Chen Qi did not hesitate, he consumed the Blood Crystal.
In an instant, Chen Qi felt his blood turning ice cold, as if he were ten thousand meters under the sea in a frigid area, even his breathing became erratic as he gasped for air.
Chen Qi clenched his teeth tightly and, within his bedroom, used the Fire Casting Skill, treating his own body as a piece of fine iron, constantly refining it with fierce fire.
The mixture of cold and heat exploded in his body, continuously battering his muscles and bones, time and time again—
Chen Qi felt as though he stood atop a mountain of magma, then was continuously battered by the cold torrents of a waterfall.
At this moment, if the Flower Witch were beside him, she would notice not only did his physique seem stronger, but his body also emitted a sharp, blade-like energy—
He didn't know how much time had passed, Chen Qi felt his Blade Breathing Technique, Qi Power Transformation, Steel Qi, and Blade Casting and Body Refining Technique merging together, ultimately reaching a culmination—
[Your Blade Casting and Body Refining Technique has reached MAX, you have forged your body into a blade, and have gained the Blood Blade Body!!]
Chen Qi opened his eyes and at first glance, there seemed to be no change to his body, just that his eyes had become even more murderous.
However, his body was now surrounded by a red mist, which, from a distance, looked like malicious spirits.
Even a long sword forged from steel, upon contact with this aura, would be bisected.
However, Chen Qi let out a breath, his Qi Power had reached its culmination.
[Blood Blade Body:
Description: In legend, there was a swordsman, his body as sharp as a blade, able to transform Qi Power into a blade, cutting through all things; now, you have forged your body into a blade.
Effects:
Blood Blade Qi (Passive): Based on your physique, your Defense has greatly increased, all your Qi Power attacks are enhanced by 30%, and carry a vibrant blade power! You gain a slight Blade Phase insight!
Blood Blade Will (Passive): When you receive severe damage, you'll be immune to pain, and your body gains a temporary 150% increase in strength!]
Blood Blade Body...Chen Qi took a deep breath.
The enhancement of Blood Blade Body was extremely perverse, as a passive and although no direct attributes were added, fundamentally, it was a complete augmentation of Qi Power!
Qi Power augmentation, also a necessary part of a Third Rank Transcendent.
Now, he also seemed to have mastered one of the secrets of the Blood Blade Pirate Group.
"Awesome!"
Chen Qi suddenly released a fierce Qi, pouring out from his body, like a blood-red broadsword, directly painting more than a dozen bright red scars on the walls of the room.

This power was already quite formidable, and the walls of the Ghost ship were reinforced by the Blood Blade Pirate Group using good materials.
This room, would need to be cleaned by the Water Elf again...Chen Qi took a deep breath and reigned in the fierce blade energy.
Chen Qi felt his body had ascended to a new level.
Looking at the time, with the boost from the Golden Apple, to raise Blade Casting and Body Refining Technique to full level had only taken half a day.
This speed was much faster than he had imagined.
Following that, Chen Qi took out the writhing shadows and the recent Shadow Oil.
The resources of the Sea of Calamity were richer than he had imagined, greatly speeding up his training.
At the same time, the Golden Apple also provided him with increased burning resistance, making it easier to master Dark Flame Fist.
According to this process, by the next night, he might be able to master the Third Rank Dark Flame Fist.
Chen Qi applied the Shadow Oil to his fists, then used 5000 inspiration points to upgrade to Lv2, feeling a flood of profound knowledge.
[Your Dark Flame Fist has upgraded to Lv2, you gain Dark Flame Attachment.
Dark Flame Attachment: You can ignite your Qi Power and turn it into "Dark Flame Injury," which possesses a defense-breaking effect.]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chen Qi immediately began practicing Dark Flame Fist Lv2, throwing punch after punch.
Unconsciously, with three thousand punches thrown, he perfected the skill level of Dark Flame Fist.
[You have fully mastered Dark Flame Fist Lv2, 'Dark Flame Injury' increased in power.]
Indeed, with burning resistance, mastering Dark Flame Fist was exceptionally easy...Chen Qi did not hesitate, and again used 10,000 inspiration points to upgrade Dark Flame Fist to Lv3.
[Your Dark Flame Fist has upgraded to Lv3, Dark Flame Injury power enhanced, defense-breaking effect increased, and Dark Flame Injury will now burn, making it difficult to extinguish.]
Chen Qi was drenched in sweat, opened the window, the sky had already seen a hint of a dusky glow.
Now, he had fully mastered the use of Dark Flame Fist, able to use tentacles, delivering punches with immense power.
Also, he could rely on the attached Qi Power Dark Flame to cause high enemy defense reduction effects.
Chen Qi could distinctly feel that he had become stronger.
A wave of overwhelming fatigue came over him.
"But, it's still not enough, tonight, I can break through even more..."
Chen Qi shook his head, thinking that his goal, after all, was to ascend to Legend status, and the next time he saw Fen, he wanted to possess the strength to pin Fen to the ground and grind him down.
Finally, relying on his willpower and the energy provided by the Golden Apple, Chen Qi prepared to perfect his Dark Flame Fist training.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was another few thousand plain punches in practice.
Unknowingly, the sky had turned pitch black, and the sinister red moonlight spilled down once again.
"Sigh..."
Chen Qi stopped practicing his punches.
He could now feel that he had completely mastered the Dark Flame Fist.
However, strangely, Chen Qi unexpectedly found that the "Dark Flame Attachment" of the Dark Flame Fist could form a curious linkage with his Shadow Charm, Shadow Armor, Dark Flame Fist, Shadow Step Technique, and Qi Power Transformation, Blade Breathing Technique—
"I seem to have mastered something odd..."
After carefully sensing for a moment, Chen Qi noticed that as night fell, the Shadow Oil on his fist became violent, and the Qi Power in his body also became agitated.
With just a little of something special to ignite it, he would bloom into a new posture.
[Your proficiency in Dark Flame Fist is maxed out, gain a 2-point strength boost, acquire burning resistance, your current burning resistance level is high.]
[You have comprehended Shadow Release. Shadow of Flame Demon Lv1!]
Shadow of Flame Demon... Chen Qi looked at the enhancement in front of him, bewildered.
Having completely mastered the Dark Flame Fist, being able to master a new release was something Chen Qi had anticipated.
After all, the Dark Flame Fist was also a high-rank attack skill of the B-grade rift!
Normally, when the Dark Flame Fist reached its complete form, what should have been mastered was the Flame Demon Avatar.
The Flame Demon Avatar could transform Qi Power into a Flame Demon and was a very powerful skill.
Shadow of Flame Demon...
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment; due to the skills he possessed, the release he comprehended seemed like an entirely new special release.
Chen Qi clicked to check.
[Shadow Release. Shadow of Flame Demon Lv1
Attributes: Blade, Shadow
Description: Rage, get angry, go mad, let us become the calamity, slaying all enemies in the night!!
Activation condition: Sufficiently low sanity and enough negative emotions or battle desire.
Effects:
Passive: After activation, will rapidly continue to reduce sanity, covering the whole body, transforming oneself into a terrifying, insane Shadow of Flame Demon!
In the state of the Shadow of Flame Demon, physique, strength, agility increase by 200%! Qi Power strength increases by 100%!!
After activation, you will clear all negative BUFFs on yourself and will not be subjected to any spirit control!
Also, you can easily convert your negative emotions into more potent Dark Flames to aid your Qi Power techniques.
Note: Once the release is triggered, you will enter a frenzy state, sanity will rapidly drop to below zero in ten seconds, and the body will be dominated by massive negative emotions, turning into a destructive monster of the dark night.
Note: Daylight and exhaustion can stop your frenzied state.]
This... Chen Qi looked at the new Shadow Release he had mastered.
After using the Flame Demon Avatar, the body would ignite, providing about a 100% boost to strength, physique, and agility.
Yet the Shadow of Flame Demon was 200%, which startled Chen Qi.
However, its negative conditions were also greatly enhanced.
Originally, the negative effect of the Flame Demon Avatar was the continuous deduction of sanity, but this negative effect could be closed voluntarily.
But this Shadow of Flame Demon, from the description, seemed to have no normal way to shut it down.
Once activated, it could only rely on the body's physical depletion and daylight, or subjugation by others.
Complete demonization!
"Quite a pure Shadow Release..."
Chen Qi couldn't help but reflect.
Typically, such releases are powerful but also have a very high fatality rate.
However, this also raised a question for him.
His Lamp Keeper's talent allowed him to lock in a safety value in the dark and not drop any further.
So, between his Lamp Keeper's talent and the madness of this Shadow of Flame Demon, which had a higher priority?
