NOVEL NEXT Chapter 249 Simulation: Vitality 49
After making suggestions to the primitive people, Su Jie returned to reality.
It was still dark, the time was 4:03.
Su Jie sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the champion's prize from the Supreme Cup last night from the Qiankun Bag—a stellar-level energy core.
The golden exterior, the tiny facets.
In the dim environment, the core emitted a faint glow, instantly dispelling Su Jie's fatigue and making his entire body burst with excitement.
"Almost infinite energy..."
Su Jie communicated with the energy core through his mind, injecting his will into it, making it truly his own.
Om!
A minute later, the golden energy core slowly hovered from Su Jie's hands, melting like a liquid, and surrounded him.
With each breath Su Jie took, the golden liquid connected into a line, slowly entering his body through his mouth and nose, and finally splitting into three, residing respectively three inches below the navel at the Qihai acupoint, in the chest at the Danzhong acupoint, and between the eyebrows at the Yintang acupoint.
They seemed independent, yet were interconnected like broken lotus roots still joined by fibers.
The three were penetrated by the golden energy, and his own essence, qi, and spirit transformed at this moment and, with the rotation, condensed into one.
His vitality was also rising!
7, 8, 9, 10, 11...
When his vitality reached 20, Su Jie's physical body seemed to have reached its limit and could no longer improve.
Boom!
At that moment, golden energy emanated from Su Jie's mouth and nose, gathering into a black water buffalo surrounded by auspicious light and colorful celebratory clouds rising around it.
The two horns of the buffalo were like crescent moons, and right in the center of its forehead was a Taiji with Eight Trigrams diagram.
"Moo!"
When the buffalo called out, it was like a thunderclap, and as the sound waves transmitted, every cell in Su Jie's body seemed to transform, starting to evolve in a non-human direction.
The limit of 20 in vitality was instantly broken.
21, 22, 23, 24, 25...
It was not until 49 that Su Jie's vitality stopped increasing.
At that moment, Su Jie opened his eyes, feeling that his body was completely saturated and his spirit was perfectly whole, seemingly just a step away from the legendary Embryonic Breathing realm.
"49 vitality!"
Feeling his current vitality, Su Jie felt both surprised and as if it were only to be expected.
His Mental Realm was already extraordinary, and all his body needed to break through was the addition of the corresponding energy to transform.
Unexpectedly,
a mere energy core had saved him so much time in accumulation, truly a fortune.
"Moo!"
The water buffalo's call drew Su Jie's attention.
Su Jie picked up the water buffalo which was only the size of a basketball, looked it over, and thought to himself, "Is this my energy creature? The appearance of a water buffalo, it seems is related to the evolution of my spirit."
With a mere thought, the water buffalo transformed into a Han sword, then into a shield, followed by a long bow, and then into an AWM sniper rifle.
Ancient cold weapons, modern firearms, this creature could transform into all of these.
"Essentially, it's a mass of energy, so the transformations depend on the will," Su Jie thought to himself, "However, to transform into specific objects, one must also have a deep understanding of those objects, like firearms; to transform them, one must have a clear understanding of the structure and parts of the firearms, otherwise, it would just be a case model, completely unusable."
The AWM that he had just transformed into was just a model and completely unusable because he had no idea about the internals of its parts and structure.
Without understanding the principles, even though these energy creatures can transform into almost infinite objects, they cannot exert their true functions.
"It seems I need to document various kinds of knowledge from now on; otherwise, these energy creatures in my possession will only serve as power banks or cold weapons," he remarked.
Determined, Su Jie got up from the bed, retracted the energy creature into his body, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then communicated through the Ming Lun mark to enter the inner court.
On the familiar campus path, Su Jie once again encountered Zhang Manman. The two went to the cafeteria together to eat, and on the way, Chen Tian Yuzi joined them.
Zhang Manman sensed a more substantial aura on Su Jie and asked, "You've already absorbed the energy core, haven't you?"
"Yes," Su Jie nodded.
"How much has your life force increased?" Zhang Manman inquired somewhat proudly. "After I absorbed it, my life force reached the limit of my Minor Settled Realm, which is 5."
Ordinarily, in the Minor Settled Realm, the life force is 3. By absorbing the crystal heart, Zhang Manman had broken this limit and reached 5. In the Supreme Cup, due to insufficient resources, her life force stopped at 4. Last night, after absorbing the energy core, the enhancement brought about by the energy creature was to saturate the life force of that realm.
Subsequently, Zhang Manman also summoned her energy creature, a ten-centimeter-long centipede, but it was as clear and shining as crystal.
It was hard to imagine that Zhang Manman would like such a pet.
Perhaps it was an aftereffect of wearing that centipede outfit?
Chen Tian Yuzi flicked her loose blonde hair, somewhat proudly declaring, "Monitor, last night, my Mental Realm also broke through the Minor Settled, and after absorbing the energy core, my life force directly reached 4.5!"
"Congratulations!" Su Jie was pleased with her friends' progress. For students of their age, reaching a life force of 4.5 or 5 was truly astonishing!
"Su Jie, you haven't said how much yours increased. It couldn't have reached 8 or maybe even 9, could it?" Zhang Manman guessed. "Or perhaps, you must have reached 10!"
A life force of 10 was generally the limit for the Stable Realm.
This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.
If Su Jie had broken through to 10, the two girls could accept it, given that Su Jie was unusual anyway. Even after last night's Supreme Cup, Su Jie had become synonymous with miracles according to some students.
Punching the Feng Family!
Kicking the Jiang Family!
Some enthusiasts even created online nicknames for Su Jie such as "Family Killer" and "Conglomerate Nemesis."
After thinking for a moment, Su Jie decided to be honest and declared, "My life force has reached 49."
"How much?"
Zhang Manman stopped in her tracks, staring incredulously at Su Jie's back.
"49."
"Are you serious?" Zhang Manman was full of question marks. Could the energy from the energy core be that much? Could the enhancement be achieved in one fell swoop?
"Perhaps I'm a bit special," Su Jie said with a shrug.
"Monitor, have you broken through to the fetal breath?" Chen Tian Yuzi took a while to regain her composure, excitedly asking.
"No," Su Jie shook her head. "Though my mind and energy have reached saturation, I'm still some distance from forming the holy fetus."
The holy fetus is a combination of the mind and energy.
To form the holy fetus is a physical change, the first step of the mind communicating with the material realm.
The first contact between mind and energy is a major experiment, meticulous and extremely rigorous, even more so than various scientific experiments.
Su Jie knew his current knowledge was insufficient.
Although he had reached a point where he could apply to Ming Lun for methods to enter the fetal breath realm, Su Jie felt he should first explore more possibilities.
Following procedures might be safe, but adhering strictly to rules would only mean following others' footsteps.
He had his own ambitions.
