52: Chapter 52 Minor Mastery, Major Mastery of Boxing Techniques?

Yingsha Mountain Range, Blood Demon Sect main altar.

The Blood Demon Ceremony altar, which once blazed with monstrous flames, had now turned into a Shura field.

Crimson blood pools overflowed and ran amok, with tattered demonic banners and corpses intertwining.

Only two people were tightly bound by cyan chains, kneeling in the bloodstains, looking in terror at the only standing figure before them — Qingxuan Sect Elder Zhou Mu.

She had originally come just to capture a core member of the Blood Demon Sect and take them back.

Who would have thought that this Blood Demon Sect would actually dare to make a move against her directly.

Since that was the case, naturally she would not hold back either.

She immediately joined forces with Ye Jinglan and easily slaughtered the entire Blood Demon Sect, leaving only the two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect in front of her.

"Hand over a wisp of your Divine Soul, and I can spare your lives!"

Elder Zhou Mu looked at the two people before her and said coldly.

Those two Blood Demon Sect Old Ancestors had their blood robes shattered and their auras withered, long having lost their usual fierce flames.

Among them, an old man with a gloomy expression flashed a trace of struggle and malice in his eyes upon hearing this, but more of it was despair.

The other one, who looked slightly younger, was already as pale as a sheet and trembling all over.

Handing over the Divine Soul was equivalent to completely handing one's life over to the other party.

As Nascent Soul experts, naturally they were unwilling to do so.

But now, if they wanted to survive, they had no other choice.

The tragic sight of their entire sect being slaughtered was still fresh before their eyes. If they resisted, the only outcome would be the destruction of both body and soul.

"... Fine! This old man... will hand it over!"

The gloomy old man finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

He closed his eyes, and with a violent fluctuation between his brows, a wisp of dark red Divine Soul Origin entangled with resentful Evil Qi was forcibly stripped out and drifted toward Elder Zhou Mu.

Seeing this, the slightly younger Nascent Soul demonic cultivator could only follow suit helplessly.

"This old servant, Xuehun, pays respects to Master!"

"This old servant, Xuesha, pays respects to Master!"

Elder Zhou Mu nodded and then said.

"Take all the resources that your Blood Demon Sect can carry and follow me back to Qingxuan Sect."

The two of them agreed one after another.

"Yes!"

Qingxuan Sect.

Lingtai Peak, inside the Immortal Cave.

After carefully reading through the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist, Bai Yunzhou finally took out the jade box that Cao Yuanbai had given him earlier.

The jade box opened, and the blood jade ganoderma quietly lay inside. Its entire body was crimson like coagulated blood, and its surface shimmered with a warm, jade-like luster. Wisps of scorching blood qi rose, dyeing the entire practice room with a faint reddish glow.

Bai Yunzhou took a deep breath, and the rich blood qi and medicinal power surged into his body through his nasal cavity, causing the Qi and blood throughout his body to faintly boil, as if experiencing sweet dew after a long drought.

"Indeed, it is a good thing."

Without further hesitation, he first placed the Jade Slip recording the essential principles of the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist in front of him to comprehend at any time, and then picked up the palm-sized blood jade ganoderma, putting it directly into his mouth.

The ganoderma melted the moment it entered his mouth, transforming into a scalding hot current that instantly surged into his abdomen!

Boom!

As if a dormant volcano had erupted within his body, the majestic and pure blood qi energy rushed like a breached flood, scattering overwhelmingly into his limbs and bones, and his internal organs.

Bai Yunzhou's skin instantly turned crimson, and his green veins bulged slightly. The sound of blood flowing was like a surging river, clearly audible within the silent stone chamber.

Resisting the scorching pain as if he were about to be split apart, he immediately guided this violent energy according to the circulation route of the first layer of the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist, "Blood Qi Like a Furnace".

His Divine Sense sank into his body, and his mind concentrated on transporting the Qi and blood.

The profound essence of the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist lay in supporting war through war, using blood qi as firewood to ignite the fire of Battle Intent, and tempering an indestructible Fist Intent and Physical Body.

Its first layer was to first temper one's blood qi to be condensed, surging, and as scorching as a melting furnace, laying a Foundation for subsequent lethal fist moves.

At this moment, the massive amount of blood qi provided by the blood jade ganoderma was precisely the best fuel to ignite the fire of this first layer.

Bai Yunzhou's breathing became long and powerful. With every inhalation and exhalation, his chest and abdomen rose and fell like a bellows pumping.

Inside his body, the violent torrent of blood qi was forcibly constrained by his will, roaring and surging along specific Meridians routes.

Wherever it passed, the Meridians were widened and became tougher.

The muscle fibers were repeatedly washed and torn, and then rapidly reorganized under the nourishment of the majestic blood qi, becoming denser and stronger.

A slight tingling sensation came from deep within his bones; that was the blood qi deeply tempering them, enhancing their density and hardness.

Sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and under the high temperature of his body surface, it evaporated into white mist.

Within the white mist, faint blood-colored specks of light flickered, which were signs of the Impurities within his body being refined and expelled.

His mind was completely immersed in Cultivate, forgetting about time.

The Profound Truth of the fist technique in the Jade Slip mutually verified with the circulation of Qi and blood in his body. At first, it was somewhat stagnant, but as the blood qi operation became smoother and smoother, his understanding of "Blood Qi Like a Furnace" also grew increasingly profound.

I do not know how much time had passed, but the endlessly surging torrent of blood qi in his body gradually calmed down. No longer violent, it became docile and heavy, like streams of crimson magma flowing slowly and steadily through the Meridians.

Every drop of blood seemed to contain astonishing power and heat.

Bai Yunzhou felt that his strength was growing rapidly, and his Physical Body strength had reached an unprecedented level.

With a slight movement of his mind, he slowly raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Hum!

The air around his fist tip twisted slightly, and a scorching, barbaric, and aggressive blood qi force naturally emanated through his body, faintly forming a layer of light red shimmer on the surface of his fist.

He could even hear the strong and powerful beating sound of his heart. Every beat pumped out enough majestic blood qi to shake mountains.

" 'Blood Qi Like a Furnace', it is done!"

A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly retracted his fist.

This meant that his Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist was considered to have reached Minor Achievement!

At this moment, the crimson color on his body surface gradually receded.

But beneath his skin, it seemed to hide a volcano ready to erupt at any time, full of explosive power.

The medicinal power of the blood jade ganoderma had not been completely exhausted yet. Some pure blood qi still precipitated deep within his flesh and blood, continuously nourishing his body.

Bai Yunzhou did not stop, instead turning to comprehend the subsequent fist moves and force-exertion techniques of the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist.

Right inside this tiny stone chamber, he deduced the fist technique with his mind and simulated the force with blood qi.

Sometimes he was as still as an ancient pine, and sometimes he moved like a galloping thunderbolt. Although he did not truly throw a punch, the Qi and blood all over his body constantly surged, gathered, and erupted with his mind, with the faint sound of wind and thunder echoing within his body.

Time passed quietly.

When Bai Yunzhou opened his eyes once more, the divine light in his pupils was brilliant, and his aura was profound and dense, making him look like a completely different person compared to before his seclusion.

Not only was the first layer of the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist completely consolidated, but he also had a preliminary comprehension framework for the subsequent lethal moves.

He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and a series of crisp cracking sounds immediately came from within his body, like a tightened bowstring or the clanging of gold and stone.

Throwing a casual punch without using spiritual power, relying solely on Physical Body strength, he struck a low air-blasting sound in the air.

"The blood jade ganoderma truly has extraordinary effects; it can actually save me months of hard work."

Bai Yunzhou nodded with satisfaction, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the value of Cao Yuanbai's "apology gift".

He put away the jade box, which was almost exhausted and much dimmer in color.

"Although it is just entry-level, my current Physical Body strength has improved by a huge margin compared to before!"

"With my current strength, if I were to encounter Gu Yuncheng from back then, I would definitely be able to win easily, and I wouldn't have to flee in such a wretched state like before."

Thinking of this, he prepared to head to the testing square to see what level his Foundation had reached now.

However, as soon as he came out, he bumped into Zhou Zhiting.

At this moment, the other party was practicing fist techniques on the open space outside the Immortal Cave.

It was precisely the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist.

Furthermore, he was shocked to find that her set of fist techniques had actually reached Minor Achievement, and was even not far from Major Achievement!
