"Blood Fist"

I immediately used the blood energy to cover my hands. The next second, my right hand snapped out. My fist landed on the weapon, and the next second, the weapon shattered.

My fist then landed on the Gold Mark Warrior’s body.

Boom!

Upon contact, the warrior’s body exploded into pieces. The blood-mixed body parts landed on the ground like a shattered watermelon.

Swoosh!

The next second, I disappeared from the spot and struck the other two warriors with a similar punch. The punch tore through their bodies. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Like ragged bags, they crashed to the ground with a heavy thud. The face of the Purple Mark Warrior changed drastically.

He fled from the spot. Seeing that, I used the lightning phantom movement and caught up to him. Then, I did the same attack.

My fist went rocketing towards his back.

Puchak!

The fist broke the spinal cord of the warrior. The blood energy destroyed the inner organs and bones. The vitality quickly ended, and the lifeless body of the warrior dropped to the ground.

Then I landed on the ground and removed the storage ring. I checked the inventory. I found unnecessary items. Not a single useful thing was found.

I put away the storage ring before continuing the journey toward Brook Bridge City.

Time passed.

I reached the city late at night. Surprisingly, I didn’t face any trouble on the way here. As usual, I tried to enter the city.

But this time, I didn’t show the Star University Badge. I bribed the guards like a few others before entering the city.

At night time, there is not a very strict watch. Since the city is one of the biggest cities under the Star University Territory, no one dares to cause problems here.

After getting inside the city, I found an inn to settle down. Then I began to think about the plan. This city is huge. The foster family must have a large number of members.

I decided to go around the city tomorrow to collect information. But I’m not going to seek help from the City Lord.

The large families are located here. They must have had a working relationship with the City Lord already. If a Warrior Family like the Foster Family was involved, then the City Lord will be punished as well.

Because the Foster Family’s heir is a member of one of the top ten factions, he won’t escape the crime. I have to deal with the situation carefully.

The next morning,

After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine. I spent one hour in the bath. Then I thought of the purple lightning method.

It’s one step away from a breakthrough. The blood method breakthrough brought me a surprise, but I have to use the purple lightning method to avoid exposing my identity.

The city must have a private training facility as well. I should find an essence chamber to practice. Then I went to get ready.

2 hours later,

I left the inn and asked around the people to find out about the training facility. I went to a popular training facility in a cab.

It’s called the Maroon Facility. The name comes from the business family connected to Star University.

My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I arrived at the place 20 minutes later. The facility is a towering building. I paid the fare to the driver before going into the towering building.

I entered inside and came to the front desk. There was staff inside. I inquired about the essence chamber rooms.

"The essence chambers are divided into two qualities. The low-grade essence chamber is 250 essence stones per hour. The high-grade essence chamber is 500 essence stones per hour," a middle-aged man said.

Hearing that, I nodded my head and paid 1,000 essence stones to the staff. I needed to practice for at least 2 hours.

One of the staff members then guided me to the essence chamber room.

It’s located on the ground floor itself. We arrived in front of the room.

The staff used a code to open the essence chamber room.

Creak!

The room door opened.

"The door will open automatically after 2 hours," after saying that, the staff left.

Then I entered the room. The door behind me shut automatically.

Buzz!

The energy began to flow from the inlet. In the blink of an eye, the energy spread across the room. The energy was dense and pure.

I sat cross-legged on the ground. Then I closed my eyes and began to run the purple lightning method.

The next second, the lightning bolt rune in my mind began to flicker.

The lightning force from the world energy entered my body. I began to circulate the purple lightning force through my body.

After circulation, the purple lightning force entered the dantian. I continued to repeat the process.

At the same time, I began to pay attention to the lightning bolt rune in my mind. The lightning bolt rune was flickering like a heartbeat.

The rune grew denser and darker. I only had 2 hours. I paid full attention to the lightning bolt rune.

Two hours passed by.

The energy began to recede in the chamber room. When all the energy dried out, the chamber room door opened.

Creak!

Seeing that, I stood up and exited the place. The facility had a bathing room as well. I reached the end of the facility and found a big bathroom.

I entered inside one of the cubicles. I spent 20 minutes in the bath. Then I changed into different clothes later.

A few minutes later,

I left the room and came to the front desk. I checked out and exited the facility. Now I have to get information. My gaze then fell on the restaurants.

They are within walking distance from here. I started walking towards one big restaurant. I quickly arrived at the place and saw there was a considerable crowd inside.

I walked into the shop and found an empty table and chair. I sat down and waited for the staff to come.

At the same time, I began to listen to the conversations around me.
