Although he was leveling up, and the blood kirin was being very careful, Han Sen still noticed its approach. He was shocked, and he wondered if he should summon the Demon Bug King Bai Sema and call for Fox Queen.
Han Sen had chosen to level up there instead of in the palace because he didn't want Fox Queen to see him leveling up.
Han Sen didn't think the blood kirin would dare come. It wouldn't have come out of the lotus mountain at that time, so it wasn't too dangerous.
But the blood kirin had actually come out. And it was climbing up the mountain.
But seeing the blood kirin acting so sneakily, Han Sen didn't do anything. He just kept an eye on it.
The closer the blood kirin got to the peak, the more careful it became. It looked as if it was scared.
When it was only a few hundred meters away from the peak, the blood kirin hid behind a big rock. It peeked at Han Sen, but it didn't come any closer.
Han Sen kept leveling up to Duke, and he kept an eye on the blood kirin. If it did something strange, he'd have to summon the Bai Sema and call for Fox Queen.
But the blood kirin continued to hide and watch. It peeked its head out to look at Han Sen, but it didn't come any closer.
Han Sen thought it was too scared to come any closer. So, he focused on leveling up.
The blood in his body was boiling, and his heart was beating like thunder. It was like an engine that was running at full power. The sound of his heartbeat was like the beating of a drum.
The first beat of his heart made his blood run faster. It made his blood hotter and hotter.
Seeing that this was the most critical moment, Han Sen didn't have the time to watch the blood kirin. He summoned the Demon Bug King Bai Sema and prepared for the final push.
Han Sen looked like a man made of blood. Blood kept oozing out of his skin, and it kept seeping out. Han Sen's body was covered in layers of blood crystals.
Han Sen's leveling up wasn't an accident. The blood that came out of his body made Han Sen feel as if he was shedding the skin of a snake.
The old blood was expelled from the body, and the new blood gradually contained a mysterious power. As the blood continued to transform, that mysterious power became stronger and stronger.
His body was covered by layers of old blood. Han Sen's entire body seemed to have turned into a piece of blood stone. He sat there motionless, his mind completely immersed in this wondrous feeling.
The Blood-Pulse Sutra leveling up to Duke was a smooth process. There were no sudden changes. His blood went from Marquise to Duke, and before he knew it, he had leveled up to Duke. He was a Duke again.
After coming out of the selfless state, Han Sen felt something wet on his face. He opened his eyes and was given a fright. A red tongue was licking his face. The blood kirin was right in front of him.
"How did it get in? Why isn't the Demon Bug Bai Sema reacting?" Han Sen was so scared that he fell back. But the blood kirin's body flashed, and it was right next to him. Han Sen was much slower than the creature.
But the blood kirin didn't release any power. It just licked Han Sen. Han Sen was so scared that his soul almost jumped out of his body. Then, he realized that the blood kirin was only licking his old blood.
Han Sen didn't move. He didn't want to anger the blood kirin. They were so close, and if the blood kirin got angry, Han Sen wouldn't even be able to teleport away. He'd have to use his super god spirit mode.
Fortunately, the blood kirin didn't want to do that. It just kept licking his body. It licked the old blood away, and it looked as if it was enjoying it. It was like it was eating ice cream.
"This guy likes to eat blood. Is it going to eat my old blood and then drink my new blood?" Han Sen's heart raced. He looked at the Demon Bug King Bai Sema.
The Demon Bug King Bai Sema hadn't been damaged, and that was what Han Sen had expected. If the Demon Bug King Bai Sema had been attacked, Han Sen would have noticed. The blood kirin wouldn't have been able to get in without him noticing.
But now, the Demon Bug King Bai Sema was fine, and the blood kirin had managed to get in. That confused Han Sen.
Ever since Han Sen had obtained the Demon Bug King Bai Sema, he hadn't found any power that could get in without breaking it. Not even Little Star's Starsea Travel could.
While Han Sen was thinking, the blood kirin licked all the old blood off his body. It licked its lips as if it hadn't had enough. Its red eyes looked at Han Sen.
"After eating my old blood, you want something new?" Han Sen gathered up power. He readied himself for a fight.
But all the blood kirin did was look at him. Then, it turned around and ran back to its lotus mountain.
Han Sen froze for a while, and he thought to himself, "What is going on with this guy?"
After the blood rain, Han Sen didn't see the blood kirin appear for the first time. That made Han Sen very curious. It wasn't even absorbing the blood bone air.
"Did it eat enough of my old blood today?" Han Sen wondered.
For a few days, Han Sen didn't see the blood kirin appear. But Han Sen didn't really care.
Even though the Blood-Pulse Sutra had reached Duke, Han Sen didn't think he could beat the blood kirin in a place like White Bone Big Hell. Plus, Han Sen still didn't know how the blood kirin had managed to get through the Demon Bug King Bai Sema.
Han Sen was researching his Blood-Pulse Sutra's element after it reached Duke class. He wanted to know if his dual-element body would be able to break the restrictions.
After activating the element of the Blood-Pulse Sutra, Han Sen's fitness increased. It wasn't as good as Jadeskin, but it wasn't bad.
Aside from that, though, there was no other special power. That made Han Sen depressed. He could feel that the Blood-Pulse Sutra had a special power, but he couldn't use it. He didn't know what it was for.
It was like a human organ. Humans knew where it was, and they knew it was useful. But before human medicine was developed, they didn't know what it was for.
"This power can't only be used to make babies, can it?"
Han Sen felt depressed. He decided to go back and ask the members of Blood Legion about the Blood-Pulse Sutra. He wanted to know how their Blood-Pulse Sutra worked. Using it to make babies was a waste.
Jadeskin and the Blood-Pulse Sutra's elements were very strong. Han Sen estimated that he might be able to break the restrictions.
But to make sure it worked, Han Sen decided to help Little Angel reach Duke class first. With Little Angel's combined power, there was no chance of failure.
Han Sen had a lot of Ghost Bone power. If he gave some to Little Angel, it wouldn't be hard for her to become a Duke. But when Han Sen tried to do it, he noticed that Little Angel didn't like the Ghost Bone power. She couldn't absorb it.
