From Blood Mage to Styx Ancestor

Chapter 9 Golden Bell Cover.pdf

On a deserted open space, two figures stood facing each other.

"Finally arrived! It was a long and difficult journey."

Along the way, they encountered incidents including but not limited to: thugs blocking the road, gang fights, and beautiful women asking for help.

This greatly shocked Modi, who felt for the first time the vibrant and flourishing state of Ningguo.

He suspected that if he hadn't been by Long Yutian's side, he wouldn't have encountered these things.

"Why do you look so used to it? Is this your daily routine?" He couldn't help but ask, seeing Long Yutian's relaxed expression.

"Is there a problem?" Long Yutian asked, scratching his head in confusion.

It's confirmed; it's all Long Yutian's fault.

Putting all those messy things out of his mind, Modi shook his head. "Never mind, it's nothing. Let's get started."

As the saying goes, "No fight, no friendship," and he firmly believed in this saying, so he decided to beat up Long Yutian first in order to get closer to him.

"This time, should using half my strength be enough?"

With so much flesh piled up, according to the game's level system, Modi is undoubtedly at level 11 to 12. Although he doesn't have a superhuman seed, he has the combat power of an ordinary superhuman.

To deal with a level 5 to 7 Long Yutian, 50% of your strength is enough, let alone this is just a sparring match.

Across from him, Long Yutian stared intently at him, not daring to make a move.

Just a moment ago, he felt as if the person opposite him had changed, and he also felt a bloody smell in his nostrils.

He dared not be careless, and a sense of regret began to creep into his heart.

I thought that no matter how strong Modi was, he was no match for him, but now it seems that he is the real challenger.

Will it win?

Recalling his late master's teachings, Long Yutian suddenly awoke.

"When did I become so long-winded?"

When he first came down the mountain, he was fearless and never bowed his head, not even when meeting the CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate.

But now, he's showing fear before even starting the fight; this isn't like him at all.

"I've been ruined by money and beauty, and I've become so despondent."

He realized that he had been corrupted by power and wealth, which had clouded his unwavering heart for martial arts. Fortunately, he was awakened in time, and it wasn't too late.

"Power and wealth are merely tools; from this day forward, I can no longer covet them."

The gloom in my heart was swept away, replaced by boundless fighting spirit.

Long Yutian, brimming with confidence and his aura rising steadily, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mo Di and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time rediscovering my passion for martial arts."

Yes, in his eyes, Modi had become a senior who saw through his problems and used this method to provoke and enlighten him.

If that's the case, then he won't disappoint his seniors!

What he didn't know was that Modi was completely confused at that moment.

In his eyes, he had merely adjusted his breathing rate to prepare for the upcoming battle, but Long Yutian on the other side seemed to have understood something, and his aura continued to rise.

If Long Yutian was in the range of level 5 to 7 just now, he has now stabilized at level 7.

The fight hasn't even started yet, how come someone suddenly becomes incredibly powerful right from the start?

Sure enough, this is the typical overpowered protagonist.

"war!"

With a battle roar, Long Yutian charged toward Mo Di without warning, his right fist clenched and unleashed.

The internal force is attached to the fist, generating even greater power. If an ordinary person were hit by this punch, he would either die or be seriously injured.

But this only applies to ordinary people.

"Good momentum, but too little strength."

Mo Di caught the punch and remained standing firmly in place, while Long Yutian in front of him blushed.

"Pfft!" Long Yutian spat out a mouthful of blood, his breathing became disordered, and his aura suddenly plummeted.

In that instant, the moment his fist was caught, a powerful backlash traveled through his arm and throughout his body, even causing him internal injuries.

"I lost."

Bring your fists together and clasp them in a fist salute.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Although he said this, Long Yutian's heart was already in turmoil.

Having just regained his martial arts heart, he has stabilized at the third stage of the Acquired Realm, the Qi Gathering Realm, and his internal energy is transforming into true qi.

Even against those renowned martial arts masters, he believed they wouldn't be able to block his punch so easily, let alone cause the force to backfire on him.

"May I ask, senior, have you already reached the Innate Realm?"

Having mustered the courage to ask such a question, Long Yutian received no reply. Then he saw Mo Di point a finger at him.

A flash of blood appeared, and then his internal injuries healed rapidly.

"This, true qi being released externally?" Long Yutian's eyes widened, becoming increasingly certain of his guess.

Senior Modi is probably not a college student, but rather an old monster at the Innate Realm who has mastered the art of preserving youth.

Pretending to be a college student, they're probably just here to experience life and wander the world.

"That must be it!" He was impressed by his own astonishing deduction.

"Thank you, senior."

Looking at his polite and respectful manner, Mo Di couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

They used to call each other "bro," but now he has achieved a leap in seniority, jumping directly to the "senior" level.

"I've healed all your internal injuries, as well as some other miscellaneous hidden injuries."

He wasn't lying to Long Yutian; with ample blood and energy, [Crimson Healing] could indeed achieve that.

However, during the treatment, he used the blood and qi that entered Long Yutian's body to "see" Long Yutian's entire body.

Although not as clear as an autopsy, it allowed Mordy to come into contact with a new energy and record its trajectory.

Now, won't the theories of meridians and acupoints that I've just learned come in handy?

Long Yutian was unaware that his cultivation technique's energy flow path had been almost entirely stolen, and he actually had to thank Mo Di.

He knew he had hidden injuries, or rather, which martial artist who hadn't reached the Innate Realm would dare say they didn't have hidden injuries?

The opportunity to have a senior in the Innate Realm help heal hidden injuries is extremely rare and hard to come by.

"You enlightened me and healed my hidden injuries. I must find a way to repay this great kindness."

Long Yutian racked his brains, trying to think of what he could do to repay Modi.

Money? Vulgar, too vulgar. A master like him would definitely not care about that.

Our sect's martial arts? No, Master instructed that they can only be passed down to our descendants. He would never betray his own sect.

"Oh, right, I remember finding a miraculous martial arts manual at a street stall once, no less powerful than the one I practice. Unfortunately, it conflicts with my cultivation method, so we can't practice together. But I could give it to you, senior."

Having made up his mind, Long Yutian took out his phone and added Mo Di as a friend.

Then I sent him a PDF document.

"Golden Bell Cover.pdf?" Mo Di's expression was strange.

Sure enough, times are changing. Nowadays, martial arts practitioners don't need to carry secret manuals when they go out; a mobile phone is enough.

"That's right, this is a martial art that I obtained by chance. Unfortunately, it conflicts with my cultivation method and we cannot practice it together. After thinking it over, I think I'd better give it to you, senior."

Long Yutian smiled and said, "Only in your hands, senior, can this technique reach its greatest value."

Wow, I never expected that such a powerful protagonist would turn into a treasure-giving child.

Mo Di opened the Golden Bell Cover PDF and started reading it in front of Long Yutian.

The annotations were already prepared, so Mo Di read them quite quickly and finished reading them in no time.

This "Golden Bell Cover" has absolutely nothing to do with Buddhism; it's just called that.

Moreover, it is a martial art that cultivates both internal and external strength, allowing one to develop internal power and temper the body.

As he tried to circulate his energy along its path, a layer of golden light immediately appeared on Mo Di's body.

"This, this is how you mastered it?" Long Yutian gasped. "As expected of a senior in the Innate Realm, so terrifying."

"I always feel like we've switched roles; I should be the one who's shocked."

After dissipating the golden light from his body, Modi added, "Besides, I haven't really mastered it; I was just trying it out."

That's the truth, after all, he didn't have any internal energy; what he just did was a simulation using his blood and qi.

In reality, he should have been radiating blood, but in order not to frighten Long Yutian, he cast a [Light Illumination] spell on himself.

"The first step in martial arts in this world is to open the lower dantian to store internal energy, but this internal energy conflicts with my blood and qi, so it needs to be modified..."

He turned to look at Long Yutian, and he was even more satisfied with him.

Unfortunately, his blood mage class was not suited to this world, as there wasn't enough ether for mages to mage mage to mage. Otherwise, he would have liked to take on an apprentice to assist him.

The mage system doesn't work well in this environment, but the knight system is a different story.

He happened to have a modified version of the Frostwolf Knight Body Tempering Technique, which required less ether and no extraordinary blood.

This can be considered a preliminary test version of the [Frostblood Tempering Technique], and it can be sent out.

Since he secretly learned other people's skills and accepted their gifts, it wouldn't be right for him not to teach them something.

"Come here," Mo Di beckoned to Long Yutian, "I have a technique called [Ice Profound Force], remember it well."

After saying that, he cast a sleep spell on Long Yutian, who was caught off guard, causing him to fall unconscious.

He unleashed the evil magic etched into the Wendigo bloodline, its target naturally the peacefully sleeping Long Yutian.

A nightmare he had meticulously prepared was implanted into Long Yutian's body, containing the things Long Yutian least wanted to face: textbooks and exams.

The textbook contains information about a modified version of the Frostwolf Knight Body Tempering Technique, and the exam also covers this.

He must pass an exam within a specified time after learning the body-strengthening technique in order to escape the nightmare; otherwise, the nightmare will restart.

If his mind were strong enough, he could break the deadlock with brute force, but he clearly couldn't.

"Alright, start the timer. Let's see how long it takes you to get out."

Modi sat cross-legged beside him, instantly entering a meditative state, and began his daily meditation.

The meditation method he used was still the [Greta's Blood Feast Meditation Method], which could absorb ether and convert it into magic power, while simultaneously tempering his own spirit.

Due to the low etheric environment of this world, meditation was not very effective, so Modi switched to practicing body tempering techniques in the middle of the night.

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Long Yutian suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and shouted:

"Pass it!"

A few seconds after he shouted, he looked at the empty space in front of him and came to his senses.

He subconsciously activated the [Ice Profound Force], and a wisp of cold mist surged from his hand, hitting the lawn and freezing the morning dew.

"This, this is real?" Long Yutian never expected that the strange cultivation technique in the exam nightmare was actually the real thing.

"Of course! It seems you've already mastered the basics of [Ice Profound Force]." Mo Di walked up from behind him.

"So that nightmare... I mean the dream, was actually your doing, senior?"

Long Yutian once again refreshed his understanding of the Innate Realm, realizing that he had underestimated this Senior Mo.

Seeing that Modi nodded without speaking, he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Modi.
