Chapter 103: Refining the Undying Blood

After confirming his relationship with Ning Rongrong, Zhao Ming immediately taught her the Divine Footwork Technique, which was derived from the practice of yoga.

During the teaching process, Zhao Ming naturally enjoyed the view. Ning Rongrong's delicate charm was like a budding flower, not yet fully blossomed but still carrying a unique beauty.

Zhao Ming thought for a moment and instructed Ning Rongrong to pass on the Divine Footwork Technique to Zhu Zhuqing as well. Last time, when Zhao Ming gave Zhu Zhuqing the manual for the technique, he originally planned to deepen their connection when she came to him for guidance.

However, due to Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing had kept her distance to avoid any misunderstandings. Now that Zhu Zhuqing had completely let go of her past with Dai Mubai, Zhao Ming felt there was no need to take advantage of her through the technique.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was already set on him, and he could make further progress at any time.

Returning to his dormitory,

He now planned to absorb the Undying Blood.

He was curious about how much power this Undying Blood could provide him.

In his room, Zhao Ming took out the jade vial containing the Undying Blood. As he held it, he could faintly hear the ancient call of the Undying Phoenix within, which made him smile.

To think that the system-produced jade vial holding this Undying Blood was such a valuable item. It was capable of storing such a potent substance while preserving its original state, indicating that the bottle itself was no ordinary object.

Looking at the vial in his hand, Zhao Ming exhaled deeply. Even though there were only about ten drops of blood inside, he could feel the immense energy it contained.

"System, is there anything I need to be careful about when absorbing this?" Zhao Ming asked. It was better to check beforehand to avoid any unforeseen mishaps.

"There's nothing particular to watch out for, but the host should absorb it drop by drop. This way, your body can handle it, and you can maximize the absorption of the Undying Blood."

Zhao Ming nodded, not hesitating as he poured out the black liquid from the vial.

Instantly, a scorching sensation emanated from it, surprising Zhao Ming. If the blood alone was this powerful, just how terrifying was the Undying Phoenix at its peak?

Feeling a bit awed, Zhao Ming quickly released his ancient Undying Phoenix martial spirit.

Immediately, a sense of kinship from the bloodline made Zhao Ming smile.

With his soul power surging, the Undying Blood floated in his palm, burning slowly.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Zhao Ming extracted a drop of the blood and swallowed it.

The black Undying Blood, as soon as it entered his body, swiftly coursed through his flesh and meridians, causing Zhao Ming's expression to change slightly. He initially thought it would settle in his meridians, allowing him to refine it gradually, but an unexpected development occurred.

However, Zhao Ming soon relaxed. The Undying Blood surged through his body, but instead of causing harm, it brought him great benefits.

As the blood flowed, it left traces of black substance throughout his body. The black color spread within him at an astonishing speed, like drops of ink expanding rapidly in a basin of water.

Ferocious bird cries echoed from Zhao Ming's body, and at the same time, his ancient Undying Phoenix martial spirit began to emit a savage cry.

With each cry, a terrifying aura erupted from Zhao Ming's body.

This aura combined both the power of Zhao Ming's ancient Undying Phoenix martial spirit

and the fierce energy of the original owner of the Undying Blood.

The overwhelming aura caused all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy to shiver.

"Something's wrong, that's coming from Zhao Ming's direction." Zhao Wuji, feeling the intense aura, quickly rushed towards Zhao Ming's location.

However, he stopped ten meters away from Zhao Ming's room. It wasn't because he hesitated; he simply couldn't go any further. The powerful aura prevented him from proceeding. It felt like the presence of a primordial beast from ancient times.

Under that aura, his own martial spirit, the Vigorous Vajra Bear—a top-tier strength-type beast spirit—was trembling, seemingly wanting to submit.

A terrifying thought crossed his mind, telling him that if he continued forward, he would likely be injured or even killed.

Exhaling deeply, he warily watched Zhao Ming's direction. Uncertain of Zhao Ming's current condition, he could only stay and monitor the situation. Even if he relied on his cultivation to force his way in, it wouldn't solve anything and might even disturb Zhao Ming.

In no time, all the teachers and students of Shrek gathered at the scene, their expressions uneasy.

Zhao Ming was one of their most valued students, and it seemed like something had gone wrong.

"Xiao Wu, what's happening? You've known Zhao Ming for a long time; you must have some idea," Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.

"I'm not sure either. I only know that his second martial spirit is the most powerful fire-type spirit in existence. But beyond that, I don't know much about Zhao Ming's other secrets. However, I believe he should be fine," Xiao Wu replied, furrowing her delicate brows. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to the strange occurrences surrounding Zhao Ming. Still, witnessing the current situation made her worry.

"Maybe Zhao Ming has obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter. If you observe closely, you'll notice his aura seems to be gradually strengthening," Shao Xin, being a food-type spirit master, was more attentive. He immediately noticed the changes in Zhao Ming.

After hearing Shao Xin's words, the crowd sensed the change and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ming was fully focused on refining the drop of Undying Blood within him.

"Mm." Zhao Ming couldn't help but let out a low groan. At that moment, his throat felt like it was on fire, as if he had swallowed a handful of chili peppers. Naturally, his body wasn't in a good state either, as waves of scorching energy spread through him.

Black flames uncontrollably erupted from his body, instantly burning his clothes to ashes, and his room quickly caught fire under the intense heat.

This unexpected development shocked everyone. Zhao Wuji, thinking Zhao Ming was in danger, tried to rush in to save him, but Shao Xin quickly stopped him, pointing at Zhao Ming's direction.

With the room's walls burned away, Zhao Ming was fully exposed to their sight.

Zhao Ming stood naked, but fortunately, the black Undying Flames shielded him from full exposure.

However, as soul masters, their vision and senses were extraordinary.

They immediately noticed Zhao Ming's state.

The male soul masters like Zhao Wuji weren't too affected, but the female soul masters, including Zhu Zhuqing, blushed deeply upon seeing Zhao Ming's naked form.

Feeling shy and flustered, they didn't want to look further, but they were also concerned about Zhao Ming's condition.

After a while, once they confirmed Zhao Ming seemed to be in no immediate danger, they left, their faces still flushed.
