High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Everything tempted him, and he could afford it all, but he only had 1.17 million. If he bought the S-grade items, he would only have a little over 100,000 left.

Moreover, even after purchasing S-rank combat skills and special abilities, you still need to spend kill points to increase their proficiency.

It's hard to say how much stronger an S-rank combat skill will be than an A-rank combat skill if you buy it but can't reach the Grandmaster level.

Song Chen finally settled on the pill category.

Heavenly Fate Blood Pill (S-grade): Greatly increases blood and qi values ​​after consumption; the specific increase depends on the user's constitution. Price: 50 kill points/pill.

S-grade pills.

Five hundred thousand per piece.

Song Chen stared at this option for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "This is it."

He pressed the buy button twice and bought two.

[Purchased 2 Heavenly Fate Blood Pills, consuming 100 million Kill Points.]

[Remaining kill points: 172341.]

Two golden lights shone in the system space, condensing into two pills the size of a thumb.

Song Chen took out the two pills and examined them carefully in his palm.

The Heavenly Mandate Blood Pill has an unremarkable appearance; it is dark red with a faint layer of golden patterns on its surface, resembling some kind of ancient rune.

The pill felt heavy in my hand, heavier than a piece of metal of the same volume.

He held it to his nose and smelled it; a rich medicinal fragrance rushed straight to the top of his head. Just from smelling it, his blood and qi began to circulate faster.

The S-grade pill truly lives up to its name.

Without hesitation, Song Chen put the first pill in his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The moment the pill entered my throat, it felt like a fire burning from my throat to my stomach.

An overwhelming surge of vital energy exploded within his body. The Heavenly Mandate Vital Energy Pill melted in his stomach, transforming into a golden stream of heat that spread along his meridians to his limbs and bones.

Wherever the heat flowed, his muscles trembled, his bones hummed, and his blood surged more than twice as fast in his veins.

Song Chen gritted his teeth, placed his hands on his knees, and bulged the veins on his forehead.

It was a feeling that was both painful and pleasurable, hard to describe.

His Qi and blood levels began to rise rapidly.

Five hundred and sixty, five hundred and eighty, six hundred...

The golden heat continued to flow, like a great river rushing through his veins.

Fine beads of blood seeped from the skin's surface; these were the marks left by ruptured capillaries that quickly healed.

Their breathing became heavy, and each exhale carried a hot white mist, raising the temperature inside the cave by several degrees.

This feeling was both painful and pleasurable. It was painful because his body was being forcibly modified, but pleasurable because he could clearly perceive himself becoming stronger.

It gets stronger every second.

Qi and blood are seven hundred.

The effects of the first Heavenly Mandate Blood Elixir have finally subsided.

Song Chen gasped for breath, looked down at his hands, clenched his fists, relaxed them, and then clenched them again.

The feeling of power travels from the fingertips to the wrist, from the wrist to the forearm, and from the forearm to the upper arm.

One S-grade Destiny Qi and Blood Pill increased my Qi and Blood by 200 points.

happy!

Song Chen did not rush to take the second pill, but instead allowed her body to rest for about half an hour.

After the medicinal effects of the first pill had completely settled and his meridians had adapted to the surge of qi and blood, he picked up the second pill and swallowed it.

The pain was less intense the second time than the first.

His body was much stronger than it had been half an hour ago. The resilience of his meridians, the endurance of his muscles, and the density of his bones had all increased significantly, making him able to withstand even more intense effects of the medicine.

The Qi and Blood value continued to rise.

730, 760, 820...

By the time the last trace of the second pill's medicinal power had seeped into his bloodstream, Song Chen was soaked in sweat, and the rock beneath him had been dried by his body heat.

He opened his eyes, and a flash of light appeared deep within his pupils—the radiance of spiritual energy that naturally overflowed after his blood and qi had reached their peak.

Song Chen raised his right hand, slowly clenched his fist, and it became much stronger.

He opened the system panel.

[Qi and Blood Value: 903 points.]

Song Chen stared at the number and smiled.

A smile spread from the corners of his mouth to his entire face, revealing two rows of white teeth.

He laughed out loud in the cave, the laughter echoing in the narrow space, carrying a kind of exhilarating release after being suppressed for a long time.

Nine hundred and three.

My blood and energy levels nearly doubled.

Nine hundred and three is already at the peak of the third tier, and he will soon reach the fourth tier.

His mental strength remained unchanged at 400, but given his current physical strength, the weakness in mental strength would not be a problem for the time being. His 900 health points meant that his close combat ability had reached the level of a fourth-tier martial artist.

Combined with the master-level Thunderous Annihilation Blade and the Nine Heavens Thunderous Power, its actual combat strength will be raised another level.

Song Chen stood up and stretched his body.

His movements were very light, but the rocks beneath his feet still made a faint cracking sound.

The surge in power is still not fully adapted to; even the slightest movement can unleash unexpected forces.

It will take him a few days to get used to this feeling, after which he will be able to control his strength as precisely as before.

He drew his Heavenly Blade and casually swung it.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, without being infused with vital energy or imbued with supernatural abilities; it was simply a pure swing of the blade.

But where the blade sliced ​​through, a visible white streak appeared in the air.

That's the mark left by the knife being cut too fast and with too much force, compressing the air to its limit.

Song Chen looked at the white mark, the smile on his lips still lingering.

"That dead octopus..."

He silently recalled the fifth-tier beast king that had chased him before, which had almost killed him in the sea.

When the tentacles lashed out, he couldn't even block them head-on; he could only dodge them with his agility.

Even with all my might, the slash only managed to leave a shallow mark on its tentacle.

In the end, they managed to blind one of its eyes by surprise and by fighting to the death.

What if we meet again?

Song Chen sheathed the Tianjun Blade and made a loose grip with his right hand.

Nine hundred points of Qi and Blood, Grandmaster-level Thunderous Annihilation Blade, Grandmaster-level Gale Wings, Nine Heavens Thunderclap, Illusionary Mystic Eyes.

If I were to encounter that octopus again, I would still be unable to defeat it in a head-on confrontation. There is a gap of two major levels, which cannot be bridged by the level of supernatural combat skills.

However, it won't just blind one eye anymore.

So they all have to go blind.

Song Chen sat back down on the rock wall, leaning against the cold rock, and let out a long breath.

Since the destruction of Yunbo Island, he has finally had a real chance to catch his breath.

The outcome of the battle between the teacher and the Giant Whale King is unknown, but with Zhou Wangyue's strength as a sixth-level Grandmaster, even if he can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

The teacher will probably come looking for me.

Song Chen closed her eyes and let her breathing gradually calm down.

Outside the cave, the waves crashed against the rocks, making a monotonous sound.

The psionic particles floated in the sunlight, refracting a light like scattered gold.

One hundred meters deep inside the cave entrance, a young man sat leaning against the rock wall, a slight smile on his lips, fast asleep.

On his chest, the blue crystal emitted a warm pulse, continuously repairing the last trace of hidden injury within his body.
