I'm not just human!

Moreover, it was the same room he used when he volunteered at the church. It had good lighting and a good location, with a direct view of the church hall through the second-floor window.

Once inside the office, Xia Fa casually closed the door and then sat down in the chair behind his desk.

He leaned his head against the back of the chair with its wool cushions, pretending to rest with his eyes closed, trying to concentrate his mind on his spine.

With his focused effort, in the hazy darkness of his consciousness, a faint electric current seemed to surge from the last vertebra of his spine.

But as soon as the current surged out, it seemed to sense that there was no need to use it, and immediately burrowed back into the coccyx.

Xiafa: ...

So the electric current only works when you're about to lose control or have a mental breakdown...

He refused to give up, so this time he tried a different approach, focusing his attention on the bulge in his lower back.

Perhaps the strange current sensed the threat and acted as he wished?

But after waiting patiently for a while, he found that there was still no movement at the spine and coccyx.

"It really didn't work..."

Just as Xia Fa was about to give up on this attempt and think of another method,

Suddenly, something completely unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the burning sensation he had gained from exercising, which was present in every cell of his body, began to... actively converge towards the location of the bee eggs!

Although these burning sensations combined are only as thick as chopsticks, far less intense than the burning sensations that engulf his entire body when he faces a crisis, they are inexhaustible and everlasting!

Soon, all the burning sensations in every cell of my body converged on the bee eggs in my lower back, and then, like an army besieging a giant beast, I launched an attack!

Xia Fa felt a burning sensation in his lower back, as if someone was burning the flesh of his lower back with a match.

But he couldn't care less about that, because almost the next moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the bee egg, the size of a steel ball, began to melt away like snow meeting magma after encountering the burning sensation!

Although the melting process was very slow, the burning sensation throughout the body combined to melt less than one percent of the bee egg's volume.

However, it also surprised Xia Fa enough, because these burning sensations located in the cells of his entire body... could be produced infinitely!

Although it will definitely consume physical strength, his physical strength recovery speed should be able to keep up!

"Wait, what is this...?"

Suddenly, Xia Fa sensed something was wrong, and his eyes lit up.

At the lower back, the part of the bee eggs that had been dissolved actually... transformed into a large amount of extraordinary power!

To his surprise, as the extraordinary power transformed from the bee eggs entered his body, a hazy gray mist suddenly rose in his mind, above which was a brilliant starry sky.

Immediately afterwards, at the boundary between the mist and the starry sky, the secret text representing the Etheric Source Pact automatically appeared!

Xia Fa's mind was uncontrollably focused on the secret text, while his brain directly absorbed the extraordinary power from the bee egg, causing his speed of understanding the text to skyrocket.

51%...52%...53%...

……

At the same time.

In a private room on the third floor of a restaurant on Risle Street.

This restaurant is decorated in a tropical coastal style, with seashells and coconut leaves hanging on the walls and large waves painted on the ceiling.

Veronica, the Poison Patriarch in human form, held a coconut juice in her hand while looking through the window toward the direction of St. Vivian's Church.

On her charming face, in her innocent, girlish eyes, a glimmer of expectation flickered.

"Xia Fa... help me hatch a royal-level Holy Poison Bee, and I won't treat you unfairly, no matter what you want from me..."

The Poison Patriarch Veronica murmured to herself, already sensing that after three days, the bee eggs had completely formed on Shafa's lower back.

Although she only dared to plant the bee eggs when Xia Fa was outside the church, once planted, the bee eggs would become part of the body of the parasitized person.

Therefore, even if the parasitized person enters the church they believe in, they cannot get rid of the bee eggs in their body.

Of course, this is on the premise that the gods are not paying special attention.

Veronica understood that although Shafa was special, so special that even she, as a physical being, couldn't figure out exactly what kind of "existence" Shafa was, at least for now, he couldn't attract the attention of the [Silver Universe], or rather, the false [Silver Universe].

After all, Xia Fa was just a mere Bacterium-level superhuman.

"Once I get a Royal-level Sacred Poison Bee, I can go and explore that place..."

The Poisonous Patriarch Veronica was filled with anticipation when suddenly, her curvaceous and alluring body trembled slightly.

A slight look of surprise appeared on her face, which possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

"Huh? Where did the bee eggs go?"

Chapter 87: The Entity is Stunned, Understanding Complete!

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you..."

After a brief moment of astonishment, Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, let out a soft breath, and a look of even greater joy appeared on her flawless face.

She had encountered bee eggs disappearing before; they had also disappeared when she planted bee eggs on powerful superhumans or supernatural beings.

Even if she planted the bee eggs on a ruler, the ruler could not remove them, so she did not understand why they disappeared.

In this world, different beings always have many mysterious or strange methods, and even as a physical being, she cannot possibly know them all.

But... under normal circumstances, any existence that can make her bee eggs disappear will eventually produce exceptionally powerful Holy Poison Bees!

She currently has a total of twelve queen-level sacred poison bees, almost all of which were acquired in this way.

Now, Veronica is almost certain that she can grow a Royal-level Sacred Poison Bee on Shafa, and this will be her only one.

We'll wait until 6 PM when Xia Fa comes out of St. Vivian's Church again...

……

"call--"

In the office, Xia Fa let out a long breath, his face beaming with unprecedented joy.

"Unexpectedly, the extraordinary power within the bee eggs, after being dissolved, actually helped me quickly understand the contents of the secret contract..."

He originally thought that it would take him at least five to ten days to fully understand the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source on his own.

After all, we are not in that high-risk, bizarre domain at the elephant level, nor have we encountered any unknown beings resembling heavily armored cavalry. Therefore, we will not experience that kind of stress-induced burning sensation in our bodies.

Therefore, the only way is to rely on the secret techniques and persevere through hard work.

But now, his understanding of the Etheric Source Secret Contract... has already reached 61%!

Correspondingly, about 30% of the bee eggs in the lower back area have been dissolved.

Only now has Xia Fa begun to perceive the difference.

The bee eggs, which were previously intact and seemed to be brimming with vitality, are now completely damaged and seem unable to hatch into Sacred Poison Bees.

Despite the damage, he also wanted to completely dissolve and absorb the remaining 70% of the bee eggs!

However... the rate at which that inexhaustible burning sensation within my body was produced had slowed down considerably.

Xia Fa could understand it; it's like a person encountering a wild beast in the forest, who, after running wildly for several kilometers, would inevitably run out of energy.

The burning sensation in his entire body's cells was probably like this; he initially attacked the bee eggs frantically, but now he's overexerted himself, and production has slowed down.

Fortunately, I have a solution.

A glint flashed in Xia Fa's eyes, and he stood up.

Looking at the small office space of about twenty square meters, he decided... to exercise!

Yesterday, due to my training in the Ghost Realm and my reckless act of writing secret texts in the shape of Chinese characters, my physical strength was almost completely depleted, and I was unable to exercise.

But after a good night's sleep, he was full of energy and eagerly awaited today's workout.

"Anyway, that burning sensation is produced through training. If we start training now, it should speed up the melting of the bee eggs, right?"

Without further ado, Xia Fa opened his mouth and blew on the ground, and a blue gale, carrying a trickle of water, swept swiftly across the office floor.

Although someone cleans every day, dust still accumulates, especially since he himself had stepped on the floor when he came in.

The clear streams of water swept across the floor, instantly turning murky. Carried away by the blue gale, they all fell into the flowerpots on the desk.

The floor instantly became as clean as new.

Xia Fa nodded in satisfaction, then bent down, placed his hands on the ground, and began to do push-ups.

"one two Three!"

As soon as he reached the third one, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he indeed felt an even greater burning sensation in his body, and it was all attacking the bee eggs in his lower back!

"It really works!"

Inspired, he persevered and continued his training.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

Ninety-eight.

"Ninety-nine."

"one hundred!!!"

Xia Fa suddenly shouted, pushed himself up with both hands on the ground, and stood up.

The familiar soreness returned, and even though I was exercising my arms and chest muscles, the soreness spread throughout my entire body.

Fortunately, the bee eggs on my lower back had been reduced to only one percent due to the burning sensation!

Xia Fa felt inexplicably nervous, unsure of what might happen if the bee eggs completely dissolved.

However, it shouldn't be like those people who cut off bee eggs without permission and die suddenly, right?

With a soft "pop," like a bubble or ice shell breaking, the bee egg, which had been surrounded by a burning sensation, finally shattered completely at the lower back, leaving only an empty shell!

He could hear the sound of surging waves, and then Xia Fa felt a tremendous, extraordinary power surging out from his lower back!

This extraordinary power was simply too vast, like a sea and a tide, and its total amount was comparable to the sum of the extraordinary ingredients he had eaten during the three meals he had randomly mooched over before!

Xia Fa didn't dare to delay and quickly lay back down on the sofa chair, closing his eyes.

In his mind, the secret text located between his mental body and astral body was shimmering faintly, as if it had been stimulated in some way.
