Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 55 Breakthrough

One hour later, at Kyoto base city.

"Sir, this is the best property we have on hand right now. What do you think?"

Jiang Lan stood in a luxuriously decorated villa and glanced out the window.

Outside the window, all is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by artificial hills and flowing water.

Most importantly, the nearest other building to this villa is about 100 meters away.

"Okay, this one will do."

"The monthly rent for this room is 3.2 million. If you rent it for a month, the total cost including the deposit is 5 million. Is that acceptable to you?"

Give me the account.

Jiang Lan didn't waste any words.

Three million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it's really nothing to him.

Seeing Jiang Lan agree so readily, the real estate agent's eyes lit up.

It was worth getting up in the middle of the night to work after closing such a big deal.

At around 3 a.m., real estate agencies were obviously closed, but thanks to Jiang Lan's financial power, no problem was insurmountable.

Jiang Lan transferred five million to the intermediary and said:

"I don't want anyone to bother me for the next month."

"Don't worry, the homeowner has gone on vacation to another base city. There's only one key, and I guarantee that no one will disturb you."

The real estate agent continued:

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"That's all."

"Then, sir, I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Lan didn't say anything more, but just nodded slightly.

The agent took out the key, placed it on the shoe cabinet in front of the door, and then turned and left.

Seeing the agent leave, Jiang Lan then sat down on the sofa.

According to his estimate, this breakthrough will definitely not take more than a month.

It might even be over in a few hours.

But there's no way around it; these villas are rented for at least a month.

This was his first breakthrough, and he didn't know the specific process or how big the commotion would be.

Therefore, renting a villa is the best option to ensure safety.

In this way, even if you make a big commotion, it won't attract attention.

Jiang Lan glanced out the window to make sure the agent had left before taking out a tactical backpack full of Body Tempering Pills from her system inventory.

Jiang Lan placed her backpack on the sofa, stood up, went to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then returned to the sofa.

He took the backpack in his hand, unzipped it, and the Body Tempering Pills inside immediately made a gurgling sound, almost overflowing.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Lan grabbed a handful and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Instantly, streams of heat appeared and surged towards his lower abdomen, specifically his dantian.

Jiang Lan had vaguely realized that all these heat currents were pure genetic energy.

However, these genetic energy sources couldn't cause any trouble in Jiang Lan's body at all. In less than a few seconds, they were all absorbed by his body cells.

Jiang Lan remained unmoved, after all, he had only swallowed a few Body Tempering Pills in one gulp, and now, he had nearly a thousand Body Tempering Pills in his backpack!

If each Body Tempering Pill increases his physical attributes by one-tenth of the corresponding monster's attributes, then consuming these thousand Body Tempering Pills would likely increase his strength by three million kilograms.

Because in the previous few days, the monsters that Jiang Lan hunted all lived within the third ring road of City 003, or even in the city center.

Jiang Lan killed five high-level lord monsters in three days, not counting the Ironclad Dragon.

On average, the quality of the nearly one thousand monsters he hunted was basically at the level of a high-level beast general.

The strength threshold for advanced human warriors is 32,000 kilograms.

Monsters are usually stronger than humans, even if it's 40,000.

Jiang Lan's estimate was a conservative one. If each monster truly had a strength of 40,000 kilograms, then the Body Tempering Pill could increase his strength by 4,000 kilograms.

One thousand Body Tempering Pills, that's four million kilograms.

Even considering his original strength of one million kilograms, if five million kilograms still isn't enough to break through to the planetary level...

It's really spicy!

Therefore, Jiang Lan wasn't worried at all.

After the heat dissipated, he took out a handful of Body Tempering Pills from his bag and put them in his mouth.

Dissipate again, then eat again.

Dissipate again, then eat again.

He ate for a good ten minutes, until he had eaten almost half a backpackful of Body Tempering Pills, before he finally stopped.

Fortunately, this stuff melts in your mouth and doesn't fill you up.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to eat so much.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. After consuming half a packet of Body Tempering Pills, Jiang Lan finally felt a slight change within his body.

Normally, once heat enters the body, it is directly absorbed by the cells and then disappears.

This time, however, the heat absorbed into her body did not disappear; in fact, the cells in Jiang Lan's body were slowly releasing heat outwards.

The heat slowly gathered, and eventually, it formed streams of liquid that looked like flowing water.

These liquids clung together and then slowly grew larger.

A few minutes later, the liquid inside Jiang Lan's body surged like turbulent waves, churning and splashing with a rushing sound.

Suddenly, the liquids gathered together and rushed towards Jiang Lan's lower abdomen, specifically the dantian area.

"boom!"

A loud sound came from inside Jiang Lan's body.

The liquid rushed directly into Jiang Lan's dantian without any hindrance.

He frowned, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, Jiang Lan felt as if his dantian was about to explode, and waves of intense swelling and pain surged into his mind.

However, Jiang Lan did not suffer for long. The liquid gathered in his dantian and, as if it had its own consciousness, began to slowly contract and expand.

When it contracts, it shrinks into a ball; when it expands, it fills the dantian, which resembles a vast ocean.

Jiang Lan's dantian was also constantly changing.

Originally, it was just an organ, but as the water flowed, in Jiang Lan's consciousness, his dantian seemed to have become a miniature universe, boundless and limitless.

The feeling of expansion has completely disappeared.

However, the water in his dantian continued to pulsate.

The rhythm seemed to have a peculiar quality, causing Jiang Lan to unconsciously immerse herself in it, forgetting everything else.

I don't know how much time has passed.

With each expansion, the water sphere grew to hundreds or thousands of times its original size, and the liquid transformed into countless wisps of mist.

The water sphere shrank to a single point, then suddenly expanded again.

"boom!!!"

A tremendous sound rang out, and this time the water sphere did not shrink again, but instead burst open, reverting to the purest genetic energy, spreading to every corner of Jiang Lan's dantian.

Almost simultaneously, a powerful suction force, like a black hole, was generated at the center of his dantian.

A large amount of scattered genetic energy, under this enormous suction force, frantically converged at a single point in the core of Jiang Lan's dantian.
