"Damned thing..."
Lu Ling, having failed, cursed furiously.
As a powerful member of the Blood Race at the mid-stage of the Sky Sea Realm, he lost the treasure to Chen Yu, who was merely at the Half-step Sky Sea Realm; if word of this got back to the Blood Race, he'd likely lose face for the rest of his life.
However, since Chen Yu risked so much to grab the Blood Essence Crystal Stone, there was a bright side for Lu Ling.
When Chen Yu strove for the Blood Essence Crystal Stone, he did so by self-harming to get close to the treasure and making Lu Ling sustain injuries to halt his pursuit. At this moment, Chen Yu must be seriously wounded.
Granted he had the Blood Soul Fusion Technique, and both of them were enduring the same kind of injuries, but Lu Ling, as a mid-stage Sky Sea Realm Blood Race strongman, had a higher vitality and his self-healing ability was astonishing.
