Chapter 161: Brave Stinging Heart
“Resentment Gathering is a technique of the Other World soul pets, and is a special technique of young master’s White Nightmare. It seems that even other White Nightmares do not have it. The chances that your Mo Ye could learn that technique are nigh impossible.”
“But, there are still a few techniques that are similar to Resentment Gathering. For example, the bug type Brave Stinging Heart is a technique that could slowly increase one’s strength in battle.” Old Li said
“Elaborate a little.” Chu Mu immediately said.
“Brave Stinging Heart is an advanced bug type technique. A bug type soul pets’ life force is incredibly resilient, but their fighting strength is inferior to beast type soul pets. They often suffered defeats in the beginnings of battle. If this bug type soul pet had Brave Stinging Heart, then when it gets hurt, its fighting strength won’t fall, but instead increase. If some powerful bug type soul pet had Brave Stinging Heart and continued to fight, its fighting strength could increase an entire phase.” Old Li said.
Chu Mu’s eyes brightened. This Brave Stinging Heart technique would be invaluable to Zhan Ye. After all, the fifth phase Zhan Ye’s fighting strength was even worse than some strengthened fourth phase commander ranks. If it met a real expert, without the power to back it up, Zhan Ye couldn’t possibly display his true advantage.
“Then, how does one obtain this Brave Stinging Heart?” Chu Mu asked.
“The main ingredient, Hibernating Heart, we already have. There’s a few more that young master should be able to gather.” Old Li said, “First, bug type blood is needed. There needs to be a large amount of bug blood to steep and bathe the Hibernating Heart. Since this is the Hibernating heart of a Heavenly Devil Insect, using the blood of Heavenly Blood Insects is recommended.” Old Li said.
“How much?” Chu Mu asked.
“About ten compressed blood bottles.” Old Li said.
“Ten compressed blood bottles?”
“It’s technical jargon, ask that girl with pretty legs- it isn’t too much.” Old Li said.
Hearing Old Li mention pretty legs, Chu Mu specially glanced at Ye Qingzi’s slender long legs. His gaze lingered for a while before looking at the face of Ye Qingzi, who was still trying to make Ice Soul Grass.
“Ye…… Oh, Qingzi, how much Heavenly Devil Insects’ blood is ten compressed blood bottles?” Chu Mu asked.
Ye Qingzi turned her head around and thought for a while before responding, “At least a thousand sixth rank and above commander rank Heavenly Devil Insects’ blood is needed to extract enough. What’s wrong?”
“……” Chu Mu had nothing to say, staring evilly at Old LI.
A thousand sixth phase Heavenly Devil Insects’ blood, and he said “it isn’t too much”?
In Chu Mu’s half devil state, he had casted the strongest ninth rank Heavenly Flame Rite, and he had only killed a thousand Heavenly Devil Insects averaging low phases and ranks. These compressed blood bottles required a thousand sixth phase and above commander rank Heavenly Devil Insects. That was enough to create a blood pool!
“Low rank Heavenly Devil Insects’ blood are also useable, but the amount of blood extractable is just even less.” Ye Qingzi added.
Ye Qingzi looked questioningly at the strange combination of master and servant and asked, puzzled. “What, can Heavenly Devil Insect blood cure your high temperature soul?”
“It’s actually this. I got a Hibernating Heart and want to combine it into a Brave Stinging Heart, so I need this blood to wash and steep it.” Chu Mu said.
“Oh, I can help you with the blood extraction, but the source of blood you’ll have to figure out……” Ye Qingzi said.
“That won’t be an issue. Chu Mu nodded. Heavenly Devil Insects were one of the largest species of bug types, more than big enough for Chu Mu to slaughter.
“I think Ice Soul Grass is still quite difficult for me to concoct, and I don’t have any material at hand anymore. Your high soul temperature won’t damage your soul, right?” Ye Qingzi asked.
When Chu Mu blacked out and Ye Qingzi went to cure him, she had noticed Chu Mu’s excessively heated soul, so she had started to lower Chu Mu’s temperature.
Yet, Chu Mu’s high soul temperature was very strange. No matter what ice type or water type technique that she tried, it was useless. Only when Old Li suddenly talked and told her how to lower Chu Mu’s heat did it work.
Yet, Chu Mu’s soul temperature had only dropped slightly, and she hadn’t truly lowered the temperature completely. She was afraid that Chu Mu, under this situation, couldn’t cast any soul techniques and may even affect his soul pets through soul burning.
“It’s an old wound, it’s no big hindrance.” Chu Mu said.
This time, Chu Mu didn’t stay in half devil for as long, so the side effects weren’t nearly as bad as last time, and Ye Qingzi had also helped him control the temperature in time.
Of course, Chu Mu knew that this half devil transformation had caused his soul wounds to become greater. When the frightening mind-losing phenomenon would’ve happened in two years, this time probably accelerated the process by half a year. Chu Mu had to find some other soul item like the cold pond water to lower his soul heat, or else the next time he turned half-devil, his soul would completely collapse.
The effects of the ice soul grass was basically to alleviate Chu Mu’s high temperature situation. It was probably able to make Chu Mu back to his previous state before using the half devil state this time.
