Chapter 70: Work Hard, Young Man! (2)

And the word “blood” became a little redder.

“How do you feel?”

“The divine rune seems a little stronger. I can’t feel anything else.”

“Stronger?”

Liu Wenyan fell into deep thought and quickly said, “In that case, this divine rune can strengthen itself with blood, which is a good thing. Divine runes can usually only be strengthened by willpower. Some special divine runes can be strengthened in other ways.”

“Your divine rune has only had its first outline. To be able to strengthen yourself with blood is considered a special divine rune.”

“Not bad!”

“The first divine rune has that characteristic. It will be a great help in your growth.”

Liu Wenyan kept nodding. Su Yu’s willpower was still weak, so it was very difficult for him to strengthen his divine rune. It was very good that his divine rune could absorb blood to strengthen itself.

“Teacher, do you think I can condense my blood essence?”

Su Yu hurriedly said, “I heard that some people’s divine rune can condense blood essence.”

“This one of yours won’t do.”

Liu Wenyan shook his head. “Your divine rune is too weak, and they absorb blood to strengthen itself. Therefore, the power of your blood has been consumed, not gathered together.”

“Of course …”

Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “It might not be impossible. The divine rune is still weak now. If they become stronger, they might be able to devour the power in some weak blood and extract blood essence.”

“You can’t try this now, and there’s no need to. We’ll talk about it when you reach the materialization stage or the late-stage nurturing. Even if you can refine it now, with your absorption speed, you might take ten days to half a month to condense a drop of blood essence. The gains won’t make up for the losses.”

When Su Yu heard this, he was instantly disappointed. It seemed like his dream of becoming rich had been shattered and his dream of becoming bankrupt was about to come true.

This guy really only sucked blood and didn’t make money!

“Illusion, blood-sucking, and enhancement. Three characteristics!”

Liu Wenyannodded again. “Not bad.”

As for refining blood essence, he could not tell at the moment. This was not a big use, so Liu Wenyan did not care too much.

When Su Yu heard this, he said happily, “Teacher, does the three characteristics mean that the divine rune is very strong?”

He had heard from Liu Wenyan that many divine runes only had one characteristic.

“Strong?”

Liu Wenyan smiled faintly and said, “How many characteristics it has doesn’t mean anything. For example, I have a divine rune that specializes in breaking the enemy’s sea of will. It only has this characteristic! Which do you think is better, this divine rune or your divine rune?”

“…”

Su Yu was embarrassed. That was true. Breaking the Sea of Will was too powerful.

“So don’t look at quantity but the quality. See if it’s strong.”

“Let’s just say that the fourth-generation dean of the Great Xia Civilization Academy left behind the word ‘Yuan’ and can only absorb vitality to form an Origin Qi Treasure Realm. Then let me ask you, is this function strong or weak?”

Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “Actually, it’s very weak. Do you think you’re stronger just because you rely on this divine rune to absorb vitality and recover faster than others? But to the entire human race, this divine rune is more valuable than a Mountain Sea Realm expert!”

“No matter how strong your Mountain Sea Realm is, you’re still alone. However, the Origin Qi Treasure Realm can benefit countless students of the Great Xia Civilization Academy. Then, do you think this divine text is strong?”

Su Yu understood and nodded slightly. He said, “I understand what Teacher means. The strength doesn’t depend on the characteristics, but how and where it is used. The ‘Yuan’ divine rune isn’t worth mentioning in battle, but in terms of support, it’s a treasure!”

“That’s right!”

Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “That’s why you don’t have to worry too much about how many characteristics there are. It’s actually not bad to have many characteristics in the early stages, but in the later stages, they will usually pursue single-mindedness. It’s easier to nurture them to the extreme.”

With that, he threw the blood essence of the Fire Pig to Su Yu and said, “Try absorbing the blood essence again. You won’t be able to use the blood essence of the Thousand Pound Realm, but divine runes don’t care about that. I’m worried that you won’t be able to withstand it.”

Su Yu did not stand on ceremony and continued to control the “blood” lackey to absorb it.

This time, it was difficult and slow!

Su Yu could feel that his willpower was being consumed. The “blood” lackey was also trembling like a human drinking water from a pipe that was dozens of meters long. It was extremely difficult.

The “blood” lackey, which had been excited when he saw the blood essence, wilted this time.

When it was really sucked, it could not suck it up!

After using all his strength, Su Yu felt like his head was about to explode. Only then did the blood essence of the fire pig in front of him tremble slightly, but there wasn’t much of a change.

Liu Wenyan saw something different and smiled. “You’ve absorbed about 1% of the essence. It seems that the power of blood-sucking is still very weak.”

At this moment, Su Yu could feel his “blood” lackey being wrapped in blood in his mind. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ‘Aren’t you going to absorb it?’

After sucking a little blood essence, this guy pretended to be dead, as if it was exhausted.

I thought you were so powerful, but you’re so weak!

1% of a drop of a Thousand Pound’s blood essence had been absorbed. Why were you jumping around previously?!

“Teacher, can sucking blood strengthen the divine rune?”

“That should work. Depends on the characteristics of your own divine rune!”

Liu Wenyan nodded and warned, “Don’t absorb it recklessly. It’s not good for the divine rune to be too powerful! You’re not strong enough and your willpower isn’t strong. Let’s put it this way. Once the divine rune reach a certain level of strength, your willpower won’t be able to suppress them and they will counterattack!”

“The backlash is still light. I’m just afraid… it will suck your willpower dry!”

Liu Wenyan said solemnly, “A few of people from that batch just died like that back then! These idiots blindly strengthened their divine runes. Among them, there were also a few who were like you. Divine runes could be strengthened by external means. They paid a huge price to strengthen the divine runes. As a result, the divine runes became stronger. In turn, it required a lot of willpower to nurture them…”
