Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

After Lu Sheng tried out his fire-spray ability, he completely grasped the state of this body.

"For now, it seems that the martial arts of the Human Federation clearly do not suit the exotic beasts in the Beast Realm."

"Just like me, the exotic beasts in the Beast Realm rely on various supernatural abilities—such as my current fire-spray ability—to engage in combat, along with their inherently strong physical bodies."

"However, this method is somewhat crude."

"If it were someone else practicing the Celestial Demon Technique who descended into the Beast Realm, they might not know what to do. But for me..."

Lu Sheng smiled slightly.

"With the system panel's solidified ability, I can completely tailor a martial art specifically for this lizard's body using my essence as a seventh-level cosmic life form!"

"But the prerequisite... is to survive this dangerous period. With just the initial stage of first rank cultivation, surviving in the Beast Realm is truly difficult!"

Lu Sheng surveyed the surroundings. Despite nightfall, this world was evidently more dangerous compared to the Human Federation or even the Martial God World.

Fortunately, perhaps due to the arrival of those giant beasts today, the other exotic beasts in this area fled in panic, and there were currently no other exotic beasts nearby.

Lu Sheng controlled the lizard's body, surveying the area for a place to hide.

Eventually, Lu Sheng discovered a large tree hole, which had been hollowed out by something unknown, just enough to accommodate him. So Lu Sheng decided to hide inside it.

At the same time, he began using the remaining power of the Martial God Blood Stone to continuously heal his physical injuries and strengthen his body.

He also started examining this body, trying to find more clues that could lead to a better understanding of this world and even the creation of martial arts suitable for the lizard form.

Quickly, a night passed.

Inside the tree hole, Lu Sheng lay prone, with red glows shimmering across his skin. As the glows flickered, Lu Sheng's aura grew more formidable.

A moment later, Lu Sheng opened his eyes, his aura rising from the initial stage of the first rank to the middle stage.

Even the body length increased from twenty centimeters to thirty centimeters as Lu Sheng's cultivation level rose.

Although still small, its combat power was significantly stronger than before.

"Indeed, due to the influence of those giant beasts, this area is temporarily safe. After all, exotic beasts have awakened intelligence and possess a natural avoidance of danger."

"In this region, the only ones left are weaker exotic beasts or ordinary creatures that have not awakened intelligence, like the predecessor of this lizard body!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, and his gaze fell upon the void before him, where the system panel had undergone a slight change.

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Race: Forest Lizard (Red Variant)]

[Realm: First Rank (32/100)]

[Fire Spray: (10/100)]

[Bloodline Purity: (90/100)]

The system panel now displayed a so-called bloodline purity.

Lu Sheng discovered this bloodline purity last night while examining the lizard body's inner workings, detecting a special bloodline power inside.

This bloodline power was faint but gave Lu Sheng an extremely unique feeling.

For this reason, Lu Sheng investigated the bloodline power's condition extensively last night.

"According to my perception feedback, the source of this bloodline likely comes from an ancestor-level existence of this lizard body."

"Though faint, the source is extremely powerful, possibly a seventh-level exotic beast."

"Let's call this seventh-level exotic beast the Lizard Ancestor for now. The bloodline purity of the lizard body I occupy has reached seventy."

"But after my arrival, the Martial God Blood Stone's modifications increased the lizard body's bloodline purity to ninety."

"Although there is a bloodline power tracing back to a seventh-level exotic beast, within the lizard's body, there are various mixed bloodlines from interbreeding and mutations among lizards, forming the predecessor of this lizard body."

Lu Sheng analyzed the system panel in front of him, reminiscing about the terrifying giant beasts he witnessed yesterday.

"Besides this body containing suspected seventh-level exotic beast bloodline, the giant beasts from yesterday exhibited similar bloodline power fluctuations."

"However, the bloodlines within those exotic beasts were extraordinarily pure and singular, becoming more evident with higher cultivation levels."

"This suggests that the cultivation methods of exotic beasts in the Beast Realm might be connected to the bloodlines of each beast."

"Or, their cultivation or evolution methods could primarily be a bloodline-focused evolution pathway!"

"Purify the bloodline power, discard those mottled and weak bloodlines, so as to truly return to the ancestry and become an existence akin to the source of the bloodline."

"Even to give birth to new bloodline power, surpass the ancestors, and achieve uniqueness!"

Lu Sheng said, his eyes slightly squinted, while a brainstorm surged in his mind.

"If that's the case, using the bloodline as a foundation, we can borrow some things from the Bloodline Martial Artists in Star River University."

"There are also some martial arts related to bloodline power within the Human Federation that could be borrowed!"

With that in mind, Lu Sheng's consciousness instantly returned to his physical body.

The physical body opened up the permission library of Star River University, seeking some information about Bloodline Martial Artists and martial arts related to bloodlines, and began to browse through them.

By relying on the Two Levels of Dao Insights, as well as the essence of a seventh-grade Cosmic Life, Lu Sheng quickly processed and understood the data of Bloodline Martial Artists and bloodline martial arts.

In just a short time, a unique martial art had already been outlined in Lu Sheng's mind.

The seventh-grade Cosmic Life is already considered advanced Cosmic Life. For beings of this level, creating a Basic Martial Art isn't very difficult and can be easily accomplished.

As this particular martial art related to bloodlines took shape in Lu Sheng's mind, a martial art panel quickly popped up in the system interface within his Beast Realm lizard clone's vision.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng decided to name this martial art "Dragon Transformation Technique."

[Name: Lu Sheng]

[Race: Forest Lizard (Red Exotic Species)]

[Realm: First Level (32/100)]

[Fire Spray: (10/100)]

[Bloodline Purity: (90/100)]

[Dragon Transformation Technique: LV1 (1/100)]

Lu Sheng looked at the system panel before him, and his lips curved into a smile.

"Indeed, it succeeded. By using the martial arts of Bloodline Martial Artists and those related to bloodlines as a foundation, one can also create martial arts suited to the physique of Exotic Beasts in the Beast Realm."

"I'll tentatively regard that lizard progenitor as a dragon, gradually strengthening its bloodline, evolving a unique true self bloodline, ultimately achieving a true transformation into a dragon, becoming akin to a giant dragon!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly.

"However, the bloodline must be carefully chosen. The ordinary lizard's own bloodline cannot be considered mainstream, and those weak and mottled bloodlines must also be eliminated!"

"Only the bloodline of the Martial God Blood Stone can become my mainstream bloodline. Through the Martial God Blood Stone's own bloodline, I will devour other bloodline powers to strengthen myself."

Saying this, Lu Sheng closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Technique, further mastering his physical body and enhancing his strength.

However, Lu Sheng didn't cultivate for too long before he reopened his eyes, faint traces of helplessness flickering in his gaze.

"The energy within the Martial God Blood Stone is completely exhausted. To continue cultivating, other resources must be found."

No matter which world one is in, cultivating to strengthen oneself requires the assistance of resources; otherwise, relying solely on the energy between heaven and earth, one cannot become a strong figure in this world in a timely manner.

However, in this world, the best resources come from other Exotic Beasts.

Exotic Beasts within the Beast Realm typically contain ample bloodline power. By preying on other Exotic Beasts and ordinary creatures, absorbing the bloodline power within them, one can strengthen his own capabilities.

"It seems... it's time for the first hunt!"

Lu Sheng smiled, though a certain eagerness also glimmered in his eyes.

After all, as it's his first experience viewing the world from an Exotic Beast's perspective, Lu Sheng finds everything quite novel.

Lu Sheng crawled out of the tree hole, released his perception, and searched for suitable hunting targets around him.

Soon, a small bird came into Lu Sheng's vision, and upon seeing this bird, an intense hunting instinct awoke within him—there was a strong urge to hunt the bird.

"Hmm? Such a strong urge to hunt over a mere ordinary bird? It seems this ordinary lizard previously considered little birds as its food."

Lu Sheng murmured to himself, and promptly began inching towards the small bird, bit by bit.

However, just as Lu Sheng approached the bird, it suddenly seemed startled and, with a flap of its wings, soared into the sky.

Lu Sheng watched the bird fly away helplessly; with just a First Level strength, he couldn't yet manage to hit aerial targets.

"Though I've mutated and acquired fire spray abilities, the red skin is far too conspicuous, making it impossible to camouflage."
