Chapter 57: Mutant Blood Strengthening (1)

“Wow, this dumbass’s luck is not bad. An ordinary person has such a low success rate, but he somehow managed to get enhanced.”

Zhou Jing clicked his tongue.

He had heard from Barong that among the 50 ordinary people who had not undergone training, only two or three of them had managed to successfully strengthen themselves with mutant blood. Ross’ luck attribute was really a little good.

Could the heavens really favor idiots?

Zhou Jing shook his head and ordered, “Take off your clothes and give them to me.”

Ross took off his shirt without expression.

His originally ordinary body now had streamlined muscles. It was a muscular but lean figure.

“Good figure… put it on.”

Zhou Jing nodded and noted down the obvious changes in Ross’s body.

The change was not big. It was fine so long as he was covered. He would not be discovered so easily.

He watched the entire process and had a rough idea of the process of strengthening the mutant blood. After the potion began to metabolize, the body would begin to change. There would be a certain amount of pain in the process, but one would still retain their mobility. One’s strength would continue to increase in this state until the potion’s effect was fully utilized. The entire process would take about three to four hours.

This time, Ross won the bet. Zhou Jing was quite excited about the result.

Now that Ross had obtained supernatural power, his follower was finally useful.

Although the enhancement was limited, and he was a whiteboard without any other combat skills, he could still more or less be considered a combatant now. At the very least, it was not a problem to bully ordinary people…

“Night vision, lithe movements, night camouflage… Suitable for stealth, reconnaissance, and concealment. This is indeed the direction of enhancement.”

Zhou Jing looked at the introduction on the interface.

The super system of the [Mutant Blood Warrior] would bring about some characteristics every time it was strengthened, depending on the potion used and the effect of this enhancement.

Ross’s three characteristics were all suitable for stealth. Coupled with his common face, his presence diminished even further.

He had chosen this blood potion for Ross because he wanted Ross to take the stealth route. Ross would definitely need to do some things that were inconvenient for him to do personally.

He was kind-hearted and did not want Ross to lose the chance to “contribute.”

For example, surveillance and stalking, as well as the thrilling art of monster luring… He knew that Ross liked this kind of work the most, and his face full of willingness showed his desire.

Such an ability was not suitable for a head-on battle. At most, it could serve as a distraction. Zhou Jing was also well aware of this point.

He did not expect his follower to be able to withstand the mutated beasts even after the strengthening. After all, his followers only had an ordinary person’s initial attributes. Without the foundation of the Astral Apostle’s attribute, even if the enhancement succeeded, his direct combat strength would still be limited.

Moreover, with Ross’s rigidity towards following instructions, Zhou Jing did not dare to let him take charge. It was better for him to be an assistant.

“Ross is suitable for night operations. Although he has the foundation of a Super now, he doesn’t have many skills at the moment. He still needs to practice before he can enter actual combat.”

“Next, it’s my turn to strengthen… Hmm, let’s wait for Barong to come back first.”

Zhou Jing composed himself as he remembered Barong’s instructions.

He asked Ross to keep a low profile while he silently adjusted his mental state.

...

It was only when the guards outside rang the bell and began the routine curfew did Barong then return to his hotel room.

Zhou Jing opened his eyes and shook his head. “Why are you only back now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Barong rubbed the back of his head and smiled in embarrassment.

“Haha, sorry, sorry. I met a few friends and chatted for a while… Are you ready?”

“I’m fine. I can use the blood potion now.”

“Then I’ll watch from the side. If anything goes wrong, I’ll… Uh, I can’t do anything if something goes wrong. I can only help you guard the door.”

Or collect a corpse… Barong did not finish the sentence. It was not auspicious to start off such a major task by saying such things.

He took a chair and sat by the door with his arms crossed. His eyes were wide open. From this angle, he looked like a door deity.

Zhou Jing retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. He picked up the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion and drank it in one gulp.

Boom!!!

It was as if he had swallowed a mouthful of lightning, and his body shook as if he had been electrocuted.

After a while, the medicine slowly took effect. The veins on his face bulged. He felt his flesh and bones being twisted like a towel, and waves of pain surged out.

“Hiss…”

Zhou Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he endured the pain.

Waves of power were born along with the pain. He could feel his body slowly becoming stronger with the pain. His physical fitness seemed to have broken through some kind of boundary and rose steadily.

But, even though it felt very painful, it didn’t seem to be that difficult to endure. Could this body’s talent… [Tenacity] be taking effect?

Barong could not take his eyes off him, watching worriedly from the side.

He felt that with Zhou Jing’s exaggerated physique, it was impossible for him to fail in strengthening. But, before it became a fact, he could not help but feel nervous and worried.

After all, this was the first time he had seen such a case. He did not know what would happen if an ordinary person, who was no weaker than a Mutant Blood Warrior, enhanced his basic body.

Time passed minute by minute. Zhou Jing’s entire body trembled slightly, and his sweat drenched the floor.

About three hours later, the pain gradually subsided and turned into a scalding numbness.

Zhou Jing felt as if he had been reborn, and his entire body was filled with a powerful aura.

He could not help but clench his fists. He had the illusion that he could smash anything he saw at this moment.

“There are no symptoms of discomfort… The enhancement was successful, right?”

He took a deep breath and glanced at the interface. The message had already flooded the screen.
