Chapter 326: Chapter 162: Blood Test_1

"Ahh——" The ear-piercing wail startled Long Dangdang into taking two steps back. He then saw Long Kongkong, who was soaking in the tub, shaking violently as if having a fit. His skin rapidly turned red, even his pupils began to contract, his breath quickened dramatically, and his vital signs started veering off.

This didn’t match the normal cultivation state described in the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique at all. Even if it were painful, it shouldn’t be such a convulsive state akin to shock.

Long Dangdang didn’t dare to hesitate. He rushed over to the tub in one stride and pulled Long Kongkong out.

To the touch, Long Kongkong’s skin was burning hot, as if all the qi and blood in his body were churning. His spiritual power was uncontrollably quaking. When he glanced at the bathtub, the blood within had become black in such a short period of time, giving off a decaying feel, with no signs of life left in the magical beast blood.

Long Dangdang quickly turned on the faucet and rinsed off the residue blood on Long Kongkong, whose burning sensation finally began to diminish. He started to heave deeply and his consciousness returned rapidly.

"Mother... it hurts like hell. What the hell is this..." Long Kongkong cried out, gasping for breath.

Long Dangdang hurriedly cast Divine Blessing on his brother to soothe his torment, physical and mental. With his help, Long Kongkong finally recuperated a bit and flopped onto the ground. "I’ve been had. Completely tricked. It’s so painful it’s going to kill me."

Long Dangdang was also surprised, "Did you feel any changes in your body?"

Long Kongkong replied irritably, "I just felt the power of the blood entering my body through my pores, just like the blood of the earth fire lizard before. But this time my own bloodline power seemed to rebel instantly, and my spiritual power couldn’t control it and just erupted outward. That feeling triggered when it erupted, it was like my own body was going to burst, the sort of ripping pain. And then this happened. I didn’t absorb any power at all!"

This can’t be. It’s not at all like what the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique described. It was a strong rejection reaction instead.

And indeed, the blood of the iron-mane lion didn’t help the cultivation at all, but made Long Kongkong’s outer spiritual power drop by five points, which brought him to tears.

Both brothers looked at each other. What was supposed to be a perfect plan now felt like a smash on the head, back to square one.

"Only the blood of an earth fire lizard will do?" After resting for nearly fifteen minutes, Long Kongkong had mostly recuperated, but his face was still somewhat pale.

Long Dangdang furrowed his brows and said, "It’s weird, the reactions to the two types of blood is too different." He had just tried a drop of the iron-mane lion’s blood on his own palm and began to cycle the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. The intense pain felt as if his hands were being burned by a red-hot iron. This pain was internal, and the extreme rejection caused that drop of iron-mane lion’s blood to lose its vitality.

"Brother, do we continue?" Long Kongkong looked at Long Dangdang pitifully.

Long Dangdang nodded and said, "Let’s try again. We can’t just give up this technique because of one kind of blood. I’ll try. We’ll forgo the soaking and just test our tolerance with a small amount of blood."

Long Kongkong shivered, "Brother, be careful. This isn’t a joke. I really felt like I was going to kill myself."

Long Dangdang replied with annoyance, "Don’t exaggerate. The problem was that you were too relaxed and ill-prepared, which led to this situation. If you had maintained a spiritual power shielding and reacted immediately instead of accepting it completely once things went south, this wouldn’t have happened."

Long Kongkong coughed a little, "Well, my previous experiences had been too sweet, hadn’t they? Go ahead, you try. I’m going to go back and rest. I’ll go to the rib shop later. Let’s talk more when I get back tonight. And don’t you dare soak! There’s no one around to protect you, so just try a little."

"Sure, you go. I’ll try slowly by myself, there won’t be any risk," Long Dangdang said. Whether the blood would bring pain could be sensed with just a bit of body contact. However, this wasn’t mentioned in the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. It seems like you’re supposed to perceive the situation after dilution and soaking according to the technique record. This point was different for both he and Kongkong. It seems that his and his brother’s constitution are indeed different, at least different from the predecessor who created this technique.

Long Kongkong returned to the dormitory for rest. Looking at the remaining ten bottles of blood in front of him, Long Dangdang first channeled his spiritual power to adjust his condition to an optimal state, before picking up the second type of magical beast blood.

The silverback demonic ape, renowned for its strength, was a Level 6 magical beast equivalent to the strength of a 5th Rank professionist. It had a perfect blend of speed and power. A mature silverback demonic ape’s strength could even reach Level 8. This one was only Level 6, probably a weaker one at a juvenile stage.

Long Dangdang carefully opened the cap of the ceramic bottle. He dripped a bit of the blood onto the palm of his hand, then started to channel his spiritual power and activate the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique for a try.
