Chapter 211: Chapter 162 Strength Surge

The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood infused into his body and immediately flowed along his veins into his heart.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Ji Xinghuo heard his own heartbeat growing louder and louder, like the beating of war drums, pumping the Dragon Blood throughout his body. Under microscopic perception, he saw his own blood being assimilated by the Dragon Blood, the bright red tinged with strands of bright silver, viscous like mercury, slowly spreading throughout his body.

The energy contained within the Dragon Blood was released step by step.

Then, a thick and powerful feeling surged through him.

Ji Xinghuo felt every part of his body, inside and out—every place where blood flowed—undergoing earth-shattering changes.

His heart grew stronger and pumped blood faster; his lungs became more resilient, each breath deeper and longer; his stomach, liver, intestines—all of his organs were greatly strengthened by the Dragon Blood flowing through them, functioning several times better than before!

The Dragon Blood penetrated into the muscles and bones through the capillaries, with trillions of cells throughout his body greedily devouring this energy.

Ji Xinghuo was immersed in the intense pleasure of it all, beyond words.

This feeling, as if he was undergoing a life evolution for the first time through the fusion with Alien Species, was akin to the ether energy in the Cultivation Room, like a surging tide pouring into his body, crazily fusing with the Dragon Blood to further enhance his physique.

Ji Xinghuo clearly felt his body getting stronger; superficially, his muscles had only grown slightly larger, but the strength contained within had increased exponentially.

Gradually.

Ji Xinghuo’s skin turned silvery gray, his pupils also faded, shimmering with silver light.

Patterns of scales emerged.

The Golden Scale Iron Spine was automatically activated. Originally featuring a mix of cyan and gold—the cyan green in the middle of the scales and the golden edges—now a silver color was added as well, also at the edges of the scales and mixed with the gold, creating a silver and gold interspersion that reflected a brighter metallic luster.

Ji Xinghuo opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface and saw the progress level of his Golden Scale Iron Spine skyrocketing.

Originally, the Golden Scale Iron Spine was (Fourth Level 23/5477).

In just a few minutes, it had surged to (Fourth Level 1385/5477), and it continued to rise unabated.

"The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood can actually improve the Golden Scale Iron Spine!"

Ji Xinghuo was pleasantly surprised.

The Golden Scale Iron Spine was shared with Qing Hong. As he improved this ability, Qing Hong would also receive a synchronized boost. The Qing Hong peeking out of his pocket had its scales also shimmering with silver light.

However, the surprise didn’t stop there.

Ji Xinghuo noticed that his Rotating Magnetic Field was accelerating, the range of the magnetic field was expanding, and the upgrade progress was rapidly increasing.

[Rotating Magnetic Field (Third Level 822/8089)]

Ever since the Rotating Magnetic Field reached the third level, Ji Xinghuo had not invested any Spiritual Origin Ability into it. Due to frequent use, the progress had only increased by a few points.

Now it had surged by over 800 points!

Moreover, Ji Xinghuo found that his self-healing had gotten even faster.

The advancement of the Rotating Magnetic Field to the second level allowed him to recover from injuries quickly, an effect akin to "Extreme Healing." And the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood also possessed a very strong self-healing capability. Combined, the effect on both injury recovery and stamina replenishment had been taken to another level.

The fusion lasted for more than ten minutes before the ethereal energy dissipated and the Cultivation Room returned to calm.

"It succeeded."

Ji Xinghuo looked at the interface information; he had gained another ability.

[Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood (First Level 1/349)]

Both the Golden Scale Iron Spine and the Rotating Magnetic Field had made significant progress. [Golden Scale Iron Spine (Fourth Level 4126/5477)], [Rotating Magnetic Field (Third Level 3305/8089)].

Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed, his conjecture had been correct—the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood had provided a significant boost to the Rotating Magnetic Field.

According to rumors, the Titanium Cobalt Dragon possessed abilities related to magnetic and electric fields.

These two abilities were propelled by the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood, saving him more than seven thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability. The Golden Scale Iron Spine was not far from reaching the fifth level.

He checked the interface.

Yesterday in Immortal City, he had obtained more than 700 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, which he could use now.

Ji Xinghuo immediately invested all of his Spiritual Origin Ability into the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood.

That feeling of body reinforcement appeared once more, and in less than half a minute, the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood advanced to the second level, becoming (Second Level 387/1499).

Following the fusion with the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood, his Star Power also increased to 742 points.

Ji Xinghuo stood in the middle of the Cultivation Room, experiencing the increase in his strength. The Star Power was secondary; what mattered most was the enhancement of his physique.

With a single thought.

His entire skin turned silvery gray, as hard as titanium alloy, with a layer of three-colored scales emerging and covering his body, exuding a breath that was awe-inspiring.

He was like a humanoid True Dragon!

Inside, it felt as if there was endless strength, never knowing fatigue.

Ji Xinghuo looked at his arms and the scales on them, knowing without testing that with his current powerful defense, he could withstand the firepower of an electromagnetic rifle even standing still, stronger than an "Iron Guard," a true Steel Body indeed.

The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood not only enhanced physical defense, but also greatly increased resistance to energy damage.

Whether it was extreme heat or cold, the tolerance range was far beyond that of ordinary mutants.

"It’s hardly human!"

Ji Xinghuo, feeling his enhancements, couldn’t help but exclaim. However, the path of life evolution was to develop in a non-human direction.

Suddenly, he began to take deep breaths. A vast amount of air was sucked into his chest, then forcefully expelled.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind swept through the Cultivation Room.

Ji Xinghuo walked out with a smile. Tan Jichun, who had been waiting outside, saw him and his eyes lit up; he quickly asked, "Was the fusion successful?"

"Yes," Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

"Congratulations," Tan Jichun said with a smile. "Although you’re not a Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man, possessing Dragon Blood naturally brings you closer to the Dayan Military. If you meet them in the future, you can consider yourself half a brother."

Ji Xinghuo thought of those Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men wearing Power Armor, tall, burly, and stylish, sweeping through the battlefield wherever they went.

Before the age of 22, that was the career he had dreamt of.

But now it’s faded.

As good and strong as Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men are, they have one drawback: they are soldiers and must absolutely obey the orders of the Legion, belonging to the Great Xia Army for life.

My current situation is the best, possessing even greater strength than the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men, along with a significant degree of autonomy.

Tan Jichun went to report to Zhou Yishang.

Ji Xinghuo went to the training department on his own, entering a gym to do some tests.

He didn’t let the swordsmen who were training watch, closed the door, and first did a few bench presses.

"Light!"

"Too light!"

Before fusing with the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood, Ji Xinghuo’s bench press had reached three tons. Now, even with a five-ton barbell, it felt almost weightless, remarkably easy.

He kept adding more weight.

Six tons, seven tons, eight tons... As the weight increased gradually, he started to feel it, ultimately reaching a ten-ton bench press!

Ji Xinghuo pushed the specially made enormous barbell with both hands, his muscles tensing, and although his body didn’t seem as exaggerated as the Giant General’s, it contained terrifying strength. He pushed it ten times in one breath without changing his expression. Though he still had some strength left, it was close to his current strength limit.

The weights for his squat and deadlift were both over fifteen tons!

"Whew..."

Ji Xinghuo let out a light breath, his heart brimming with joy.

He remembered a video he had seen in the past, featuring a legendary "Overlord", an advanced profession of a Giant General and Gravity Warrior, undergoing a strength test.

Without altering gravity, that Legendary Mutant’s bench press was 9.5 tons, half a ton lighter than his own.

The weights for his squats and deadlifts were also lighter than his own.

A typical Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man’s bench press is about five tons, only half of his, even though the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men had all merged with the "Thunder Giant," resulting in a further increase in strength. Of course, my Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood is Second Level, and I also have the Rotating Magnetic Field.

Ji Xinghuo also did a speed test. His recent spike in strength hadn’t affected his speed; on the contrary, he was even faster.

He only needed 12 seconds for the 400-meter dash!

The improvement in the 10,000-meter long-distance run was even greater, taking him just under 7 minutes to complete.

After running 10,000 meters, Ji Xinghuo wasn’t even sweating, breathing steady and at ease. The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood had increased his endurance four to five times, and his physical recovery was powerful. He felt as if he could keep running indefinitely, as though running a thousand kilometers in one go wouldn’t be a problem.

Strength, speed, defense, physical fitness, recovery, resistance—his physical qualities had enhanced across the board!

"Worthy of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood!"

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but admire.

All these tests were done without activating the Rotating Magnetic Field, just in his normal physical state. If he activated the Rotating Magnetic Field for an instant burst, the test results would be even more exaggerated.

He practiced in the gym for several hours, fully adapting to his own strength.

Many Mutants find it hard to control their newfound strength in their daily lives after evolving, often resulting in damage to items and furniture, and even accidentally injuring family and friends.

With his Microscopic Perception, Ji Xinghuo naturally didn’t have this problem.

Every muscle in his body and every movement, every exertion of strength was under his control, effortlessly smooth, with no chance of losing control or causing an accident.

Leaving Qinling Base.

In the evening, Ji Xinghuo met with Zhao Manying, and the two agreed to have dinner together.

"Did you merge with a new Alien Species?"

From the first glance she took of him, Zhao Manying sensed something different. She had accompanied him the day before to purchase expansion items, so it was easy for her to guess.

"Heh heh..." Ji Xinghuo wore a proud smile and nodded.

"What Ability is it? Can you tell me?" Zhao Manying looked at Ji Xinghuo with interest. Asking about another’s Ability is taboo, but between lovers, especially since they often sparred together, there wasn’t much restraint. She could ask without expecting an answer.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t hide anything, "Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood."

"Ah?"

Zhao Manying’s eyes widened in surprise. She had heard of the famous Transcendent Ability, and exclaimed, "You actually got your hands on Dragon Blood?"

"The mission was completed well, so the department helped me obtain it," Ji Xinghuo explained without going into too much detail.

"Let’s go!"

Zhao Manying didn’t even feel like eating anymore. "Let’s go to the Martial Arts Arena. I want to see just how powerful this Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood is."

She regretted it soon after.

"No more fighting."

Zhao Manying carelessly threw her longsword back onto the rack, her body dripping with fragrant sweat, her face filled with helplessness.

She realized that Ji Xinghuo had grown too powerful, especially in terms of strength. She used to dominate Ji Xinghuo with her kinetic energy amplification, but now he was the one suppressing her.

With every head-on collision, Zhao Manying felt as if she wasn’t facing a person but a humanoid True Dragon. Every casual strike from Ji Xinghuo was packed with terrible Giant Strength, hard to withstand. Moreover, it was clear he wasn’t even using his full strength, always holding back with ease.

"We used to be evenly matched, but now it’s more like a seventy-thirty split," Zhao Manying sighed.

Watching Ji Xinghuo, a sense of crisis bloomed in her heart.

He had only merged with one Mutant, and his strength had increased so much. Once he advanced to Super Mutant, she might not be any match for him at all.

"Not happy anymore?" Ji Xinghuo came over, put his arm around her shoulders, and chuckled.

"How could I be? I feel happy for you," Zhao Manying shook her head. "I’m worried I’ll never be able to break through my Heart Demon."

Ji Xinghuo fell silent, unsure of how to comfort her.

Zhao Manying suddenly hugged him, resting her head against his neck.

Ji Xinghuo felt her breath, inhaled her scent, and the soft touch that came from her body. His heart wasn’t filled with desire, only a peaceful warmth.

"Then let’s not break it," Zhao Manying suddenly said.

"What?" Ji Xinghuo was puzzled.

Zhao Manying propped up her upper body and seriously said while looking into Ji Xinghuo’s eyes, "If we remain lovers, or even take it a step further in the future, with a united heart, we can progress hand in hand. My interests would be yours, and your enemies mine. United in stance, inseparable. The stronger you become, the happier I am, and naturally, there would be no Heart Demon."
