Tie Ta sighed as he watched the blood slowly flow from his arm. "Changyang Shōten, do you see that? My blood isn't red at all."
"W- what's going on?" Jianchen murmured in shock. Tie Ta's blood was actually golden. That was just too strange.
"Jianchen, look! His blood is actually glowing!" Ming Dong exclaimed as he pointed at Tie Ta's arm. His eyes widened.
Jianchen immediately took a closer look with that. Sure enough, there was a faint layer of golden light radiating from Tie Ta's golden blood. However, the light was extremely faint. If it were not for the fact that they were in a dark place, they would not have noticed it at all.
With that, Jianchen became more and more surprised. Not only was Tie Ta's blood golden, but it also glowed with a golden light. He had never seen or heard of such an unbelievable sight before.
"Tie Ta, why is your blood like that?" Jianchen asked in shock.
"I- I don't know either." Tie Ta's face was filled with innocence. He was also very confused as to why his blood was golden.
"From what I know, only the blood of magical beasts has other colors. Human blood is all red without exception. Tie Ta's blood is actually golden. That's just unbelievable," Ming Dong exclaimed.
"Jianchen, look at how big I am and how dark my skin is. Do you think I'm not human at all, but a magical beast or some monster?" Tie Ta stared at Jianchen nervously. His face was filled with worry and fear. He was extremely afraid that he would end up like that.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Jianchen furrowed his brows tightly. What was happening to Tie Ta was just too strange.
After a moment of thought, Jianchen asked, "Tie Ta, have you eaten anything special in the past?"
After a moment of thought, Tie Ta shook his head. "No, I've only eaten normal things. It's either wild beast meat or academy food."
"Then have you eaten any strange fruits or plants?" Ming Dong asked.
"No, I've never eaten them before." Tie Ta shook his head firmly.
"Then when did you discover that your blood was golden? Did you feel any discomfort in your body or, uh, anything different from before?" Jianchen pressed on.
Tie Ta thought about it and said, "That day at Kargath Academy, I was accidentally injured by a very powerful magical beast when I went hunting alone. I started bleeding. Only then did I suddenly discover that my blood had become golden."
Jianchen muttered after a moment of thought, "That's strange. When we were attacked by the wolves at Kargath Academy, I clearly remember that your blood was still red. How did it suddenly become golden?" Jianchen furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He said, "Tie Ta, from the day I left Kargath Academy until you discovered that your blood was golden, did you feel any changes in your body?"
"No, it was very normal. It's just that after I condensed my Holy Weapon, I felt that my strength was growing every day. Even if I didn't cultivate, it would still grow. It doesn't seem like it will stop. Also, my body seems to be rapidly growing taller. Look, I've already grown this tall." Tie Ta seemed to have thought of something when he said that. He said in surprise, "Oh right, I remember that when I condensed my Holy Weapon, my body became extremely hot. Every part of my body was very hot, as if there was a ball of fire burning in my body. Could it be because of this?"
Jianchen fell silent. He could not help but recall the purple and azure specks of light that had appeared in his dantian when he condensed his Holy Weapon. Tie Ta's body also felt hot when he condensed his Holy Weapon. This was clearly unusual because when ordinary people condensed their Holy Weapon, they would not feel any other symptoms apart from an increase in strength.
"It looks like that's probably where the problem lies," Jian Chen murmured to himself.
"What's the problem?" Tie Ta's eyes lit up. He stared at Jianchen closely. He desperately wanted to know the answer.
After a moment of hesitation, Jianchen said, "It's probably because your body suddenly changed when you became a Saint. However, that's only my guess because I don't know what caused your blood to change from red to gold."
Tie Ta scratched his head in frustration when he still failed to find an answer. He said resentfully, "What's going on? If my body continues to grow like this, will I become a monster in the future?"
"Tie Ta, there's no need to worry. Your blood really is very special. From what I know, even if the blood of some magical beasts is very special, they definitely won't have golden blood. Perhaps it's a blessing for you, not a curse," Ming Dong comforted him.
"But, but …" Tie Ta clearly still could not accept this reality.
"There's no buts. Ming Dong is right. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, you can't avoid it. Tie Ta, there's no need to worry because this won't solve the problem. Why don't you accept it and stop wasting time on this matter?" Jianchen said sternly. As he said that, he could not help but think about what had happened to him in the past. Back then, he still did not know about the secret of the sword spirits. The sword spirits had remained in his dantian for a long time, which had troubled him for quite a while. However, in the end, it was not a curse at all. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise, allowing him to benefit greatly.
"Alright, I won't think about it anymore. Who cares if I become a human or a monster in the future? If I really do become a monster, I'll just find a place where there's no one else and live by myself," Tie Ta finally accepted the matter after being comforted by Jianchen and Ming Dong.
"That's more like it. Just accept it. Your golden blood might be a symbol of your innate extraordinariness. Don't forget, you were born with great strength." Jianchen chuckled. He took out a piece of cloth from his Space Ring and wiped away the golden blood on Tie Ta's arm. As the blood was removed, Tie Ta's thick and dark arm was revealed. However, the wound that Jianchen had left on his arm had already vanished.
"Hmm? Your wound has actually healed. What powerful regeneration!" Jianchen said in surprise.
Tie Ta chuckled, "Whenever I'm injured, my body will heal in a very short amount of time."
"Is that why the golden blood is so wondrous?" Ming Dong was surprised.
Jianchen waved his hand and said, "Whatever, let's not talk about this anymore. We won't be able to come to a conclusion no matter how much we talk about it. It's just a wild guess. Tie Ta, it's been a few years since we last met. Let me see just what level your strength has reached."
Tie Ta gritted his teeth when he heard that, "I haven't slacked off in the past few years. I've been cultivating diligently every day. I'm already an Intermediate Great Saint Master now. Changyang Shōten, what's your strength like? You defeated me when we first joined the academy. I wonder if you can still defeat me like before."
Ming Dong had no idea how to react as he looked at Tie Ta, "Tie Ta, aren't you looking down on Jian Chen too much? He's even killed quite a few Heaven Saint Masters. He can defeat a Great Saint Master with just a flick of his finger."
Tie Ta paled in fright when he heard that. "What? He's even killed a few Heaven Saint Masters? That can't be true, right? Whatever, I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to fight with you anymore. "Tie Ta waved his hands in a hurry. He looked at Jianchen like he was looking at a monster.
Jianchen chuckled. Just when he was about to say something, Jianchen beat him to it, "Tie Ta, I've heard from Jianchen that you're born with great strength. Why don't you let me see it?"
The honest Tie Ta was not modest at all. He said in a rather conceited manner, "Yep, I really am very strong. Can you handle it? What if I injure you? "
Ming Dong had no idea how to react, "If you injure me, I'll just smash my head against a tree and die!"
"No, no, that won't do. You're Changyang Shōten's brother, so you're my brother as well. How can I let you smash your head against a tree? Let's not fight. We'll find another opportunity to fight in the future." Tie Ta did not catch the hidden meaning in Ming Dong's words at all. He was quite frightened by what Ming Dong had said.
Ming Dong stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He bitterly smiled at Jianchen and said, "Jianchen, your brother is just too T- too honest!"
Jianchen could not help but smile. Tie Ta was indeed rather simple-minded. He did not know how to think deeply about a problem.
"Tie Ta, don't underestimate Ming Dong. He's already at the peak of Earth Saint Master. He's only a hair's breadth away from Heaven Saint Master. Even Heaven Saint Masters will struggle to injure him, so feel free to attack him," Jianchen said to Tie Ta.
"Ah, no way. Ming Dong is also so powerful. Why are all of you so powerful? I thought I was already powerful enough, but I never thought you'd be even more powerful than me." Tie Ta's confidence suffered a great setback.
Ming Dong rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "Tie Ta, you can stop worrying now. Come, feel free to attack me. Don't worry, if I'm injured by a Great Saint Master with my strength as a Sixth Cycle Earth Saint Master, I won't be able to continue living on the Tian Yuan Continent."
"Alright. You're already an Earth Saint Master, so I shouldn't be able to injure you. Prepare yourself, I'm going to fight." Tie Ta became serious. He clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds. Then, he threw a punch at Ming Dong's chest. There was actually a faint sound of thunder.
Ming Dong stood there very casually as a faint layer of wind elemental energy revolved around his hand. It then turned into a blur and instantly blocked his chest, perfectly blocking Tie Ta's punch.
Bang! A heavy sound rang out when the fist and palm collided. It was like a thunderclap in the sky, causing everyone's hearts to jump involuntarily.
Jianchen's expression changed slightly. He stared at Tie Ta in surprise and doubt. He could feel that Tie Ta's punch was very different from the punch of an ordinary person. When Tie Ta's fist collided with Ming Dong's hand, the heavy sound seemed to be able to pierce the heart and shatter it.
A powerful force came from the point of contact, causing Tie Ta to stagger back a few steps. Ming Dong's body shook violently as well. Although he did not retreat, he had sunk deep into the ground.
Ming Dong immediately became slightly surprised. He sighed, "What great strength! You really are born with great strength!"
