Master! "Ku Wei shouted as his body shrank to welcome Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded and looked at the giant. Chen Huang also looked at Lu Yin curiously. His expression was solemn and even a little surprised. "You have the same bloodline aura. Can you transform into a giant as well?"
On the way here, Ku Wei had told Lu Yin about this, and Lu Yin immediately understood. Back in Progenitor Chen's tomb, Lu Yin had absorbed Progenitor Chen's bloodline, and Ku Wei had also coincidentally absorbed a bit of Progenitor Chen's bloodline. The only difference was that Lu Yin's own bloodline had assimilated Progenitor Chen's bloodline, just like how he had absorbed the White Dragon Clan's bloodline.
"I can't transform," Lu Yin said.
Chen Huang was confused. "Why?"
Lu Yin thought about it. "Maybe it's because I haven't interacted with many giant bloodlines."
"Master, did you fall into that blood pool as well?" Ku Wei asked, as he did not know about this.
Lu Yin nodded and did not elaborate. He looked at Chen Huang. "Your surname is Chen. Are all giants surnamed Chen?"
"That's right."
Lu Yin understood. "That's why Xia Shang is also called Progenitor Chen. No wonder."
It was precisely because of his giant avatar that Progenitor Chen had been chased by the Daosource Sect and surrounded by various great powers. After he had reached the Progenitor realm, his giant avatar had left the deepest impression on everyone. Since all giants were surnamed Chen, the name Progenitor Chen had been born.
Qing Kong spoke up. "Alliance Master Lu, we invited you here to express our sincerity. We want you to know that whether it is now or in the future, the Giant Tribe will always be friendly to you. We hope that Alliance Master Lu will treat us the same."
Lu Yin nodded and smiled. "President Qing, you worry too much. If I cared about the Giant Tribe, I would not have kept Ku Wei by my side."
Ku Wei looked aggrieved, as he had thought the same at first. He had thought that Lu Yin had sent him to the Giant Financial Group because he knew that he could transform into a giant. However, when he contacted Lu Yin two days ago to specifically transform into a giant, Lu Yin's expression had told him that he had guessed wrong. Lu Yin had not known that he could transform into a giant at all.
Ku Wei felt aggrieved, as he had actually guessed wrong and revealed his greatest trump card.
"Alliance Master Lu, I have one more request," Chen Huang spoke up as he looked at Lu Yin and Ku Wei.
Lu Yin replied, "Please go ahead."
Chen Huang said solemnly, "My giant bloodline has actually been extinct since the ancient war with the Sixth Mainland. We perished together with Progenitor Chen, and we can only be considered to have borrowed our thin bloodline to get closer to the giant bloodline. There's still a fundamental difference. If we can obtain Progenitor Chen's bloodline, then we can truly become a giant, and we can truly grow infinitely."
"I'm ten thousand meters tall now, and that's our limit. Essentially, we can't break through, so I want to borrow the power of that person's blood."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Borrow?
How do I borrow it? "
"Give us his blood. The more the better," said Chen Huang.
When Ku Wei heard this, his face paled. "Impossible! How old am I? How much blood can I give you?"
Chen Huang hurriedly replied, "I don't need too much. Just give me one-tenth of your blood, and that should be enough. I'll break through my essence and truly approach the giant bloodline. As for the rest, we'll break through on our own."
"No, absolutely not. I'll take even a tenth," Ku Wei directly refused.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ku Wei.
When Ku Wei saw Lu Yin's gaze, his heart sank, and he grew anxious.
"Master, do you know how many giants there are?
There are more than a thousand of them, and each of them only has one-tenth of my blood. Master, I would've killed them long ago. "
Lu Yin smiled. "You can replenish your blood."
Lu Yin's smile caused Ku Wei to grow even more anxious. He understood Lu Yin well, and he knew that Lu Yin's smile meant that Lu Yin had his own thoughts. "Master, why should we help them? If we don't help them, then this disciple really can't give his blood."
Lu Yin looked at Chen Huang. "Did you hear that?
Although I'm working with the Giant Financial Group, it's only a partnership. I can't help you for no reason. If I give you my blood, it'll be easy for someone to die. "
"It'll definitely kill!" Ku Wei shouted.
Chen Huang fell silent, as he was not good at negotiations. Qing Kong asked, "Does Alliance Leader Lu have any conditions?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "How many giants are there?"
"1,152," Qing Kong replied.
Lu Yin thought about it. "Two hundred. If two hundred giants work for me, I can get Ku Wei to give you his blood."
Ku Wei wailed, "Master, I don't want that!" Lu Yin pressed down on his shoulder. "Shut up."
Ku Wei did not dare to speak, and he just looked at Lu Yin helplessly. If he had known that things would turn out this way, he would not have invited Lu Yin over.
Qing Kong looked at Chen Huang.
Chen Huang thought about it and then nodded. "It's time for our people to go out. Back then, the giants' bloodline shook the Sixth Mainland and slaughtered many of its cultivators. Today, that day has come again."
"Alliance Leader Lu, only a third of Brother Ku Wei's blood can be given each time. How about this? Let him stay in the Giant Financial Group so that we can take care of him," Qing Kong suggested.
Ku Wei's face paled, and he looked at Lu Yin pleadingly.
Lu Yin smiled. "President Qing, please arrange a secluded place for us so that we can discuss this."
Qing Kong nodded. "Alliance Leader Lu, please."
Lu Yin glanced at Chen Huang and then followed Qing Kong.
Chen Huang had been looking forward to this day, as the giants' bloodline would soon recover. They had long since wanted to go out and fight in outer space, as the giants were not suited for hiding.
The place that Qing Kong had arranged for Lu Yin and Ku Wei was indeed secluded, and the scenery was beautiful.
After Qing Kong left, Ku Wei immediately lay down on the ground. "Master, please don't give me any blood! I don't want to stay here. I don't want to be taken care of."
Lu Yin replied, "Give me some of your blood. The more, the better."
Ku Wei wailed again, but Lu Yin grew impatient. "Alright, I have a way to obtain even purer Progenitor Chen's blood. Just give it to me. Just a reminder: the more blood you give, the greater the chances of success. If too little causes Progenitor Chen's blood to become impure, then you'll have to stay here."
Ku Wei was startled, and he hurriedly began to give Lu Yin his blood. He could only trust Lu Yin's words.
Of course, Lu Yin would not leave Ku Wei here to be drained. After all, Ku Wei was his disciple, and he was not that cruel. What he wanted was to improve Ku Wei's bloodline. With his die's three pips, he should be able to improve it to the same level as Progenitor Chen's bloodline, not just a little bit.
Ku Wei was really going all out, and he had given up more than half of his blood. He looked like he was terminally ill, and he could not even walk.
The blood floated in the air, but Lu Yin could not sense any trace of Progenitor Chen's blood. His own Lu family bloodline was enough to assimilate Progenitor Chen's bloodline.
Lu Yin took most of Ku Wei's blood and went into seclusion. He told Ku Wei that he would only come out in ten days.
Ku Wei could only wait and hope that Lu Yin would not be so cruel as to leave him here to be drained.
Elsewhere, Qing Kong once again approached Chen Huang.
"Are they willing?"
Do you agree? "Chen Huang asked.
Qing Kong replied, "Don't worry, Lu Yin is very smart and calculative. He won't give up on the giant bloodline."
"Sigh. Back then, the giant bloodline only fought for themselves and the Fifth Mainland. Now, they actually have to work for someone else. If Progenitor Chen finds out, his heart will ache," Chen Huang said helplessly.
Qing Kong shook his head. "Times have changed, and there are very few people like Progenitor Chen among the humans. Lu Yin is the most outstanding human I've ever seen. If we follow him, we'll be able to establish ourselves on the Fifth Mainland."
"I hope that we can really become giants and grow without limit. One day, we'll reach Progenitor Chen's level, and we'll be able to destroy stars with a wave of our hands."
Lu Yin waited for eight days before his die finally returned to normal. He raised his hand, and the die reappeared, and he tapped it.
He had been rolling it quite frequently during this time.
Four pips, and his luck was quite good. The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin appeared in the Time Stop Space.
Here, he could definitely roll three pips.
One time, two times, three times, four times. On the seventh time, Lu Yin rolled three pips. Two screens of light appeared, and Lu Yin took a deep breath and began to upgrade his blood.
He frantically tossed star essence into it.
Progenitor Chen was a Progenitor, and anyone with the word "Progenitor" attached to their name was not simple. Even if it was just a seemingly useless blood, the upgrade cost was much more than ordinary external items.
The first upgrade cost him three million star essence, and the subsequent upgrades increased exponentially.
With each upgrade, the blood fell again and again. Eventually, the blood changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing an indescribable pressure. After the sixth upgrade, the blood's color became much more profound, and the surrounding void distorted as if a giant was roaring. Then, the seventh, eighth, and ninth time fell. The blood was no longer blood, and it seemed to be alive.
It clearly existed, but Lu Yin felt as if the space around him could not bear the weight of the pressure. Suddenly, a fist punched towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin was shocked and subconsciously retreated, but the fist disappeared. Was that an illusion?
No, that was not right. It was a battle that had been branded into Progenitor Chen's blood, and it was a mark that could not be erased.
Lu Yin stopped upgrading, as he knew that he would definitely be able to obtain Progenitor Chen's blood when he was at his peak. However, he did not know what would happen at that time, and he did not know if he would be able to handle it.
The nine upgrades had cost him more than 1.22 billion star essence, which was another reason why he did not upgrade it. Any more upgrades would cost an astronomical figure, and he might not even have enough money on him.
Even now, he had used more than a billion star essence, which was enough to make his heart ache. The Giant Financial Group would have to pay for this.
Lu Yin shook his head as he looked at Progenitor Chen's blood. It was a pity that it was useless to him, but it would definitely be of great use to Ku Wei.
When the time was up, Lu Yin left the Time Stop Space and walked outside. Ku Wei had recovered quite a bit, and there was a bit of red on his face. He looked at Lu Yin nervously, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Lu Yin laughed. "I'll return some of your blood to you, but you'll have to use the rest of your life to repay me." He then tossed a bottle of Progenitor Chen's blood to Ku Wei's puzzled gaze.
After upgrading most of Ku Wei's blood, he had only obtained three bottles of Progenitor Chen's blood, and this bottle was for Ku Wei.
Ku Wei caught it and stared blankly at Progenitor Chen's blood. The blood inside actually made him want to absorb it. "Master, what's this?"
"It's Progenitor Chen's blood. Absorb it and take a look."
