Chapter 74 Qi and Blood Level 8.2!
The back street of the Mechanical and Electrical Vocational School.
Wang Xing walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping over the rows of mecha parts recycling shops on both sides.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, from the side, at the entrance of a narrow, dark firebreak alley, a hand wearing a black leather glove reached out, grabbed Wang Xing's shoulder with lightning speed, and pulled him in sharply!
Wang Xing reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively lowering his body, unifying his waist and hips, and the soft force of the [Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power] instantly exploded on his shoulders, like an eel dissipating the pulling force.
At the same time, he lowered his shoulders and elbows, and his right fist, accompanied by a dull whistling sound, went straight for his opponent's abdomen.
"Stop, stop, stop! It's me!"
A hurried, low cry came from deep within the alley.
Wang Xing's fist stopped abruptly just three centimeters from his opponent's abdomen.
He looked closer and asked in surprise, "Senior Wang? What are you doing here?"
"What did you eat to grow up like this? With that kind of strength, if I hadn't pulled back quickly, I would have broken two of your ribs today."
Wang Xing withdrew his fist and sized up Wang Yangming.
The other person was wearing a pure black cut-resistant windbreaker, with a tight-fitting tactical uniform underneath.
"Tian Shu Mecha Hunter?" Wang Xing recognized the other party's outfit at a glance.
"Not bad, junior, you have some discernment." Wang Yangming chuckled, pulling up his collar to cover the badge. "It's an internship; actually, I'm mostly just here to get by on my graduation project."
Immediately, Wang Yangming's expression turned serious, and his eyes sharpened: "As for you, Wang Xing. You're a champion from one of the top 100 schools, why aren't you at school preparing for the provincial unified exam in half a month? What are you doing wandering around the neighboring vocational school for electromechanical engineering? Do you know who you are now? Countless eyes in the city are watching you. If anything goes wrong, those old men in the Rongcheng Education Bureau might tear this whole street down!"
"I'm here to find someone to confirm some of my guesses." Wang Xing looked at him frankly. "Last night, I met Chen Mo in the Gold Ranking Tournament of the Beidou Metaverse."
"You were matched with him?" Wang Yangming was surprised.
"Yes, Gold Three Stars, Double Twelve stats. But that's not the point." Wang Xing took a deep breath. "The point is, his mech used a mutation modification, fusing the claws of the [Bone-Splitter Hound] and the crystal core of the [Blood-Eyed Spider].
Wang Yangming rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache: "This kid is really deeply involved... But how come you, a high school senior, know so much about aberration modification? You can even recognize the components of the Riftbone Dog at a glance?"
"Because an acquaintance of mine also did the same modification."
Wang Xing did not hide anything and gave a general account of Sun Donglai's affairs and the origin of his own Yuan Core Qi Blood Chest Cannon.
"Sun Donglai, Chen Mo... they've all been to the same place." Wang Xing looked directly into Wang Yangming's eyes. "At the end of the back street, Fengrui Mecha Modification Workshop, Meng Rui."
After listening to Wang Xing's account, a brief silence fell over the firebreak alley.
Wang Yangming stopped chewing his gum, leaned against the red brick wall, and after a long while, he let out a long breath, looking at Wang Xing with a complicated expression.
"You kid... you're a real freak. A high school student, all by himself, and through just a few encounters and inquiries, you've uncovered the clues that our Tian Shu team had been investigating for half a month."
Wang Yangming took out an electronic document from his pocket, swiped it twice on the tactical terminal on his wrist, and projected a light screen visible only to the two of them.
"You're right. Meng Rui graduated from Jinling Mecha University and opened this modification shop in Chengdu three years ago. We at Tian Shu have been keeping an eye on him for a long time."
Wang Yangming pointed at Meng Rui's portrait on the screen, his eyes icy: "This guy is very clean. The Abyss Monster organization that he smuggled in was transported through special mental barrier boxes. We couldn't get any evidence before the spot transaction. Moreover, the people standing behind him are very likely those lunatics from the 'Black Armor Alliance' who are scavenging for a living in the Wild Starfield."
"Black Armor Alliance..." Wang Xing pondered the name, sensing the heavy danger within it.
"So, listen to my advice." Wang Yangming reached out and placed a hand on Wang Xing's shoulder, his expression extremely serious. "This matter is beyond the scope of what a senior high school student should handle. Your primary task now is to digest the resources from the Hundred Schools Competition and then achieve a good ranking in the provincial exam in two weeks. As for Meng Rui and Chen Mo, leave them to me. This is our responsibility at Tian Shu, and it's also my graduation assessment."
Wang Xing looked at Wang Yangming and remained silent for a moment.
He could sense the pride and sense of responsibility emanating from Wang Yangming.
The other party is an elite from the Magic University and a mecha hunter, so they are certainly qualified to say that.
"it is good."
Wang Xing finally nodded. "Senior, I can stay out of it. But if there's anything I can do to help, or... if you find out where Sun Donglai is, please let me know."
"Don't worry, as long as you go to the provincial exam and the college entrance exam safely, that will be the biggest help to me."
Wang Yangming breathed a sigh of relief, smiled again, and patted Wang Xing on the back. "Alright, hurry up and go back to school. This godforsaken place smells too much like engine oil; it's not suitable for a soon-to-be top university student like you."
After saying goodbye to Wang Yangming, Wang Xing walked alone on the way back to No. 2 High School.
Although he had promised Wang Yangming not to interfere, he knew the truth in his heart.
Some storms, once they begin, cannot be avoided simply by trying to escape them.
"Meng Rui... Sun Donglai... I hope you two don't get too close."
Wang Xing clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the towering city government building in the distance.
He needs even greater power now.
…………
The next morning.
Chengdu's No.1 Mecha Hospital.
Located in the heart of Chengdu's new urban area, this hospital is constructed entirely of pristine white radiation-proof alloy and high-strength holographic glass. Heavy medical mechs emblazoned with the Red Cross occasionally roar overhead.
This is the center for the recuperation and enhancement of the most elite martial artists and mecha pilots in the Southwest region.
As soon as Wang Xing entered the hospital lobby, a smart-looking guide in a silver-gray fitted suit greeted him.
"Hello, are you Wang Xing? Please come with me, the dean has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wang Xing was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
He knew that Director He would make arrangements in advance, but he did not expect that the hospital director would personally receive him.
Led by the guide, Wang Xing took a gravity elevator directly to the VIP administrative area on the top floor of the hospital.
Inside the spacious and bright office, a huge floor-to-ceiling window offers a panoramic view of the cyber landscape of half of Chengdu.
Behind the desk, a sprightly old man with a full head of silver hair was smiling at Wang Xing.
Although the old man was wearing a white coat, Wang Xing could faintly sense the restrained yet powerful aura emanating from his body, like a furnace. This old dean was clearly a retired high-level mecha pilot with unfathomable strength.
"Haha, heroes have always emerged from among the young. Wang Xing, I watched your final match video from last night over and over again!"
The old dean stood up, without any airs, and walked over with a smile, pulling Wang Xing to sit down on the leather sofa.
"Dean, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
Wang Xing said modestly.
"Hey, there's no such thing as luck in the world of mecha. The fact that you've mastered the [All-Encompassing Prajna Divine Power] to such a profound degree shows that your physical foundation is frighteningly solid."
The old dean personally brewed a cup of medicinal tea that emitted a faint spiritual energy fluctuation and handed it to Wang Xing, his expression softening:
"Director He already spoke to me yesterday. The [Titan Beast Bone Gel] you're trying to fuse is a top-tier resource in our national strategic arsenal. This stuff is usually prepared for elite mecha officers who have distinguished themselves on the front lines and whose bodies are damaged and need rebuilding. For a high school senior, its effects... are a bit too violent."
The old dean picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and earnestly explained:
"The Titan Beast is a second-tier overlord-level abyssal monster. The active genes contained in its marrow have extremely strong 'predatory' properties. The process of strong fusion is actually your immune system and blood energy waging a silent war against this foreign overlord gene."
"You must use your 'All-Encompassing Wisdom' energy and blood to subdue it, grind it down, and transform it into nutrients for your muscle regeneration. Once you fail to subdue it, it will turn the tables and devour your life force."
"Director He should have prepared a blocking agent for you. My suggestion is that if the pain exceeds the limit or you notice signs of reversed blood flow and calcification, inject the blocking agent immediately. Although the strengthening effect will be reduced by half, at least the foundation can be preserved, preventing permanent disability."
The old dean looked at Wang Xing with both admiration and worry in his eyes.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Dean. I will do my best." Wang Xing nodded emphatically.
"Good, I'm relieved to see your composure. Let's go to the intensive care unit."
Top-floor, top-tier enhanced medical care unit.
The sense of technology is much stronger here.
In the very center stood a bio-enhancing chamber made of dark silver alloy, surrounded by dozens of precise robotic arms. Various trace element monitors emitted a ghostly green light.
Wang Xing walked to the collection table and placed his right hand on the biometric lock.
"Beep—Fingerprint matching successful, iris matching successful. The champion of the 100 Schools Competition, the [Titan Beast Bone Marrow Gel] and auxiliary blocking agent, has been unlocked."
As the mechanical sound subsided, the alloy tabletop slid open silently.
A metal incubator emitting white, cool air slowly rose up.
Wang Xing pressed the pneumatic valve on the box, and with a "hiss," the white mist dissipated, revealing two metal syringes lying quietly inside.
On the left, a dark red, thick, magma-like liquid flowed through the tube, with tiny golden specks occasionally drifting within it, exuding an ancient and violent vitality.
The one on the right is a liquid emitting a cold, eerie blue light; it's a life-saving inhibitor.
Wang Xing picked up the dark red gel syringe and took a deep breath.
"Wang Xing, please lie down in the enhancement chamber. The system will monitor your vital signs in real time."
The medical assistant beside her whispered a reminder.
Wang Xing took off his shirt and lay down in the cool enhancement chamber.
Countless micro-electrode pads were attached to his chest, forehead, and joints, and a diagram of his extremely imposing blood and qi fluctuations immediately appeared on the large screen in front of him.
"breathe--"
Wang Xing closed his eyes, placed his hands naturally at his sides, and began to circulate the "Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power".
His breathing became long and heavy, and as the energy cultivation technique was activated, his skin began to turn a strange red.
A layer of white heat burst forth from his pores, and his bones and joints crackled and popped like firecrackers.
"Qi and blood threshold has broken through the limit! It's boiling!"
On the monitor, Wang Xing's blood and qi values soared like a rocket, and the curve representing the blood and qi flow rate instantly turned a dazzling red.
Seeing this, the old dean in the observation room couldn't help but slap his thigh in admiration: "What robust qi and blood! This kid has laid an incredibly solid foundation. The purity of his qi and blood is even comparable to some level 10 martial artists!"
"Now, inject!"
"Sizzle—"
Two robotic arms precisely picked up the dark red syringe and plunged it into Wang Xing's quadriceps muscle on the outside of his thigh!
"boom!"
The moment the medicine was injected into his body, Wang Xing shuddered violently, his eyes bulged out instantly, and dense blood vessels instantly filled his eye sockets!
pain.
The extreme pain is beyond description!
Director He said it felt like red-hot steel needles drilling into the gaps in his bones, but he felt... it was clearly someone holding thousands of tiny, high-frequency vibrating knives, cutting his muscles piece by piece along his muscle fibers, and then pouring boiling magma onto his bones!
"Crunch... crunch..."
The armrests of the reinforced cabin, made of special alloy, emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound as Wang Xing gripped them tightly with both hands.
After the dark red gel entered the thigh muscles, it spread wildly throughout the body along the blood vessels and meridians.
The violent and ancient overlord genes attempted to tear apart and reassemble Wang Xing's original muscle structure.
"Smash it!"
Wang Xing roared inwardly.
The profound power of the subtle realm of [All-Encompassing Prajna Divine Power] revealed its true wonder at this moment.
The originally surging and turbulent blood and qi, under Wang Xing's extreme will control, began to differentiate into countless subtle dark forces, which began to resist the dark red gel molecules that were trying to rebel.
Slaughter him inch by inch, grind him to pieces inch by inch!
With each grain of powder ground up, Wang Xing's body would twitch in pain.
His body was completely soaked in sweat, and bloody beads of sweat even seeped from his skin.
"Dean, his heart rate has exceeded 260! His body temperature is approaching 42 degrees Celsius! Should we administer a blocking agent?!"
The medical assistant standing nearby said that his palms were sweaty.
The old dean stared intently at the two energies clashing fiercely on the screen.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone below level 10 who, when faced with the powerful Titan Gel, would not use an inhibitor but instead actively wear down the potion's effects in an extremely fierce manner!
"...Wait a little longer!"
The old dean gritted his teeth, "This kid hasn't reached his limit yet! He's subduing it!"
Just as the old dean predicted.
Although Wang Xing felt like his body was about to explode, his mind was clearer than ever before.
In the midst of extreme pain, he could clearly feel the Titan gel he had ground up transforming into the purest and most violent energy, merging into his body.
The originally slender muscle fibers, nourished by the medicine, began to reorganize and thicken at a crazy speed, with their toughness and density increasing exponentially!
Twenty minutes later.
The red light inside the enhancement chamber gradually dimmed and was replaced by a steady green light.
Wang Xing's blood and qi fluctuations finally stabilized.
The violent Titan gene completely disappeared, replaced by a new blood and energy in Wang Xing's body that was as deep and heavy as an abyss!
"call……"
Wang Xing slowly opened his eyes, and a golden glint, almost tangible, flashed across them.
He sat up, supporting himself on the hatch, feeling as light as a feather, yet every subtle movement seemed to contain the power of a raging torrent.
And just then...
