After a short time.

  As he was walking forward, he stopped in his tracks.

  Only a dozeers apart from him, Ling Xu met a beast like the ferocious rabbit but with double its size.

  It was alo he felt that even if he fought multiple ferocious rabbits it wouldn't pare to the difficulty of defeating just this one.

  It had two muscle packed legs with noticeable explosive strength ah much bigger thainy ferocious rabbits he entered before.

  Ling Xu doubted whether fighting ossible.

  But before he could decide on it the beast noticed him and took the lead without giving him a ce.

  As it moved, Ling Xu noticed something behind the beast.

  "What is that?" behind the beast that had started jumping towards him, he saw a table against the end of the path.

  And above it id down a on.

  "I have to take that on to survive" he said seeing some hope again.

  After all, he didn't have the fideo hurt the beast with his bare hands.

  But wanting to take the on and being able to do so were two different matters as the beast he had in front was blog his path.

  Ling Xu activated his skill and was shocked.

  He saw it slow down as he realized that it looked to be going just a little slower than the ferocious rabbits if he didn't see them with his skill.

  It not only doubled it in size but it almost doubled it in speed.

  "That's some dangerous speed!"

  When the beast was near, it tried to take a big bite from Ling Xu's body.

  He avoided it with difficulty as he took several steps back.

  The only reason he mao do so is because its movements were more dired predictable than the ferocious rabbits.

  He then pus face, trying to wound it.

  The beast didn't seem to feel his punch as it threw another bite.

  He mao avoid it again just by a hair's breadth, and the again at the same spot.

  "Alri…" Ling Xu's face tensed as he realized that hitting the beast again didn't do anything as it just mao make the beast angry.

  He fell to the ground after the beast violently pushed him using its body weight.

  Ling Xu couldn't breathe as he ounced by it.

  He rolled to the side as the beast jumped past him making it so he had no obstacle between himself and the on.

  "Now is my ce!" he thought as he ran with all his might.

  The beast reacted very slowly as its body structure made it difficult to rotate.

  [You have obtained Small Dagger (low grade semi-treasure).]

  Ling Xu didn't listen as he avoided a bite that came to his neck.

  He then attacked with his neon giving the beast a sense of dahe rabbit, not pnning oing itself lose its advahrew its right cw as he had an advantage in speed.

  Although its attack came ter it arrived before Ling Xu's dagger.

  But to the beast's surprise, Ling Xu received the rabbit's paw with his left hand.

  He felt the differen strength as it pressed hard against his hand making him feel a lot of pain. It didhere as between Ling Xu's fihe rabbit beast pressed its cws making his hand bleed tinuously.

  Still, his right hand holding the small dagger didn't stop. It tinued on its path as Ling Xu's greeted teeth even made a crag sound. The beast's face ged its color as the dagger nded in its eye. Ling Xu pressed with all his strength as he pierced through and his haered its head.

  [You have killed an Adult Ferocious Rabbit (2nd stage of Blood Qi).]

  It couldn't even scream as the rabbit had a horrible expression before it died.

  "I finally breathe…ugh!!" falling to the ground to take some air a, Ling Xu felt the pain from his hand that was bleeding out.

  [You have ehe 1st stage of Blood Qi.]

  Without giving him time te a piece of his clothes to stop the bleeding, he heard the message.

  "What is this now?" inside Ling Xu's body, a dim light of energy was awakening but he wasn't able to feel it as it grew within his blood slowly strengthening his body every time it passed through his veins.

  Although he wasn't aware of it, as his body became stronger and was stantly stimuted by the energy awakening inside his blood, he felt full of energy as if he hadn't just gohrough a fight between life ah.

  After less than a minute passed, Ling Xu stood up and moved once again as he felt the ges his body had undergone. He tried making a few punches in the air and run a bit to see the difference from before.

  "This is what it meant when the system said that I could bee stronger, now I feel that with my increase in strength and speed I kill the adult ferocious rabbit using my small dagger without suffering as much as before."

  Ling Xu had officially entered oh of cultivation as he had ehe first stage of the Blood Qi realm.

  Before he stopped rejoig over his ged body, he felt eveer as re realized that his left hand's wounds had stopped bleeding and closed after entering the first stage.

  He felt a burst of fidence from the sudden satisfa of having his body being transformed and he soon called for the status panel.

  [Name]: Ling Xu

  [Realm]: 1st stage of Blood Qi (0%)

  [Cultivation]: Basic Blood Circution (avaible)

  [Skills]: Enhanced Synapsis (high grade)

  Ling Xu noticed the text that said Basic Blood Circution ged from unavaible to avaible, his mind focused on it as another message from the system appeared.

  [Do you want to learn Basic Blood Circution teique?]

  "I want to learn it." he didn't doubt for a sed as he almost yelled, full of expectation about what it would bring to learn this teique.

  Ling Xu felt a stream of knowledge suddeering his mind as he began ta. It took him a few mio mao uand the general knowledge and the method he required to use it.

  "This Basic Blood Circution teique is a method meant to guide in the refi of the body, as I circute my blood qi through the indicated veins my body will bee stronger."

  Ling Xu learned several cepts that he never imagihat he would o know in his life. For example, when he said blood qi he referred to his blood which had awakened wheered the first stage of Blood Qi.

  Ling Xu received knowledge about how to refine his body in the ages of the Blood Qi realm.

  The ages of the Blood Qi realm are divided into three steps and each sts for three stages of the realm.

  From the first to the third stage es the first step where he will have to refine his muscles.

  From the fourth to the sixth stage es the sed step where he will have to refine his ans including the skin.

  And from the seventh to ninth stage es the third stage and the most difficult as there es the refi of the bones.

  Every time he advance a stage not only will his body bee stronger but the amount of blood qi he has will increase.

  To make sure every breakthrough increases his strength and blood qi reserves the best they , Ling Xu has to make sure that his body is refio the limit and no further refi is possible until he advao the stage.

  This is absolutely necessary to have enough blood qi so it sts every fight without decreasing his strength. As blood qi is not only meant to refihe body but it is its source of energy.
