Outside the classroom.
Su Yuan looked at the zombies that had already come before him, his eyes showing no fear.
Instead, there was a hint of excitement in them.
"Let's begin!"
Red bloodlines emerged from Su Yuan's body, wrapping around his limbs and face like threads.
The bloodlines tightened and solidified.
A set of blood-red armor, shimmering with a dark red luster, appeared on his body.
With a raise of his hand, a blood-red long sword slowly condensed.
The blade was sharp, cold light swirling around the tip.
Su Yuan swung the blade at the zombies in front of him.
The crimson crescent-shaped blade light, like cutting wheat, cleaved a large group of zombies in half.
A large number of zombies fell to the ground.
But compared to the fallen zombies, there were even more rushing towards him.
Just as he had killed one batch, the zombie tide had already filled the gap.
Su Yuan charged into the zombie horde, stepping on the pile of corpses.
Every swing brought forth a large swathe of blood.
The zombies fell under his attack, limbs and severed body parts flying everywhere.
The few people hiding in the classroom watched in horror.
Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
They had never seen someone so powerful, capable of slaughtering through so many zombies without showing any panic.
They all quickly covered their mouths, afraid of making any sound that might attract the zombies.
At the same time, they believed Bai Mu Ya Yi Zi's statement that Su Yuan was a cultivator.
After all, if he wasn't a cultivator, what else could he be?
Her eyes were fixed on Su Yuan, filled with admiration and fear.
藤之木宁音 opened her mouth, her voice slightly stunned, "He... He's like a war god."
The others nodded in agreement.
After about ten minutes.
The entire hallway of the teaching building was already piled high with zombie corpses.
A small number of living zombies were trapped under the corpse pile, unable to come out for a short time.
Su Yuan sat on the pile of corpses, not feeling disgusted. After removing his blood-red armor, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Whew~ So many zombies, enough for me to break through to Body Refinement Level 4, maybe even Body Refinement Level 5.
I wonder how many zombies there are left in the school, enough for me to break through to Body Refinement Level 6?"
Reaching Body Refinement Level 6 would qualify him to be an Inner Sect disciple.
Inner Sect disciples were the true disciples of the Nine Nether Sect, and they wouldn't have to participate in the killing every three years.
Su Yuan decided how he would break through to Body Refinement Level 6.
He would perform well in the grand competition,
and strive to become an Inner Sect disciple.
After a brief rest.
Su Yuan took a deep breath, activating the Blood Refining Art, refining the blood essence from the pile of corpses below him.
Countless bloodlines emanated from his body.
They spread out like spiderwebs into the mountain of corpses below.
These bloodlines, like living things, continuously extracted the blood essence from the corpse pile, forming a ball of red-brown mist.
The entire scene was extremely eerie, making one involuntarily think of scenes from horror movies.
At this time, Su Yuan was like an evil demon god, exuding an aura that made people's hearts tremble.
A few minutes later.
Su Yuan's entire body trembled violently, a powerful force exploding from within him.
At the same time, a thick stench of blood permeated the air, making people want to vomit.
Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
His originally clear eyes had become blood-red, completely devoid of whites and black pupils.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. He said, "Body Refinement Level 4!"
The system's prompt sounded at the right time.
【Host has broken through to Body Refinement Level 4, reaching the Body Refinement Mid-Stage, unlocking the corresponding spell for the Cultivation Technique: Blood Demon Fury.
Spells: Blood Demon Power, Blood Refining Art, effects upgraded.】
【Blood Demon Fury: Using Blood Demon Essence as the source of power.
Overall strength, speed, and agility are greatly enhanced.】
Feeling the surging power within him, Su Yuan was incredibly excited.
He hadn't expected that in just an hour and a half, he had broken through another realm.
This speed was simply beyond his imagination.
Looking at the mountains of corpses below, a hint of greed flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.
He muttered to himself, "I've only absorbed a quarter of the blood essence from these corpses. I should be able to break through two more realms."
After consolidating his realm a bit.
Su Yuan continued to absorb blood essence.
In almost the same amount of time.
Su Yuan's aura fluctuated again, successfully breaking through to Body Refinement Level 5.
"It's a pity."
Su Yuan looked down at the pile of zombies, the blood essence in it had been absorbed to a great extent.
The amount of blood essence needed for advancement was far greater than Su Yuan had anticipated.
The Blood Demon Body Refinement Art, this cultivation technique was also known as being powerful within the Nine Nether Sect.
The fact that each realm provided a staggering 10,000 jin of strength was enough to make countless people covet it.
But once you started practicing it, you would understand the pitfalls.
The amount of blood essence needed to advance each realm increased exponentially.
For example, Body Refinement Level 1 only needed the blood essence of one zombie, while Level 2 required ten, and Level 3 required a hundred.
And so on.
Body Refinement Level 9 needed the blood essence of ten million zombies.
The amount of blood essence needed was an astronomical number.
Many people who practiced the Blood Demon Body Refinement Art only reached Levels 4 or 5.
The reason was simple: they didn't have enough cultivation resources.
Now,
Su Yuan, who controlled a world full of zombies,
might become the second cultivator to reach Body Refinement Level 9 with the Blood Demon Body Refinement Art after the cultivator who created it.
Su Yuan walked off the pile of corpses.
The few women in the classroom had already come out.
Su Yuan said, "Let's go back to the infirmary."
...
On the other side.
On the roof of the school.
The male and female protagonists of the anime, "School Days," Komuro Takao and Miyamoto Rei, were leaning on the railing, checking the situation below.
Looking at the empty schoolyard, where no zombies had passed by for a long time, Komuro Takao said, "The zombies are all gone. They must have been lured away by the noise just now. Rei, let's go!"
Komuro Takao and Miyamoto Rei cautiously left the rooftop.
They carefully walked through the school grounds.
But they found that there were hardly any living zombies in the teaching building.
The corridor was filled with zombies whose heads had been smashed open.
The black and red blood flowed everywhere, making them feel sick.
They forced themselves to suppress their nausea, and after leaving the teaching building, they found that the entire school was eerily quiet.
Except for the motionless zombies lying on the ground, there was basically nothing else alive.
Just then, there was a noise behind them.
Miyamoto Rei turned her head to look.
"Tokishima Senpai?"
She realized it was Tokishima Saeko, who was covered in blood.
"It's Rei."
Tokishima Saeko recognized Miyamoto Rei as well.
"Are you okay, Tokishima Senpai? Why are you covered in blood?"
Miyamoto Rei was frightened.
"Rei, don't go near her. She might be infected."
Komuro Takao next to her subconsciously thought that Tokishima Saeko had been infected by a zombie.
He stepped in front of Miyamoto Rei, holding his baseball bat pointed at Tokishima Saeko.
Tokishima Saeko's eyes narrowed coldly.
The desire to kill in her heart rose.
But seeing Miyamoto Rei's slender figure, knowing that Su Yuan liked this type of girl, she might be recruited into his harem.
If she killed her friend, it would be awkward to meet again. Thinking about it, she didn't kill her.
She said, "Don't worry, I haven't been bitten.
If I had been bitten, would I still be here talking to you?"
"Follow me, I'll take you to a safe place."
Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takao looked at each other, and decided to follow her for now.
