Duan Li nodded.
”That's right, inside these four small bottles are the blood that was extracted from the One Hundred Thousand graveyard lake, in short the blood pool!” Duan Li replied.
However what Duan Li had just said was only half the truth. In fact, these blood was actually his own blood!
Back when he went to change his tattered uniform, he was still pondering on the method to increase the strength of his followers exponentially within a short period of time. It was then that he remembered about the blood pool that had skyrocketed his physical body to the pinnacle level of the Foundation establishment realm in one go!
If he was not mistaken, the extreme potency within that blood pool were actually caused by the crimson mysterious pearl, and right now, that pearl was somewhere within his body!
Therefore, he decided to see for himself if his blood contained the miraculous effect like those inside the blood pool. Prickling his index finger, a tiny blotch of blood popped out.
When he used his identify ability on it, the information he got had thoroughly excited him!
[Host's blood. Preliminary analysis shows that the blood contained a mysterious effect from an unknown origin.]
[Upon consume by other people, at host's will, the blood will seep into their cells, transforming their innate potentials tremendously.]
[Danger! Host is adviced to dilute a single drop of blood with other liquid agent to reduce its lethal potency!]
These were the results from his identify ability and because of that, he decided to put a single drop of blood into each of these four small bottles.
”Eh? I've also heard about this mysterious blood pool from my grandfather. Supposedly it could really help in tempering the physical body. But I thought that was only just a rumor because no one could actually find it?” Shen Murong spoke out, a little bit unconvinced.
”No, it is definitely real! My sources told me that the academy has some sort of a secret organization that was able to go in and out of the Eternal maze safely, and the blood pool was located somewhere inside there!” Shen Lu replied as he held one of the small bottle with sparkling eyes.
”The Eternal maze? You mean THAT one underground? Impossible! I personally knew some of the old folks from my clan with heaven-defying abilities that went in and never came out again! How could this rumor be true then if no one was able to make it out alive?” Shen Murong refuted.
”T-this..” Shen Lu has no way of replying to Shen Murong's statement. While the rumor regarding the blood pool and secret organization that he got was definitely reliable, the fact that people on the level of nascent soul realm that had entered and never came back was also true as well!
This was something that had always poke at his mind whenever he thought about it.
Which one was actually the truth?
At this sight, Duan Li turned his head towards Xiahou Yu and the latter nodded. However, Duan Li was still conflicted whether he should tell them the truth or not.
Thus, he reached out for the blue jade slip inside his spatial ring and contacted the principal by sending a voice message through it.
”Principal, my followers wanted to know about the Eternal maze.” Duan Li spoke out to the blue jade slip before injecting some spiritual Qi into it to send the message away.
”Eh? You have the Principal's personal contact?” the three fellas was shocked by this, excluding Xiahou Yu.
One has to know that the principal was someone at the very top of the power chain within the academy!
To think that Duan Li could ask something out so casually to the other party, just what sort of relationship do they have?
Not long after that, the principal replied with a short ”Ok.”
Somehow, Duan Li was quite annoyed with this short reply.
”T-that was really the voice of the principal's! How was this possible!” exclaimed Shen Lu, utterly surprised.
Such crucial information, and he has no way of knowing it? There must be a high star ranked Strategist that intervened with the information network inside the academy!
Was it the vice-principal?!
”Eh.. me and Xiahou Yu are a little bit close with the principal somehow..” Duan Li replied as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Even Xiahou Yu has a connection with the principal?!
The trio looked at Xiahou Yu with deep gazes that caused the latter's face to flush red from being stared as such.
”A-Anyway! The most important thing is, I could now tell you guys about the truth regarding the Eternal maze!” Duan Li said hurriedly.
”The truth regarding the Eternal maze? What do you mean?” Shen Murong asked curiously.
”It's actually like this...” Duan Li began to explained out everything that he knew so far.
...
”W-What? So it was actually like that? No wonder!!” Shen Lu exclaimed out in disbelief.
”En! Now all those rumors made perfect sense to me if it were like that after all!” Shen Murong added.
”To think that only weaker people could go in... but why does this has to be a secret and not made public?” Wang Xiolun asked out, as both Shen Lu and Shen Murong nodded to express their sentiments regarding this secrecy too.
Hearing this, Duan Li shook his head as he could only answer out truthfully.
”You guys are underestimating the Eternal maze! It was because the maze was still extremely dangerous, even for me! And I'm not trying to brag, but even with my capabilities, I had still needed to struggle with all of my might!”
”The reason why the both of you hadn't been able to see me around during the past three days, was because I had to recuperate from a severe injuries after exploring the first region!” explained Duan Li with a deep sigh.
Listening to this explanation, the trio cupped their chin each as they contemplated. It didn't took them long to nod as a sign that they had accepted Duan Li's explanation.
It makes sense.
After all, they had all witnessed Duan Li's might back then during the battle with Shen Murong. If even he had struggled inside the Eternal maze with such a battle prowess, it was needless to say if it were anyone else.
