Chapter 688 - 658: Perception Power Increase

Now that he could focus completely on his advancement without holding back, Lin Xinghai didn’t hesitate for a second. He grabbed a Blood Bag from the platform beside him and tossed it into his mouth.

This time, after swallowing the Blood Bag, he immediately felt a difference.

Previously, after swallowing this Blood Qi Power, he first had to refine it, completely converting it into his own Blood Qi Power, and then guide it into his internal organs for tempering.

But now, as soon as he converted the energy into his own Blood Qi Power, he didn’t have to worry about the subsequent steps at all.

An attractive force would emerge from his internal organs, directly pulling the newly converted Blood Qi Power into them for storage.

This saved Lin Xinghai a great deal of effort. After all, the Blood Qi Power within the Blood Bags was already extremely pure; he only needed to circulate it once along the path of his Cultivation Technique to convert it completely.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xinghai’s speed of refining Blood Bags increased dramatically once again.

He could already refine one Blood Bag in 30 seconds, but now he had cut that time down to just 15 seconds.

To be honest, such a drastic improvement was a bit terrifying. It had directly doubled Lin Xinghai’s speed.

He could absorb four Blood Bags in a single minute, and the Blood Qi Power contained within one Blood Bag could increase his total Blood Qi by 10 points.

In other words, in just one minute, his total Blood Qi could increase by a full 40 points.

Over the course of an hour, that would be 2,400 points!

His current total Blood Qi was only 3,833 points. The amount he could increase in an hour was more than half of his total.

Moreover, the only reason his Blood Qi Power was so high was due to his Realm breakthrough. The difficulty of that was completely different from incrementally increasing his total Blood Qi bit by bit like this.

Back in the Blood Qi Realm, it had taken him a full month to raise his Blood Qi Power to 2,000 points.

But now, with Blood Bags, it wouldn’t even take an hour.

Just thinking about the difference made Lin Xinghai sigh with emotion. He felt more and more keenly how precious this opportunity was.

There was nothing more to be said. Lin Xinghai immediately began absorbing with all his might.

When Lin Xinghai suddenly accelerated, the other team members naturally noticed. Seeing him swallow a Blood Bag every 15 seconds made them incredibly envious.

More importantly, they could clearly feel the aura emanating from Lin Xinghai growing stronger and stronger as he continuously swallowed Blood Bags. It was as if a terrifying beast was slowly awakening inside him.

This hadn’t happened before, because Lin Xinghai had been using the Blood Qi Power to temper his internal organs, an internal change that didn’t manifest outwardly.

But now, he was increasing his total amount of Blood Qi Power, which was a completely different matter.

Even though he was already trying to hold back, the sheer speed and intensity of his improvement caused some of his aura to leak out, which was enough to fill everyone with alarm.

"Boss, can you convert all the Blood Qi Power from the Blood Bags you’re absorbing?" Little Fatty, who had been observing from the side for a while, finally couldn’t help but ask.

’If Lin Xinghai’s rapid absorption method didn’t cause any loss of this Blood Qi Power, that would be terrifying.’

Lin Xinghai had nothing to hide about it and simply nodded.

Seeing this, Little Fatty couldn’t help but gulp. "Then Boss, doesn’t that mean you can increase your total Blood Qi by 10 points with one Blood Bag, 40 points in a minute, and in an hour..."

As he spoke, Little Fatty felt his tongue getting tied, and his mind seemed to freeze up.

"2,400 points," Lin Xinghai finished the sentence for him.

The others were left speechless.

’They also had an unlimited supply of Blood Bags to absorb, but they could only increase their total Blood Qi by 60 points in an hour. The difference between them and Lin Xinghai was like heaven and earth!’

"Alright, don’t overthink it. You should also try to seize this opportunity to raise your total Blood Qi to over 1,000 points," Lin Xinghai said as he swallowed another Blood Bag.

Little Fatty immediately rallied his spirits, and the others were much the same. After spending so much time with Lin Xinghai, they had long since learned one thing: never compare yourself to him.

When compared to others, they still felt a great sense of superiority.

After all, under normal circumstances, raising one’s total Blood Qi to over 1,000 points would take at least a year or two.

But it was different now that they had this opportunity. For example, Little Fatty’s total Blood Qi was already approaching the 500-point mark.

So, if he could steadily increase his total Blood Qi by 60 points an hour, he would only need a little over eight hours to reach his goal.

Being able to compress one or two years of work into a single night was still something to be quite happy about.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghai had no time to pay attention to the others. As he continuously consumed Blood Bags, the moment his total Blood Qi broke through the 4,000-point mark, a cool sensation spread from his limbs and bones, then rushed straight up toward his head.

As this cool sensation entered his head, an extremely pleasant feeling filled his Perception. In this state, his Perception Power actually began to increase rapidly.

This scene left Lin Xinghai utterly astonished.

Everyone knew that Perception Power could only be enhanced during a Realm breakthrough. This was the first time his Perception Power had grown outside of a breakthrough state.

’Countless speculations instantly surfaced in Lin Xinghai’s mind, and he soon had an epiphany.’

’Back in the Blood Qi Realm, when increasing his upper limit of Blood Qi Power, his physical attributes would increase by a certain amount every time he broke through a 100-point threshold.’

’Now that he was in the Marrow Tempering Realm, there was clearly a similar benefit. Only this time, it wasn’t his physical attributes that increased, but his Perception Power.’

’Of course, the difficulty had also increased. In the Blood Qi Realm, he would get a boost to his physical attributes for every 100-point increase in Blood Qi Power.’

’But in the Marrow Tempering Realm, he had to increase his Blood Qi Power by a full 1,000 points to receive such a benefit.’

Of course, for Lin Xinghai, any benefit was a good thing, so he waited quietly. The process of his Perception Power increasing was also quite fast, stopping after just over a minute.

Lin Xinghai then extended his Perception Power and carefully checked. His Perception Range had expanded to 6,100 meters.

In other words, for every 1,000-point increase in his total Blood Qi, his Perception Range would expand by 100 meters.

’Although this wasn’t a huge amount for him, for any other Marrow Tempering Realm cultivator, it would be a massive improvement.’

’After all, both the Marrow Tempering Realm and the Blood Qi Realm were foundational stages, so there wouldn’t be any drastic increases in either physical attributes or Perception Power. An average cultivator at the Peak of the Marrow Tempering Realm would probably only have a Perception Range of about 1,000 meters.’

’As long as he could grasp this opportunity, he could definitely create a significant gap between himself and others in terms of Perception Power.’
