Evil Immortal!

With the successive appearances of Wu Xingkong, Gu Zhengyang, and others, Meng Yuan's D-level mission has been completed, and the rewards have been obtained.

However, Meng Yuan's injuries are quite serious. Although Du Caidie and the monk Kumu had treated his injuries earlier, his injuries have only recovered slightly and have not continued to deteriorate.

With a thought, Meng Yuan opened the panel:

[Meng Yuan]: Grayish-white - Ordinary (NPC)

[Race]: Human

[Level]: Tier 1 (Great Perfection of Martial Master)

Occupation: None

【HP】: 260/30

[Status]: Severely injured, weak (contaminated by demonic energy).

【功法】：黑豚贪食功第4层（0/5000）、阴风斩鬼刀大成（0/2800）

[Equipment]: Fine iron longsword (common weapon, good quality)

[Experience]: 5490

[Public Beta Countdown]: 157 days

......

Clearly, Meng Yuan is in very poor condition. He is not only seriously injured, but his health has also dropped drastically, almost depleted, with only 30 points remaining.

Fortunately, the treatment from Du Caidie and the withered monk was quite effective.

At least the horrific wound on his shoulder had disappeared, the blisters around it had vanished, and even the charred, necrotic flesh of the burned skin had been replaced by pink flesh.

The teacup-sized hole had healed somewhat, but thankfully it hadn't damaged any bones; it still looked terrible.

Fortunately...

Meng Yuan's gaze fell on the 'Experience' column. Looking at the number '5490', he breathed a sigh of relief. "Now I finally have enough experience. I should be able to advance to the second tier."

As we all know, advancement in cultivation is essentially a sublimation of life.

His injuries are too severe right now, and if anything unexpected happens, he could easily kick the bucket and meet his maker. But if he can take this opportunity to advance to the second tier, he can also take the chance to heal his injuries and restore his health.

The key is that once his cultivation level improves, he might be able to find opportunities to gain some benefits in the upcoming battles between Gu Zhengyang, Wu Xingkong, and others.

[Do you want to spend 5000 experience points to upgrade "Black Pig Gluttony Technique" to level 4?]

"Sure!"

As soon as Meng Yuan finished speaking, a surge of heat rushed into his body, from head to toe, along his meridians, bones, flesh, and even internal organs, and began to temper him.

The martial arts profession cultivates physical strength, blood and energy, and mental fortitude.

First-tier martial artists focus on forging their tendons, bones, and skin to strengthen their foundation and cultivate their vitality. Second-tier innate martial artists, on the other hand, involve refining their internal organs, cleansing their marrow, and changing their blood.

Under the tempering of this powerful and pure heat, Meng Yuan felt as if every part of his body, inside and out, was soaking in the hot spring, warm and cozy, with occasional stinging sensations, but with a unique kind of pleasure.

The circulation of Qi and blood accelerates, and each cycle consumes these heat flows, continuously strengthening them.

His stomach was rumbling, his digestive system was clearly functioning better, his heart was beating faster, pumping blood throughout his body like a powerful water pump, his lungs felt tingly and itchy, and his breath seemed to carry an extra layer of fresh air...

He recovered quickly from the weakness caused by his injury and became energetic and full of vitality.

Even the wound on my shoulder was enveloped in warmth, and the tingling and itchy feeling became stronger, but this was a good thing, indicating that the injury was healing.

The only drawback is that some of the heat flow from this upgrade was still cut off by the aberrant sarcoma. At the same time, the aberrant sarcoma on my neck, which had been nourished, was causing me excruciating pain!

It was as if flesh and blood had been torn apart, and something was crawling out from inside.

Even though Meng Yuan tried hard to stay focused and digest the new memories in his mind, he almost broke down from the pain.

In particular, that strange, unsettling feeling made Meng Yuan's hair stand on end; he felt that something was off about the ghostly thing on his neck.

After a while, the upgrade was complete.

[You have advanced to the fourth level of the "Black Pig Gluttony Technique"!]

[You have been promoted to Innate Martial Master (Tier 2)! Job change function is now available!]

......

Meng Yuan didn't rush to assess his condition. Instead, he opened his eyes and eagerly pulled back the tattered cloth to look at the deformed tumor on his neck.

"grass!"

Just one glance was enough to nearly break his guard, sending chills down his spine.

At this moment, the flesh around the eyes of the distorted human face on the deformed tumor had split open, revealing two white eyeballs.

These are real eyeballs, the kind that can actually roll around, not the kind of oil painting effect as before!

Noticing Meng Yuan's gaze, the whites of the eyes looked at Meng Yuan. They were pure and clear, like those of a newborn baby, but the pupils were only tiny black dots the size of rice grains, giving the eyes a strange and eerie quality, and a hint of innate ferocity.

"..."

Meng Yuan was silent for a moment, then decisively wrapped the deformed tumor with a rag.

If this weird thing grew on someone else, he might be curious and surprised, with a kind of "watching the show" mentality, but if it grew on himself, he would only feel disgusted!

"It actually grew eyeballs..."

Meng Yuan instinctively felt repulsed and disgusted by it, his brows furrowing. "Won't it grow a mouth, nose, and ears, and even start speaking?"

Things are developing in a direction he doesn't want to see, and all he can say is that time is running out for him.

If we don't find a way to deal with the deformed tumors on my body, at this rate, I'm afraid that in just a few months, these monstrous things will really take over!

However, putting aside the malformed sarcoma, Meng Yuan felt that his current condition was better than ever before.

He was physically strong and robust, with a powerful and efficient internal energy system. Moreover, the injury on his shoulder had healed, with flesh growing back and only some pink marks remaining, making him look somewhat delicate.

Looking at the panel, there have been quite a few changes:

[Meng Yuan]: Grayish-white - Ordinary (NPC)

[Race]: Human

[Level]: Second Tier (Minor Completion of Innate Martial Master)

[Job]: Available, job change is possible.

【HP】: 550/550

[Status]: Normal (contaminated by demonic energy).

[Techniques]: Black Pig Gluttony Technique (Perfected), Yin Wind Ghost-Slaying Blade Mastery (0/3500)

[Equipment]: Fine iron longsword (common weapon, good quality)

[Experience]: 490

[Public Beta Countdown]: 158 days

......

Now, after the upgrade, Meng Yuan's level has become Tier 2, and his health has more than doubled, and his HP has returned to normal, which is quite a cause for celebration.

In addition, the job change function has been enabled. As long as he obtains the job change book, he can change jobs.

Meng Yuan looked towards the distant battlefield.

At this moment, Gu Zhengyang and Wu Xingkong were still engaged in a magical duel.

The two exchanged blows, their fist imprints flying in a whirlwind, their flying swords and true fire roaring.

The scene was chaotic and intense.

Wu Xingkong controlled a crimson flying sword and a bronze furnace artifact. The former was fierce in attack, turning into a crimson stream of light that cut through the air, while the latter was both offensive and defensive, spewing out streams of true fire that transformed into firebirds to launch an attack.
