18: Sensor Tracking

"If I detonate the Blood Seal now... they will undoubtedly be severely injured by me in this completely unguarded state!"

Xiao Shi made a judgment in his heart.

"Besides detonating it, I can also use the Blood Seal to give them a boost..."

Xiao Shi tried to activate the Blood Seal.

Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan were drinking happily.

Suddenly, they froze.

"Junior Brother Xiao, can your wine… also boost qi and blood? Why do I feel like my qi and blood are more abundant than usual right now???"

Yang Zhen looked at Xiao Shi, full of confusion.

"I... I am too!"

Wang Changhuan also looked surprised.

"I don't know... I'm drinking it too, why haven't I gotten a boost?"

Xiao Shi looked at the two of them, bewildered.

However, in his heart, he had a general understanding of the direction in which the Blood Seal could provide a boost.

The Blood Seal was different from the previous metal seal.

If it were a metal seal, Xiao Shi felt that their bodies might temporarily metalize.

The boost brought by the Blood Seal, however, manifested in terms of qi and blood.

To avoid making too much of a stir, Xiao Shi only activated a small portion of the Blood Seal's boost.

If the entire Blood Seal were activated... their qi and blood would reach an even more astonishing level!

Besides that.

Xiao Shi also made an unexpected discovery.

After he left the Blood Seal on the two of them, he found that he also gained a special sense.

While the two of them were focused on their boosted qi and blood, Xiao Shi closed his eyes.

Through his control of the Blood Seal... he could directly sense their every move in his mind!

Their figures appeared in his mind; even with his eyes closed, he could see every action they made!

"It even has this effect!"

Xiao Shi was greatly surprised by this.

He found an excuse to leave and went to a location farther away from the two of them.

He found that even at a distance, he could still sense their location and see their actions in his mind.

"As expected of a Heaven-Rank Secret Technique!!"

"This is too powerful!!"

Xiao Shi exclaimed in his heart.

He hadn't expected that in addition to boosting and detonating, the Blood Seal also had another function... sensory tracking!

And it was quite powerful sensory tracking!

However, Xiao Shi felt that this sensory tracking should have a distance limit, and he planned to first test the maximum range of the sensing.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi kept walking further away.

When he was about three li away from Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan, he started to lose the sensation.

"The maximum distance is three li!"

"If it exceeds the three-li range, I won't be able to sense them."

Xiao Shi understood in his heart.

This distance was not far.

But if it were to be used for assassination or something similar, it would be enough.

However, to leave an undetectable Blood Seal on an enemy, it could only be a Blood Seal.

And forming a Blood Seal with one's own qi and blood had a drawback... it would continuously deplete Xiao Shi's qi and blood.

Every time Xiao Shi formed a Blood Seal, a portion of his own qi and blood would decrease.

Once too many Blood Seals were formed, he would likely suffer a drop in cultivation due to the significant reduction of qi and blood!

Additionally, the Blood Seal also had a certain time limit.

Even when not activated, it could only last for a maximum of one day.

It would not exist permanently.

If activated, the duration would be even shorter.

As soon as the time was up, the Blood Seal would dissipate.

Although there were these minor flaws, it did not affect the power of this Secret Skill.

And with this powerful Heaven-Rank Secret Technique... Xiao Shi also gained some confidence in the upcoming Night Watch mission.

It was a pity that there were no more prisoners to kill in the jail.

The disposal rights for the remaining prisoners were all in the hands of the Night Watch who captured them, and those Night Watch were still out on missions, so they couldn't get the disposal rights.

As night fell.

The time came to the last night before the mission.

The Night Watch in their respective rooms all seized the last moment to cultivate Night Tiger, hoping to master Night Tiger at the last minute.

Xiao Shi was also immersed in the cultivation of Night Tiger.

But unlike the other Night Watch... he was cultivating the more difficult second layer of Night Tiger.

"I hope to master the second layer of Night Tiger today!"

Xiao Shi's expression was serious.

He performed the unique Heavenly Cycle circulation of Night Tiger again and again.

Both Night Tiger and Crimson Tiger Art had certain requirements for one's aptitude; the higher the aptitude, the faster the cultivation.

However, the difficulty of cultivating Night Tiger meant that even with Xiao Shi's high aptitude, he couldn't speed it up much.

Or, from another perspective... his current cultivation speed was already very fast compared to others.

"Unless my aptitude can be raised to an even higher level!"

Xiao Shi felt that if he could still obtain aptitude-boosting pills, and continuously accumulate them, his cultivation would undoubtedly be faster in the future.

However, killing in the Entering Martial Realm... it was difficult to kill in large numbers every day like killing Spotted Bugs.

Shaking his head, Xiao Shi stopped thinking and seriously cultivated Night Tiger.

The night passed quickly.

With the arrival of morning.

Even if everyone was unwilling in their hearts, they all had to stop cultivating.

They all walked out of their rooms.

A light rain was falling from the sky, and everyone put on their bamboo hats; the faces beneath the hats mostly showed solemnity.

The difficulty of Night Tiger meant that none of them had successfully cultivated it.

Even the fastest among them would still need one or two more nights to have a chance to master Night Tiger.

This made them all feel heavy-hearted.

They could only hope that they wouldn't receive too difficult a mission next.

When all of them had gathered.

Team Leader Ding, with his Slit-Eyes, then appeared before everyone, a familiar smile on his face, and after glancing around at everyone, he spoke.

"Today is when you officially begin your Night Watch missions, and it will also determine whether you are competent for the position of Night Watch..."

"As long as you successfully complete the mission, you will receive corresponding contribution points."

"And contribution points will be the key to whether you can be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple three years from now."

"Alright, no more idle talk, I will now begin to assign your missions."

As Team Leader Ding spoke.

Everyone became nervous.

No one wanted to receive the most difficult mission.

Team Leader Ding took out his identity token, and after some operations on the token, he looked up and said.

"Alright, the missions have been assigned. You now just need to check your respective missions through your identity tokens."

As soon as Team Leader Ding finished speaking.

Everyone took out their identity tokens to check.

Xiao Shi was no exception.

He immediately took out his token to check the mission.
