15: Chapter 15 The Blazing Blood Blade and the Zanpakuto Technique

After once again consuming and refining his Qi and blood, Lu Siye skillfully grabbed another handful of red ginseng, preparing to continue strengthening, when he suddenly heard two steady and powerful sets of footsteps gradually approaching.

Lu Siye put down the red ginseng in his hand and looked towards the door vigilantly.

He could feel that the two people standing outside his door were not ordinary people.

The scorching Qi and blood within their bodies, while not yet reaching the level of a Night Patrol Envoy, were very close.

"Are they from the Evil Suppression Bureau? Have the blazing blood saber and the Soul-Severing Blade Technique arrived?" Lu Siye guessed.

Knock, knock, knock~

The door was knocked on; Lu Siye quickly stood up, went behind the door, and opened it.

Upon opening the door, Lu Siye saw two men in black wearing sunglasses standing in front of his door.

One of them was holding a rectangular wooden box in his hand, and the other was holding a cloth bundle.

Lu Siye looked at the items in their hands; those must be the blazing blood saber and the blade technique Secret Manual he had purchased early in the morning.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu Siye?" one of the men in black asked.

Although his face appeared very calm, the tense bodies and rapid heartbeats of both men exposed the fact that they were actually very nervous.

"I am! Are you from the Evil Suppression Bureau?" Lu Siye touched his nose; was he that scary?

"Yes, these are the items you ordered, Mr. Lu. Please inspect them!" The man nodded and handed over the wooden box and the cloth bundle.

Lu Siye took the cloth bundle and opened it to look.

Inside was a thin blue-covered book, and on its cover were four simplified characters: Soul-Severing Blade Technique.

After flipping through a few pages casually to confirm there were no issues, he took the wooden box.

The wood grain on the box was exquisite, and it felt slightly warm to the touch; the material of this wooden box was likely not as simple as ordinary wood.

Then he gently opened the latch.

Click~

The wooden box was opened a crack, a flash of cold light gleamed, and a scorching aura leaked out from within.

Just by taking one look, Lu Siye knew that the Tang Hengdao in the box was extraordinary.

"Alright! No problem. Don't leave yet, wait for me a moment." Lu Siye nodded at the two men.

After giving these instructions, he turned and entered the room, placing the two items on the table.

Subsequently, he walked into the kitchen, took two bottles of iced cola from the refrigerator, and went to the door to hand them to the two men.

"Thank you for your hard work. The weather is hot, have some drinks to cool off."

"Thank you!" The two men took the iced cola and saluted Lu Siye.

Lu Siye hurriedly returned a military salute, watched them walk down the stairs, and then turned to close the door.

After walking down the stairs and feeling the gaze behind them disappear, the two men finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This fierce man who could dismantle an Earth-bound Spirit along with its binding ground doesn't seem as scary as imagined!"

"Indeed, but I heard that this fierce man only joined the Evil Suppression Bureau recently. Yet, looking at the Qi and blood on him, it's almost comparable to a veteran Night Patrol Envoy!"

"I think his strength might have long surpassed those veteran Night Patrol Envoys. After all, those were Earth-bound Spirits that even veteran Night Patrol Envoys find troublesome, yet he solved two of them in one go."

"Another Prodigy has emerged in our Tianhai City; the common people will be much safer now!"

"Yes, it would be great if there were more Prodigies like this!"

...

Lu Siye in the living room did not know how those two had just evaluated him; his eyes were now only on the weapon and Secret Manual on the table.

Lu Siye opened the wooden box directly, and a scorching aura radiated out, raising the temperature of the entire living room by several degrees.

The Tang Hengdao before him, named the blazing blood saber, had a hilt, guard, and blade that were all black, with some seemingly mysterious red patterns distributed on them.

The blade was snow-white and, under the illumination of the lights, shimmered with a piercing cold light.

Lu Siye reached out and gripped the hilt. In an instant, he felt the Qi and blood within his body oscillating rhythmically, as if it had resonated with this Hengdao.

With a thought, the Qi and blood in his body gathered in his palm. The red patterns on the hilt lit up slightly, and a moderate suction force came from it.

The Qi and blood, which originally could not leave his body, began to leave his palm under the effect of the suction and injected into the patterns.

Subsequently, the patterns on the hilt began to light up rapidly, followed by the guard and the blade.

In the blink of an eye, all the patterns lit up like flowing light.

Lu Siye suddenly had an illusion that this Hengdao had now become a part of his own body.

No! This was not an illusion!

His Qi and blood could truly be conducted into the blade. Although there was some consumption during the conduction process, it still allowed the blade to connect with his own Qi and blood, enabling him to wield it as easily as an extension of his own arm.

Move with a thought, retract with a thought!

A good blade, truly a good blade!

These 72 points were truly worth spending!

"System, strengthen the blazing blood saber!" Lu Siye silently thought.

"Does the host wish to consume 600 Fear Points to strengthen the blazing blood saber?"

"Hiss~ No!" Lu Siye gasped; he hadn't expected that the first strengthening would require so many Fear Points.

He felt increasingly poor.

However, thinking from another angle, the more Fear Points required, the higher the quality of this blazing blood saber.

He had inadvertently discovered another function of the System's strengthening feature: identifying the quality of items.

His mood immediately improved!

Lu Siye did not choose to strengthen it; he planned to finish Cultivating the third level of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, and if there were still excess Fear Points, he would then choose to strengthen it.

He put the Hengdao back into the wooden box, turned to pick up the Soul-Severing Blade Technique, and opened it to read.

The Soul-Severing Blade Technique was created by the Heavenly Injury Star, one of the top experts of the Evil Suppression Bureau and ranked among the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits.

It is a blade technique specifically targeting the seven souls of Ghosts; with one strike, the body and soul are dispersed.

This blade technique has only three Realms: Introductory, Proficient, and Major Achievement.

Cultivating it to Major Achievement allows one to sever only the seven souls without harming the physical body; it is the best blade technique for dealing with Ghost possession.

"System, strengthen the Soul-Severing Blade Technique!"

"Does the host wish to consume 200 Fear Points to strengthen the Soul-Severing Blade Technique?"

Lu Siye listened to the prompt in his ear and fell into deep thought.

He did not know if these 200 Fear Points were the cost for strengthening to the next stage or the cost for strengthening the current three levels of the blade technique.

"No!" After thinking about it, Lu Siye decided it was better to save them for now.

Currently, this blade technique was enough for his own use; he had better finish Cultivating the third level of the Cultivation Technique to Perfection first.

Thinking this, he stored the blazing blood saber and the blade technique Secret Manual into the System Space.

Then he began to strengthen the red ginseng water and continued to Cultivate the third level of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art.
