...

As the group fought against the spiders, Leylin witness multiple guards of weaker cultivation dying one by one, torn to pieces under the sharp sword like legs of the ruthless spiders.

After their death huge amount of energy was soon attracted and digested in Leylin body, which was like a bottomless pit. It was also like a precise machine that transformed the food into nutrition, supplying his blood, bones, tendons, muscles and inner organs, strengthening his weak body secretly.

Only Leylin knew precisely what had happened to his own body in such short time. He could sense the transformations occurring within himself every second!

While the nutrition from the devour qi strengthened his body, by continuous circulation the weak Profound Qi inside him had also risen by a level.

Leylin could feel a great strength now and it was increasing exponentially.

As he concentrated, he could tell the Qi was flowing from his Dantian, up to the Girdle, down the conception vassals, and then balancing the water and fire in the heart and kidney. After it completed a Small Circulation, his Profound Qi grew stronger.

Thanks to a little knowledge of meridian, Leylin knew the difference between a Small Circulation and a Big Circulation. A Small Circulation only included the these two, without going through the twelve channels, while a Big Circulation contained the twelve Channels and the other six vessels.

Since there were only two vessels; the Girdle and the Conception, which were open among his twelve Channels and eight vessels, he could only complete a Small Circulation. Only warriors of the Elementary Realm could open all the channels and vessels to carry out a Big Circulation.

Leylin carried on, for he believed that as long as the Profound Qi residing in him was strong enough, he would open his Channels and Vessels sooner or later.

When he was witnessing the massacre and bloody attacks, he felt nothing but an overwhelming thrill originating from his soul, a great satisfaction that he couldn't describe with words. He was free. He felt like he was a warrior by nature, and that he was born to kill.

He highly enjoyed the feeling of euphoria brought to him by the devouring of the devour energy, it was the most wonderful moment he had never experienced.

"Is this... the bloodthirsty nature of a warrior race?"

As the Profound Qi from the warrior's body rushed into Leylin's Meridians, there was sudden funnel like pull originating from his truesoul refining energy like a fliter as it instantly purified the strong urge of murder flaring up inside his body. Before long, a strange energy poured into his Profound Qi, making it even stronger and more concentrated than ever.

This felt so good and fulfilling!

After making sure that the warriors were not coming his way, at least not in a short period of time, Leylin quietly closed his eyes and started to circulate the Profound Qi inside his body. The Profound Qi of those killed by Leylin over the past few days as well as now had all been absorbed by Leylin's shortly after they died. After they were purified by his innate devour system it poured into his meridians, then the Profound Qi went back to his body, making his Profound Qi increases twice in strength again.

Leylin started to circulate the Profound Qi inside his body faster and faster with his mind. He could clearly feel that his Profound Qi was much stronger than before, rushing through his Meridians like an intense lightning all over his body, from his abdomen and all the way to his right arm.

Leylin held his breath, cleared his mind, and concentrated all his attention in pouring the Profound Qi into his right arm. Now! He released this burning energy all at once!

The Profound Qi inside his arm was flowing rapidly towards his right index finger like wild horses escaping from their reins.

"Bzz bzz"

Some silver colored light smoke suddenly shot out of his right index finger, making a strange sound in the air. The light smoke didn't gather in the air and only lasted for a few minutes before fading away.

Leylin opened his eyes, with bright sparks shining in his black eyes and an excited smile on his face.

He had successfully managed to push his Profound Qi outside of his body!

This marked him reaching the Third Sky of the Elementary Realm. After his rigorous practice since yesterday, he had finally made it to a new level with the help of that strange power inside his Meridians.

Although the Profound Qi that was forced from his body was not in a concentrated shape, and couldn't make itself into a sharp beam, he would be able to infuse his Profound Qi into all kinds of killing weapons, and could directly rupture the enemy's organs with his Profound Qi shot; which meant that he had already reached a milestone in his control and operation of Profound Qi.

Just then!

A Jade Blade Spider let out a strange whistle, and the remaining six spiders quickly flew back into the thick forest retreating under the warriors retaliation.

Apparently, they had noticed that it would be hard to fight with this troop. After the two of them died, they finally withdrew.

"Something's not right about this sudden confrontation." Master Kurt felt something in the forest as he touched the ground, and he accelerated like a flash of lightning towards the spiders with a terrifying speed. The power and strength of a Nascent Realm Warrior were far beyond that of an ordinary Elementary Realm Warrior.

Leaving her own troops behind, Mary Dunn also clashed against them with a killing intent in her beautiful eyes. Although she doesn't know why Master Kurt is chasing after the retreating spiders who are better off left unbothered at this point, she still followed.

She has suffered extremely severe losses for these past few days, this would definitely not bode well with her family. At this point, only a handful of the most elite of her guards at Nascent realm are left and the rest are all dead or seriously injured.

"Did he figure out my position because of my breakthrough?" Leylin's face turned serious. Although Master Kurt seem to chase after the spiders but he was drawing awfully near his coordinates too, there is definitely something up!

Leylin stood up and concentrated all the Profound Qi into his legs, he was like a ghost moving around the dark forest keeping himself close yet away from Master Kurt in order to make use of any momentary lapse or gap in his guard all the while hiding himself. Every time he took a step on the ground, his skinny body would dash forward for seven or eight meters. Soon he was closing in on the Giant Jade Blade Spiders confronted by Master Kurt.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!"

The Jade Blade Spiders were moving in the wetland with all their eight legs plugged into the mud. Soon, they disappeared into the thicket.

Leylin was more focused than ever. His mind became as clear as a mirror. Suddenly, he had entered that marvelous stage again. Everything around him became clear to him. He could even hear the low-frequency communication among the Jade Blade Spiders, as well as the fast movements of Master Kurt behind him. He couldn't miss anything.

"Whoo!" Master Kurt suddenly stopped chasing, and said with an icy light in his eyes, "There seems to be something or someone around us."

"What!?" Mary who was right behind heard him and exclaimed, even Leylin was slightly surprised to know that Master Kurt could actually perceive him.

'It seems my breakthrough did gave away my position?'

"The grounded dragon isn't very useful in fighting but there is a reason why I have tamed it. It has pretty good perception of danger and sensitivity of surrounding."

Leylin who was listening frowned suddenly and glanced at the large beast and scanning it with squinted eyes, 'It does seem a bit startled and happens to convey something to Kurt but if it was the case, why couldn't it sense the spiders or my previous excursion? Is it limited to range or perhaps.."

Leylin turned his attention back to Kurt immediately to just barely notice his hands running across a bottle of white mist looking towards his position, "Shit, this motherfucker is lying!"

Leylin step backwards and because of his marvellous state he skipped all the things on the ground which could possibly make any sound, even through he didn't knew what Kurt was doing he had a feeling that his position would be exposed if he continued to stay rooted.

"Hmph, before I only had a hunch but now I am sure. Although I cannot find him, he is surely here. Let's deal with the spiders first. " Kurt eyes scanned furiously as he continued to pay attention to his surrounding, Leylin didn't knew what he did but he can see that both of Kurt actions, including the knowledge about the ground dragon and his potion were just bluffs made to pinpoint him.

"Well well, he is unexpectedly intelligent. It seems I have underestimated the shrewdness of the cultivators focusing on the infamous Young Master's aspect only."

"Maybe he ran through the flock of Jade Blade Spiders and is ahead of them right now?" Mary Dunn asked with a frown and some uncertainty in her voice.

Master Kurt sniffed, "Even if he is bold enough, he couldn't have survived the Jade Blade Spiders. If he was very strong, he wouldn't play these games, The eight spider legs are like meat grinders. This place is the proprietary land of the Jade Blade Spiders. If he did become the target of those spiders, he is dead without a doubt."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Mary agreed with Master Kurt. The two of them then split up and started to search the bushes for traces of Leylin.

Mary had deep rooted hatred for Leylin at this point, while Kurt was very interested as well as slightly annoyed because of this unexpected troublesome fellow who wasted so much of his valuable time.

"Is it okay to leave the Ground Dragon alone?" Master Kurt frowned, and said worriedly, "All my medicine bottles are with the dragon. If that guy messed with my medicine, he would cause me more trouble than I can handle."

"Master Karu, don't you worry. The Ground Dragon is being guarded by Gerry and Levium, both have reached Nascent Realm. That asshole is no match for him." Mary Dunn said with a proud face.

Master Kurt nodded in consent and said no more.

"Hmm.. although the group have suffered huge casualties, all the heavy hitters are still alive. Ignoring those injured and at Elementary realm, there is a total of four Nascent Realm Warriors and that Master Kurt is a tricky one. I should retreat for now, there is no rush in dealing with them and more importantly...." Leylin glanced at the backs of Kurt and Mary and knew that they were just putting up an act in order to lure him, and although Leylin was pretty confident in his skills, he still wasn't keen to fighting them all at once especially when his attention was snatched to more important things.

Leylin has been extremely patient so far against his enemies, it's only the second day of his life in this world and he has already reached the peak of Elementary realm making a remarkable achievement.

And currently after becoming a Third Sky, his attention turned to the previously sealed blood vein ring.

"I should be able to access the extremely overbearing martial skill just perfect for this body's bloodline."

After Leylin withdrew from the area with the Profound Qi flowing out of his body, he set his eyes upon the crimson ring on his left ring finger. This mysterious ring, named the 'Blood Vein Ring', came from the blood pool and had some close connections with the pool.

As he was thinking, he recalled the time when he wore the ring for the first time sealing it with the help of A. I. Chip. Back then, the Profound Qi in his body was very weak, but the moment he wore the ring, it rushed toward the ring in a wild manner. But since it was too weak then, his Qi couldn't flow through his skin into the ring.

Now he had already reached the Third Sky, meaning his Profound Qi had been strengthened and refined to the point that it could move out of his body...

Leylin knew exactly what awaits him at this point, trying to pry open the secret inside this ancient ring.

Through the leaves, Leylin observed for a while. The warriors from Dunn family were moving away towards their camp, and would not come back for a short time.

"A.I.Chip lift the soul seal away from the ring and the body readjusting the meridians. Keep record of the phenomena."

[Beep! Task established! Medians adjusted, soul seal lifted, observing the blood vein ring.]

At first, the Profound Qi started flowing slowly in his dantian, then it suddenly accelerated and forcefully rushed into his left arm. His Qi moved rapidly and he felt a mild pain in the veins of his left arm. The Qi rushed all the way into the ring finger on his left hand with a crushing force and lashed against the skin under the ring.

"Bzz bzz!"

Like smoke, the Profound Qi leaked out from beneath the ring, and the pure Profound Qi dived right inside the ring in an instant.

The Blood Vein Ring let out a crimson light as if the protective layer of the ring had been ruptured. At this point, a strange energy jumped out of the Blood Vein Ring and flew back into Leylin's arm. It went straight up through his neck and finally arrived in his mind.

[Beep! Strange Information entering the brain! Restrict or not!]

"Allow!"

Martial Skill: [Rampage]!

The energy coming out of the Blood Vein Ring was actually a series of memory fragments. This [Rampage], was a strange Martial Skill. The training procedure flowed into Leylins head as he removed the firewall in his head as it became deeply engraved in his mind.

Leylin feels a sense of relief and control because of his ability to either accept or reject the changes to his body. Although he knows that the incoming knowledge, power and skill isn't harmful, the comfort of choosing rather than being left with no option but to accept is relaxing.

"Martial Skills.."

Martial Skills taught warriors how to operate their Profound Qi and contained a skill for attacking with Profound Qi. Just like the ranking for Alchemists, it was divided into five levels: Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Sacred and God. But there were some differences between the ranking of Martial Skills and that of Alchemists. Every grade of Alchemists consisted of seven sub-levels, while Martial Skills contained no sub-levels.

High-level Martial Skills brought the best out of the Profound Qi inside a Warrior and provided them with an attack power. The higher the level of the Martial Skill, the more precision was required with Profound Qi. If a warrior was to train with a high-grade Martial Skill, he had to reach a high level first. The stronger the Martial Skill, the stricter the conditions it required.

Generally speaking, warriors of the Elementary and Nascent Realm were suitable for training Mortal level Martial Skills. Profound level skills were best for Human Realm and Disaster Realm warriors. Spirit level skills were best for Earth realm and Nirvana Realm warriors. Sacred level skills were best for Sky Realm and Spirit God Realm warriors. While True God and King God realm warriors, would be cultivating the God level skills.

It was a waste of time if a warrior of a lower level tried to train with high-level Martial Skills.

If one's level was too low and their Profound Qi was not intense enough, one would not succeed in learning a high-grade Martial Skill. Even if they barely succeeded, one would not be able to use the power of a high-grade Martial Skill proficiently, as their Realm and power would not be enough to sustain them. They might as well just train with Martial Skills that matched their Warrior Realm.

For example, even if a warrior of the Nascent Realm possessed a legendary God level Martial Skill, it would be a total waste of time, because he would never be able to cultivate it with his low Realm.

Conversely, if a warrior of a high Realm trained with a low level Martial Skill, he couldn't put his power to good use either.

If a warrior of the True God Realm had only low-grade Martial Skills of the Mortal and Profound level then his ability would be restricted by these skills. In the end, he would only be able to use 70%-80% of his ability.

On the Grace mainland, Martial Skills were more treasured than pills; they were the most valuable treasure on this earth. Martial Skills were often controlled by those honorable families and all sorts of forces. It was one of the attractions for warriors, as such, they often joined to those honorable families to have access to these skills.

The higher the grade, the more valuable the Martial Skill was. Warriors of a high Realm would be severely restricted if they didn't possess a high-grade Martial Skill. They would be at a disadvantage, sometimes resulting in them being killed in a battle.

Thus, in order to acquire a suitable high-grade Martial Skill, those high-levelled warriors would sacrifice anything.

Sitting straight up in the foliage, Leylin had the help of A. I. Chip in sorting out the memories of [Rampage] in his mind After he put those memory fragments in order, he found that the [Rampage] Martial Skill consisted of three levels as well. What got imprinted in his mind now was only the first level of the training method.

This Martial Skill came from the Blood Vein Ring and rushed into his mind. To train in this Martial Skill, one needed to reverse the flow of their Profound Qi, which was just opposite of most Martial Skills.

Leylin didn't hesitate to begin cultivating this skill, Leylin knows that although as one of the five biggest families in the Merchant Union, the Lenoir family had its own Martial Skills, the highest of which reached the Spirit level. That single Spirit level skill is regarded as a family heirloom by the family head of Shi family, Eren Lenoir. This old man was the only person who had reached the Realm required to train with it.

Nonetheless, apart from this Spirit level Martial Skill, the Lenoir family also possessed Mortal and Profound level Martial Skills even still it was nothing in the greater scheme of things.

For now, Leylin decided to return to Lenoir family and train with their Mortal and Profound level as well Martial Skills with his new identity recording them into his A. I. Chip database trying to stimulate more spells.

With a rigid face, Leylin tried to refine his Profound Qi and pushed it into the Blood Vein Ring, only to find his Profound Qi blocked by a protective screen within the Ring. No matter how hard he tried, his Profound Qi couldn't break the screen.

"Maybe later.. the ring hids a deep secret for sure."

Behind that protective screen, there might be more information about [Rampage]. Most likely it would be the methods to the other two levels of training. Sadly, his Profound Qi could not break that screen until it was strong enough.

Leylin withdrew his Profound Qi from the ring. He arranged the incomplete memory fragments of the Martial Skill again.

"Let's begin."
