I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 36: Blood Control (Part 2)

Zhang Chen slumped to the ground, golden light swirling in his eyes as he looked directly at the neighboring house. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, the fox spirit and the poor scholar next door aren't home. If the fox spirit saw this, it would only cause more trouble."

Zhang Chen's eyes turned to the other roe deer, the one still alive. It was filled with terror, having been frightened by Zhang Chen's methods, and it charged around the courtyard, its eyes filled with fear.

Zhang Chen didn't continue to devour the blood of the other roe deer. Now that his symptoms had eased, he didn't want to waste this high-quality food. He planned to give this roe deer to his younger sister and mother, so he wanted to keep it. Besides, he knew that he had overcome his greatest crisis, and if he wanted to devour blood, he could always hunt in the mountains later.

"It's just that the changes in my body haven't stopped," Zhang Chen muttered, feeling the boiling heat within him, a worried look appearing in his eyes. "What exactly is happening to my body? I don't know if these changes are good or bad."

Just as Zhang Chen was worried, his heart suddenly leaped, and the grain-sized crystal core trembled slightly. It actually flowed with the blood from Zhang Chen's entire body. Then, Zhang Chen's vision blurred, and the Golden Finger interface popped up:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Tier 2): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Absorption (0/10000)】

【Points: 4650】

Zhang Chen was very familiar with the Golden Finger interface in front of him, but the next moment, the Golden Finger interface twisted, and all the text exploded into a screen full of snowflakes. Then, countless snowflakes converged, forming new text:

【Detected interference from an unknown force, skill mutation occurred: Blood Absorption -\u003e Blood Control】

The next moment, the Golden Finger interface in front of Zhang Chen refreshed:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Tier 2): Light of the True God (0/5000)】

【Skill 2 (Unranked): Dragon Qi (0/2000)】

【Skill 3 (Unranked): Blood Control (0/100000)】

【Points: 4650】

"What the hell??? One hundred thousand points!!!" Zhang Chen looked at the number behind the Blood Control skill, forgetting to study the effects of the Blood Control skill, and exclaimed in shock.

He thought he was dizzy and seeing things, so he quickly rubbed his eyes, then widened them and stared intently at the points after the third skill: "One hundred thousand points!!! Are you kidding me! How far would I have to upgrade the other skills!"

"What potential does this Blood Control skill have that it dares to ask for one hundred thousand points just to be ranked?" Zhang Chen couldn't believe his eyes.

Then, Zhang Chen sensed the third skill and muttered, "I want to see what's so mysterious about this skill that it dares to ask for one hundred thousand points to upgrade."

Zhang Chen sensed the third skill, and countless pieces of information flooded into his mind. The next moment, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and he gasped, "Hiss~"

"I can control all the blood in my body!" Zhang Chen looked at the third skill, feeling the information it conveyed, and immediately felt that this skill was incredibly powerful, not just ordinary powerful.

The next moment, Zhang Chen stretched out his palm, and countless blood vessels seeped out from his skin, gathering at his fingertips into a blood clot the size of a glass ball.

Then, with a thought from Zhang Chen, the blood re-entered his skin and flowed back.

Zhang Chen took out a piece of wood and slashed at his palm. A wound appeared, but no blood flowed out.

"This skill is amazing. In the future, I can stop the flow of blood to feign death, and even if someone pierces my internal organs, as long as the blood doesn't flow out, can I maintain a state of immortality?"

"Even if my heart is pierced, with the Blood Absorption technique, as long as there is blood, I should be able to survive, right?" Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with shock.

It already has such abilities even unranked. What wonders will it have once it is ranked?

Zhang Chen could say that, despite this skill not being ranked, it was even more precious than a ranked skill! It's not a loss to spend one hundred thousand points to upgrade it!

"Incredible!" Zhang Chen sighed inwardly.

With a thought, countless blood vessels and the flow of blood within his body were reflected in his mind. He knew the flow of his blood and every blood vessel as clearly as looking at the palm of his hand.

With a thought, the blood stopped flowing, and his heart stopped beating, as if he were a dead man.

With another thought, the blood flow in some of his limbs stopped, while the blood in other parts flowed as usual.

"As long as my head isn't chopped off and doesn't suffer fatal damage, and if I have the opportunity to master supernatural powers, I can probably survive even if my heart is pierced. Of course, if my heart is dug out, that's another matter!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, marveling at the heaven-defying nature of the supernatural power.

"Only one-tenth of my blood is normal. No wonder I feel dizzy and weak." Zhang Chen sensed the flow of blood in his body and made a judgment about his condition. However, he had no idea where the rest of the blood had gone or why it had suddenly disappeared.

"So hot! This transformation hasn't ended yet. The most important thing for me now is to rest well, and then eat more meat to replenish the missing blood in my body." Zhang Chen stopped experimenting with the skill, having a temporary understanding of his situation. At this time, a wave of drowsiness came over him, an extremely abnormal drowsiness that he couldn't resist, like the drowsiness after catching a cold, only a thousand times stronger, making him want to fall asleep immediately.

Zhang Chen ignored the roe deer on the ground and stood up, walking weakly into the house and lying directly on the bed. He felt his brain heavy and seemed to want to fall asleep immediately. Just as countless thoughts were flooding into Zhang Chen's mind, Wang Wu led a thin man in green robes in from outside the door.

"Doctor Song, come and take a look! This child accidentally ate wild fruits in the mountains. Is there still hope?" Wang Wu led Doctor Song into the house, his voice full of anxiety.

Walking into the house and seeing Zhang Chen lying on the bed with his eyes open, still breathing, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the person was alive, that was good.

Doctor Song walked forward, examined Zhang Chen's eyes, listened to his heartbeat, and then reached out to take Zhang Chen's pulse, listening carefully for a long time before putting down Zhang Chen's wrist. Then, he took out silver needles from his bag and pricked Zhang Chen's ten fingers.

Zhang Chen didn't resist. He wasn't sure about his current situation, so it was good to have Doctor Song take a look. Wang Wu, on the other hand, was full of nervousness, watching Doctor Song's movements, not daring to breathe loudly, his eyes full of worry. He treated Zhang Chen like his own son, and seeing Zhang Chen poisoned by food, he was also distressed.

Doctor Song inserted the silver needle into Zhang Chen's thumb, but no blood flowed out. Then, he continued to prick the remaining ten fingers with gold needles. Seeing that Zhang Chen's ten fingers were not bleeding, his eyes were filled with seriousness. Then, he tore open Zhang Chen's clothes and started rolling up his sleeve from his arm, rolling it all the way to his fingers, and finally squeezed out a drop of bright red blood.

Looking at the bright red blood, Doctor Song breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. He cleared his throat and said, "It's okay! This kid is fine. The poison from the fruit has dissipated."

"That's great!" Wang Wu's face immediately lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but clap his hands, wishing he could jump up and celebrate.

"It's just…" Doctor Song suddenly paused, his voice changing, drawing out his tone, "The blood in this kid's body is less than one-tenth of that of a normal person. He is extremely anemic and needs to eat more meat and supplements to replenish his blood."

Speaking of this, Doctor Song's voice was full of amazement, "Listening to this kid's pulse, because of the lack of blood, his heartbeat and breath are extremely faint. Pricking ten fingers without seeing blood shows that he is extremely anemic. Logically speaking, even those swordsmen who constantly lick blood from their blades should have died long ago if they lost so much blood! Moreover, this kid has no knife wounds on his body. How could he have lost so much blood?"

Doctor Song's voice was full of disbelief. According to common sense, a person's life would be in danger if they lost half of their blood, and they would die if they were not treated in time. Moreover, Zhang Chen's body currently had less than one-tenth of its blood.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Chen couldn't help but look surprised when he heard Doctor Song's words. This Doctor Song had some skill, actually knowing that he had lost blood, and that it was less than one-tenth. He didn't know how he figured it out.
