I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 419: Chapter 360: Bloodline Dominator (Purple)

Li Qi’s eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the familiar figure before him, his previously tense body suddenly relaxed, and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth: “Boss, you saved me once again.”​

His words were full of self-mockery.

Being such a subordinate truly couldn’t be called competent—since entering the Demon Suppression Abyss, this was already the second time the boss had rescued him from peril.

A subordinate should have been clearing obstacles and solving problems for the boss, but instead, he kept causing trouble time and again. ​

Qin Tian raised his hand to pat his shoulder, the warmth from his palm carrying a calming power: “I bear responsibility for this too; you shouldn’t blame yourself.”​

Li Qi shook his head with a bitter smile.

The boss’s bloodline evolution, along with his own, had also risen together, a massive opportunity indeed.

Yet, the people of the Blood Demon Cult happened to be nearby, and the sudden surge in his bloodline’s power became an obvious beacon, leading to his capture. ​

It could only be said that his luck was truly a bit unfortunate. ​

At this moment, Li Qi finally had time to check his own condition. He introspected himself and found that his Bloodline Power had not diminished at all, flowing with a gentle luster; his body had also returned to its peak state. The tense nerves finally relaxed, and he exhaled deeply, dispelling most of the pent-up frustration in his chest. ​

Although he knew that as long as the boss was willing, he could help him recast the Night Demon Bloodline at any time.

But he worried that losing his original bloodline foundation might cause irreversible damage to the functioning of his Spiritual Energy and physical strength. If everything had to be rebuilt from scratch, he truly couldn’t accept it. ​

Luckily, the thing he worried about didn’t happen after all.

“Boss, now what do we…” Li Qi asked.

“Wait a moment, the Military Department’s pursuit team will be here soon.” Qin Tian glanced at the dead man in the blood robe, the four tumors on his back still present; such bizarre methods of the Blood Demon Cult had to be made known to the Military Department.

“Yes.”

Next, Qin Tian and Li Qi waited there for the pursuit team’s arrival. Taking this opportunity, Li Qi began to exhibit his newly awakened abilities one by one, rapidly mastering them under Qin Tian’s guidance.

From evolving from a Night Demon to a Night Demon King, Li Qi’s power surged tremendously, while the Night Demon King Bloodline granted him top-tier Dark Spiritual Energy affinity.

Once the battle was over and they left the Demon Suppression Abyss, with unlimited supplies of various Cultivation Resources, it wouldn’t take long for him to break through to Tier Six.

During this process, Qin Tian was also acclimating to his newly acquired talent.

[Name]Bloodline Dominator (Purple)​

[Type]Composite Talent​

[Introduction]You possess a powerful control over blood, capable of manipulating the flow of Qi and Blood within a certain range of all living beings. You can also condense blood into bloodlines, absorbing surrounding creatures’ blood into your Spiritual Energy, maintaining organ activity through bloodline encasement when the body splits, and forcefully reassembling the body using bloodlines as a medium.

This talent exhibits significant advantages in combat, cultivation, and survival.

In combat, facing a powerful enemy, suddenly disrupting their Qi and Blood flow to cause it to reverse will definitely catch them off guard, while using Qi and Blood manipulation on significantly weaker opponents can literally make them explode.

As for cultivation and survival, the benefits are self-evident.

Come to think of it, the man in the blood robe was truly unlucky; this kind of blood control ability could catch anyone off guard, but he just happened to encounter him.

Night Demon itself evolved from the talents of a Vampire, inheriting the lineage’s blood-related abilities. After evolving into the Night Emperor Bloodline, apart from the ancestor bloodline, no one else could possibly shake the Blood of the Night Emperor.

Upon acquiring the new talent, Qin Tian noticed a peculiar fluctuation emanating faintly from within the blade of the Black Frost Blade, a familiar sign similar to the phenomenon that occurred before the Spiritual Awakening of Shadowstrike.

This indicated that, after long nourishments by the Master of Arms and God Emperor of Weapons, the Black Frost Blade was finally about to awaken its sword soul along with the comprehensive enhancements.

…

“Here we are, right here.”

Chen Jishan glanced at the shattered canyon below and the two people standing within it, his eyes flickering as he immediately led five team members diving down.

Clap~

With a firm step, Chen Jishan landed at a distance of several dozen meters from the two individuals, still maintaining a safe distance as their identities could not be officially confirmed yet.

“Are you friends from the pursuit team? I’m Qin Tian, acting commander of the Crimson Gold Legion.”

Qin Tian took the initiative to identify himself and threw his officer’s ID across.

Chen Jishan grasped the officer ID, checking Qin Tian’s name, rank, and department affiliation. After verifying every detail, his expression slightly relaxed, saluting in acknowledgment.

“Commander Qin, I am Chen Jishan, the leader of the pursuit team.”

Chen Jishan stepped forward, handing the officer ID back to Qin Tian, then glanced at the headless corpse with four tumors on its back at Qin Tian’s feet, his brow slightly furrowed, “Commander Qin, he is…?”

“He’s from the Blood Demon Cult.”

Qin Tian went straight to the point, recounting the entire process of infiltrating the cave, rescuing Li Qi, and battling the man in the blood robe. When they heard that the masked person who abducted Li Qi was actually a puppet, capable of merging with a Spiritualist to master multiple Bloodline Abilities, everyone’s expressions changed.

“Human Puppet Golem, has the Blood Demon Cult’s research reached such a stage?”

Chen Jishan’s spine chilled, injecting Bloodline Power into the Golem to give it combat strength comparable to Tier Six was already shocking enough.

Yet, the Blood Demon Cult could forcefully merge multiple bloodlines into one, truly overturning what was known in the Spiritual Energy world.

“Commander Qin.”

Chen Jishan took a deep breath, speaking with a serious tone: “Everything you’ve described, I will report truthfully to higher-ups.”

“Good.”

Qin Tian nodded. His direct superior was not in the Demon Suppression Abyss, and communication stones were quite unstable over long distances, so this report task was best left to the pursuit team.

Besides, no one could take credit for his achievements.

However, during his account, he did conceal one detail, which was the Bloodline Filter.

He told Chen Jishan that the Bloodline Filter was destroyed in the battle, when in fact, he had kept the machine for himself.

This was a request from Karsas, whose former self was a top-tier biologist in the field, with profound knowledge in genes and bloodlines and had once developed the Superman Potion.

Upon seeing that this machine could filter bloodline essence, he strongly suggested keeping the machine for research, believing they might eventually develop a complete process for extracting and transplanting bloodlines.

It must be said, what Karsas wanted to do was no different from the Blood Demon Cult.

But after much consideration, Qin Tian ultimately agreed, and as for the reason—

Only he was truly clear about it.
