Meng Chao's mind raced, and he performed the final deduction.
Based on his past experience, every time he activated and leveled up a skill, the information wave in his brain would explode, and it would bring drastic changes to his muscle fibers and nerve endings.
During the entire process, his body would experience great pain and react in an uncoordinated manner, and it would last from a few seconds to a few minutes.
That was when he was at his weakest.
Hence, Meng Chao usually only dared to activate and level up his skills in a cultivation room and in an absolutely safe environment.
The Vortex clearly would not give him dozens of seconds and just watch him level up.
However, when Meng Chao cast his gaze at the Vortex, he noticed that the creature was still struggling in a corner.
It had just been struck by the Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash that A 'Ji had released by burning his life. The destructive power was not so easy to get rid of.
The Vortex had only managed to extinguish the golden spirit flames around its wound after much difficulty, but when Meng Chao rammed into it with all his might, its injuries flared up again. The golden flames reignited and tore its body in half.
It hissed and squirmed madly. It was powerless and angry.
'I'll give it my all!'
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and decided to stake everything on this one gamble.
Now, he could only gamble on whether he or the Vortex's recovery speed was faster.
He no longer hesitated and poured hundreds of thousands of contribution points into Battle God Lei Zonglie's famous technique.
'Divine Nine Dragon Seals, level up!'
In an instant …
Hundreds of thousands of dazzling golden sparks exploded in the depths of his brain.
The golden wave surged into each of his brain's sulci.
Each shattered spark gushed out an endless stream of information, and it instantly filled Meng Chao's soul and body.
The Hell's Blood that had just surged into his body and was causing havoc was sucked clean, as if it had run into a super suction pump.
"AHHHHH!"
The heart-wrenching pain caused Meng Chao to scream inhumanly.
As the astronomical amount of contribution points, spirit energy, and brain cells exploded at the same time, an endless amount of information related to Divine Nine Dragon Seals was branded into the depths of his cells in an incredibly rich, detailed, and lively manner.
It was the Basic Theory of Divine Nine Dragon Seals taught by Agricultural University's martial arts course.
Battle God Lei Zongchao personally wrote the Divine Nine Dragon Seal's principles.
Peerless experts from all walks of life published research papers and research reports on Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
In the underground life science forum, all sorts of unorthodox experts tossed out strange theories about Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
There were also Battle God Lei Zongchao's cultivation and battle videos.
Lei Zongchao was the most impartial superhuman in Dragon City.
He had never concealed any cultivation secrets.
They even took the initiative to wear various cameras and physiological parameter monitoring chips to train and fight, so that all of humanity could collect a large amount of data, perfecting and enriching the psionic martial arts system of Earthlings.
Hence, Meng Chao had long since read a lot of information related to Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
But in the past, since this amazing technique was just too difficult to understand, even if he forcefully circulated his spirit energy and stimulated his brain cells to memorize the entire cultivation technique, incantation, and even the thesis without missing a single word, it was still difficult for him to understand Battle God Lei Zongchao's profound words.
It was just like how no matter how smart an elementary school student was, even if he could memorize all the textbooks and problem sets in university, it would be impossible for him to understand the profound secrets of advanced mathematics.
It was the same logic. Even if Meng Chao watched Lei Zongchao's cultivation and battle videos without blinking for a few hours, it was still difficult for him to understand the Battle God's minor actions. He also found it difficult to understand just what sort of brilliant scientific theory was contained in the slight tremble of his nose hairs when he circulated his breathing technique.
It was the same posture, the same angle, the same arm strength, and the same torque. The Battle God did not even use a lot of spirit energy, so why was he able to easily deliver a force that was one hundred times stronger than that of a normal superhuman?
This was an unsolved mystery that had troubled Meng Chao for a long time.
But now …
As the hundreds of thousands of contribution points and the rampaging spirit energy contained in Hell's Blood were all used up by Meng Chao in one go.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out in his head.
It was as if he had been enlightened by Battle God Lei Zongchao, and everything became clear.
In the dozens of incantations, mental cultivation methods, theses, and monographs related to Divine Nine Dragon Seals, the notes, formulas, and diagrams that were originally completely unrelated were suddenly connected together in a manner that was similar to how the grass snakes were gray, and the veins were thousands of miles long.
And the originally "normal" cultivation and fighting videos of Lei Zongchao suddenly became incredibly clear and ingenious. They contained touching details that countless powerful fighters would not be able to discover even if they held a microscope.
Meng Chao did not dare say that he had learned Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
But at the very least, he was enlightened. He understood the profundity of Divine Nine Dragon Seals and what Battle God Lei Zongchao was doing!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The information wave continued exploding.
A brand new, endless, and incredibly brilliant world of martial arts slowly opened up before Meng Chao's eyes.
[Used 8,931 contribution points. Increased Skillfulness of Divine Nine Dragon Seals by 1%.
[Used 9,111 contribution points. Increased Skillfulness of Divine Nine Dragon Seals by 1%.
[Used 30,334 contribution points. Activated the breathing technique that came with Divine Nine Dragon Seals. Increased Skillfulness of Divine Nine Dragon Seals by 7%.]
The clear and pleasant sound of coins knocking against each other rose in Meng Chao's ears.
Each sound that sounded like the sounds of nature meant that he had gained a deeper understanding of Battle God Lei Zongchao's martial arts theories.
As he spent almost all of his hundreds of thousands of contribution points, the Hell's Blood that seeped into his body through his wounds was digested and absorbed. Not a single drop was left behind.
But he did not have his fill. In fact, his great appetite was stimulated.
'Not enough! It's still not enough!'
The billions of cells in Meng Chao's body protested at the same time.
He thought that absorbing Hell's Blood through his wounds was too slow, so he decided to turn around and bury his entire face in the shining, dark blue medicine. Then, he started gulping it down.
"Meng … Meng Chao, what are you doing?!"
Lu Siya finally recovered from the pain of her vertebrae being practically crushed.
She saw Meng Chao devouring the super gene medicine like a greedy monster.
Even though Lu Siya did not know what Hell's Blood was.
Based on the rising spirit energy and the strong fragrance, she could tell that it was a super gene medicine that contained the blood of countless Hell Beasts and was incredibly domineering.
Based on the formal cultivation education Lu Siya received from the academies, she knew that such a domineering thing could not be consumed in such a simple and crude manner during such a dangerous moment.
If he did that, not only would he not be able to strengthen his body, he would even enter spirit energy deviation and suffer a backlash from the super gene medicine.
"Stop! No, stop! Stop licking! You'll die!" Lu Siya screamed.
"I know, but I have no other choice. I can only take the risk!"
Meng Chao was in pain but also happy. The corners of his eyes, lips, fingers, and toes twitched.
A wave of information gathered into a storm in his mind. It was as if Battle God Lei Zonglie had personally used Divine Nine Dragon Seals to strike Meng Chao's brain so hard that his brain was about to fall out of his navel.
But no matter how much pain he felt, the speed at which Meng Chao consumed Hell's Blood did not slow down.
In the blink of an eye, he consumed one-third of the Hell's Blood.
"If I don't eat all of it, I'll just let that monster have it for free!"
Meng Chao grimaced. "Even if I go through spirit energy deviation and explode, I won't leave even a drop of the super gene medicine for the Vortex!
"Big Sis Ya … Forget it. A 'Ji, don't hold back. Hurry up and drink it with me. In any case, this is left behind by Saber Jin Wanhao. He's already dead, so it'd be a waste if I don't drink it!"
Meng Chao's speed of drinking was still too slow. It was not enough for him to absorb all the blue medicinal liquid in the three vials of Hell's Blood before the Vortex's wounds healed.
He originally wanted Lu Siya to come over and drink it with him.
But he was worried that the super gene medicine of unknown origins would be too violent and harm Lu Siya's body.
A 'Ji was also a monster-level fighter, and he had a close relationship with Saber Jin Wanhao, so he was the most suitable person to drink it with him.
"Screw your 'it'd be a waste if I don't drink it' line. It's all mine. Did I let you drink it?" A 'Ji wanted to cry.
He really wanted to pounce on Meng Chao and kick him away.
Unfortunately, the Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash had used up all his spirit energy. All the blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians in his right arm had been destroyed by the spirit energy magnetic field that had gone out of control.
Now, he had been accumulating power in his left arm for a total of three minutes, but he still did not have even one-tenth of the power of the second Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash.
The Vortex had already extinguished the golden flames, and its wounds were gradually recovering.
It also saw Meng Chao eating greedily and drinking one-third of the Hell's Blood.
Just like A 'Ji, the Vortex let out a shrill scream in great pain.
Before the two halves of its head were completely glued back together, it swung its claws and turned them into two whirlwinds before it pounced on Meng Chao.
This was the final moment.
Both sides used everything they had and used up all their spirit energy.
The one who drank all the Hell's Blood would be the final victor.
The spoils of war were their own lives and the lives of millions of humans and monsters.
Meng Chao was enveloped by the spirit energy storm and information wave. His limbs twitched, and he could not control himself.
Lu Siya had also used up all her spirit energy. She could not summon even a small stalagmite that was as thick as a finger.
She could only grit her teeth and pick up Bloody Soul, which Meng Chao had dropped on the ground. She spun it three times and slashed at the Vortex.
The core of Bloody Soul was the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow.
Lu Siya was the same as Meng Chao. She had been baptized by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami before.
Hence, she could resonate with Bloody Soul.
Unfortunately, this resonance only allowed her to cut Bloody Soul three inches into the Vortex's shoulder. It was stuck there, and she could not move another inch forward.
