Chapter 191: 145. Pureblood Human Path! Another strong warrior added!
After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan dried their hair and went to bed.
The two chatted before falling asleep.
Shen Qinghan mentioned that it was a year after Yuan Dongzhi had fully integrated with the Azure Jellyfish King’s gene that he mastered the skill of controlling the Qi-Blood within another’s body from a distance.
She, on the other hand, had mastered it in less than half a month since her fusion, far surpassing Yuan Dongzhi in talent.
She planned to keep her newfound skill of controlling Qi-Blood a secret, and learn from Lin Zichen to keep her cards close to her chest.
When she had mastered even more formidable skills and become stronger, then she would reveal her ability to control Qi-Blood.
After all, she was already proving to be extremely talented and could access any resources she needed; there was no need to show all her strengths just yet.
Keeping her cards close was the right choice.
To Shen Qinghan’s plans, Lin Zichen smiled and said, “Well, you’ve really learned the essence.”
The two continued to chat sporadically like this.
When the clock struck 11PM,
Lin Zichen suddenly thought of something.
He turned to Shen Qinghan and said, “I once said you were a Pure Blood Human too, and asked your master if you could follow the Pureblood Human Path. He said no, claiming your Qi-Blood was too weak.”
“But I just thought, if you can control someone else’s Qi-Blood from afar, there’s no reason you can’t control your own and perform Body Refining.”
“Most importantly, like me, you are a special being. We might be able to accomplish what ordinary people cannot.”
As he spoke, Lin Zichen sat up, looked at Shen Qinghan lying beside him, and said earnestly, “I’ll teach you how to use Qi-Blood in Body Refinement now. Give it a try.”
We are special beings… Shen Qinghan suddenly felt like she was being wooed, getting a kind of adolescent thrill from standing with her loved one against the world.
But… she didn’t feel embarrassed, instead, it felt wonderful.
“Han Han?”
Seeing Shen Qinghan spacing out, Lin Zichen called out, puzzled.
Shen Qinghan snapped back to reality and quickly sat up on the bed, her eyes resolute as she said, “You’re right, we are special, and I can definitely use Qi-Blood to refine my body!”
…
In the following period,
The night grew deep and quiet.
Lin Zichen patiently instructed while Shen Qinghan earnestly learned.
Two and a half hours later,
At 1:30 AM,
Shen Qinghan suddenly shouted excitedly, “I did it, Xiao Chen, I did it!”
She had successfully mastered the Blood Tempering Technique!
She could use spiritual power to control her own Qi-Blood and refine her body!
She could follow the Pureblood Human Path just like Lin Zichen!
Seeing that Shen Qinghan had really succeeded, Lin Zichen felt somewhat surprised.
Two and a half hours ago, he had only wanted her to give it a try, without much hope.
After all, the Blood Tempering Technique had its prerequisites.
According to Liu Chuanwu, one needed to have at least the vital energy and blood strength of a typical Fourth Order to have enough Blood Qi Power to refine the body.
However, Shen Qinghan’s current Biological Level was only a typical Second Order, yet she had mastered the Blood Tempering Technique.
She could use Qi-Blood to refine her body.
This was a bit of a paradigm shift.
“Xiao Chen, I can enslave Exotic Beast Genes to obtain their abilities, and you can absorb Exotic Beast Meat to gain their abilities; now both following the Pureblood Human Path, truly, we are a remarkable pair!”
Shen Qinghan excitedly hugged Lin Zichen, her pretty face flushed with excitement.
Lin Zichen smiled and said, “As we should be.”
He was happy for Shen Qinghan and felt excited, but he didn’t show it as openly as she did.
That was just his nature.
Shen Qinghan was the type to wear her emotions openly, while he was the type to remain poised at all times.
…
In the days that followed.
Whenever Shen Qinghan was in the dormitory, she would practice the Blood Tempering Technique with Lin Zichen, using Qi-Blood to refine her body.
With Lin Zichen, a master of Body Refining, at her side, Shen Qinghan didn’t take any detours.
Her progress in refining her body sped up.
In just under half a month,
Shen Qinghan had completely mastered Tempering Skin.
Her Biological Level evolved directly from a typical Second Order to a typical Third Order.
Though not as efficient as Lin Zichen, compared to Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan, she was overwhelming.
Moreover, there was something amazing.
Although Shen Qinghan had completely mastered Tempering Skin, making her skin much stronger, the feel of her skin remained unchanged from before, still tender and smooth.
If it weren’t for a skin strength test where a fruit knife had been forcefully drawn across her hand, Lin Zichen would have doubted whether she had refined her skin at all.
…
A few days later.
On a bright and sunny morning,
Shen Qinghan had no morning classes and was wrapped in a blanket, sleeping in.
Lin Zichen woke up early but didn’t rush to get up.
He sat leaning against the headboard, browsing the school app’s task system on his phone, thinking of picking up some off-campus tasks to earn school credits.
After browsing for a while, he remembered saying he wanted to expose Shen Qinghan to real combat, to toughen her up.
So, after half an hour of careful selection, he finally chose an off-campus task in the city to capture a drug dealer.
Task: Capture drug dealers, 21-member gang, armed with firearms, no mechanically modified humans, no Genetic Integrators, location on the outskirts of Shanhai City.
Reward: 50 school credits.
The reward for this task was only 50 school credits, indicating it wasn’t very difficult; it was quite suitable for bringing Shen Qinghan to get some real combat experience.
Right, this task it is…
Thinking this, Lin Zichen accepted the task in the system, unlocking more task details.
The task would begin at 11 PM the next evening. They needed to report to the security headquarters in Shanhai City two hours earlier and then join the security officers as reinforcements to capture the drug dealers.
