7 [7] Blood Guiding Art (Please Favorite and Recommend)_1

```

No.2 Middle School of Da Peng City, Class 17 of Senior Year Three.

Pei Jinye purposefully took a longer way to school, hoping to trigger the strange sensation he had felt the night before, but unfortunately, he didn't.

He stepped into the classroom right as the bell for class rang.

"Brother Ye," his chubby deskmate gestured for him to come over.

As Pei Jinye walked over and sat down, the chubby boy suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Ye, why do I feel like you're a bit different today?"

"Really?" Pei Jinye looked over nonchalantly.

The chubby kid leaned back for a better look and then shook his head, "Can't quite put my finger on it, but you seemed a bit down before, and now you seem so much more spirited... Entering concentration really does wonders."

Pei Jinye: "..."

He guessed it might be because his Vitality Value and physical strength had increased, causing a significant change in his essence, qi, and spirit.

In his past life, there was a belief that working out could strengthen the body's organs and make one appear younger.

Logically, it was impossible for such intense exercise to show effects so quickly within a day, but under the fusion of two Attribute Light Groups, his body was undergoing special changes.

"Brother Ye, are you free tomorrow? It's Wang Jing's birthday. She was too shy to ask you herself, so she asked me to do it," the chubby kid said with a sly grin.

"I'm sure of it, that girl has a crush on you," he claimed with confidence.

Pei Jinye looked up and saw a girl with a ponytail immediately turn her head to avoid his gaze and sit up straight.

He shook his head and said casually, "I've got something on tomorrow; I can't make it."

The chubby kid couldn't help but feel it was a pity.

After the first period ended, the chubby kid went over to Wang Jing, and they whispered for a while. Wang Jing immediately turned her head to look at Pei Jinye, but he was lying on his desk, resting up.

Soon, the chubby kid came back and whispered into Pei Jinye's ear, "I've told her, but are you really not coming? She seems to really be into you..."

Without turning his head, Pei Jinye replied, "Not free."

The chubby kid sighed in disappointment.

Pei Jinye went to Ice Sister's office after the lesson. The more he understood about the Bronze Association, the more he realized how precious this opportunity was.

Even if Ice Sister didn't care, Pei Jinye knew he should be sensible.

Unfortunately, Ice Sister wasn't at school, and he didn't know where she had gone this time.

Time passed until it was nearly ten forty in the morning.

The fourth class hadn't started yet when suddenly there was a commotion outside the classroom. Many students from Class 17 were disturbed and poked their heads out to see what was happening.

Someone quickly ran back into the room, his face flushed with excitement – whether from running too quickly or from the shock of the news.

As soon as he got back, he announced loudly, "Guys, prepare to be shocked for a thousand years! Fang Hai from Class 1 awakened his Extraordinary-Human Genes during concentration this morning!"

With a "boom," the whole class was in an uproar.

"Is that true?"

"Absolutely, the principal personally took him away!"

"What power did he awaken?"

"Didn't see it myself, but kids from his class said when he awakened, all the metal objects in the classroom were trembling. They suspect it's some kind of metal-related Transcendent power."

"That's awesome, awakening right before the exams... It's a sure thing he's going to Wu University now."

"Envious, he's got a house for sure now."

"More than just a house, my brother-in-law works at the city hall and he said that with the new policy this year, besides a house, there's also a cash reward of a hundred thousand yuan."

"Damn, for real?"

"True, check the official website yourself later, I've looked it up."

...

Pei Jinye suddenly became very interested upon hearing the news and was amazed by the details.

"A hundred thousand? Da Peng's finances are indeed robust; it seems it's just me who's broke..."

Although a hundred thousand yuan wasn't a lot, it would at least allow his family to breathe a little easier for the time being.

Pei Jinye listened with a touch of envy.

Awakening.....

```

It seemed that because of Fang Hai's awakening in Class 1, the entire atmosphere of No.2 Middle School of Da Peng City had changed today.

The teachers occasionally mentioned Fang Hai's awakening during class.

During the breaks, there were always quite a few figures mysteriously gathering at the entrance of Class 1, trying to glean more information.

The whole school was thoroughly buzzing with activity.

The chubby deskmate, not knowing where he got the news from, came up to Pei Jinye with an excited face, "Brother Ye, Fang Hai won't be coming to school anymore."

Pei Jinye was startled, "What do you mean?"

The chubby boy said with emotion, "Mad, it must be nice to be an Awakener. The principal personally sent a car to take him home, the school is going to arrange for teachers to teach him at home, and I heard that our No. 2 Middle School is even going to help Fang Hai contact a Transcendent of the same attribute to clarify his doubts... This is practically the treatment of the Second Middle Prince."

Pei Jinye was also somewhat surprised.

No.2 Middle School was really willing to go all out.

But if No.2 Middle School could really produce a top scorer in the big exam, they would gain even more.

He exhaled softly.

Pei Jinye quickly dismissed these distracting thoughts; to him, worrying about such impractical matters was not as good as taking the time to practice his Power Practice!

Finally, it was time to leave school.

Pei Jinye didn't look back as he headed straight for the Bronze Association.

Since he had visited once yesterday, he didn't delay much on the road today and soon arrived at the Bronze Association.

Today, there were quite a few more figures in the hall wearing light blue martial robes, walking and chatting in groups.

Upon entering the hall, Pei Jinye quickly took out his martial robe from his bag, changed into it, and hurried towards the practice arena.

Three burly young men in the corridor glanced at him, with the curly-haired one in the middle asking, "Who is that? New here?"

"He came last evening, you had already left by then."

"Any background?"

"A connection forced him in, De said the kid has no real background. I went out of my way to watch his training yesterday; he just started Power Practice and probably hasn't been exposed to cultivation outside of what school teaches, not someone from our circle."

The curly-haired man looked puzzled, "How did such a blank slate get in here?"

"Who knows how he got his hands on the Crescent Moon Order, maybe he stole it... but let him be; those who fantasize about overnight success are not lacking him as one..."

The three walked and talked, quickly forgetting about Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye had gone to the practice arena, Li Xiaoyin wasn't there, and he practiced alone, lifting a 60-pound stone...

He didn't know how long he had been practicing.

Just as he put down the stone and was about to rest, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"A 60-pound stone?"

Pei Jinye turned around and saw Li Xiaoyin; he smiled, "Senior Sister."

Li Xiaoyin walked over and weighed the stone, exclaiming with admiration, "Have you been practicing with a 60-pound stone all day?"

Pei Jinye smiled "honestly," "No, I practiced with a 50-pound one for a while today, and when it felt about right, I switched to a heavier one."

Li Xiaoyin, deep in thought, wondered if Pei Jinye had taken some kind of body-enhancing pill; she nodded, "Your progress is faster than I imagined."

She reached out and pinched Pei Jinye's arm, cautioning him, "It's okay to take pills occasionally, but taking them too often can lead to toxins building up in the body, you should have a sense of measure in the future."

"Yes, Senior Sister," Pei Jinye understood she had misunderstood, but he nodded along with her intention and did not bother to explain anything extraneously.

Li Xiaoyin nodded, pinched Pei Jinye's arm again, "It's even harder than I imagined, so I can teach you the "Drawing Blood Art" now."

Pei Jinye was elated.

Li Xiaoyin gestured for him to follow her to an open space in the corner, explaining as they walked, "The mental method '"Drawing Blood Art"', can be practiced in conjunction with the Breathing Method, emphasizing the circulation of the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits, to strengthen the meridians...

"Once you cultivate it to a certain level, it can extend your lifespan. By then, your blood energy will be able to increase steadily, and your physique will be greatly enhanced; the key is to be stable."

"Senior Sister, is there a limit to how much blood energy can increase?" Pei Jinye couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiaoyin nodded, "Of course. It's like using a 30-milliliter cup and a 500-milliliter cup to fetch water; your physique determines the limit."

Pei Jinye curiously asked, "Can practicing this speed up becoming a Transcendent?"

Li Xiaoyin smiled upon hearing this, "I asked the same question when I was your age. Let's put it this way, whether or not you can awaken as a Transcendent depends on the state of your genes; the '"Drawing Blood Art"' can help you increase your blood energy, strengthen your physique.... As to whether it can improve your genes, I have yet to hear of such a thing."
