Looking at Su Yuan’s confident expression, Blood Soul True Monarch couldn’t quite tell if this kid was joking or serious.

Mastering the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber in just three days is something as difficult as reaching the heavens, even for an unparalleled genius deeply immersed in the Flesh and Blood Dao.

What gives this wild boy, Su Yuan, who emerged out of nowhere, the ability to do it?

And let alone three days, this kid just looked at the secret technique for less than ten minutes and dared to say he’s mastered it.

This isn’t the right way to court death.

Is he afraid I won’t dare to kill him?

Because Su Yuan’s actions were too abstract, Blood Soul True Monarch couldn’t even muster anger at the moment, only finding it slightly amusing.

He shook his head with a smile, saying:

"Just saying it with your mouth isn’t enough; whether you’ve mastered it should be proven in practice."

"Okay."

Su Yuan raised his hand, using it as a blade, and casually slashed in the direction of Blood Soul True Monarch.

A scarlet Blood Qi streaked through the air, heading straight for Blood Soul True Monarch.

His eyes narrowed, and the air in front of him suddenly solidified.

Faced with an air wall harder than a steel wall, the Blood Qi didn’t pause at all, slicing through it as easily as a sharp knife cutting flesh, and continued its charge.

But when the Blood Qi was only three inches away from Blood Soul True Monarch, it suddenly disappeared as if erased by an invisible rubber.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s strike, no matter how skillful, could never harm a Nascent Soul True Monarch, could it?

Yet, although Blood Soul True Monarch’s body was unharmed, his heart was critically struck.

"Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, it really is the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber!"

This phrase kept echoing in his mind, and his gaze towards Su Yuan changed.

"You... have you learned the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber before?"

Blood Soul True Monarch, having seen much, composed himself quickly after the initial shock, and asked in a serious voice.

He suspected that the core inheritance of the Blood God Sect had been leaked.

Su Yuan chuckled and replied:

"No, I had never learned this divine technique before."

"I just had a special talent for the Flesh and Blood Dao since I was young and simply learned quickly."

"As for killing people and plundering others’ essence blood to refine Blade Qi, it’s simply because I had caused too much bloodshed before, and essence blood from outside myself was excessively abundant. In a few breaths, I completed the refinement of the Blade Qi."

The reasoning was ample, but it still happened way too fast.

Blood Soul True Monarch went silent once more.

In fact, Su Yuan’s words had a bit of exaggeration.

He hadn’t practiced the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t practiced similar cultivation techniques.

For instance... the Blood Corruption Sword.

Indeed, the moment he saw the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, Su Yuan realized that this divine technique was akin to the Blood Corruption Sword!

The only difference was that the former used a saber while the latter used a sword.

Also, the former was somewhat incomplete and couldn’t perfectly integrate with the Decaying Demon Monarch’s subsequent inheritance.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Su Yuan was in the Demon Dao, he couldn’t have comprehended it at just one glance.

But regardless, the appearance of the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber confirmed a long-standing suspicion Su Yuan had since receiving the task of ’subduing the Blood God Sect.’

The foundation of the Blood God Sect was deeply linked with the Decaying Demon Monarch’s legacy.

For Su Yuan, who had mastered the ’Corruption Divine Kingdom’ and could be called the legitimate successor of the Decaying Demon Monarch, this was a fortunate event.

Of course, all this couldn’t be exposed.

High talent might be acceptable, but if Blood Soul True Monarch learned about his complete inheritance from the Decaying Demon Monarch, he’d be in danger.

"I’ll give you another demon technique, and if you can master it quickly as well, I’ll believe your exceptional talent."

Blood Soul True Monarch evidently wasn’t so easily deceived and quickly thought of a new testing method.

Su Yuan steeled himself in secret, placing titles with double comprehension effects like ’Demon Lord’ at the forefront, yet he remained calm outwardly, saying:

"Please, True Monarch, impart your knowledge."

The other party then took a blank jade scroll from the bookshelf behind him and began copying on the spot.

This action indicated that the demon technique Blood Soul True Monarch was about to test Su Yuan with was likely his secret technique, not passed to anyone else.

Su Yuan could only hope this demon technique suited him well enough to enable quick learning.

He did not regret pretending to be a genius in the Blood Dao earlier, for passing the test as such would yield infinite benefits.

What lay ahead was merely the final test of this trial.

Before long, a jade scroll filled with spiritual runes appeared in front of Su Yuan.

He glanced quickly over the entire style of the demon technique and instantly felt relieved.

This demon technique was not an evolved demon technique of the Blood Corruption Sword, but a Soul Dao Technique.

Its core was employing one’s Power of the Soul to assimilate others’ souls, converting them into puppets in a sinister divine technique.

The cultivation method for this demon technique was extremely dangerous, requiring one to convert their soul into a terrifying source of pollution, spreading like a plague to others’ souls.

Reaching the Great Success stage allowed one to taint and assimilate the souls of thousands with a single thought, turning them into one’s replicas.

Of course, a small jade scroll couldn’t document such vast content; it only contained the initial cultivation method for converting the soul into a pollution source, merely giving this demon technique a beginning.

As for difficulty, Su Yuan could only say... it was slightly easier than the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, given that the latter was an incomplete Divinity Transformation inheritance.

"So, can you master this method?"

Blood Soul True Monarch interlocked his fingers, his tone carrying a hint of expectation.

This expression aroused Su Yuan’s wariness at once.

Isn’t this just a test? What is Blood Soul True Monarch expecting?

Could he be so fond of talent?

But is that possible?

Su Yuan mentally noted to find a way to investigate after passing the test.

Thinking so internally, he responded on the surface:

"True Monarch, wanting to cultivate this demon technique called the Celestial Demon Parasitism Technique requires a cultivation environment with a strong aptitude for soul pollution, isn’t that so?"

"To pollute others, one must first endure pollution oneself, and the stronger the pollution source, the better its effect, am I correct?"

"Correct, well said."

Blood Soul True Monarch nodded approvingly, recognizing Su Yuan’s remarkable Demon Talent for discerning a core truth of the Celestial Demon Parasitism Technique so swiftly.

"There is a Netherworld Ghost Pool within the sect. Training the soul there day and night can imbue it with the Power of Evil Ghosts. Would you be willing to go?"

Blood Soul True Monarch inquired.

Su Yuan smiled faintly:

"No need for such trouble; I happen to have a method of soul pollution myself, comparable to the Power of Evil Ghosts when well-used."

"Though the cultivation process for the Celestial Demon Parasitism Technique is more cumbersome than the Blood-Transforming Divine Saber, I estimate completion within a day."

Blood Soul True Monarch laughed heartily:

"Su Yuan, I wish to accept you as my Direct Disciple, would you be willing?"

Motis: "???"

Accepted just like that?

What about me?
