Chapter 638: Chapter 294 Insight (Please Subscribe)

Chu Xisheng looked at the illusory screen in front of him, his eyebrows tightly knitted into a ‘Sichuan’ character.

The Blood Essence Points had not increased at all.

The number on the screen was 2413, which appeared to be about thirty more than after he had slain Taishu Ba.

The problem was that he had just been in a major battle outside, sweeping through nearly eighty disciples from Blood Bat Mountain and the Supreme Profound Sect within dozens of breaths.

The increase in Blood Essence Points came from the onlookers nearby at that time.

Chu Xisheng soon had a realization in his heart.

These gods had already gauged his strength when they saw him slay Taishu Ba with that one strike.

Throughout, unless Chu Xisheng demonstrated new power, no matter how he showcased his divine might, it would not change these gods’ view of him, naturally resulting in no additional Blood Essence Points.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help clicking his tongue, knowing that if he wanted to fleece these gods of more, he’d have to wait until he advanced to the Sixth Grade.

Or possibly in the next combat challenge, using the power of his Vengeful Bloodline and the System’s Character Card.

He had recently drawn the “Qin Muge Sixth Grade Upper Character Card (Trial Version)” and the “Blood Revenge Blade Lord Sixth Grade Upper Character Card (Trial Version)”

Both cards were very expensive, having cost him a total of two hundred Blood Essence Points.

If he could demonstrate stronger power, it would change the gods’ perception of him.

The core of this system is “belief”; as long as these gods believed he possessed the strength of Sixth Grade Upper, they could grant him a large number of Blood Essence Points.

However, this was very risky.

Neither his own system nor the Vengeful Bloodline were things he wanted to expose to these ancient gods.

These ancient gods seemed lofty, not bothering with the mundane conflicts of mortals.

However, the Blood Revenge Blade Lord was no mere mortal.

At his peak, he was powerful enough to contend with the mightiest ‘Creators.’

His system was equally extraordinary, possessing all sorts of magical abilities.

Thus, both of these had to be carefully concealed from the ancient gods.

As for his deeds of slaying both Xuan Wushang and Taishu Ba, and his recent splendid victories, he could only look forward to the next issue of the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual.

The new issue of the Debating Martial Arts was already too late, just a few days away from being released.

Not right! Outside the Secret Realm, it would be released that very day.

The Debating Martial Arts Tower had already finalized and printed the Debating Martial Arts, and it was too late to make any changes.

The Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual being released a half month later might hold some promise.

Yet, half a month outside would be one hundred and eighty days inside the Secret Realm; Chu Xisheng would have to wait almost half a year in the Secret Realm.

Chu Xisheng then noticed that in his ‘status bar,’ the ‘Eye of Li Tan’ had changed to the ‘Door of Li Tan.’

Door of Li Tan—You have been favored by the ‘War God’ Li Tan, allowing any metal magic artifact or weapon used by you to further activate Geng Metal Energy, enhancing the divine might of the artifact by forty percent.

It also allows the use of Divine Grace to open the ‘Door of Li Tan’ temporarily borrowing any weapons of Fifth Grade or lower from the armory of the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers, or to deploy forty of the ‘Eight-Armed Bed Crossbows’ or one hundred of the ‘Nine-star’ projectiles, each with the strength of twenty oxen, to shoot simultaneously at the front,

A look of joy unwittingly spread across Chu Xisheng’s face.

He looked up and saw that Li Tan’s ‘Vertical Eye’ divine seal had indeed turned completely golden.

This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

The previous ‘Eye of Li Tan’ increased the divine might of metal magic artifacts by twenty percent, now it was forty percent.

The function of the ‘Door of Li Tan’ was also very practical; it meant he no longer had to carry spare weapons.

However, to be safe, carrying one extra was still optimal since divine powers are unreliable.

As all Jianghu people know, the power of the gods may be borrowed, but one should never depend on it.

As for the simultaneous firing of the ‘Eight-Armed Bed Crossbow’ and the ‘Nine-star,’ Chu Xisheng wasn’t too impressed.

He had the Divine Wind Bright Mirror Blade, and his Vengeful Blade Intent was also nearly advancing to the Twelve Layers, capable of facing thousands on the battlefield without fear of group fights. Only in extreme circumstances would he consider utilizing this function of the Door of Li Tan.

Chu Xisheng then began to inspect the spoils of war.

The body of Xuan Wushang had given him another great surprise.

It was a pair of half-metal, half-leather war boots, of Fifth Grade Lower, which could greatly enhance the powers of ‘Time Order’ and ‘Void,’ significantly increasing movement technique speed, and could also enhance Chu Xisheng’s ‘Time Instant Shadow Body’ talent by one tier, as well as bolster the effect of ‘Timeless Moment.’

Crucially, these war boots were not a demon artifact.

It was likely that Xuan Wushang had only acquired them recently and hadn’t had time to perform a blood sacrifice to enhance them.

Chu Xisheng was currently wearing the ‘Wind Thunder Boots’ obtained from the Coastal Nine-Grade Secret Realm,

Although their rank was only Seventh Grade Lower, they were personally crafted by the Divine Turtle Wanderer and were more useful than many Sixth Grade Upper magic artifacts, and particularly well-suited for him.

Chu Xisheng had not encountered any suitable footwear magic artifact, so he had not switched them out.

Xuan Wushang’s boots, however, were several level stronger than the Wind Thunder Boots and perfectly matched his Martial Arts and ‘Time Instant Shadow Body’ talent.

Chu Xisheng, without hesitation, took off the boots and fitted them onto his feet.

Although they were second-hand goods previously worn by another, and shoes of a dead man, these were a magic artifact that could enhance his combat capability, and that wasn’t shabby at all.

Chu Xisheng found the shoes quite a good fit, with nothing uncomfortable about them.

Just as he put on the shoes, Chu Xisheng noticed his Blood Essence Points had increased by fifty-five, reaching 2468.

At this sight, Chu Xisheng’s eyebrows slightly lifted.
