I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#278 - The Supreme Truth in the Red Lotus

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xiaodouding seemed unable to believe her ears, her pair of dark, glistening eyes fixed on Zhang Chen, her little nose twitching: "Didn't you drink? How did you inflate like this?"

"Are you serious?" A pair of clean, white puppy teeth appeared at the corner of Xiaodouding's mouth, her eyes filled with a dangerous glint.

Hearing Xiaodouding's words, Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly, simply walking into the courtyard and beckoning Cheng Yu with a hooked finger.

"Good kid, I now have to admire your courage. But since you dare to challenge Senior Sister, then I'll let you see Senior Sister's strength, so I can also give you a little lesson, lest you lose your life outside in the future."

Xiaodouding rolled up her sleeves and walked into the courtyard. The next moment, she leaped up like a cunning rabbit, pouncing towards Zhang Chen.

She had decided that she had to wake him up! To let him know what it means to be ignorant of one's own limitations.

Zhang Chen knew that Cheng Yu had already cultivated Transforming Force. Although her little fists didn't have much strength, the power penetrated deep into the bones. Breaking a person's tendons and meridians with one punch, or even killing someone by striking their acupoints, wouldn't be a problem.

Zhang Chen didn't dare to be careless. The ultrasonic function was activated, and all of Xiaodouding's movements, no matter how small, were reflected in Zhang Chen's mind.

Xiaodouding's wrist had only just lifted when Zhang Chen had already captured the other party's trajectory.

Now that he had captured the trajectory, was that considered prediction?

Based on the other party's speed and trajectory, Zhang Chen quickly deduced that this palm was aimed at his shoulder. As for whether she was using grappling techniques or boxing methods, or even the various changes involved, they were all meaningless to Zhang Chen at this moment.

Because Zhang Chen had the bloodline enhancement, as long as he activated his bloodline and increased his speed, his attack speed would be no slower than Xiaodouding's.

Zhang Chen moved his foot lightly, avoiding Xiaodouding's palm by a hair's breadth, and then punched towards Xiaodouding's shoulder.

"Eh, how can you see through my moves?" Xiaodouding exclaimed in surprise, but at this moment, her move was already too old, and she couldn't change or block it. She could only roll on the ground in a flurry, trying to avoid Zhang Chen's methods. However, how could Zhang Chen let Xiaodouding have her way?

Just as Xiaodouding was about to roll, the movements and muscle changes under her clothes were already reflected in Zhang Chen's mind. Then, Zhang Chen took a step ahead, directly grabbed Xiaodouding's shoulder, and lifted her up.

At this time, Xiaodouding didn't fight back. If she did, Zhang Chen was afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand the force and skills she had mastered. But at this time, the victory had already been decided, so what was the point of fighting back?

"Impossible! Again!" Xiaodouding struggled out of Zhang Chen's hand, and then once again adopted a fierce tiger stance, attacking Zhang Chen.

But no matter what your moves are, during the process of exerting force, the muscles will have undulations, and the concave and convex parts of the push will not be able to hide from the tracking of the ultrasound.

Just like when a person contracts their arm, the muscles on the arm will rise and fall accordingly.

No matter how Xiaodouding used her moves, or even how she played tricks and feints, they were all seen through by Zhang Chen at a glance.

Xiaodouding was not convinced. The two competed three times, and each time it ended with Xiaodouding being grabbed by the shoulder and lifted up by Zhang Chen. At this time, Xiaodouding looked at Zhang Chen with horror in her eyes, her big eyes revealing a ghostly look: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can all my moves be seen through by you? You anticipate the enemy's moves every time, how can this be?"

Even if she mastered more force and was more exquisite, wouldn't it be useless if she couldn't hit anyone?

"Seeing the divine and not being corrupted, the cicada is aware before the autumn wind moves. Could it be that you have the highest level of martial arts, spiritual induction?" Xiaodouding stared at Zhang Chen with her eyes wide open, her big eyes full of confusion: "It's unreasonable, how can you, with your personality of fishing for three days and drying the net for two, deserve to master the highest mysteries of martial arts?"

Seeing that the ultrasound had worked, Zhang Chen was originally very happy, but after hearing Xiaodouding's words, he immediately became unhappy, reaching out and pinching Xiaodouding's cheeks: "Unless you can violate the human body's mechanics and make actions that defy mechanics, otherwise you will never be able to defeat me in the future."

"From today onwards, I, Zhang Chen, am the number one master in the martial arts world, born to be invincible." Zhang Chen's voice was full of joy, he was smug and proud, very happy.

Xiaodouding's face suddenly drooped, and she felt as if the sky had collapsed: "Zhang Chen, I can't beat you now, don't you want to be my junior brother anymore?"

Looking at Xiaodouding's worried and sad face, Zhang Chen squatted down and hugged Cheng Yu in his arms, softly comforting: "How could that be? You are my senior sister, and you always will be."

"That's good, I'm relieved. You're so powerful now, I'll have to rely on you to protect me in the future." Xiaodouding blinked her big eyes, her eyes full of joy.

"By the way, how did you do it?" Xiaodouding asked.

"A natural ability," Zhang Chen said.

"It's really an amazing ability." Xiaodouding's voice was full of envy: "Martial artists cultivate bitterly for decades, but they are no match for your awakening in one morning. This ability is really terrifying."

"Martial arts is ultimately just the foundation. Transcending it is the real path to heaven, so you don't need to be so entangled." Zhang Chen smiled and stroked Xiaodouding's head.

Hearing this, Xiaodouding immediately smiled, nodding her head constantly: "That's right, I have also mastered a mysterious cultivation method. When I completely enter the mysterious realm in the future, I will definitely be able to restrain your bloodline power. At that time, you will definitely not be my opponent."

The two returned to the house and chatted for a while, and the day passed just like that. That night, Zhang Chen sent Xiaodouding upstairs, but when they reached the door on the second floor, Xiaodouding drove Zhang Chen down again, refusing to let Zhang Chen enter the house on the second floor.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen was a little curious about what was in Xiaodouding's room on the second floor. Cheng Yu was always mysterious and always kept him out, which really aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity.

Zhang Chen returned to his room with curiosity and began to ponder the changes in his own blood-colored crystal core. His own blood-colored crystal core was the most important thing. He hadn't studied it carefully since the changes that occurred in the Netherworld.

Zhang Chen's will descended on the blood-colored crystal core, and then passed through the endless sea of blood, directly descending on the eleventh-grade lotus platform.

He saw the blood-red lotus flower blooming with eleven grades, and there were thirty-six lotus seeds on the lotus platform, six of which were filled with blood, turning into blood springs that kept gushing out blood.

"This blood-red water flow is just ordinary water from the sea of blood, and it's useless. The only strange thing is, where does the water flow in this blood-red spring come from?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.

At this moment, his will touched the lotus platform, and a piece of information came from the darkness, making Zhang Chen suddenly understand. This blood-red lotus platform represented the destiny of the Blood Dao.

He himself had gathered 60% of the Blood Dao's destiny, and the remaining 40% had been scattered throughout the world by the previous congenital mosquito. It should have been obtained by destined creatures in the mortal world, who mastered the abilities evolved from the Great Dao of Blood. As long as he found them and killed them one by one, he could exclusively control the Blood Dao's destiny, achieving the great perfection of the twelve grades of lotus.

And those thirty-six blood-red lotus seeds represented the remaining 40% of the destiny. As he collected the destiny, the lotus seeds would transform into blood springs one by one. When the blood springs were completely transformed, he could use them to irrigate the twelfth-grade lotus flower.

"I have already grasped 60% of the Blood Dao's destiny, occupying a great advantage. However, destiny does not represent strength. That Mosquito Daoist scattered his Dao throughout the world, I wonder how many people have become powerful, and how many have obtained good fortune. It really ruined my good deeds and caused me countless troubles." Zhang Chen's heart was filled with resentment towards the congenital mosquito.

Then, Zhang Chen's gaze swept across the eleven petals of the lotus flower, and he saw that each of the eleven lotus petals was engraved with a chapter, and countless mysterious symbols flickered on the chapters.

Strangely enough, although they were blood-red lotus petals, the strange characters on them were cast in golden yellow.

"That chapter... seems to be an article, as if recording something, but I can't understand it." Zhang Chen looked at the golden-yellow characters, each the size of a tadpole, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Just as Zhang Chen was guessing what information the golden-yellow symbols recorded, in the next moment, he saw the golden-yellow runes flickering in bursts. The symbols seemed to come alive, and they drilled into his consciousness along Zhang Chen's gaze. Then, Zhang Chen instantly understood their meaning.

"This is actually a divine power born from the Great Dao of Blood?" Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with shock, and he looked at the eleven lotus petals with an expression of disbelief.

Eleven free divine powers were delivered to his door just like that?

In the chapter that Zhang Chen saw before his eyes, a unique method was recorded: Bloodline Rebirth.

As long as he gave birth to offspring, even if he was killed in the future, he could be reborn in the bloodline of his descendants, seizing the body of his bloodline offspring.

That meant that as long as he cultivated this divine power, he would have countless lives if he continued to have more children and create more people.

"It's just that this divine power is too evil, seizing one's own bloodline..." Zhang Chen pondered in silence. Could a person with normal thinking do this?

Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs!

However, if it was passed down for seven or eight generations, then there might not be any more feelings at that time. It should be about the same as a stranger. At that time, performing the technique of seizing the body might not be too difficult to accept.

"However, this divine power is too insidious, I'll put it aside for now. I'm not in a hurry right now." Zhang Chen turned his gaze to the second lotus petal.

He saw golden-yellow runes constantly flickering on the second lotus petal, reviving again like small tadpoles, drilling into Zhang Chen's consciousness. After a moment, Zhang Chen's face was full of surprise: "It's actually a formation, and a very extraordinary formation at that. This formation is called: Blood River Grand Formation. As long as the grand formation is set up, the Blood Sea can be summoned to descend into the human world, turning the human world into a polluted Blood Sea. The method can be said to be very vicious."

"This formation is not easy to refine."

Because the materials for refining the Blood River Grand Formation are extremely difficult to find, and it also requires filling it with human lives according to the level of the formation. Even the simplest first-order formation requires at least tens of thousands of human lives. Zhang Chen had never even heard of the other strange names of various creatures' bones, souls, and so on.

"I already have the Nine Curves Yellow River Talisman Formation, so to be honest, this Blood River Grand Formation is not very useful to me. But if I spread the Blood River Grand Formation, then someone in the world will definitely try to refine it. If they can successfully refine the Blood River Grand Formation, the Blood Sea in my crystal core can also descend into the world, creating a supreme Blood Sea world." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

This divine power is suitable for spreading out. Presumably, with the methods of those great forces and large families, they can refine the Blood River Grand Formation.

If someone refines the Blood River Grand Formation, he will also benefit from it.

At this time, Zhang Chen shifted his gaze to the third lotus petal, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. As countless golden-yellow runes wandered into Zhang Chen's consciousness like tadpoles, Zhang Chen carefully digested the methods within.

After a long time, a hint of disappointment appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes: "Blood Flame?"

Is this divine power strong? For some people, it's extremely strong. But for Zhang Chen, it's not very useful.

Blood Flame is a kind of evil flame. Once it is refined, it specializes in burning flesh and blood, turning the other party's flesh and blood into power to strengthen and feed back to oneself.

However, Zhang Chen has already mastered the Blood Sucking skill. If he wants to suck blood, he can directly use the Blood Sucking skill. Why bother burning with Blood Flame so troublesome?

However, the Blood Flame divine power still has some other mysteries. The more people you burn, the more powerful it becomes. In the end, even congenital creatures can be burned to death.

However, Zhang Chen shook his head after seeing this divine power. It was too time-consuming. With that time, he would have picked up skills and upgraded them with points.

Zhang Chen turned his gaze and looked at the next lotus petal. Then, another piece of information was poured into Zhang Chen's consciousness. This time, Zhang Chen pondered for a long time, but he still didn't open his eyes, as if he was deducing the key points within.

I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly, Cheng Yu's shouts came from his ear, calling Zhang Chen's consciousness awake: "Zhang Chen, it's time for morning class, don't delay anymore."

The little bean sprout's voice startled Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen opened his eyes upon hearing this, and listening to the bells in his ears, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Is it dawn? The night has passed so quickly."

Zhang Chen had no heart for morning class. After going to deal with it perfunctorily, he slowly returned to his small residence, thinking about the last divine power he had obtained:

"This divine power is a bit interesting, it's called: Blood God Child."
