Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Records
It was past eleven at night when Li Fei returned home.
He practically ran back to his room, picked up the medicine bottle from his desk, and took a Nourishing Embryo Pill.
A few seconds later, he took another pill, and the intense hunger inside him gradually subsided.
“Phew—”
Li Fei let out a heavy sigh.
He had already taken a Nourishing Embryo Pill earlier that day, which indicated that the Steel Armor Implant inside his body had indeed been positively stimulated, causing the hunger to arise again.
While the effects of the medication were still active, Li Fei practiced the Heavenly Gang Qi Pile in his room for over thirty minutes until he was sweating profusely. Then, he began applying the Golden Kui Ointment.
Once the Golden Kui Ointment was fully absorbed, Li Fei felt his Steel Armor Implant settle down inside him.
“So using Blood Rage really does stimulate the Implant inside my body.”
Li Fei was now quite certain of this.
He checked the Myriad Blood Pearl:
[Rank: Level 4, 47%
Blood Soul: 18 beads + 16%]
The damage caused by the stimulation of the Implant, along with the damage from the Nourishing Embryo Pill and Golden Kui Ointment, allowed the Myriad Blood Pearl to absorb energy in the mid-teens percentage, more than what he had accumulated from a whole day’s training.
“Let’s try stimulating the Implant with Blood Rage again.”
Li Fei reactivated “Blood Rage,” consuming 1 Blood Soul.
The familiar warm flow surged through Li Fei’s entire body again.
But this time, until the duration of “Blood Rage” ended, he did not feel any abnormality in the Implant.
“What’s going on?”
Li Fei was stunned.
“Could it be that the stimulation wasn’t enough?”
He quickly thought of a reason.
The first time he used “Blood Rage,” it consumed 1 Blood Soul. Tonight, in the boxing ring, “Blood Rage” consumed 2 Blood Souls.
His body’s Steel Armor Implant had already adapted to the stimulation of 2 Blood Souls, so to induce further abnormality, would he need to consume more Blood Souls for greater stimulation?
With this thought, Li Fei immediately expended 3 Blood Souls and activated “Blood Rage” again.
After all, he still had plenty of Blood Souls and could afford to experiment boldly.
This time, the warm flow inside him was like a torrential river!
Li Fei grunted and his expression was one of pain.
Since he had been transported to this world, thanks to the Myriad Blood Pearl, he hadn’t experienced such intense pain in a long time.
The power inside him was too overwhelming, and it seemed like his body was about to burst!
Li Fei was sweating profusely, his veins bulging, and he curled up on the ground.
Worried about waking up Li Lei and others who had already gone to sleep, he bit down on his teeth and remained silent.
The Myriad Blood Pearl inside him showed no anomalies, Blood Souls slowly depleted, and at this rate, not many would be lost within a minute, so Li Fei told himself to just endure this minute.
“He…he…he…”
Only Li Fei’s heavy breathing filled the room.
During this process, he could distinctly feel the abnormality in his body’s Steel Armor Implant, as the surging power tried to break through his body, while the Implant under his skin firmly enveloped this force, the two continuously colliding.
After a minute, the warm flow disappeared, and the sensation of nearly exploding also vanished—Li Fei finally recovered.
He checked the Myriad Blood Pearl inside his body, nearly 1 Blood Soul was decreased, but no energy was gained.
“Since it’s damage caused by the Soul Skill, the Myriad Blood Pearl won’t share it, and naturally it won’t absorb any energy?”
Li Fei’s brain raced.
The state of his body and Blood Souls were closely linked; the data of Blood Souls was like his health bar, only before, most of the damage would have been shared by the Myriad Blood Pearl, reducing the damage his body bore and lessening the pain he felt.
But this time it was the opposite, his body bore all the damage, and his health bar correspondingly decreased.
“First, the damage caused by Soul Skill won’t be shared by the Myriad Blood Pearl. Second, my body’s current strength can only endure the Blood Rage caused by 2 Blood Souls, any more would harm me.”
Li Fei quickly came to this conclusion.
Then, a strong sense of hunger followed.
Li Fei’s face turned pale, and stars appeared before his eyes—this hunger was unprecedented!
He hurriedly stood up and picked up the medicine bottle on the table, pouring out a Nourishing Embryo Pill and swallowing it.
However, the feeling of hunger did not subside but instead intensified.
Li Fei simply poured out all the remaining Nourishing Embryo Pills in the bottle and took them all at once!
A few seconds later, the terrifying hunger slowly decreased.
He then began his Nourishing Embryo training, starting with the Heavenly Gang Qi Pile, followed by applying Golden Kui Ointment.
After more than two hours of exertion, he stopped.
The Nourishing Embryo Pills and Golden Kui Ointment he bought, originally meant for a month’s use, were now all used up.
Li Fei checked the Myriad Blood Pearl inside his body:
[Rank: 4 level 81%
Blood Soul: 13 beads + 27%]
The energy had increased by 34%!
Next, he only needed to train normally, and in two days, the Myriad Blood Pearl would be upgraded.
Besides, he felt a significant growth in the Steel Armor Implant inside his body.
After wiping the sweat off his body, Li Fei, now redressed, looked out the window.
Tonight the moonlight was like water, and a gentle breeze blew past the window.
Li Fei stood by the window for a while, then turned and walked toward the bed.
Tonight was likely to be filled with good dreams.
…
The next morning, his biological clock woke Li Fei on time.
“Hmm?”
As he got out of bed, he noticed a lot of black hair on the sheets.
Touching his face, he felt his skin was smoother than yesterday, tighter, and more resilient.
“What is this?”
He hurriedly took off his pajamas and found the same changes in all his skin, and the fine hairs had all fallen off, making him look much fairer.
“This must be a good change.”
Thinking so, he then left his room to wash up.
In the living room, while having breakfast, Li Tianyu stared at Li Fei for a while:
“Why do I feel like you suddenly became a bit handsomer?”
Li Fei laughed, “Was I not handsome before?”
“How has your skin thickened after going to the Martial Arts Hall?”
“You actually got that right; the implant I used does make the skin thicker.”
“Hahahaha.”
Laughter filled the living room.
After breakfast, Li Fei ran to the Martial Arts Hall.
Upon meeting Hao Yi, he shared the changes he had discovered that morning.
Hearing this, Hao Yi stepped forward, grabbed Li Fei’s arm to take a closer look, pressed down with his fingers, and expressed both shock and delight:
“All body hair falling off, skin becoming resilient, this is the Steel Armor Implant replacing your skin tissues!”
“Replacing skin tissues? Have I already reached the Body Breaking Stage?”
Li Fei excitedly asked.
“Once the Steel Armor Implant preliminarily completes replacing your skin tissues, you will officially enter the Body Breaking Stage. This process will take about 10 to 15 days.”
Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a complex expression:
“Do you know what the fastest record from Nourishing Embryo to Body Breaking is at Wu’an University?”
Li Fei shook his head.
“It’s 28 days.”
“If you are admitted to Wuda this year, you might very well break that record!”
