Condemning the Heavens

When looking at the boy's appearance, one could not guess that he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that his acting was very graceful, not at all like a small child.

Not to mention those eyes which spoke of the many ups and downs one encountered in their life, it was evident that he had lived far longer than what his body implied.

"Brat, don't be impolite," Ghost Sword Lin Xuan said while looking at the child, and as one would have expected, the moment the expert was called a child, his facial expression twisted.

"This is Xue Wei. I told you about him before, he is my benefactor, and naturally, I would have to greet him when meeting him."

While many observers were shocked, no one was more shocked than the child. While the audience thought it impossible for a Saint to become the benefactor of a King ranked expert, the child was aware that this was the person who had mutated Lin Xuan's bloodline and allowed him to have a breakthrough.

This child was also a Primordial Beast; he was a Blue-eyed Lightning Leopard, a race which was especially famous for its speed and control of the lightning element.

He had been stuck at the King Realm for a very long time, and while he had wanted to progress to the Emperor Realm, he had never had the opportunity to succeed.

As such, when he looked at Xue Wei, he resembled a starving beast who saw meat. His eyes sparkled, and a smile could not help but creep upon his lips.

"Sir Xue," he greeted, and Xue Wei, who could easily guess the child's thoughts, could not help but smile wryly while greeting back.

"I was wondering if it is possible for you to help me overcome my bottleneck? I heard many rumors about your marvelous ability, and while I know it is rude, I would like to ask for your assistance."

Xue Wei was not against shedding a bit of blood, especially not if it would help to assist their army in the battle they were about to encounter. He was not sure if they had enough time to mutate a beast before it was time for them to move against the Xiyang Continent's army.

"We have around a month," the child, which had been introduced as Lei Jingshen, said eagerly. "There is a month and a half until the event that they have planned. We are not sure whether or not it is a Banquet of Hongmen they have prepared, or if it is genuinely a taming of our Vermilion Bird Clan's members.

"We had planned to leave a month from now, so if we can mutate before then, that would be for the best."

Xue Wei contemplated for a short while. He could not guarantee how long it would take to mutate, just as he did not know if his blood had any effect on those who had attained a spiritual body.

At the same time, there was a risk of dying if one could not withstand the pain from the mutation. All in all, it was risky, but if Lei Jingshen decided to really try it out, then he would allow them to do so.

"I can mutate at most ten people," Xue Wei said after contemplating. "I do not know how much effect it has on someone who is as highly ranked as yourself, but we do not lose anything from trying it out.

"Other than you, we can try mutating another nine experts. If you pick out nine with outstanding talent or bloodlines, then we will give it a try."

Lei Jingshen was shocked. He had already thought that he might have been too rude to ask for help to mutate, but now Xue Wei offered to mutate a total of ten experts! This could prove to be the deciding factor in the war.

"We will do as you said," Lei Jingshen said, having a hard time to control his excitement.

Xue Wei nodded his head. If the mutation needed his essence blood, he would be against mutating so many people, but since it was just normal blood, it truly did not matter.

He was suddenly deep in thought. If his normal blood was so powerful, what would happen if he gave them some essence blood?

Contemplating, Xue Wei looked at Hei Gou. He was not willing to use his good friend as a guinea pig, but he was thinking of using one of these experts as a test, and if it were possible to survive, then he would also let Hei Gou try it.

Being able to help him increase his strength would be extremely gratifying.

Lei Jingshen looked at Xue Wei and shuddered suddenly. Why was it that he felt a slight fear creep up on his back when looking at the complex expression on Xue Wei's face.

"Say, Lei Jingshen, are you willing to try getting more strength, but maybe put yourself more at risk at the same time?" Xue Wei suddenly asked, and while Lei Jingshen was shocked, he was also rooted in thought.

"What do you mean?" he asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I have three kinds of blood, the normal blood, the essence blood, and the heart essence blood," Xue Wei began.

"So far, every mutation I have made has been done with my normal blood, but imagine what would happen if I sacrifice some essence blood.

"I am not willing to sacrifice too much essence blood, but this would be a test to see whether or not it is survivable so that I can offer it to my comrade."
