System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Yi Sa, let the ship stay on the sea for a while."

"Ok."

Although Yi Sa didn't know Zhang Hao's purpose, she wouldn't say much as long as it was his request, and just carried out the order accordingly.

Zhang Hao merged with the rare item, the Iris Ring, and gained the ability to suck blood.

The ability to suck blood can be used to evolve the Qilin bloodline, so he decided to dive into the sea to test the effect of this ability. Ideally, he would evolve the Qilin bloodline to the point where he could open the bronze chest before returning to the mainland.

So he went to Yi Sa and asked her to make the arrangements.

Once the boat stopped, Zhang Hao jumped into the sea with a splash, looking for marine life to suck his blood.

As soon as he entered the sea, a small shark more than two meters long swam over to him.

Zhang Hao pushed off with his feet and shot forward like a cannonball. As soon as he got close, he reached out and touched the shark, then activated his blood-sucking ability with a thought.

In an instant, a once vibrant shark shrank and lost all its life.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding, bloodline evolution progress +0.1.]

"Ok?"

A single shark only adds 0.1 points to bloodline evolution progress? That's way too easy.

There are countless giant creatures in the ocean, some of which are dozens or even hundreds of times the size of this shark. Wouldn't the effect of sucking blood from them be dozens or even hundreds of times greater?

This method is much more effective than fusing items for improvement.

However, since large marine life is all in the deep sea, Zhang Hao dived into the deep sea without thinking twice.

Zhang Hao was filled with anticipation and determination, knowing that countless unknowns and opportunities lay hidden in the vast ocean.

As he continued to dive deeper into the sea, the surrounding light gradually dimmed and the water pressure increased, but none of this could stop his progress.

The scenery of the deep sea is breathtaking, with all sorts of strange creatures moving through the undercurrents, some emitting a faint glow, like stars in the night sky.

Some hide in the darkness, silently waiting for their prey to arrive.

Zhang Hao swam cautiously, using his senses to find a suitable target.

Soon, he discovered a colossal deep-sea monster, a giant octopus tens of meters long, whose tentacles were as hard as steel and shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

Zhang Hao knew that such creatures not only had abundant blood, but the power contained in their blood was also far beyond that of ordinary marine life.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then suddenly accelerated, like a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards the giant octopus.

In the instant he approached, he deftly dodged the octopus's tentacle attack, and simultaneously stretched out his hands, accurately pressing them onto the octopus's body.

With a thought, the ability to suck blood was activated once again.

Zhang Hao's hands seemed to transform into invisible straws, frantically sucking the blood from the octopus's body.

The octopus let out a deafening roar and struggled desperately, but the disparity in strength was too great, and it could only watch helplessly as its life force was slowly drained away.

As blood was lost, the octopus's body began to rapidly shrivel, eventually collapsing limply on the seabed.

Zhang Hao felt powerful energies surging into his body, and the evolution of his Qilin bloodline accelerated rapidly.

[Ding! Bloodline evolution progress +10!]

This number thrilled Zhang Hao, who realized his guess was correct.

Sucking blood from large marine creatures not only grants greater progress in bloodline evolution, but also has effects far exceeding those of fusing with ordinary items.

He looked around and discovered that there were many more powerful creatures in the deep sea waiting for his challenge.

So he plunged deeper into the darkness once more, heading toward even more powerful creatures, beginning his deep-sea adventure.

As Zhang Hao's adventures in the deep sea deepened, his heart was filled with curiosity about the unknown and a desire for power.

Every encounter with powerful marine creatures made his blood boil, as if each time he drank blood was a breakthrough to his own limits.

As he continued to explore the depths of the sea, the creatures he encountered became increasingly strange and powerful.

Some creatures have transparent bodies, allowing them to cleverly hide in their surroundings;

Some are covered in hard shells, which even Zhang Hao's full-force attack could not budge them in the slightest.

But with his keen perception and tireless efforts, he overcame these difficulties one by one, drawing precious bloodline power from them.

Each time he successfully absorbed blood, Zhang Hao could feel the Qilin bloodline surging and strengthening within his body.

That power seemed to have a life of its own, flowing through his meridians, constantly nourishing his body and enhancing his strength.

He knew that if he continued like this, it wouldn't be long before he could evolve the Qilin bloodline to level 9.

However, adventures in the deep sea are not without risks.

Besides those powerful creatures, Zhang Hao also faces unpredictable ocean currents, sudden undercurrents and whirlpools, and unknown dangers.

But he never backed down, because he knew that only by bravely facing these challenges could he become stronger.

Through repeated life-or-death struggles, Zhang Hao's will became more resolute, and his skills became more refined.

He learned how to better utilize his blood-sucking ability and how to find and defeat target creatures in the shortest amount of time.

At the same time, he also began to try to combine his vampiric abilities with his other skills to create a more powerful fighting style.

It's only been about two hours since Zhang Hao went into the sea, and his Qilin bloodline evolution progress has already exceeded 200 points. At this rate, his Qilin bloodline will advance in just over ten hours.

Without much thought, he began his dive to deeper into the ocean to search for even more powerful marine life.

As time goes by, Zhang Hao's deep-sea adventure becomes increasingly thrilling.

He seemed to transform into a conqueror of the ocean, traversing the underwater world where the unknown and danger coexisted, each breath filled with a pursuit of power and a yearning for the unknown.

As Zhang Hao dived deeper into the ocean, the surrounding light almost completely disappeared, but fortunately he had night vision, so it had no effect on him.

The increased water pressure did not pose any further difficulties for him; with his diamond-hard body, he could move freely even to the deeper parts of the ocean.

Suddenly, a huge dark shadow appeared in front of him.

The moment the shadow appeared, Zhang Hao's body gave him a warning.

This was unprecedented. Zhang Hao understood that the dark figure must be an extremely terrifying being, otherwise his body would not have issued any warnings of danger.
