Secret techniques belongs to a category in the Dou Technique branch, mainly involving temporary outbursts and overdrawing potential to enhance strength.
Lin Xiu currently does not possess this type of Dou Technique. This time, he took on the bee needle mission because he was interested in the mission rewards.
For others, Yellow Rank Low-Level secret Dou Techniques may not be useful, but Lin Xiu is different. He can continuously improve the level of the secret technique through fusion.
With the emergence of the Blood Ignition Technique, if he can successfully master it, completing the mission would be equivalent to possessing a Yellow Rank Mid-Level secret Dou Technique.
"Lin Xiu."
"Junior brother."
Xue Ni, Ke Lin, and others approached, and Lin Xiu put away the Blood Ignition Technique fragment in his hand.
"Hello." Nodding, Lin Xiu looked at Xue Ni in the crowd.
He had an impression of this woman. There was no way around it. She had a pair of ample breasts, very luxurious, coupled with slender waist and perky, round buttocks. It was hard not to be noticed with such a hot figure.
"Lin Xiu, Xiao Yu has been taken away. Hurry and save her." Xue Ni seemed to have grasped a lifesaving straw, completely forgetting that she had wanted to teach Lin Xiu a lesson before.
"She's really here?" Lin Xiu was startled, showing a puzzled expression. "Why would they take Xiao Yu?"
"I don't know." Xue Ni shook her head with teary eyes, and her chest swayed with the movement. She grabbed Lin Xiu's wrist. "Lin Xiu, please go and save her. Ke Lin is injured, and right now, you are the strongest here."
Lin Xiu hesitated. He was worried that if a situation like Xiao Mei's happened again, it would be disastrous.
Rescuing people is quite simple. As Academy classmates, he has the ability to help, which is not a problem. What he fears is getting involved in unnecessary trouble. The women from the Xiao family, for some reason have a high reputation in the Academy, attracting a lot of attention from the opposite sex.
Suddenly, from the distant hillside, the sound of a fight emerged, accompanied by roars. "It sounds a bit familiar, over there... Lin Dun is there!" Turning his head towards the source of the sound, Lin Xiu's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed towards that direction with all his strength.
On the other side, the man in a gray robe, carrying someone on his back, rushed up the slope and happened to see Lin Xiu charging towards his Big Brother. He didn't dare to linger, but after running a short distance, he was intercepted by a young man.
The man in the gray robe recognized him as someone who had been following Lin Xiu. Originally, the man in the gray robe didn't want to engage with him, but when Lin Dun saw him carrying an Academy classmate, he actively rushed over.
The power gap between the two was too significant. Although the man in the gray robe was carrying someone on his shoulder, he could still overpower Lin Dun in the fight.
Seeing the situation escalating, the man in the gray robe, after knocking Lin Dun away, chose to flee into the distance.
"Lin Dun, how are you?" After rushing up the slope, Lin Xiu saw Lin Dun lying on the ground. Lin Dun was holding his chest, and his face showed some pain.
"I'm temporarily not dead yet." Lin Dun smiled wryly. He had thought this guy was not very strong when he saw him Lin Xiu easily dealing with them before. Now he realized that Brother Xiu was just too formidable.
He raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "Brother Xiu, I delayed him for a while, and he went in that direction. He shouldn't have gone far. Hurry and go after him."
"Alright, be careful here on your own. A Senior Sister will come by later. I'll go help you get revenge."
After handing a healing potion to Lin Dun, Lin Xiu stood up. Swift as the wind, he quickly traversed the forest.
The man in the gray robe ahead heard the commotion behind him, sweat pouring down his face, looking extremely panicked.
Glancing back several times, he saw Lin Xiu getting closer and closer.
"Damn, how can this kid be so fast? Does he have no weaknesses?" The man in the gray robe felt like his lungs were about to explode. His breathing became more and more difficult, and his breath was unbearably scorching.
Running another seven or eight hundred meters and looking back again, the man in the gray robe saw Lin Xiu only thirty meters away, nearly tripping himself in fright.
"I'll give this woman back to you. Can you let me go?" The man in the gray robe's voice drifted with the wind.
"I can spare your life, but you have to answer a few questions for me." Lin Xiu gradually slowed down, keeping the distance within five meters, and stated his terms.
Perceiving this, the man in the gray robe also slowed down. He stood by a tree, leaning Xiao Yu against it.
"As long as it's a question I know the answer to, I'll definitely answer. Don't break your promise, or I'll force-feed her the poison." The man in the gray robe looked wary, his fingers holding a black pill near Xiao Yu's mouth.
If Lin Xiu made any unusual move, the man in the gray robe would not hesitate to force the pill into Xiao Yu's mouth.
However, Lin Xiu didn't even glance in Xiao Yu's direction. He stared straight at the man, saying, "Answer me, how can one obtain the Blood Sect's Blood Qi required for the Blood Ignition Technique?"
"You want to cultivate the Blood Ignition Technique?" The man in the gray robe was momentarily stunned, a bit slow to react. Was this guy really a student of Jia Nan Academy?
"Just answer my question honestly!" Lin Xiu's expression remained cold.
The man in the gray robe fell silent for a moment. "Actually, you already have the Blood Qi of the Blood Sect; you just don't know it."
"I have it?" Lin Xiu's eyes flickered, and a realization dawned. "You mean the blood poison?"
"Yes, only disciples who practice the Blood Clan's Qi Method can possess the Blood Qi. However, to make us willing to serve the Blood Clan, they choose outstanding individuals and implant a trace of Blood Qi into their bodies. This way, we can cultivate and use certain Blood Sect Dou Techniques."
It was evident that the man in the gray robe had a strong desire to survive. "When my Big Brother used the Blood Poison Palm on you earlier, he had already infused the Blood Qi of the Blood Clan into your body."
Blood Clan's Blood Qi is a special Dou Qi. For others, this Blood Qi is cold and considered blood poison, harmful to the body. However, for those who practice the Blood Clan's Qi Method and Dou Techniques, these blood toxins can actually enhance the power of their Dou Techniques.
"So that's how it is." After listening to the explanation, Lin Xiu nodded slightly, a pleased expression on his face. "As long as I can obtain virgin blood, I can cultivate the Blood Ignition Technique."
"I've answered your questions. Now, you take a step back one hundred paces; it's time for you to fulfill your promise." The man in the gray robe pointed at Lin Xiu, signaling him to step back.
However, Lin Xiu did not step back; instead, he advanced step by step, drawing a long sword from the Spatial Ring.
"What are you doing? Are you going back on your word? Stop right there! If you take one more step, I'll feed her the poison!
Holding Xiao Yu's neck, the man in the gray robe's fingers trembled as he pinched the pill.
"I'm sorry, actually, there are two people in this body of mine. The one before did promise not to kill you, but I didn't make such a promise." Lin Xiu felt that he wasn't exactly lying in this situation.
"You're playing tricks." The man in the gray robe widened his eyes, feeling greatly humiliated. How could there be two people in one body? Did he take him for a fool?
Seeing Lin Xiu approaching, he unhesitatingly forced the pill into Xiao Yu's mouth.
However, this didn't cause Lin Xiu to pause at all.
After all, he had chased after them more to inquire about the Blood Clan's Blood Qi and to avenge Lin Dun.
As for saving Xiao Yu, it depended on her fate. If a cure could be found, perhaps her life wasn't meant to end.
The next moment, Lin Xiu's long sword stabbed directly towards Xiao Yu, seemingly intending to pierce both of them together.
Terrified, the man in the gray robe dared not hide behind Xiao Yu. Just as he tried to dodge, he saw Lin Xiu's sword edge turn.
Swish, swish!
Two arms flew up, wounds bleeding profusely, and the man in the gray robe fell to the ground in pain.
"Hand over the antidote, and I can give you a quick death." Stepping on the man's chest, Lin Xiu looked down at him.
