CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 387: DESECRATED DEVIL ANGEL

Jin Taohua wanted to create a primary Blood Spirit and naturally wouldn’t handle it casually.

She first observed Chen Guan’s situation, estimating his level should still be within 40, his blood energy was not bad, but only at the level of the Fourth Awakening.

"He needs to continue devouring Blood Spirits to increase his level, otherwise, lacking blood energy, even having Secret Skills is useless." Jin Taohua thought, "However, upgrading by devouring Blood Spirits takes too long, it’s better to test first if he can acquire the Secret Skills of Blood Spirits. Otherwise, spending such a great cost to raise his level only for him to be unable to acquire Blood Spirit Secret Skills would be a waste of time and resources."

Thinking of this, seeing the demon boy trying to escape into the void, Jin Taohua’s mind moved, and a sword light rose from her body, turning into a stream of light shooting towards the void.

In an instant, the demon boy’s head and body were separated, falling from the sky, and he died a violent death on the spot.

Without even looking at the corpse, as if what she killed wasn’t a person but a mosquito or a fly.

Jin Taohua summoned a Fourth Awakening Secret Spirit with Secret Skills, dispersed it, and let Chen Guan directly absorb the Blood Spirit’s particles.

Seeing Jin Taohua feeding him again, and it was a Blood Spirit with Secret Skills, Chen Guan was naturally delighted and quickly operated the Secret Technique of One, merging the Blood Spirit’s energy with his own.

Soon, he completed the fusion of the Blood Spirit’s energy, obtaining a rare Secret Skill known as "Night Vision."

This Secret Skill wasn’t of high quality, merely granting vision in the dark, but its level was quite high, astonishingly at level 40.

Jin Taohua observed Chen Guan’s body and noticed faint white lines appearing in his eyes, a characteristic of possessing some eye-related Secret Skill, which he didn’t have before. That’s why she selected this Blood Spirit for his experiment.

"Sure enough, not bad. No. 6 had a very low starting point because of being tortured severely before death, but the upper limit is terrifyingly high, with the ability to acquire devouring absorption Secret Skills. With this ability, even if other aspects are lacking, it’s worth cultivating as the primary Blood Spirit." With this thought, Jin Taohua hesitated no more and began designing a reinforcement plan for Chen Guan.

Having too many Secret Skills is not a good thing because blood energy is limited, so it can’t be wasted on useless Secret Skills; every bit of blood energy must be used wisely.

Therefore, Jin Taohua wants all of No. 6’s Secret Skills to be excellent, few but refined, capable of handling various situations.

This was a necessary decision. After all, the Blood Spirit Banner is a Secret Treasure, and Blood Spirits are its capability rather than real pets.

Jin Taohua can only use the Blood Spirit Banner to control Blood Spirits in battle, and cannot direct each Blood Spirit’s battle in detail, relying on the Blood Spirits themselves.

If the Blood Spirits possess too many Secret Skills, resulting in chaotic skill usage, it would not be good.

This is also why Jin Taohua wanted to cultivate Chen Guan so much; it’s rare to find a Blood Spirit like him, intelligent and able to follow her instructions.

Jin Taohua began researching which Secret Skill combinations would be better, excluding low-level ones at first.

Blood Spirits don’t have cultivation abilities, so their Secret Skill levels generally don’t improve, remaining at the level they had in life, so the levels must be high, at least sufficient within the Grotto Heaven.

If a visit to the Great Cave Heaven is needed in the future, a method will be devised then.

So Jin Taohua’s first criterion for choosing Secret Skills is that they must be level 60.

Escape Technique, Body Technique, Body Protection Divine Skill, Attack Techniques, these are necessary Secret Skills.

The Purple Qi from the East just now was a decent Attack Secret Skill, with some restraint effects against demons, hence able to swiftly defeat the demon boy.

But the level of this Secret Skill is too low, sufficient for dealing with small demons, but against slightly stronger ones, the Purple Qi from the East would probably be ineffective.

Therefore, Jin Taohua plans to equip Chen Guan with another level 60 Attack Secret Skill, for future use when level increases, but that’s for later. Currently, Jin Taohua needs No. 6 to absorb one main Secret Skill.

After much deliberation, Jin Taohua summoned a level 60 Blood Spirit to appear before Chen Guan.

Seeing this Blood Spirit, Chen Guan was a bit surprised.

The Blood Spirit resembled a demon, over four meters tall, with reverse-jointed legs, a head with bull and sheep horns, and bat-like wings on the back.

However, it was merely a mass of Blood Shadow, not a true demon, and its original form before death was unknown, yet it seemed to exude an extremely terrifying aura.

What truly surprised Chen Guan wasn’t its appearance, but its entire body, from horns to toes, back to front, every inch of Blood Shadow covered with bizarre golden light patterns.

This demonic Blood Shadow, gleaming with golden light, mysterious, evil, sacred, and magnificent, united these contradictory adjectives on this Blood Spirit.

Chen Guan found it hard to discern whether the golden light patterns on this demon Blood Spirit were a single Secret Skill or composed of many.

This was the first Secret Skill Jin Taohua chose for Chen Guan. This Blood Spirit was known as the "Desecrated Devil Angel" before death, a level 60 World-Defying Secret Spirit, extremely rare, which Jin Taohua had only seen once.

Jin Taohua acquiring the Desecrated Devil Angel into the Blood Spirit Banner back then was an accident.

Once transformed into a Blood Spirit, the Desecrated Devil Angel retained its strongest Secret Skill, named "In the Name of God."

In the Name of God, executing devil means, the most justifiable Attack Secret Skill, yet also the foulest killing technique.

This time, Jin Taohua didn’t directly disperse the Desecrated Devil Angel. With a thought, the flying sword that killed the demon boy swung towards the devil angel’s little finger.

The slender pink sword cut through like tofu, slicing off the devil angel’s left hand little finger.

Jin Taohua pointed, and the little finger wrapped in golden light patterns flew towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan quickly reached out to catch it, feeling a scorching heat surge to his soul as his palm touched the golden light patterns on the Blood Shadow, almost failing to resist the urge to throw the finger away.

Ultimately, Chen Guan held on, operating the Secret Technique of One to absorb the energy from the finger into his body.

Even just the little finger’s energy was astonishingly formidable. Chen Guan felt the energy coursing like a spring, and even after absorbing for a while, not much of the energy had dissipated.

"Still too weak, it can only be done slowly." Jin Taohua allowed Chen Guan to swallow the little finger and slowly refine it.

Initially, she was worried that Chen Guan might not be able to devour the Blood Spirit Energy of the Devil Angel, given their significant level gap and completely different energy quality.

Chen Guan’s ability to absorb the energy from the little finger already made Jin Taohua quite relieved.

Once Chen Guan fully absorbs the Desecrated Devil Angel, he would gain its "In the Name of God" Secret Skill.
