118: Growth deduction!

A moment later.

After using the Seed of Poison Source, Li An first checked his physical condition, and after not noticing any discomfort, he immediately focused his gaze on the only potion that had been opened this time.

Tears of Meng Ya!

This was a light blue reagent, seemingly with tiny, shimmering sand-like particles flowing within, but in reality, it was a manifestation of the liquid solidifying.

After observing it for a few seconds, Li An unhesitatingly put it back into his portable space. Although this item could directly enhance a portion of his physical strength, its preciousness meant it was clearly not something to be used right now.

When encountering a powerful enemy, this item would undoubtedly be a life-saving tool.

Of course, besides these items, Li An also received 15,000 paradise coins, which temporarily lifted him out of poverty. Although he still hadn't joined the ranks of the wealthy, he had at least advanced to a comfortable middle-class level.

And with the 15,000 paradise coins in his account, his long-suffering wallet finally got a moment of respite.

Only then,

Li An again turned his attention to the newly opened Scavenger authority. First, he checked the Growth Deduction!

"Ding! It is detected that this is your first time activating this authority. You have received one free use."

"Ding! Do you wish to perform a Growth Deduction on yourself?"

Note: Growth Deduction is a comprehensive deduction based on the Contractor's current attributes, abilities, talents, physique, bloodline, and other aspects. The results are for reference only.

Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Li An paused, but he quickly firmed his resolve.

To be honest, he also wanted to see how far he could go with everything he currently possessed!

Without hesitation, Li An directly chose to continue the deduction.

"Ding! The Contractor has chosen to continue the deduction. The duration of this deduction is determined by the Contractor's potential!"

"Ding! Deduction beginning..."

As the notification sound fell, Li An suddenly felt the surrounding scenery rapidly receding, and by the time he reacted, he found himself in the midst of a chaotic battlefield.

Pfft!

Just then, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back. He instinctively looked down, and what immediately met his eyes was a blood-stained blade slowly emerging from his chest.

Ah!!!

Faced with the sudden injury, Li An didn't know what happened, his eyes were instantly covered in blood, and he directly reached out his five fingers and slapped backwards.

Bang!

As his palm landed, the person who ambushed Li An had his head instantly blown apart by his slap, but Li An's actions did not stop. Instead, he grabbed the ambusher's corpse and began to devour it with large bites.

Eat him!

Eat him!!!

At this moment, a strong craving spread in Li An's heart, uncontrollable. At this moment, he only wanted to release it; he needed to vent, he needed to satisfy the unknown craving in his heart.

A few seconds later, after devouring the ambusher's corpse and finishing the last bit, Li An immediately felt a warm current surging within his body. Immediately after, he felt his strength increase significantly.

In a trance, a sudden realization dawned in Li An's heart about this.

Devour!

This was the power granted by his physique!

However, just then, Li An suddenly noticed the surrounding scenery changing once again. As the space around him rapidly shifted, a thick, bloody mist also quietly appeared, then began to spread around, until it completely enveloped Li An.

In an instant, familiar or tempting voices rang out.

"Little brother, play with me! Here with me, you can do anything you want... Child, I am your grandfather, what are you standing here for? Come home with me."

"Li An! What are you doing in class? If this continues, then get out of here and go home!"

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

"He's going to die! He's almost dead!!!"

As the blood mist enveloped Li An, a large number of complex shouts immediately rang in his ears. These voices all flooded into Li An's mind, constantly stirring up his past memories.

In a trance, Li An saw his childhood crush, a beautiful person.

Then came his grandfather, his teacher, and a girl he met while fighting in underground boxing matches. That girl had short black hair and a free-spirited personality; he had always regarded her as his younger sister.

"Li An, husband, what are you still standing there for? Come home with me!"

At this moment, Li An felt as if his past crush was standing right in front of him, looking at him with a smile. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and take her hand, but the moment his hand lifted, Li An felt a warmth slide down his cheek, landing on the ground at his feet.

In an instant, Li An's previously dazed spirit immediately became resolute again, and as his spirit revived, when he looked at his past crush again, his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Let the past remain in the past."

As his voice fell, Li An's body instantly vanished from where he stood, and the former crush who had been standing in front of Li An suddenly transformed into a blood mass, floating in mid-air.

Bang!

The next second, a fist suddenly appeared, directly smashing the blood mass from behind, causing it to dissipate into a cloud of mist.

It was Li An; he had appeared behind the blood mass at some unknown point and now delivered a fatal blow to it.

Aberration!

The moment he punched and exploded the blood mass, Li An suddenly felt a realization in his heart. This was the power of the Scarlet Overlord, or rather, the power of Aberration. This power could make people sink into the past, while simultaneously causing their bodies to aberrate in the present, becoming unconscious puppet monsters!

At this moment, the scene around Li An began to change rapidly once again, but what he didn't expect was that this time he saw... another version of himself!

No! No, that's not right!!!

This should be the Hunter, an existence manifested by the Blood Demon Spirit.

"This time, you will surely die!"

Without unnecessary words, the moment Li An appeared, the Hunter opposite him had already charged towards Li An, and a roar immediately erupted.

Bang bang bang!

Facing an enemy, Li An naturally wouldn't hold back. He unhesitatingly met the Hunter and engaged him in a chaotic battle.

However, because he had already defeated the Hunter once, and Li An's control over his Devourer physique had also greatly improved, their battle lasted only a few minutes before the Hunter had a piece of its flesh torn off by Li An. Then, the Devourer effect activated, and Li An's strength increased slightly.

Half an hour later!

Under Li An's continuous attrition and Devourer, the Hunter ultimately could only collapse to the ground unwillingly, once again becoming Li An's sustenance.

Evolution!

This time, Li An almost instinctively thought of this word, but before he could ponder it further, Li An suddenly felt his eyelids heavy, and then he completely fell unconscious.
