I can push my cultivation progress to the end

“He will show his face?”

Upon hearing this, the heavy stone weighing on Li Hai's heart was instantly lifted.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately grinned, “That would be great!”

Wonderful, wonderful indeed!

Li Hai calculated in his mind.

When dawn arrives, as soon as Guo Huaijin's grandson gets close, he will immediately level up on the spot and kidnap the other party as a hostage.

Since this old thing is so concerned about that little beast, he will inevitably be caught in a dilemma and will definitely not dare to attack him for a short time.

At that time, whether he turns around and runs away or continues to deal with them, he will have enough room to maneuver.

As for that little bastard who needs to drink human blood to survive, will he throw a tantrum and kick up a fuss when he is kidnapped…

Heh, Li Hai is not his grandfather, if he gets in the way, he will just break his legs and drag him along.

“Master Guo.”

Li Hai said with a smile, “Get me something to eat and drink, so I can be a well-fed ghost.”

Guo Huaijin squinted at him and nodded, “Alright.”

Immediately, he casually assigned a servant to fetch food and wine from the kitchen in the mansion.

Before long, wine, meat, bowls, and chopsticks were brought to Li Hai by the servant.

Also arriving was a complete set of nanmu furniture.

Then, under the cold and gloomy gazes of the crowd, Li Hai began to eat, chew, and drink heartily, completely unconcerned.

And time, also quietly passed in this strange dining atmosphere.

… …

The long night was as dark as ink, as if an endless black silk covered the earth.

In this darkness, everything was immersed in silence.

Only the occasional whistling of the wind and the rustling of the leaves would slightly break this tranquility.

However, as time passed, the night finally faded away.

Without knowing when, at the end of the dark sky above, a faint light appeared.

Gradually, the range of the light became larger and more golden.

Finally, it tore through most of the night.

The servants certainly ignored him, and after tying him up and checking the firmness of the ropes, they retreated to the side and stood quietly.

At this moment, a pale-faced, cyan-skinned, thin, and hunched brocade-robed young man, leading two black-clothed middle-aged servants holding knives and sticks, also walked into the courtyard at a leisurely pace.

“Hmm~”

Li Hai glanced at the ailing young man without leaving a trace, and muttered in his heart, “This should be Guo Huaijin's grandson, he looks like a consumptive ghost… Huh?!”

Suddenly, he ‘saw’ the young man’s personal interface from afar, or rather, ‘saw’ that the skill column was not empty like ordinary people, but contained something called… 'Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition'.

At the same time, his level column also had an item called 'Bloodline Divine Power'.

In other words, this Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition is a power belonging to the Bloodline Divine Power system.

“I never thought…”

Li Hai, who was tied to the blood-wood stake, pondered to himself, “In this strange world, besides martial arts, there is actually some kind of divine power?

As for the so-called bloodline… it should refer to DNA, human genes, and the like.”

While pondering, he carefully observed the other party's interface information—

Character Name: Unknown

Level Rank: Bloodline Divine Power → Inferior Grade

Skills: 《Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition》

Entry Characteristics: None

Strongest Shard: None

Just as Li Hai was observing and using the system to steal the so-called Bloodline Divine Power, Guo Huaijin, not far away, had already taken two steps as one and hurried to the young man's side, grabbing his thin arm and saying with a face full of concern:

“Shiwen, Grandpa has not been home these days, your heart and organs…”

“Grandpa doesn’t need to worry, Shiwen is fine.”

Guo Shiwen smiled and comforted him, “Perhaps because Shiwen has been actively treating for many years, Shiwen's heart pain has not been strong recently, but his appetite and strength are still weaker.”

“That's good, that's good.” A comforting smile finally appeared on Guo Huaijin's old face.

At the same time, this smile also appeared on Li Hai's face, a dozen steps away.

“The odds of winning… have increased by another point.” His smile flashed and disappeared.

Just now, Li Hai had already learned the so-called 《Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition》 Divine Power rooted in Guo Shiwen's bloodline without any hindrance.

And it was only after learning this divine power that he understood.

This technique is completely different from the martial arts techniques that can be learned postnatally.

It belongs to the ability that is ‘grown’ innately from the bloodline, or rather, can only be possessed by relying on innate awakening.

At the same time, this supernatural power has only one directional effect.

That is… by consuming one's own blood and increasing the burden on the heart, one can greatly increase physical strength and physique, and then dramatically increase overall combat power in a short time.

By comparison, it is a bit like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique in martial arts novels.

It's just that it consumes not true qi or internal force, but blood and the entire heart.

“Presumably, the reason why this little beast wants to suck human blood…”

Li Hai glanced at Guo Shiwen not far away and thought to himself, “It’s because of this supernatural power.”

Also, after learning 《Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition》, he deduced from the side.

This Guo Shiwen may not have activated, or does not have enough ability to allow this supernatural power to grow to a truly mature state.

Therefore, he was unlucky enough to only bear the cost of the supernatural power, but failed to possess its power and effect.

Therefore, Guo Shiwen would be so weak and so in need of human blood.

However, although he does not have the ability to make the supernatural power ‘grow’ to a mature state, Li Hai does.

Under the noses of the grandfather and grandson, Li Hai drove the [Study Hard] system and silently raised the Bloodline Divine Power 《Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition》 from the initial inferior level, almost like a seed, to its potential limit—the so-called lower grade level.

At the same time, Li Hai finally obtained the first entry characteristic in his life—[Berserk Level 1].

As for that Guo Huaijin, although he is powerful and has keen perception.

But he still could not perceive any abnormalities in this bloodline divine power rooted in the human body's gene level.

This is also the main reason why Li Hai dared to boldly upgrade 《Blood-Devouring Heart Ignition》.

In short, from now on, as long as he uses this supernatural power, Li Hai can obtain a short-term combat power leap of as much as 30% to 50% after paying a certain price.

“It’s best not to use this kind of life-draining skill if you can avoid it.”

Li Hai quietly looked around, looking at the more than a dozen strong men with guns standing on the ground of the courtyard and on the beams of the courtyard wall in all directions, and muttered to himself, “I only have one life, if I can be stable, I will be stable, if I can be cowardly, I will be even more cowardly.”
