Chapter 162 162: Blood Adaptation



[Blood Adaptation is a talent acquired by Grave Grave after receiving a blood heart from an abnormal entity. Blood Adaptation is a talent for allowing the special blood to adapt to the changes and conditions of the body that it is inside. Blood Adaptation talent covers anything related to blood changes and adaptation of produced blood.]

"Does that mean without this talent there was a chance that the blood produced by my blood heart might trigger an adverse reaction from my body?" Yoze's face turned grim as he quickly understood that his life could have been in danger if he hadn't taken the chance to grab the second unknown talent.

"Forget it, no need to think about what would have happened if I didn't get this talent from Blood Master Steel. Since I have it I don't need to ruin my mood about an unknown fate." 

After sighing at how he needed to be careful when it came to acquiring talents from abnormal entities and unnatural events Yoze's mind quickly turned towards the question of whether he should grab the Blood Breaker talent.

"Since I have the Blood Breaker martial art set, having the related talent would be useful. But at the same time, I would miss the chance to get Blood Master Scarlett's witchcraft talent." Yoze thought to himself before he eventually decided to acquire Blood Master Scarlett's talent in witchcraft.

His reasoning was simple, Blood Master Steel's Blood Breaker talent was too low grade and he had plenty of talent when it came to martial arts and body cultivation. While it would have been nice for him to get a talent directly related to Blood Breaker he didn't need it to make quick progress with the martial art set.

On the other hand, Yoze's talent when it came to witchcraft and immortal cultivation was too low for his liking. He wanted to add more talents to make these two categories of talent better but he didn't have many chances when it came to witchcraft.

While there wasn't much chance for Yoze to copy many immortal cultivation talents he still was able to upgrade his Crystal Nerves talent as well as gain some talents in certain immortal cultivation methods. However, he never had a chance to do the same for witchcraft or his Dead Crystal Nerves talents until he met Blood Master Scarlett again.

Now that he had this opportunity to get a boost to his talent in witchcraft he needed to take it as he didn't know when he would meet a witch with such high talent in witchcraft. After making up his mind, Yoze turned his attention to the large dirt mound that was concealing her body.

"But to get her talent I need to be able to see her body to use a talent mark on her. I have to wait for her to put down her barrier." Looking at the barrier concealing Blood Master Scarlett's body, Yoze was reminded of the few limitations of his cheat.

He had to be able to see his targets before he could use his talent mark. If his target went behind a wall before he had targeted them then his talent mark wouldn't be able to target them until he saw them again.

However, the more he thought about how he had used his cheat over the years he realized that he had never tested if he could use his target's spiritual energy as a replacement for seeing their body. It was true that before he could sense spiritual energy from individual people he couldn't use his talent mark on people he couldn't see.

But just as his cheat had been evolving alongside him, Yoze was now able to sense and distinguish spiritual energies between people. So there was a need for him to test to see if he could now use spiritual energy as a way to replace his sight.

"Let's see if I can use Blood Master Scarlett's spiritual energy to target her." Curious about how his experiment would go, Yoze turned his focus to Blood Master Scarlett's spiritual energy.

Looking past the dirt mound, Yoze was able to see that there was a purple egg-shaped gathering of spiritual energy that he was able to identify as Blood Master Scarlett's spiritual energy. Focusing his gaze on her spiritual energy, Yoze threw his last talent mark at the purple egg spiritual energy.

[Name: Scarlett Grave [NewBorn]]

[Age: 57]

[Talents: Martial Arts Comprehension (Grade 7), Body Cultivation (Grade 7), Thorny Rose Cultivation (Grade 5), Rapid Calculation (Grade 4), Emotion Control (Grade 9), Witchcraft (Grade 6), Dead Crystal Nerves (Grade 6), Memorization (Grade 4)]

[Grade 6 Witchcraft talent has been locked on. Grade 2 Witchcraft talent has been upgraded to grade 5.]

The moment Yoze upgraded his Witchcraft talent he felt his connection to his Dead Crystal Nerves deepen and his control of the crystal energy surrounding his Dead Crystal Nerves felt as if it became much better. 

"The feeling of acquiring talents and upgrading talents will never get old. " Yoze thought to himself as he stopped training and turned towards Blood Master Steel who was still absorbed in his training.

"Blood Master Steel how are you feeling? From how active you are, I am guessing you are not feeling that you are losing control of your body, right?" Yoze said, trying to get Blood Master Steel's attention.

"I am in control." Blood Master Steel stopped his training and said to Yoze.

"That is good since you are doing alright. I am going to leave. If you want to contact me you know where I am staying."

"One more thing, since I did fight you I consider that to be accepting and completing the Thorn Rose Sect's request. So if you could do me a favor and inform Blood Master Scarlett to help me get the 100 thousand silver from the sect." Remembering the Thorn Sect's tempting offer, Yoze quickly asked to get his payment for his service.

"Don't worry since you fought me and even helped me regain control over my body then I will return the favor." Blood Master Steel calmly said as he walked over to Blood Master Scarlett's dirt mound and knocked three times.

The moment Blood Master Steel did his third knock the dirt mound crumbled to the ground revealing a composed and calm Blood Master Scarlett.
