Chapter 206

When Jie Ming slowly woke up from a deep coma, his vision was still a bit blurry.

He felt his eyelids were as heavy as lead, and the whole world was swaying in a hazy light and shadow.

In a trance, he vaguely felt a blurry figure beside him, seemingly guarding him quietly all along.

"You're awake." A female voice, gentle as water and carrying healing power, sounded softly in his ear, "Is there anything else unusual about your body?"

This voice was full of concern, causing Jie Ming's nerves, which were tense due to serious injury, to subconsciously relax a little.

However, it was also at this moment that his blurry vision finally refocused and became clear.

Following that, however, was an unbelievable confusion,

because he found that the one standing beside him, guarding him, was not some gentle female therapist at all, but an automatic puppet constructed entirely of silver-white material like liquid metal, with blue energy light flickering at its joints.

That gentle female voice came precisely from the sound-producing device within the puppet's chest cavity.

"!!!"

The huge contrast was like a blow to the head, instantly shattering all of Jie Ming's drowsiness!

He immediately woke up, suddenly springing up from the soft hospital bed!

His body's instinct made him instantly enter a state of combat readiness, but immediately, he noticed that there was no hostility on this puppet,

it was just standing quietly to the side.

He quickly felt his body's condition:

Both spiritual power and true essence in his body were full and complete.

The serious injury that felt like being torn apart before had also disappeared without a trace, and his body state was even a bit better than before the injury!

It seemed that during his coma, the camp had used quite good magic potions to treat him.

"No, something's not right." Jie Ming frowned slightly; he keenly felt that his body had undergone some special and deeper changes.

This change did not stem from the magic potion, but from the origin of his body.

After a little thought, he speculated that this was likely the "Body Refining Technique," allowing his body to have a further instinctive adaptation to the extreme weakness and backlash damage after light transformation.

"Adaptive evolution?"

A flash of realization crossed Jie Ming's eyes.

That is to say, next time, when he faces the same type of weakness and damage again, his body will have stronger adaptability, recovery speed will be faster, and the damage received will be smaller!

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Body refining is indeed the technique specifically used for attacking and conquering in the cultivation world!

Its core mystery lies in seeking ultimate strength through constant destruction and reshaping.

It can be said that every injury received, as long as it doesn't result in immediate death, will allow the body to gain a precious "adaptive evolution"!

As body refiners experience more and more diverse injuries, their body's resistance will also become increasingly exaggerated.

The same fatal blow might be a dead end for ordinary cultivators, but for high-tier body refiners, it might just be a minor injury that doesn't even require recuperation.

"This is also good." Jie Ming clenched his fists, feeling the more solid and resilient power in his body, "Next time I encounter something similar, my ability to resist will be stronger. At least, I won't faint on the spot after light transformation."

After sighing at the wonderful changes in his body, Jie Ming cast his gaze toward the silver puppet beside him.

"How is the situation in the camp now? How long have I been in a coma?" he asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

The silver puppet still answered Jie Ming's questions carefully with that gentle female voice:

"Wizard Jie Ming, hello. You have only been in a coma for less than half a day. Because of the key intelligence you provided, our second-layer defensive node has clearly captured the whereabouts of the lava giant and snow monster joint army."

"Therefore, the command headquarters has made corresponding deployments. Most combat wizards have already gone to the third-layer defensive node for support and defense."

"In addition, you have also received a mandatory mission from the camp. Master Roland (another Tier 5 wizard) instructed that if you wake up, please go to your laboratory as soon as possible and start manufacturing biochemical beasts immediately to provide cannon fodder support for the frontline!"

"Understood." Jie Ming nodded.

The situation was even better than he had initially expected.

Since his body had recovered, Jie Ming did not intend to continue resting.

Getting off the hospital bed nimbly, Jie Ming left this temporary ward and quickly returned to his laboratory.

When the laboratory door opened, the scene before him made him pause slightly.

He saw that his originally spacious laboratory was now piled with a mountain of materials.

These materials were of many kinds; only a small part were flesh tissues exuding a bloody smell, and most were energy cores similar to those of lava giants,

still exuding residual heat, as well as various high-energy crystals.

Besides this, there was a constant stream of materials emerging from the spatial teleportation array not far away.

Considering that Jie Ming mainly researched lava giants, the mission arranged for him by the camp command was precisely to provide corresponding cannon fodder to support the battle line in the Blazing Sun Realm direction.

"Time is tight—" Jie Ming took a deep breath, without any extra nonsense.

He quickly organized these materials, categorized them, and then buried himself in the laboratory, immersed in crazy creation.

Another half month passed.

In the laboratory, Jie Ming stood before a row of neatly lined-up creations, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He saw before him a whole row of biochemical beasts that looked like enlarged versions of lava giants, but with even more ferocious and terrifying forms, standing quietly.

Their basic forms retained the lava giants' sturdiness and sense of power, but the details had been devilishly modified by Jie Ming.

Some had several extra heads that could spray different attribute flames, while others grew six or even eight thick arms, with sharp bone blades or heavy hammers at the ends of the arms.

Inside their bodies, it was no longer simple lava, but alchemical molten liquid with higher explosiveness and corrosiveness formulated by Jie Ming!

"Go, my children." Jie Ming nodded with satisfaction and activated the spatial teleportation device next to the laboratory.

These killing machines he had painstakingly manufactured were precisely teleported to the designated material distribution point on the frontline amidst a spatial fluctuation.

After doing all this, Jie Ming glanced at the empty laboratory.

The stored materials had been exhausted, and what made him regret was that the camp seemed to no longer provide new materials.

Instead, a latest mandatory mission from the command headquarters popped up on his magic network terminal!

【Order: All wizards, leave the core area of the camp immediately and go to your designated defensive nodes to assist in the battle!】

This mission requirement revealed an indescribable strangeness.

Abandoning the sturdy fortress to take the initiative to meet the enemy outside the city?

In any military strategy, this looked like a suicidal act.

However, unexpectedly, after this order was issued, the wizards in the entire camp performed exceptionally calmly, without the slightest chaos or questioning.

After all, from the moment Master Augustine forcibly drove the ship plane to leave the Flame Frost Plane.

All wizards knew that the high-level plan must have other intentions.

Those of them who were left behind were both defenders and, I'm afraid, —bait.

It's just that when signing up for this plane war, the wizards also signed relevant contracts.

It clearly stipulated that unless the few Tier 5 wizards at the very top, or the Tier 6 wizard himself allowed it, no wizard could flee from the battle.

Fortunately, this contract also had restrictions on the commander himself.

When arranging combat missions, the commander must consider the overall level and survival rate of the wizards, ensuring that the mission's losses are controlled within a certain range.

So, no matter what earth-shattering plans Wizard Augustine had, unless he completely overturned due to lack of intelligence, everyone's arrangement would be a mission within their capabilities.

It might be very dangerous, but it was definitely not a dead end.

Jie Ming had the same attitude.

He casually closed the magic network terminal, thought for a moment, and took down the auxiliary equipment he had made while manufacturing biochemical beasts in the laboratory one by one, stuffing them into his spatial expansion bag.

Afterward, Jie Ming walked out of the laboratory without nostalgia.

Arriving outside the camp, he found wizards with solemn expressions leaving the core fortress from all directions.

Like streams flowing into the sea, they gathered at the scattered defensive nodes in the surrounding area.

At the same time, behind these wizards, they were followed by a large number of biochemical beasts of various shapes and strange forms.

There were the multi-headed and multi-armed lava giant beasts manufactured by Jie Ming, as well as terrifying creations like metal spiders, bone dragons, or rotten flesh stitch monsters manufactured by other wizards.

A coalition army composed of wizards and monsters was rapidly taking shape.

Jie Ming checked on the terminal and found that he had been arranged to the side near the Blazing Sun Realm.

It seemed that the three Tier 5 wizards in command still had a plan in mind and didn't arrange it randomly.

Jie Ming followed the guidance of the terminal and quickly found the node he needed to guard.

There were already more than a dozen wizards in the node. Seeing Jie Ming arrive, the wizards' reactions were also very calm, just glancing at him and then going about their own business.

Soon, with an emergency alarm that pierced the sky, spreading across the entire sky, all the wizards stopped in their tracks.

Jie Ming, who was installing equipment, suddenly raised his head and cast his vision toward the distant end of the sky.

There, an airtight elemental torrent constructed of fire and lava was surging from the end of the horizon.

Looking from afar, it didn't seem like an army, but a moving burning continent!
