Chapter 60: Records

It was past 11: 0 PM when Li Fei returned home.

He almost ran back to his room, picked up the medicine bottle on his desk, and took one Embryo-Nurturing Pill.

After a few seconds, he took another, and the intense hunger in his body finally began to subside.

"Hoo—"

Li Fei let out a heavy breath.

He had already taken an Embryo-Nurturing Pill today, which meant the Steel Armor implant in his body had indeed been positively stimulated, causing the hunger to return.

Taking advantage of the lingering medicinal effect, Li Fei practiced the Heavenly Stellar One-Qi Stance in his room for over thirty minutes until he was drenched in sweat, then stopped and began applying the Jin Kui Ointment.

Only after the applied Jin Kui Ointment was fully absorbed did Li Fei feel the Steel Armor implant in his body settle down again.

"So, using Blood Rage really does stimulate the implant in my body."

Li Fei was now basically certain of this.

He checked the Myriad Blood Bead:

【Level: 4, 47%

Blood Soul: 18 beads + 16%】

The damage from the implant's stimulation, combined with the damage from the Embryo-Nurturing Pill and Jin Kui Ointment, allowed the Myriad Blood Bead to absorb over ten percent of energy at once—more than the energy gained from a whole day of cultivation.

"Let's try using Blood Rage to stimulate the implant again."

Li Fei activated "Blood Rage" once more, consuming 1 Blood Soul.

The familiar warm current appeared again, surging through Li Fei's entire body.

But this time, until the duration of "Blood Rage" ended, he did not feel any unusual movement from the implant.

"What's going on?"

Li Fei was stunned.

"Could it be that the stimulation wasn't enough?"

He quickly thought of a reason.

The first time he used "Blood Rage," it consumed 1 Blood Soul. Tonight, when he used "Blood Rage" in the ring, it consumed 2 Blood Souls.

The Steel Armor implant in his body had already adapted to the stimulation from 2 Blood Souls, so if he wanted to trigger another reaction, he had to consume more Blood Souls to provide greater stimulation?

Thinking of this, Li Fei directly consumed 3 Blood Souls and activated "Blood Rage" again.

He had plenty of Blood Souls anyway, so he could experiment boldly.

This time, the warm current in his body surged like a river!

Li Fei let out a muffled groan, a look of pain appearing on his face.

Since crossing over, thanks to the existence of the Myriad Blood Bead, he hadn't experienced such intense pain in a long time.

The power in his body was too turbulent; his body felt like it was about to explode!

Li Fei was covered in sweat, his veins bulging all over, his body curled into a ball on the floor.

Worried about waking Li Lei and the others who were already asleep, he gritted his teeth and made no sound.

The Myriad Blood Bead in his body showed no abnormalities, and the Blood Souls were dropping slowly. At this rate, they certainly wouldn't drop much within a minute, so Li Fei told himself he just had to grit his teeth and endure this minute.

"Hhh... hhh..."

Only Li Fei's heavy, ragged breathing remained in the room.

During this process, he could clearly feel the unusual movement of the Steel Armor implant; the surging power in his body tried to break through, while the implant beneath his skin held that power firmly in check, the two constantly colliding.

A minute later, the warm current in his body vanished, and the feeling of being about to explode disappeared with it. Li Fei finally recovered.

He checked the Myriad Blood Bead in his body; the Blood Souls had decreased by nearly 1, but the energy hadn't increased at all.

"Because this is damage caused by a Blood Soul technique, the Myriad Blood Bead won't share the burden, so naturally, it can't absorb energy?"

Li Fei's brain was spinning rapidly.

His physical state was closely linked to his Blood Souls; the Blood Soul data was like his personal health bar. It was just that before, when the health bar decreased, the vast majority of the damage was shared by the Myriad Blood Bead, reducing the damage his body took and naturally lessening the pain he felt.

But this time, it was the exact opposite: his body took all the damage, and the health bar decreased accordingly.

"First, the Myriad Blood Bead won't share the damage caused by Blood Soul techniques. Second, my current physical strength can only withstand the Blood Rage of 2 Blood Souls at most; any more will hurt myself."

Li Fei quickly summarized.

Then, an intense hunger followed.

Li Fei's face turned pale, and he saw stars; this hunger was unprecedented!

He hurriedly got up, picked up the medicine bottle on the table, and poured out an Embryo-Nurturing Pill to take.

But the hunger was not relieved; instead, it grew even more intense.

Li Fei simply poured out all the remaining Embryo-Nurturing Pills in the bottle and took them all at once!

After a few seconds, that terrifying hunger finally began to subside slowly.

Thus, Li Fei began his embryo-nurturing training, starting with the Heavenly Stellar One-Qi Stance, then applying the Jin Kui Ointment.

After tossing and turning for over two hours, he stopped.

The Embryo-Nurturing Pills and Jin Kui Ointment he had bought were originally a month's supply, but now they were all used up.

Li Fei checked the Myriad Blood Bead in his body:

【Level: 4, 81%

Blood Soul: 13 beads + 27%】

The energy had increased by 34%!

Next, he only needed to train normally, and in two days, he could upgrade the Myriad Blood Bead.

Besides that, he felt that the Steel Armor implant in his body had also grown significantly.

After wiping off the sweat and putting his clothes back on, Li Fei looked out the window.

Tonight, the moonlight was like water, and the night breeze blew gently past the window.

Li Fei stood by the window for a while, then turned and walked toward the bed.

Tonight should be a good dream.

The next morning, his biological clock allowed Li Fei to open his eyes and wake up right on time.

"Hmm?"

When he got out of bed, he saw a large amount of black hair on the sheets.

He touched his face and felt that his skin was much smoother than yesterday, becoming tighter and full of resilience.

"What is this?"

He hurriedly took off his pajamas and discovered that the skin all over his body had undergone the same change, and all the fine hair on his skin had fallen off, making him look much fairer.

"It should be a good change."

He thought to himself, then walked out of the room to wash up.

In the living room, Li Tianyu, who was eating breakfast with him, stared at Li Fei for a long while:

"Why do I feel like you suddenly became a bit more handsome?"

Li Fei laughed: "Was I not handsome before?"

"How come your skin got thicker after you went to the Martial Arts Hall?"

"You're actually right about that; the implant I'm using really does make the skin thicker."

"Hahahahaha."

The living room was filled with laughter.

After breakfast, Li Fei ran to the Martial Arts Hall.

After seeing Hao Yi, he told him about the changes he had discovered this morning.

Upon hearing this, Hao Yi stepped forward, grabbed Li Fei's arm to look closely, pressed down with his fingers, and was both shocked and delighted:

"All body hair falling off, skin becoming resilient—this is the Steel Armor implant replacing your skin tissue!"

"Replacing skin tissue? Have I already reached the Body-Breaking Realm?"

Li Fei asked in surprise.

"Once the Steel Armor implant completes the initial replacement of your skin tissue, you will have officially entered the Body-Breaking Realm. This process takes about 10 to 15 days."

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a complex expression:

"Do you know what the fastest record from Embryo-Nurturing to Body-Breaking at Martial Peace University is?"

Li Fei shook his head.

"It's 28 days."

"If you get into Martial Peace University this year, you will very likely break that record!"
