Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong 246 Fully Formed Blood Core

As if possessed by a starving ghost, Sheng Feilong cleaned up one plate after the other, not stopping for more than half an hour. She Meixiao and Song Weihan threw him a few weird looks, though Mu Ye didn't seem to mind in the slightest; He put out one dish after the other, refilling the table as soon as Sheng Feilong was done with his plate.

Sheng Feilong ate to his hearts content, leaning back into his seat with a satisfied expression as the last plate was cleaned of all food. By this point, Song Weihan and She Meixiao were staring at him, while Mu Ye lazily walked out of the kitchen and took a seat. "You're done now?"

He had seen Sheng Feilong's pale face before and knew better than anyone else what had been going on with Sheng Feilong. The latter nodded his head with a smile and Mu Ye glanced at She Meixiao and Song Weihan. "It's normal for him to eat this much now. Forming his Blood Core drained him of every last bit of energy. Eating heaps of nutritious food is the best way to regain all that energy."

He turned his attention back to Sheng Feilong, continuing to speak in the same bland tone. "So, what happened there? Why did all of your energy suddenly rush towards our Dantian before you even started forming your Blood Core?"

"I've been meditating to find out what my Bloodline Essence could be. After a while, my bloodline started acting up on its own, a part of the third eye 'splitting off' from the rest and rushing towards my Dantian. It's my Bloodline Essence, I guess, and it didn't want to wait any longer..." Sheng Feilong shook his head with a wry expression, to which Mu Ye only nodded.

Mu Ye looked Sheng Feilong up and down for a moment, then spoke up again. "Is your Dantian okay? The rush of energy was pretty ferocious." Sheng Feilong put a hand on his lower stomach and smiled at Mu Ye. "Don't worry, Senior Mu. I've managed to keep most of the energy within the vortex, so I wasn't injured. My Dantian and Soul Core are perfectly fine."

"Let things calm down for the rest of the day, No need to cultivate, just grant your Dantian some peace and quiet. You can start experimenting with your Blood Core tomorrow; Trying to control it and getting more familiar with it takes a while, same as with a Soul Core." Mu Ye stood up again and walked towards the exit after Sheng Feilong nodded.

Song Weihan turned to Sheng Feilong after Mu Ye left, his eyes showing his concern. "Are you sure everything's alright? What's with that blood red light?" Sheng Feilong smiled at Song Weihan in response. "There's nothing wrong, Master. That red light was illuminating my Dantian because the Blood Core wasn't fully under my control. It's calmed down now, so there's no need to worry."

"...In that case, just do as Mu Ye said; Take it easy for the rest of the day. If there's anything you need or you feel anything wrong, tell me immediately." Song Weihan said with a stern look, then motioned for Sheng Feilong to do as he wished. The latter nodded again, still smiling. "Then, I'll return to my room for now."

Sheng Feilong left the dining hall as well, leaving only She Meixiao and Song Weihan behind in the room. She Meixiao turned to Song Weihan with a concerned expression. "What were you talking about before? That red light you mentioned. What happened to Feilong?" She knew Song Weihan took a look at Sheng Feilong's Dantian while the latter was cultivating, but she herself didn't know the details.

Moreover, after coming back out, Song Weihan only told Mu Ye that he could stop slowing down the flow of Sheng Feilong's energy, but didn't say anything else. Song Weihan sighed, the tension from before vanishing. "That red light was his bloodline's strength. Honestly, the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique is... incredible. Feilong formed a kind of Soul Core from his blood's energy. I've heard him and Mu Ye speak about it, but seeing it for myself, I never thought something like that to be possible."

"There's a reason they've once been at the top of the Soul Master's world in terms of power. If it wasn't for The Tang Sect's founder, Tang San, appearing 20.000 years ago, it would've most like stayed that way. The ancient Spirit Hall stood above the Body Sect in terms of reputation, but strength wise, they couldn't compare." She Meixiao spoke with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

Most information about the ties of legendary figures like Tang San and the founding of the Tang Sect have been lost to the tides of time, but the myths and legends themselves still existed; The Body Sect had been in existence for even longer than Shrek Academy or the Tang Sect and, although they've always kept a rather low profile, they weren't and secretive as other organisations.

Song Weihan looked at She Meixiao with a nonchalant expression. "That reminds me, how did you meet Mu Ye? He even knew your Soul Communicator's number and called you directly to ask for help."

She Meixiao raised her eyebrows, speaking in a surprised tone. "Ah, I never told you, did I? I met him when I asked Sir Zhen Hua to upgrade my Battle Armour. It struck me as odd as to why a Titled Douluo would act as Zhen Hua's personal cook and we got into a conversation. I only found out about him being the Body Sect's Sect Leader later. Back then, he contacted me through Zhen Hua, asking for help with a member of his Sect; That poor member went through a Second Awakening, but her Spirit Essence deteriorated into an evil one. We kept in contact after I took that girl to join Daedalus."

Song Weihan remained silent for a moment and rubbed his chin. "...I've heard rumours about the Body Sect having a method to let someone go through a Second Awakening before. So it's actually true, huh." She Meixiao nodded her head. "Un. Though a Second Awakening isn't always positive and not everyone has the chance to go through one, to begin with; It's a huge risk."

"Well, I'll return to my room for now." Song Weihan said, to which She Meixiao stood up as well. "I'll look after Yehui for a bit." Thus, the two of them parted ways for now as well.

----------------

A few days had passed since then. As per Mu Ye's advice, Sheng Feilong had taken things easy for now; He spent the first day without cultivating, letting his Dantian rest before he carefully tested the Blood Core the next day.

At first, he didn't feel all that different save for seeming having better control over his own blood's energy. And he could also not find anything strange with the Blood Core itself.

It was a blood red core in the midst of his Dantian, looking exactly like his Soul Core with the exception of the colour. However, Sheng Feilong could also not find any trace of the Bloodline Essence in the midst of the Blood Core.

For the Soul Core, he only had to glance at it to see a miniature form of his Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes Spirit Essence floating inside it, but there was nothing inside the Blood Core. He didn't too much of it, though; Even Mu Ye had only ever said the Blood Core was similar to a Soul Core, not that they were the same, so it wasn't too strange for there to be differences.

Sheng Feilong spent most of his time getting familiar with the Blood Core and how it worked, while Mu Ye gave him advice whenever he had any questions. However, Mu Ye never spoke to him about the second layer of the Innate Secret Technique yet, so Sheng Feilong guessed that he wasn't satisfied yet.

On this day, five days after initially forming the Blood Core, Sheng Feilong entered his own spiritual consciousness to talk to the old lion king. He bowed slightly to the latter, then started speaking. "Senior, what do you think of my Blood Core?"

The old lion king observed him for a while before finally opening his mouth with an uncertain voice. "It's... similar to a Soul Bone, but still different. It certainly looks the part, but its weird to see a Soul Bone without any spirit in it."

Usually, a Soul Bone created by a Soul Beast had a part of their spirit infused into it to give it its unique form and to perfectly fuse with the Soul Beast's body. Sheng Feilong knew that from his prior talks with the old lion king, so he didn't need to ask about it. "Then, do you think I can form it into a true Soul Bone, despite the lack of Spirit?"

"...I'm not sure." The old lion king spoke, his head tilted to the side. "The weirdest part really is that your Soul Bone is infused with you blood's energy, which contains the power of our linage, yet also contains the properties of a human. You've also fused... your third eye into it? It's truly strange."
