NOVEL NEXT Chapter 605 - 252 Method of Ascension_3
Fortunately, this time it finally worked!
[Level 3 Ability · Iron Wall]
[Iron Wall: During its duration, it can enhance defense, speed, spirit, constitution, shooting, and slowly recover from certain injuries (Side-effect: None)]
If I could get two more Extreme Speed Crystal Cores, then Iron Wall could be synthesized to the upper limit of Level 3!
That is to say, Wang Tao now just lacks the Ability Mastery. This ability is an active attack Ability, and there is no suitable option for now. I’ll have to pay more attention in the future...
In the end, Wang Tao extracted Iron Wall and merged it with the Omnipotent Crystal Core.
Only Berserk Enhancement and Yin and Yang Balance remained in his possession, with Berserk Enhancement already at +10; naturally, the Omnipotent Crystal Core was utilized on the Yin and Yang Balance.
Wang Tao didn’t have many Level 3 Omnipotent Crystal Cores on hand. Once Yin and Yang Balance reached +10, his Level 3 Omnipotent Crystal Cores were completely depleted.
He now had two Level 3 Abilities at +10, getting one step closer to Level 4!
After confirming that there was no suitable ability for the moment, Wang Tao turned his gaze to Jiang Shixue.
Jiang Shixue had been quietly sitting beside Wang Tao, petting the dog. Sensing Wang Tao’s gaze, she turned her head to look at him.
"Little Xue, how can you level up..."
Wang Tao ruffled her hair.
"I don’t know."
Jiang Shixue shook her head.
"I had a vague guess before, but after seeing the battle log of the military base, I feel that this guess... might actually be possible..."
Wang Tao suddenly said.
Jiang Shixue looked at him with some confusion.
Wang Tao continued:
"Your body is like a zombie’s, Little Xue, and zombies usually evolve through one of two methods: time or cannibalism! For the time method, you’ve been this way for so long and still show no signs of Ascension. So I think..."
Listening to Wang Tao’s explanation, Jiang Shixue understood and immediately shook her head.
"Brother, I don’t have the desire to eat people, and I don’t want to..."
If she ate people, then she would be no different from the zombies. She didn’t want to become a zombie!
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about! Of course, I wouldn’t let you eat people!"
Wang Tao tapped Jiang Shixue’s head and then continued.
"But I think, maybe you can drink some blood..."
"Ah?"
Jiang Shixue was somewhat startled.
"Wanna try? I’ll let some blood out for you!"
Wang Tao seemed eager to try.
He felt that his guess might be correct!
If Jiang Shixue’s body was similar to that of a zombie, it was highly likely that she would evolve just like zombies do!
"Brother, that doesn’t seem very good, you will be in pain..."
Jiang Shixue’s face wrinkled with concern.
"Haha, don’t worry, I have the Self-healing Ability, it’s not a big deal! Wait up!"
Wang Tao took action immediately. He first took out a bottle of nutrient solution, poured the nutrients out for Lightning, and kept the empty bottle. Then he took out a Surgical Knife. Everything he withdrew from the Space Backpack was sterile, so there was no need for disinfection.
Then, with the Surgical Knife in hand, Wang Tao lightly slashed his own wrist.
Pfft~
A drop of blood fell into the nutrient solution bottle, followed by more blood flowing out.
Wang Tao didn’t really feel the pain; after all, the Surgical Knife was very sharp, and he wasn’t afraid of pain.
"Brother..."
Jiang Shixue was somewhat at a loss seeing Wang Tao act so decisively. Lightning cocked its head, looking at its master, not understanding what he was doing.
Soon, the small bottle was filled with Wang Tao’s blood.
He immediately used a medical kit to stop his bleeding and activated Iron Wall Ability to regenerate his blood.
After confirming there were no issues with the wound, Wang Tao handed the small still-warm bottle of blood to Jiang Shixue.
"Little Xue, come and give it a try!"
Wang Tao significantly needed Jiang Shixue’s Combat Power, but she was still at Level Two, and there was vast potential for improvement.
If it really didn’t work, then so be it. But given the opportunity, Wang Tao certainly wanted to try.
"...I’ll try."
Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao with some heartache, not very sure whether it would work, but since it was Wang Tao’s kindness, she certainly didn’t want to waste it.
She took the small bottle, feeling the warmth of the blood, and emptied it in one gulp.
Gulp~
Jiang Shixue licked her lips.
"Brother’s blood is sweet..."
"..."
Hearing this, Wang Tao was at a loss for words.
Isn’t blood supposed to be salty?
He didn’t have diabetes!
Or was it Jiang Shixue’s psychological effect?
While Wang Tao was thinking this, Jiang Shixue suddenly said:
"Brother! I feel like... I can really Ascend now!"
"Haha, really!"
Wang Tao burst into happiness. This was a sudden inspiration after seeing the military base’s log. He just thought there was a possibility, and didn’t expect it to definitely work. After all, trying it would mean at most losing a bit of blood. But unexpectedly, it really worked!
"Brother, I’m going to sleep..."
Jiang Shixue suddenly leaned onto Wang Tao and then closed her eyes.
Wang Tao quickly held her, relieved when he confirmed that she had just fallen asleep.
"She should be normally Ascending..."
"But on second thought, if just my blood can let Little Xue Ascend, then the conditions are too simple! No Ascension Crystal Core is needed, not even any other Crystal Cores! Does that mean there’s no limit to Little Xue’s future Ascensions?"
Wang Tao was a little excited but quickly shook his head.
He knew the world wouldn’t allow him to "exploit bugs." Jiang Shixue definitely couldn’t simply Ascend by using a vial of blood. There must be some reason he didn’t know about... For example, if all her conditions were met, and she only needed something like an Ascension Crystal Core "key", and human blood was that key?
"Let’s wait and see when Little Xue wakes up..."
Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue, placing her on the bed. Then he looked down at Lightning at his feet.
"Should I try giving it some of my blood too?"
Wang Tao thought about it but decided against it. Lightning’s body had no impurities and was completely different from that of zombies; they likely wouldn’t evolve the same way.
