Chapter 73: Apt.i.tude Improvement! Lifespan Doubles!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The murder of Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi in the inner city caused a huge commotion in Blackrock City.
Under pressure, the Wu family conducted a screening of the entire Blackrock
City. Even the Li familys head, Li Fenglei, and the Chen Family Fort’s Fort Lord, Chen Xuan, personally went to the county office to cooperate with the investigation.
Some other Martial Masters who did not cultivate palm techniques and Force Tempering also went to the county office in order to prove their innocence.
Even the Zhang family and the Meng family alone did not have such a huge influence. The main reason was that the nature of the incident was too vile.
For a moment, it made the Blood Tempering Realm martial artists in the city jittery. They did not dare to run around at night.
Unfortunately, the ‘murderer’ was cultivating diligently every day under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Just like that, nearly three months pa.s.sed quickly.
Although the Zhang and Meng families still insisted on investigating, everyone knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the lower the chances of finding the murderer.
That evening, Han Zhao returned home.

“Tomorrow is the second day of October. It happens to be my 20th birthday, and it’s also the time when the [Late Bloomer] Trait takes effect.”
Han Zhao looked at his martial arts column and thought to himself.
In the past three months, he had stayed in the city and cultivated obediently. His various martial arts had improved significantly.
The progress of the Life Nurturing Technique increased from 2% to 8% of
Greater Mastery, increasing by 6%. On average, it increased by 2% a month.
After all, it was an upgraded version of the Life Nurturing Technique. The reason why he could have this speed was probably because the Vajra Technique had increased his apt.i.tude. At the same time, he did not lack money and stuffed all kinds of fish and meat into his mouth every day.
The cultivation of the Spirit Concealment Technique was the fastest and obtained the effect of concealing one’s aura.
The Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique had also been cultivated to the upper limit.
He didn’t cultivate the Vajra Technique. It hurt too much.
As for other martial arts such as the Blood Spirit Policy, the Bone Shrinking Technique, and the Sword Nurturing Technique, he had cultivated them to the upper limit long ago.
Recently, he did not have the time to specially cultivate. It was probably not easy to break through.
As for adding points to deduce, it was not the turn of these martial arts for the time being.
[65 Notification Fragments have been gathered. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?]
[Each synthesis will consume 40 Notification Fragments and 30 taels of gold…] “I’ll add points to the Vajra Technique first and increase my apt.i.tude.”
‘i l can change my train of thought for this simulation. Since the Anomaly has appeared in Blackrock City and Jade Wind City, there might be one in other cities. Let’s look for it!”
Before the simulation began, Han Zhao kept hinting in his heart that he wanted to find the Anomaly.
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
19 years old. You killed Zhang Tianwen and Meng Zhi and cultivated in the city for three months.]
20 years old. Zhu Kangsheng sent you the news that Qi Xing had appeared in Nine Links Town.]
[A year later, you found an Anomaly in Tiannan Mountain outside Jiayuan
City.]
[You barged in and wanted to stimulate the Yin Fiend Palm to break through to the Third Level by absorbing Yin energy.]
[When you left the Anomaly, you encountered a demon and were captured.]
[The demon became interested in you and forcefully injected the demon blood into your body. Your Blood Spirit Policy broke through on the spot, and your blood qi increased greatly.]
[Half a year later, you were sent to Yuan Chang County by the demon and landed in the hands of the great demon, the Heaven Fiend King. He used your body to conduct various experiments on the fusion of demon blood and fiend blood.]
[The Heaven Fiend King told you that as long as you could survive the experiment, he would return your freedom. At the same time, he would teach you all the demonic techniques he cultivated, giving you a chance to step into the Divine Power Realm in the future.]
[A year later, you exploded and died during the Heaven Fiend Kings experiment.]
“Demons do ‘scientific research’, right?!”
Looking at the information in the simulation, Han Zhao was stunned.
The content of the simulation this time basically did not change much, but there were some differences in time.
As he had already learned from the previous simulation that the Divine Sword Manor outside Jade Wind City was where the Anomalies were, he changed his train of thought and kept hinting that he should search for other Anomalies.
In the simulation, in order to cultivate the Yin Fiend Palm, he did not disappoint and successfully found another Anomaly.
However, he died a tragic death in the simulation this time. He had been captured by the great demon for human experiments.
“One in Blackrock City, one in Jade Wind City, and one in Jiayuan City. Don’t tell me there are Anomalies near every city?”
Han Zhao made a bold guess. [1: Obtain Trait (Not Selectable)] [2: Obtained attribute points]
[3: Obtain any part of the life experience.] [Current Balance: 230 taels of gold]
“Option 2.”
[Attribute Points +11]
“11 attribute points should be enough.”
Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up a wooden stick, and bit it in his mouth.
“Improve the Vajra Technique to the Greater Mastery stage.”
[Attribute Points: 11 -9 7]
In an instant, an indescribable pain filled Han Zhao’s entire body. He felt as if his entire body had been crushed by a hydraulic press. All the bones and tendons in his body were in intense pain.
Crack!
The wooden stick in his mouth was crushed by Han Zhao.
Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a second.
Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Greater Mastery 15%, Upgradeable;
Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 2, Bone Forging Level 1)
“Upgrade the Life Nurturing Technique.” After a while, Han Zhao decided to add the remaining attribute points to the Life Nurturing Technique.
According to the usual practice, he would break through the Life Nurturing Technique first to maximize his total blood qi. Then, he would obtain greater benefits after breaking through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough.
[Attribute Points: 7 -9 0]
“Huh?” Han Zhao picked up another wooden stick and bit it in his mouth. In the end, he realized that it did not hurt when he broke through to the Life Nurturing Technique.
Instead, it felt extremely comfortable and addictive.
Martial Arts: Life Nurturing Technique (Third Level Perfection 7%,
Upgradeable; Special Effect: Body Strengthening Level 8, Pure Yang Level 3, Qi Seeding Level 1, Life Extension 200 years)
“My lifespan has doubled?!”
Looking at the transformed Life Nurturing Technique, Han Zhao was shocked.
Other than the first two special effects, there was also an additional special effect.
“Qi Seeding? What is this?”
He circulated his Life Nurturing True Qi and gathered his true qi in his palm.
The originally green and white Life Nurturing True Qi had already become green and white and began to transform into pure white.
A dense aura of life appeared. In the past, this aura existed, but it was not as dense.
It was unknown if it was an illusion, but this true qi seemed to have transformed from an inanimate object to a living creature.
“It’s really developing towards nurturing life,” Han Zhao muttered and began to feel the increased blood qi in his body.
His blood qi increased by 50% again!
Although martial artists could only obtain an obvious increase in blood qi when they broke through for the first time, after cultivating a few more cultivation methods and overlapping them to break through, the total increase in blood qi was not to be underestimated.
After tomorrow, after cultivating for another three months, he would be able to know the actual effect of the increase in apt.i.tude through the comparison of cultivation progress.
After adapting to the increase in strength, he could go and deal with Qi Xing.
“With such powerful blood qi as support, my normal strength of one arm is close to 500 kilograms. Even a Force Tempering Martial Master who has just broken through is only so-so. The difference is that my Blood Imprint has not been completely transformed into Internal Force, and my usage technique is inferior to theirs.”
“After the saber and sword are reforged, I wonder if it will be difficult to kill a Force Tempering Martial Master?”
“There’s not much Yin energy left. I have to think of a way to farm the
Anomaly..”
