Seven days later, in an underground laboratory in Haijing.
In the dark space, the sound of flesh wriggling and bones rubbing against each other could be heard from time to time. The sound of flesh wriggling was as loud as a bell in a temple. The friction between bones was like steel bars, emitting sparks of metal.
The Sky Snake King, Zuo Zhicheng, was the one who could cause such a commotion. He was hiding in the underground laboratory to adapt to the transplanted Inner Strong Body and Heavenly Armor.
One of the two Life Clusters condensed the internal organs, while the other strengthened the Ink Bones. Both of them could strengthen Zuo Zhicheng's body and increase his explosive power. However, because they were effective on the key parts of the human body, Zuo Zhicheng had to adapt carefully. Any negligence could lead to organ rejection or even death.
Slowly adapting to the two new powers in his body, Zuo Zhicheng sat up from the operating table. He opened his palm and a black bone blade popped out from his palm. The bone blade looked smooth and complete, as if it was formed naturally.
This was a new strengthened bone formed by combining the Heavenly Armor and the Ink Bones. In order to complete this bone, Zuo Zhicheng had consumed a lot of precious metals and various materials.
After all, even if he had the Life Cluster, he still needed the materials. Otherwise, he would not be able to cook without rice.
The structure of the bone did not change much, but the mixture of different materials made it similar to a superalloy. Its hardness and ductility were greatly improved.
Zuo Zhicheng touched the faint scar on his back and thought to himself, "My physical body has almost adapted to it. Although there are still some minor flaws, I don't have much time left. Next, I'll start cultivating the Dao Revolution Realm and the Origin Realm."
Pressing the scar on his back with his finger, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly looked in the direction of the laboratory's exit. About half a minute later, Xu Hongfei walked over carefully.
"Sir … is that you?"
Zuo Zhicheng looked at Xu Hongfei, who was carefully wrapped in metal from head to toe. There was a hint of satisfaction in the depths of his eyes. He said coldly, "You're quite cautious. However, in this situation, it's better to take control of the situation before making a move."
Zuo Zhicheng was still sitting on the operating table when he said the first half of the sentence. However, when he finished the second half of the sentence, a gust of cold wind blew past. Zuo Zhicheng had already arrived behind Xu Hongfei. His words carried a chill to the back of Xu Hongfei's head.
"Since when …" Xu Hongfei felt a suffocating pressure coming from Zuo Zhicheng, but he was already used to the pressure. He lowered his head and said, "Sir, you're finally back."
"Yes." Zuo Zhicheng scanned the man's body with his infrared vision and nodded. "You're quite hardworking. How did you end up here? I didn't arrange any related tasks, did I? "
It turned out that Zuo Zhicheng had sneaked into the laboratory without telling anyone just in case. He had planned to appear in front of everyone after the Life Plexus transplant was completed.
When he heard Zuo Zhicheng's words, Xu Hongfei answered honestly, "I'm worried that the laboratory will be too dirty and dusty if I don't use it for too long. That's why I come in every week to clean it."
Xu Hongfei was met with dead silence. He could not hear anything. Just when Xu Hongfei started to suspect that Zuo Zhicheng had left, Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "Thank you for your concern. Tell me about the situation during this period of time."
"Yes." Xu Hongfei immediately told Zuo Zhicheng everything that had happened during the period when Zuo Zhicheng was not around. He also told Zuo Zhicheng about himself, Ah Yue, Ji Nanxian, Ye Shi, Sun Feibai, and the others. He also told Zuo Zhicheng about their personal training.
When he mentioned Ah Yue, he could not help but pause. He then said, "Sir, I heard from Master Jiang Qing that Ah Yue doesn't have the Innate Qi. Is that true?"
Zuo Zhicheng looked at him from the corner of his eyes and said, "Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"
Xu Hongfei was silent for a while. He took a deep breath and said, "I just … If he doesn't have the Innate Qi, why does he still participate in the physical training with us? No matter how hard he trains, he can't reach our level. He's now the second last every day. Only Sun Feibai is worse than him.
Now, he has to train alone until midnight every day. I'm worried that if he continues to work so hard, his body will collapse. "
"Is he dead?"
"Uh."
"With Shen Anan, with so many tonics, herbs, and elixirs, he won't die." Zuo Zhicheng said in an indifferent tone, "Some people's lives are worthless. That's why their greatest talent is to work hard.
Physical training and strengthening his physique are secondary. Training his willpower is the main goal. "
Xu Hongfei lowered his head and said, "I understand, sir."
"What about Sun Feibai?" Zuo Zhicheng asked, "How's his performance?" The blind young man, Sun Feibai, had a talent that even Zuo Zhicheng was jealous of. He paid close attention to this young man's growth.
"Feibai doesn't have the Innate Qi either. That's why he's at the bottom of the list every day." Xu Hongfei smiled bitterly. "But he's good at slacking off. I'm not worried about him.
When he first came here, he would cry at night. But now that he's familiar with us, he's eating and drinking well every day. He seems to be quite happy. "
Zuo Zhicheng nodded. Sun Feibai was still a child and lacked experience. Although Jiang Qing would teach them, it was impossible for her to be as harsh as Zuo Zhicheng or Ah Yue with her experience in the Martial Arts Club.
"Oh right, Miss Qingyue also sent me a document from the grassland."
Zuo Zhicheng's eyes flashed. He immediately understood that it was probably the document sent by the Quettes. It was about the Totem Warriors.
Then, Zuo Zhicheng listened to the other people's situation. He didn't have any extra questions. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go out first. Give me the document sent by Qing Yueqiu and don't come in for a while.
Also, I'll be in the lab for the rest of the day. Don't tell anyone. "
Zuo Zhicheng's eyes suddenly flashed. He pointed to a box of pills on the table and said, "This is the Rejuvenation Pill. Take it and soak it in hot water every day. Don't forget to ask Shen Anan to check if there's any problem before you take it.
If he asks where you got it, tell him that I gave it to you in the past. "
"I understand."
"Go." Zuo Zhicheng waved his hand, and Xu Hongfei slowly left.
In the darkness, the sound of various tools colliding, flesh squirming, and blood spurting could be heard again. In the snake cave behind the lab, the Serpent King flicked its tongue, turned its body, and fell asleep again.
