Mixed Medicine
The Windshade Mark IV combat suit was black in color, with fine workmanship and a streamlined design. Light would be directly absorbed by this combat suit, not reflecting any light at all.
The suit was abnormally tight, clearly outlining Xia Feis inconspicuous muscles. Wearing it made him feel as if he was suffocating.
"Seems too tight," Xia Fei said as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Phantom chuckled. "That's right. This way, your muscles will tense up, and when you face air resistance, your muscles won't tremble and create unnecessary resistance. You just need to get used to it. The Windshade Mark IV is only a Star River-grade combat suit. If it were an authentic Legendary grade combat suit, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to walk after wearing it. "
"That can't be, right?" Xia Fei tried moving his body. Though his body did not feel comfortable, his movements were much faster than before. It was just that Xia Fei had yet to completely familiarize himself with its characteristics, so his movements were somewhat mechanical.
"Do you know why I insisted on getting you to buy this Windshade Mark IV?" Phantom deliberately kept him in suspense.
"Nope."
"The higher the grade of the combat suit, the tougher the material used. Overly tough materials will put a lot of pressure on the human body, so not just anyone can wear it. If it's not done properly, it might even cause injury or even disability."
"With your current physical fitness, you still can't wear a Legendary grade combat suit. Even if you force yourself to wear it, it won't increase your speed. Too much of a burden on your body will instead cause your speed to decrease, and your movements will also become less fluid."
"And this limited edition Windshade Mark IV combat suit doesn't have a high requirement for the wearer's rank, yet it can provide Legendary grade performance, making it the most suitable choice for you."
Xia Fei took out Chasing Light and attached it to his right arm, lightly pressing a button.
* Shing! *
A green dagger abruptly extended from his arm, moving at an extremely fast speed!
Xia Fei tried swinging it, and the blade sliced through the air, letting out a low hum that would send shivers down anyone's spine.
Chasing Light was fixed to the wearer's arm instead of being held in his hand. A human's arm was much stronger than their wrist, so Chasing Light was not only as sharp as a dagger, but it also had a toughness that a dagger lacked, giving off the feeling that it could split mountains and split seas when it was swung.
* Whoosh! *
With a flash of green light, Xia Fei made a horizontal slash at the mirror, only to see a thin black line appear on the surface of the mirror. Chasing Light had actually sliced the fragile glass in half! It didn't even make a sound, which showed how sharp it was!
Very good. Your killing intent is too heavy when you attack. Using a nimble dagger doesn't suit your style. This Chasing Light is far more domineering than a dagger, so it suits you very well.
"Now that you have all the equipment you need, it will depend on whether you can absorb the drug residue in your body before the assessment and increase your level by another level. Once your speed exceeds the speed of sound, it will be a completely different situation."
Xia Feis eyebrows furrowed as he shook his head and said, The Alpha index is seventy-three. Still not enough.
"Only ten days left." Xia Fei helplessly said. He tossed the detector aside and walked into his training room, where he began his frenzied training.
"Seventy-three? Xia Feis absorption speed sure is fast. It hasn't even been two months. " Phantom sighed. "My seventh brain region is fully opened. Why didn't I encounter such a good thing? If my seventh brain region was fully opened, perhaps I wouldn't have become such a terrible assassin."
Looking through the window at the crowded streets, Phantom let out a deep sigh. "Forget it. Better go and study my poems."
November 29th, early morning.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the east was still suffused with the first glimmer of light. Xia Fei got out of bed on time and walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Xia Fei was used to washing his face with cold water, regardless of the season. Cold water could quickly wake a person up from their sleep.
Putting down the towel, he used the detector to check the drug residue in his body.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei's eyes released a bright luster.
"Phantom! Phantom! "Xia Fei anxiously called out.
Phantom poked his head out from the Moore Stone. "What's the matter?"
"Look!" Xia Fei placed the detector in front of Phantom.
"The Alpha index is nine. Absorbed! You've already absorbed all the remaining drug residue! "Phantom said with a look of disbelief.
Throwing the detector down, Xia Fei quickly put on his clothes and walked to the square table in the living room. There was a concocting apparatus on the table, and to prevent dust, it was covered with a layer of white cloth.
Xia Fei removed the white cloth on the concocting apparatus and took out a few boxes of medicinal ingredients that he had prepared beforehand from the safe in the room, arranging them neatly.
On the second day of the auction, Xia Fei used 260 million star coins to purchase a stalk of Silver Nocturna Grass and some other supplementary medicinal ingredients.
In order to raise funds, Xia Fei had no choice but to reluctantly sell off the Heart of Spirit for 230 million.
Xia Fei's account was now left with less than three million star coins, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy.
"There's only one set of this Aquamarine Illusory Star and Silver Nocturna Grass. You mustn't make any mistakes." Phantom stood in a corner and reminded Xia Fei.
"Yes!" Xia Fei nodded heavily, his expression incomparably solemn.
The day after tomorrow was the day of the assessment, and it was crucial to raise his rank to the Intermediate Star Base rank before the assessment.
Xia Fei's strength was one of the weakest among the candidates. Even if he were to raise his rank to the Intermediate Star Base rank, he would still be in the lower ranks among the tens of thousands of candidates.
Fortunately, Xia Fei did not hesitate to buy a set of top-grade combat equipment that he could currently use. With this equipment, Xia Fei's strength should be able to rank slightly above the average.
Carefully purifying the Aquamarine Illusory Star and Silver Nocturna Grass, he then found the other six medicinal ingredients to be used together and placed them into the concocting apparatus according to the required amount.
About twenty minutes later, there were eight bottles of different colors on the table. Xia Fei followed the instructions and placed the eight medicinal ingredients into the concocting apparatus, resulting in a white bottle of concocting medicine.
Xia Fei placed the bottle of concocting medicine under the light and carefully observed it, gently shaking it a few times.
The white liquid resembled fresh milk. It was very pure and rich, without any impurities.
Sniffing it with his nose, it smelled very spicy, like the smell of aged liquor. There was even a faint refreshing smell.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Fei raised his neck and poured the medicine into his stomach.
