Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 7 Life Elixir (Part 2)

[Dropped Item: Apprentice-level Life Elixir]

[Drop Source: H-Rank Iron-Blooded Boar]

[Drop Tier: Normal Drop]

[Item Description: A spiritual liquid containing pure life energy. After being consumed by an apprentice-level martial artist/spiritual master, it can increase punching power/spiritual power by 1000kg.]

Looking at the description of the effects of the 'Apprentice-level Life Elixir', Lu Jin was overjoyed.

Although this thing is far inferior to "The Sword and Shadow Manual", Lu Jinke has no intention of looking down on it.

The increase in punching power by a full thousand kilograms is equivalent to the gains he has made from ten days of gene energy training.

In addition, this confirmed two points for Lu Jin.

That means monsters can also drop loot, and the drops at the normal level are far inferior to those at the enhanced level.

In the universe, there are many items with effects similar to the Apprentice-level Life Elixir; one universe coin can buy a whole bunch of them.

However, even if there are channels to purchase ordinary manuals, the price must be calculated in units of Hunyuan.

The exchange rate between the Primal Chaos Unit and the Cosmic Coin is fixed at one to one trillion.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Jin didn't immediately take out the 'Apprentice-level Life Elixir' to consume, lest he be caught on camera by surveillance cameras installed in certain corners of the town.

'If possible, it would be best to get more.'

Lu Jin thought to himself, then picked up the Broken Army Sword and left the small building to continue his hunt.

Early the next morning.

"Uuuuuu——"

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out over the entire monster town.

At the same time, a loud voice rang out through the loudspeaker throughout the town: "The assessment time is here. All prospective martial artists, proceed to the town exit immediately."

"it's over?"

On a street in the small town, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Trash!

Glancing at the tiger mastiff corpse lying in a pool of blood beside him, Lu Jin cursed under his breath and headed towards the exit of Monster Town.

Perhaps it was because, although their realms were the same, the H-rank monsters were of a lower rank than he, a mid-level warrior.

Aside from the Iron-haired Wild Boar, Lu Jin, who slaughtered over a hundred H-level monsters in one night, failed to obtain another Apprentice-level Life Elixir, nor did he receive any other drops.

Before long, one by one, aspiring martial artists walked out of the Monster Town entrance.

Most of the prospective martial artists were stained with blood, some from monsters, and some from their own bodies.

Of course, there were also those who were not stained with blood and seemed to be just tourists rather than participants in the martial arts combat assessment, such as Lu Jin.

“Beep, beep—”

A piercing sound rang out, and heavy trucks drove out of the town, their cargo piled high with the corpses of monsters.

One of the large trucks was parked at the entrance of the town, loaded with the mutilated corpses of aspiring martial artists.

Although H-rank monsters are only the lowest-ranking monsters, their strength far surpasses that of tigers and lions before the Great Nirvana. Naturally, casualties were inevitable among the prospective martial artists participating in the assessment.

Ignoring the sorrow that reached his ears, Lu Jin went to hand over the monster Left Ear that he had hunted.

Before awakening his past life memories, Lu Jin felt that he would most likely have the idea of ​​becoming the 'most dazzling person in the room', collecting all the monsters' left ears that he hunted during the assessment, and enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

But now, after collecting the left ears of five monsters, Lu Jin stopped collecting them. It wasn't that he didn't like to show off, but there was no one present who was worth showing off to.

As expected, the five-headed monster's left ear's hunting record successfully passed the martial artist's combat assessment, and this result even ranked in the upper-middle range.

In the afternoon, Lu Jin returned home.

After reporting to the old man that he had passed the assessment, Lu Jin sat cross-legged in the underground martial arts hall of the villa and took out the 'Apprentice-level Life Elixir' from his external storage space.

Suddenly, Lu Jin paused, realizing a crucial point.

If the giant axe were to travel back in time to Earth in the future, it should be able to tell that something is wrong with him, right?
After all, it doesn't make sense for someone to suddenly have a potion in their hand when they don't have any storage items like a spatial ring.

Even if Old Deng with the giant axe were to observe closely, he would surely notice that a strange joy would inexplicably spread across his face.

He could refrain from saying things he shouldn't, but he couldn't completely hide his emotional changes whenever the cheat program dropped good items.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly leave the items dropped by the cheat program unused.

Otherwise, if you can't use the cheat, what's the difference between having no cheat at all?
'Nonsense~, forget it, I won't think about it anymore. There's always a way out. As long as I don't pull out a treasure of the highest level, the giant axe probably won't try to take it by force.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Unscrew the cap of the potion bottle and Lu Jin downed the emerald green apprentice-level life essence in one gulp.

As soon as the Life Elixir entered his stomach, a surge of life energy welled up from within, guiding this energy to flow throughout his entire body. Lu Jin felt astonishing changes taking place in all the muscle and bone cells of his body.

Cells are dividing, genes are optimizing, and new, superior genes are replacing the less-than-perfect genes from the past, resulting in another perfect integration.

During this process, the discarded and useless cells turn into wisps of gray substance that seep out through the pores of the skin all over the body.

Unfortunately, changes come and go quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the life energy surging within its abdomen was exhausted, and the brief evolutionary frenzy came to an end.

Ignoring the few gray stains on his body, Lu Jin walked to the punching power testing machine, turned it on, clenched his right fist, and threw a powerful punch.

"Bam—"

The punching bag shook for a moment, and a line of numbers appeared on the screen—'4412kg'.

"Not bad, you've become a high-level warrior."

Looking at the data displayed on the punching power testing machine screen, Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

Having mastered the basics of Genetic Energy in less than a week, achieving the rank of Advanced Warrior/Martial Artist isn't slow at all.

After taking a shower, Lu Jin went up to the second-floor audio-visual room, entered the website address, and logged into the HR Alliance's martial arts network platform.

Suddenly, a massive 300-inch screen appeared on one of the walls of the audio-visual room, and the website 'HR Alliance Platform' immediately appeared on the screen.

"drop."

After fingerprint verification, some exhilarating music started playing, and a personal page appeared on the large screen, featuring Lu Jin's photo above and an information table below.

Name: Lu Jin

Sex: Male

Warrior ID number: 426123206008010008
Level: Warrior (Elementary)

A martial artist's certificate number is something that every martial artist in the world who passes the practical assessment has, just like an ID card number.

'426123' represents Jiangnan Base City, '20600801' is the date of passing the practical assessment, and the last '0008' represents the martial artist assessment in Jiangnan Base City. Lu Jin is the eighth martial artist to register.
