Looking at this extremely domineering name, Qin Fang was filled with anticipation for this new skill, though unfortunately, he couldn't quite grasp much of it now.
However, to see any changes, he could only know for sure once it was put to use.
"Blood Explosion…"
Without any hesitation, Qin Fang silently recited the Blood Explosion Technique in his heart. Although this skill no longer existed, it could still be used.
Buzz~~
Almost simultaneously, Qin Fang noticed that the Demonic Divine Art in his skill list moved slightly, and its proficiency increased a bit, indicating it had been used.
This skill is still at the Beginner Level; every use allows for noticeable changes, making it more direct to observe.
Of course, once Qin Fang confirms the function of this new skill, he plans to use experience points to exchange for proficiency, upgrading it to an Advanced Skill. At that point, using skills won't result in such obvious proficiency growth.
"Strength has grown significantly…"
The Blood Explosion Technique was primarily for instantly enhancing combat power. Now that it's merged into the Demonic Divine Art, this effect remains, and Qin Fang can clearly feel the changes in his body, which are much stronger than before.
"Even… vaguely touching the threshold of the Grandmaster Level!"
The original Blood Explosion Technique could increase one's power by a quarter, essentially allowing Qin Fang's cultivation to advance by one level.
However, since Qin Fang's cultivation was already at the Master Level Peak, advancing another level means reaching the Grandmaster Level.
But the gap between Grandmaster Level and Master Level isn't just a simple number; although it can't be said to be tenfold exaggerated, it is still a significant gap.
So even with the Blood Explosion Technique, Qin Fang could at most elevate to an invincible degree below the Grandmaster Level, still unable to oppose a Grandmaster-level expert.
But now…
Using this brand-new Demonic Divine Art, Qin Fang feels as though he's vaguely touching the threshold of the Grandmaster Level, although not yet fully entering it, but the gap is noticeably smaller than before.
"Perhaps… when the Demonic Divine Art reaches Advanced or Master Level, I might truly be able to contend with Grandmaster-level experts!"
Such a discovery almost immediately sparked this thought in Qin Fang's mind.
For many martial artists, this thought might seem absurd, but Qin Fang knows it might not be impossible.
Of course, this is just how Qin Fang feels at the moment; the true combat power will only be clearer after actual use. For now, it's all speculation.
"The Life Points lost seem far less than before…"
Meanwhile, Qin Fang kept observing other changes, noticing the Life Points lost were much fewer than before, suggesting that the downside of the Blood Explosion Technique has been largely mitigated.
This drawback, although not particularly deadly for Qin Fang, could be concerning at times, as replenishing Life Points also takes a certain amount of time, and any errors could lead to unforeseen issues.
Now, with fewer Life Points lost, even using the Demonic Divine Art, Qin Fang's Life Points still retained almost half, significantly increasing safety compared to before.
"These changes are brought by the Blood Explosion Technique, what about the Blood Demon Secret Art then…"
Yet these changes seem to be all brought by the original Blood Explosion Technique, while Qin Fang also obtained the incomplete version of the Blood Demon Divine Art from the Blood Demon Sect. He was a bit puzzled about its changes since they weren't so obvious.
"Wait… the True Qi seems to have solidified a bit… and the amount of True Qi has increased by nearly half!"
But soon, Qin Fang noticed something different. In Qin Fang's character panel, aside from Life Points, Physical Strength Points, and Magic Power, the True Qi Points kept their divisions quite clear.
However, most of the time, Qin Fang only paid attention to his Life Points, almost neglecting the Magic Power and True Qi Points, and the Physical Strength Points could be replenished by eating a baozi, hence not much attention was paid. With careful inspection, he finally noticed some subtle changes…
The reserve of True Qi is a very important value for a martial artist, simply described as "deep martial power".
Take Shi Yuan Yilang and Cui Zhimin, although both ultimately died at the hands of Qin Fang, in terms of True Qi reserve, both were evidently much more profound than Qin Fang despite being at the same cultivation level, which is why they appeared so confident facing Qin Fang.
With deep martial power, one's confidence naturally increases, and this is the foundation accumulated over years of cultivation. If everyone at the same realm had equal strength, then experts like Fang Zonglin and Elder Mu, who are also at the Master Level Peak, wouldn't be any less significant than Shi Yuan.
"With so much more True Qi reserve, I should be not much worse than Shi Yuan back then!"
Qin Fang discovered that his True Qi reserve had increased by nearly half. Unlike the Blood Explosion Technique, the Demonic Divine Art has no time limit; once Qin Fang began its operation, it functioned on its own, with the True Qi reserve maintained at a constant level and even slightly increasing with each cycle of the Demonic Divine Art.
This is the benefit brought by top-tier internal cultivation methods, much superior to the internal cultivation technique of the Xingyi Fist that Qin Fang originally practiced.
Of course, the Demonic Divine Art is a new cultivation technique upgraded from the fusion of two fragmented techniques, seemingly stronger than the pure Coagulating Blood God Palm. However, compared to the Blood Demon Divine Art, which is stronger is unclear...
According to Qin Fang's estimate, if he continues his cultivation, he might not be much worse… and he received some hints that if he could find more fragments of the Demon Sect's techniques in the future, further fusion and upgrades might be possible, so the final outcome is really unknown.
"It seems in the future, dealing with masters from the Demon Sect won't be infrequent..."
Qin Fang certainly wouldn't miss such fusion and upgrade techniques, which means interaction with the Demon Sect is bound to happen, whether as friends or foes depends on the situation.
Every additional fragment of technique could enhance the power of his Demonic Divine Art. Qin Fang wondered if mastering all top-tier martial arts from the Demon Sect could upgrade his Demonic Divine Art to the Demon Sect's supreme martial art, the Heavenly Demon Strategy…
It is said that all of the top-tier martial arts of the Demon Sect derive from the Heavenly Demon Strategy… the truth is unknown now, but given Qin Fang's current situation, this possibility seems real.
The Demonic Divine Art currently doesn't show much variation apart from a significant increase in True Qi reserve. Other aspects will depend on the situation, so Qin Fang decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~
Staring at the two corpses on the ground, Qin Fang casually threw two fireballs, directly engulfing the corpses.
Two blazing flames erupted instantaneously, turning the bodies into ashes without leaving any bone fragments in a short time.
This showcases the power of Qin Fang's rare skill, the Fireball Technique. Although this skill isn't particularly effective against top-tier fighters, it's perfect for destroying evidence.
For this reason, Qin Fang deliberately spent a considerable amount of experience points to advance the Fireball Technique to an advanced level, keeping it ready for unforeseen circumstances.
Thus, this matter came to an end; Cui Zhimin and Shi Yuan disappeared completely, with no evidence left. Many might suspect Qin Fang's involvement, yet without any proof, they couldn't do anything to him.
At least on the Fu Family's territory, even a colossal family like the Cui Family dared not touch Qin Fang, especially since he didn't view anyone in the entire Cui Family as threatening other than the Family Head, Cui Haoyu.
Having acquired the Demonic Divine Art, Qin Fang's strength reached the threshold of a Grandmaster-level by continuously executing blood explosions, making it easy for him to crush experts below the Grandmaster level.
Even facing Grandmaster-level experts, Qin Fang now had the power to fight them directly, without constantly holding back.
For this reason, Qin Fang allocated the massive experience points gained from slaying two Master Level Peak experts to upgrading the proficiency of the Demonic Divine Art.
Qin Fang felt frustrated as the Demonic Divine Art, being a top-tier skill, had such an unfair conversion rate that it almost made Qin Fang abandon it.
The massive experience points gained from killing the two experts could upgrade an ordinary skill from the Beginner Level to Advanced, with proficiency beyond halfway.
However, when applied to the Demonic Divine Art, it only upgraded from Beginner Level to about seventy percent of Intermediate Level. Qin Fang hesitated; he still had a small reserve of experience points that could barely push the skill to Advanced...
But ultimately, Qin Fang chose not to do so immediately. He kept some experience points for emergencies, as using them all now would leave him unable to exchange for other items if needed later, which would be unwise.
"There's no immediate need, so I'll keep them for now..."
The Demonic Divine Art was upgraded to near Advanced status, and the True Qi amount was increased once again, almost doubling.
Qin Fang also felt that with continuous blood explosions, he had almost no significant gap compared to Grandmaster-level Initial Stage experts… With this in mind, Qin Fang's confidence was obviously stronger than before!
He even pondered that if Jin Haoyu himself came, Qin Fang might not fear him… despite Jin Haoyu having been in the Grandmaster level for a considerable time! (To be continued.
