Chapter 275: Experimentation: Part 3

Lin Sheng refocused himself as he continued onwards along the winding path in the woods.

Soon, another black hawk lay along the path, blocking it.

This time around, the hawk was much bigger than the last one, and its feathers look even tougher.

*Squawk!!*

The black hawk got up, its black eyes were empty barren of any emotions.

*Flap, flap…*

Its massive wings started flapping as it took flight. After a spin in the air, it charged at Lin Sheng with massive force as a piercing screech followed.

There was nothing else to say but fight.

Lin Sheng activated his half-dragon state as his holy power enhanced his body, he lifted his hand up, as lines upon lines of green dark powers blasted out.

The dark powers bound around the massive black hawk and lowered its charging speed. Grasping the advantage, Lin Sheng left forward and gave a lightning-fast karate chop onto the neck of the black hawk.

A crack later, the black hawk froze as it fell limply onto the ground, and died.

“Too weak. It’s just a little faster and stronger than the one before, but still of the same level. It has not surpassed a Level 4 warrior.”

Lin Sheng sighed a little, and compared to the time he had entered the dream, he was at least ten times stronger now.

This time, the black hawk did not have any soul fragments.

However, Lin Sheng did not mind that as he continued on. As he went along the path, he soon passed through a secluded silver waterfall.

After the waterfall was a massive granite cliff face, and a few black hawks of similar size stood at the top of the cliff, looking down.

On the stone cliff face were holes of different sizes, probably the nest of the black hawks.

“One, two, three, four, five…” Lin Sheng counted the number of black hawks on the top of the cliff.

The largest of them was just a little bigger than the earlier one he just killed.

“Shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s get this over and done with to avoid any other monsters appearing.”

Lin Sheng took a deep breath as he slowly walked forward towards the cliff face beneath the flock of black hawks.

These were black hawks of normal strength and were the best material for him to accumulate spiritual energies.

He looked around, and very quickly found and picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground.

Aiming it at one of the black hawks, Lin Sheng arced his body backward and flung the rock with deadly intent.

*Fhoosh!*

The rock flew at high speed towards the black hawks and struck true at the side of the wing. The impact sent a couple of feathers loose.

The black hawks were shocked and took flight. After spinning a circle in the air, they started swooping down towards Lin Sheng.

About ten meters distance, the first black hawk struck close as flashed its claws at Lin Sheng. He simply just sidestepped it, and the attack missed.

Just as it was about to fly away, a piercing pain surged in its back as a flood of feathers fell. Its entire spinal column had been severed by Lin Sheng’s elbow strike.

The black hawk fell to the ground, and before it died, the second, third, and fourth black hawks fell one after another. The instant a black hawk swooped at Lin Sheng, he would just smack it down.

Finally, the last and the largest black hawk let out a piercing cry as it swooped down to use its wings to strike at Lin Sheng while trying to peck at him with its sharp beak.

*Whoosh!!*

Lin Sheng spat out a glob of fire and struck the black hawk face first.

It let out a pitiful squawk, running and tumbling along as its entire body was on fire. Soon, it fell onto the ground, thrashing about before finally stopped moving altogether.

*Hiss…*

Countless black lines appeared from the body and entered Lin Sheng’s chest.

He simply just stood there as he closed his eyes to absorb the memories.

Not long later, he opened his eyes, and quickly walked towards the bottom of the cliff face, and started scaling the wall.

The cliff face was about a hundred meters in high, and there were holes of various sizes at the top. Very quickly, Lin Sheng had climbed a hole that was the size of a human and went into it.

There was an oval crater in the center of the hole, and on it were a nest made out of branches.

What surprised him was that there were a few wooden cups, a candle holder and a black book with a golden gloss to it.

Lin Sheng had seen this image from the memories he absorbed and took the book out of the nest.

The book seemed to not be targeted for humans, rather it was meant for a large monster to read as its entire scale was increased.

The words within the book were not Ancient Rehn, it was a language that he had never seen before.

Thankfully, the memories he had absorbed allowed him to understand most of it, and reading was not a problem.

“The Lamanier Inner Circle – Purification.”

Lin Sheng flipped through the pages and started frowning as he did not understand what this purification technique was for.

All around the black book were messy scribbles and handwriting.

“Return, return to the embrace of the Ancient King… Return….”

“We are on the right path… Don’t give up now… Soon… Soon….”

“I have already forgotten who I am, and I don’t know who will be next…”

Lin Sheng skimmed through the scribbles before looking at the content of the book proper.

“To purify the ancient royal bloodline within the giant hawks?” After going through a few pages, he finally understood what this book was all about.

To save time, he quickly read through it and pretty much understood what the book was all about.

It was a record on the secret technique of purifying a supernatural bloodline and was one of the three books of the Blood Tome of the Inner Circle.

The three books were separated into Purification, Cultivation, and Assimilation.

This was only the first book of the series, but this secret technique was only effective for someone with a supernatural bloodline within them.

At the end of the book, there were some notes on the methods on how to strengthen their feathers, seemingly meant for the black hawks.

“There are no techniques on how to strengthen one’s body… but this technique to purify one’s supernatural bloodline… if it can remove the impurities in one’s blood and increase the level of the bloodline, then it’s worth a try.”

Lin Sheng stood in the nest as he memorized every page of the technique.

He had long been unsatisfied with the Crag Dragon bloodline within him, and perhaps this technique will surprise him.

As he got out of the nest, he went about the other holes to search for the other two tomes, and soon he came across some shattered gemstones, and fruits. And that was it.

After spending some time on the cliff face, Lin Sheng had just gotten off it before he started feeling lightheaded.

The ticking of the clock started to ring out by his ears.

Lin Sheng quickly steadied himself as he looked for a place to hide, and ran over.

And just as he managed to hide, Lin Sheng could no longer hear his surrounding, and in place, was the rhythmic ticking of the clock.

“Huh!”

Lin Sheng sat up on his bed and rushed over to the table as he wrote down the purification technique that he had just gained from the dream into his notebook. Just as easily, he wrote them all down.

“There are no special materials required. This purification technique only requires meditation and manipulation, and no other bothersome steps.”

He read through the purification technique carefully and made sure to memorize everything.

He then looked at the sky outside.

Dawn had already broken, and the sky outside could turn bright at any time.

“Let’s test this out then. I can just stop if there’s a problem.”

If his summoned beings inherited his supernatural bloodline, he would have summoned them out to experiment on them, but most of his summoned beings do not have such bloodline within them, and he only had himself to test on.

Plus, from what he observed, the purification technique did not seem all that dangerous.

So he may as well give it a try, or two.

Lin Sheng sat on the bed, as he spent a couple of minutes to get into form, and once everything was stable, he started to close his eyes and meditated the purification method.

The Lamanier’s Inner Circle Purification Technique’s meditation was not the same as what Lin Sheng knew.

Normal meditations would require the meditator to be calm and focused. Not this.

This bizarre meditation’s first requirement was to take the natural form of the source creature that one has the bloodline of. Similar to self-hypnosis, just like if someone’s source creature was a fish, then during meditation, he needs to convince himself that he was that fish.

Lin Sheng’s willingness to try it out was within that reason.

For him, the one who had already absorbed so many memory fragments, such self-hypnosis was almost too easy since he just needed to tap into said memory.

The source of his bloodline was the Crag Dragon, and he had seen bits and pieces of the Crag Dragon’s memories when he absorbed the soul fragments.

The meditation needed just that.

As he meditated, his hand started making one hand signs after another, as his mouth let out the corresponding sound.

Just as this bizarre purification had just started, Lin Sheng felt a weird sensation welling up within him.

Strands upon strands of blood with special powers started shuddering and flowing within him, discarding impurities alongside the sound and the meditation.

“It actually worked?!” Lin Sheng was elated, and his meditative trance was broken.
