Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Feathered Serpent (Request for Monthly Tickets)

After a hectic episode and triple-checking, Davis finally confirmed that Zhong Shenxiu had long since passed through the Gate of Darkness.

"Genius, an absolute genius! Ha ha... I never thought such a talented person would join our Five Rings School!"

Davis was so excited he was almost incoherent.

Meanwhile, Jason and Camilla bowed their heads in shame aside.

They had been working hard on their meditation training, but once they reached the Spirit Realm, they became utterly dumbfounded, with slow thoughts and sluggish actions.

It was a problem of talent, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"Hmm, I need to prepare my lessons again, your progress is completely different... Well, from now on, come to my office every Wednesday during the day."

Davis thought for a moment and decided.

"Sure!"

Zhong Shenxiu was indifferent, he listened to a few words and found that the other party was merely teaching the most basic content of mystical studies.

Such as how to prepare basic Magic Potions like Heaven’s Fierce Drink, how to meditate to increase one’s stamina in the Spirit Realm. Then he left the classroom and returned to the library.

It was already late at night.

At the entrance, two gargoyle statues emitted red light from their eyes, but when given a stern look from Zhong Shenxiu, they sheepishly retracted their glow.

He lit a candle, went to the restricted area, and put back the travel book he had been reading.

Above the iron bars, wisps of black mist intertwined, transforming into small black snakes that continuously stuck out their crimson tongues.

But upon seeing Zhong Shenxiu and sensing the aura of a "Pastor," they dared not advance and merely watched as an unauthorized student freely browsed the contents of the restricted section.

Zhong Shenxiu put the travel journal back and pulled out another book titled "War of the Blood Cup," quickly flipping it open as he sat down.

Inside, it described the servants of the Master of Black Blood, discovering clues about the Holy Grail several times, thus starting a bloody war.

Almost every time, a large number of mysterious individuals died, sometimes even affecting the ordinary world, causing plagues, curse leakages, and other supernatural disasters.

Therefore, the Holy Grail also had another nickname, ’Blood Cup’!

"So, the time when the Five Rings School was at its best, they also participated in the War of the Blood Cup, and because many masters died, they declined..."

"’Longevity Blood’—a step to heaven, becoming a ’longevity’ entity? If there is such a person, they seem like the best hunting target, right?"

Zhong Shenxiu stroked his chin, "No, if it really exists, why don’t I drink it myself? Although there might be severe side effects, I’m not an ordinary exceptional being... If I can really leap to become a longevity entity, and then choose to immediately return, perhaps the power can’t be brought back, but some inexplicable metaphysical beings might be carried back? If not, then I’ll have to beat up the Heavenly Show System..."

The crossing of the Gate of Thousands is a True Spirit crossing, and everything else can’t be brought along.

Even if one really hunted a Primordial Pill Creature in this world, how to bring the pill back was also a problem.

Unless... letting the Heavenly Show System leak more permissions.

Zhong Shenxiu thought a lot, so much it gave him a headache, then he returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and entered his dreams.

...

"Another night with no gains... Where exactly is the Red River?"

Morning.

Zhong Shenxiu woke up, complained, and went out to see people like Scarface. They had already picked a location and started a bar business.

And very uncreatively, they named it ’Whisperer No. 2’.

He didn’t bother with these details, seeing everything was normal, he continued back to Xavier Technical School, starting his daily life of reading.

Time flew until it was Wednesday.

Inside the office.

Davis pulled the curtains, his expression solemn: "Li Wei, since you truly chose to join our school and have already become an ’exceptional’ person, you can now start practicing the Blood and Flesh Technique."

"Please teach me."

Zhong Shenxiu slightly bowed.

"The Blood and Flesh Technique is a unique ritual only practiced by the followers of the Master of Black Blood, replacing our own body parts with those of powerful Spirit Realm Creatures to gain their powerful abilities!"

As he spoke, Davis’s body swelled from a hunchbacked old man to a muscular strong man: "See? This is the power of the Blood and Flesh Technique!"

He extended his arm, showing Zhong Shenxiu the intertwined muscles and emerging eye-shaped scales.

"Indeed very powerful!"

Zhong Shenxiu sincerely admired. Such a guy probably couldn’t be killed with one shot; it would take two!

As a mere ’Exceptional’ individual, his strength was already quite commendable. Shouldn’t he be considered worthy of leading a school?

"Our Five Rings School, the bloodlines we implant all come from a powerful Spirit Realm Creature, which we named ’Three-eyed Feathered Serpent.’ It was the flesh gained by the masters of our school from deep within the Spirit Realm..."

Davis proudly said, "After preliminary confirmations, that creature is as powerful as a ’Perfect Being.’ We didn’t even manage to kill it back then, we just obtained some of its flesh, which has been kept within our school. Through constant cultivation, we acquired the bloodline... Thus, those who came after benefited from that one action."

"Could it be that after so many years, that piece of flesh still maintains its vitality?" Zhong Shenxiu actually knew quite well about the Blood and Flesh Technique. He knew it was possible to maintain the vitality of flesh by cultivating it in certain solutions.

After all, one doesn’t need much for their first bloodline transplant; just a hint of blood is enough.

Therefore, the tissues and organs of some powerful creatures are the treasures of the Master of Black Blood’s school, passed down through many generations, being repeatedly utilized.

However, at the moment he was pretending to be a newbie, so he still had to ask.

"Ha ha, of course, this is the capability of our Nameless Art..."

Davis reverted to his normal human shape, and chuckled: "Not only that, each apprentice’s initial implanted bloodline is very weak, termed as ’Initial Form’... but it can be continuously cultivated and strengthened. Once your bloodline starts its first evolution, becoming ’Developing Form,’ it can be used as a key to find the Pure White Wilderness. Of course, forcefully passing through has some difficulties, but with some auxiliary rituals, becoming an ’Exceptional’ being is quite possible. It’s quite unfortunate for William; I judged his bloodline was close to advancing. He was actually not far from ’Exceptional’..."

Davis sighed.

In reality, cultivating a bloodline is very expensive, extremely expensive!

William’s earnings from part-time jobs were simply not enough. He had already despaired and thus chose to give up.

"So, teacher, your bloodline has also reached the ’Developing Form’ stage?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked.

"Yes, if I can evolve my bloodline once more, to become ’Growing Form,’ then I’ll be able to reach the Crimson River and try to advance to become an ’Ascender’..."

Davis said with a note of regret.
