Chapter 11 Medicine King Physique?
Carrying two briefcases, Zhou Ze returned to the training hall and locked the door from the inside, shutting down all communication.
I don't know why, but I used to work so hard to improve myself, but now I feel unusually calm. Maybe it's because it came too easily, or maybe the cheat code has given me confidence and made me complacent.
"Click~"
Zhou Ze opened the combination lock box containing the dragon blood, took out the wooden box inside, and lifted it to reveal a test tube secured with foam and plugged with a stopper.
"This thing seems to hurt a lot; even Luo Feng couldn't bear it and passed out..."
Zhou Ze smiled, pulled out the stopper, and covered the test tube with his mental energy. The golden blood was drawn directly from the test tube and floated in the air without leaking a single drop.
He quickly applied the golden liquid to his upper body, and soon Zhou Ze felt the areas where it had been applied begin to heat up.
"here we go!"
Zhou Ze took a deep breath, feeling the warm currents flowing along the applied skin and quickly integrating into every part of his body.
This heat flow continued to intensify, and body temperature continued to rise!
Pain immediately descended upon him; Zhou Ze felt as if he were being indiscriminately tortured, or as if countless ants were tearing at every part of his body, inside and out.
A tingling, numb, hot, and swollen sensation, accompanied by continuous convulsions throughout the body...
"This feeling of improvement is amazing!!"
The extreme pain in my body was unbearable, but the feeling of constantly growing stronger even overcame that pain!
Zhou Ze could clearly feel the impurities and waste cells in his body being constantly expelled, forming dirt on his skin. The strength of his tendons, fascia, muscles, skin, and internal organs was constantly changing.
Having experienced countless life-or-death crises in the wilderness, he had little chance of improvement. But now, he could clearly feel his physical abilities constantly improving. This feeling was truly wonderful; even pain brought him pleasure.
What is pain? It's just the path we've traveled. If this pain can continuously improve his strength, he's willing to continue like this forever.
Before he acquired the cheat code, no one could understand his despair, even though he couldn't reach the advanced warrior level despite his best efforts. In the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a martial artist is already a remarkable achievement, and even among martial artists, an intermediate warrior is a rare existence.
If he weren't a time traveler, if he weren't familiar with this world, he would at most be a little dissatisfied. But he happens to be familiar with everything, knows about this primordial universe, knows about immortal gods, knows about virtual companies, and knows that this is Swallowing Star.
How could he accept his ordinariness so readily?
……
Painful feelings always seem to linger, while joyful feelings always pass quickly.
As the effects of the dragon blood medicine completely wore off, Zhou Ze stood up with a hint of regret.
"I don't know what level my physical fitness has reached now."
Zhou Ze walked towards the punching power testing machine in the corner of the training hall. This punching power testing machine was the highest grade one he had bought, capable of withstanding the punching power of a high-level war god.
He was arrogant at the time, thinking that he couldn't stay at the general level forever, and that if he was going to buy something, he should buy the best. Now that he thinks about it, he made the right choice.
Shaking his head, Zhou Ze moved. Without any special means of exerting force, he simply unleashed his brute strength to the extreme. His punch, like a cannonball, slammed into the punching bag with a sonic boom.
Bang!
After a muffled sound rang out, Zhou Ze immediately looked at the display screen:
"69102KG".
The minimum weight for a beginner-level War God is 6.4 kilograms. This is already far beyond the minimum weight for a War God, and it definitely qualifies as a War God.
Bang!
Zhou Ze threw another punch, and the numbers on the boxing test machine changed again:
"622037KG".
This exceeds the basic punching power of a high-level war god by more than 100,000 kilograms, and the average mid-level war god's power exertion is generally around this level.
"Compared to the significant improvement in my physical fitness, my mental strength has only improved moderately."
Zhou Ze controlled a throwing knife and slammed it into the punching power testing machine. With a "clang," the force was displayed on the screen.
"29343KG".
Zhou Ze had previously tested his mental attack, which was around 25,000 kilograms, meaning that the intensity of his mental attack had increased by about 4000 kilograms.
"Forget it, mental strength is passively improved as physical fitness is enhanced, so any improvement is already good enough. Mental strength is much harder to improve than physical fitness, not to mention I don't even have a method for cultivating mental strength."
After briefly testing his approximate strength after using the dragon blood, Zhou Ze took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and opened the other combination lock box.
Compared to the protective measures of Dragon Blood, the Heart of Grass and Trees was relatively casual, after all, it was truly incredibly tough. To Zhou Ze's surprise, there was even a throwing knife left next to the Heart of Grass and Trees!
Judging from the model number on the throwing knife, this is an SS-grade throwing knife.
"This little guy is really thoughtful..." Zhou Ze felt a warmth in his heart.
The SS throwing knife transformed into a bolt of lightning, piercing the egg-sized piece of thousand-year-old willow heartwood. The essence liquid inside slowly flowed out and was controlled by Zhou Ze to float in front of him.
After absorbing all the essence, Zhou Ze opened his mouth and swallowed it all at once.
Compared to the pain of using dragon blood, the essence of thousand-year-old willow heartwood brought no pain at all. Instead, it brought a cool and comfortable feeling, as if countless jade hands were massaging me.
This transformation was even more intense than the previous one brought about by the dragon blood. The body underwent continuous transformation both inside and out, with genes and cells constantly being elevated...
Zhou Ze could clearly feel his mental power being passively enhanced.
After a long while, the transformation ended, and Zhou Ze admitted that he preferred this gentler method to improving his strength through pain.
Next, Zhou Ze tested his strength again.
His mental strength hadn't improved much, but he had at least reached the advanced warrior level. The improvement in his physical attributes, however, was quite unexpected for Zhou Ze.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand kilograms? That's a pretty dramatic increase! Could it be that I have some kind of 'Medicine King' physique, allowing me to absorb the effects of elixirs and rare medicinal herbs much better than ordinary people?"
……
It's already almost mid-August.
The closer it got to that time, the heavier Zhou Ze's heart became.
As usual, I looked up at the sky, which was also dotted with stars. Since the Great Nirvana, the stars in the sky are much brighter than before the Great Nirvana.
"At this point in time, not long after Luo Feng bought the Water of Life, the Golden Horned Beast will descend upon Earth!"
When I read novels and fan fiction before, I always thought that Luo Feng would have a smooth journey like in the original story, but now that he has actually transmigrated, it's really hard for him not to worry.
Moreover, he will then face a choice: whether or not to tell Luo Feng where the Golden Horned Beast's life core is located.
If I tell him, the crisis on Earth will most likely be resolved; but if I don't, what if... I'm really afraid of what might happen...
"call……"
After returning from the clutches of the King of Hell, Zhou Ze increasingly felt that sometimes knowing the plot and the future was not necessarily a good thing.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Luo Feng, but rather that because of his presence, Luo Feng hadn't followed the original path, so some unexpected events were to be expected.
