The orderly Medicine Hall became chaotic in an instant due to Shangguan Tuo’s frenzy. The crowd scattered, and the most unfortunate ones were the few trainees at the entrance of the Medicine Hall about to receive the Magical Beast Blood, who failed to escape in time and were injured by Shangguan Tuo’s chillingly sharp fighting spirit. "Beast Blood Fusion failure?" Yun Sheng gestured for Gu Feng to start chanting immediately, to prevent the rampaging fighting spirit of that warrior from harming them. "If Beast Blood Fusion can be successful, naturally there can be failures too, but Brother Shangguan has fused several times already, logically he shouldn’t have failed," Lei Hu briefly explained the function of Beast Blood Fusion. For Mages, Beast Blood Fusion is unfamiliar, but for Martial Artists, especially those from the major Martial Arts Halls of the continent, Beast Blood Fusion is the unequivocal choice for breaking through bottlenecks and advancing to higher Martial Realms. As everyone knows, although Demon Beasts lack intelligence, their magic perception abilities (soul stones) and physiques (Beast Blood and Beast Meat) are stronger than those of humans. Unlike Mages of the Wuji Continent who don’t possess Magic Wands or inlay Magic Soul Stones, Martial Artists can utilize the Magical Beast Blood to strengthen their bodies. Every Martial Artist can collect Beast Blood to perform Beast Blood Fusion when breaking through Martial Realms. Through Beast Blood Fusion, one can obtain an even more formidable physique, thereby better absorbing the fighting spirit between heaven and earth. Beast Blood Fusion is divided into nine levels, and the effects differ greatly depending on the cultivation and talent of the Martial Artist. However, the greater the benefit, the higher the risk. Most Magical Beast Blood carries a strong violent aura, making Beast Blood Fusion very dangerous. Especially when fusing with High-level Magical Beast Blood, the slightest negligence of the violent aura can lead to demonic possession, making one lose humanity and become murderous like a Demon Beast. The Brother Shangguan in Lei Hu’s mouth, that is, Shangguan Tuo, is a notable figure even in the Inner Hall, his cultivation is only slightly behind Cheng Bai. His cultivation has been stuck at the Peak of Martial Venerate for the past year, unable to break through to the next Martial Realm. Not long ago, there were rumors in the Martial Arts Hall that once the Blood Cloud Beast’s blood snatched from the Crown Prince was successfully fused, it would have the effect of breaking through the Martial Realm. It’s very likely that Shangguan Tuo had fused with the blood of that Blood Cloud Beast. Yun Sheng saw the Medicine Hall in chaos, casualties all around, and knew that if he did not act, the casualties would be even more severe. Yun Sheng asked Lei Hu briefly, then suddenly shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Bu!" Shangguan Tuo’s body abruptly halted, as if with hesitation, he looked back. Almost at the same time, Yun Sheng’s body flitted like a butterfly shuttle, moving behind Shangguan Tuo, his hands carrying a Bone Needle, aimed at Shangguan Tuo’s sleep acupuncture point. Shangguan Tuo found no one in front of him and was furiously enraged. Feeling someone attacking from behind, when Yun Sheng’s Bone Needle pierced forward, Shangguan Tuo’s body surface unexpectedly produced a layer of fighting spirit. Yun Sheng’s stab was repelled slightly by Shangguan Tuo’s fighting spirit. Luckily, Yun Sheng had been cautious, and despite the failure of the Bright Needle, the power of the Dark Needle unceremoniously pierced into Shangguan Tuo’s body. In the next moment, the previously frenzied Shangguan Tuo wobbled and fell to the ground. At this time, an elder rushed out from inside the Medicine Hall. Seeing Yun Sheng standing beside Shangguan Tuo, he rebuked sharply, "Who are you!" "Elder Zhang, she is an exchange student from the Magic Academy. We came to collect the Beast Blood, not expecting to run into Brother Shangguan rampaging out," Lei Hu hurriedly stepped forward and spoke respectfully. Upon hearing the name of the newcomer and observing his appearance, Yun Sheng noticed that his facial features resembled Zhang Zipo by seventy to eighty percent, just slightly older in age. This man was clothed in a Doctor Robe, and Yun Sheng noticed a Healer Token from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion hanging from his belt, emblematic of the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor. It seemed that this person was none other than Zhang Zipo’s father, Elder Zhang of the Wuxuan Wuji Hall’s Medicine Hall, whom Luo Qing had mentioned earlier. Once Elder Zhang heard that Yun Sheng was an exchange student from the Royal Magic Academy, he sniffed disdainfully through his nose. Elder Zhang, with the single name of Zhang, was originally a Medicine Man in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, but he had some expertise in alchemy, and after obtaining the qualifications of a Bell Doctor, he left the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. After leaving the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Elder Zhang serendipitously obtained the alchemy insights of a former Imperial Physician and, with this knowledge, entered the Medicine Hall of the Wuxuan Wuji Hall. Boasting his alchemy skills, he regarded no one else within the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, disrespectfully dismissive of his peers. When his only son Zhang Zipo fell ill recently, Elder Zhang examined him and discovered not an illness but a special kind of Fragrance Powder on his skin. Furious that someone would dare poison his son, Elder Zhang questioned Zhang Zipo, and it was only after some back and forth did he learn that Zhang Zipo had smelled a fragrance on some female warriors from the Outer Hall. After detecting the fragrance, Zhang Zipo’s whole body broke out in red rashes; any touch would cause intolerable itching. Elder Zhang summoned several female warriors, and after an interrogation, found a sachet on them. The sachet contained a kind of Medicinal Herb, which upon investigation, was found to have originated from a female Mage from the Royal Magic Academy. It was then that Elder Zhang and Zhang Zipo realized that Yun Sheng had meddled with it. What was most infuriating was that Elder Zhang could not outright accuse Zhang Zipo of being poisoned, because if Zhang Zipo had not been handsy with the female trainees, he would never have come into contact with such Fragrance Powder. Elder Zhang was not one to suffer in silence. Today, with Yun Sheng and the others arriving at his doorstep, he would not pass up this excellent opportunity to teach them a lesson. "Today’s Beast Blood has been fully claimed. Not only for today, but you also need not come to claim it next month. The Medicine Hall provides Beast Blood Elixirs only to Martial Artists. As for you, Lei Hu, being a Martial Artist yet degrading yourself to fraternize with Mages, you need not come for Beast Blood in the future either," said Elder Zhang, who as the elder of the Medicine Hall, had control over the allocation of Elixirs and Beast Blood, effectively implicating Lei Hu as well. "Elder Zhang!" Lei Hu was taken aback. The age of thirteen or fourteen is the prime time for Martial Artists to strengthen their bodies. Without Beast Blood, he would fall far behind his peers of the same age, and he would have no chance of entering the Inner Hall in the future. Elder Zhang was smug with pride, considering Lei Hu, a trainee with no background and only mediocre strength, beneath his concern to offend. Yun Sheng watched with clenched teeth in vexation. Like father, like son—it was clear that if Zhang Zipo had such a disposition, his father Elder Zhang was certainly not anything good either. "Lei Hu, don’t beg him. We don’t need his Beast Blood anyhow. The reason Brother Shangguan became like this is also due to the Beast Blood he cultivated with," Yun Sheng said sarcastically, disdainful of begging such a person.
