Free Web NovelChapter 70: Chapter 70: Blood Drop
Night was falling.
The streets were nearly empty of pedestrians.
Lin Yu walked onward numbly, as if he had lost his soul.
His Martial Arts talent, once his greatest source of pride.
The bright future everyone praised him for.
And now, because of the Low Grade Blood Replenishing Soup, that future was in ruins.
’Even if I get better, what’s the use?’
’I’ll still be a cripple in the future—a piece of trash who can’t practice Martial Arts.’
His heart seethed with ever-growing rage.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a beast about to taste blood.
He wanted to vent, to crush this goddamn world.
Ever since he and his mother, Liu Hongmei, had married into the Lin Family.
His greatest daily pleasure had been grinding Lin Yi under his heel.
Making him submit, letting him be a plaything for his amusement.
He even looked forward to the day Lin Yi would have to work to support him.
Even so, if he managed to get into a Martial Arts University in the future...
...he had no intention of bringing a loser like Lin Yi to live in the New District with him.
He hadn’t even considered taking Lin Dazhi.
To him, whether it was Lin Dazhi or Lin Chuan...
...or even his own mother, Liu Hongmei, they were all just stepping stones.
Right now, he needed the support of money, so he’d let his whole family burn themselves out to fund his path in Martial Arts.
When his day came, he would soar to the heavens...
However, the dream was beautiful, but reality was harsh.
That day, Lin Yi had revealed his talent.
His 1-star realm was something Lin Yu could only dream of reaching.
Only then did he truly understand the gap between himself and Lin Yi.
It filled his heart with panic and anxiety.
His sense of pride vanished without a trace.
Later, at the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Yi became a rising star of Martial Arts.
Countless fellow students worshiped him.
Their admiration for him was about to surpass what they felt for Zhou Qi.
This dealt him another heavy blow. Fortunately, Lin Yi left the Lin Family.
At last, he could breathe again.
At least that eyesore was gone from his sight.
’From now on, as long as I work hard, I can definitely surpass Lin Yi.’
Who would have thought that the heavens would play such a cruel joke on him?
The Low Grade Blood Replenishing Soup had mercilessly stripped away his talent, sentencing him to death.
His talent was gone, his future cut short. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He even felt lost and uneasy about the rest of his life...
"C’mon, drink! Whoever the fuck doesn’t drink tonight, I’ll fuck ’em up... Drink..."
Suddenly, up ahead on the street, a drunkard staggered toward Lin Yu.
Between him and the drunkard, there was also a homeless man.
He was sleeping against a utility pole, covered with a padded jacket that hadn’t been washed in who knows how long.
As the drunkard got close to the homeless man,
THUD—he was tripped by something and fell.
"Fuck, who... who cheap-shotted me... who?"
The drunkard’s cursing woke the homeless man beside him.
The man quickly shifted aside.
But this very movement convinced the drunkard that he was the one who had tripped him.
Stumbling to his feet, he lurched over to the homeless man.
Swaying, he looked the man up and down. "Pah... You stinking beggar, you dare get in my way? Watch me beat you to death today..."
With that, the drunkard started kicking and punching, his blows raining down on the homeless man.
The homeless man didn’t shout or cry out, just sat there blocking the attacks with his arms.
Nevertheless, the fists and feet still landed mercilessly on his face and body...
He couldn’t dodge at all.
Right at that moment, a figure rapidly approached.
BANG—
A vicious kick slammed into the drunkard’s body.
It sent the drunkard sprawling to the ground.
He looked up in alarm, but when he saw that the person before him was just a student,
his fear dissipated. Cursing, he tried to get up again.
"You little bastard... you dare hit me? T-today, I’ll take care of you too..."
BANG—
Another kick sent the drunkard back to the ground.
This time, before the drunkard could get up, Lin Yu brandished a rock.
His eyes scarlet, he closed in on him.
The next moment, the rock fell mercilessly upon the drunkard’s head.
At first, screams could be heard.
But soon, the screams stopped abruptly as blood stained the ground crimson.
Lin Yu himself didn’t remember how many times he had smashed it down.
The drunkard’s head was shattered to pieces, his face a bloody, unrecognizable pulp.
Seeing this scene, he scrambled backward in fright.
The thick smell of blood in the air quickly calmed his panic.
Gradually, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he stood up.
This was the first time he had killed someone.
But he felt none of the usual after-effects of killing.
Instead, it made him extremely excited. He held out his blood-soaked fingers.
Then, he put them directly into his mouth and began to suck them.
He didn’t stop until he had licked all five fingers of his hand clean.
The smile on his face made him look increasingly crazed.
And all of this was witnessed by the homeless man.
He stared at Lin Yu with terror in his eyes.
The scene from tonight would be etched into his memory for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, Lin Yu turned his head, his bloodthirsty gaze landing on the homeless man.
In an instant, the homeless man’s body trembled.
A warm stream flowed out from between his legs.
Just like before, he only shifted his position. freёwebnoѵel.com
He made no move to run.
Not until Lin Yu was right in front of him, just as he had been with the drunkard.
The blood-covered rock smashed down on the homeless man once again.
This time, he smashed for a long while.
The expression on his face grew even more maniacal.
He only stopped his frenzied actions when his shoulder ached so much he could no longer lift his arm.
By then, the homeless man’s head had long been pulverized.
Yet Lin Yu felt no terror or disgust from the killing.
Just as he was about to continue licking the blood from his fingers,
he caught sight of a man in black across the street out of the corner of his eye.
The man was watching him with cold indifference.
Seeing this, Lin Yu, already in a killing frenzy, decided not to leave any witnesses.
He charged across the street.
But just as he got close, the man in black simply lifted a hand.
Lin Yu’s body flew backward through the air.
THUD—
With a heavy thud, Lin Yu crashed to the ground.
Only then did he snap out of his frenzied state.
He stared in terror at the man in black across from him.
He couldn’t see the man’s face at all; a hood hid it completely.
There was only a pitch-black void.
The next moment, the man in black flicked his wrist, and a black and red card landed in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu quickly picked it up and looked at it.
The front was black, with a design of a dagger dripping with blood.
On the back was a single drop of crimson blood, about to fall into a pool of gore.
And on either side of the drop were two words, seemingly written in blood: Blood Drop.
When Lin Yu looked up again, he was horrified to discover...
...that the man in black, at some unknown moment,
had appeared right in front of him.
As Lin Yu stared at him, the man in black spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Blood Drop welcomes you..."
