“Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded as he kept one of the bottles of potion away.
As Jiang Fei held the bottle of the remaining potion in his hand, he lifted his head and chugged down all the yellow liquid contained within.
Although the potion tasted alright with a tinge of sourness and sweetness, Jiang Fei did not care about how it tasted. He knew he would soon experience extreme pain.
This was not the first time Jiang Fei drank the Bio-Potion. He was well-prepared for what was about to happen. Jiang Fei looked for an open s.p.a.ce. He then sat down and mentally prepared himself for what happened next.
“Ahh…” After approximately three minutes, the effects of the potion kicked in. Jiang Fei rolled around the floor as the pain consumed him.
The feeling of energy coursing through his body was akin to hundreds of thousands of ants biting his body. However, the flesh torn apart would very quickly be regenerated. The mix of pain and numbness made Jiang Fei want to die.
Jiang Fei’s special talent resurfaced yet again. Most normal humans would have fainted or died from such pain. However, Jiang Fei had a shocking level of willpower and tolerance. Not only was his awareness heightened, his body could feel things even more intensely. Under normal circ.u.mstances, this would be a huge benefit to him. However, right now, Jiang Fei experienced even greater torture from the heightened senses.
The potion made from a Level 5 being was much stronger than what Jiang Fei had antic.i.p.ated. Very soon, Jiang Fei lost track of time. He felt as if he had been suffering for thousands of years. He imagined that this was what evil souls had to go through in h.e.l.l.
In Jiang Fei’s consciousness, he did not know how much time had pa.s.sed. When the pain in his body started disappearing gradually, the soothing sensation made Jiang Fei feel very elated.
As the pain faded away, Jiang Fei leaned against a big tree. He could not help it. After being tortured by the tremendous pain, he could not even stand up.
Jiang Fei looked up at the sky and wondered how long he had been tortured. However, as the tree branches were positioned tightly together, Jiang Fei could not see the sky at all. However, it was apparently very dark in the forest.
“0541. How much time had pa.s.sed since I drank the potion?” Jiang Fei asked.
“It has already been eight hours!” 0541 answered.
“I will die from drinking this potion one of these days…” Jiang Fei said. The stronger the potions, the longer the duration he had to suffer.
“Don’t worry, captain. The potion’s technique is very developed. It’s very safe and it won’t kill you!” After all, 0541 was still an Artificial Intelligence. It did not realize that Jiang Fei was being sarcastic. Therefore, it immediately started explaining to Jiang Fei.
“What’s my Energy Level now?” Jiang Fei asked. This was Jiang Fei’s primary concern.
“Once you recover, your Energy Level will reach High-Tier Level 4. You will soon be able to breakthrough Pinnacle Level 4!” 0541 answered.
“Really?!” Jiang Fei was pleasantly surprised by the answer.
When Jiang Fei drank the potion, he was only at Lower-Tier Level 4. However, a single bottle of potion was able to boost him to High-Tier Level 4 and even Pinnacle Level 4. This was nearly a three Level increment.
“Of course. The potion is made from a Level Five being after all. The flesh contains power beyond imagination.” 0541 laughed.
“Awesome!” Jiang Fei tightened his fists. For the additional boost in power, the pain he endured was all worth it.
“Once you recover your energy, your combined attack power will reach Pinnacle Level 4. However, if you fight against a Pinnacle Level 4 martial artist, you still have a higher chance of losing. However, if you fight against metahumans who lack techniques, there is nothing for you to worry about!” 0541 explained.
“D*mn!” Jiang Fei was pleased. “When can I drink the second bottle?”
After all, Jiang Fei had already reached High-Tier Level 4. If he drank another bottle, he would be able to breakthrough to Pinnacle Level 4.
“You would have to wait at least another month. Your body’s strength needs to align with your Energy level. Only then will you be able to drink the Bio-Potion again. Otherwise, your body might be affected by the additional burden!” 0541 explained.
“One month…” Jiang Fei thought to himself. Even if the Mutants acquired the Bio-Technology, they could not possibly master it in a month. Therefore, Jiang Fei still had time to wait.
After approximately an hour, Jiang Fei had somehow recovered his energy. He pulled himself off of the ground with the help of a nearby tree and forcefully moved his limbs. After eating a bit of food, he sat down again to recover his energy.
After the whole ordeal of struggling, the sky had turned completely dark. As Jiang Fei was still in the forest, he could see nothing but darkness all around him.
Jiang Fei gathered some dry branches around him and used his fire-based Origin Force to light them up. A bonfire started burning brightly next to him.
“I don’t think recovering fully today is possible. I should be able to fully recover by tomorrow morning!” Jiang Fei thought as he examined himself. He still felt very fatigued. It seemed that the potion affected him much worse this time. His body was thoroughly exhausted from the ordeal.
Jiang Fei had nothing else to do as he sat against a big tree to recover. When the time came, Jiang Fei logged into the game.
After logging into the game, Jiang Fei yet again appeared in the Naga Queen’s soft couch. When Jiang Fei forcefully disconnected the day before, the game had not pausd. The Naga Queen naturally did not lie in bed to wait for Jiang Fell all day. Therefore, the palace was completely empty at the moment.
“It looks like destroying the base did not affect the game much…” Jiang Fei mumbled to himself. The base was only one of the many experimental bases. Although researchers in the other bases were also researching on how to create man-made souls, they did not cross paths with Jiang Fei. Therefore, Jiang Fei did not want to mess with them either.
“Haih! Let’s talk about it when we return.” Jiang Fei directly activated the Gate of Abyss in the Naga Queen’s palace.
As Jiang Fei used the Holy Naga City’s teleportation point to get here, he had unlocked the ability to teleport here directly. He would be able to get here more conveniently in the future. For now, Jiang Fei had to rush back to the City of Sinners as he had another match to compete in.
Jiang Fei directly teleported from the Nephilim’s King Palace to the City of Sinners. After travelling not too far away from the city, Jiang Fei arrived at the PvP arena for professional players.
Jiang Fei’s match was the first match in the morning. His opponent was a very special partic.i.p.ant.
When Jiang Fei and the partic.i.p.ant stood onstage, Jiang Fei received a system notification before the host even started speaking.
“Ding! Discovered a Cauldron of the Ancient Kingdom—Spirit!”
When Jiang Fei received the notification, his opponent also appeared to be shocked. Clearly, he had received the same notification that Jiang Fei had possessed one of the cauldrons.
