Chapter 181: Chapter 165: One Hundred Days Tempering the Sword, Subduing Giant’s Blood

"I absolutely cannot stop here."

The familiar figures of family and friends flashed before Su Mu’s eyes, the light dispelling the darkness.

Coldness, loneliness, and despair faded away as Su Mu took a deep breath after enduring the ninth near-death experience, his resolve unwavering, and then began the ninth simulation.

Having gone through several simulations, Su Mu was already well-versed in the simulation process.

After the second simulated death, he stopped being aggressive, completing three days of simulation normally in subsequent attempts, and thus Su Mu discovered an incredibly exceptional aspect of this superpower.

That is, during the simulation, the timeline of his true self was stationary, meaning time had stopped flowing, and the three-day simulation was entirely additional time.

Su Mu did not waste a single moment, a flash of spiritual light in his hand, producing the tip of the blood-colored spear.

"Seventh time."

Indeed, Su Mu was not retrieving the blood-colored spear tip for the first time; counting this time, it was actually the seventh time.

He was unsure of the material used to craft Nanu’s blood-colored spear, having never seen such material before. Su Mu speculated it was a unique metal from the alien race, extremely extraordinary.

After all, it’s a material that can survive a space rift.

But those details were not important. Su Mu only needed to know that the Golden Essence Qi extracted from devouring this object surpassed that from thirty Fifth Level weapons.

After discovering this, Su Mu found a method to quickly enhance his Golden Essence Qi.

That was through repeatedly devouring the blood-colored spear tip in future simulations, and finally choosing to acquire the cultivation experience of the Blood Soldier Secret Technique at the end of the simulation.

Thus, he repeatedly obtained the Golden Essence Qi from devouring the blood-colored spear tip.

Through several simulations, he identified a few weapons with a high amount of Golden Essence Qi, and by replicating the method, the Golden Essence Qi within Su Mu gradually filled.

No one knew how much time had passed before the blood-colored spear disappeared, but there was no need to count. Thirty-nine strands of Golden Essence Qi appeared in Su Mu’s body, without a single strand missing.

"Continue."

While cultivating the Blood Soldier Secret Technique, Su Mu did not neglect the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique; he had already successfully begun without external aids, although the cultivation efficiency would be reduced.

But this was not a significant issue for Su Mu, his Breathing Technique had reached great success, and he had hundreds of pounds of Spirit Marrow in his Space Ring, so his cultivation speed remained astonishing.

When one devotes wholeheartedly to cultivation, time flies by swiftly.

[0 days 0 hours 5 minutes 23 seconds]

"This simulation surpassed the three hundred mark, extracting a total of three hundred and fifteen strands of Golden Essence Qi, nineteen more than last time."

"Counting this time, the Golden Essence Qi within me amounts to one thousand four hundred and fifty-nine strands."

Su Mu did not disturb the cultivating Tantai Yan, silently rising and moving to the outer part of the cave.

With a thought.

The Condensed Blood in his body merged with the Golden Essence Qi, under Su Mu’s control, a long saber emerged in his hand. If anyone else was present, they would surely notice that this Blood Saber looked identical to the Red Flame Saber.

The next second, an astounding scene emerged.

With a flick of the Blood Saber in his hand, the Golden Essence Qi transformed instantly, and a bizarre armor slowly materialized on his body surface, far cruder than the Armor of Qi Blood Nanu cast, and could not cover the entire body, only some peculiar parts.

If observed closely, it would become apparent that the locations on the armor corresponded to the Five Viscera, Six Viscera, and some crucial meridians.

This Blood Armor was Su Mu’s mimicry inspired by Nanu’s technique using Golden Essence Qi, currently only a semi-finished product, at best.

"Attempting to form a full armor with over a thousand strands of Golden Essence Qi is still too forceful, far from matching the sophistication of Nanu’s technique."

"The formation speed also needs to be accelerated; I wonder about its power?"

[0 days 0 hours 3 minutes 58 seconds]

With just over three minutes remaining, Su Mu took a deep breath, anticipation on his face, but forming the armor was not his ultimate goal. He entered a state of introspection.

Then began directing the Qi Blood Armor condensed from Golden Essence Qi back into his body, the armor slowly flowing back, merging with flesh and blood.

Suddenly, the Qi and Blood within surged, Su Mu’s entire body convulsing incessantly, this attempt had also failed, but his face was not one of disappointment, but rather showed a trace of joy.

"This time was closer to success than the last."

"My approach is not wrong."

[Countdown ends, this simulation is over.]

[The duration of this simulation: 3 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds.]

[You gained the following from this simulation: Blood Soldier Secret Technique cultivation experience, Blood Control Secret Technique cultivation experience, Fixed Star Body Refining Technique cultivation experience, Nameless Breathing Technique cultivation experience...]

[You can choose one reward to bring back to reality at the cost of losing sight in your left eye for the next month.]

[Please make your choice!]

"Just one eye, for only a month."

Su Mu’s heart was not too stirred, and suddenly his left eye throbbed with pain, blood trickling from his eye corner, and the world before him became slightly blurred.

A cluster of spiritual light floated into Su Mu’s body, and in an instant, three hundred and fifteen strands of Golden Essence Qi appeared in his body from nowhere.

The stopwatch started to count down.

"Su Mu... what happened to you, your left eye?" Tantai Yan soon noticed the anomaly, as Su Mu’s originally deep left eye had become dark and hollow.

Su Mu shook his head, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"Are you really... okay?"

Tantai Yan displayed deep concern, feeling a touch of heartache. She noticed something off about Su Mu recently, but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
