After obtaining the last part of "Blood Transformation Demon Body", Chen Yu focused on his cultivation, not neglecting his combat skill "Blood Demon Hand".
Meanwhile, the news of him becoming Young Master Weiâs follower gradually spread.
"Incredible, previously unknown, he defeated many strong opponents upon entering the second ring, rising to fame, and then caught the eye of Young Master Wei, gaining the opportunity in the Bloodthirsty Trial."
For some in the Blood Race, Chen Yuâs story is an inspirational tale of rapid rise.
More of the Blood Race, however, are focused on the Bloodthirsty Trial itself.
"Which of the three Young Ancestors will ultimately win?"
"Young Master Wei gave his last spot to Jin Yudong, but his cultivation is low, only displaying âBlood Transformation Demon Bodyâ, his techniques are too few. Overall, Young Master Weiâs chances of winning among the three Young Ancestors are still the lowest."
"After Iron Blood Venerable was defeated by Chen Yu, he was removed from the follower list by Young Master Gu and replaced with another."
"I think Long Sha Zuâs team is the strongest, especially with Fu Xue Mei under his command, who is said to be able to reach the Half-step Condensing Star Realm at any time, but has held back in order to seize this opportunity."
Young Master Wei Mansion.
"Young Ancestor, I heard that you gave the last spot to someone from the Late Stage of Sky Sea?"
A black-faced middle-aged man asked, his expression slightly displeased.
He had heard this from other followers and was told that Young Master Wei also promised Chen Yu other benefits, which made him somewhat unbalanced.
As the strongest follower here in Young Master Weiâs mansion, he didnât receive such treatment, so what made Chen Yu deserving of this?
"Thatâs right, although his cultivation is somewhat lacking, his foundation is solid, and his strength is remarkable. Even Iron Blood Venerable was defeated by him."
Young Master Wei replied calmly.
"I believe this person has some skills, but heâs too arrogant, isnât he? Demanding benefits from the Young Ancestor just to agree."
The black-faced middle-aged man spoke coldly.
He knew it was the Young Ancestor who proactively promised benefits, but he couldnât ask directly, so he blamed Chen Yu.
He wanted to know what benefits Young Master Wei gave Chen Yu, in order to use this as a reason to claim some interests for himself.
"No need to pursue this matter, the Bloodthirsty Trial is near, by then you will be teammates and must work together, help our Young Ancestor win."
Young Master Wei spoke with a calm expression.
In fact, upon reflection, he also felt strange, as if he was too friendly toward Chen Yu, even promising other benefits.
Clearly, this would make other followers feel unbalanced.
For example, the black-faced middle-aged man before him, obviously dissatisfied, seemed to harbor a sense of blame, though he dared not speak it outright.
"Hmph, if I didnât need you right now, with your attitude just now, I wouldnât spare you!"
Watching the black-faced middle-aged man leave, Young Master Wei snorted coldly, then closed the door and began his cultivation.
Ice Sun Venerateâs Mansion.
After learning about the outcome of Chen Yu and Iron Blood Venerableâs battle, Ice Sun Venerate was restless and exceedingly irritated.
"Grandfather, that brat Chen Yu, is now a follower of Young Ancestor."
One day, Zhong Long came running over.
Back then, Ice Sun Venerate said he wanted to deal with Chen Yu and wouldnât let him interfere.
But months passed, and Chen Yu instead thrived.
"I know!"
Ice Sun Venerate roared angrily, spewing a dark red icy storm; the entire hall turned into an ice palace, and Zhong Long once again became an ice stick.
Zhong Long realized he shouldnât have come.
Ice Sun Venerate was very agitated now, with Chen Yu being a follower of the Young Ancestor, also having the identity of a Blood Brewing Master, he could potentially surpass Ice Sun Venerate in the future.
Once Chen Yu finds out itâs him causing trouble in the dark, he will definitely retaliate in the future.
Unless Ice Sun Venerate reaches the level of Condensed Star King, otherwise, the future will be tough.
"Grandfather, the death rate in the Bloodthirsty Trial is not low, and Jin Yudongâs strength is considered the lowest among all the followers."
Zhong Long whispered, then offered a suggestion: "Why donât we bribe other strong people to get rid of Jin Yudong during the trial?"
"Idiot, shut up."
Ice Sun Venerate roared again.
This is the Bloodthirsty Trial, concerning the three Young Ancestors.
If such a thing were done, it would be offending Young Master Wei, which would be a hundred times worse than offending Chen Yu.
This kid really has well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
"Hope the steward can bring good news to this Venerate."
At this moment, Ice Sun Venerate hoped to catch some leverage on Chen Yu, so that he wouldnât fear Chen Yu in the future, or better yet, control him.
...
Chen Yu, inside his residence, seized the time to cultivate both "Blood Transformation Demon Body" and "Blood Demon Hand".
Cultivation of "Blood Transformation Demon Body" required a large amount of blood, but luckily, being in the Blood Race, it was relatively easy to obtain.
Previously, through accepting challenges, Chen Yu earned a lot of Blood Brew, which he could now lavishly spend.
In just twenty days, Chen Yu achieved the fourth layer of "Blood Transformation Demon Body".
Buzz! Hoo!
He activated the secret technique, a layer of bloody patterns immediately appeared on his body surface, more complex and vivid than before, emanating a powerful blood aura.
Boom!
Chen Yu fiercely swung his fist, causing a stormy roar, the entire chamber quaked.
"Approximately a fifty percent increase in power!"
Chen Yu nodded slightly. His physical strength was already incredibly formidable, with this additional fifty percent, he could easily shatter the True Yuan defense of someone at the peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm with bare hands. If it struck, even a Blood Race body would be crushed.
After testing the power of "Blood Transformation Demon Body", he continued to cultivate it along with "Blood Demon Hand" to strengthen his power.
The Bloodthirsty Trial had its dangers, and the three half-step Condensing Star Realm Young Ancestors were extraordinary in strength.
The half-step Condensing Star Realm of the Blood Race was stronger than that of the ordinary Human Race and Demon Race, with the Blood-sucking Clan descendants being even stronger.
One day, Young Master Wei sent a list.
It recorded the information about the three Young Ancestors and their followers, both allies and enemies.
Chen Yu focused on the three strongest followers within the camps of the three Young Ancestors.
The three of them are almost the strongest under the Half-step King level, their strength not to be underestimated.
The day before the Bloodthirsty Trial.
Chen Yu finished his training and closed his eyes to relax.
"Tomorrow is the Bloodthirsty Trial. After the trial ends, I must quickly earn enough Battle Merit Points to enter the first ring!"
Chen Yu already had a plan in mind.
He was undercover, facing no immediate danger, but he couldnât be complacent. Itâs best to leave as soon as possible.
Entering the first ring area requires ten thousand Battle Merit Points, which is an astronomical number for some of the Blood Race.
Even as a Blood Brewing Master, Chen Yu found it somewhat out of reach.
Unless he could elevate his blood brewing skills to another level.
But Chen Yu wasnât part of the Blood Race and had been here for only a short time. He became a Blood Brewing Master thanks to the Blood Crystal Flame.
To elevate his blood brewing skills to another level was extremely difficult, requiring a long time of study and research.
"Thatâs right, the mysterious heart can refine blood, concentrating it into pure Bloodline Power..."
Chen Yuâs eyes suddenly lit up, a bold idea popping into his mind.
Thinking of this, he took out a jar of blood, ready to give it a try.
"The process of blood brewing is to remove impurities, refine the blood, and then use a special method to concoct it into a flavor that the Blood Race likes... As for refining blood, the mysterious heart is the best at it."
Chen Yuâs face showed some excitement.
Actually, he should have thought of this long ago.
But Chen Yu always felt that blood brew wasnât very precious, nor did he think Blood Brewing Masters were that remarkable.
So Chen Yu never considered using the mysterious heart to craft blood brew.
It felt to him like using a priceless sword to cut vegetables.
Without much thought, Chen Yu placed the jar of blood with Bloodline Power in front of him.
Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!
A strange suction emanated from the heartâs center.
The blood in the jar boiled up instantly, forming a vortex, from which a stream of blood-red crystal emerged at the center.
Pop!
The blood-red crystal stream shimmered, and in a flash, darted towards Chen Yuâs heart.
At this moment.
Swish!
Chen Yu swiftly intercepted the blood-red crystal stream with a jade bottle.
"Itâs done!"
Chen Yu immediately sealed the jade bottle to prevent the power of the blood-red crystal stream from dispersing.
He shook the jade bottle, carefully observing the small pool of blood crystal liquid at the bottom.
"A whole jar of blood only refined into this little. If it were ordinary blood brew, it would at least fill this jade bottle!"
Next, Chen Yu followed the normal blood brew crafting steps to complete the production!
"Just this little, not sure how many Battle Merit Points it can exchange for."
If itâs too little, Chen Yu wouldnât use the mysterious heart for this again, always feeling itâs like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
In the morning, Chen Yu left the cave dwelling.
Today was the day for the Bloodthirsty Trial, held within the first ring.
Along the way, Chen Yu arrived at the Blood Vault and submitted the brewed blood brew.
Since it was early, it was soon Chen Yuâs turn for the blood brew to be appraised by the Blood Brewing Master.
"Just this little?"
A Blood Brewing Master shook the jade bottle in hand, frowning slightly.
But at the moment the bottleâs seal was opened, he sniffed a captivating fragrance that made his whole body quiver slightly.
"This aroma... "
He used his long fingernail to dip into it, taking a drop of blood onto his tongue.
"Wonderful! Delicious!"
The male Blood Brewing Master exclaimed twice, astonishing the other Blood Race members nearby.
He couldnât help but reach for another taste.
"Master Yu, what are you doing? According to the rules, you can only taste one drop for each blood brew appraisal. If you need a second drop to evaluate the blood brewâs value, it only shows your lack of experience to hold this position!"
A nearby Blood Brewing Master sneered.
Holding the same position, there could be no harmony between them.
"Hmph."
The male Blood Brewing Master stopped his fingers, snorting coldly, truthfully just wanting another taste.
"This bottle of blood brew requires a Blood Brew Master to personally appraise."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Blood Brewing Masters were all shocked.
Outside the Blood Vault, Chen Yu waited and waited, but no one came to report.
After a long time, a servant came running over, respectfully saying: "Master Jin, your blood brew needs a Blood Brew Master of master level to appraise. Please wait a moment."
"So, youâre saying my bottle of blood brew is very precious?"
Chen Yuâs face showed joy.
"I believe so."
The servant dared not promise.
"I still have to participate in the Bloodthirsty Trial. As for the Battle Merit Points that the bottle of blood brew can exchange for, just credit it to my name."
Chen Yu left a message and quickly departed.
Knowing the high value of the blood brew was enough; he still had to rush to the first ring area to participate in the Bloodthirsty Trial.
