As Shi Yan entered the blood pool, the blood was already up to his waist Suddenly the blood in the pool started toup and down his body like vines Seconds later, his whole body was covered with blood and tightly bound

The crily wrapping around him until it forhout his body Shi Yan felt as if his brain was being sliced into pieces It felt even worse than death It was as if tens ofinto his body and squir away at his blood and flesh

Shi Yan couldn't see anything He wanted to scream, but couldn't e liquid started flowing slowly along his ribs like a small stream and tore open his veins wherever it passed Then the liquid rapidly accelerated and divided into nu into the seven hundred and twenty er, Shi Yan felt so within his meridians[1] He felt that his seven hundred and twenty ed between feeling scorching hot and biting cold It felt extremely uncomfortable

Soon after, hismadly

A small amount of the liquid infused itself into every cyclone and iftly absorbed into theed and the process accelerated

The intensity of the pain was ale vessel, filled with the strange liquid It was transfor him in ways he couldn’t possibly co the h his ain

The searing pain had disappeared and was replaced by a nuin and blood pool was tranquil

Unexpectedly, he felt a warh his body After this sensation made a complete cycle, he felt extraordinary coth

"Profound Qi!"[2]

It dawned on hiinated from the blood pool! This is the precious Qi which could only be obtained by warriors!

Within the memory of the other Shi Yan, he came to know that Profound Qi was the source of power for warriors It was the foundation for warriors to support and release powerful rades, according to the strength of their Profound Qi These were Elementary, Nascent, Hu God[3], with each grade containing three divisions

Warriors were stronger than commoners Profound Qi determines the status one would have One could be called a warrior as long as he possessed the slightest amount of Profound Qi

The vast hout their entire life Once obtained, they could strengthen it si as a warrior possessed Qi, they would always have a place to return to

As the weak Profound Qi gently circulated throughout his body, Shi Yan cao back to his world, he would survive here Just then he noticed that the blood cocoon was still tightly wrapped around hile

"HEYA!"

The blood cocoon cracked, and Shi Yan ju around, he found himself in that odd cave with the bones everywhere

However, the blood pool had all dried up! Only a few pieces of broken bones were left!

A huge glittering blood cocoon, as thin as a wafer, towered in the centre of the enited at the bottoreildly and started to burn the bones In a few minutes, the blood cocoon and the bones were all burnt to nothingness A red light sparkled in the dry pool There was a sparkling delicate ring quietly lying there

Shi Yan stared at the strange ring for a while and assu must have some connection with the blood pool After a few seconds of hesitation, he stepped in again, picked up the ring, and wore it on the ring finger of his left hand

The ring conveyed a warly connected to it, as if the ring had become a part of his body All at once, the weak Profound Qi in his body lost control and rushed towards the crier and failed to enter the ring

Shi Yan was shocked and tried to take off the ring i had been firer like an un wouldn’t move an inch

Now that the Profound Qi couldn't break the skin, it went back to nor faded away as well

The ring kept silent after that, thus Shi Yan started to analyze the situation

“The blood in the pool must have purified h not huge, the blood it contained would weigh at least a few tons There was no way for an elephant to hold that much liquid inside its body!

Shi Yan turned pale He subconsciously looked around and wanted to see how his body had changed Had it swelled up?

He was incredibly anxious!

To his surprise, his body was only skin and bones! The clothes on hie now It was better to call him a withered mummy

Shi Yan turned even paler He never expected that this blood pool would not only fail to send him back to his previous world, but would es to hi and he suddenly felt extreht he could al to eat in the cave He glanced at the dry blood pool and was sad to find that he could no longer return to his world

Shi Yan decided to find a weapon He reainst each other with all kinds of weapons However, after he examined them, he found that all of the weapons had rusted or been destroyed, none of which could be used anymore
