Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

"Perhaps, it's difficult for me to directly sever Tang San's opportunity, and I might even be directly blocked by the Supreme God King Tang San from that illusory future. Therefore, I need strength. I need to settle down first, and only with God King-level power can I try to repair the history here."

"Moreover, the idea of a fixed future is too decisive. Perhaps I can believe some other speculations, such as Tang San being the Supreme God King himself, but for some reason, he wanted to reincarnate. He changed his memories of Falan Star and investigated the opportunities on Douluo Star where he was about to reincarnate. He organized the relevant memories and gave them to the reincarnated Tang San, making Tang San believe that he was a transmigrator, thereby occupying many advantages in information, gradually rising, and finally, after becoming a God King, letting Xiao Wu die, Tang San reborn, recovering his 'optimized' memories from the Falan Star period from the luck, thus naturally becoming a brand new Supreme God King."

The timeline is a difficult thing to clarify, which comes first, which comes later, who is scheming against whom.

It is precisely because of this that one falls into the vortex of luck.

Xu Yuan didn't bother to sort out the logic.

He only started from himself, firmly believing that everything he had experienced was real.

This is also a coping strategy.

As long as he is strong enough and fights for the corresponding luck, then all the timelines Xu Yuan has experienced are correct and unchangeable. Even the order that Xu Yuan believes will turn into real memories, recorded in the long river of time in this universe.

"Alright, kid, you should adjust your body first."

Xu Yuan still couldn't get too much detailed information from Qian Nian.

A child, and a good-for-nothing at that, still knows too little.

Even if he seems to have some background.

"My aptitude!"

Following the Blood Demon God King's instructions, Qian Nian began to attract the heaven and earth essence energy to cultivate.

However, after absorbing the surrounding essence energy, his eyes widened.

It's still so bad!

"Kid, what are you thinking about?" The Blood Demon God King chuckled.

"I only modified your physique to make you more compatible with various bloodlines, but I didn't modify your cultivation aptitude."

Qian Nian fell into a daze at this moment.

So, the dream of the Nine Gates Family regaining its glory was shattered before it even began?

"Changing your aptitude would trap your future," Xu Yuan said, "This Blood Demon only helped you change some unimportant parts, allowing you to better integrate the bloodlines of the demon and spirit races. You can use this ability to change your own aptitude. How far you can reach in the future depends entirely on yourself."

Chapter 603: Contract

Hearing this, Qian Nian's disappointment also dissipated immediately.

He didn't understand any great principles.

Now that he has no hope of even reaching the second rank, how could he dare to奢求 for the eleventh or twelfth rank?

As long as it is an opportunity for the God rank, he can accept it.

Even if the so-called Blood God Body itself is only equivalent to the Star God level, it is still precious to him and is his reliance on rising.

Even if this so-called Blood God Body doesn't change his own cultivation aptitude, it gives him a chance to improve his aptitude.

Moreover, the so-called God rank is ultimately illusory. Who knows what dangers he will encounter along the way?

At this moment, the most important thing for Qian Nian is the opportunity to change the status quo.

Although the Blood God Body doesn't directly change the status quo, it gives him a chance, and Qian Nian is excited about it.

"There aren't even any demons or spirits nearby, so I can't help you improve your aptitude for the time being," Xu Yuan slowly said, "Since that's the case, then slowly recover. Although your speed of condensing demon power is slow, fortunately, the two of us are here."

Xu Yuan and the Blood Demon both need to recover.

Among them, the Blood Demon has fewer needs, but he also needs to make up for the losses from opening the passage this time. The amount of heaven and earth essence energy he inhales is still enormous for Qian Nian.

As for Xu Yuan, he needs to slowly nurture his will, which requires gathering a large amount of heaven and earth essence energy.

Although he mainly relies on entrusting himself to heaven and earth to nurture his will, gathering energy is also a means to accelerate the nurturing of heaven and earth.

The environment created by the two experts is definitely enough for Qian Nian to feel the feeling of being pushed to cultivate.

It's still that saying, if aptitude is not enough, resources will make up for it.

The rich heaven and earth essence energy drawn by Xu Yuan and the Blood Demon, even if only a trace leaks out, is definitely enough for Qian Nian to eat his fill.

Qian Nian also truly experienced the cultivation under the pressure of the vast heaven and earth essence energy.

The demon power that was originally condensed slowly can now be condensed with just a little effort.

It's simply too incredible.

Is this the feeling of a genius?

"Don't be obsessed with cultivating fast, carefully feel the process of condensing demon power and improve your cultivation technique."

Xu Yuan's reminder brought Qian Nian back to his senses.

He gritted his teeth and didn't go all out to accumulate demon power. Instead, he condensed it with all his strength as usual. Even with the help of the vast heaven and earth essence energy, he still completed all the efforts he needed to make as before.

Whether it was a psychological effect or not, Qian Nian felt that the demon power condensed in this state was different.

He had motivation and drive.

Under the operation of the demon power, his body gradually improved.

The impact of the fall from the cliff was not directly offset by the Blood Demon God King. The Blood Demon God King only maintained the shape of his body, but the internal impact still existed.

Even with the operation of demon power, it took Qian Nian a full month to recover himself.

And this month also made him seem like a completely different person.

Climbing out of the human-shaped pit, Qian Nian looked down at his hands, feeling the changes in his body, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Demon power!

His demon power far exceeded what it used to be.

Even if he still put in the same hard work to condense demon power, and many steps seemed slightly redundant, under the impetus of the heaven and earth essence energy, his cultivation speed was several times faster than before.

The most important thing is that, along with the destruction and repair of his body, the accumulation of demon power seemed to have no bottleneck at all, and it was directly increasing little by little, without stopping at all.

The demon power accumulated in this month was more than Qian Nian's previous three years of cultivation!

In the past, when I cultivated, my demon power would increase a little, and then the improvement would slow down. Only after grinding past the next point could I increase it a little more without hindrance. This cycle was simply torture. Increasing my demon power by a hundred points was needlessly extended by more than ten times the time.

But this month, Qian Nian experienced the feeling of being a genius—without bottlenecks.

Bottlenecks are indeed a limitation for too many people.

To break through the upper limit time and time again, you either need to have heaven-defying talent, with your aptitude as a guarantee, possessing a mountain range reaching the sky, where there will always be a path.

Or, you need to get used to the feeling of breaking through shackles, accumulating the feeling of breaking through bottlenecks from the slightest beginnings. After repeated accumulation, breaking through bottlenecks becomes the norm.

Or, you need to be like Xu Yuan, neither high nor low, but possessing heaven-defying talent, taking a different path, and pioneering a completely new road.

Obviously, the first type almost only exists in theory.

Xu Yuan is the third type, and Qian Nian can only take the second path for now.

This is also why the Blood Demon God King didn't directly change his aptitude. Of course, it's also possible that the Blood Demon God King didn't consider this point, but was simply too lazy to improve Qian Nian's aptitude.

Looking at his body, which was even stronger than it had been two months ago, Qian Nian finally realized the problem.

For two months, without eating or drinking, he not only didn't starve to death, but he was also full of energy and showed no signs of depletion.

You must know that even cultivators need to replenish nutrition to maintain their bodily functions. If they are cultivating, they need even more supplements to meet the demands of cultivation, especially the human cultivators of the Holy Region, who cultivate demon power and temper their bodies, placing the most emphasis on supplements.

"Your physique is still deficient. The cultivation of demon power ultimately still relies on the demon bloodline. Although your demon power is now several times stronger, it's actually just external. You still need to replenish your nutrition to make up for it," Xu Yuan said indifferently.

If he relied on Xu Yuan's conversion of heaven and earth spiritual energy for food in the long term, it wouldn't affect Qian Nian's cultivation, but it would cause his demon power to degenerate and lose the characteristics of the Demon God Transformation.

"Yes!" Qian Nian responded.

"What gains have you made this month?" Xu Yuan asked.

Hearing Xu Yuan's question, Qian Nian thought seriously, recalling his cultivation for the month.

"The cultivation of a genius is so爽(shuǎng, comfortable)!"

Qian Nian was truly infatuated with this feeling.

"Then work hard to make yourself a genius. I've also allowed you to experience the difference between you and a genius in a disguised way. What achievements you can make in the future all depend on yourself."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he simply pointed Qian Nian in the right direction and stopped giving instructions.

Under Xu Yuan's guidance, Qian Nian began to search in the valley.

First, the numerous medicinal herbs in the valley.

This valley is exceptionally remote, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy is also slightly thin, but after years of screening, the medicinal herbs that can survive in the valley are all unique.

Especially after a month of soaking in the heaven and earth spiritual energy, each one's medicinal efficacy has greatly increased, and some have even mutated, with their medicinal efficacy becoming stronger or their uses becoming broader.

Under Xu Yuan's guidance, Qian Nian searched through the numerous medicinal herbs and quickly left the valley.

Outside the valley, relying on a continuous mountain range called the Tianshan Mountain Range, one mountain after another stretches endlessly. Qian Nian originally jumped off the top of a cliff on one of the mountains.

"Have you thought about what bloodline you want to fuse with?" Xu Yuan asked.

"No, the bloodline power in my body is thin, which leads to unsmooth demon power cultivation. Although there is a possibility of fusing bloodlines at the first level, my bloodline is too weak. I don't know if I can truly fuse with a foreign bloodline, and whether it will be compatible," Qian Nian said.

"Now, you have the qualifications," Xu Yuan said indifferently.

Qian Nian revealed a smile.

Yes, he had the qualifications.

Since that was the case, what bloodline should he choose?

Qian Nian closed his eyes and carefully recalled the many demon bloodlines he knew. Many lights and shadows flashed through his mind, eventually stopping on a ferocious dog roaring at the sky.

Sun-Devouring Divine Hound!

It was a divine beast with a notorious reputation on Planet Fa Lan, possessing powerful devouring power. The Qian family, where Qian Nian was located among the Nine Great Families, possessed the corresponding bloodline, which was also the foundation of the Qian family.

The Nine Great Families each inherited a kind of divine beast bloodline. Each divine beast was once famous on the Demon Spirit Continent, but most of them have been annihilated in the long river of history, without purebreds, leading to the decline of the Nine Great Families as well. Their own bloodlines have become increasingly thin, and they have declined to the point where Qian Nian's bloodline is almost close to a pure human race.

Unfortunately, the Sun-Devouring Divine Hound had already become extinct.

Qian Nian sighed in his heart.

The Sun-Devouring Divine Hound was the bloodline that could best match his Blood God Body, but the Sun-Devouring Divine Hound had already become extinct. Moreover, even if it hadn't become extinct, how could he find its踪迹(zōngjì, trace) in this vast Planet Fa Lan? Even if he found its trace, how could he obtain its bloodline from its hands?

Qian Nian didn't place all his hopes on Xu Yuan and the other.

He also knew that Xu Yuan and the other were staying in his body, and their condition must not be good. Even if they could truly look down on Planet Fa Lan at their peak, they definitely couldn't reach that level now.

So he had to choose an existence that could replace the Sun-Devouring Divine Hound.

However, bloodlines with devouring power were also extremely difficult to obtain. Which one should he choose?

"Stop dawdling, making a decision is so slow," Xu Yuan said: "My perception covers at least one-third of the Holy Region, so you don't have to worry about the inconvenience of searching."

Qian Nian was stunned in place when he heard Xu Yuan's words.

How much?

His perception covered how much?

At least one-third of the Holy Region!

Realizing this, Qian Nian immediately made a decision.

"Senior, I want the Heaven-Swallowing Hound's bloodline."

The Heaven-Swallowing Hound was a bloodline branch of the Sun-Devouring Divine Hound. Legend has it that if it could devour thousands of bloodlines, turn them into its own, and enhance its bloodline, it might evolve into a true Sun-Devouring Divine Hound.

"Heaven-Swallowing Hound?" Xu Yuan said: "Is it good at devouring power?"

"Yes!"

Xu Yuan nodded.

That was perfect.

Although the perception coverage was large, screening targets was a super project, and Xu Yuan would also feel very uncomfortable. But if it was a target good at devouring power, it would be easier.

Xu Yuan activated the Devouring Rune, integrated it into the heaven and earth, and quietly waited for the feedback from the heaven and earth.

He didn't need to screen anymore.

He directly outsourced it to the heaven and earth!

Soon, Xu Yuan received guidance from the heaven and earth and sensed many monsters related to the devouring attribute, including three types of canines.
