Chapter 8: First Bloodshed
Chapter 8: First Bloodshed
Yu Chen struggled to pull his hand out of Na'er's arms, crossed his hands and flexed his wrists a few times, a look of relief on his face. Suddenly, Yu Chen smelled a faint milky scent. Looking at Na'er's adorable sleeping face, Yu Chen reached out his sinful finger and poked her face.
"Hehe, so soft." Feeling the softness on his fingertips, Yu Chen smiled.
"What the hell?! What am I thinking?!"
Shaking his head, Yu Chen stopped thinking about it and carefully walked out of the bedroom without disturbing the sleeping Na'er. He went to the basement of the house, found an open space, and recalled what the teacher had taught in class today. He decided to try meditation.
Sit cross-legged and calm your mind. Meditation begins with quietude; feel yourself and feel nature. This is the first step.
For initial meditation, this step is sufficient. First, sense your martial spirit and soul power, maintaining a close connection between your mind and them. Only after completing this step can you proceed to true meditation.
In the depths of his being, Yu Chen became aware of the connection between his cheat ability and this world.
His own cheat ability was also related to the master of the old plane. When the consciousness of this plane was completely occupied, He gave everything and placed all his hopes on Yu Chen, determined to make the thief pay the price.
Yu Chen suddenly understood, vaguely sensing tiny entities in the air silently flowing into his body and merging into his still very weak soul power. This fusion was slow and not numerous.
But he could feel his soul power gradually increasing during this fusion. Even if it was just a tiny, steady increase, it was very stable and continuous.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Chen naturally woke up from his meditative state, feeling refreshed all over. Was this the feeling of cultivating soul power? Not bad.
Yu Chen sensed that his soul power had increased slightly, but not much, and he was still far from reaching level six.
He needed power. He was very happy during the short time he spent with Na'er today. If he had only been lusting after Na'er's body before, he now had another reason. And to get what he wanted, he needed power.
He's speeding up now. At this point in time, ordinary cheating won't be enough to fight against the Three Cuts. He needs to use more cheats, and keep using them, to have the capital to fight against the Three Cuts' millennium plan. Therefore, Yu Chen is going to give himself another small cheat.
Yu Chen slowly closed his eyes, preparing to test his ability—the Path to Godhood.
He emptied his mind, diminishing his humanity and indulging his wild, bloodthirsty dragon-like spirit. Suddenly, he seemed to have an epiphany. He opened his eyes, and his golden pupils emitted an even more dazzling light. The empty basement gradually echoed with a deep, powerful heartbeat.
"The Bloodlust has been unleashed!" Yu Chen felt that although his soul power had not changed, his aura had reached around level eight.
"Did he forcibly raise his strength to level 8 with a single Blood Explosion? A single Blood Explosion increases his soul power by 3 levels. What about the third and fourth Blood Explosions? Will he then be fighting a Title Douluo while a Soul Saint is fighting a God?"
Feeling his increased strength, Yu Chen couldn't help but drift into daydreams.
Just as Yu Chen was still feeling the power brought by the burst of blood, he suddenly felt a wave of fatigue.
His consciousness returned to his body. He didn't know when he had exited the "blood rage" state, and he felt extremely weak. He was also extremely hungry, and there was an urge to destroy everything in his mind.
"Although it is the complete version of the Path to Godhood, there are still risks involved in wielding such power without the 'Heart of the Dragon'."
Yu Chen suppressed the negative emotions in his mind and forced himself to go to the place where food was stored at home.
After a while... all the food stored in the house was gone, and Yu Chen was silently cleaning up the mess on the floor.
"It seems that 'Bloodlust' requires a lot of physical energy. With two gluttons in the house, I wonder if they will eat the family out of house and home."
"Huh, this is... a familiar scent? No, it's also so unfamiliar. What is it? I can't remember..."
Just as Yu Chen was bleeding profusely, Na'er in the other bedroom also woke up from her dream. She rubbed her eyes to clear the blur, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She glanced at Yu Chen with a mixture of confusion and longing, muttering to herself.
Sensing the aura emanating from Yu Chen's sudden burst of blood, Na'er seemed to recall some vague fragments of memory, which quickly vanished.
However, Na'er still couldn't understand why she felt so familiar and close to Yu Chen's aura.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Yu Chen went to Hongshan Academy alone to receive his academic education.
As promised, Lang Yue took Na'er to the city hall to inquire about her identity.
Of course, Yu Chen already knew the result: he couldn't find any information about Na'er.
However, this also raises a question: what will become of Na'er?
Should they be sent to an orphanage, or adopted?
Going to an orphanage was ruled out first. Although Tang Wulin's family was quite willing to adopt her, Na'er was unwilling to leave Yu Chen.
Yu Chen really wanted to adopt Na'er, but as a child himself, he couldn't keep Na'er. Fortunately, there was always a way out.
With Na'er's strong desire and Yu Chen paying some Federal Currency, Na'er was able to move into Yu Chen's house smoothly.
"Haha, Na'er, from now on we're family!"
After completing all the formalities, Yu Chen felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and said happily.
"Thank you, boss."
"It's alright, you're so adorable, how could I bear to let you suffer in an orphanage?!"
Looking at Na'er's adorable smiling face, Yu Chen couldn't help but reach out and gently rub it, then said in a cheerful tone.
Now, Na'er is no longer the unapproachable person she was when they first met. Under Yu Chen's tutelage, she has become exceptionally lively, active, and energetic.
He kept calling her "boss," and his soft, sweet voice made Yu Chen feel a little elated.
Na'er felt the same way. Seeing Yu Chen by her side, she inexplicably felt that her family was with her, and felt warm and at ease, without feeling lonely at all.
Therefore, when Yu Chen reached out and touched her face, she did not resist at all, but obediently cooperated with Yu Chen's actions.
Now that it's confirmed that Na'er will be moving in, Yu Chen naturally needs to make some adjustments to the facilities in the house.
Although both of them were only six years old, there was a difference between boys and girls, and Yu Chen couldn't shamelessly keep sleeping with Na'er.
Therefore, he also planned to convert his parents' original room into his own room, leave his own room to Na'er, and buy a batch of new furniture and clothes for Na'er.
Although Na'er would sneak into Yu Chen's room every night.
Of course, all of this is a story for later. Before that, the two of them went to the dining table and enjoyed the exquisite lunch they had bought.
