Chapter 1700 Experiencing death“His body can’t keep up?” Song Shuhang looked at the magical medicine that Scarlet Pupil had drunk.

After spewing blood, Scarlet Pupil sat on the ground with a pale face. He stretched out his hand, slowly took out a handkerchief, and began to wipe the blood off of his mouth.

With how smooth his actions are, this kid must have already spewed blood many times, right? Song Shuhang couldn’t help but picture the cyclical scene of Scarlet Pupil practicing and spewing blood.

This kid, his level of diligence truly makes people’s hearts ache.

Song Shuhang sighed lightly, slowly descending from the air to Scarlet Pupil’s side.

He didn’t show himself right away, but reached out and held the bottle of the magic medicine, and cast the secret appraisal technique on the medicine inside.

Song Shuhang’s clone far away in the Scarlet Dragon Cave trembled slightly, paying the price of blood for the appraisal.

[Magical Medicine of the Black Dragon World’s Dragon Blood Clan: Dragon Beast Medicine. It enhances the user’s physique, calms their emotions, and has the effect of stimulating their dragon blood.]

It was medicine similar to the body tempering liquid and the qi and blood pills. Moreover, it even had the effect of stimulating the bloodline power of those from the Dragon Blood Clan.

Reasonably speaking, even if it couldn’t replace the body tempering liquid or qi and blood pills, it shouldn’t cause Scarlet Pupil to spew blood out from practicing, right?

“Why can’t his body keep up?” Song Shuhang looked at the weak Scarlet Pupil curiously.

“I’m not too sure. I was simply looking at the boy’s posture when he was spewing blood, and came to the conclusion that his body can’t keep up. He’s forcing himself to practice the basic fist technique, and that’s causing him physical harm,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword replied. “There’s a chance it could be because he can’t absorb the magical medicine.”

“Let’s heal him first.” Song Shuhang’s figure took form, and appeared beside Scarlet Pupil.

“Eh? Mister, you’re here.” Scarlet Pupil smiled happily when he saw Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang smiled and nodded, and then said to Fairy Creation, “Fairy Creation, I will be troubling you.”

He was currently in the primordial soul state. Without the ‘Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure’, he wasn’t able to use any healing techniques.

Fairy Creation appeared, then reached out, and laid her hand on Scarlet Pupil’s body to use a standard healing technique of the scholarly faction.

Some color slowly returned to Scarlet Pupil’s pale face… but that was it. The healing technique performed by Fairy Creation wasn’t that effective.

Upon seeing this, Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and laid it on Scarlet Pupil, using the secret appraisal technique.

[Scarlet Pupil: Nine years old, a hybrid between a member of the Dragon Blood Clan and a human. Because of his special physique, the efficiency of his absorption of magical medicine is very poor. Due to physical reasons, his reception of healing techniques is extremely poor.]

“…” Song Shuhang.

As Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword described, his absorption of the magical medicine was poor, and so was his reception of healing techniques.

Was this a start at nightmare-level difficulty?

How were you even supposed to play?

“Scarlet Pupil, in the next few days, you should slow down with your practice,” Song Shuhang said after thinking about it.

Scarlet Pupil’s face changed greatly when he heard this. “Mister… I’m fine. Although I sometimes vomit blood, I feel that I’m becoming stronger. After practicing these two days, I’ve already mastered the first move of the basic fist technique! I will definitely be able to complete the whole set of fist techniques.”

He thought that Song Shuhang had given up on him, and panicked.

“No, I wasn’t giving up on you,” Song Shuhang said softly. “Your body’s absorption of magical medicine is very poor, and the same goes for healing techniques. If you continue to practice like this, your body won’t be able to handle it, and will collapse. Therefore, you should slow down in your practice until I find a way to solve this problem.”

When Scarlet Pupil heard this, he felt relieved. He said, “But mister, every time I vomit blood, I just need to sit and rest for a while, and I will recover. That’s why I don’t feel that there’s much of a problem.”

Also… Every time he vomited blood, he felt an inexplicable sensation, as if he was facing death.

The feeling that one step forward would lead him to his death felt very addicting, and he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to experience it.

While they were speaking, Song Shuhang sensed that the weakness in Scarlet Pupil’s body had faded, and his body quickly recovered. In the blink of an eye, it was back to how it originally was.

Scarlet Pupil stood up and jumped twice on the spot. “Look, Mister. I’m back to normal.”

“What special constitution is this?” Scarlet Heaven Sword asked in surprise.

Song Shuhang said, “I have appraised him several times, but I haven’t noticed him having any special constitution.”

Scarlet Pupil happily asked, “Mister, I want to take this opportunity to practice the ‘basic fist technique’ again. You can watch and see my progress from these past two days, how’s that?”

Song Shuhang thought for a while, and then said, “Okay. But be careful, and don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Yes, Mister,” Scarlet Pupil responded.

Afterward, he reassumed the opening stance and recited the chant to the basic fist technique. His thin body began to perform the basic fist technique.

Along with the fist chant, the spiritual energy between heaven and the earth was drawn, wrapping around his fists.

The first move, the second move, the third move…

When he was halfway through the third move, Scarlet Pupil couldn’t hold on any longer, and spewed blood, his body weakly falling to the ground.

He skillfully took out his handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Then, he turned his head expectantly and looked at Song Shuhang. He seemed to want to be praised… Or did he want an evaluation of his performance?

“…” Song Shuhang.

Which would be better to say?

“Clap clap~” At this moment, there was a sound of applause behind Song Shuhang.

Fairy Creation’s voice sounded. “Little guy, not bad.”

Song Shuhang turned his head in surprise, looking at Fairy Creation. She hadn’t spoken in a ‘singing’ manner just now.

Could this be Fairy Creation’s persona B?

Fairy Creation had two different personas.

Her persona A was her normal state, when she appeared like a scholarly beauty who couldn’t speak complete sentences or communicate normally. If she had anything to say, she could only do so by ‘singing’.

Fairy Creation in persona B was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, filled with aggressiveness. Besides that, her persona B was how she was during the days of the scholarly faction. In this state, she was knowledgeable and had her complete memories, and was possibly an expert at the Tribulation Transcender Realm.

The memories of her two personas were not shared. Fairy Creation in persona B could not retrieve the memories of her other persona.

Song Shuhang looked behind him, and sure enough, Fairy Creation’s eyebrows were filled with heroic spirit, and her eyes were as sharp as swords. When she spoke, her words were clear; it really was Fairy Creation B.

Song Shuhang asked, “Eh? Fairy Creation, how did this personality of yours come out?”

“It was stimulated by the outside world,” Fairy Creation replied.

Song Shuhang responded, “Stimulated by Scarlet Pupil?”

“Mm-hm.” Fairy Creation nodded slightly.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword thought, Fairy Creation in her persona B isn’t cute at all. Fairy Creation in persona A who only sings ‘A’Song~ Stupid~’ is a lot cuter. Also, she can even act out a performance with Fairy ＠＃％× in that state.

Fairy Creation then whispered, “He looks like an old friend of my teacher.”

“An old friend of the Sage?” Song Shuhang looked at Scarlet Pupil. This thin, black-skinned boy was similar to an old friend of the Sage?

Fairy Creation explained, “Not in appearance, but in aura… and a certain special talent. In that regard, they’re very similar.”

Aura and special talent?

Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “The Scholarly Sage also had friends who liked eating whole buckets of chicken wings?”

“…” Fairy Creation.

None of her teacher’s friends liked eating wing buckets; the one who liked such a thing was her.

“Could his talent be in seeking death? Could it be Senior Skylark?” Song Shuhang’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.

He thought of the beautiful fairy maiden with long blue hair.

The person who liked to seek death the most in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. In the entire universe at present, the most death-seeking existence was probably no other than Xuan Nu Sect’s Senior Skylark.

According to the current clues, Senior Skylark was probably the first love of the Scholarly Sage, as well as his guide and teacher on the path of cultivation.

She was a hidden expert in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Fairy Creation softly said, “Yes. Not only in his desire for death, but also his extraordinary talent in self-recovery. They all resemble Teacher’s old friend, that senior with long blue hair.”

Song Shuhang heard this, and his heart thumped.

The Golden Core Composition ‘The Once Absolute Voice of the Sage of Ancient Times’ had guided my primordial soul to come here and encounter Scarlet Pupil. I initially thought that it had something to do with my karma with ‘Black Pupil XIII’, but it seems that it’s possible that it has something to do with the ‘Scholarly Sage’.

If this matter truly was related to the ‘Scholarly Sage’, then the opportunity to light up the ‘Sage’s eye’ might lie in Scarlet Pupil.

Fairy Creation softly said, “However, although similar, he is ultimately not Teacher’s old friend.”

No matter how similar they were, nobody could replace Skylark.

As she spoke, she had already arrived in front of Scarlet Pupil.

Fairy Creation asked, “Little guy, do you have something you desire?”

“I want to be stronger and look for my big brother Black Pupil,” Scarlet Pupil said. After speaking, he thought about it, and added, “In addition, after thinking about it over several days… I still desire to die at least once. Although Mister’s illusion at the time gave me an immersive feeling, it was not my own death.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

This child was hopeless.

Fairy Creation said, “As you wish, little guy. Don’t regret it.”

After saying that, a long sword condensed in her hand. Right after, the sharp sword, which was condensed purely from spiritual energy, pierced straight through Scarlet Pupil’s chest.

“!!!” Song Shuhang.

Scarlet Heaven Sword exclaimed, “F*ck!”

The two of them had completely not expected this.

Moreover, Fairy Creation was too decisive in taking action, and did not give them the time to react at all. She took action as soon as she said she would, without any hesitation.

“Aaaah!” Scarlet Pupil let out a scream.

Fresh blood gushed out from his mouth, as well as from the wound on his chest. Blood poured out from him like it was being pumped out.

Fairy Creation calmly withdrew her sword. “Your wish has been fulfilled.”

“Aaah!” Scarlet Pupil could not even speak, and could only let out a cry of pain.

His eyes dimmed.

On this day, he really experienced death.
