After saying goodbye to Baimiya, Li Xiang boarded the airship that would take him back to Lighthouse University.
The School Championship Competition of the Deep Sea Nation had come to an end. He, Ji Yanqing, and the others had spent a lot of time searching for Loulan's treasures, which delayed the process of hunting xenogeneics. As a result, the points and evaluations they obtained were not high.
This time, the Zero Hour Source Style had shown the glory of the best university. The students who participated in the competition had taken the top ten places on the scoreboard, pushing the school back to the first place with brute force.
On the other hand, Lighthouse Academy, which had temporarily taken the first place because of Li Xiang's outstanding performance in the Jade Forest, had fallen to the tenth place. The withdrawal of the other students and Li Xiang's mediocre performance had caused many schools to catch up with them. Of course, the school was still cheering at the moment. In most people's eyes, as long as they could keep the name of the Chronometer Tower Consortium, it was a victory.
Sitting in the vice-principal's office, Jeffrey had mixed feelings. Recently, there had been more and more news about the Gate of the Abyss. The Dead Sea was not peaceful at all. It was as if there was a dark cloud hanging over the school, which could erupt at any time.
On the other hand, Li Xiang was still giving him all kinds of surprises. He had thought that he was just lucky in the first trial. Since the others had withdrawn in the second round, he did not have much hope. He did not expect to be able to hold on to the tenth place.
As soon as he returned to school, Li Xiang could not wait to go to the Knowledge Tower to look for Honey Li.
The Enchantress and Jing, who could not participate in the School Championship Competition, went out together and went to the Subcontinent to do a series of trial missions. The drastic changes in the family made the Enchantress mature overnight. Jing, who was also shouldering a heavy responsibility, was also eager to become stronger. The two worked together and slowly made a name for themselves in the Subcontinent.
In the research room of the Knowledge Tower.
Honey Li put down the test tube in her hand. She took out the equipment and quickly extracted Li Xiang's blood sample and cell stock solution.
"I have been studying you these days," Honey Li said bluntly. Honey did not mince her words as she placed an apple in front of him. "I've read tens of thousands of books in the Knowledge Tower's library, and even asked my teacher … Don't eat this apple."
"Ah …" Li Xiang awkwardly put the half-eaten apple back and scratched his head.
"Really, I have to hand it to you." Mili glared at him speechlessly. "Look at this apple. It contains all the laws of the world. Look, if you don't touch a fresh apple, what will happen after an hour, a day, ten days, a month, a year? "
"It will rot."
Wasn't this nonsense? Li Xiang complained in his heart. However, he did not dare to be so arrogant in front of this talented woman with an IQ of several hundred.
Who knew how many arguments the other party would use to refute him?
"Yes, it will rot. No matter what it was, whether it was a living thing or an inanimate object, nothing could escape the fate of birth, old age, sickness, and death! No matter how strong you are, even if you are one of the Five Kings, you will grow old one day. According to my experimental data, it's the same for xenogeneics. I've heard that Disasters have super regeneration abilities, but that doesn't mean they won't age. But … "
Mi Li picked up the test tube containing Li Xiang's blood and shook it slightly. She looked at him through the transparent glass. "Do you know? Your blood, just sitting there, doesn't change at all. Everything, including you, is the same. It seems to have infinite life, without any signs of aging. "
"So what's the use? I only know that if I meet a player, they can crush me with a finger. "Li Xiang shrugged.
"Don't hit me. Do you know? I've done all kinds of destructive experiments on your cells, such as high temperature burning, ultra-low temperature freezing, lightning, poison, corrosion, and so on. All kinds of destructive methods, as long as they reach a certain threshold, can easily destroy your cells. But the problem is, as long as they are not completely destroyed, your cells will reconstruct at an astonishing speed. They have memory and can quickly recover to the state they were in before they were destroyed. Other than that, they can also remember the damage they suffered before and develop a certain level of tolerance. "
Mi Li excitedly took out a test tube of golden blood. There was a faint golden aura on it, which surprised Li Xiang.
This aura had always been very sneaky, never leaving the body easily, and never touching anything that could destroy it.
Since its birth, it had been destroying and devouring, hiding longer than anyone else. How could it be mixed in with the blood cells and be caught by Mi Li?
But there was no mistake about that aura.
However, it was different from the one in Li Xiang's body. It had no vitality, but he was sure that as long as he absorbed this test tube of blood, it could be revived in his body.
"You, how did you do it?" Li Xiang opened his mouth wide and told her about the faint golden aura.
Mi Li nodded slightly and smiled. "It was created through countless destructive experiments. So that's how it is. It seems that the aura in your body came from that. Speaking of which, don't you understand what I mean? As long as you continue to fight like this, you might evolve into an ability that surpasses super regeneration. "
"As long as you continue to grow, one day, you will become immortal." Mi Li sighed. "I think, this is the result that Master Bai Lili has been trying to achieve."
"My mother?"
"That's what I think. According to the information you brought back this time, we can't rule out the possibility that Bai Lili is involved with top powerhouses like the Black King and the Shield King. You see, isn't the young mistress of Wessex your half-sister? "Mi Li teased." Then let's look at it from another perspective. Why would Bai Lili do all these things? Also, she obviously treats you differently from the other heirs. Have you ever seen her care for Ye Tong or Cecilia? Only you, she was willing to appear and communicate with you, even contacting you many times. "
"I'm guessing that your existence has always been an important experiment for her. She has poured so many things into you. The Bai family bloodline, the Wessex bloodline, Lancelot's legacy, the only thing missing was her inheritance. But along the way, she has spent a lot of effort on you, even leaving the Primordial Array for you to guide you to activate Lancelot's legacy. She even deliberately disguised your cell characteristics with human characteristics so that no one would notice. "
"The most obvious characteristic of a Disaster is that it is difficult to remove and the terrifying speed of regeneration. Bai Lili must have planted something similar in your body. You've always thought that the influence of your inclination towards the Disaster side came from that Disaster's heart, but have you ever thought that she might have given you something Disaster long before that? " Mi Li frowned. "Of course, we can't prove this, but it's definitely a good thing for you."
"Let's look at it this way for now." Li Xiang felt a headache coming on. He continued to tell Mi Li a lot of information about the two trials and asked her to help analyze it.
With such a great think tank by his side, he naturally would not let it go.
"Miss Cecilia is controlling the Mechanic Church, so it seems that Aokiji 2-7 was a show directed and acted by herself. Her goal was to obtain the star map drawn by the participants. I know about the star map, it's related to the location of the galactic turbulence in the future, but I'm not too sure about this young mistress' true thoughts. It's impossible to make an effective deduction from your personal judgment. " Mi Li rested her chin on her hand as she analyzed. "But what I can be sure of is that from the current data, this young mistress with a split personality has big plans and is up to no good. Don't trust her so easily."
"I know. Even if it's me, I can't contact the Queen of Pain now." Li Xiang nodded.
The two of them talked for a while, and they could not help but talk about the recent series of abnormalities in the Ocean of Death. Li Xiang was shocked and thought that the previous incident was about to happen again. Only after Mi Li explained did he realize that the Gates of the Abyss had mysteriously increased.
When she mentioned the Gates of the Abyss, he thought of the Disaster's main body that he had seen in [Deep Sea Kingdom]. He did not know where she had gone, but she seemed to have helped him transform into a Mechanical Heart in another Gate of the Abyss.
After returning to the dormitory, Li Xiang turned on his communicator to confirm the information. Scarlet Heavy Industries, together with the Serpent Machinery Department and Sharjah, had slowly opened up the military market. With the Origin Form extraction machine and the endless supply of blueprints and technology, the rise of Scarlet Heavy Industries was unstoppable.
Fortunately, their current scale was not enough to attract the attention of giants like the two major heavy industries. Wang Bo and the others were smart enough to suppress their share so that they would not be targeted before they had risen.
There was still a day's buffer time before the third School Championship Competition. When the time came, he would rush to the headquarters of the Chronometer Tower in District 1 of the Southern Land.
Ming Xu sent a picture. In the picture, she was wearing a lavender kimono and holding the anti-materiel rifle Nirvana that he had given her as a gift. She was strolling in the courtyard full of cherry blossoms. In the pool under the huge cherry tree, the figure of Dong Ling Sakura could be vaguely seen. She had never seen her biological mother, but that kinship had long been passed to Dong Ling Sakura through Li Xiang.
Ever since the Forgotten Town incident, the First Lady no longer restricted her on many things, allowing Ming Xu to freely contact Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. Looking at the girl in the picture who had become even prettier, he smiled gently and set the picture as his desktop background.
After emptying his mind of a bunch of emotions, Li Xiang quickly entered a state of cultivation.
The recent battles had benefited him a lot. First, he reviewed the matches one by one. After finishing the boring review, he practiced Mili's training plan and took a cold shower.
He was 1.75 meters tall and had also gained a lot of weight. Looking at his naked self in the mirror, Li Xiang smiled slightly.
The skinny monkey-like self from before never returned. Because there was something called Physique Improvement in this world, it allowed him to continue growing after the age of 18. This growth rate would stop after he became a player.
Most people would stop after the growth of their physique was over, and most people would stop growing after entering the ranks of magicians.
Looking at the strong muscles on his body, Li Xiang wiped the water off with a towel and walked directly out of the bathroom.
The Bloody Holy Grail had been left alone on the ground. The rich blood smell stimulated the tip of his nose.
It contained the evil head's lifeblood and countless lonely souls that were killed by Dong Ling Sakura.
"It's time to drink it." Every time Li Xiang came across the Bloody Holy Grail, he had a desire to drink it, but the desire was not strong.
But this time, after his body contained the power of faith of the unknown Disaster's spawn, he began to inexplicably desire this cup of lifeblood.
Every cell in his body seemed to need it, even his Mechanical Heart was beating violently.
"That Disaster even called me big brother …" Li Xiang recalled the scene in the ancient capital of Loulan. "It said something about mommy and going home. That Disaster was the original owner of that heart. That heart was the transaction item between the tarot cards and General Shogun. Later, I got it by accident, but the mysterious person said that it was a gift from him? "
So, no matter what, the heart would eventually come to him.
It was also because of it that he had an origin connection with this Disaster, and even that pale golden aura came from it.
His mind was in a mess, but it also seemed like something was pieced together. All he lacked was the most crucial key, and everything could be linked together.
"Forget it, drink the lifeblood first." Li Xiang raised the Bloody Holy Grail and drank it all. Without the lifeblood, they would have one less way to revive Bai Lili.
The hot blood flowed into his throat.
The lifeblood did not seem to go through his esophagus, but instead inexplicably poured directly into his heart and Mechanical Heart. The pale golden aura that had been silent all this time cheered and jumped out crazily, absorbing the lifeblood in big mouthfuls.
It only contained a drop of Bai Lili's lifeblood, and it was enough to make it so crazy!
After absorbing the lifeblood, the pale golden aura slowly transformed. Its color became even more golden, and it was tinged with a hint of darkness.
The dark golden color revealed a trace of luxury that had never been seen before.
A warm current slowly surged around his body.
Li Xiang was overjoyed. He opened his eyes and felt the transformation of his body this time. After breaking through to Level-3 Magician, Li Xiang's Physique improved much more slowly. He knew that there was still a certain distance from his limit, but he did not know how to break through.
Every Level-3 Magician's limit was different. Before becoming a player, to become stronger, one could only continue to learn new magic and repeatedly temper one's Physique.
The key to becoming a player was to absorb a player's carrier, then dissolve one's own weight core, shatter the magic circuit, and shatter everything that one had improved as a Magician.
Therefore, before becoming a player, improving one's strength as much as possible was the key to building a solid foundation.
Being able to break through to the peak of Level-3 Magician meant that he could better prepare for becoming a player in the future.
After completing a new round of baptism, Li Xiang could not wait to update his data. After uploading the new data, it caused another sensation in the Magic Association.
Before entering school, he was only a Level-2 Magic Apprentice. Now, he was already a Level-3 Magician in his second year!
Looking at the report in his hand, Li Xiang had mixed feelings. When he first met Banco in the Sky Arena, the pressure was still vivid in his mind. When he was in the Magic Association, he was remembered by Morgan, and Hunter was worried about him.
When he was at the border, Zhao Lingkong's overwhelming combat power made him feel powerless. Now, he was finally standing beside this group of people.
[Level-3 Magician: Li Xiang]
[Strength: 8,523 kg]
[Speed: 148m/s]
[Nerve Reaction Speed: Dodged 899 shots in 1 minute]
[Weight Core Volume: 455 standard units]
[Magic Circuit Materialized: Limbs, Brain, Flesh, Facial Organs, Organs, Bones]
[Magic Skills Mastered: Shatter Warhead, Purify Filth, Increase Perception, Magic Magazine, Eyes of Truth, Perfect Curtain Call]
The growth in Strength was especially significant.
In the Chronometer Tower's research report, it showed that the peak Constitution of a Level-3 Magician was the human limit. Strength of 10000 kg, speed of 150m/s, dodging 1,000 shots in 1 minute, and a weight core volume of 500 standard units.
According to this progress, if he continued to slowly improve, there was hope for him to reach or even surpass the human limit!
After that, if he wanted to improve, he could only rely on magic and other skills. In the seven continents, it had always been very rare for people to reach the peak of human constitution. There were only a few people.
Such people still had a certain advantage after becoming a player, and if they could break through the limit, the Chronometer Tower had once predicted that such a Level-3 Magician might be able to defeat the peak of mutants, breaking the legend of invincibility.
