“If I detonate the mark now… Under such unguarded circumstances, they will definitely be severely injured by me!” Xiao Shi made a judgment in his heart. “Other than detonating, I can also use the mark to improve them.”

Xiao Shi tried activating the imprint.

Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan were drinking happily. Suddenly, they froze.

“Junior Brother Xiao, can your wine… still increase my blood and qi? Why do I feel that… my blood and qi are more abundant than usual?” Yang Zhen looked at Xiao Shi in confusion.

“Me too!” Wang Changhuan was also shocked.

“I don’t know… I’m drinking too. Why didn’t I improve?”

Xiao Shi looked at the two of them in confusion. However, he had a rough understanding of the direction in which the blood qi mark could improve.

The Blood Qi Mark was different from the previous metal mark. If it was a metal mark, Xiao Shi felt that their bodies might temporarily be metalized. On the other hand, the improvement brought about by the blood qi mark was reflected in the blood and qi aspect.

In order to avoid making too much noise, Xiao Shi only activated a small portion of the mark. If he activated the entire mark, their blood and qi would reach an even more astonishing level!

Other than that, Xiao Shi also made an unexpected discovery. After he left a mark on the two of them, he realized that he had a special feeling. Xiao Shi closed his eyes while the two of them were focused on the increase in their blood and qi.

Through the control of the mark, he directly sensed their every move in his mind. Their figures appeared in his mind. Even with his eyes closed, he could see every move they made.

“There’s actually such an effect!”

Xiao Shi was pleasantly surprised. He found an excuse to leave and went to a place far away from the two of them. He realized that even from a distance, he could still sense their location and see their actions in his mind.

“As expected of a Heaven-rank secret technique! This is too powerful!” Xiao Shi exclaimed in his heart.

He did not expect that apart from improving and detonating, the mark also had another function.

Sensory Tracking!

Moreover, it was a rather powerful sensory tracking. However, Xiao Shi felt that there should be a distance limit for this sensory tracking. He was prepared to test the limit of the sensory range first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi kept walking away. When he was about three miles away from Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan, he could no longer sense them.

“The maximum distance is three miles. If it’s beyond three miles, I won’t be able to sense it.”

Xiao Shi understood.

This distance was not far. But it was enough to assassinate them. However, if he wanted to leave an undetectable mark on the enemy’s body, he could only leave a Blood Qi mark.

There were disadvantages to using one’s own qi and blood to form a mark. It would continuously consume Xiao Shi’s blood and qi. Every time Xiao Shi formed a Blood Qi Mark, his own Qi and blood would decrease by a portion.

Once too many Blood Qi Marks were formed, it was very likely that his cultivation would decrease because of the huge reduction in blood and qi.

In addition, the mark had a certain time limit. Even if it was not activated, it could only last for a day at most. It would not last forever. If it was activated, the duration would be even shorter.

As long as the time was up, the mark would dissipate.

Although there were some small flaws, it did not affect the strength of this secret technique. And with this powerful Heaven Rank secret technique, Xiao Shi had a certain level of confidence in the upcoming night patrol mission.

Unfortunately, there were no more prisoners to kill in the prison.

The rest of the prisoners were in the hands of the night patrollers who had captured them. Coincidentally, those night patrollers were still out on missions and could not get the right to deal with them.

It was the last night before the mission.

The night patrollers in their respective rooms seized the last moment to cultivate the Night Tiger, hoping to cultivate it at the last moment.

Xiao Shi was also immersed in Night Tiger’s cultivation. But unlike other night patrollers, what he cultivated was the even more difficult second level of the Night Tiger.

“I hope I can cultivate the second level of Night Tiger today!”

Xiao Shi’s expression was serious. He performed the Night Tiger’s unique Heavenly Cycle over and over again. Regardless of whether it was the Night Tiger or the Red Tiger Technique, there was a certain requirement for one’s aptitude. The higher one’s aptitude was, the faster one would cultivate.

However, the difficulty of Night Tiger’s cultivation meant that even with Xiao Shi’s high aptitude, he could not be fast. Or from another perspective, his current cultivation speed was already very fast compared to others.

“Unless my aptitude can be raised to a higher level!”

Xiao Shi felt that if he could still drop pills that could increase his aptitude, through the accumulation of such pills, his cultivation would definitely be faster in the future. However, when it came to Martial Entry-Level kills, it was very difficult to kill large groups of them every day like killing Piebald Worms.

Shaking his head, Xiao Shi stopped thinking about it and focused on cultivating Night Tiger.

The night passed quickly.

As morning arrived, no matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to stop cultivating. They all walked out of the room. It was drizzling in the sky and everyone was wearing bamboo hats. Most of the faces under the bamboo hats were solemn.

Due to Night Tiger’s difficulty, none of them had successfully cultivated it. Even the fastest among them still needed one to two nights to cultivate the Night Tiger. This made their hearts feel heavy. They could only hope that they would not receive too difficult missions next.

When everyone gathered, the narrow-eyed captain of Team D appeared in front of everyone with his usual smile. After looking around at everyone, he spoke. “Today is the day you officially begin your night patrol mission. At the same time, it will determine if you are qualified to take on the role of night patroller.

“As long as you successfully complete the mission, you will receive the corresponding contribution points. Contribution points will be the key to whether you can become inner sect disciples in three years. Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I’ll start issuing missions to you now.”

As the captain spoke, everyone became nervous. None of them wanted to accept the most difficult mission.

The captain took out his identity token and operated it before looking up. “Alright, the missions have been assigned. You only need to use the identity token in your hands to check your respective missions.”

As soon as the captain finished speaking, everyone took out their identity tokens and checked.

Xiao Shi was no exception. He immediately took out his token and checked the mission.
