114: Chapter 114 The Vampire Clan's Plan

As Chen Moxuan's Spiritual Sense approached, the blood glow suddenly trembled violently, as if it sensed a life-or-death crisis.

The Mental Energy barrier that Zhong Quandao had left inside his body now had little power remaining.

Under the blood glow's reckless and frenzied strangulation at this moment, it disintegrated in an instant.

That ferocious blood glow seized the opportunity to pounce violently toward Chen Moxuan's Spiritual Sense.

But Chen Moxuan's Mental Energy was no longer what it used to be.

The Mental Energy that could once only barely manage to circle and struggle against the remnant Soul of the Blood Race contained within the blood glow was now as hard as a thick slab of steel.

When the blood glow slammed into it, the massive reactive force sent it flying back violently instead.

As if it had been stunned by the collision, the scarlet glow flickered violently, seemingly in a state of confusion.

How much time had even passed? Was this still the inside of the person it had previously been eroding?

Chen Moxuan's Spiritual Sense did not give it a chance to catch its breath; he increased the output of Mental Energy wrapped within his Spiritual Sense, and countless silver thread-like Spiritual Senses wove into an inescapable net, wrapping the blood glow layer by layer.

He had already experimented with methods of using Spiritual Sense many times in the Spirit Gathering Secret Realm.

Now that he had obtained the usage techniques from the Jade Slip, he had fully mastered them after a little contemplation.

As his Spiritual Sense tightened continuously, the blood glow was compressed into a ball of light the size of a walnut.

It could only struggle in vain within the confinement; every collision stirred up blinding blood-red sparks, causing its own light to grow even dimmer.

Every intense collision between his Spiritual Sense and the blood glow allowed Chen Moxuan to perceive more and more information about the Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse.

By doing so, he could use "All-Things Calculation" to finish analyzing the Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse faster.

However, there was now a faster and more effective method.

As his Spiritual Sense wrapped around the blood glow, golden runes appeared, circling it.

Like a scorching sun melting snow, wherever the golden light passed, the blood glow instantly evaporated and dissipated.

The remnant Soul contained within twisted violently, emitting a heart-wrenching scream.

As the light of the runes grew increasingly intense, the blood glow lost all power to resist.

"Snap!"

Chen Moxuan split off two more wisps of Spiritual Sense, forming two giant hands covered in golden runes that slammed together violently.

The Spiritual Sense cage collapsed instantly, and the blood glow inside was crushed into dust.

The Souls of the Blood Race were different from those of the Human Race, which resided in the Spirit Platform.

Their Souls used their own blood as a carrier.

This Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse was a relatively special technique among blood curses; the blood curse contained a portion of the essence blood of the Vampire Royal Family, and naturally, it also carried a portion of a remnant Soul.

Now, under the stripping effect of the "Po Yuan" Divine Ability, apart from the essential rules of the blood curse, fragments of memory from the remnant Soul also flowed into Chen Moxuan's Sea of Consciousness.

"So that's how it is..."

The moment he read the memory fragments of the remnant Soul, Chen Moxuan's expression immediately turned grim.

From them, he learned exactly what that silver-haired Blood Race member, who had infiltrated the Human Race for many years and transformed into Lin Muhan, was planning.

The Human Race was able to enclose land to defend itself and stand tall for many years while surrounded by ten thousand races.

Beyond establishing layers of defense lines to keep alien races isolated, the more critical factor was the An Tian Grand Array spread across the territory.

The An Tian Grand Array was created by one of the Human Race's supreme powerhouses, who used a great Divine Ability to temper boundary stones, joining forces with several top Formation masters to build it with all their might.

Inside the grand array, once a non-Human creature stepped in, the stronger its strength was, or the closer it was to the core of the Formation eye, the heavier the suppression it would suffer.

The Great Xia Kingdom used Base Cities and entire provinces as units, with every human settlement covered by an independent An Tian Grand Array.

These grand arrays interacted and resonated with each other, eventually connecting to form a massive Formation covering the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

Lin Muhan's ultimate plan was to destroy the An Tian Grand Array of Jiangnan Province and establish a Blood Race base there.

As for why she wanted to do this, how she would implement the plan, and what accomplices existed...

Chen Moxuan could not discern this from the memory fragments.

He only learned of one location, and judging from the emotions contained within the memories, it seemed to be the most critical part of the first step of the plan.

"Longyuan Secret Realm?" Chen Moxuan blurted out involuntarily.

"Student Chen, where did you find out the location for this year's Martial Arts Exam?"

Principal Li asked with a face full of confusion upon hearing this.

"This information was only confirmed three days ago and hasn't been announced yet; other than the mid-to-high-level officials in the education sector, no one else should know."

"Martial Arts Exam venue?" Chen Moxuan asked in return.

Principal Li nodded and explained:

"That's right, all previous Martial Arts Exams have been held in Secret Realms, and this year, the host of the Martial Arts Exam for the eight major provinces is Jiangnan Province."

"Just three days ago, the venue that Jiangnan Province applied for and had approved by the Martial Arts Management Bureau was indeed the Longyuan Secret Realm."

Chen Moxuan pondered slightly and decided to set this matter aside for now.

At the moment, there was very little time left before he would be pulled toward the Superpower World.

This information was far too incomplete; even he did not know how the Blood Race intended to implement their plan.

Even if he told Principal Li now, it would be of little use other than creating panic.

It was better to focus on preparing to deal with the things he was about to face and consider this again when he returned next time.

"Principal, do you know where Zhang Qing is now?" Chen Moxuan asked.

Back then, in order to find Zhang Qing, he had wasted half a day beating up the delinquents of Third Hope Middle School from the bottom to the top.

The result was still no gains.

Although there was no way to guarantee that people with the same name met in two different worlds would be the same person, it at least counted as a direction for inquiry.

As long as he saw the Zhang Qing of this world, if there was someone with the same appearance in the other world, then there was a high possibility that it would be the Zhang Qing he was looking for.

"Are you talking about our School Team captain, Zhang Qing?" Principal Li confirmed.

Seeing Chen Moxuan nod, Principal Li said again:

"He is preparing for tomorrow's final; he should be in the captain's training room in the Training Building."

Speaking of this, Principal Li suddenly looked complex and said awkwardly:

"Mentioning the final, well, Student Chen, there is something I would like to ask a favor of you..."

"Teacher Ma had originally declined this match for you, but because of the incident with the vice-captain, Liu Kai... now we are short of people again."

"The final?" Chen Moxuan pondered slightly in his heart.

Only then did he remember that on the day he came to the office to find Ma Jingyuan to go to the medicine storage together, they seemed to have mentioned the final.

Tianqing Martial Arts School was directly judged to have lost because Lin Muhan's identity as a member of the Blood Race was exposed.

Thus, Henghuo Martial Arts School successfully advanced to the final, facing off against Jiangshui Martial Arts School.

He vaguely remembered that the match was mentioned to be in seven days...

In other words, since the day he heavily injured Liu Kai until now, less than seven days had passed in this world.

It felt like the things he had experienced had taken nearly a month.

"Student Chen, I know you have just returned from the Secret Realm and are physically and mentally exhausted, but..."

The principal said with a bitter smile, then immediately spoke his true thoughts:

"Henghuo Martial Arts School hasn't made it to the final for so many years; I really want to show off once!"

"No problem," Chen Moxuan agreed.

Henghuo Martial Arts School had previously given him a lot of assistance, so this favor naturally had to be returned.

Moreover, the fact that Liu Kai could not compete was entirely his doing.

"Really?" Principal Li showed a look of joy.

Chen Moxuan nodded again: "But I am indeed a bit tired, Principal. I will go back and rest first."

Principal Li quickly said: "That is only natural. However, how is the Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse on you?"

"The Jade Slip left by Senior Zhong contained the method to break it; I have already resolved it just now."

"So fast?!" Principal Li widened his eyes, his shock impossible to hide.

"Principal, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Chen Moxuan waved goodbye and turned into a streak of light, flying out the window.

Looking at the office where he was the only one left in the blink of an eye, Principal Li could not help but shake his head and sigh:

"That Spirit-Eroding Blood Curse, which has caused countless martial arts geniuses to perish, was actually broken so casually."

"He is truly a peerless Prodigy..."

Immediately, Principal Li's expression turned into a burst of ecstasy, and he laughed out loud:

"Dongchang City's so-called strongest martial arts student, Xie Ning, is only at the sixth stage of the Qi Control Realm."

"Just wait, you old bastard from Jiangshui Martial Arts School; tomorrow I will let you know what a dimensional reduction strike is."

"Hahahaha!"
