Chapter 206 – Fourth Enhancement, 100,000 Volt (1)

Half a month later, at the Imperial Hunter Base.

Every day, there would be hunters with nowhere to vent their energy gathered in the tavern to drink and brag about their hunting achievements. It was boisterous as usual.

At this moment, in the lively tavern, Jason was wiping the blade of his Raging Inferno in the crowd. He was silent and seemed to be incongruous with the atmosphere.

The other hunters were used to it. After spending more than half a year together, the hunters in the base were already familiar with his style. They knew that he usually did not speak during lively occasions.

In the placement mode, Jason usually did not take the initiative to speak. However, even when he spoke, he was concise.

At this moment, Jason stopped wiping his blade. His calm eyes suddenly lit up.

Without a sound, he exited the placement mode when Zhou Jing projected his consciousness to the Astral Apostle.

“I’ve finally switched over.”

Zhou Jing twisted his neck, and a powerful feeling filled his entire body, making him sigh in relief.

was

This kind of fierce man was the right one! It was not something that Bill, that little chick, could compare to.

He used Bill to make the V3 Potion in the Golden Castle, then patiently waited for his cooldown to end. When he traveled again, he chose to switch to the apostle. This time, he chose to project himself on Jason.

This time, he switched so that he could prepare to take the new potion to undergo his fourth enhancement. If nothing went wrong, he planned to switch back to Bill next time and wait for Roman’s reply before personally coming out to communicate with the other party. He had to do this delicate communication work himself in order to grasp the right attitude.

Zhou Jing did not delay. He immediately stood up and left the tavern, heading straight for the workshop on the base.

Bill had already made the V3 potion that belonged to Jason and handed it to the workshop. They were just waiting for him to apply for it.

The other two test subjects in the same batch had not yet taken the new potion. They were still adjusting their states, and the King did not rush them either.

Zhou Jing applied at the workshop at noon. In the afternoon, the V3 Potion was sent to him by a specialized messenger. The efficiency was not low at all.

It was a bottle of fluorescent silver-blue potion, like a ball of liquid lightning.

“The Aurora Dragon Potion is ranked at the top of all the fatal mutant beasts that can discharge electricity. It’s one of the current three formulas for the Electric Type V3 Potion…”

Zhou Jing played with the potion happily.

The mutant blood potion was personally made by his apostle, so he had full control over the quality.

At this moment, the bottle of V3 Mutant Blood Potion in his hand was of the highest quality. Bill had made a total of six finished products before he could produce this bottle which was of strong effect. He had spent the resources of the government, so it was suitable for him to pursue the ultimate blood potion strength. In any case, the King was rich and powerful, so it was a waste not to use this opportunity.

Zhou Jing put away the potion and did not delay. He brought Ross out of the base, going to a deserted place to perform his enhancement.

Because Bill had spoken up, the King took the suggestion and decided to respect everyone’s enhancement habits, giving the hunters a certain amount of trust. This was also mainly because the formula was difficult to analyze in reverse, so when Zhou Jing left the base despite receiving the potion, he was not stopped.

The sun gradually set, and the starry sky hung in the sky.

After trekking all night, Zhou Jing arrived at the forest where he had enhanced himself last

time.

He checked around to make sure that no one was following him before letting Ross guard him. He took out the V3 Potion and drank it without hesitation.

The texture was numbing. He felt as if he had swallowed a charged version of chili water, almost making him choke.

“It’s time to test my luck! I’m so handsome, I should be able to increase the success rate by 10%.”

Zhou Jing wiped his lips and threw the empty bottle away before trying to psych himself up.

He was already very familiar with the process of enhancing through the mutant blood. He sat obediently under a tree and waited patiently for the potion to take effect.

Not long after, an electric current was born in his body, becoming more and more intense.

Soon, it was as if his entire body was electrocuted, and a charred smell filled the air.

Sizzle

Zhou Jing found breathing difficult, and his eyes involuntarily rolled backward. He felt as if all his organs had been electrocuted.

The pain this time was much more intense than the previous times.

Under the double effect of (Intermediate Lightning Resistance) and his Second Order Resistance trait (Elemental Resistance), his body managed to withstand the explosive electric current, preventing the damage from reaching an unbearable level and reducing his chance of dying immediately.

“As expected, the enhancement process of the V3 Potion requires the relevant resistance to resist… Fortunately, I chose the element resistance trait. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.”

Zhou Jing gritted his teeth and endured the continuous electric currents rampaging about his body.

Sizzle

The pain sometimes rose to a crescendo, causing his entire body to twitch and making it difficult for him to breathe. Sometimes, the pain would fall to the bottom, causing him to sweat profusely and gasp for breath. The process kept repeating, torturing him to the point of wanting to die. A few times, he was electrocuted until he was in a daze. Large amounts of memories appeared in front of his eyes uncontrollably, like a life lantern replaying his scenes. He would only realize that he was still conscious when he snapped out of his daze.

After suffering for an unknown period of time, Zhou Jing realized that the pain was slowly decreasing. What replaced it was a comfortable numbness accompanied by a pang of intense hunger.

His body, which had lost control, gradually came back under his control. The source of his expanding power now seemed endless.

At the same time, a brand new sense was born, as if an invisible limb had appeared out of thin air.

Zhou Jing subconsciously controlled his new senses and felt a numbing sensation in his chest. It was as if a rat was rushing around in his body, looking for an exit.

As luck would have it, he instinctively raised his hand.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a fork of lightning shot out and hit the ground a distance away from him.

Crackle! A pile of dried leaves was instantly ignited.

“It was a success!” Zhou Jing was overjoyed.

Great, he could finally shoot something now!

He impatiently opened the interface to see his new attributes.

(Jason:Wood – Eternal Apostle]

(Supernatural Power System — [Mutant Blood Warrior), Tier increased]

[Mutant Blood Warrior: Fourth Enhancement (Aurora Dragon)]

[Effect: +16 Physical Fitness, +15 Resistance, +10 Perception, +6 Spirit, +15 Energy) (Current Attributes: Physical Fitness 79, Resistance 58, Perception 40 (First Order Max), Spirit 12, Energy 20] (Fourth Enhancement Features: (Power of the Ferocious Dragon II], [High Speed Stance II), (Advanced Lightning Resistance], [Electrical Perception) (Special), (Lightning Release] (Special)]

[Power of the Ferocious Dragon II]

[Effect: Possesses the powerful physique of a dragon species. The strength of its muscles and bones will be further increased, greatly increasing its strength and ability to withstand impact.)

[High Speed Stance II]

[Effect: Your movements have become more agile, your motor neurons are stronger, and your attack, parry, and movement speed are greatly increased.] (Advanced Lightning Resistance)

[Effect: You have a high tolerance for lightning. It is very difficult for you to be affected by electric shocks.]

(Electrical Perception (Special)]

[Effect: Your sixth sense has increased slightly, and your senses have become sharper. You can predict danger to a certain extent. At the same time, if you are under an electric shock, your reaction speed and perception will be greatly enhanced.]

[Lightning Release (Special)]

[Effect: Your mutated cells have undergone biological mutation. It can absorb the free energy of the natural world or consume the energy of the body (Physical Fitness) to release lightning. The strength of the electric shock, the consumption of Physical Fitness, the speed of recovery of electricity, and the killing distance depends on the “Energy” attribute.]

“This effect of the potion is pretty strong. Last time, it was an increase of 45 points in total attributes. This time, it’s an increase of 62 points!”

Zhou Jing was ecstatic.

The additional attributes were mainly assigned to the Energy attribute. This should be the strengthening characteristic of the V3 Potion.

The total attributes of his four enhancements only differed by 20 to 30 points away from the five-time enhancers like Keriber and Irene. As for the individual attribute of Physical Fitness, he had completely reached the range of a five enhancement user.

That was thanks to his new mastery of more than ten Hunter’s Breathing Techniques. The new Hunter’s Breathing Techniques he had just learned were all at LV4 Mastery, giving him +5 Physical Fitness, +3 Resistance, and +2 Perception.

During this period of time, Zhou Jing mainly focused on cultivating Hunter’s Breath: Forging. This was because after comparing it, he realized that the attributes given by this breathing technique were the highest and the most cost-effective. He was not far from leveling it up once more.

There were many attribute bonuses for his fourth enhancement of the Mutant Blood, but the most helpful characteristic towards combat this time was his special skill (Lightning Release]. With an energy attack method, it directly widened the gap between him and the other Mutant Blood Warriors.

“As we fight, I’ll take the time to send a bolt of lightning to paralyze the enemy. I’ll take the opportunity when they’re paralyzed to cut off their heads and end the battle directly. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Zhou Jing was excited as he carefully tested his abilities.

Lightning constantly lit up in the forest, emitting crackling sounds of electricity, causing flames to be ignited in all directions and the trees to sway.

After testing for a while, Zhou Jing roughly understood the effect of (Lightning Release].

The power of the lightning could be controlled, and the consumption of Physical Fitness was different. The greatest power was weaker than ordinary lightning in the natural world, but its strength was still very impressive. It even had additional effects such as high temperatures and explosions… According to the interpretation of the ability, the stronger one’s energy attribute, the greater the power of the electric shock.

Because of the enhancement of the (Internal Electric Discharge] characteristic, he already had the ability to store electricity. After this enhancement, he could probably shoot out five max-powered lightning bolts in a row or maintain the maximum intensity for a few seconds. After the stored electricity was exhausted, there would be a gap between each discharge. He had to wait for the electricity to naturally accumulate or squeeze out his Physical Fitness to quickly produce lightning… Zhou Jing had tried it before, and it drained quite a bit of Physical Fitness for each lightning burst released.

If he purely used his lightning attacks to fight, he estimated that he would be exhausted after releasing more than 30 bolts in a battle. The efficiency of energy utilization was inferior to melee combat, so he could only treat it as a special trump card. It could not replace conventional melee combat.

In addition, the effective range of the electric shock was about 35 to 50 meters. If he aimed further than this, the power would be greatly reduced. It was basically harmless from 80 meters away. In this aspect, it was far inferior to natural lightning.

After some research and experience, Zhou Jing roughly determined that the discharge ability was similar to Esper’s power. Its power and distance depended on the strength of the individual, mainly relying on the energy attribute.

Because Jason’s energy attribute was only 20, the lethality of (Lightning Release] was not too strong… But if he could continue to increase it, would he become Electro?

“Perhaps it the effect of the V3 Potion is to awaken a person’s Esper abilities?”

Zhou Jing could not calm down.

In addition to the long-range electric shock, he also thought of other ways to use his abilities.

For example, it could be attached to the surface of the body or a weapon, allowing his melee combat to have an additional electric shock. Or it could be stimulated with the [Internal Electric Discharge] to strengthen the body, allowing the speed to soar to a new level. He could even use it as a lightning rod in a thunderstorm, then hug the enemy and kill them.

It was even used to stimulate his scalp, make his hair stand on end, and create a hairstyle that spiked so high that it could touch the sky.

After figuring out the limits of his abilities, Zhou Jing stopped his research.

Jason, the Eternal Apostle, had reached the fourth enhancement. This ability entered the library of his main body, making him happy and satisfied.

With his supernatural body and the electric shock ability that was similar to an Esper’s, it gave his main body more possibilities.

Seeing that the forest was in a mess from the lightning, Zhou Jing quickly extinguished the flames to prevent the area from turning into a forest fire.

Because he was worried that he would lose control during the enhancement, he only went out after emptying his intestines. At this moment, his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

However, he was prepared and had Ross bring a lot of food.

Ross, who had rather “intelligent eyes,” was waiting at the side. He was carrying kitchenware and bags of ingredients on his back. Under Zhou Jing’s orders, he threw everything in the pot to cook.

Although Ross’s culinary skills were limited to heating food, and he did not even think about the color, fragrance, and taste, Zhou Jing was extremely hungry. He was not picky at all and ate heartily. As long as it was edible, he would stuff it into his mouth.

Not long after, Zhou Jing finished seven to eight servings of food and was about half full.

He sighed comfortably and rubbed his stomach as he pondered.

“Fortunately, I succeeded and didn’t die suddenly. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome. Looks like my luck is good…

“When I go back this time, I can fight Keriber. With my attributes, I should be able to put up a fight against him. I can show the Empire my enhanced combat strength and see how strong my enhancements are compared to a five-time enhancer.”
