Chapter 227 Simulation: The Angel Breaking Out of the Cocoon
[Dragon's Blood: The essence of a dragon's blood is the most precious product of the dragon clan, capable of transforming the human body, allowing it to break through its physical limits.]
[Note 1: This item can be diluted for use in medicinal baths, and it is even better when used by both men and women!]
[Note 2: If you wish to consume it directly, please ensure that your Mental Realm has reached a state of tranquility or above, otherwise, there is a 99% chance of explosive death!]
[Note 3: Please do not perform any strange biological experiments on the essence, or you might create monsters that do not exist on Earth; Minglun Martial School will take a series of actions against the relevant personnel! If you are confident you can handle Ming Lun, Ming Lun welcomes your (or your team's) challenge!]
Upon seeing the first note, Chen Tian Yuzi chuckled, "This note seems a bit indecent."
Zhang Manman placed a hand on her hip and glanced at Chen Tian Yuzi, saying, "What's the big deal? Perhaps it's because during reproduction, the blood flow in the human body quickens, making it easier for the pores all over the body to open up, thereby achieving maximum absorption."
As for matters between men and women, even though Zhang Manman had no personal experience, they had covered it so clearly in biology classes, and if you looked at it objectively, it was just for the transfer of genes.
As long as your thoughts aren't dirty, there won't be any embarrassing situations.
Jos, however, focused his attention on the third note, "Does this mean that someone had acquired the essence of other creatures in the past and then conducted research in a biological laboratory? Creating monsters?"
"Perhaps," Su Jie said in a deep voice, "after all, there seemed to have been news about lizard people, but later everyone said it was fake. Now it looks like there must have been something to it."
After storing the essence in the Qiankun Bag, Su Jie looked at the map and said, "We are still inside the circle, so let's wait here to catch whatever comes unwittingly. What do you all think?"
Jos: "I have no objection."
Zhang Manman: "Agreed."
Chen Tian Yuzi: "Same here."
Thus, the four of them waited in the cave.
But none of them were idle.
Su Jie was meditating, while Zhang Manman found some fishing rods in a box on the clearing and started fishing with Chen Tian Yuzi in the nearby lake.
Since they had no bait, they could only wait for willing fish to bite.
Meanwhile, Jos was busy matching various Cultivation Techniques and skills to bolster his own strength.
"Gurgle!"
A head popped out from slumber.
Thwack!
An arrow pierced through the head in an instant. Cоntеnt sоurсеd frоm МV4LЕМРYR – Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе.
In its place appeared a brown box.
"Looks like it's a lone wolf."
Jos first scanned the water surface to ensure no one was around before diving in to bring the box to shore, only to be disappointed after rummaging through it and failing to find any treasures that could be taken back to reality.
Over the next period, the group hunted down three waves of players but did not find any special items, and since the area had shrunk, they were outside the circle and had to move inward.
Through the narrow, rugged passage, Su Jie and the others returned to the undulating sea surface.
Perched on the exposed rocks were two players keeping watch; upon seeing Su Jie and the others, they immediately shot arrows and cast skills.
But they all missed Su Jie and his team.
"Phew!"
Su Jie exhaled, and a streak of blue light decapitated the two players, turning them into two boxes.
"Fishing over our heads, it's your misfortune," Zhang Manman climbed onto the rock, stepping on the two boxes with a hehe and a smile.
For ordinary people, being in the water with nowhere to leverage, they are naturally at the mercy of others.
But Su Jie had a flying sword, which he could spit out in a breath, unleashing a streak of blue light flashing faster than a bullet from a gun, and fleshly bodies couldn't withstand it.
After that, the four casually climbed aboard a boat and rowed towards the center of the circle.
The opponents they encountered along the way generally had a life force of above 2 in their evolved spiritual and physical beings, and with the enhancement of their equipment, their strengths generally ranged between 3.5 and 4, all high-quality players.
However, Su Jie possessed a flying sword, and to other players, it was a dimension-reducing strike.
One breath, one slay, nothing more to say.
It's true that in these teams, there definitely were people who had acquired various treasures that could be taken back to reality from the previous rounds, but perhaps due to the fear of losing them in the game, they didn't bring their more precious items—
After achieving victory, Su Jie and the others directly returned to the conference room, starting to divide their sole acquisition of the round, the fist-sized dragon's blood.
Since the dragon was slain by Su Jie, as per usual, the others paid to purchase their shares.
The dragon's blood was split into four parts, one for each person.
However, everyone chose not to absorb it right away and instead stored it in their own storage devices, waiting for the end of the final championship match before considering how to use it.
"The final championship match will certainly be filled with experts, and some teams confident in winning may bring special treasures," said Zhang Manman, contemplating their situation. She decided to take the centipede suit into the last round. "Su Jie, if you win the final victory, you'll have to help lick my box."
Su Jie gave an OK sign.
Jos didn't have any special sets on hand, and the only thing he could bring was the energy-storing bracelet.
After much consideration, Chen Tian Yuzi took out the Angel's Wings, began a spiritual communication, and started to merge with them.
Suddenly, a white glow, like a silken cocoon, enveloped him, transforming him into a glowing egg. The light flickered on and off, revealing the curled-up silhouette of Chen Tian Yuzi.
Crack!
Three minutes later, a curved crack appeared on the eggshell, which then expanded continuously until it split in half, unveiling Chen Tian Yuzi's flawless body within.
At that moment, the clothes on her body had dissolved away, but her originally black short hair had turned into long golden locks, draping down to her knees, covering the key areas.
A pair of white wings emerged on her back, which unfolded slightly, dazzling like fireflies and turning the eggshell into countless specks of light that converged on the wings.
"Ah—"
Chen Tian Yuzi opened her eyes, feeling her new state, and quickly hugged her chest, curling up, "Don't look at me!"
Su Jie's eyes were vacant, having clearly entered the sea of his mental realm the moment Chen Tian Yuzi emerged from the cocoon.
Jos, on the other hand, quirked his lips, "There's nothing much to see. It's like wearing an extremely revealing swimsuit. If you go to a holiday beach, you'll find plenty of folks wearing even less than you."
Su Jie took out a set of cultivator's clothes from the Qiankun Bag and threw them to Chen Tian Yuzi, saying, "These are clothes from the second round of cultivators, make do with them for now."
"Thank you, class leader."
Chen Tian Yuzi immediately turned around and quickly put on the clothes, sufficiently covering herself.
Even though the wings on her back appeared solid, they passed through the clothes without any hindrance, not affecting her movements in any way.
"Cough cough, Chen Tian Yuzi, aren't you worried that if we all get eliminated in the match, the Angel's Wings will be lost as well?" asked Jos.
"In the final championship, I naturally have to contribute too, can't just win by lying down," Chen Tian Yuzi earnestly replied, then looked at Su Jie, "And please rest assured, class leader, even if we all get eliminated, I will repay the cost of the Angel's Wings regularly in the future."
Su Jie did not dwell on the topic but instead asked, "Your life force has reached 2.9 now, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Tian Yuzi nodded. "The Angel's Wings have already begun to transform my body, greatly increasing my life force. Currently, my Mental Realm hasn't reached Minor Tranquility, so 2.9 is the limit I can reach. However, as the transformation continues over time, the limit of my body will increase, and maybe even without entering tranquility, my life force can break through above 3."
After breaking out of the cocoon, Chen Tian Yuzi underwent a significant metamorphosis, her life force soaring to 2.9, making her the strongest member in the four-person team besides Su Jie!
To say she ascended to the heavens in one step would not be an overstatement.
Ordinary people can only reach a life force of 3 when they enter Minor Tranquility, but with the Angel's Wings, Chen Tian Yuzi's physical body has already left the category of ordinary humans and is evolving towards something more perfect.
"Yuzi, focus more on spiritual cultivation in the future," Su Jie reminded her. "Don't become complacent just because you suddenly gained power."
"Yes, I understand," Chen Tian Yuzi nodded vigorously. The power she had suddenly acquired was like treasure falling from the sky. To use it perfectly, her mental strength had to be reinforced, or it could easily harm others and herself.
"Can you retract those wings?" Zhang Manman remembered that when Feng Yuxuan used the wings, he didn't always have them out.
"I can."
Chen Tian Yuzi closed her eyes, controlled them with her mind, and the wings on her back slowly disappeared into her back, "It's easy, just think about it, and it can be done."
However, although the wings were retracted, the long golden hair that reached down to her knees showed no signs of reverting to its original black.
"Your hair?" Jos pointed out.
"It seems to be out of my control," Chen Tian Yuzi frowned tightly. "It seems that when I was absorbing the Angel's Wings, my hair was affected by the energy and underwent a fundamental change. It's not like the Angel's Wings, which are an energy-based organ."
Zhang Manman grasped the edge of the conference table, pulled herself and the chair beneath her closer to Chen Tian Yuzi, took a strand of the golden hair in hand, and said, "It's very smooth and silky, just like gold, but even smoother than gold, and it has a faint fragrance..."
"I can't quite place it, but it's very pleasing to the senses."
Su Jie did not stroke the hair like Zhang Manman did but instead speculated, "Maybe you have a higher compatibility with the Angel's Wings than Feng Yuxuan, which is why your hair color and length changed."
Jos speculated further, "I think the Angel that Feng Yuxuan and the others defeated must have been female."
Zhang Manman, however, was concerned, "Long hair can actually hamper combat."
In close combat, long hair could impede one's own movement and was easily grasped by the enemy, potentially leading to a disastrous defeat.
In an arena battle, the length of the hair didn't matter much since the students in the school tended to follow the code of martial ethics and refrain from using moves like groin kicks, throat locks, eye gouging, and likewise, wouldn't grab hair.
But in life-or-death fights, long hair could be a fatal liability.
Enemies won't play by the rules of martial ethics.
"I don't think that's too much of a problem," Su Jie had a different opinion. "After all, angels can fly."
