Today's test was another major failure.

Upon seeing the words before him, You Yonghuai instinctively tried to turn his head, but the flesh and blood around him completely bound him, preventing him from moving.

But the next second, the gradual loss of sensation in his left arm caused a tremor in You Yonghuai's eyes.

Within seconds, he could no longer feel his left hand.

It was as if he had never had a left hand from the beginning.

The painless, fleeting change barely made You Yonghuai feel anything, but the constant writhing and squeezing of the flesh that was carrying his body toward his heart reminded him, making him gradually realize the incompleteness of his body.

At the same time, the ten-sided die spun before his eyes once again:

[Physical fitness test: A score greater than 39 indicates a successful test]

Test result: 35

[Test failed! Your left leg has been assimilated by the 'Source of Life'.]

However, You Yonghuai has no immediate plans to make a big fuss about the body parts he has lost.

When he noticed the words "source of life" on that line of text, he remembered what Si Xuanyin had said during their previous conversation.

There are two conditions for Si Xuanyin to return to her physical body.

First, it must destroy any unlucky node; second, it must possess a sufficiently large vitality.

Upon seeing its name, You Yonghuai immediately thought of Si Xuanyin.

However, given his current precarious state, he is unable to help Si Xuanyin resolve her physical problems.

"Yonghuai, you wait here, I'll fly back to the police station right away to call for help!" Si Xuanyin said hurriedly, circling the pillar of flesh and blood a few times, helpless herself.

Since Si Xuanyin's soul is currently attached to You Yonghuai, she cannot leave You Yonghuai's vicinity for a certain period of time.

If she goes beyond this range, she will lose her support and gradually become weak. Over time, she may even disappear completely.

But Si Xuanyin couldn't care less about that.

Fortunately, after the opening ceremony, the man turned and went upstairs, presumably to wake up some of his assistants.

Moreover, the man, or rather, his body, could not see Si Xuanyin.

"Wait!" You Yonghuai's body was quickly squeezed to the center of the pillar of flesh and blood, and the bright red heart came into his view again.

The difference was that this time, You Yonghuai wasn't completely attracted to that heart; in fact, he felt a sense of familiarity.

The Source of Life (Incomplete)

[It contains abundant life force, capable of regenerating severed limbs, and even resurrecting the dead upon completion.]

【Trait: "Misfortune Abounds" (3/4)】

Upon seeing the heart up close, corresponding words appeared before You Yonghuai's eyes.

It was precisely that inexplicable quality of the last line that made You Yonghuai hurriedly call out to Si Xuanyin.

Recalling the message that his left hand had just been assimilated by the Source of Life, a conjecture suddenly came to You Yonghuai's mind.

I am gradually being assimilated by this heart, becoming a part of this enormous flesh and blood. But conversely, isn't this flesh and blood also becoming a part of me?

Otherwise, how could the remaining three-quarters of his "misfortune" appear on the source of life?

It's not like they're just idly cursing their own work in the lab.

The notebook that recorded flesh magic clearly described a spell.

A kind of magic that allows one to manipulate one's own flesh and blood.

This magic isn't difficult; it's just a matter of reciting a few incantations, since it uses one's own flesh and blood.

Generally speaking, you use a little bit at a time, and pure manipulation of flesh and blood doesn't offer much room for creativity.

But now, You Yonghuai has had a remarkable effect.

However, this means that he might have to absorb the incomplete source of life directly, and it wouldn't be so easy to give it to Si Xuanyin later.

After telling Si Xuanyin his guesses and situation, before You Yonghuai could even ask about her choice, Si Xuanyin anxiously urged him:

"What are you waiting for? If you have a solution, do it now!"

"And your body..."

"Anything goes right now!" Si Xuanyin stomped her feet in anger. "Why do you care so much about other people's problems? You should be taking care of yourself first!"

Si Xuanyin's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, as if she wasn't the one who had chosen the more favorable option.

You Yonghuai naturally didn't say anything more and directly recited the incantation.

He was also afraid that if he slowed down any further, he would lose all four of his limbs.

As the obscure syllables fell, the heart trembled violently, and the entire pillar of flesh and blood began to shake.

If it were to be used normally as material for flesh and blood magic, You Yonghuai would certainly be unable to manipulate it, since this is a ritual and he is just a beginner.

But now, the object of his flesh magic is not the flesh of outsiders, but "his own body".

In the blink of an eye, the heart lost its previous stability, beating faster and faster, as if resisting You Yonghuai's manipulation.

The pillar of flesh split into tentacles, which, as if enduring excruciating pain, wildly and haphazardly lashed out in all directions.

You Yonghuai, taking advantage of his newfound control, manipulated a thin, fleshy tentacle, pushing himself toward his heart.

As he continued chanting the incantation, You Yonghuai felt as if he were taming a wild horse.

The heart constantly resisted You Yonghuai's manipulation, and a large number of fleshy tentacles thrashed and twisted wildly, slapping towards You Yonghuai.

However, the life source that had assimilated into You Yonghuai's body had inherited his misfortune.

The large, fleshy tentacles always precisely avoided You Yonghuai's body, smashing cracks one after another in the basement.

The increasingly loud noise made You Yonghuai somewhat worried. If the man who left the basement didn't stay there, he would definitely notice what was happening in the basement.

If I delay any longer, I'll really miss my chance.

Thinking of this, You Yonghuai used his remaining leg to leap off the fleshy tentacles and bite down on the heart.

The taste of blood burst in his mouth, making You Yonghuai instinctively nauseous, and his heart pounded faster as if trying to escape from his mouth.

The fleshy tentacles began to thrash even more chaotically.

Of course, You Yonghuai wouldn't let the heart escape. He raised his right hand and grabbed the heart tightly.

Even with the most powerful beating, the source of life could not withstand the strength in You Yonghuai's hands.

After a few symbolic struggles, the crystal-clear heart slid smoothly into You Yonghuai's mouth.

HP cap increased from 100 to 10000

[Gain the trait "Source of Life":]

It possesses immense vitality and can freely heal its physical injuries before they are exhausted.

Remaining Vitality: 8000

Without its center, the pillar of flesh and blood collapsed, and You Yonghuai's limbs immediately regenerated.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the man upstairs.
