Shi Yan woke up suddenly with a splitting headache. His head felt heavy as if it were filled with lead.
He was in a dark cave the size of a basketball court. There were piles of bones on the stone floor. A dozen new corpses in strange clothes were scattered around him. The clothes on the corpses were still bright. It seemed that they had not been dead for too long.
Where was this? Was this still the Bahamas in the Caribbean Sea?

Shi Yan was a fanatical extreme sports enthusiast. At the age of 27, his mother died young. His father, who had accumulated a lifetime of wealth, died of cancer in the prime of his life. Shi Yan inherited a wealth that he could not squander for the rest of his life.
What others had been chasing for their whole lives was within his reach. He had it from the very beginning.
His youth was right there in front of him, but he couldn't find a goal. This feeling of being rich but not having a direction had always made him depressed.
It was not until he was 17 years old that he came into contact with extreme sports. He felt that life suddenly became interesting. Because of the huge wealth in his hands, he could do whatever he wanted in this sport that ordinary people could not participate in.
Free-handed rock climbing, crocodile bungee jumping, low-altitude parachuting, volcano skateboarding, cliff diving, ice-skating, and other crazy extreme sports became his greatest pleasure.
He enjoyed the thrill of being on the verge of death, which made his blood boil and suffocate!
In the past ten years, he tried all the craziest and most dangerous extreme sports. He ran to the most dangerous and dangerous places.
Ten years of extreme sports had made ShiYan's body extremely strong. Hundreds of times of near-death experience had made his mental toughness extremely abnormal. He mocked himself that he was the closest person to the God of Death.
The blue hole exploration in the Bahamas in the Caribbean Sea was his last extreme challenge. Some of these blue holes could be hundreds of meters deep, and some were as complicated as a maze. If you moved a little too much, the mud at the bottom of the hole would rise. No matter how bright the light was, you could not see the direction at all.
Therefore, no matter how good a diver was, he must tie a steel wire before jumping into a blue hole. This was the lifeline of a blue hole explorer. When the wire was pulled to the end, it meant the end of diving. If you continued to swim forward, it meant suicide, because no one could not swim out of the "maze" with the help of the wire. According to the statistics of the Bahamas Maritime Department, an average of 20 extreme divers lost their lives in the Blue Hole every year. Most of them died because they got lost.
In the world's most dangerous extreme adventure, Shi Yan voluntarily threw away the steel wire that was his lifeline and carried out a crazy adventure that was equivalent to suicide. In the end, he was lost in the mysterious blue hole.
In the blue hole, being lost meant death …

Shi Yan slumped on the cold rock floor, looking around with the help of the strange glimmer on the rock wall. He felt as if there were suddenly some fragmented memories that did not belong to him in his mind.
That was the memory of the other Shi Yan …
That guy's name was the same as his. He was only seventeen years old, and he was a fanatical archaeologist. He was obsessed with the investigation of all kinds of ancient ruins. Because of a tattered ancient map, he brought some guards from his family and went through half a year of hardship to get here.
Shi Yan frowned and slowly stood up. He felt weak and feeble all over.
The next moment, Shi Yan realized that this body was not his. It was the other Shi Yan, the seventeen-year-old Shi Yan.
His face suddenly changed, and he was stunned.
I really died in the blue hole. No, I'm still alive, and I'm alive in an unimaginable way!
…
Through the fragmented memories of the other Shi Yan, he knew that this place was called Grace Mainland. There was no technological civilization here, and there were constant wars and warriors everywhere!
In this place, many people were gifted. Not long after they were born, they displayed mysterious talents. Some people were born with the power of thunder and lightning, some could control plants, some could travel through the earth at will, some were born with magical senses, able to communicate with demon beasts, and some had the power of ice in their bodies …
There were all kinds of strange and mysterious talents. Almost all of these people with special talents would become warriors, and their talents were called "Martial Souls".
"Martial Souls" were almost all inborn, and only a few people could obtain it through some kind of adventure. The probability was so small that it was almost negligible. That was why this land was called Grace Mainland, because warriors believed that "Martial Souls" were bestowed to them by the gods.
Not all martial artists could possess a "Martial Soul". On the contrary, the vast majority of martial artists did not possess a "Martial Soul". An ordinary person could become a martial artist through cultivation, but they could not possess a "Martial Soul" through cultivation. However, a special "Martial Soul" could speed up a martial artist's cultivation, greatly increase a martial artist's combat strength, and allow a martial artist to possess special abilities …
Therefore, among warriors of the same realm, those with a "Martial Spirit" were often much more powerful. Their future achievements would also be much higher than those without a "Martial Spirit". These people with a "Martial Spirit" were blessed by the heavens on the road of cultivation and had all the advantages.
"Martial Souls" could be inherited through blood, and the probability was very high.
Generally speaking, if one of the parents had a "Martial Soul", then there was a high chance that the child would also have the same "Martial Soul". If both parents had a "Martial Soul", then the child would have a higher chance of inheriting a "Martial Soul". It would either be the father's or the mother's, but almost all of them could only inherit one "Martial Soul".
Under such circumstances, there was also an extremely small probability of happening. One was that the child would not be able to inherit even one of their parents' "Martial Souls" and would become an ordinary person. The probability of this happening was very small. It would only happen once in a hundred couples like this.
There was another situation that was a hundred times less likely — the child would be able to inherit both parents' "Martial Spirits" in its entirety! This kind of Martial Soul was called "Twin Martial Souls", and such a person was also called "God's Favorite"!
This kind of probability was even smaller. Only one out of ten thousand couples with different "Martial Souls" could have such a special case.

Shi Yan stood there in a daze, and continued to organize the fragmented memories in his mind …
The original owner of this body came from the Shi Family of the Merchant Union. The Shi Family had the "Petrification" Martial Soul, which could turn the body into stone during a battle, making the body as hard as a rock, and could resist part of the invasion of Profound Qi. As the level increased, the "Petrification" Martial Soul would become even more powerful, and could almost be invulnerable.
Unfortunately, this guy did not inherit the "Petrification" Martial Soul, and was considered by the Shi Family as not a material for practicing martial arts. This guy had no interest in martial arts at all, and had never studied martial arts since he was a child. He only used his energy to explore the ruins.
It was because of a tattered ancient map that he was able to come here after so many dangers. If not for the map in this guy's hand, he wouldn't have been able to find this ancient cave that was tightly covered by the layers of shrubs and leaves.
"Wu wu wu … Hu hu hu …"
The sound of evil ghosts crying suddenly came from inside the cave. Shi Yan was shocked, and suddenly looked at the blood pool where the sound came from.
The blood pool was in the middle of the cave, and it was only ten square meters in size. The pool was full of scarlet liquid, which was as scary as blood. The blood pool was bubbling, and when the bubbles burst, it made a horrible howling sound, which was extremely strange.
He knew that the guards who had died not long ago had suddenly become crazy because of the roaring sound in the blood pond. They had then killed each other and died in the cave. ShiYan had also been affected by the terrible roaring sound, which was why he had suddenly fainted and couldn't get up.
It was all because of the blood pool!
ShiYan stared at the blood pond with a heavy face. The whistling sounds stimulated his nerves, stirring up a murderous desire from the bottom of his heart, giving him an impulse to kill all the people around him.
Shi Yan still had a splitting headache, and the howling sound from the blood pool was torturing him, making it difficult for him to concentrate and think.
There was definitely something strange about the blood pool!
Shi Yan's face was calm, and he held his mind. The tenacious nerves that he had cultivated in life and death for many years played a role. Although he still had a terrible headache, he could still be considered calm, and he walked step by step towards the blood pool.
"Kacha! Kacha! "
Pieces of white bones were broken under his feet. ShiYan's face was solemn. From the white bones in the cave, many people had died before they had entered the cave. The blood pond was the source of all evil. If he wanted to explore the mysteries of the blood pond, wasn't it the same as seeking his own death?
The closer he got to the blood pool, the heavier the howling sound became, like a sharp knife fiercely stabbing into his mind. The howling sound contained a crazy murderous aura, and it almost destroyed his reason and calmness. If he hadn't challenged his limits for many years, and his nerves were incomparably tenacious, he probably wouldn't have been able to bear it.
Next to the blood pool, there were bones on the ground, and in the middle of the blood pool, there were also milky white bones faintly visible. The small blood pool was like the Asura Blood Sea, and no one knew how many creatures it had devoured.
Shi Yan faintly felt that the reason why his soul came here was closely related to this extremely strange blood pool. He felt that he might be able to go back through the blood pool, back to the familiar world, back to the blue hole in the Bahamas.
As he got closer and closer to the blood pool, suddenly, Shi Yan found a strange phenomenon. The blood in the blood pool was scarlet and thick, but he didn't smell any blood.
On the contrary, the air here was very fresh, and there was even a faint unusual fragrance. After carefully sensing it, he found that the strange fragrance actually came from the blood pool!
Shi Yan was full of curiosity, and he was even more convinced that there must be something strange in the blood pool.
After a few more steps, suddenly, an illusion of the boundless blood sea appeared in his mind. In the blood sea, there were endless piles of bones, forming an island. Some of the bones were well-preserved, like the remains of the Cretaceous dinosaurs, and they were as big as a small mountain. In the blood sea, there seemed to be a voice that kept repeating, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! "
Shi Yan held fast to his heart, but his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and the terrifying suffocating pressure hit him in the face. He felt the familiar smell of death, and he felt that he had never been so close to death before.
He knew that the next step might be death!
However, after so many years of exploring death, not only did it not make him afraid, it made him enjoy this moment very much! Facing death, seeking survival in the face of death, was the true meaning of extreme sports!
One step, another step, and another step!
Under the overwhelming pressure of the blood pool, Shi Yan finally walked to the edge of the blood pool. Looking at the small blood pool, the crazy side of Shi Yan's character was stimulated, and he roared, "I want to see what kind of strange thing this small blood pool of yours has!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yan sneered and jumped into the blood pool.
