Chapter 322: The Use of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bee, Forced Blood Collection

Next, Gu Yuexi entered a state of complete seclusion.

She set up multiple layers of Arrays in her dorm room and began to focus all her energy on absorbing the Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal.

Meanwhile, Chu Sheng wasn’t idle either—

He had to hurry up and absorb the Qi Blood Crystal Balls he’d collected from the bee swarm to break through to the Sixth-Grade Realm!

Unlike Gu Yuexi, however, he didn’t need to go into seclusion.

He could just pull a Qi Blood Crystal Ball out of his Lifebound Space and start sucking it down like a juice box!

One Qi Blood Crystal Ball contained 10,000 Qi Blood.

And with Chu Sheng’s current constitution, he could absorb 30,000 at once.

Not only that, but the improvement in his constitution had also increased his digestion speed a bit.

So, Chu Sheng pulled out three Qi Blood Crystal Balls, and then...

SLURP!

SLURP!

SLURP!

[DING! You have absorbed a Qi Blood Crystal Ball! Qi Blood +10,000! Estimated digestion time: 1 hour. Upon completion, you will receive an estimated 1,000 Evolution Points.]

[DING! You have absorbed a Qi Blood Crystal Ball! Qi Blood +10,000! Estimated digestion time: 1 hour. Upon completion, you will receive an estimated 1,000 Evolution Points.]

[DING! You have absorbed a Qi Blood Crystal Ball! Qi Blood +10,000! Estimated digestion time: 1 hour. Upon completion, you will receive an estimated 1,000 Evolution Points.]

...

As the crystal balls were digested one by one, Chu Sheng’s Qi Blood Value rose crazily.

And then...

He had nothing to do!

30,000 Qi Blood would take three hours to digest. It would be the same when he absorbed the other Qi Blood Crystal Balls later.

’So... what should I do with all this digestion time?’

Chu Sheng thought for a moment.

’Right now, my Qi Blood and Spiritual Realm are both getting close to the requirements for my next full evolution.’

’The thing I’m lacking most is actually Evolution Points.’

’So, where can I get more Evolution Points?’

There were three main sources of Evolution Points.

First, absorbing blood. Digesting blood yields Evolution Points.

Second, absorbing Spiritual Plants. This grants Realm Power and Evolution Points at the same time.

Third, absorbing the High-Level Energy of the Alien Races. This was the best method, as it provided a large amount of both Mental Power and Evolution Points.

’There are definitely no Alien Races in Kyoto, so I’ll have to figure something out with the first two options.’

’Absorbing Spiritual Plants... Hehe, maybe I could consider the Qin Family’s treasury. Unfortunately, the Reconnaissance Louse I sent out was actually discovered by that Qin Wudao.’

’As for absorbing Qi Blood...’

’I’ll just have to go fleece the sheep in the other Secret Realms!’

’Jing University has ten Secret Realms!’

’Since I’ve already fleeced Secret Realm Nine, I’ll just find another sheep to fleece!’

Chu Sheng’s eyes lit up. He was a man of action.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the dormitory building.

...

「The entrance to Secret Realm Eight.」

It was a huge plaza, bustling with people coming and going—much livelier than Secret Realm Nine.

After all, after the major incident in Secret Realm Nine, it had been temporarily closed, forcing students to divert to other Secret Realms.

Chu Sheng didn’t barge right in.

Although his strength had greatly increased, the entrance to the Secret Realm had detection Arrays. If he forced his way in, he would definitely trigger an alarm.

’I need a "long-term meal ticket"... no, a "hitchhiker’s pass."’

’Any student who wants to enter a Secret Realm needs academic credits, right?’

’But I don’t!’

’I just need to revert to my Primitive Form, hide on someone, and "hitch a ride" inside.’

As luck would have it!

Just then, a tall, beautiful female student with long hair was walking toward the entrance, laughing and chatting with her companion.

’You’re the one!’

Chu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

’This girl isn’t just pretty, her aura is also pure. You can tell she takes good care of herself.’

’At least she’s not like Qin Wudao, with hair full of grease!’

’Most importantly, that thick, wavy, jet-black hair of hers is a natural hiding spot!’

’Instant Teleportation!’

Chu Sheng recited silently in his mind, locking onto his target.

SWISH!

A flicker of spatial fluctuation.

However.

Perhaps because his Qi Blood had increased too quickly recently, his control had slipped a little.

This Instant Teleportation... was off by just a tiny bit.

He had been aiming for the depths of her hair.

But instead...

SPLAT.

Chu Sheng felt as if he had crashed into a ball of cotton that was extremely soft, warm, and elastic.

Immediately after, a faint, sweet fragrance wafted over him.

’Where... where the hell did I end up? It’s so pale...’

’A mistake, a complete mistake!’

’But...’

’This "safe house" seems even harder to be discovered in than her hair, doesn’t it?’

’Then I’ll stay here!’

’Since I’m already here, I might as well make myself at home!’

Without the slightest psychological burden, Chu Sheng found a comfortable position, hooked his six legs, and latched on securely to the lace trim.

"Let’s go, we’re entering the Secret Realm."

The female student didn’t notice anything amiss and stepped into the Teleportation Array with her companion.

BZZZZ—

A flash of light.

...

「Inside Secret Realm Eight.」

The environment here was completely different from Secret Realm Nine.

Secret Realm Nine was a desolate landscape of Gobi desert and caves.

But Secret Realm Eight was a lush, vibrant, primeval forest!

Towering ancient trees blotted out the sun, strange flowers and exotic grasses were everywhere, and the air was filled with dense Spiritual Qi and the fresh scent of flora.

’What a great place!’

Peeking through the gap in the clothing, Chu Sheng saw the scenery outside and was overjoyed.

’This environment is practically tailor-made for my Insect Race army!’

’Especially those Bloodthirsty Demon Bees!’

’The forest is their home turf!’

He waited until the female student and her companion found a spot to rest and lowered their guard slightly.

Chu Sheng silently slipped out of that "tender trap," instantly teleported away, and arrived at a hidden location.

"Come out, my little ones!"

With a thought, the Nether Flame Insect Nest opened!

BZZZZZZ—!!!

In an instant, countless black dots swarmed out from the Insect Nest!

Not a few hundred, not a few thousand.

But a full... ten thousand!

And this was just the first wave!

To avoid causing too much of a commotion, Chu Sheng didn’t release his entire army of two hundred and sixty thousand.

Ten thousand, scattered throughout this massive forest, was just right.

"Listen up!"

Chu Sheng floated in mid-air, issuing commands to the swarm of Fifth-Grade and Fourth-Grade Bloodthirsty Demon Bees.

His goal was to have these Bloodthirsty Demon Bees collect blood from the Demon Beasts, just like collecting nectar!

"You have only one mission today—get money! Er, no, get blood!"

"But this forest is our ’pasture.’ We need to practice sustainable development!"

"If you see any young, don’t touch them!"

"If you see any pregnant ones, don’t touch them!"

"If you see an adult male... heheh, drain ’em for all they’re worth! But don’t actually kill them. Just drain them half to death and leave them with a breath of life so they can recover. Then we can drain them again next time!"

"This is called—recycling! Got it?"

Although these Bloodthirsty Demon Bees weren’t very intelligent, they followed Chu Sheng’s orders with absolute obedience.

At Chu Sheng’s command.

Ten thousand Bloodthirsty Demon Bees transformed into ten thousand black streaks of death and instantly dispersed into the vibrant forest!

A "mandatory blood drive" targeting the native inhabitants of Secret Realm Eight had officially begun!
