NOVEL NEXT Chapter 290: Surprises Galore
"The 'Blood God Continuation Technique' is one of the many secret techniques of the Blood God Sect. Once mastered, one can reattach limbs at will, even regenerate severed limbs.
However, regenerating or reattaching severed limbs is but one of the important functions of this secret technique. Its most crucial role in combat is to secure victory through deception.
As documented in the 'Blood God Continuation Technique Cultivation Experience,' once one has achieved a high proficiency, it is possible in real combat to feign death by decapitation, and when the enemy approaches, launch a surprise attack to kill them, taking them completely off guard and thus greatly increasing the chance of victory.
In real combat, one may sacrifice any limb or even vital parts of the body to paralyze the enemy and seize the opportunity to win.
If the Blood God Continuation Technique is practiced to great success, one can even pretend to be beheaded by a single slash.
In the minds of most people, being decapitated certainly means death.
But as soon as you approach the head or limbs, you would be subject to a sudden attack.
After slaying the enemy, the Blood God Continuation Technique can even reattach the head.
This left Xu Jin looking extremely shocked.
In a TV drama he watched in a previous life, Shen Gongbao's 'bring back the head, bring back the head' was one of the most mysterious scenes of his childhood.
A head can grow back after being dropped?
Is this really the work of immortals?
Unexpectedly, Xu Jin saw it here, within the secret technique of the Blood God Sect.
The head, once dropped, can indeed grow back.
In an instant, Xu Jin reminded himself that in future battles, whether against the Blood God Sect or other experts, after decapitating someone with one slash, he must make sure to attack again!
Attack again!
Attack again!
This was Xu Jin's warning to himself.
But what Xu Jin cared most about was the Blood God Continuation Technique's ability to regenerate limbs.
If he could obtain the Blood God Continuation Technique, would that mean Ning Yuchan's legs could be healed?
And Ying Ge, who lost both legs and an arm, leaving only his upper body and a single arm, could he be restored to his original state?
What Xu Jin wanted to know most now were the cultivation requirements or methods of the Blood God Continuation Technique.
He hoped they were not unattainable.
Regrettably, the Jade only recorded the cultivation experiences of the Blood God Continuation Technique, and mentioned the methods of practice only in a few words without a complete cultivation method.
It was uncertain whether the other two Jades, enhanced with seals of the Blood God Sect, contained the Blood God Continuation Technique.
It seemed Xu Jin would have to pay special attention to the Blood God Sect in the future.
He would need to find a way to capture believers of the Blood God Sect and see if he could unlock the Blood God Jade sealed with the Blood God's Son's Talisman, or perhaps learn the practice methods of the Blood God Continuation Technique from the captured believers.
This filled Xu Jin with joy.
The greatest gain from defeating Blood God's Son Fu Ying was learning of the existence of the Blood God Continuation Technique.
Now he had a clear direction for his search.
In the next instant, Xu Jin's thoughts lightly shifted, and he appeared in the Star-picking Secret Realm.
[Challenge]
For Xu Jin, who was now facing Copper Star and Silver Star, the challenges were a breeze.
With a mere wave of his hand, he successfully challenged and obtained both the Copper Star and Silver Star.
[Challenge Gold Star Level Heart Demon]
In the next moment, as starlight transformed, a Heart Demon, identical to Xu Jin and with a cultivation level of the Fifth Rank First Level, appeared before him.
Almost immediately upon appearing, the Heart Demon's body, just like Xu Jin's, displayed the Golden Bell.
But clearly, it wasn't the Fish Curtain Golden Bell.
It was just the ordinary Rain Curtain Golden Bell.
It paled in comparison to Xu Jin's Fish Curtain Golden Bell, which was supported by the Eighth Tier Lower Swimming Fish Star Pattern.
The next instant, Breaking Evil erupted.
The Flame Burst, based on the foundation of the Dazzling Purple Skyfire, smashed the Heart Demon's Rain Curtain Golden Bell.
However, the Heart Demon quickly regained consciousness under the bombardment of Breaking Evil.
One after another, dazzling purple Golden Lotuses suddenly bloomed and burst open.
The Soul-shaking Golden Lotus.
As the Golden Lotuses burst in succession, the figure of the Heart Demon was engulfed in the purple flames of the Golden Lotus!
Challenge successful.
Easy.
Easier than Xu Jin had imagined.
At the same time, Xu Jin also grasped the rule of the Heart Demon's strength within the Star-picking Secret Realm.
The Divine Soul Cultivation and Star Power Cultivation were fixed.
Additionally, the Heart Demon could replicate the Star Patterns Xu Jin knew.
But such replication was merely superficial.
For instance, Xu Jin mastered the Fire Origin Star Pattern, and although the Heart Demon replicated it, what was copied was merely the Fire Origin Star Pattern. There was nothing beyond it.
The Heart Demon could not replicate what Xu Jin knew like the Dazzling Purple Skyfire or the Soul Burning Sky Fire.
The Heart Demon copied only the Fire Origin Star Pattern, and the rank of this Star Pattern was likely determined by the Heart Demon's tier when the Star Tower generated the Secret Realm.
Judging by the Heart Demon's performance, its skill with the Fire Origin Star Pattern wouldn't exceed the Sixth Tier Upper, and most likely it was Sixth Tier Lower.
Similarly, Break Evil was replicated, but only in name, not in rank.
Besides, Xu Jin's own developed exclusive Star Skills, such as the Soul-shaking Golden Lotus and Shock Dream, had not been learned by the Heart Demon yet.
It seems the so-called replication of the Heart Demon had its limits.
One Gold Star was gained.
Then, Xu Jin began to challenge the Gold Star Level Gatekeepers.
When challenging Gold Star Level Gatekeepers, Xu Jin fought even more casually.
His main purpose was no longer just to win and obtain Gold Stars but to hone his combat skills.
Expert Gatekeepers like Gold Level Star Gatekeepers were not common sparring partners.
In the quarter of an hour that followed, Xu Jin used the Gold Star Level Gatekeepers as sparring partners to fully master the newly acquired Primordial Magnetic Force.
Most surprising to Xu Jin was that the Earth Elemental Magnet could affect the speed of his opponents.
Within a hundred-meter radius centred on Xu Jin, the influence of the Earth Elemental Magnet reigned.
