216: Techniques and Body Movements

When the [corpse of a dong kui clansman] dropped upon a kill, Xiao Shi already realized from the description that the Dong Kui Clan was an extraordinary Body Refining clan.

But he hadn't expected... the Dong Kui Bloodline to be this powerful!

One must know.

Among the top ten Bloodlines in the [bloodline manual], all were Bloodlines that could not be passed down through descendants.

Only the Martial Emperor Bloodline allowed descendants to inherit a weak trace.

The rest were unique in the world.

And they were all extinct!

It could be said.

The Dong Kui Bloodline was the only clan Legacy Bloodline among the top ten!

Xiao Shi understood the significance of this.

He carefully checked the description of the Dong Kui Bloodline.

The Dong Kui Clan, possessing the Dong Kui Bloodline, were born with powerful Kui Bodies.

The Kui Body not only allowed the Physical Body of a Dong Kui Clansman to remain immortal after death.

It also provided different enhancements at each stage.

For example, in the Entering Martial Realm, the Kui Body's vitality was vigorous, and its strength was immense.

In the Qi Martial Realm, the Kui Body allowed the frame to grow larger and strength to explode.

And in the Blood Martial Realm, with the Awakening of the Bloodline, the Kui Body could even unlock a powerful combat form!

In the Martial Soul Realm, there would be additional enhancements.

Almost every Realm brought changes and enhancements.

And the higher the Realm, the greater the enhancement!

In the lower three Realms, the Kui Body was still in its foundational stage, and its true power could not yet be displayed.

Only in the middle three Realms would the Kui Body truly begin to show its edge!

Although Xiao Shi now controlled this [corpse of a dong kui clansman] with his consciousness and Soul, he couldn't use the power of its Bloodline.

This meant he could currently only exert less than thirty percent of the corpse's power.

More than half of its power was still unavailable to him.

But now... Xiao Shi's eyes shone.

He couldn't gain a deep understanding of the Bloodlines listed earlier.

But for the current Dong Kui Bloodline, he could conduct a deep-level inspection!

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi raised his finger.

Chii!

A drop of blood immediately flew from his fingertip.

It merged directly into the [bloodline manual].

Causing the [bloodline manual] to ripple like water, forming a brand-new page.

This page recorded deep-level information about the Dong Kui Bloodline.

This included... the application of the Dong Kui Bloodline!

Xiao Shi felt a surge of excitement.

He thought that exchanging for this [bloodline manual] was definitely worth it!

Without the [bloodline manual], he would have had no way to master the application of the Dong Kui Bloodline.

After all, the Dong Kui Clan had long since ceased to exist.

This was the last corpse of a dong kui clansman!

Without this corpse, the Dong Kui Bloodline would likely have gone extinct from the Tianwu Continent like those Bloodlines before it.

Now, as long as Xiao Shi mastered the method of applying the Dong Kui Bloodline, he could unleash one hundred percent of this corpse's combat power!

However, Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to master it immediately.

He planned to study it after leaving the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

After all, it would take time.

He continued to flip through the Bloodlines behind it.

When he saw the Bloodline ranked thirtieth.

His mind was shaken once again.

The Bloodline ranked thirtieth was none other than... the Red Tiger Bloodline!!

"Is this Red Tiger Bloodline just a coincidence in name?"

Xiao Shi frowned slightly.

After all, given his mastery of the Crimson Tiger Totem, if it could form a Body Refining Bloodline, it was impossible for him not to know.

But from start to finish, he hadn't received any information about a Body Refining Bloodline from the Crimson Tiger Totem.

He felt that this Red Tiger Bloodline was likely just similar in name and not related to his lineage.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi carefully checked the introduction of the Red Tiger Bloodline.

"The Red Tiger Bloodline is a unique Bloodline originating from the Crimson Tiger Lineage of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect!"

"This Bloodline is not only a Body Refining Bloodline but also a faction Bloodline."

"Only those of the Crimson Tiger Lineage can form the Red Tiger Bloodline."

"This Bloodline is quite mysterious; it has different effects on different people. It is believed that only those of the Crimson Tiger Lineage will have a sufficient understanding of it."

After reading the introduction.

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

"Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect?"

He muttered the name.

Before this.

He had never heard of such an organization.

Since there was too little information, he couldn't determine if this Red Tiger Bloodline was indeed his lineage.

And the best way to verify it.

Was to use a drop of blood from his main body to see if he could unlock the deep-level information of the Red Tiger Bloodline.

If it could be unlocked, it would mean this Red Tiger Bloodline was indeed his lineage.

If it couldn't, then it was just a similarity in name, with no actual connection between the two.

However.

This would have to wait until he left this Realm to be verified.

After all, it required his main body for verification.

Xiao Shi continued to look down.

Soon, he focused on the Bloodline ranked 148th.

Vajra Bloodline!

Through the introduction of this Bloodline.

He realized that this Bloodline was the follow-up to the Invincible Vajra Body he had formed during the Qi Martial Realm.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the method to form this Bloodline.

He could only stay at the level of the Invincible Vajra Body of the Qi Martial Realm.

But now that he had the [bloodline manual], once he went out, he could use his own blood to see more information about the Vajra Bloodline. At that time, he might know how to form it!

The [bloodline manual] recorded tens of thousands of different Bloodlines.

Xiao Shi couldn't read them all at once.

After briefly looking at the top three hundred Bloodlines, he stopped looking further.

He went directly to the third floor of the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

He began to use the [white treasure token] in his hand to exchange for Blood Martial Realm items.

Although Xiao Shi hadn't found any items among those listed that only he could open and others couldn't.

He thought of the heavenly secret box in his hand!

He wondered if the heavenly secret box in his hand might have such a function.

After all, this heavenly secret box was different from other heavenly secret boxes.

As long as he locked it... it would be difficult for others to open it!

This also meant he didn't have to worry about being unable to take the items away after exchanging for them.

Later, he just needed to put these items into the heavenly secret box.

Then instruct Wu Muzhen to take this heavenly secret box out.

Originally, according to Xiao Shi's previous plan, for these Blood Martial Realm items, he intended to exchange for some key items that could form Bloodlines.

But now that he had a better understanding of Bloodlines.

He felt he needed to make some adjustments.

For instance, the [mo chen blood] he saw earlier was completely unnecessary to exchange for.

After all, the Mochen Bloodline formed by [mo chen blood] was ranked well beyond three hundred. Not to mention comparing it to the Dong Kui Bloodline, it was even far inferior to the Vajra Bloodline.

According to Xiao Shi's current thoughts.

Knowing the power of the Dong Kui Bloodline, he felt that even if he couldn't keep this corpse, he had to find a way to preserve its Bloodline and take it out.

If his main body could form the Dong Kui Bloodline, that would naturally be the best situation!

If not, he would develop toward the Vajra Bloodline.

Since he couldn't be sure about the Red Tiger Bloodline, he could only refrain from making arrangements for now.

"This way, I don't have to worry too much about Bloodlines. I just need to exchange for some Materials that aren't available outside."

"The focus is still on those Body Refining techniques and movement techniques."

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi walked straight to a powerful technique he had set his sights on earlier.

[Name: Grip of Mutual Shattering]

[Type: Technique]

[Rank: Blood Martial Grade]

[Description: A Blood Martial Grade item from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.]

[Note 1: When used, it can form a terrifying grip several times beyond one's own strength!]

[Note 2: To Cultivate this technique, one must have a sufficiently strong Physical Body. Since this technique generates power several times beyond one's own, it not only unleashes power far exceeding normal states but also causes significant damage to one's own body.]

[Note 3: Mutual Shattering means shattering together with the opponent. This technique is one that kills a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one's own.]

Exchange condition: 200 white treasure tokens... This technique was extremely suitable for the current Xiao Shi.

After all, his corpse did not fear injury!

This kind of technique that enhanced lethality at the cost of self-damage was perfect for him.

Xiao Shi decisively made the exchange.

Then he went to another movement technique.

[Name: Tremor Origin Step]

[Type: Movement Technique]

[Rank: Blood Martial Grade]

[Description: A Blood Martial Grade item from the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.]

[Note 1: When performed, it creates powerful shockwaves through special vibrations of the flesh and bones in the steps. The stronger the Physical Body, the greater the power of the shockwaves!]

[Note 2: This is a movement technique that combines speed and lethality, with lethality being even greater than speed.]

Exchange condition: 200 white treasure tokens... Xiao Shi did not choose a movement technique biased toward speed.

Instead, he chose a movement technique biased toward lethality.

On one hand, such movement techniques were relatively rare.

On the other hand, he felt that what he currently lacked was mainly lethality.

He believed that the coordination of this technique and movement technique would surely increase his strength greatly, thereby making up for his lack of lethality.

As for weapons.

Xiao Shi thought for a moment.

He did not make an exchange.

It wasn't because he was worried about being unable to take them away.

Rather, he felt that the technique he had chosen could not be performed through weapons. Additionally, after exchanging for the technique and movement technique, the remaining [white treasure tokens] in his hand were not many.

Next, he still needed to exchange for some Materials to form Bloodlines.

So he gave up on exchanging for weapons.

He exchanged all the remaining [white treasure tokens] for important Materials to form Bloodlines.

Most of these Materials were unique to this Realm.

They were basically nowhere to be found outside.

With these Materials, whether he formed the Dong Kui Bloodline or the Vajra Bloodline later, he would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just like that.

The [white treasure tokens] and [Green Treasure Tokens] in his hand were basically all consumed through exchanges, with very few left.

Next was to find a way to obtain high-Rank treasure tokens that could be exchanged for fragments of the celestial compass.

Xiao Shi already had an idea about this.

But before taking action.

He planned to first complete the cultivation of the [Grip of Mutual Shattering] and [Tremor Origin Step].

Xiao Shi went to a deserted area within the Myriad Treasure Pagoda region.

He directly began to Cultivate this technique and movement technique.

With his Comprehension Ability and talent, in less than a day, he successfully mastered the technique and movement technique.

At the same time, his main body also simultaneously inherited this technique and movement technique.

However, with the current physical strength of his main body, he certainly wouldn't dare to use this technique and movement technique.

After all, the Physical Body strength of his main body still remained at the Qi Martial Realm stage.

If he forced its use, his entire body would surely be unable to withstand it and would collapse.

After successfully mastering the technique and movement technique.

Xiao Shi continued to study the application method of the Dong Kui Bloodline.

This would allow him to use the Bloodline of this corpse and unleash its full combat power.

In fact, the application method of the Dong Kui Bloodline was not difficult.

Especially since Xiao Shi himself possessed the Dong Kui Bloodline.

He couldn't use the Bloodline before mainly because he didn't understand it enough, and this corpse was, after all, not his original body.

It was like his previous body was pitch black; no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the Bloodline within.

But now that a light had shone in, allowing him to clearly see the Bloodline in his body, he naturally understood how to use the power of the Bloodline.

Xiao Shi felt it carefully.

He mused that with his current combat power.

If he encountered that Monkey King from before again, even without relying on a sneak attack, he was confident he could kill it head-on!

Although this corpse only had the strength of the Blood Martial Realm.

But as the ninth-ranked Bloodline among all Bloodlines, the Dong Kui Bloodline made it not difficult to achieve a kill above one's level.

Even if it meant crossing a major Realm.

There was still no pressure.

After completing all this.

Xiao Shi began to plan his next move.

This would be the key step in obtaining high-Rank treasure tokens.

However.

He wasn't sure yet if his method would definitely work.

If it didn't... then there were only two paths left to take.

One was to choose to give up and quit while he was ahead!

Although it would be a bit regretful and a pity.

Knowing he couldn't get it, he wouldn't force his way to the eleventh floor and risk exposing his identity.

In fact, even if he left now, he would still have profited.

Especially now that he knew the power of the Dong Kui Bloodline, Xiao Shi was even more reluctant to easily discard this corpse.

The second was to stay here and continuously kill Blood Martial Realm Vicious Beasts.

Based on his understanding of his own drop mechanism.

Even killing Blood Martial Realm Vicious Beasts still had a chance to drop [Blue Treasure Tokens] and higher-Rank treasure tokens above [Blue Treasure Tokens].

It was just that the probability was extremely low!

But if he killed them in large numbers.

Killing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Blood Martial Realm Vicious Beasts.

Then these high-Rank treasure tokens would surely drop.

But this method.

Required a lot of time.

He might have to stay here for several years, or even over a decade.

Xiao Shi shook his head.

Before the method he had in mind was implemented, he didn't want to decide which path to take.

Regardless.

He would try it first.

He felt the chance of success was quite high.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Shi did not stay in this place any longer.

Sou!

With a movement of his body.

He chose to leave the area where the Myriad Treasure Pagoda was located and headed into the distance.
