front of him and vanishing instantly!
