Chapter 150: Chapter 119 “Blood Power”! Magic and Martial Unity

“Gang Leader, Hao Yi has left the city.”

At the Yu residence, a subordinate reported to Yu Hu.

“Oh?”

Yu Hu was somewhat surprised upon receiving the message, then he sneered:

“Gu Zhenhui, that old fox, really has some tricks up his sleeve.”

Zhang Mingze knew Hao Yi well, but Yu Hu did not; without Zhang Mingze to devise strategies for him, he actually had not anticipated that Gu Zhenhui would be able to persuade Hao Yi to take action.

“Unfortunately, outsmarted by their own cleverness.”

Yu Hu was not flustered by this development.

Although he had not expected Gu Zhenhui to be able to persuade Hao Yi to act, Hao Yi's departure from the city was the very scenario he had hoped to see. The opponent's move could be seen as indirectly aiding him.

“Understood. Continue to gather information and keep an eye on the City Guard Army's movements at all times.”

After dispatching his subordinate, Yu Hu walked inside the room, picked up the telephone receiver, and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected:

“The plan has changed; Hao Yi has left the city.”

…

The morning of October 21st.

In the Governance Hall, the Chief's office.

“Sir, the spy who moved with Hao Yi has sent back a message; we have discovered the bandits' whereabouts. They are currently near Liu Family Town, and it looks like they're preparing to take action against Liu Family Town.”

Cheng Bi reported to Gu Zhenhui.

Hao Yi had agreed to act and left the city the next day, while Cheng Bi had sent several trackers skilled in pursuit to accompany him.

Hao Yi was not adept at tracking; his responsibility was to ensure the safety of these spies.

After a day of tracking, they finally sent back useful intelligence today.

Gu Zhenhui was somewhat invigorated upon hearing this and quickly asked:

“How many of them are there? Any masters among them? Did the tracking process encounter any attacks by masters?”

“The bandits number over fifty, all mounted on horses with firearms and powerful crossbows, and so far no masters have been discovered, nor were any master-level attacks encountered during tracking.”

Cheng Bi replied.

“Only over fifty people? And no masters?”

Gu Zhenhui frowned, “Could it be a deliberate ploy to lure Hao Yi out of the city? But for what purpose?”

Unable to figure out the opponent's intention, Gu Zhenhui decided to play it safe:

“Send a message back, asking Hao Yi to take them out directly.”

Since there were only about fifty people and no masters involved, it should be easy for someone of Hao Yi's capabilities to handle them, and it wouldn't matter even if some escaped in the end, as Gu Zhenhui definitely wouldn't send troops out.

“Yes.”

Cheng Bi took the order and left.

Swiftly, a hawk flew out of Xing City, heading towards the southwestern mountain forests.

This was the method used by spies to maintain contact with the city.

Meanwhile, Yu Hu also issued an order:

“Let Grey Hawk make his move!”

…

At the Martial Arts Hall, inside the training room.

Li Fei had just taken a Golden Armor Pill, his Geng Metal True Qi swirling inside, continuously stimulating the Steel Armor Implant to accelerate the digestion of the pill's potency.

Although Hao Yi was not present, he still came to the training room on schedule every day to train.

With Hao Yi absent these past two days, it was the perfect time to increase his medication and boost the progress of his Qi Change Stage cultivation while also striving to complete the Myriad Blood Pearl's upgrade.

More than twenty days had passed since the last Myriad Blood Pearl upgrade. During this time, Li Fei had sparred with Shangguan Xiao every evening. Along with taking new Elixirs, the Myriad Blood Pearl had absorbed a great deal of energy, just short of the final bit needed to upgrade.

Moments later, Li Fei's expression brightened.

[Rank: Level 11 1%

Blood Soul: 161

Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage, Blood Slaughter, Blood Power

Transform Skill: Blood Demon]

After reaching level 11, the Myriad Blood Pearl gained 20 more Blood Souls, bringing Li Fei's total Blood Soul count to 161.

And as the count exceeded 150 Blood Souls, the Myriad Blood Pearl unlocked a new Blood Soul Skill—Blood Power!

Through the unlocked information in the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei instantly grasped the function of [Blood Power]:

Using [Blood Power], one could launch a mental assault on a single designated target, with the more Blood Souls consumed at once, the stronger the mental assault.

[Blood Power] could only use up to 10% of the user's total number of Blood Souls at one time.

“Mental assault?!”

Upon reading this information, Li Fei immediately thought of the Magic practiced in this world.

Hao Yi had told him that during the Body Breaking and Divine Transformation Stages, all Spells used could only affect the spiritual level.

For instance, Illusion Techniques like hypnosis, intimidating, and so on.

And [Blood Power] too was an impact on the spiritual level, seeming very similar to Spells.

This reminded Li Fei of the time he pursued Calming Sect members in the forest; when Hao Yi and others arrived, the Mage from the Righteous Court cast the ‘Horror Technique' on the Calming Sect believers.

The believers of the Calming Sect were scared witless and scattered in all directions, some even going insane and completely losing their ability to resist.

It seemed that the newly unlocked [Blood Power] was very much like another version of the Horror Technique.

Only the Horror Technique was for group attacks, whereas [Blood Power] was for singular targets.

“`

“The Myriad Blood Pearl can even unlock spells? Does that mean I could also be considered a person who has dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?”

Li Fei thought to himself with glee.

Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts seemed impressive; one possessed almost invincible combat power within the same rank, but as one progressed, cultivation became increasingly difficult, with conflicts arising from the integration of two distinct systems of Implants.

Throughout history, many who boasted unparalleled talents believed they could traverse the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but in the end, they all failed.

However, Li Fei's Myriad Blood Pearl was different. It encompassed all abilities as part of the Blood Soul Skills, completely devoid of any conflicts. Therefore, it would be more accurate to say he embodied the unity of magic and martial arts, rather than a dual cultivator!

“At the moment, it seems that there's a fundamental difference between magic-sided Blood Soul Skills like [Blood Power] and martial-sided ones like [Blood Rage] and [Blood Slaughter].”

Li Fei quietly contemplated in the training room, concluding:

“The power ceiling of [Blood Rage] and [Blood Slaughter] depends on the strength of my own body. The stronger my physique and the higher my tolerance, the higher the ceiling for [Blood Rage] and [Blood Slaughter]. On the other hand, [Blood Power] is different; it clearly states that the maximum spell power is 10% of my total Blood Soul count, so it has nothing to do with my physique. Only when the total count of Blood Souls increases can the power of [Blood Power] increase. Hmm, one is martial-sided, the other is magic-sided, interesting.”

Bang, bang, bang.

As Li Fei was summarizing the characteristics of the Blood Soul Skills, sudden knocking sounds came from outside.

Li Fei was startled; he and Hao Yi rarely got disturbed when they were training in this room.

He stood up, walked over, and opened the door. Standing outside was a man dressed in the attire of a Martial Arts Hall administrative staff member.

The man smiled at Li Fei and said politely,

“Hello, student Li Fei, the Hall Master wishes to see you.”

“The Hall Master wants to see me?”

Li Fei was taken aback, “Is there something the matter?”

Was this newly appointed Hall Master trying to seize the opportunity to speak with him alone while Hao Yi was away?

“I wouldn't know; I'm just the messenger.”

The man outside said.

Li Fei nodded, “Wait a moment.”

After speaking, he turned and walked back into the training room, picking up the Ghost Slash Blade that was set aside.

The blade was originally kept in a wooden box and had no scabbard.

For convenient carrying, Li Fei had specifically commissioned a scabbard for it.

After unlocking the transformation ability of the Ghost Slash Blade, he was now able to use the blade openly under his identity as Li Fei without fear of being recognized.

“Let's go.”

Li Fei, holding the scabbard in his left hand, walked out of the room.

The man outside looked at the blade in Li Fei's hand, hesitated for a moment, then said,

“Going to see the Hall Master with a blade isn't very appropriate, is it?”

Li Fei chuckled,

“This blade was a gift from an elder; I dare not be careless with it. Please lead the way.”

How precious was a Fifth-Level Abnormal Weapon? Naturally, he had to carry it with him at all times.

The man said no more and turned to lead the way.

The two quickly left the training room building.

As they stepped out, Li Fei looked suspiciously at the man leading the way in front of him.

His perceptive abilities had vastly improved; even when not in his ‘Overlord Body' state, they were still razor-sharp, so he could tell that the muscles of the man leading the way were tensing up, as if he was somewhat nervous.

This made Li Fei instantly heighten his guard.

The two walked along a shaded path, with ginkgo trees on both sides.

It was the golden autumn season, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees had turned completely yellow, falling gracefully to the ground and creating a beautiful scene.

Suddenly, Li Fei swiftly turned around, drew his sword, and slashed to the right!

At the very moment Li Fei unsheathed his blade, a figure burst out from behind a ginkgo tree, lunging towards him.

The assailant's speed was extremely fast; with a swing of their palms, the wave of force stirred up the ginkgo leaves on the ground into a golden tide, rolling toward Li Fei in waves.

Li Fei's vision was completely blocked, preventing him from seeing the exact location of the attacker.

However, this did not affect his strike; the Ghost Slash Blade turned into a streak of cold light, piercing toward a spot in front of him and tearing a hole through the incoming golden tide.

“Eh?”

The assailant was somewhat surprised, extending a finger to flick the side of the Ghost Slash Blade's blade.

Bang—

A sound like thunder exploded, drawing the attention of many nearby students and instructors to look in their direction.

A flash of firelight passed, and the golden leaves that had surged towards Li Fei instantly ignited, turning into countless sparks that fell on Li Fei, setting his clothes alight!

The tide turned into a sea of fire!

The blade Li Fei had thrust forward trembled uncontrollably, nearly slipping from his grasp; in this exchange, he ascertained the attacker's cultivation level—

A Refining Strength Martial Master!

The opponent wielded Fire Attribute force; their Cultivation had to be at least at the Qi Change Middle Stage.

Although there were quite a few students and instructors nearby at this moment, their strength was in no way comparable to that of a Refining Strength Martial Master—it would be impossible to expect them to come to his rescue.

If Li Fei wanted to protect himself, he would have to reveal his strength in front of so many people.

Doing so could potentially expose the identity of the Green-faced Ghost!

But if he didn't reveal his strength, how could he, a merely Body Breaking Middle Stage and Rank A student of the Martial Arts Hall, escape from the hands of a Refining Strength Martial Master?

Li Fei ignored the flames burning on his body, retreating very calmly while parrying with his sword and activating his ‘Overlord Body'.

Just as he entered the ‘Overlord Body' state, the attacker reached out to grab him.

That was when Li Fei finally caught a clear glimpse of the attacker:

Dressed in a black martial robe, wearing a blue Evil Ghost mask.

The Green-faced Ghost?!
