"Ding! Alerting the host, the First-Class Famous General Card Pack will randomly select three heroes for the host, and the host has a high probability of successfully summoning these heroes!"
"Ding! Does the host wish to open?"
"Open!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted the First-Class Famous General Card Pack!"
"Ding! Opening successful!"
The First-Class Famous General Card Pack was enveloped in golden light, then vanished. In Yang Hao's mind, three figures instantly materialized. Each figure held a weapon, and since they had not been summoned into existence, all were gray, making it difficult to discern their appearances.
"Ding! Does the host wish to draw? Alerting the host, the host has a high probability of successfully summoning these heroes!"
"Draw!"
"Ding! Opening successful!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning Gongsun Zan from the First-Class Famous General Card Pack!"
Gongsun Zan!
Yang Hao watched the figure gradually emit light. He did not know the names of the other two, and his emotions were not significantly stirred.
Gongsun Zan!
Drove out barbarian rebels from the frontier, defeated the Yellow Turban rebels at Mengjin!
Especially his most elite cavalry unit – the White Horse Virtuous Troop, whose army's oath of loyalty echoed through the ages: "Where righteousness leads, life and death follow! Heaven bears witness, the white horse testifies!"
"Open Xu Huang's data!"
"Name: Gongsun Zan"
"Courtesy Name: Bogui"
"Dynasty: Late Eastern Han"
"Cultivation: Three layers of Sky Fusion"
"Cultivation Technique: Oath Flame Burning Scripture"
"Troop Type: Top-tier troop – Thirty thousand White Horse Virtuous Troop."
Experience: A military general and warlord of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the warlords of that era.
Gongsun Zan was born into nobility, but due to his mother's low status, he only served as a minor official in the commandery. His handsome appearance, resonant voice, and eloquent speech earned him the appreciation of the Prefect of Zhuo Commandery.
He gradually rose to the rank of Zhonglang General, confronting northern nomadic peoples with a resolute attitude. He fought bravely and his might shook the border regions.
Gongsun Zan was warlike and clashed with his superior Liu Yu, who advocated for a policy of appeasement towards the barbarians. Their conflict intensified. In the fourth year of the Chuping era, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and coerced imperial envoys, obtaining authorization to govern the four northern prefectures, becoming one of the most powerful warlords in the north.
Gongsun Zan repeatedly fought against Yuan Shao. He initially held the advantage, but after the Battle of Longcou, his momentum waned. He adopted a defensive strategy, gradually losing the trust of his subordinates, and was defeated by Yuan Shao.
He was eventually trapped in a high tower and died by self-immolation.
"Not bad!"
Yang Hao looked at Gongsun Zan's data. The card packs he had obtained all contained heroes from the late Eastern Han period. The Vermillion Bird Legion's combat power would greatly increase with more generals. It was time to further refine the legion's system.
...
In the middle realm of the Imperial Dynasty.
Everyone had entered the Blood Refining Pool for seven days. Excluding Xu Chu, who had been restless, the blood refining pools of the other seven individuals were almost depleted.
"Gurgle, gurgle~~"
Suddenly, all eight blood pools surged again. The seven blood refining pools, which were on the verge of depletion, churned once more. Drops of blood seeped into everyone's skin, eroding their bones. It felt like a thousand insects biting, and they all gritted their teeth.
"Om~!~"
At this moment, the entire blood refining cave began to shake. Xi Thirteen stood up in panic. Compared to seven days ago, Xi Thirteen's cultivation realm had surprisingly reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Sovereign realm, his mouth still stuffed with pills.
"Boom!!"
After a moment, the primal energy within Ying Yu's body first erupted, like a volcanic explosion, surging outwards without restraint, wave after wave engulfing the entire blood refining pool.
"This..."
Xi Thirteen looked at Ying Yu in disbelief. His primal energy was now boundless, and he naturally couldn't discern Ying Yu's true cultivation realm.
Ying Yu felt as if he had been reborn. A vast ocean of blood surged within him, and his cultivation realm directly entered the pinnacle of the Sky Fusion realm. He instantly broke through the barrier of the Sky Fusion realm, entering the fourth layer of the Heaven Transformation realm almost as a matter of course!
"Hah!"
Just as he stabilized his realm, Yan Hai, not far from him, suddenly erupted. His lifespan, which was nearing its end, surged again. His skin became like a baby's, and his white hair gradually turned black.
"Heaven Transformation Sixth Layer!!"
Ying Yu's eyes were filled with shock. Yan Hai, who was originally at the eighth layer of the Sky Fusion realm, had directly reached the sixth layer of the Heaven Transformation realm after the baptism of the blood refining pool.
Almost simultaneously, the blood refining pools of Fan Zichen, Elder Xue, and Elder Yue exploded like thunder. Streams of blood poured down like waterfalls.
The auras of the three soared directly to the eighth layer of the Heaven Transformation realm!
Fan Zichen sat cross-legged in the blood refining pool, his eyes filled with disappointment: "A pity!"
"Alas!"
Elder Xue and Elder Yue also sighed. From the blood refining pool alone, the three had only absorbed less than two-thirds of the essence blood each. One reason was that their physical bodies could not bear more; the other was that the primal energy was too dense, and they couldn't absorb and transform it in time, leading to some loss.
"That's!!"
Everyone was instantly drawn to Li Bai and Wang Yue. In their blood pools, the issue of overflowing blood energy still existed, but what surprised everyone was that the lost primal energy was all gathered above their heads.
Like countless vortices, they drew in all the lost primal energy and blood essence, pouring down on them as if receiving a divine infusion!
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
An immense aura of primal energy instantly dispersed, and the entire blood refining cave seemed to be swept by a storm. Streams of primal energy surged outwards from their bodies, and their primal energy realms instantly shattered. Under everyone's gaze, their cultivation rapidly soared!
First, Li Bai's cultivation reached the pinnacle of Sky Fusion, leveling with Wang Yue. Then, as if by agreement, they both instantly broke through the barrier of the Sky Fusion realm!
Heaven Transformation First Layer!
Heaven Transformation Second Layer!
Heaven Transformation Third Layer!
Everyone watched their realm skyrocket and gasped in unison. This was truly absorbing the essence of the blood refining pool without losing a single drop of blood energy, refining it all into themselves!
Gradually, the expressions of Ying Yu, Elder Xue, and Elder Yue turned grim. If they continued to improve at this rate, what would happen? Su Dan Novel Network.
In just a few breaths, their cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Heaven Transformation realm. At this moment, the primal energy within their bodies surged in and out, and they were both sweating profusely. This turbulent primal energy, for some unknown reason, was rampaging within their bodies!
"Suppress!"
They both roared, and the surrounding dense blood energy and primal energy were directly locked into their bodies. The entire blood refining pool was almost instantly dried up!
"Bang!"
"Crack crack!!"
Crisp sounds like shattering glass emanated from within their bodies. Yang Hao, who was far away in Chang'an City of the Great Han, instantly stood up.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, heroes Wang Yue and Li Bai have successfully entered the Half-step Peerless realm, their cultivation reaching the Sky-reaching First Layer!"
Sky-reaching First Layer!!!
Yang Hao's eyes widened.
