Chapter 63: Crimson Howl
The next chain he had to open was the Reaper's Tread Chain.
It was related to his leg's mobility.
The gate that was required to open was the Gate of the Reaper's Tread that would be located at the end point of the leg's meridians with the other being located at the Blood Dantian itself.
In other words, the Gate of the Reaper's Tread was connected to the Blood Dantian via meridian.
Liu Wei only took half an hour to open the Gate of the Rearper's Tread, awakening the Rearper's Tread Chain.
Then, he spent the next three hours testing the effects.
At this point, almost two days have passed and he barely tracks the time.
After Liu Wei ran around inside the library, testing the effects of the Reaper's Tread Chain, he rested on his seat and pondered.
The left leg's speed and stability would always adjust to my right leg. Hence, it boosts agility and evasive maneuvers.
If my right leg is speed, then my left leg is agility, they coordinated with each other very well.
Now, the last chain he had to open to bring him to the peak of the late Qi Condensation Stage was the Hell Maw Chain.
It was related to his throat and vocal channel.
The gate that was required to be opened was the Gate of Hell Maw.
It only took him half an hour to open the Gate.
Now, the effects of the Hell Maw Chain was simply to increase the efficiency of the basic Blood Roar.
It was within expectations, as the effects of opening the Hell Maw Chain was to increase breath control for techniques.
Now that Liu Wei awakened nine of the primary chains, he now wanted to focus on the Stage 4 of the Verdant Cauldron Sutra.
Now, instead of opening all the twelve primary meridians at once and then focused on Stage 4 and Stage 5 of Verdant Cauldron Sutra, Liu Wei decided to alternate them was simply because he was afraid the System would suddenly force him to be drowned in debt as soon as he opened all the twelve primary meridians.
After all, he would still have to spend System Points in obtaining the Stage 2 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra.
The System did not disclose the amount, but he was certain it would drown him in debt.
As though sensing his thoughts, the System replied:
[You're overreacting. You didn't ask in the first place. It will only cost 1,000 System Points.]
Liu Wei's eyes widened.
He closed his eyes and shook his head.
He replied, 'You know what's better? To be drowned in debt as I invested my money into more important matters. I am a son of a business man for nothing.'
[Your choice.]
Liu Wei shrugged.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
He asked, 'Will you ask my permission first if I allow you to deduct my System Points?'
After all, he felt it would be a hassle to alternate in cultivating.
It would be better to focus one at a time.
The System replied,
[Yeah. You're overthinking it. In the first place, I wouldn't ask your permission if there was no need to. Readers might not like wasting words, you know.]
Liu Wei was taken aback.
Indeed, as a reader of a book himself, he did not want to read redundant sentences.
Asking for permission when a 'no' was not in the choices for most main characters really appeared to be redundant.
Liu Wei nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
He said, 'I trust you, System. I will open all the primary meridians at the moment.'
[As your System, I can't betray your trust.]
Liu Wei nodded.
Although there were times he doubted the System, he would never doubt him when the circumstances were not to be kidding around.
It might really affect their relationships greatly.
I know she knows I can tolerate her, but there is a limit.
At this moment, the demon took the chance and whispered to him, ever more loudly.
"You really are trusting her? You are already doubting her—time after time. You can't trust her when you are very serious. Come on. Don't. Just continue with what you planned earlier."
Liu Wei frowned.
He then recalled the Verdant Cauldron Sutra was in his secondary mind, where the demon resided before.
He grinned and shook his head.
If his speculation was true, that the demon might have more opportunity if he did not open all his primary chains and decided to focus on the Verdant Cauldron Sutra, then he might have been very lucky.
"You can't be so sure. The chances of having your primary chains opened would make you more vulnerable."
Liu Wei chuckled and didn't bother with it.
He has a thousand counterarguments with him but he decided not to bother.
After all, once he entertained him, the chances of providing him the opportunity to waver his heart and mind during cultivation would increase.
Hence, Liu Wei focused on opening the next primary chain.
It was the tenth chain—the Blood Abyss Chain.
It was related to his forehead and spiritual perception.
The gate that was required to be opened was the Gate of Blood Abyss.
Just remembering the effects once the Gate of Blood Abyss would be opened made him sneer.
It took only half an hour, even less than the previous ones, and finally connected the link to his Blood Dantian and forehead.
As expected, as soon as the Blood Abyss Chain was opened, the demon's whisper lessened.
After all, the Blood Abyss Chain strengthened his mental defense.
Furthermore, it granted him Blood Sense, enabling him to detect bloodlust or simply vitality nearby.
Liu Wei was already delighted to learn a detecting-related ability.
Yet there was another effect of opening the Blood Abyss Chain.
That made him delighted.
He has now attained the Stage 2 of the Blood Roar Technique, which was called the Crimson Howl.
