Chapter 154 154: Blood Heart



The person that Yoze was the most concerned about and interested in was Blood Master Steel. Compared with the news that Blood Master Scarlett had become a witch after a year. 

Yoze was more interested in the two unknown talents in Blood Master Steel's talent panel. For him to have two talents that couldn't be identified by his cheat made Yoze immediately focus his attention on him.

This was the first time his cheat had not been able to identify talent before. The Second Best System had even been able to detect talents related to Spirituality and Crystal Nerves before he was even aware that they existed.

For his cheat to not be able to detect them meant that Blood Master Steel might have a cheat on his own. The possibility of meeting another person with a cheat or possibly another system made Yoze's heart speed up in excitement.

Countless thoughts raced through Yoze's mind before he calmed himself down and focused on what other possibilities could result in his cheat not being able to identify talents.

"It might not necessarily be another cheat-like talent or ability like mine. It might just be a new talent that has never been acquired by another human or creature in this world." 

Yoze thought about how he had gotten his Human Spiritual body cultivation talent. If he hadn't been the one to awaken this talent would his system have been able to identify it?

"Let me check what these unknown talents are first before I decide that he is just like me." Yoze cleared his mind before sending talent marks to target Blood Master Scarlett's grade 6 Dead Crystal Nerves and Blood Master Steel's grade 9 Unknown talent.

[Grade 6 Dead Crystal Nerves talent has been locked on. Grade 5 Dead Crystal Nerves has been added.]

[Grade 9 Unknown talent has locked on. Grade 8 Unknown talent has been added. Analysis of talent is being made...]

[Unknown talent has been identified and the name has been changed to Blood Heart talent.]

"Blood Heart?" Yoze was surprised to see the unknown talent didn't seem like much of a cheat.

Still, he didn't underestimate this ability since it could be an extremely useful talent that could help in the future. He mentally pulled up a description to see what it could help him do.

[Blood Heart is a talent that had been acquired by Grave Grave (Blood Master Steel) during grave digging. His heart was replaced by an abnormality with a new heart that produced a new type of blood that changes properties. Blood Heart is the talent that influences all matters of heart blood production.]

Yoze's pupils contracted when he read that this talent came from an abnormality. He didn't think that someone else could have gotten talents from abnormal events other than himself. 

But after reading the description further he felt that this replacement of a heart wasn't exactly done with Blood Master Steel's permission. Even he wouldn't allow anything to take his heart away from him even at the promise of replacing it with a better one.

That was too much trust to place in anyone much less an abnormality that was created by the rules of the world being broken. Just imagining the Undead Baby attempting to offer him eternal life sent a shiver down Yoze's spine.

"Fight me." Suddenly Blood Master Steel stepped in front of Yoze seeing that he wasn't asking why he was there. 

It was a simple two-word but Yoze could tell that Blood Master Steel wasn't planning on taking a no for an answer. The look of fire in his eyes was obvious and he could tell that he would attack him right away if he denied his request.

"Fine, you practice the Blood Breaker martial art set right?" Knowing he couldn't refuse, Yoze accepted the challenge.

He still wanted to confirm if Blood Master Steel trained in the Blood Breaker martial art set. He had seen that he had talent when the Blood Breaker talent so he wondered if he had trained in the martial art.

As he expected, Blood Master Steel flashed a look of surprise before he calmly answered in a deep and rough voice.

"That's correct."

"Great if I am going to fight you I need to gain something. And that something is your complete Blood Breaker Martial Art Set." Yoze said his request.

"That's fine." 

Blood Master Steel looked at them with an odd face and took a thick book out of his pouch. On it had a highly detailed person whose blood vessels were popping out of their skin.

Taking the thick book, Yoze briefly looked over its contents to make sure this was Blood Breaker before placing it on the table. He then tilted his head toward the door, to signal to Blood Master Steel they should fight outside.

"Jewel, do you want to come along?" Remembering that Jewel wanted to be more involved, Yoze tossed her an invitation.

"Uhh, I'll stay home today. I don't think anything is going to survive after you two fight. And I don't want to risk my life being around this conflict." Jewel scratched her head and left the room with haste.

Just as Yoze noticed that Blood Master Steel and Blood Master Scarlett's relationship wasn't as simple as being enemies. Jewel noticed that they were close as well and knew that this fight wasn't going to be fair.

Once Yoze crushed Blood Master Steel Jewel didn't want to worry about her safety if she was taken as a hostage. Not only that there wasn't going to be any benefit in going along with him like when they went hunting demons.

It was just putting her life in unnecessary amounts of danger. So Jewel decided that she would simply wait at home for Yoze to come back home victorious.

"Alright," Seeing that Jewel didn't want to go, Yoze took Blood Master Steel and Blood Master Scarlett to the same hill he had wrecked during his advancement to the Blood Master realm.

"What is this place?"

The moment they arrived and Blood Master Scarlett saw the level of destruction that he had left behind she showed a bit of concern on her face. She had already known that with Yoze's strength, he would be a tough opponent to beat even for Blood Master Steel.

That was one of the reasons she had told Yoze that he would be targeted by Blood Master Steel when they first met. As a martial artist that trained in the Blood Breaker martial art, he needed to find strong opponents to fight.

The stronger they were compared to Blood Master Steel the easier it would be for him to break through his limits. When he went after her he had wanted to use her as an opponent to break through to the third level of the Blood Master Realm.

Then he fought the Thorn Rose Sect's elders to break through to the fourth level in a short period of a few months. This kind of speed was demonic and was impossible to achieve by normal means even by the talented.

However, there was a clear problem that Blood Master Steel had to deal with and that was once he reached the peak the opponents he could fight shrunk.

As he grew strong it became harder to surpass his limits forcing him to seek them out by any means necessary. As a peak Blood Master, there were only two groups of people that he could fight that could allow him to break through.

The first group was the next step for martial artists, Martial Grandmasters. But finding Martial Grandmasters to fight was difficult. Even after beating up multiple elders of the Thorn Rose Cultivation Sect, the Sect Master didn't show his face.

Blood Master Steel could have tried to find another Martial Grandmaster to provoke but he knew that he had to be careful of who he tried to fight. If he wasn't careful the only outcome of the fight would have been his death, not a breakthrough.

With the difficulty of finding Martial Grandmasters with the right amount of strength and accessibility being extremely low, he could only turn to the second group of people. That second group of people was abnormally strong martial artists that didn't fit their martial art realm.

In Blood Master Scarlett's knowledge, she only knew two people that fit this category. The first person was Blood Master Steel himself and the second person was Yoze.

When they met, Yoze was still only at the peak of first-rate martial artists but he could kill Blood Masters easily. As for his ability to compete with Martial Grandmasters, she didn't know.

But with nowhere else to go for an opponent to fight, she helped guide Blood Master Steel to him by using her sect's connection. What she didn't expect to see was that Yoze himself had broken through to the Blood Master realm.

That made her both comforted by the fact Blood Master Steel found someone worthy of fighting as well as worried that this fight would turn into a tragedy. At first, she had complete confidence in Blood Master Steel winning since she had seen him overcome almost impossible odds before.

But ever since saw Yoze in the flesh her heart began to pound and her mind raced as seeds of doubt were planted and rapidly growing.
