Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Melting Furnace Third Transformation, Preparing for the Next Comprehensive Evolution

Hong Kong Island University, Beast Taming Academy.

On a patch of grass in the simulated rainforest.

A half-meter-long, imposing giant cockroach was siphoning the Qi Blood of a Fourth-Grade Early Stage Giant Rhinoceros.

So, here’s the question.

Cockroaches don’t have a proboscis for sucking blood like mosquitoes, so how could it be siphoning Qi Blood?

Simple!

If you don’t have one, you make one!

Chu Sheng had already considered this when he built the “New Roach Battle Treasure.”

Chu Sheng had modified the interior of the New Roach Battle Treasure’s two “Double Ponytail Antennae” to function like straws, with their tips fitted with tiny, soft, needle-like points.

This way, the New Roach Battle Treasure could use its antennae to suck blood and deliver it to Chu Sheng in the cockpit.

It could even suck with both antennae at once—a double siphon!

Right now, inside the cockpit, Chu Sheng’s stomach was bulging. He had been drinking his fill all afternoon.

By absorbing and digesting simultaneously, his Qi Blood Value had shot up from 7,186 to 8,987 in just a single afternoon.

His Evolution Points had also increased by a full 380.

He was just one gulp away from his Qi Blood Value reaching 9,000 and achieving the Melting Furnace Third Transformation realm!

Normally, after a Martial Artist enters the Qi Blood Melting Furnace realm, they need to continuously compress, forge, and refine the Qi Blood in their body.

The main purpose is to eliminate impurities from the Qi Blood, making it purer and more substantial.

This is why the Qi Blood Melting Furnace is such a crucial transitional realm, and the most important stage in advancing from the Low Grade Realm to the Middle-Grade Realm!

Moving from the Low Grade Realm to the Middle-Grade Realm could be described as a leap in one’s level of life!

However, Chu Sheng didn’t need to do any of that.

The Qi Blood he absorbed through the Soul-devouring Demon Spike was already purified by the Soul-devouring Nether Flame, making it incredibly pure and condensed.

In other words, all Chu Sheng had to do was keep sucking.

There was another point.

What was refinement? It was a Martial Artist using their own spiritual will as a hammer to temper their Qi Blood.

Normally, without comprehending a Realm, it’s impossible to refine one’s Qi Blood to a state of perfection.

Therefore, only by comprehending at least one Realm to the stage of Perfection could a Martial Artist truly break through to the Fourth-Grade Realm.

But Chu Sheng didn’t need to refine his at all.

This was why he could break through continuously just by accumulating Qi Blood, without needing to rely on a Realm.

However, although Chu Sheng didn’t need Realms to level up, comprehending them offered numerous benefits, such as greatly increasing his combat power.

His deficiency in the comprehension of Realms was a problem Chu Sheng was currently eager to solve!

…

Back in the cockpit of the New Roach Battle Treasure, Chu Sheng glanced at his Qi Blood Value.

’Since I’m so close to 9,000,’ he thought, ’I’ll just… have one more gulp!’

[Ding! Host has absorbed 29 points of Qi Blood. Current Total Qi Blood is 9,016.]

[Estimated digestion time: 10 minutes. Estimated gain upon completion: 6 Evolution Points.]

BOOM!

In that instant, Chu Sheng felt the Qi Blood in his body explode, every single drop bursting with immense Energy.

All that Energy intertwined and collided, continuously shattering, reforming, and fusing!

This process lasted for a full half-hour!

His blood, like a furious, roaming dragon, roared and surged through his body.

With each circulation, the power contained within his blood grew more terrifying. Even the color of the blood itself was changing, shifting from bright red to a dark gold that shimmered with a metallic luster!

A powerful aura erupted from within Chu Sheng.

At that moment, all the Third-Grade and even Fourth-Grade Demon Beast “underlings” around Chu Sheng sensed it. Shock and fear filled their eyes!

Melting Furnace Third Transformation, achieved!

’Awesome!’

Chu Sheng felt that his current combat power could even rival a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage Cultivator. It was a whole order of magnitude higher than before!

He had thought it would take more time to advance to the Third Transformation, but he’d broken through on his very first day on Hong Kong Island.

He opened his data panel:

[Host: Chu Sheng]

[Race: Soul-devouring Nether Mosquito]

[Lifespan: 100 years]

[Bloodline: High-Level (One Star)]

[Qi Blood: 9,016 (Melting Furnace Third Transformation)]

[Spirit: 1,500 (Second-Grade Middle Stage)]

[Evolution Points: 1,142]

[Earth Realm: Entry (350/500)]

[Water Realm: Entry (210/500)]

[Note: The next full evolution requires reaching a Qi Blood Value of 10,000 (Fourth-Grade Early Stage), 2,000 Mental Power, and consuming 2,000 Evolution Points!]

[Note: Reaching Great Success (2,000 points) in any Realm allows for a minor, direction-specific evolution!]

Looking at the data panel, Chu Sheng began to analyze it:

’As my Qi Blood Realm rose to the Melting Furnace Third Transformation, my Mental Power also increased naturally by 45 points, bringing it to 1,500.’

’Right now, for the next full evolution, I’m about 1,000 Qi Blood Value short, and about 500 Spiritual Points short. As for Evolution Points, I’m also lacking about 1,000.’

’Qi Blood Value is easy. I can suck my fill here at the Beast Taming Academy; 1,000 points is just half a day’s work.’

’Evolution Points are a bit trickier.’

’There are four ways to get Evolution Points: one, by digesting absorbed Qi Blood; two, by converting the Life Essence absorbed from Spirit Herbs and Elixirs; three, by killing enemies of a higher rank; four, the feedback from Gu Yuexi’s Qi Blood Realm advancements.’

’I still need 1,000 Evolution Points. If I rely solely on absorbing and digesting blood, I’d need to suck five or six thousand, maybe even more, Qi Blood. The amount of Qi Blood isn’t the problem; the issue is that digestion takes a bit too long.’

’That leaves the other three methods:’

’Kill higher-ranked enemies? Who would I kill… I don’t have any particularly good targets right now.’

’Feedback from Gu Yuexi? That woman is probably focused on raising her Mental Power right now. Her Qi Blood Realm isn’t going to advance anytime soon.’

’Which means the only option left is… absorbing Spirit Herbs and Elixirs.’

’Hong Kong Island Academy is huge. It must have a Spirit Medicine Plantation, right?’

’If not, one of the Ten Great Clans of Hong Kong Island is bound to have one.’

’Okay, that’s the plan!’

’I’ll get some Evolution Points from digesting Qi Blood, and for the rest, I’ll find a Spirit Medicine Plantation and start sucking!’

’Now for the last thing I’m short on: Spiritual Points.’

’In any other place, this would be genuinely difficult to get.’

’Mental Power is ethereal and intangible, much harder to absorb than Qi Blood.’

’My Soul-devouring Demon Spike can absorb Mental Power, but it has to be solidified, or at least semi-solidified, Mental Power.’

’Before coming to Hong Kong Island, I’d only ever absorbed some semi-solidified Mental Power from a Spiritual Crystal and a bit of solidified Mental Power that condensed after a Spiritual Mind Master died.’

’Other than that, my Mental Power has basically grown through the natural increase that comes with raising my Qi Blood Realm.’

But here on Hong Kong Island, it’s a different story!

’Hong Kong Island itself is a paradise for Spiritual Cultivation. Almost all the Cultivators here walk the path of Spiritual Cultivation.’

’Take Hong Kong Island University, for example. The students I saw on the way here all had faint halos lingering between their eyebrows, more or less. And that is the sign of semi-solidified Mental Power!’

’Many of them have even fully solidified their Mental Power, the most obvious sign being the tiny runes or faint specks of light on their foreheads.’

’Of course, this solidification doesn’t necessarily manifest between the eyebrows.’

’So…’

’This Hong Kong Island University isn’t just full of walking blood bags, it’s also full of “Mental Power refill packs”!’
