56: Chapter 53 Pure Yang 56: Chapter 53 Pure Yang The third floor of the tavern, the tea cup in Long Heng’s hand had unknowingly been encased in a layer of ice.
“Such a swift blade, such quick movents, killing a man in the blink of an eye, truly a white out of nowhere!” Zuo Qingyun let out a ‘pfft’ of laughter from across the table, his eyes teasing: “How could we not have wine at this ti?
Shopkeeper, are you blind?
Bring wine and dishes for and Eldest Young Master Long at once!”
Long Heng gave Zuo Qingyun a cold glance and then stood up, looking down below.
“Heng Wei, did you see your junior brother’s blade clearly?”
Heng Wei was one of his recently recruited subordinates, originally nad Han Wei, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall of this session.
After defecting to his command, he changed his surna to Heng.
Although he was unremarkable among the Martial Arts Academy, he was strong enough to be ranked within the top three of all disciples, even above Liu Xingruo, the foremost disciple of the West Courtyard.
This was a person Long Heng had been cultivating with all his might, always scheming to get him into the True Inheritor’s gate of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.
“I saw it clearly!”
Heng Wei knelt down halfway and clenched a fist towards Long Heng: “Eldest Young Master, his draw sword style is boosted with the ‘Secret Technique Totem’.
His sword speed is very fast, and his movents are very agile.
My Nine Palace Sword might not be able to defend against it.”
Long Heng nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of admiration.
Heng Wei was telling the truth, and if he had been boasting, Long Heng would have actually been displeased.
He tossed a sword with a flick of his hand, passing the Eagle Sword Du Hong’s sword over: “How about now?”
Upon receiving the sword, Heng Wei’s eyes brightened: “With the aid of this sword, killing him will be as easy as flipping one’s hand!
However, just to be on the safe side, please bestow upon one more top-grade Blood lt Pill, Eldest Young Master!”
The Blood lt Pill is an elixir used internally by the Police Pool of Blood, which can stimulate the abnormal power in the bloodline for a short period and enhance strength and True Yuan.
The top-grade Blood lt Pill not only has no side effects but can also enhance the Martial Cultivator’s physique to a certain degree.
Although these were items that only existed within the Police Pool of Blood, over hundreds of years, a few of these ‘Blood lt Pills’ had inevitably leaked out due to various reasons.
“Heng Wu, give him the Blood lt Pill!”
Long Heng swept his robe sleeve and pointed at the wine brought by the shopkeeper at his side: “Go and slaughter that bastard, and I’ll pour the wine for you personally.”
Heng Wei’s eyebrows raised, and he chuckled: “Understood, my lord.
Please wait a mont!”
He stood up and walked toward the arena with large strides.
Seeing this, Zuo Qingyun couldn’t help but frown slightly.
This Long Heng not only used a Seventh-Rank treasure sword but also resorted to using a top-grade Blood lt Pill!
However, since he hadn’t prohibited its use before, it wasn’t appropriate for him to comnt now.
The rules of the Life and Death Arena were such that one could use any ans necessary to win.
“Soone!” Zuo Qingyun drained the tea in his hand and t Long Heng’s gaze directly: “Send up an unsealed ‘Blood Refining Light Steel Blade’ and also provide that young brother with a Blood lt Pill.
I’ve said my piece earlier, I won’t let him be at a disadvantage.”
Long Heng let out a scornful laugh and turned his gaze back to the arena.
Even the best ‘Blood Refining Light Steel Blade’ was no more than Eighth Rank, far inferior to Du Hong’s ‘Rune Eagle Sword’.
And he was certain that Zuo Qingyun didn’t have a top-grade Blood lt Pill in his possession.
anwhile, below the arena, a chorus of jeers and curses filled the air.
“Over already?
F**k his Immortal’s board to pieces.”
“One move, another one move!
I just placed my bet on twenty moves, a whole three taels of Demon Silver.”
“Isn’t that ‘Heng’s Eighteen Riders’ from the Long Family’s Eldest Young Master supposed to be so powerful?
The two most formidable among them are rumored to rank within the top ten of the Inner Sect Middle-level of Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, so why are they underperforming now?”
“It’s not that they’re underperforming, it’s that this guy is too formidable.
His form is like a shadow, his blade as swift as the wind.
That strike just now was clearly of Eighth Grade or lower quality!”
“That Chu bastard deserves to die, he made lose miserably.”
“The next match should be a win, right?
Eldest Young Master Long can endure this?
Why not bring out a few good hands?”
Chu Xisheng also heard the shouting and cursing below but ignored it.
He was looking ahead with a slight smile on his face.
The Martial Arts Points that had fallen to 37 increased back to 48 after a grand display of fireworks.
Indeed, the Life and Death Arena is an excellent place to enhance one’s reputation.
Not only are there many spectators enjoying the show, but also a large number of Jianghu characters are hidden amongst them.
There are innurable Ninth Grade experts, Eighth Rank fighters are as common as carp crossing a river, and the Seventh and Sixth Grade characters significantly outnumber those from Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy.
At this mont, the term ‘Vengeance’ on the status bar had changed.
——More than three hundred Martial Cultivators of Ninth Grade and above bear you ill will, enhancing your Vengeful Blade Intent to dium strength.
It must be due to the large number of people who lost money just now, making many Martial Cultivators in the audience harbor hostility toward him.
Chu Xisheng was browsing his System Panel and Martial Arts Treasure Vault, attempting to find items that could strengthen his abilities.
Eventually, he hesitated slightly, then decided to use one Martial Arts Point to refresh the vault.
Chu Xisheng was reluctant to waste Martial Arts Points unless absolutely necessary.
Especially since tonight at midnight, the Martial Arts Treasure Vault would refresh on its own.
But now, anxious to increase his strength, if he could not leave the arena alive, those points would be useless anyway.
Following the refresh of the vault, a vast array of items appeared before Chu Xisheng.
He imdiately focused on the third item.
Pure Yang Wind Body First Stage—Permanently increases your Primordial Spirit Power by fifty percent, your strength by fifty percent, your speed by twenty percent, your reflexes by twenty percent, your endurance by twenty percent, and your resistance by twenty percent.
It also nurtures the power of Pure Yang and the fierce wind inside your body, requiring 25 Martial Arts Points to exchange.
Note: This talent can be fused with the Pure Yang Thunder Body.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but be slightly moved.
Enhancing Primordial Spirit Power by fifty percent?
Would this solve the problem of insufficient spiritual power when he uses his Sword Intent?
He imdiately chose to exchange, and then he saw the icon explode, turning into a stream of golden energy that rged into his body.
Chu Xisheng felt a warm current flowing through his channels, internal organs, and all over his limbs and bones.
In the display before his eyes, the line reading ‘Pure Yang Thunder Body (First Rank)’ changed to simply ‘Pure Yang (First Grade)’.
Imdiately after, Chu Xisheng’s gaze moved to the Martial Intent section.
——Vengeful Blade Intent, can be enhanced for 10 Martial Arts Points!
Chu Xisheng chose ‘Yes,’ and the number of Martial Arts Points decreased from 22 to 12.
Once again, a piercing sensation attacked his brain.
With countless mory scenes erging from nowhere into his mind, the term ‘Vengeful Residual Intent (First Level)’ changed to ‘Vengeful Residual Intent (Second Layer)’.
——Your understanding of Sword Intent has increased!
The Spiritual Shock of your sword swings is enhanced, you can clearly perceive changes in your enemy’s strength, use their force against them, and counter-attack your opponent.
Chu Xisheng closed his eyes slightly, browsing through the newly acquired mories in his mind, experiencing this unique Sword Intent.
Suddenly, a voice called out from below the platform, “Young brother, this is a blade sent by our lord, along with a Blood lt Pill.
Catch!”
In the corner of his eye, Chu Xisheng saw a dark figure rushing towards him.
He reached out to catch the blade and the Elixir Bottle, and his eyes imdiately lit up.
The blade was an unsealed Blood Refining Light Steel Blade, slightly stronger than the Magic Refining Light Steel Blade.
In fact, the forging process for both was the sa, but the Blood Refining Light Steel Blade used better materials and had an additional process, allowing the wielder to handle the blade more adeptly.
Chu Xisheng cut open the finger on his left hand, and as a strand of blood flowed onto the blade, he imdiately felt a connection, as if the blade was a natural extension of his body.
However, Chu Xisheng took a quick glance at the Blood lt Pill and then tucked it away in his bosom.
This Mid-grade Blood lt Pill could stimulate True Yuan but would also leave hidden injuries in his ridians.
Just then, a handso young man about sixteen, leaped over the sword wall and stood before Chu Xisheng.
He wore a three-leaf waist badge at his waist and held the Rune Eagle Sword from Duhong, smiling as he gave Chu Xisheng a friendly fist salute, “Junior Brother Chu!
I am Heng Wei.
I’ve co to learn from your esteed techniques.”
