Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

"According to the contract, after the injection, you will need to rely on your own willpower to endure the drug's reactions for as long as possible."

"The longer you persist, the higher the chance of qualifying for subsequent tests will be, and the more generous the rewards will be."

"The medication will naturally cause some discomfort, but it is all within the range that the human body can tolerate."

The woman's voice was utterly calm, and every word uttered from her red lips was as if it had been meticulously crafted by the legal department, leaving no room for error.

"In the event of severe rejection, our medical team will intervene immediately, so please rest assured."

The woman paused, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

"Now, if everything is correct, please sign the contract."

"Note that your real names are required here, otherwise you will not receive payment."

As she finished speaking, contracts were distributed by the doctors in white coats.

Wei Xiu took the contract, didn't even look at the densely packed terms, flipped directly to the last page, and signed his name.

There's no point in looking; otherwise, why would we argue about the terms in this black market?

Just getting through it and receiving the money is enough!

The others also signed their names one after another.

"Okay, begin the injection."

Each person in a white coat held a vial of medicine and walked to the side of the group.

The cold needle pierced the arm, and the deep red liquid was slowly pushed into the vein.

At first, I didn't feel anything.

Wei Xiu looked down at his arm; only the needle marks were slightly red, and his body showed no other abnormalities.

"That's it?" The bearded man next to him swung his arm and let out a disdainful sneer.

"I thought it was going to be something really powerful..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The women and those in white coats had already stepped back five paces in unison.

At the same time, a low mechanical hum came from the floor beneath everyone's feet!

"Buzz..."

Four thick tempered glass walls slowly rose from the ground, completely surrounding the nine people in the middle!

The glass wall and ceiling fit together tightly without leaving any gaps. Although there are ventilation holes all over the wall, the overall airtightness is visible to the naked eye!

"Hey! What do you mean by this?!"

The bearded man reacted the most violently, punching the glass wall, but apart from a muffled thud, the glass wall didn't budge!

"Why are you locking me in a birdcage?!"

The others also turned pale and started banging on the glass while cursing.

The woman stood outside the glass wall, facing these angry questions without changing her expression, simply shaking her head indifferently.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is just a precaution."

"The test will be over soon, and if there are no unexpected issues, everyone will be able to come out quickly."

After saying this, she glanced down at her watch, then turned and nodded to the white-coated doctor beside her who was adjusting the recording equipment.

"About two minutes left, get ready to record."

Two minutes!

These two short words made everyone inside the glass wall jump their hearts out!

What will happen in two minutes?!

The air seemed to be gradually solidifying, and an indescribable sense of oppression was pressing in from all directions!

In the midst of this tension, a minute later...

"Ugh!!"

Behind the bearded man, a burly man suddenly convulsed!

Everyone immediately looked over and saw him lying on the operating table as if his bones had been removed, his whole body trembling violently, as if he were having an epileptic seizure!

"It's so hot... My body is so hot!!"

At that moment, another person clutched their chest!

His face turned a deep purplish-red, veins bulging from his forehead, and he roared as he knelt on the ground!

Almost instantly, the deep red potion seemed to ignite a fire in his blood vessels!

Of the nine people, seven collapsed within a mere ten seconds!

Some were curled up in a ball and convulsing, while others were clutching their own necks tightly, emitting chilling gasps.

Some even collapsed headfirst, foaming at the mouth, their whole bodies trembling so much that the operating table shook!

Even the bearded man couldn't hold on any longer. He knelt down, his hands gripping the table tightly, his facial muscles contorting uncontrollably, and his eyes bloodshot.

Of the eight people, Wei Xiu was the last to react.

At first, while everyone else was struggling in pain, he remained standing still, even adjusting his slipping sunglasses.

But just a second after the bearded man fell to the ground...

boom!

A shock, seemingly emanating from the depths of his soul, exploded in Wei Xiu's mind without warning!

My head felt heavy, as if someone had smashed a hammer into my temple!

Wei Xiu lost his balance in that instant, and with a dizzying spin, he fell to his knees on one knee!

And that's not all!

Immediately afterwards, every muscle in my body, and even every muscle fiber, began to tremble and spasm uncontrollably, as if countless hands were tearing and twisting it!

Moreover, this feeling wasn't going outwards; it kept going inwards, until finally, even the bones felt like they were being torn apart!

Wei Xiu could no longer hold back. He ripped off his mask, and could only let out heavy breathing!

Sweat instantly soaked through his hoodie, and blood started flowing from his nose, leaving a shocking red stain on the ground!

Outside the glass wall, a man in a white coat who was taking notes frowned upon seeing this and shook his head at the woman.

"Sir, this third experimental subject, Yu, has also shown a rejection reaction. It seems that his central nervous system has been stimulated, and his muscle groups are experiencing large-scale uncontrolled tremors."

"At the current rate, it is estimated that in another three to five minutes, his cell walls will begin to break down, and subsequently his internal organs will be eroded."

The doctor in the white coat pushed up his glasses, his tone tinged with regret.

"The conclusion is consistent with the previous one: the side effects of Abyss Boiling Blood No. 3 have not improved."

"Compared to No. 2, No. 3, due to its enhanced Yuan energy sensing, erodes the subjects' bodies faster and causes more severe damage."

"Based on the current data, the survival rate of this batch of No. 3 seedlings will not exceed 15%. I suggest we continue to optimize the formula for No. 2 seedlings."

Upon hearing these words, a hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Isn't there even one that can withstand it?"

Looking at the figures inside the glass wall, some convulsing and others lying on the ground, her murmurs were soft, but the intense resentment was clearly audible.

Abyss Boiling Blood No. 3 is the culmination of the company's hard work over the past two years!

If it can pass the human compatibility test, the benefits it brings will be more than ten times that of No. 2.

It could even help the company secure a formal seat in the Sky Federation!

But what if there isn't even one test subject who can last five minutes...?

The woman closed her eyes and gently shook her head, seemingly accepting that the experiment would end in failure.

however!

Meanwhile, inside the glass wall!

Wei Xiu, who was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly heard a heavy notification sound in his mind!

[A lethal level of energy destruction has been detected!]
