Huo Feng's alcohol tolerance was actually lower than Li Xiang's. She had only drunk less than a third of the large barrel of draft beer, but she was already drunk to the point of unconsciousness.
She held a glass of wine as she poured out the various feelings that had accumulated in her heart. Li Xiang sat there and listened quietly, playing the role of a good listener.
Even though she knew that Crimson Moon wouldn't be able to take them with her, she had already treated Crimson Moon as the only person she could rely on these past few years. Now that she had lost this person, it was no wonder that she would become like this. Perhaps only getting drunk could resolve a thousand worries.
The two of them drank intermittently until dawn. When Huo Feng woke up at noon, Li Xiang's figure was long gone. Only his coat was covering her body, proving that last night hadn't been a beautiful dream.
She gripped the still-cold glass of wine, feeling a sense of loss. Just as she had said to Li Xiang, he was the same as Crimson Moon. They were people who didn't belong to this world. One day, they would leave and go to a wider place. The only thing she could do was to occasionally mix drinks and pray for them.
On the way back to the garden bungalow, Li Xiang ran into Vulture and T-Rex, who had just returned from the Demonic Soldiers' headquarters. The two of them insisted on giving him a portion of the loot, and he couldn't refuse. In the end, he took five standard tubes of Origin Form gas and told them to remember to take care of Huo Feng before returning to the garden bungalow.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of Ming Xu cultivating. She was very diligent in her cultivation. Sometimes, she would sneak under the covers, covered in sweat, long after Li Xiang had fallen asleep. She would wake up before seven in the morning to continue cultivating.
The intensity of her cultivation was even greater than during the Polar night.
After nodding and smiling, he plunged into the room.
He needed to quickly reach a state of full awareness of his newly awakened brain and flesh circuits. He had taken five standard tubes of Origin Form gas from Vulture and T-Rex, which was enough for him to cultivate.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the Origin Substance syringe. Using the syringe was much more effective than using the Origin Substance Decomposition Room. At the same time, the pain he had to endure was doubled. However, this was nothing to Li Xiang, who was already very familiar with the process. He only hoped that he could quickly reach a state of full awareness. This way, once all six circuits reached a state of full awareness, his body would receive a decent boost.
After injecting the Origin Form gas, Li Xiang quickly entered a unique state of meditation. These two magic circuits were both Grade-A, much easier than his Grade-C Five Senses Magic Circuit.
The green and purple magic particles scattered throughout his body quickly began to move. He knew that the state wasn't materialization. As long as he could sense the magic particles, he would succeed. With such a large amount of Origin Substance, he only needed one or two days to complete the state.
His cultivation seemed to be sprinting towards the materialization of a new magic circuit. Yu Yi and Ming Xu naturally wouldn't interfere. He sat like this for the entire afternoon and night.
The next morning, Li Xiang woke up in a daze. In his body, the six different colors of magic particles had all returned to their positions. The six states of full awareness provided different benefits, and the improvement of his physical fitness had reached a threshold.
In theory, everyone's physical fitness had several thresholds. The breakthrough of the first threshold was after they first awakened their magic circuit. The cultivation during that time would greatly improve their physical fitness.
The breakthrough of the second threshold was when all the awakened magic circuits reached a state of full awareness. Only then would one be considered to have truly entered the door and qualified to plan their own future path.
The reason why a Mage's aptitude was different wasn't only because of the harsh conditions themselves, but also because the six magic circuits were naturally more advantageous than the other two professions.
At this time, his flesh, limbs, bones, internal organs, and so on were all undergoing rapid transformation and reconstruction. It was a very mysterious feeling. He could clearly feel the changes in his body, which were slightly different from his previous self.
The most intuitive manifestation was in his appearance. Originally, he was only less than 1.7 meters tall. Now, Li Xiang suddenly grew a little taller, about 1.75 meters. Compared to Ming Xu, who was about 1.55 meters tall, he felt that Ming Xu was a little more petite.
His muscles were also a lot stronger, and strength was constantly pouring out of his body. He estimated that his punching strength could reach 700 kilograms now, which was another leap compared to the 600 kilograms he had when he left the Polar night.
The specific data could only be known through a new test, but at present, he had reached a limit of his own. Unless there was another magic circuit materialization, the increase in his physical fitness wouldn't be too exaggerated. However, he vaguely felt that his physical fitness was still underestimated.
"I have to think of a way to test it first." To understand his own situation so that he could better explore his limits in battle, Li Xiang was very strict with himself. At least he had to know his own roots.
He stood up. The morning sun had just set, and Ming Xu, who was beside him, slept in for the first time. It seemed that the fight with Yu Yi last night had consumed too much of her mind. She was really working hard and desperately, but Li Xiang didn't quite understand the kind of ruthlessness that put her life on the line.
Her way of doing things was already too harsh to the point of being abnormal.
She didn't give him any time to breathe or rest.
He sighed, and his body felt a little inexplicably light. He staggered and subconsciously grabbed the dense steam iron pipe on the side of the room to maintain his balance, but after a creak, the thick iron pipe was easily deformed by him!
"How could this be?" Li Xiang took his hand away. The iron pipe just now felt like a rubber pipe. Wasn't this grip a little too scary?
He reached for a steam device on the ground, which was used to blow air and cool down. He casually kneaded it a few times, and the steam device instantly deformed into a pile of scrap metal. The parts inside popped out, and the thumb-sized gears were crushed into powder by his gentle pinch.
This power … was a little too exaggerated!
Li Xiang didn't dare to destroy things at will anymore. He practiced a set of boxing in the room and adapted to his body first. Only then did he realize that it wasn't just his strength that had skyrocketed, but also his speed and various other abilities.
His mind was also much clearer, and he didn't hesitate to calculate many things at the same time.
This was definitely not just the buff brought by knowing the six magic circuits, could it be …
He subconsciously looked at the white dragon mark in his palm. The cool feeling penetrated his heart, but he couldn't feel much other than that. To prevent it from leaking, he wrapped a black bandage around it and pretended to be injured.
"Ming Xu, can you tell me more about your clan's mark?" Li Xiang was a little overwhelmed. He saw Ming Xu rubbing his eyes and getting up, so he quickly sat by the bed and asked.
A faint fragrance wafted into his nose.
Ming Xu immediately looked at the purple crescent moon on his neck, probably thinking that he wanted to know about this mark.
This misunderstanding was just right, and Li Xiang didn't deny it.
"This is a mark unique to the Five Sovereigns, and only certain family members can awaken it." Ming Xu pointed at the Dong Ling family mark on his white neck and explained, "Every Sovereign has different characteristics, but most people who can awaken this mark will receive a part of the king's buff."
"The king's buff?"
"Well, to put it simply, you can share a little of the current king's power, depending on the strength of the mark. It's a symbol of status and power." Ming Xu stretched out his cold finger and gently touched the purple crescent moon on his neck. "The Yue family's mark is very special, and it can be passed to another family member through the family. You can also receive a little of the Moon King's power, but it should be very little."
"Is that so? But I saw many people with the Bai family's mark, uh, but some of their talents and achievements are very ordinary. " Li Xiang asked doubtfully. For example, Bai Shanshan and Crimson Moon were also like that. They might be genius-level figures in an ordinary family, but they couldn't be considered talents in the Five Sovereigns.
"Well, yes." Ming Xu nodded and said softly, "The mark only represents the concentration of the bloodline, but the most important thing is the magic circuit you awaken. However, only with the mark can you learn the family's inherited magic. If it's you, you might be able to learn the Yue family's inherited magic."
Being able to and being able to learn were two different concepts. It only represented a possibility, but it was enough to make people from ordinary families go crazy. No wonder so many people wanted to ride the coattails of the Five Sovereigns. This was simply all kinds of hidden benefits!
He rubbed the palm of his right hand. Naturally, he couldn't show the Bai family's mark to Ming Xu. According to her analysis, the main factor that affected the drastic change in his physical fitness was probably the Bai family's mark, and the Yue family's mark could only be said to be a bonus.
It turned out that the Yue family's mark had such an effect. If it was just a simple gift, then Crimson Moon's kiss could be said to be worth thousands of gold.
However, with this many guarantees, Li Xiang was more confident about the upcoming final exam. It was just that he had worked so hard to train in the Polar night in order to reach the player's qualification. Now that he had suddenly achieved his goal, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
He could understand the secret of the Polar night and solve the conflict with the Kuang Tie without too much pressure.
"Oh right, Ming Xu. Don't you have the qualification to be an assassin? Why did you come to the Polar night? " Li Xiang couldn't help but ask. At this point, it was time to understand a little bit of the inner thoughts of this ally.
Ming Xu hesitated for a moment, but still answered him, "I want to become stronger."
"Stronger?"
"Yes, stronger than anyone." Ming Xu looked at him with a determined gaze. It was the same gaze as him. It was because of this gaze that he felt that Ming Xu and he were the same kind of people. It was because of this gaze that he felt comfortable with her as a partner.
Invincible?
Although it wasn't a dream that a girl should have, he could still accept it.
He just didn't know what she had experienced in Dong Ling's house to become like this.
"What's wrong?" She didn't understand the change in Li Xiang's expression.
"Ah, it's fine. Very good, just like me." Li Xiang smiled. This was also his goal.
Stronger than anyone else. This way, no one would be able to obstruct him and control his fate and everything.
As a person of two lives, he was very clear about the principle that being weak was the original sin. And in this life, he had to live a different life.
