Ming Xu was sleeping soundly in his arms. There was only the Black Snake X lying quietly in his navy blue suit. In the end, she had chosen to use the more valuable Demon Wings instead of the Black Snake X. This action made Li Xiang's heart ache.
Ming Xu had never wanted to get close to anyone when she was young. She had been trained to be an assassin since she was young. She must have lacked love and friends in her childhood, but because of this, she had become more innocent and simple than anyone else.
Thinking back to the second phase of training, when he had finally built up a rapport and relationship with her, she had carefully protected him. Li Xiang's eyes became even colder.
He would never forgive the person who had used the Magic Removing Gun against Ming Xu.
Li Xiang lowered his head to look at Ming Xu. At that moment, he had taken off all her clothes and placed her over the fire. He had actually seen her body countless times. Aside from the small flaws of being thin and weak, there were no scars. This was a body that countless girls would be envious of.
A perfect, sexy body. White, snow-white skin. A slender waist. This was a devilish body that every girl dreamed of.
With so many wounds, he didn't know how she had endured them all the way here.
Li Xiang had just fed her a Spirit Crystal, and the effects were obvious. The Magic Removing Bullet's effects had been suppressed, and the huge wound on her abdomen was healing on its own. Her flesh and blood could regenerate on their own. Although he had sensed it before, seeing it with his own eyes was still shocking.
How could a normal human have such a terrifying regeneration speed? In the past, he had been able to use the self-healing ability to fool people, but this flesh and blood was wriggling and healing in front of his eyes. This couldn't be explained by common sense.
In addition to the organs he had vaguely glimpsed before, Li Xiang had a bad feeling about this.
She had also transplanted a portion of xenogeneic flesh and blood into her body.
He had only seen this kind of high-speed regeneration in xenogeneics. The familiar negative emotions and strange organs combined together made it easy to deduce this conclusion.
What had she experienced in Dong Ling's home?
But now was not the time to think about that. He Yi had publicly revealed his xenogeneic body. If someone was watching their ultimate trial, it meant that this level was recognized.
It seemed that this was just the dark side of the families above.
He slowly stroked Ming Xu's hair and forehead. Under his meticulous care, Ming Xu's fever finally subsided. His physical condition was also improving. However, he estimated that the Magic Bullet's effect would continue to spread in at most two days. At that time, it would corrode the organs and spread to other parts of the body.
At that time, not only would Ming Xu be in more pain, but his body would also become weak and powerless, and he would be at the mercy of others. In the end, his brain would be corroded, and he would lose his self-awareness, becoming a complete brainless person.
"Is the Magic Bullet's effect really irreversible?" Li Xiang repeatedly pondered in his mind. He took out the notes that Old Ghost had given him from the black box and read them all the way. Sure enough, there was an introduction to the Magic Bullet.
[Magic Bullet: A type of special bullet. As everyone knows, all living things are constructed from Origin Substances, supplemented by magic particles to create the energy needed for the body to function. The Magic Bullet removes the connection between magic particles and Origin Substances, completely cutting off the exchange of information between an individual and achieving a fundamental destructive effect.]
Below was the method to create various types of Magic Bullet. These special bullets had to be dissolved in the flesh. Otherwise, if one could immediately dig out the bullet and painfully cut off the part of the bullet that had been hit, there would be a possibility of recovery.
But after so much time had passed, this Magic Bullet had long since dissolved in Ming Xu's flesh and blood. It was impossible to find.
Li Xiang's heart sank. He continued to flip through the notes until he finally found Old Ghost's personal notes in an inconspicuous place.
[Note: The Magic Bullet's strength lies in its ability to destroy the body. It has irreversible negative effects. Fundamentally speaking, those who have been hit by the Magic Bullet are basically waiting for death. Even Magicians have no way to save them. Of course, there may be extremely powerful healing magic that can reverse the effects of the Magic Bullet, but it's the same for most people who have been hit. After hundreds of experiments, I've discovered that the Magic Bullet isn't completely unsolvable. In theory, the Anti-Magic Bullet uses the ability to break the connection between the Origin Substance and the magic particles to corrode the target's body. If the connection between the Origin Substance and the magic particles is different from the Anti-Magic Bullet's default method, then the effect can be nullified!]
Simply put, if the Magic Bullet didn't hit a human but a mutant or something like a Disaster, then it would be completely ineffective.
From this analysis, Ming Xu's mutation was definitely not complete. Otherwise, according to Old Ghost's deduction, if her organs were made of mutant flesh and blood, then she should be able to block the Magic Bullet's effect.
"I need to understand the mutation before I can think of a way to activate her mutant flesh and blood and block the Magic Bullet's effect." Li Xiang had a clear solution in his mind.
This was the only way.
Using the characteristics of her mutation to forcefully activate it and block the Magic Bullet. Whether or not she would become a mutant or a monster wasn't important. The most important thing was to survive.
The first person Li Xiang thought of was He Yi.
In the evening, Li Xiang quietly left the cave and brought back the Winged Chariot and the big bag of mechanical parts.
Ming Xu was still asleep. He had to keep an eye on her at all times to prevent the Magic Bullet's effect from spreading again.
Li Xiang used the light from the fire to slowly construct the mechanical device in his mind. Meanwhile, Night Shadow, who had been paying close attention to him, felt that something was amiss. After Ming Xu's abnormality was revealed, Wessex had once again increased their viewing privileges. Now, there were not many people who could view the game with them as the center of attention. The players who had this privilege would not be so free as to pay attention to two juniors.
Looking at the eye-catching red number "1" on the top right corner of the screen, Night Shadow realized that he was the only one who was still watching them.
Mutation wasn't a secret. In fact, many families were secretly experimenting with it in order to pursue the ultimate power. Some forces also knew some tricks to it. However, most of the members of the families who were experimenting with it had a certain status, but they had no hope of inheriting or breaking through. That was why they took the risk and tried to use it to increase their strength and gain better resources and connections for their families.
With He Yi's status, unless the He family wanted to become one of the most powerful families in the world, there was no reason for him to take such a risk to combine with the flesh of a xenogeneic. But Night Shadow couldn't understand what He Yi was thinking.
But Ming Xu was different. With her status and talent, why would she want to fuse with a mutant flesh? Night Shadow didn't understand at all.
She was a direct descendant of the Dong Ling family, but there was no public information about her. She was even left alone in the trial zone of the Subcontinent. Considering her status, she should have many supporters and guardian families.
However, according to the information Night Shadow had gathered, Dong Ling Ming Xu was a person who lived in the shadows.
She never appeared in public in the Dong Ling family. Although she was a direct descendant of the family, she had never attended any grand ceremonies such as family sacrifices, temple fairs, or annual celebrations. She had been placed in a remote area to cultivate since she was a child. She didn't have any contact with anyone from the Dong Ling family.
Very few people in the family knew of her existence, let alone her peers.
"This, this, what Young Master Li Xiang is making wouldn't be the self-destruct device on the dome, right?" Hestria, who was lying on another recliner, asked in a low voice as she tugged at her straps that were a little too tight.
It was rare for her to be able to bask in the sun with Night Shadow, but the two of them had been watching Li Xiang's activities for hours. Because of that, Hestria realized how important Li Xiang was to Night Shadow.
Whenever his name was mentioned, the frost on Hestria's face would melt.
"Ah, yes, that brat is really mad." Night Shadow chuckled. He was actually quite happy. "Is he planning to take revenge?"
"Impressive. This should be the first time he's seen such a device. Can he really build it? " Hestria had a doubtful look on her face. She didn't know anything about machinery, but she knew quite a few famous machinists. Their feedback was that any mechanical device developed by Duke Silo was extremely difficult to manufacture.
Even if he was only trying to build a mini version, it would still be very difficult.
"That's why he's so talented. Didn't you say you were going to hire a machinist to build half a machine for Bian Hetu? What do you think of our Li Xiang? It'll be good for him to practice. "Night Shadow took a bite of the apple and asked with a smile.
Hestria nodded slightly, but then she said, "But Young Master Li Xiang isn't a machinist yet. It'll be very difficult for him to operate it."
"It's fine. We'll wait a month after he enters the school. There's no rush for Bian Hetu. Ask Osna to take care of him. Let's wait for Li Xiang." Night Shadow continued to look at the screen.
"Yes."
"Speaking of which, who's the Chronometer Tower Consortium's admissions officer this year?" Night Shadow suddenly asked while eating the apple.
The Chronometer Tower Consortium was founded by the largest academic Magician organization, the Chronometer Tower. Even the lowest-ranked teachers in these universities were all experienced players.
They had the largest educational resources and teachers. They didn't need to look at the eyes of any forces. Even the five most powerful Thrones, the Katas Zhaofei Committee, and Wessex, the three tyrants couldn't directly order the Chronometer Tower.
Many of the pillars of the major organizations were the students of the Chronometer Tower. Thus, no one dared to openly go against the Chronometer Tower.
Every time the Ultimate Trial was held, the organizer would send out the highest referee to lead the Referee Committee, which was made up of players sent out by the major organizations, as the final ruling body of the Ultimate Trial.
The Referee Committee was divided into seven continents and different trial zones. At least a hundred people from each trial zone had to be present to take effect.
In addition, the Chronometer Tower Consortium would send out an honorary referee every year. He was also the only person who knew the rules of the Chronometer Tower Consortium's admissions.
