35: Third-Rank Spiritual Array Master

Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed.

So that's what the Blood Robe Great Technique means.

The Blood Robe Sect truly lives up to its name as an Evil Path, even its secret techniques are so bloody and violent!

There wasn't a hint of panic on Lu Xingchen's face as he activated the Heaven Swallowing Art, and his Aura steadily rose.

However, Lu Xingchen didn't go all out, only unleashing sixty percent of the Heaven Swallowing Art's power.

He was afraid that if his apparent strength was too great, Wang Zitao wouldn't dare to fight him.

If Wang Zitao turned into a blood mist and escaped again, it would ultimately be troublesome.

Lu Xingchen's Realm also surged to Ten-Star Martial Master, a bit weaker than Wang Zitao's Martial Master Peak.

Wang Zitao was greatly astonished.

"You actually have a secret technique that can temporarily boost your Realm too!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Anyone who can enter the Secret Realm isn't just any Genius from various sects? Having a secret technique is quite reasonable."

"But your secret technique doesn't seem to be as strong as my Blood Robe Great Technique!"

"Who is stronger and who is weaker, we'll only know after we fight!"

Lu Xingchen met him with his sword, clashing with Wang Zitao.

Although there was a slight difference in their Realms, Lu Xingchen's swordsmanship was surprisingly good, completely suppressing Wang Zitao.

After only a few dozen exchanges, three wounds appeared on Wang Zitao's body.

Wang Zitao was enraged and directly unleashed a powerful move.

He clasped his hands together, and a reddish-black blood orb condensed in front of his chest, then flew towards Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen showed no panic, directly activating "Void-Shattering Slash," imbued with the "Jade Shatter" talent effect.

Half of his Battle Qi instantly vanished, in exchange for five times the attack power.

Lu Xingchen's Battle Qi Sword Blade directly split Wang Zitao's blood orb in two, then fiercely slashed towards him.

Wang Zitao was greatly astonished.

It was too late to use "Space Blood Escape" at this moment; he could only face this move head-on.

Wang Zitao raised the long saber in his hand, blocking it in front of his chest.

Lu Xingchen's Battle Qi Sword Blade directly sent his long saber flying, then fiercely slashed at him.

The System congratulated the host on killing a Five-Star Martial Master, gaining fifty experience points and fifty exchange points!

The System congratulated the host on acquiring the talent: Devour, effect: absorbs one percent of the opponent's Battle Qi for short-term use.

Lu Xingchen was delighted.

Although the experience points dropped by Wang Zitao were a bit low, at least he got the "Devour" talent!

With this talent, his combat power could be greatly enhanced!

Lu Xingchen took the Storage Rings from the three individuals and put them, along with the items obtained from defeating the Puppets, into his Storage Ring.

What he found somewhat regrettable was that Wang Zitao's Blood Robe Great Technique and the Martial Skill that allowed him to turn into a blood mist and escape were not in the Storage Ring.

Those two were the most precious.

After checking all the items, not many were useful.

The xuan rank intermediate "Azure Dragon Slash" could be used with the shadow sword, and there was also a profound rank low grade tortoise shell shield for defense.

Among the Medicinal Pills were a few rejuvenation pills and qi recovery pills.

The qi recovery pill could accelerate the recovery speed of Battle Qi.

After tidying up his belongings, Lu Xingchen looked towards the only unopened room in the Cultivation chamber.

Guarding the room was a Puppet of the Grand Martial Master Realm.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and consumed a qi recovery pill.

An hour later, his Battle Qi finally recovered to Peak level.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen fully activated the Heaven Swallowing Art, and the Spiritual Qi within a hundred-meter radius surged towards him like crazy.

His Realm directly increased from Seven-Star Martial Master to One-Star Grand Martial Master.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen added 30 talent points to "Devour."

Devour (30): Absorbs thirty percent of the opponent's Battle Qi for short-term use.

Then, Lu Xingchen, holding his shadow sword, attacked the Puppet of the Grand Martial Master Realm.

Their Realms were the same, but Lu Xingchen possessed multiple talents, completely suppressing the Puppet and defeating it almost without injury.

The System congratulated the host on killing a One-Star Grand Martial Master, gaining 150 experience points and 150 exchange points!

Entering the room, various blueprints greeted his eyes.

The blueprints seemed to depict various Formations.

On a table, Lu Xingchen found a letter left by the former owner of the room.

"My name is Wang Jian. By the time you read this letter, I am already dead."

"I dedicated my life to researching Spirit Formations and do not wish for my knowledge to be buried with me. Fortuitous outsider, if you are interested in Spirit Formations, you may tear up this letter."

"All my years of learning will enter your mind."

After reading the letter, Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

Why not seize an opportunity to improve his strength?

He immediately tore the letter to pieces; a white light flashed, and a wealth of Spirit Formation knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although Lu Xingchen had never been exposed to Spirit Formation knowledge before, he immediately became a Third-Grade Spirit Formation Master.

The combat power of a Third-Grade Spirit Formation Master was already equivalent to a Great Martial Master Realm Expert!

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but click his tongue.

He wondered what kind of powerful Senior the former owner of this room was, to be able to impart knowledge through such a direct Legacy!

With his current strength, he was sufficient to face ordinary Great Martial Master Realm Experts.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen put all the blueprints in the room into his Storage Ring.

The blueprints contained not only Third-Grade Formation diagrams, but even Fourth and Fifth-Grade ones.

He didn't need them now, but he could use the System to gain professional experience points.

When his professional Rank increased in the future, these Formation diagrams would all be useful items.

After clearing out all the blueprints in the room, Lu Xingchen saw two spirit formation seeds on a table.

Spirit Array Masters need to form Spiritual Marks with their Soul Power to construct Formations according to the Formation diagrams, which takes time.

And the spirit formation seed can store the Formations constructed by a Spirit Array Master.

No preparation time is needed; they can be released instantly.

Lu Xingchen stored two Third-Grade Spirit Formations in the spirit formation seeds, then left the room contentedly with the looted items.

Closing the door, he bowed to the room.

"Senior Wang Jian, thank you for the Legacy of the Dao. I, Lu Xingchen, will surely make your knowledge immensely valuable!"

After leaving this area of buildings, Lu Xingchen continued deeper into the Secret Realm.

Half an hour later, he saw a Medicinal Garden, and other Disciples standing outside it.

Two of them were old acquaintances of Lu Xingchen: Lin Jing and Ning Feng.

Lu Xingchen had no impression of the other two at all.

However, judging by their attire, they should be Disciples of the Three Evil Sects.

Lu Xingchen walked towards the two, smiling, "Senior Sister Lin Jing, I finally met someone I know, it's not easy!"

Lin Jing said coldly, "Saint, there are two Disciples from the Nine Ghosts Sect here. Although I don't know how they snuck in, they are an Evil Sect after all, should we eliminate them while we're at it?"

Upon hearing this, the male and female from the Nine Ghosts Sect looked at Lu Xingchen with a hint of seriousness.

They had originally thought that the Saint of Lingxiao Sect should be Hu Junfeng or Lin Jing, but they didn't expect it to be someone else.

Anyone who could defeat those two certainly wouldn't be weak.
