"This one free attribute point should go towards improving basic defense. It's incredibly precious since right now, each point is equivalent to 2,500 points of Spiritual Qi."

Wang Wu naturally allocated it, not giving it much thought.

However, what he never expected was that the attribute point allocation, which used to be as casual as drinking cold water, turned out to be completely different this time.

He even felt as if he had pressed a nuclear explosion switch!

A massive mushroom cloud seemed to explode and rise within his body.

First, his heart suddenly accelerated, pounding like a great drum, followed by his blood racing so fast it turned crimson, and his vision blurred as his eyes filled with blood.

His entire skeletal structure emitted creaking sounds, and a pain that seemed to pierce his soul erupted in his marrow and flesh.

Wang Wu couldn't help but roar in agony. He truly couldn't have foreseen this, thinking it was just about raising his basic defense to 61 points, while at 60 points, everything seemed fine, but this time felt like he had stepped through the gates of hell.

He even found himself unable to stand, slumping to the ground, his pain curling him up like a shrimp.

And this state showed no signs of easing; he began bleeding from his seven orifices, and his skin also started to bleed, even cracking, turning the ground blood-red.

He truly had no idea what was happening.

The only thing he could do was fight with all his might to regain control of his body.

How would he regain control?

Of course, through the Inner Breathing Technique.

He was thankful he had previously elevated Passive Concealment to Level 15, which made his Inner Breathing Technique more proficient and powerful. This wasn't a cultivation technique but rather seemed to be an innate instinct of his bloodline, not needed in ordinary times but playing a vital role in critical moments.

But such reclamation was still extraordinarily difficult, as if there were a hundred mudslides rushing within him, pushing him to the brink of collapse at any moment.

Yet in the end, he endured. His previous intense training not only strengthened his will but also finally brought his physical prowess up to par.

Gradually, he actually managed to slowly regain control of his body.

Then,

He fully activated the Inner Breathing Technique, using his heartbeat as an anchor, bit by bit streamlining the raging torrents within, gradually consolidating that terrifying energy into its rightful places.

The process was remarkably wondrous,

For instance, at that moment, Wang Wu felt his entire vitality transform from hundreds of mudflows into tens of thousands of tiny streams, then continuously circulated and cycled, one loop after another, until finally in a clear and precise manner injecting into his entire skeleton.

Even without any hints, he could feel his entire skeleton becoming more robust, tougher, heavier, like metal.

Indeed, it was very clear.

Wang Wu now even had a feeling that he could forcibly withstand the lifebound sword of that middle-aged cultivator with his body.

Simply because his bones had hardened, strengthened, and enlarged.

When this state gradually ceased, Wang Wu returned to his initial form. His physique had not visibly changed much, but he felt an extraordinary sensation as if he could transform into a copper wall, iron wall at any moment.

And as two lines of information silently floated up, all doubts were dispelled.

"Because your basic defense has surpassed a certain limit, and your Bloodline Evolution Level has reached and exceeded 35%, you have successfully awakened the corresponding Bloodline Secret Technique—Copper Head Iron Bone!"

"Note: Bloodline Secret Techniques are the lowest tier of Bloodline Divine Techniques, theoretically capable of continuous enhancement."

[Copper Head Iron Bone: Level 1, when sensing an irresistible powerful attack, it can be instantly and actively triggered, providing up to 300 points of physical damage immunity per second for the next three seconds. This effect can stack with Basic Defense.]

"Goodness, so that's how it is!"

Wang Wu's eyes lit up. His first thought was of the Snake Demon Hei Youliang's secret technique—Snake's Kiss, which undeniably was a Bloodline Secret Technique.

Then he immediately thought of Old Niu.

"Old Niu must also have mastered a Bloodline Secret Technique, so his basic power isn't as much as I imagined, not really 80 points. The reason he seems so formidable is likely due to activating a Bloodline Secret Technique, so in actuality, his basic power should be between 61 to 63 points, and at most, it doesn't exceed 65 points."

"Because the further one progresses, the greater the cultivation difficulty. In this respect, apart from having an additional attribute bar and a different bloodline, everything else is the same for me."

"Additionally, this time my basic defense increased to 61, awakening a defense-type Bloodline Secret Technique. If it were power, surely there would be a power-type Bloodline Secret Technique."

"There must also be an agility-type Bloodline Secret Technique, even a life-type and physical-type Bloodline Secret Technique."

"Unfortunately, the amount of Spiritual Qi needed for this is an astronomical figure."

Wang Wu shook his head. Now, without Ninth-Grade Food, his satiety was also empty, although his Vitality was still full. Naturally, he wouldn't continue his frenzied training.

Moreover, it was finally time to utilize the Spiritual Essence Gourd.

He previously hadn't used the Spiritual Essence Gourd for a reason.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are over 50,000 points of Spiritual Qi in the gourd, but being limited by his Spiritual Essence Level, he could only absorb a maximum of 400 points at a time.

Beyond that, he couldn't extract more.

Therefore, he prioritized upgrading Passive Concealment, Self-Healing, and Danger Perception.
