Cosmic-Level Demon God

"Pain! So much pain..."

In the special care ward of the First People's Hospital, Lin Xiong gritted his teeth, his face twisted.

Beside him, Jiang Shijie and Wu Yong shivered inwardly; it was too much to bear.

Two burly male nurses held Lin Xiong's arm, applying medicine.

A cotton swab soaked with purple liquid was spread over the charred skin surface.

Like dropping a bowl of water into a hot oil pan, the hardened dead skin crackled, turning into fine powder.

"Fortunately, it's not too serious a problem. Your life force has been suppressed, causing slow recovery. Rest well over the next few days and consume high-energy nutrients."

The male nurse said gruffly.

The deep, thick voice made Lin Xiong, whose arm was tightly held in close proximity, want to cry.

Hospitals in Heng Province, how can the angels in white be like this?

They're all big and burly, more formidable than me!

"Look all tall and sturdy, yet you're crying out in pain? Acting like a woman!"

After applying the medicine, the other male nurse tossed the disposable materials into the trash can and patted Lin Xiong's backside, causing him to tremble.

"Don't touch water for three hours, and no more rough movements, or it'll scar easily."

Only after the two wolf-like male nurses left did Jiang Shijie and Wu Yong dare to breathe deeply.

Earlier, they were afraid of drawing attention and absorbing the fire for Lin Xiong.

"Old Lin is really 'lucky in love'."

Wu Yong was the first to jokingly comment.

"Get lost!"

Lin Xiong glared with bull-like eyes, cursing:

"That kid is so sly. Initially, I thought it wasn't much, relying on life force to self-heal. But it got worse, numb and itchy, couldn't exert any strength in the arm..."

After losing to Qin Shi, he initially wanted Hela to drop a medical kit to deal with the injuries simply.

It turned out that even specialized level life force couldn't heal the charred skin back to growth.

No matter how Lin Xiong tried to circulate his energy, the injury was like a blocked river, hard to unclog.

It's known that after breaking through specialized level, the index of blood and flesh activity reaches a peak, greatly enhancing the purity of life force.

Even a powerful specialized level can regenerate limbs, even if an arm is cut off.

Even with a crushed heart, one can survive for a certain duration.

But Qin Shi's punch thoroughly hurt Lin Xiong, losing the specialized level mortal body's self-healing effect.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Shijie immediately contacted the best hospital in the Tai'an Region.

After various instrument checks, it was found to be a false alarm.

Qin Shi's "killer move" penetrated the specialized domain, breaking the "Pure Whale Armor," and violently "extinguished" part of the blood and flesh's vigorous activity, causing this situation.

"You must be careful! Old Lin's hardness skill in horizontal training is renowned in the Sequence Army, and even he couldn't withstand it!"

Wu Yong's expression was solemn as he earnestly warned.

"Scholar, what are you talking about? I was careless! Didn't guard! Had I known he was this sly, I would have directly activated a hundred percent defense stance..."

Lin Xiong said indignantly.

"I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Shijie stopped the usual bickering of these "frenemies," focusing on Lin Xiong's charred arm.

"Qin Shi's 'Warfare Strategy' should be around eighty layers, initially showing its damage potential.

I've heard from masters that when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the Fourth Battle Group reigns supreme. Without armor, two punches would lay you down, and if fighting for life, the outcome is worse."

Wu Yong was not too convinced, as he was a hard-core member of the Seventh Battle Group and couldn't stand this:

"In the Star Sea Era of large army formations, who fights hand-to-hand! Old Jiang didn't wear armor, considering that kid was still a minor, unwilling to crush him with warrior training qualities."

Lin Xiong opened his mouth, recalling the middle-aged man he encountered at the gate of Nanhuang Daoist School.

Seemed ordinary, yet had an aura familiar only to soldiers who had served in Battle Groups.

That scent from crawling out of a sea of blood!

"I think..."

Lin Xiong hesitated.

"Just rest well! I'll tell the head nurse later that you're irritable, with post-battle psychological issues, to assign you more male nurses!"

Wu Yong laughed as he dragged Jiang Shijie away.

"Scholar, you mother..."

Lin Xiong was so upset his mouth twisted, yet helpless, could only curse a few words and follow doctor's orders.

...

...

In the next two days, Qin Shi didn't step out of the quiet room.

Entering specialized domain, his mortal body underwent complete transformation, no longer the original flesh form.

After breaking through, Qin Shi experienced a strange illusion; as the hands of the clock moved, he seemed to grow stronger and stronger.

This speed far exceeded the cultivation growth!

"Becoming a specialized level is such a wonderful feeling."

Qin Shi's eyes revealed a look of intoxication, convinced that no entertainment or pleasure in this world could surpass the present moment.

Were it expressed in data form, there should be lights of level-up above his head, experience bars continuously filling, "ding ding ding" constantly sounding.

"All power, all insights are being absorbed."

Qin Shi closed his eyes, the cultivation furnace roared, as if running at full power, embracing a stage of rebirth, rampantly surging blood and flesh activity, all crushed, refined.

This process lasted long, often taking several hours to condense a trace of "essence."

Like a ray of light, it quickly merged into the perfect core governing the mortal body's bones and flesh, making it ever brighter.

With deeper "fusion," various anomalies began to appear.
