“I’ve talked about the shortcomings of divine blood in class before. Do you still remember what they were?” Shen Yanhu looked at Chu Lingjun and suddenly smiled as he began to test the child.

Chu Lingjun recalled the learnings and replied.

“First, divine blood warriors don’t live long. Most of them die when they’re in their forties or fifties.

“Second, when a divine blood practitioner meets the master of the divine blood, they will be suppressed by their bloodline. They may even be controlled by the master and become his puppet.

“Third, the fusion of the divine blood is an uncomfortable one. It produces a lot of pain, and there is a low chance of success. Once the fusion fails, it will lead to death.”

Shen Yanhu nodded in satisfaction.

“The most important thing to note here is actually the first point. Most people don’t live long after consuming divine blood.

“For example, I’m already in my thirties. If I consume divine blood, I can probably live for another ten years or so.

“The essence of divine blood is to burn the user’s life and potential through external power!

“Here comes the problem. If I’m already about to die, or if I’m seriously ill, or if I don’t have any potential, how much do you think my strength can increase after I take the divine blood?

“The power obtained from the divine blood is proportional to the life force you burn and your cultivation potential.

“If you’re already about to die, consuming the divine blood will only accelerate your death!”

Chu Lingjun came to a sudden realization!

“Remember, every power comes with a price. Only what you cultivate will belong to you!

“You’ll only be able to increase your strength in a short period of time after becoming a divine blood warrior… But it also means that you won’t be able to advance any further!

“Because your cultivation potential, talent, and life force have all been ignited in advance in a way that helps you grow. Unlike blood divine warriors!” Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

He learned that this so-called divine blood acted like a loan shark. It would give you a large sum of money in a short period of time, but this money was exchanged for your future!

There was another important detail to take note of.

Whether it was a fighter or an esper, the higher the grade, the stronger they would be.

That meant that if one wanted to increase their strength by consuming divine blood, the price they would have to pay would be even greater!

For example, Zhang Liang had advanced from Early Stage Rank One to Late Stage Rank One after consuming the divine blood.

However, when it came to the Wild Wave Company and the others, they were Rank Two and Rank Three martial artists. At this time, the price needed to advance by a small level far exceeded Zhang Liangs!

This was also the reason why their strength did not increase much after consuming the divine blood!

Of course, he also had to take into account that they were much older and their cultivation talent was of an average level.

Their past battles must have left many internal injuries on their body, which reduced the effect of the divine blood.

Chu Lingjun also understood why the martial arts system and esper system in human society had not been destroyed by the divine blood of the alien races.

Even if it was easy to obtain power from divine blood, they would suffer many consequences!

Chu Lingjun realized that he was too naive.

Anyone who had great ambition for the future would not choose to consume divine blood.

An old man who was also on the verge of death would not use it either.

Children who were still young and had not fully developed their bones would not use it.

Consuming it in advance was useless and consuming it later would only make them a puppet for the mutated beast!

Shen Yanhu looked at Chu Lingjun’s reaction.

“Do you know about the Chan City incident that happened twenty years ago?”

“What about the Chan City incident?” Chu Lingjun revealed a reminiscing expression.

“Long ago, an ancient ferocious beast named Taotie led an army of hundred thousand weeping monsters to attack Chan City. Chan City defended themselves for three nights and almost fell on the last day!

“Just as the millions of soldiers and civilians of Chan City were about to fall, reinforcements from the provincial capital finally arrived. A large number of Grandmasters descended from the sky and successfully defended the city.

“There was a big reason why the city almost fell that day…

“That’s because Taotie managed to controll all the divine blood warriors in the city and launched indiscriminate suicide attacks on the warriors and soldiers guarding the city wall!

“All the divine blood warriors turned into puppets. They looked desperate, had tears running down their cheeks, and screamed for help as they murdered their comrades. Their bodies moved like robots as they plummeted through the city.

Chu Lingjun’s eyes widened, and his back was covered in cold sweat!

Consuming divine blood was like attaching a ticking time bomb onto yourself!

Shen Yanhu was very satisfied with Chu Lingjun’s reaction. In the future, this student would probably be extremely afraid of the divine blood.

“It is also because of this that the number of divine blood warriors has been greatly reduced. Only those who are desperate and have no way out will choose this path.”

On the third day of the attack, the attack outside of Quicksand Town was weakening.. However, the battle in Lan City had become more intense!
