Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong 244 Bloodline Essence

After a moment, Sheng Feilong ordered his thoughts and answered Mu Ye's question in a calm manner. "There isn't really much we've been talking about. I thought the Innate Secret Technique's explanations sounded similar to how a Soul Bone would be described, so I asked about it, then changed a few things up so that I thought it would be possible for me to do."

Sheng Feilong shrugged slightly, pausing for a moment in between sentences. "I got the hang of it after a while when I realized how similar it is to applying ones Spirit Power to physical attacks. I basically did that, but backwards and it somehow worked. The old lion king said that Soul Beasts would condense their Soul Bones over the course of many years and, not having that time, I opted for trying to replicate a Soul Power Vortex using my blood's energy."

She Meixiao and Song Weihan glanced at each other, having a knowing look in their eyes as they could somehow understand where Sheng Feilong was coming from. Moreover, with the many unusual things and secrets he had, replicating what members of the Body Sect could do didn't surprise them too much.

Zhen Hua, on the other hand, stared at Sheng Feilong with a dumbfounded expression; He just couldn't put his head around how any human could get the idea that they'd just try and create a Soul Bone like Soul Beasts do... Even with the body-obsessed weirdos he knew thanks to Mu Ye, he'd never seen someone speak about something like that.

Mu Ye didn't show as much of a reaction as the others; He nodded in a casual manner as if what Sheng Feilong did was to be expected, then stood up and stretched his shoulders. "I'll watch over your training with the Innate Secret Technique the next few days. Once your Blood Core has fully formed, we'll continue with the second layer of the technique. Oh right, get over here every evening; I'll make sure you have all the nutrients you need."

Sheng Feilong nodded his head, after which Mu Ye immediately turned around to leave, not waiting for anyone else to say something in those regards. Sheng Feilong also went back to eating the dessert Mu Ye made, ignoring the stupefied look on Zhen Hua's face and his Masters' wry looks.

The dinner concluded in a peaceful manner, as Song Weihan and the others didn't question Sheng Feilong any further; They didn't cultivate the Innate Secret Technique and, despite his ideas about Soul Bones sounding interesting, wouldn't ask him too much about his cultivation methods.

In the evening, Sheng Feilong sparred a bit with Yuanen Yehui; The latter had spent the afternoon with training, further familiarizing herself with the new technique's Mu Ye taught her. It has only been a few days, yet her combat prowess had soared considerably; Her every move became sharper and filled to the brim with concentrated power – Mu Ye was spot on in his a.n.a.lysis of her needs and the fighting techniques suited her perfectly, to the point where even Yuanen Yehui herself couldn't quite belief how miraculous it was.

The next few days, Sheng Feilong spent nearly exclusively with training the Innate Secret Technique; His Blood Energy Vortex was continuously drawing the power from his blood and was growing bigger by the minute, while Sheng Feilong used his training time to actively speed the process up and condensing the vortex.

He would keep this up until he felt worn out and hungry, which was when he would follow Mu Ye to the dining area, lavishing himself in the most wondrous delicacies made by one of the best cooks of this words using the most wondrous ingredients.

After about half a week of this lifestyle, the Blood Energy Vortex in Sheng Feilong's Dantian had become so condensed that it seemed to be glowing like a galaxy from after due to the highly concentrated energy. It's size wasn't that different compared to the first day, but it was on a completely different level.

At one point, the old lion king mused that the vortex reminded it of the time when its own Soul Bone was already a few thousand years old; For the old lion king, this kind of speed of growth was simply mind boggling, yet it resigned itself to blaming humans for being too different from Soul Beasts as to not having to think about this too much.

Anther few days later, Sheng Feilong started feeling weird during the training session; His Blood Energy Vortex had become so oversaturated with energy, that he was unable to draw any more energy from his blood into it without destabilizing the structure.

He exited meditation and looked at Mu Ye, who was sitting on the ground cross legged with his head resting in his palm as he stared at Sheng Feilong, just a few feet away from the latter. He rose an eyebrow, speaking in a surprised tone. "You're already done? That's early."

Sheng Feilong shook his head lightly, looking at Mu Ye with a calm gaze. He had become quite accustomed to Mu Ye's antics and personality, so he wasn't as stiff in dealing with him as before. "No, that's not quite it. I seem to have a critical point; The vortex has reached the maximum of energy it can handle and I can't infuse any more into it without destabilizing the whole thing."

"Oh, that sounds promising. With the strength of your bloodline and the amount of nutrients you've consumed these past few days, it's not surprising that you're at that stage already. The next part's forming your Blood Core." Mu Ye spoke in an more interested tone with an expectant look on his face.

Sheng Feilong nodded this time, but fell into thoughts, speaking of them out loud. "But, how do I form the Blood Core now? Soul Beasts infuse their spirit into their Soul Bones, but I already have a Soul Core that's connected to my Spirit Essence..."

Mu Ye's lips twitched, while his tone got a bit more aggressive. "Why are you comparing everything to Soul Bones? Just think for yourself – What other powerful could you use to form your Blood Core from your Blood Energy Vortex, which uses your blood's energy as its base..."

Sheng Feilong tilted his head to the side, looking at Mu Ye with a questioning expression. The latter sighed, remembering that he never explained things properly. "It's a special property of the Innate Secret Technique. I told you it's the best technique for you considering your powerful bloodline, right? Well, in fact, the Innate Secret Technique cannot be cultivated by anyone without a special bloodline, be it hereditary or artificial."

His speech became more pa.s.sionate and he started motioning with his hands while explaining. "At it's very core, every bloodline, no matter how weak or powerful, has something that we call a Bloodline Essence. That name is, of course, not a coincidence; The Innate Secret Technique's Blood Core is similar to a Soul Core – So of course it would need something similar to a Spirit Essence to become complete. That's where the Bloodline Essence comes into play."

"...It takes the place of the of the Spirit Essence in the middle of the 'Blood Core' and finalizes its creation? Like that, it becomes the literal core of my bloodline, making its manipulation even easier and more controlled..." Sheng Feilong started talking where Mu Ye left off, slowly drifting off into his own thoughts. Mu Ye was about to add something more, but seeing Sheng Feilong's reaction, he decided to remain silent.

'The essence of my bloodline, it is... The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's are most renown for their namesake, the third eye which some of them are able to open. Only those with the most powerful and most pure bloodlines among them awaken it, and there is only ever one golden lion that actually manages to open its third eye.' Sheng Feilong's thoughts spun, while he unconsciously entered a state of meditation again.

'Most of them create a Skull type Soul Bone; Could that also be because of the third eye? Because it's the essence of the bloodline and thus offers the most or greatest benefits to them. Even the old lion king once had a Skull type Soul bone before getting heavily injured and needing a Torso type to insure its survival. But... How do I make use of that? How do I... take a part of the third eye and infuse it into the Blood Core?' Inspecting his own body, Sheng Feilong mused about his next step of action.

While thinking about how to use the third eye, his his bloodline's energy started stirring up on its own, unbeknownst to Sheng Feilong, who was still in deep thoughts. The third eye on his forehead opened up, his Soul Power and Spirit Power being unleashed as they weren't kept under control together with it.

Only when he felt his own Spirit Power blasting forth did Sheng Feilong notice the changes. Near instantly, he reigned his Soul Power and Spirit Power back in, noticing his bloodline's power acting on its own. He tried to stop it and tried to deactivate the third eye, yet the moment he came into contact with it, the energy within his blood exploded out of his control, all of it madly rushing towards his Dantian!
