The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

"You really provoked him."

Zhou Ming was standing at the second-floor window when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Fifth Brother, you walk so silently, it's really scary," Zhou Ming said, letting out a breath.

Wang Wu glanced at Zhou Ming and said, "No matter how scary it is, it's not as scary as you reaching the third level of Iron Shirt in just three months."

"Things have been a bit unsettled lately, so try not to go out unless necessary, and be careful when you are out." After saying this, Wang Wu turned and left.

"Not peaceful?" Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling even more anxious.

“I remember it was August 13, but that’s when the fighting started in Shanghai. I don’t remember the specifics of the July 7 Incident, but it was clearly something that happened on July 7,” Zhou Ming thought to himself.

It's July 2nd now, five days to go.

"If I still can't complete the Blood Fiend Talisman by July 5th at the latest, then I'll have no choice but to kill people." Zhou Ming made up his mind in his heart.

After getting off work, Zhou Ming returned to his dormitory, sat cross-legged on his bed, and immediately began practicing the Blood Fiend Talisman.

The Qi, wisps and strands, blended with the blood and Qi, and combined with the concentration of the mind, transformed into strands as fine as silk threads.

The controlled blood energy threads began to outline a rune according to the inheritance.

More and more Qi is drawn and merged with the Qi and blood in the body, melting and refining into Blood Qi Threads, which continuously fill the framework of the runes.

The three-dimensional rune gradually took shape, looking like a demon head with bared fangs, but upon closer inspection, it also resembled the character for blood.

In the past, this process was either prone to errors or insufficient blood and qi supply.

But today, my Iron Shirt cultivation has broken through to the third level, which has greatly enhanced the quality of my Qi and blood, making it much easier to supply.

Zhou Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed he would be able to successfully cultivate tonight.

When the last stroke is completed, the rune becomes a whole.

A crimson light suddenly erupted, and Zhou Ming's mind merged into it, making it the foundation of the Blood Demon Curse.

A crimson aura erupted from the talisman, and Zhou Ming opened his eyes, instantly enveloped in a crimson light.

“The bloodthirsty aura similar to the golden light can only be called the power of blood now,” Zhou Ming said, looking at the blood light.

This bloodthirsty power is similar to golden light; it can enhance the body's defense, acting as a barrier to block attacks.

The most crucial aspect is still refining one's qi and blood, and enhancing physical and mental cultivation.

However, it currently only has blood and no evil energy, so it only has the ability to temper the body and blood, but not the effect of tempering the spirit and cultivation.

"To have a murderous aura, you need to kill people." Zhou Ming glanced at his watch; it was a little past 11, just before midnight.

She stood up and found a plain, unremarkable black outfit in the closet.

After changing into black clothes, putting on a homemade black mask, and tying a black headscarf, he was hard to spot in the darkness.

He opened the window, looked around, then flipped himself up and easily climbed onto the roof.

Supporting himself, he made his way towards Hongkou.

With the blessing of this Qi, Zhou Ming moved very fast.

As soon as he entered the streets of Hongkou, Zhou Ming crouched down on the rooftop of a building and immediately spotted three staggering figures on the dimly lit street.

The song, clearly sung in a Japanese accent, came from the mouths of the three drunkards.

At this time, only a few bars remained on the street, their lights still dimly lit. Fortunately, the moon was beautiful tonight.

"A Japanese ronin?" Zhou Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

The so-called Japanese ronin who appeared in Hongkou during this period were actually partly Japanese soldiers in disguise and partly members of organized crime groups.

When the war begins, these people will immediately become soldiers.

“Three people should be enough to try out the first few spells.” Zhou Ming stared at the three people, slowly got up, and followed them.

Once they were out of the izakaya's lights and in a secluded alley, Zhou Ming quickened his pace.

He quickly reached out and pointed forward three times, and the crimson light transformed into three long, needle-like sharp points that flew out.

In an instant, it pierced through the heads of these three people, leaving a hole in their foreheads from which blood and whitish brain matter flowed out.

The three of them stopped at the same time, their bodies, which had lost control of their brains, swayed wildly in response to the stimulation.

It immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Chapter 10 The Power and Evil of the Blood Demon Curse

A dark figure darted over quickly, grabbed the three people with both hands, lifted them up, and then gently placed them on the ground.

The dark figure was Zhou Ming, who quickly arranged the three corpses.

Before their souls had completely dissipated after their deaths, a thick, bloody light enveloped their corpses.

The Blood Fiend Talisman in his mind flickered with light, its gaping maw seemingly swallowing and spitting out blood.

The vital energy, life force, and even the souls of the three corpses were extracted.

The strands merged together, following the blood-red light and being devoured by the Blood Fiend Talisman.

It took a full ten minutes to completely devour them, leaving behind three dried-up skeletons.

Zhou Ming frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the speed, but he knew that now was not the time to waste time here.

A ball of flame appeared in his right palm, and he slammed it down.

Flames, like a semi-circular vortex, enveloped the three skeletons.

A moment later, he burned them to ashes, cleaned up the traces, and then Zhou Ming flew away.

Back in his dorm room, Zhou Ming closed the windows. He immediately took off his clothes and put them in the closet.

Eager to get back to bed, Zhou Ming sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

After glancing at the one transparent and three opaque orbs of light, Zhou Ming focused his perception on the Blood Fiend Rune.

After absorbing the three materials, the Blood Fiend Rune underwent a significant change.

Three identical, but smaller, runes were evolved and floated below the original Blood Fiend rune.

These smaller blood-fiend runes are the key to the Blood Demon Curse's ability to kill and become stronger.

Each additional one of them amplifies all the abilities of the Blood Demon Spell System and serves as material for spell training.

Zhou Ming looked at the largest Blood Fiend Talisman, which could also be called the Origin Talisman, the source of everything.

Compared to the original gentle blood power, the blood-fiend energy that has now been fused with malevolent energy is more aggressive and dangerous.

"The recovery speed of my Blood Fiend Power has increased significantly, by about 30%." Zhou Ming sensed the changes within himself.

"But the changes in intensity and other aspects only increased slightly, by 1%?"

The enhancements in this area are small, but comprehensive.

Not only the strength of the bloodthirsty power, but also the physical strength, cultivation speed, and even the talent were enhanced by 1%.

With almost no concentration required, wisps of blood energy and vital energy, guided by the primordial talisman, were melting and refining traces of bloodthirsty energy.

Almost simultaneously, a burning sensation came from his lower dantian.

The wisps of bloodthirsty energy were burned through, turning from blackish-red to dark red, as if they had been filtered.

Not only that, a bead resembling a crystal pearl also appeared, and an invisible flame appeared below the primordial runes, continuously burning all the runes.

The dark red blood energy was burned and turned into a deeper red.

Zhou Ming began to communicate with the power of blood and evil, experiencing its cultivation effects.

The moment we communicated, my blood and energy seemed to enter a peculiar state, as if they were boiling.

The Qi seemed to heat up, forcibly integrating into the body.

Perhaps because it was his first time practicing, the effect was excellent, and Zhou Ming felt that his body had been greatly strengthened.

In addition to changes in physical condition, there are also changes in mental state.

With his mind highly focused and his courage at its peak, he unleashed a tremendous ferocity that ultimately transformed into murderous intent.

During this process, Zhou Ming's spirit was uplifted.

After cultivating for a short while, Zhou Ming quickly exited this state.

"Damn! This is really some kind of weird and crooked method." Zhou Ming felt a toothache; no wonder this technique could kill or drive people mad.

It is indeed worthy of being a tradition among the barbarian tribes during the Western Han Dynasty.

Even in the Central Plains during that period, many bloody traditions still remained, and the era of the Six Heavens' ancient energy still existed, let alone the traditions of these barbarians.

It was truly bloody and eerie.

"Depleting one's own vital energy and primordial qi in this way, without killing others to compensate, is simply a dead end, unless there are a large number of rare and precious medicinal materials in this area." Zhou Ming shook his head slightly.

Looking down at the three evolved blood-fiend talismans, Zhou Ming began to recall his inheritance.

"Besides the core inheritance of the Blood Demon Curse, there are also two major and five minor spells, totaling seven types," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

Of course, in the tradition it is called witchcraft, because the cultivation of each spell requires the corresponding blood curse talisman as the core material.

The two major spells are Blood Fiend Blade and Blood Fiend Ghost, but even the Blood Fiend Blade requires 13 talismans as basic materials, while the Blood Fiend Ghost requires 108 talismans.

Neither of these spells can be cultivated in the short term.

Zhou Ming focused his main energy on five minor spells: Blood Demon Dog, Blood Bird Spell, Reverse Blood Explosion Spell, Blood Demon Soldier, and Blood Demon Four Fiends.

Among these, the Four Blood Demons require four talismans to cultivate, while the other four spells only require one talisman.

However, the Bloodhound and Blood Bird spells require dogs and birds as materials, which are currently unavailable.

Blood Demon Soldiers are a means of creating demonic weapons, requiring living people as materials, and there is currently no way to cultivate them.

The only technique one can cultivate is the Reverse Blood Explosion Technique.

Following the cultivation method, Zhou Ming began to draw upon a Blood Fiend Talisman.

It flew to the heart and entered the heart along with the blood and qi.

The Blood Fiend Talisman continuously dispersed into strands of blood, flowing along the blood vessels and into the heart, like a network of threads.

Ultimately, they are built into a whole, which is good because it adds a second set of supporting structures to the heart.
