234: Chapter 234 Shocking!

The moment this Blood Gang formed, Qin Yan's entire Aura underwent a drastic change.

Previously, his blood qi was vast like a smelting furnace; now, it was sharp and imposing, carrying an invincible sharpness and sense of pressure.

Above the spear tip, the sharp Spear Light, originally four feet long, still existed, with forty-eight light-gold Spear Auras dancing around it.

And now, at the very tip of this Spear Light, the newly formed Blood Gang burned quietly like the finishing touch, exuding a terrifying Aura that made hearts palpitate.

Blood Gang! The hallmark of a Third-Rank Peak Martial Artist!

With the Blood Gang formed, Qin Yan took the Opportunity to test his spear.

"Whoosh—Crack!"

The long spear merely swept out casually, without channeling his full strength, yet a sharp sonic boom instantly erupted!

Wherever the spear edge passed, the air seemed to be sliced apart by a tangible sharp blade, letting out a mournful shriek and leaving behind a brief, clear white vapor trail.

A gust of wind swept through the quiet room, causing the lamp flame to sway violently, and the shadows on the wall to dance wildly.

With just a casual test, the power was already far beyond what it was before!

A moment later, Qin Yan slowly retracted his spear. The surging blood qi and terrifying might around him receded like a tide, all retracting into his body.

He stood still, carefully savoring the earth-shattering changes within his body.

The speed of his flowing blood seemed to slow down, but every drop of blood was heavier and purer.

A feeling of harmony, fullness, and immense power filled his heart.

"Third-Rank Peak, achieved!"

With a thought, he opened his panel to check:

[Rank: Third-Rank Peak]

[Blood Refining: Gang Blood Realm (blood qi Manifests as Gang)]

[blood qi: 1665 Cards]

[Mental Energy: 76 Hertz]

[Martial Skill: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Blood Refining Chapter Eighth Revolution (31%)]

[Spear Technique: fourth stage (30%)]

[Alchemy: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)]

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Mental Energy 70 Hertz Unlock)

[Skill Points: 0 Points]

[Note: As long as you work hard, you will have rewards]

"The Rank column has already changed to 'Third-Rank Peak,' and the Blood Refining Realm is clearly marked as 'Gang Blood Realm (blood qi Manifests as Gang),' which is a qualitative leap.

The blood qi value reached 1665 Cards after the Breakthrough, and his Mental Energy increased to 76 Hertz.

Over the past few days, he had invested the 40 Skill Points accumulated in one day into refining his 'Spear Technique.'

This caused its progress to jump to 30%, and the length of his Spear Light also reached four feet, greatly increasing its power.

"blood qi reached 1665 Cards, and I successfully condensed one Blood Gang," Qin Yan calculated silently, "According to the rule for condensing Blood Gangs, on average, every 1000 Cards of blood qi can stably condense and maintain one Blood Gang.

My current 1665 Cards of blood qi means I am still a distance away from two Blood Gangs."

He recalled the knowledge about 'Blood Gangs.'

The condensation of a Blood Gang is directly linked to the total amount of a Martial Artist's blood qi and follows a relatively fixed ratio.

Generally, only after accumulating and refining approximately 1000 Cards of blood qi can one nurture and temper a Blood Gang from the Origin of blood qi.

Therefore, his current 1665 Cards of blood qi theoretically corresponds to one Blood Gang.

The Blood Gang is a unique offensive method of a Third-Rank Peak Martial Artist, a product of extremely condensed and qualitatively transformed blood qi.

When one Blood Gang erupts, the destructive power it generates is roughly equivalent to an attack of 100 Cards of blood qi.

More importantly, the Blood Gang is an explosive Move with great potential for growth.

The stronger a Martial Artist's strength and the greater their total blood qi, the more Blood Gangs they can condense and maintain.

Those legendary, world-shaking super experts could summon seas of Blood Gangs with every Move.

Thousands erupting simultaneously, covering the sky and earth, making the destruction of cities and mountains trivial.

Even top experts could combine the True Qi they cultivated with their Blood Gangs.

Forming a 'Variant Blood Gang' with even more terrifying power and bizarre characteristics.

The might of that level is often described in ancient texts as 'destroying heaven and earth.'

That kind of scene was still too distant for the current Qin Yan; he could only yearn for it.

Suppressing the slight agitation arising from his Breakthrough and the infinite yearning for future power, Qin Yan pulled his thoughts back to reality.

Breaking through to Third-Rank Peak and condensing a Blood Gang was just a new starting point, far from the end.

"Next, I must charge towards the 'Third Grade Limit.'"

"One of my biggest current advantages is that the progress in cultivating the Body Tempering Martial Art, 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear,' far surpasses my peers.'"

"To reach the Third Grade Limit, one must Cultivate a top grade Body Tempering Martial Art to the Perfection Realm. And I am already at the forefront."

The 31% progress in the Eighth Revolution meant that although he was still some distance from the Ninth Revolution Perfection, the path was clear, and hope lay ahead.

According to the data he had previously reviewed about the Hidden Dragon Assembly, looking across the entire Eternal Song Star Realm.

The number of Prodigies who reached the 'Third Grade Limit' under the age of twenty in previous years was extremely small, countable on two hands.

Moreover, these people often only managed to break through after countless trials and Opportunities in the middle or even later stages of the Hidden Dragon Assembly.

Those who were already at the Third Grade Limit at the start of the Assembly were rarer than phoenix feathers and rare birds; not every session produced even one.

"In other words, with my current Third-Rank Peak cultivation, combined with my combat ability... I have firmly placed myself among the absolute top tier of the young geniuses in this session of the Eternal Song Star Realm!"

Qin Yan had a clear understanding of his current standing.

This was not arrogance, but a calm judgment based on the comparison of information and strength.

The Hidden Dragon Assembly had not officially begun; the real top-tier clashes had yet to arrive.

But Qin Yan had already won enough bargaining chips and a high platform for himself.

There were still strong enemies ahead, such as the rumored first Prodigy of Xiguang City, Tian Chen, who had already broken through to Third-Rank Peak, and the 'monsters' from other top territories and races who had yet to show themselves.

But at this moment, Qin Yan's heart was filled with soaring fighting spirit and firm confidence.

"Once I truly step into the Third Grade Limit... only then will this so-called 'Hidden Dragon Assembly' truly become interesting."

...

April 5th.

Qin Yan's figure appeared punctually in the increasingly bustling Martial Arts Estate.

He had to fleece the daily yield of two drops of grandmaster true blood.

Without excessive observation, he leaped directly onto a Fighting Arena that had just become vacant.

Today's opponent was an Elf Clan Prodigy from a large territory, whose cultivation was firmly established at the third grade late stage.

He held a thick wooden shield engraved with vine patterns, clearly prepared to face a strong enemy.

However, the progression of the battle was still faster than many had anticipated.

Just as Qin Yan's spear tip was about to touch the shield surface, a blood qi power far more vigorous and domineering than before erupted!

A muffled "Dong!" sound occurred.

The wooden shield in the Elf Prodigy's hand, renowned for its toughness, already showed a clear dent and crack!

The entire person was knocked unconscious by the immense force on the long spear.

One Move, still nearly crushing, one Move.

But this time, the power suppression Qin Yan displayed was even more terrifying!
