After a drop of the Wine of Immortality entered Xia Fan's body, he felt a little dizzy. His brain felt hungry.
It was a thirst for battle and blood. Xia Fan's eyes were bloodshot. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Xia Fan craved battle. He wanted to find someone to fight and vent his agitated emotions.
At the same time, Xia Fan felt his muscles twitch. His body became hot, as if he had fallen into burning lava.
The agitation was like a demon's possession. It was destroying Xia Fan's will and body. Before he drank the Wine of Immortality, Xia Fan had expected something bad to happen, but he did not expect it to be this bad.
If there was a mirror in the warehouse, he would have seen his face turning ferocious. His veins were popping, and his body was as red as burning steel.
Xia Fan had no choice. He could not escape. He could only grit his teeth and endure.
He knew that there was a battle going on inside his body. The Wine of Immortality had demonic power. It was trying to take over his body, and his instincts were fighting back.
The pain grew stronger and stronger. Xia Fan began to howl in the warehouse. The sound surprised even him. He could not imagine that his human voice could produce such a demonic sound.
Perhaps this was the legendary madness. The wyvern was a close relative of the dragon race. It had a sacred power that humans could not imagine. If Xia Fan wanted this power, he would have to pay a price.
His face turned from green to pale. The pain made him sweat. He could not tell if it was his own tears or his sweat. Either way, he was soaked.
The liquid that flowed out of his body was not pure. It was a light gray color. Xia Fan guessed that it was caused by his cells fighting against the virus. The dead cells were expelled from his body.
The old cells in his body were dying, and new cells were growing to fight against the virus.
This phenomenon was similar to metabolism. Some people woke up in the morning to find white dandruff in the middle of their hair. The dandruff was the dead brain cells.
In the human body, metabolism happened all the time. It was just that it was never as serious as Xia Fan's.
In a few minutes, almost all the cells in his body had been replaced. In order to fight against the virus, the old cells were too weak. They could not withstand the attack of the virus, so they were eliminated.
In order to preserve their lives, the newly born cells had to possess greater combat power than their predecessors.
As a result, a shocking change took place in Xia Fan's body. He completed a cell-level metamorphosis, eliminating all the cells that were not strong enough and replacing them with cells that were more powerful.
Xia Fan's brain could no longer think. Otherwise, he would have discovered that the appearance of the virus had quietly awakened the hidden survival instinct in his body. In order to survive, he was becoming stronger and stronger.
On the floor of the warehouse, a grey river flowed. It was Xia Fan's body fluids and dead cells.
In just five minutes, Xia Fan's weight had dropped by 6.8 kilograms. He was already thin to begin with, and now, he looked even skinnier without his jacket.
Of course, the weight loss was not fatal. Seventy percent of the human body was water. In other words, Xia Fan, who weighed sixty-five kilograms, could store forty-five kilograms of water in his body.
As long as he was not more than fifty percent dehydrated, Xia Fan could easily regain the weight he had lost by consuming food and water.
Time passed. After twenty minutes, Xia Fan's consciousness began to return. He immediately took out a few one-liter bottles of mineral water from his spatial ring and gulped it down like a cow.
Because the spatial ring was completely vacuum, the mineral water was cold. Xia Fan felt an indescribable sense of relief when he drank the cold water.
Other than water, he needed food.
There were only some military-grade energy bars in the spatial ring. These sweet chocolate bars contained six thousand calories each. Xia Fan peeled off the outer wrapper and ate one bar after another. After eating an energy bar, he gulped down a bottle of mineral water and repeated the process.
The heat and water reduced the pain caused by dehydration. At this time, the cell-level battle in his body had also come to an end.
A new army of cells formed in Xia Fan's body. They began to surround the remaining virus and completely remove the harmful substances from his body.
Thirty minutes later, just as Xia Fan had predicted, the virus was finally consumed and Xia Fan was reborn.
The evil power brought by the Wine of Immortality no longer existed. It was devoured and transformed into Xia Fan's own power.
At the same time, due to the replacement of the cells in his body, Xia Fan had completed a shocking transformation. His fingers, which had accumulated many ugly calluses due to years of training, had now become as smooth as a newborn baby's skin. Even Xia Fan's hair was darker and shinier, as if it had just grown out.
"That was close." Xia Fan let out a long sigh. He leaned against the wall and muttered to himself.
Although his body seemed to have recovered, Xia Fan still felt weak. So, he continued to consume large amounts of calories and water.
Empty mineral water bottles and energy bar packaging were scattered all over the floor. In a very short period of time, Xia Fan had eaten a hundred energy bars and consumed as many as six hundred thousand calories.
More than two hours had passed.
Xia Fan tried to stand up. He ran his hand through his wet hair and moved his arms and legs.
At this time, Xia Fan felt as if his body had become lighter. He could imagine the specific reason with his scientifically trained brain, but he could not believe that the power brought by the Wine of Immortality and metabolism could come so quickly.
Xia Fan took out a portable speed tester from the Dimensional Ring. This small device had a sensor and magnetic device. It could be glued to the alloy wall of the warehouse.
Hoo ~
Then, Xia Fan took a deep breath and began to run in circles around the not-so-big warehouse.
He was getting faster and stronger. Because of the existence of the high-level combat suit, wind resistance was reduced, so Xia Fan did not hear the wind whistling in his ears, but he could feel that his speed seemed to have increased a lot.
How much did it increase?
Xia Fan stopped, took off the portable speed tester, and looked at the screen behind the machine.
The data record showed that Xia Fan's maximum speed had exceeded 500 meters per second!
Before he drank the Wine of Immortality, this speed stopped at 397 meters per second.
In other words, just five milliliters of the Wine of Immortality increased Xia Fan's speed by more than a quarter!
This was really shocking!
The advanced Star Constellation required Xia Fan's speed to reach 571 meters per second. As long as Xia Fan used the Wine of Immortality again, he could advance!
He did not need to practice hard. One drop of the Wine of Immortality and half an hour of pain, and he could have a rapid increase in his level!
No wonder those people from the God-slaying Society were desperate to snatch it. This Wine of Immortality was really divine water!
Xia Fan felt high-spirited.
The reason why he was excited was not because of the increase in his level, but because he found a way to use the Wine of Immortality.
The Wine of Immortality brewed with the blood of the sub-dragon was three thousand milliliters. Now, he only used five milliliters of it, and his speed increased so much. Who knew what level he would reach after this bottle of Wine of Immortality was used up.
Of course, Xia Fan also knew that the Wine of Immortality could not be used every day. He had to be restrained. He usually relied on hard practice, and when the time was right, he would use the Wine of Immortality.
Normal practice and the Wine of Immortality alternated. While improving his level, he also had to be careful. After all, the body was everything. If the body collapsed, everything would be over.
After cleaning up, Xia Fan did not go to the station. Instead, he returned to the hotel suite that he and Fu You had rented.
His body emitted an unpleasant stench. Xia Fan filled the large round bathtub with hot water, then jumped in and took a comfortable bath.
As for the Phantom VII combat suit, this high-tech suit had a quick-drying and self-cleaning function. It only took three minutes for the combat suit to look brand new, and he could wear it comfortably again.
After the bath, Xia Fan felt hungry again. Perhaps it was because of the large number of cell regeneration in his body, Xia Fan's appetite today was really shocking.
He did not want to go to the restaurant, so he ordered room service.
Not long after, three waiters each pushed a cart to Xia Fan's room.
The first cart had four steaks on it. This was the hotel's signature dish, the Red Bull Pan-Fried Supreme Steak. The name was scary, but the taste was really good.
Xia Fan ordered an extra-large family meal. Each steak weighed two kilograms, and there were also potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, and many other side dishes. This extra-large steak was enough to fill a family of four.
The second cart had the fruits and desserts that Xia Fan had ordered. There were avocados, kiwis, bananas, grapes, and other desserts. The second cart had cream ice cream, chocolate cake, and other desserts.
The third cart was filled with drinks, such as sparkling soda, pure milk, coffee, and all kinds of freshly squeezed juices.
The waiters thought that Xia Fan was going to treat others in the suite, but when they came in, they saw that he was alone. They were stunned. They could not understand how this skinny guy could order enough food and drinks for 16 people.
Xia Fan took out three hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and gave them to the three of them as tips.
The waiters' monthly salary was about 1,500 Alliance dollars. Xia Fan's generous tips made them smile. They bowed and left the room.
.....
Fu You came back in the evening.
He opened the door and saw the mess in the living room. The waiter had not even cleaned up the empty plates.
"Xia Fan must have gone crazy from hunger!"
Fu You muttered as he walked into Xia Fan's room. He was lying on his back with his stomach facing up. The food he had eaten at noon had been digested and he was resting.
"You're back?" Xia Fan rubbed his eyes and sat up when he heard the sound.
Xia Fan had a habit of always wearing his combat suit when he slept. Even at home, he had to be ready for battle at any time. So, at this moment, Xia Fan was fully armed as usual.
"Yes."
"Did the station ask where I went?"
"No, the logistics department has been too free lately. Actually, I didn't stay in the station. Dylan said he knew a famous tea house nearby, so I went with him to take a look."
"What happened?"
"They were all common goods. I just bought some wild tea from the outside world and came back."
"You came just in time. I'm a little hungry. Let's order something to eat," Xia Fan said as he picked up the phone and called room service.
"Damn, you'll turn into a pig if you eat like this."
"But then again." Fu You frowned and sat on the sofa by the window in Xia Fan's bedroom. He crossed his arms and said, "I didn't buy any tea today, but I got a message from Dylan."
Xia Fan reached out and motioned for Fu You to wait.
He ordered some food over the phone, a rainbow trout, a bamboo chicken, and many side dishes and drinks.
