67: Leap!

Spirit Medicine brings about a physical leap.

The Great Turtle was clearly a lifeform that had already undergone such a leap.

So, what was the difference between it and a second-tier resource?

The only difference was that it was alive and could move.

But one eats when hungry.

This was the natural order of things.

Ye Su didn't feel any psychological discomfort about it at all.

As his blood qi circulated, he continuously extracted the life essence of the Great Turtle.

This life essence was more explosive than Spirit Medicine, and even carried the erosion of 'Demonic Qi'.

However...

Faced with the erosion of 'Demonic Qi', the heart ape acted as if it were nothing—its ancient, tyrannical aura was far more violent and intense than 'Demonic Qi'!

Having been influenced by it for a long time, Ye Su's immunity to 'Demonic Qi' was already maxed out.

The only problem now was...

His appetite was too small!

Even a tiny strand of the Great Turtle's life essence made Ye Su's whole body burn, as if every part of him was on fire.

He could almost feel every cell wailing and shriveling in the flames, only to be filled to bursting again by the replenishment of life essence.

This was a tempering process.

During this process, cell vitality increased, tolerance increased, and toughness increased.

Tempered into steel through a hundred refinements!

In this way, through round after round of tempering, Ye Su felt his Physique strengthening every single moment.

On his interface, his Physique was rapidly increasing at a rate of 0.1 at a time.

25.

30.

35.

---Fast, too fast!

Ye Su's Physique was rising rapidly.

This speed was nothing short of a leap!

The Great Turtle, this living treasure medicine, didn't feel much of anything regarding this.

It only felt a slight physical discomfort.

It was simply too large.

Like a cruise ship, how much could the tiny Ye Su possibly eat?

Time passed bit by bit.

Ye Su soon reached the Physique limit restricted by the Rain Water solar term;

40 points!

He now stood at the Peak of all Professionals.

There were simply no resources on the entire globe that could push a Professional's Physique to this level.

It wasn't for lack of desire, but a lack of resources!

'40 points is the limit of this world at the moment, but it's not my limit!'

Ye Su took a deep breath and thought to himself.

As a Transcendence Master.

His true extraordinary nature was gradually revealing itself.

Breaking limits.

The Breakthrough of values wasn't just a start from 0 to 1.

It was a true transcendence.

This meant that within the ranks of Professionals, there was another sky above the Peak.

And Ye Su would always stand atop that sky.

'40 points of Physique has increased my combat power exponentially.'

'However, to complete the transformation from quantity to quality, I need to push my Physique beyond 40 points.'

'I have a premonition that above 40 points of Physique, there is another world entirely.'

Stuck at 40 points of Physique, Ye Su's understanding grew clearer.

The King-level Lifeform mentioned vaguely in the letter should refer to a life leap.

And the first leap for humanity might just be at 41 points of Physique!

Whoosh—In a hollow cavity, Ye Su continuously adjusted his state.

The Tai Xuan Scripture and Tai Shou Scripture circulated rapidly.

Even the heart ape stopped its roaring, occasionally beating its chest a few times.

This was preparation, a wholehearted preparation.

The next second.

After taking a deep breath.

Ye Su's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Amidst his surging blood qi, a red mist seemed to come alive, establishing a cycle outside his body!

His blood qi connected to the Great Turtle's blood qi circulation, beginning the most frantic plunder!

Surging life essence entered his body.

Bringing with it a tearing pain.

Just like his initial Awakening on the rooftop of the building.

Ye Su!

Began to enter the stage of life leap!

---Ye Su was dead.

This was a fact that many were unwilling to admit but had to.

The Great Turtle carried the Xiang River fish demons downstream.

In the middle of the river, the Great Turtle was like a ship.

It swam leisurely, its composed manner truly hateful.

Only, it would twitch occasionally, which felt strange.

It didn't care.

It thought it was the wounds blasted into it when it went ashore last time being repaired; a little abnormality in the body was normal.

“I can't take it anymore. I'm applying to give it a taste of a mushroom!”

Cui Hu said fiercely on the shore.

Then, the application went straight to the high-level leadership.

But—the high-level leadership did not approve.

The current situation was the best possible situation.

The Great Turtle was no longer commanding the fish demons to harass the shore.

Just let it enter the ocean.

Fish demons, sea demons.

Same origin, different species.

There would be a struggle when it entered the ocean; it might even die there.

There was no need to cause more trouble.

Although Great Xia was gradually becoming less afraid of the rain's invasion, the situation was still dire.

Internal stability had just been achieved when news arrived of many merchant ships being capsized at sea.

Even worse, there were cases of warships being attacked.

Now all energy was focused on the sea.

One must know, Great Xia had built many ships over the years, but now the ocean was becoming a forbidden zone. All those ships built with great effort, if only...

The Navy felt miserable every day as they looked at the battle reports.

A century-old Navy!

How much wealth had Great Xia spent to have such a foundation, and how many generations had poured their heart and soul into it?

Yet in this world-changing shift.

Their former pride was gradually being reduced to scrap!

How could anyone accept this!

Even the older generation couldn't help but secretly shed tears as they looked at the battle reports.

They had endured so much hardship and swallowed so much resentment, only for this to be the result!

Sigh—compared to such a massive upheaval, the death of a single Professional seemed to have become insignificant.

---“Director Li, Ye Su is already dead, but Su Hangzhou needs a Fire Controller, doesn't it?”

Zhao Qiming hurriedly flew to Su Hangzhou by plane. Without even eating, he went directly to find Li Qing.

“You even know about the Fire Controllers? What, have you established a Club?” Li Qing asked directly without even looking up.

“Hehe, just a little bit of luck,” Zhao Qiming said with a smile.

He was Zhao Yuan's father.

Leaving Su Hangzhou had been Zhao Yuan's decision. Those who left Su Hangzhou with them, because they brought along many Professionals, possessed the most solid capital during the special solar term of Rain Water.

timing!

Relying on the timing and the large amount of capital he had brought out, Zhao Yuan immediately established a Club and actively participated in official missions.

As a result.

He now had the right to know about the Fire Controller project!

The Great Xia Legacy responsible for the future chaotic times would reignite the flames, and currently, the official authorization was given to one Suzhou and Hangzhou to be responsible (the backup plan).

My god, knowing this, Zhao Yuan's face flushed red.

This was not as simple as starting a new branch in the family tree.

It was the history of a civilization being written in two parts!

And the beginning of the second part might very well start with his name!

The temptation of such a thing was unimaginable!

And after Zhao Qiming found out, he was even more excited.

When the news of Ye Su's death arrived, he knew that fate had begun to turn—the opportunity had come!

Su Hangzhou was simply too 'rich'!
