Mysterious Martial Skill in the Blood Vein Ring
After Shi Yan withdrew the Profound Qi that had flown out of his body, he set his eyes upon the crimson ring on his left hand’s ring finger. This mysterious ring, which he had named ‘Blood Vein Ring’, came from the blood pool, and had some connection with the pool...
As he was thinking, he recalled the time when he wore the ring for the first time. Back then, the Profound Qi in his body was very weak, but the moment he wore the ring, the Profound Qi rushed toward the ring in a wild manner. But since it was too weak then, the Qi couldn’t flow into the ring across his skin.
Now that he had already reached the Third Sky, meaning his Profound Qi had been strengthened and refined to the point that it could move out of his body...
What would happen if the Profound Qi went into the ring?
Shi Yan was curious and guessed that there was a secret inside this ancient ring. Maybe after studying this ring, he could find out the reason why his meridians had changed.
Through the leaves, Shi Yan observed for a while. Those warriors from Mo Family were moving away from him, and would not came back in a short time.
Shi Yan decided to give it a shot!
At first, the Profound Qi was flowing slowly in his dantian, then it suddenly accelerated and rushed into his left arm. The Qi moving rapidly, he felt a numb pain in the veins of his left arm. The Qi, with a crushing force, rushed all the way into the ring finger on his left hand, and lashed against the skin under the ring.
Like smoke, the Profound Qi leaked out from between the ring and the skin, making the sound of steam coming out of a kettle, and the pure energy dived right inside the ring in an instant.
The Blood Vein Ring let out a crimson light, as if a protective layer of the ring was ruptured. At this point, a strange energy jumped out of the Blood Vein Ring and flew back into Shi Yan’s arm. It went straight up to his neck, and finally arrived in his mind.
Martial Skill--- Rampage!
The energy, coming out of the Blood Vein Ring, was a series of memory fragments. This ‘Rampage’ was a strange martial skill. The training procedure became deeply engraved in his mind.
Martial skill taught warriors how to operate Profound Qi, and contained the skill of attacking by Profound Qi. Just as the ranking for Alchemists, it was divided into five grades----Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Sacred and God. [1]
But there were some differences between the ranking of Martial Skills and that of Alchemists. Every grade of Alchemists consisted of 7 sub-levels, while martial skills contained no sub-levels.
High grade martial skills brought the best out of Profound Qi inside Warriors and enabled a warrior with enormous ability to attack. The higher the martial skill, the better it tapped the Profound Qi. If a warrior was to train high grade martial skill, he had to reach a high level first. The higher the martial skill, the stricter the condition it required.
Generally speaking, warriors of Elementary and Nascent level were suitable for training Mortal, Human and Disaster for Profound, Earth and Nirvana for Spirit, Sky and Spirit for Sacred, and True God and King God for God.
It was a waste of time if a warrior of lower grade tried to train with high grade martial skills.
If one’s grade was too low and Profound Qi was not intensive enough, one would not succeed in training a high grade martial skills. Even if he barely succeeded, he could not use the power of high grade martial skill proficiently, for his grade and power were not enough. It was best for a warrior to train with the martial skill accordant to his warrior grade.
For example, even if a warrior of Nascent possessed martial skill of God, it was a total waste. Because he could never be able to train it with his low warrior grade.
And of course, if a warrior of high grade trained with low level martial skill, he couldn’t put his power to good use either.
If a warrior of True God got only low grade martial skills of Mortal and Profound, his ability would be restricted. For, his martial skills were too low for his warrior grade; he could only use 70%-80% of his ability.
On the Grace mainland, Martial skills were more treasured than pills from alchemists; they were the most valuable treasure on this mainland. Generally speaking, martial skills were controlled by those honorable families and all sorts of forces. It was one of the attractions for warriors, and as such they went to those honorable families.
The higher the grade, the more valuable the martial skill. Warriors of high grade would be restricted a lot if they didn’t possess high-grade martial skill. They would suffer from this disadvantage, sometimes even be killed in battles.
Thus, in order to acquire a suitable high grade martial skill, those high-leveled warriors would sacrifice anything.
Sitting straight in the foliage, Shi Yan sorted out the memory of Rampage in his mind little by little. After he put those memory fragments in order, he found that the martial skill of Rampage consisted of three levels as well. What got imprinted in his mind now was only the first level of the training process. He had no idea which grade of martial skill Rampage belonged to, or whether Rampage suited himself or not.
This martial skill leaked out from the Blood Vein Ring and rushed into his mind in a straight yet quite weird way. To train with this martial skill one needed to counter- flow the Profound Qi, which was of quite the opposite way to general martial skills. Shi Yan hesitated. Could he train this incomplete martial skill whose inside story was still not known.
As one of the 5 biggest families in the Merchant Union, Shi Family had its own martial skills, the highest of which reached the Spirit grade. It was regarded as a family heirloom by the Master of Shi Family---- Shi Jian. This old man was the only person who had reached the level to train with it.
Nonetheless, apart from this Martial Skill of grade Spirit, Shi Family also possessed Mortal and Profound martial skills.
Shi Yan had decided to, before he found this, return to Shi Family and train with their Mortal and Profound martial skills with his new identity. But now, the Blood Vein Ring had produced this mysterious and unknown martial skill; he was totally confused. Whether to train with it or not?
