The heat came too suddenly. It was as if it had always been hidden within Su Ming's body and was activated due to the Scattering Dust. Su Ming's body trembled. At that moment, he felt as if his entire body was about to burn. It even reminded him of the man from Black Mountain Tribe who died because of Scattering Blood.
Su Ming did not panic. Instead, he remained calm. He might have felt as if he was burning, but his calmness allowed him to slowly discover what was different. This burning sensation did not come from his blood boiling. Instead, at that moment, the speed at which his blood was circulating had reached a terrifying degree.
It was because his blood was circulating too quickly that he felt as if he was burning. He could even hear his heart racing as if it was about to explode.
'What a powerful effect!' Su Ming's face was flushed red, but the calmness in his eyes did not diminish. As he mumbled to himself, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the circulation of his Qi.
Large amounts of sweat seeped out of his body, and 11 blood veins appeared on his body at the same time. They gave off a piercing red light that illuminated the entire karst cave, making it seem as if it had turned into a blood-colored Yellow Springs.
As the Qi in his body circulated, the red light on his body became stronger. Veins could even be seen popping up on Su Ming's body. They looked as if they were wriggling, making Su Ming look even more ferocious.
Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye. During those two hours, Su Ming's beast skin shirt looked as if it was soaked in water. A large amount of sweat dripped down his body. Su Ming's body was also burning red. The 11 blood veins glowed as if they were 11 wounds on his body.
At that moment, Su Ming opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were bloodshot and he let out a roar. As he roared, a rumbling sound came from his body. The 12th blood vein appeared!
The speed at which it appeared was almost instantaneous. It turned from an indistinct form to a solid form, causing the power of Su Ming's Qi to increase once again.
However, it was not over yet. Once the 12th blood vein appeared, the red glow on Su Ming's body became less intense. But as he roared once again, the 13th blood vein appeared!
The moment the 13th blood vein appeared, Su Ming's hair moved even though there was no wind. A powerful presence exploded forth from his frail body.
The blood in his body flowed rapidly. At this moment, he no longer felt like he had insufficient blood. Instead, he felt like he had too much blood. If he didn't condense more blood veins, his flesh and blood would collapse. Two blood veins appeared consecutively, but there was still some heat in his body.
Su Ming's face contorted. The heat in his body was so intense that it was almost unbearable. He lifted his right hand and tore off his beast skin shirt instinctively. His upper body was bare, revealing the 13 blood veins clearly. They were not in a regular pattern. They were scattered across Su Ming's chest, back, and arms.
The blood veins were crimson red, as if blood could drip out of them. There was also a large amount of sweat that flowed down Su Ming's body. When they were illuminated by the red light, they looked strangely beautiful.
Su Ming's eyes became even redder, but there was no madness within them. He was still calm. All of this was still within his control. He could feel the Qi in his body. Without any hesitation, Su Ming circulated his blood again and again according to the inheritance of the Way of the Berserker. As he refined his blood, his blood became thicker!
After another hour, Su Ming let out a low roar towards the sky. The 14th blood vein appeared faintly on his body!
His roar reverberated throughout the cave, creating countless echoes. It sounded as if there were countless people roaring at the same time.
"14th blood vein, come out!" Su Ming's body trembled. The powerful feeling within his body became stronger. The 14th blood vein was quickly solidifying. By the looks of it, it would be completely manifested before long.
However, after a quarter of an hour, the fourteenth blood line was still struggling, as if it lacked the power to completely condense it.
Su Ming could already feel the Qi in his body slowing down. The heat in his body was almost completely gone. If this ended and the 14th blood vein had not manifested, he would have to wait for the next time.
Su Ming's eyes flashed. Without any hesitation, he lifted his right hand and grabbed towards his side. There was a Mountain Spirit there!
Su Ming grabbed the pill and immediately placed it in his mouth. He bit down on the pill and swallowed it. He then brought out a Scattering Dust and swallowed it. His body trembled furiously, and the fiery red color that had disappeared from his skin rose once again. In the span of a breath, it reached a shocking degree.
The heat in his body became even crazier. The intensity of the heat was even greater than before. It reached a level that Su Ming could not bear with.
"14th blood vein, come out!" There was a ruthlessness in Su Ming's bones. This was something that even he did not notice, but it had been contained in every single detail of his life for a long, long time.
As he growled, his body roared once again. The 14th blood vein instantly solidified and let out a strange red glow. When the 14th blood vein appeared, Su Ming did not choose to stop. He swallowed two Mountain Spirits in a row so that his power could increase in one go.
During the seven days he was quenching, he often thought about the appearance of the Wings of the Moon and the hidden anxiety under the elder's smile. Su Ming saw it all. Even if he did not say it out loud, he understood that there was a dark cloud above the tribe.
He remembered the breakthrough of the Elder of Black Mountain Tribe. He remembered the elder saying that there was a traitor in the tribe and that it was not safe. Su Ming was worried. He wanted to help the elder and the tribe. But with his current power, it was obvious that it was not enough.
He wanted to become stronger. He wanted to become a powerful Berserker!
When the 14th blood vein appeared, Su Ming circulated the Qi in his body once again. As his blood circulated madly, the 15th blood vein seemed as if it was about to be forced out.
After a long while, Su Ming's body trembled in pain. Yet he did not hesitate. As his blood flowed through his body, he roared and the 15th blood vein appeared!
The 15 blood veins were like 15 scars on his bare upper body. As they shone with a red light, they made Su Ming look even more powerful.
Yet Su Ming was not satisfied with just 15 blood veins. He continued circulating his Qi and time passed by.
The 16th blood vein manifested abruptly!
At that moment, the heat on his body dissipated. It was as if everything was about to end. Yet Su Ming's eyes flashed. As a cold glint appeared in his eyes, he lifted his right hand without a word and slammed it against his chest. With that one strike, a huge force surged into his body and stimulated his rapidly beating heart.
"17th blood vein, appear!"
Under the stimulation of the force, his heart erupted with even more blood. The blood flowed through his entire body and once again, the 17th blood vein appeared on his chest!
When the 17th blood vein appeared, Su Ming's body was like a flame that had been extinguished. There was no longer any heat. It was the same for his body. The strong feeling disappeared in an instant. His body felt empty. He knew that this was the result of the effects of the medicine fading away.
At the same time, faint stabs of pain appeared in his body. This meant that his body had been injured due to his forceful training.
"Pain and injuries are nothing to a Berserker," Su Ming mumbled. He could feel that the power in his body had increased by more than half. A hint of determination appeared in his eyes.
He did not get up. Instead, he took out an herb from the torn beast skin robe beside him. That herb was Sky Stone!
This item was the strongest medicinal herb he had obtained apart from the medicinal pill! Besides the portion he gave to Lei Chen, he did not use it easily. Yet at that moment, he took it out without hesitation. He wanted to increase his power as much as possible in one go.
Su Ming took the herb and kept one leaf for future use. He swallowed the rest and also used the Scattering Dust to increase the effects of the herb.
A cool feeling exploded within his body and fused with the remaining heat in his body. Cold air also appeared on Su Ming's body, making the 17 blood veins look even more distinct.
Su Ming's body turned slightly green under the freezing air, but the blood in his body flowed even faster. Two hours … four hours passed. When the sky outside turned white and Xiao Hong came back from playing, Su Ming was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, unmoving.
Xiao Hong knew that Su Ming was training. It would lie by his side and occasionally look at him before yawning and falling asleep.
The sky gradually turned from morning to noon, then from noon to dusk. Very soon, it was pitch black again. Only the moonlight shone brightly on the ground amidst the falling snow.
There were no longer 17 blood veins on Su Ming's body. There were 19 blood veins!
The two extra blood veins on his arms shone with a red glow …
Late at night, Su Ming's entire body glowed with a red glow that surrounded the entire cave. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a shaky breath. There was a threatening glint in his eyes. When he saw Xiao Hong snoring softly and occasionally scratching its fur while sleeping, a smile appeared on his face.
He averted his gaze from Xiao Hong and instinctively lifted his head to look at the few small holes on the wall. From his position, he could see the sky and the moon outside through the holes. Su Ming slowly closed his eyes and prepared to circulate the Qi in his body to soothe the pain caused by his training.
Yet the moment he closed his eyes, Su Ming suddenly opened them once again. He had a vague feeling that the moon he saw through the small holes just now was a little different.
Now that he looked at it again, his eyes gradually widened!
There was a hint of red on the moon in the sky …
