Chapter 240: Chapter 182 Third Level Dragon Blood_2

But Ji Xinghuo was very calm.

He had always been a rational person, never governed by his lower half.

Moreover, there was someone else on his mind, if anything were to happen today, it would completely sever the potential with elder sister Ren.

"Maybe, I will have to make a choice in the future,"

"but not now."

Ji Xinghuo silently told himself.

His emotions gradually stabilized, and he used his mobile phone to control the glass landscape window, blocking the view. Immediately, the entire living room plunged into darkness, where only his breathing could be heard in the silence.

In his magnetic field perception, Zhao Manying in the bedroom hadn’t fallen asleep either; she quietly turned over on the bed.

Ji Xinghuo chuckled softly to himself.

Then, he opened the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil.

Today at the competition field, he slew the crafty genius with a single stroke, reaping the most spiritual source energy to date, a full 1150 points!

Back on Earth, the harvesting of spiritual source energy had sharply decreased.

Ji Xinghuo was even starting to miss hunting the Beiluo Shimen Clan in the Star Realm, where he would gain spiritual source energy every day.

He looked at the information on the interface.

These days, the greatest progress had been in his star power, which was now at 765 points.

The progress of other abilities had increased slightly during training exercises, but not by much. In fact, this was the normal pace of ability advancement for mutants, with any given ability taking years of use and practice to level up.

Wanxiang Star Pupil absorbed spiritual source energy, circumventing this process.

Even now, every time Ji Xinghuo thought back to the day he merged with the Wanxiang Star Pupil, he felt as if he’d spent the luck of several lifetimes to obtain this defy-heaven treasure!

He reined in his wandering thoughts and began to use the spiritual source energy.

This thousand-plus points of spiritual source energy was just enough to upgrade the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood by one level.

[Ability: Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood (Second Level 387/1499)]

As the spiritual source energy was invested, the progress sped up. Ji Xinghuo felt his blood circulation quicken; a robust energy poured into his bloodstream, spreading throughout every organ, skin, bone, and viscera, strengthening them in a clearly discernible process!

His body grew stronger and his strength surged.

Defense, burst, endurance, recovery power, and all other physical-related abilities were enhanced in every aspect.

Even the progress of Rotating Magnetic Field and Golden Scale Iron Spine, two other abilities, saw some increase.

Soon enough, Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood reached the Third Level!

The information on the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface changed to [Ability: Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood (Third Level 1/7639)].

Ji Xinghuo decisively put the remaining 30-plus points of spiritual source energy into it, increasing the Third-Level progress of Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood a bit further.

"Phew..."

He lay on the sofa, unmoving, yet he could feel the surging power within his body.

Going from Second Level to Third Level in Dragon Blood, the most significant enhancement was still the physical constitution. Besides that, Ji Xinghuo discovered he had gained an ability; when focusing his mind, he could expend star power to unleash an invisible spiritual intimidation that was effective on all nearby creatures.

"Titanium Cobalt Dragon’s dragon might?"

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t sure, feeling it was quite similar to the ability "Spiritual Intimidation."

The usefulness of this ability was actually quite limited.

Due to the existence of Mind Hackers, many mutants underwent specialized training, some even equipped with mental defense gear to fend off the mental assaults of Mind Hackers.

However, when hunting monsters, especially against a large number of low-rank creatures, this ability was quite effective.

A single glance could send a large group of monsters fleeing in panic.

"I’ll find an opportunity to test its effect."

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, wondering how many from the big summer army in the Asia-Pacific Community, like him, had raised their Dragon Blood to the Third Level?

There certainly wouldn’t be many.

It was said that the total number of the Asia-Pacific Community’s Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men was about three thousand, most of whom were super mutants. Once they donned their power armor, their strength dramatically increased, rendering them invincible on the battlefield.

The most distinctive trait of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Men was their large and strong physiques; each individual’s height exceeded two meters twenty.

The stronger the strength, the taller the figure.

This was due to another Transcendent Ability of the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Man called "Thunder Giant," which let mutants transform their bodies into that of a giant’s, possessing strength and talent comparable to a giant’s. Although it was not as rare as the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood, it was still very uncommon and extremely valuable.

"I also have a dose of Red Scale Factor, which can be used to fuse with another Alien Species."

Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts became active.

He didn’t really like Thunder Giant, because he didn’t want his body shape to become so exaggerated. It was inconvenient for life and too eye-catching.

In the Star Realm, there were many giant sub-races, with different Transformation Elements of the giant species, each accompanied by different abilities.

Thunder Giant came with the power of lightning.

This was redundant with his own Rotating Magnetic Field and Thunderbolt Hand.

If he didn’t need the power of lightning, then the most significant use of Thunder Giant would be to enhance his strength. Both magnetic field senses and Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood could achieve that, so it wasn’t worth wasting a fusion opportunity.

Moreover, like the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood, Thunder Giant was prioritized for the Great Xia military.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t believe the Sword Bureau could get him a second Transcendent Species.

After careful consideration, he gave up on the idea.

"If there aren’t any better Alien Species, I’ll have to choose between ’High-frequency Thinking’ and ’Block and Counterattack’."

The Fusion Success Rate for High-frequency Thinking was 92%, and for Block and Counterattack, it was 93%—both very high.

Ji Xinghuo was more inclined toward High-frequency Thinking.

Because this ability was one of the components of the Magnetic Field Madman’s template.

Although the Acceleration Ring came with High-frequency Thinking, which he used often and found to be outstanding, enhancing his neural response and speed of thought significantly, the High-frequency Thinking on the ring was only First Level. There was still much room for improvement in this ability.

Especially when wielding the Purple Lightning Sword.

Ji Xinghuo felt that the Purple Lightning Sword’s speed limit was far from reached; First Level High-frequency Thinking was somewhat insufficient, and he needed faster neural responses.

If it were not for the Myriad Phenomena, even with Purple Lightning Sword in hand, it would be difficult to slay a Legendary in one strike.

Moreover, the Acceleration Ring was, after all, an external object with limited potential.

Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts became more active, and he had no desire to sleep. He simply took out his smartphone to enter the Alien Species Platform and browse through the information about the species.

Before he knew it, it was past two in the morning.

"Xinghuo."

Suddenly, a very soft and low voice came from the bedroom, asking, "Aren’t you asleep yet?"

"No," Ji Xinghuo immediately replied.

"I can’t sleep either," Zhao Manying was silent for a few seconds, and then as if gathering her courage, she spoke softly, "Can you come in? I don’t mean that..." The bedroom door was opened by an invisible hand of kinetic energy with a click.

Ji Xinghuo put down his phone, his face showing surprise.

He thought for a moment and still went into the bedroom. He didn’t turn on the light, but the darkness couldn’t block his sight, and he could see everything clearly. At this moment, she didn’t have her usual absolute confidence and strength but showed a vulnerability that needed comforting.

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Xinghuo asked with concern. He did not have an impatient demeanor, nor was there any ecstatic happiness, just pure concern.

"It’s nothing, I just missed you." Zhao Manying sat up in the dark, gently patted the empty half of the bed, and said softly, "Making you sleep on the sofa isn’t good, you might catch a cold. Anyway, there’s plenty of space here, room for two, but you mustn’t try anything."

Catch a cold?

Ji Xinghuo almost laughed out loud.

With his physique, even if he were to streak through a frozen wasteland for a day and a night, he wouldn’t fall ill, let alone catch a cold.

But he did not expose this feeble excuse. Clearly, he had gained her complete trust.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony," he said.

Ji Xinghuo smiled and climbed into the bed, lying down beside her.

He immediately noticed Zhao Manying tensing up, but once she realized he wasn’t making any moves, she gradually relaxed. Then she moved closer on her own initiative, turning her back to snuggle into his embrace.

Neither of them spoke; only their breathing sounds could be heard in the bedroom.

Ji Xinghuo wrapped his arm around her, hugging her a little tighter, smelling the fragrance of her hair. His mind gradually calmed down, and he felt very at peace.

Before he knew it, he had drifted off to sleep.
