Transformed into Hyper Zetton, the school beauty was terrified in the second playthrough.

"Tsk tsk..."

Lin Chengfeng savored the taste on his tongue.

"Sweet and sour, is this really concentrated corpse fluid from a monster?"

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that the juice was extracted from blood crystals, he would have thought it was plum juice.

After waiting for two minutes, my body showed no abnormal reaction; in fact, I felt much more energetic.

I'm full of energy, and I feel like I could go out and run a couple of laps around Longyuan Base City.

"If I'm not mistaken, the monster's method of absorption is the most primitive: stuffing it into its stomach!"

Lin Chengfeng mustered his courage, tilted his head back, and drank the essence blood in the glass bottle in one gulp. In order not to waste it, he even stuck out his tongue to lick the essence blood off the bottle.

Half a minute later, a surge of immense power welled up within him and began to slowly spread throughout his body.

[By consuming Blood Crystal Essence, your human body's physique is strengthened, allowing you to withstand a full-force attack from a city-destroying monster without sustaining any damage.]

[Your human form's power has been enhanced; even city-destroying monsters are no longer a match for you.]

Hyper Zetton has recovered 10% of his injuries and his strength has increased slightly.

[Combat skill projection has been unlocked.]

"Huh? Healed? Hyper Zetton is still injured?!" Lin Chengfeng discovered some incredible information.

He had always thought that Hyper Zetton's strength was partially restricted by the dog system, but he never expected that it was seriously injured.

Given his energetic appearance, he couldn't sense any signs of Hyper Zetton being injured.

"In other words, if I want to return to my peak, I must get rid of Hyper Zetton's severe injuries."

"100 ml of Blood Crystal Essence can restore 10% of my condition, leaving 90% remaining, which means I still need to find 900 ml of Blood Crystal Essence."

"hiss……"

"That's equivalent to finding 4 tons of blood crystal ore." Lin Chengfeng gasped when he calculated that number.

His current level of access is too low to have a sufficient understanding of blood crystal ore.

"That girl Gu Wanxue knows where the blood crystal mine is. I'll have to secretly find out about it tomorrow."

"At the very least, try to get promoted to A-level combatant as soon as possible to learn more comprehensive information about blood crystal mines."

Lin Chengfeng clapped his hands and decided on his future plans.

Coming to his senses, he turned his attention to the newly unlocked combat skill projection function.

"Tomorrow is the final of the preliminary rounds. Although I chose the corpse dissection competition, if one of the two combatants is defeated..."

I reckon the academy will send me to fill in. Relying solely on fists and legs is a bit monotonous, and if I encounter an enemy who uses control techniques, I'll be left on the defensive.

"In the end, it's still better to learn some combat skills, to have more options, and to have more disguise."

Lin Chengfeng scanned the combat skills that could be unlocked at present.

[Reflective Shield: Reflects enemy attacks back, the intensity of the reflected energy is based on the human host's strength. Price: 10 Evolution Points]

[Instant Teleport: Look behind you again (High cost, use with caution). Price: 20 Evolution Points]

[Dark Fireball (Youth Version): Can continuously fire small dark fireballs, with temperatures reaching 3000℃. Price: 30 Evolution Points]

...

[Specium Ray: Human hosts can now fire beams too. Price: 50 Evolution Points]

"It seems... something strange has gotten mixed in."

Looking at the mere 30 evolution points in his account, Lin Chengfeng hesitated for a long time before finally choosing the Dark Fireball Youth Edition.

If he had to give a reason, it's the only ranged attack method he can afford right now.

…………

at the same time.

Ping An Building, Shangcheng District.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Gu Wanxue sat cross-legged on the soft bed and released her alien core defense.

After sensing the alien core, the essence blood inside the glass bottle slithered out of the bottle like a small snake and slowly entered Gu Wanxue's alien core.

It transforms into boundless energy that nourishes the entire body.

Her aura rose steadily.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the peak of Grade B, and one hand had already touched Grade A.

After the fusion ended, she opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"call……"

"I'm just a little short of breaking through to A-level. There are still five days left before the two base cities connect. That's enough time for me to break the seal on the Azure Rainbow Sword and break through to A-level combatant."

Gu Wanxue took out the rusty broken sword and used alien core energy to lift it into the air.

A complex rune star map appeared before her, and she raised her hands to piece together the scattered runes onto the star map.

Once all seven stars are lit up, the seal will be completely broken.

"I have a match tomorrow, so I'll be playing until 4 a.m. tonight. Three hours of sleep should be enough."

……

In the villa area in the other direction of Shangcheng District.

A huge three-story villa of 500 square meters is inhabited by a green-haired little girl.

At this moment, Xia Qi was wearing a loose-fitting nightgown on top and a green and white silk-trimmed black dress on the bottom.

She sat quietly in the backyard pavilion, where the glass jar filled with her semen on the marble table was now empty.

She absorbed all the essence and blood into her body.

Soon, she opened her eyes, her aura rising even higher.

Originally at the C-level ceiling, she easily broke through the B-level barrier and successfully joined the ranks of B-level combatants.

But there was no joy on her face.

Xia Qi raised his right hand and punched a piece of diamond rock ornamental stone from a distance.

A five-pointed star fist shadow emitting green light flew out, and the moment it touched the diamond ornamental stone, whose hardness was comparable to that of a C-level defensive combatant, shattered into dust in the blink of an eye.

The fist continued its unstoppable advance, flattening half of the backyard before finally disappearing after smashing into the composite alloy wall.

Looking at the mess in the backyard, Xia Qi sighed helplessly: "They've gotten stronger again."

Looking up at the night sky, she murmured, "I really don't want to do PvP, Sister Gu. I hope I can control my strength. I don't want to cause any more deaths..."

Once upon a time, Xia Qi, relying on his strength which was greater than that of his peers, always enjoyed the thrill of battle.

When you encounter a strong opponent, you should have a friendly spar.

Until one day...

She encountered a truly formidable foe, her childhood playmate from the orphanage.

He was also the first person to die at Xia Qi's hands.

Since then, Xia Qi has stopped fighting.

It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to fight, but I'm afraid I'll kill someone again.

The conditions Gu Wanxue offered certainly wouldn't allow her to break this rule.

The person who truly breaks this rule...

Actually, it was herself.

She knew she couldn't keep giving up like this; she had to confront the forces beyond her control.

Gu Wanxue's invitation was actually giving Xia Qi an opportunity to make a choice.

For many years, Xia Qi has been trying to make a change.

Now I've finally mustered the courage to step out.
