249: Intermediate Mastery

After the meeting, everyone returned to the Trial Evolver Base.

Ten of the twelve decided to evolve immediately, while only two took the potion home.

Mo Li followed Pan Han back to his room and personally accompanied him through his evolution.

“With me here, you can relax and go for it. There won’t be any problems.” Mo Li was happy to see him through to the end.

After all, Pan Han becoming an Intermediate Evolver would only benefit Mo Li, not harm him.

Not to mention Pan Han’s abundant resources, which would surely lead to various supplies in the future.

If he developed into a major power in the future, it would definitely be a great help for Mo Li’s promotion and development within the Twelve Palaces.

“Thank you, Mr. Mo!”

“Thank you, Mo Dage!”

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao were naturally filled with gratitude.

“First, take a shower, then find a comfortable spot, and simply take the potion orally.” Mo Li nodded, indicating that they didn’t need to be so polite.

“Mr. Mo, is the Intermediate evolution painful?” Pan Han recalled his primary evolution, which had been embarrassing and incredibly painful.

“There will be some reaction. After all, it’s about reshaping the body and spirit.” Mo Li gestured for him to hurry up and not worry.

“Alright, Cheng Xiao, you stay with Mr. Mo, I’ll go now.”

Pan Han went to the bathroom to shower, scrubbing himself as clean as possible, then entered the bedroom.

He took out the Intermediate Potion, a small, pure, and transparent bottle. He opened it and sniffed, but there was no smell.

“It’s a bit magical. There were several bottles of primary potion, but only one for Intermediate.” Pan Han’s eyes narrowed, his thoughts becoming active.

“Let’s begin!” He murmured, then Pan Han swallowed the entire bottle of Intermediate Potion in one gulp. The clear, colorless potion flowed smoothly down his throat.

Almost instantly, he felt a warm and intense energy flowing within his body. The potion’s power began to affect his body and spirit.

His body trembled slightly as if an electric current passed through it, and then his entire being seemed to be enveloped in an invisible energy.

A strong heat began to spread from his Dantian, gradually extending to every cell in his body. Pan Han’s skin turned slightly red, and sweat seeped out, dripping onto the ground.

At the same time, his mind became exceptionally clear and sharp, as if a completely new door had opened in his brain. He was able to gain deeper insight into the essence and laws of things, and the speed and depth of his problem-solving abilities significantly improved.

Pan Han’s body gradually changed; his muscles became firmer and stronger, and his physique subtly grew taller. He felt his strength increase, and his entire being exuded an aura of immense confidence and power.

Concurrently, his senses became sharper, his vision clearer, and his hearing more acute.

He could perceive faint sounds and subtle movements around him, as if he were more closely connected to the world.

As time passed, pain began to spread throughout his body.

First, he felt dozens of heavy hammers striking his body, as if his bones were being smashed. Immediately afterward, he felt as if he were being cut by a chainsaw. Pan Han endured the pain, recording each sensation in his mind.

In the future, when Cheng Xiao and others evolved, he could guide them.

However, compared to his last evolution, Pan Han’s endurance had greatly increased, and there was no sign of fainting yet.

After enduring seven or eight rounds of various pains, Pan Han was drenched in sweat, and black liquid flowed onto the floor.

Pan Han closed his eyes, focusing on adjusting his breathing and mindset.

He took a deep breath, trying to transform the feeling of pain into a catalyst for strength.

As time passed, Pan Han’s body gradually calmed down, and the pain slowly subsided.

He felt his muscles and bones gradually return to a completely new state, stronger and more solid.

Pan Han slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze flickering with resolve and determination.

He stood up, feeling the power feedback from the floor beneath his feet.

A surge of confidence and power erupted from deep within him, and Pan Han’s body and spirit radiated an unprecedented glow.

He knew that he had successfully evolved to the Intermediate realm.

Outside the door, Mo Li’s nose twitched slightly, then he smiled at Cheng Xiao: “Pan Han made it.”

Cheng Xiao heard that Pan Han had stopped moving and largely guessed what had happened.

Creak, the door opened.

Pan Han emerged, naked and covered in black liquid.

“Haha, you rascal! No need to be so hasty. At least put on some clothes.” Mo Li burst out laughing when he saw him in that state.

“Hehe. Mr. Mo, did I succeed? I want to confirm first.” Pan Han spread his hands, completely unconcerned.

What’s there to be afraid of about looking at his body? Besides, his body lines are so good now!

“Alright, turn around and let me see.” Mo Li covered his mouth, still unable to suppress his laughter.

Pan Han foolishly turned two circles, making Cheng Xiao blush a little.

“Not bad, the evolution was perfect! It seems your foundation was very good before!” Mo Li finished his assessment and nodded repeatedly.

Actually, Pan Han knew his own situation, but this sentence had to come from Mo Li’s mouth for him to feel at ease.

Sure enough, after hearing it, Pan Han and Cheng Xiao immediately embraced each other.

They didn't care about the black liquid; if it was dirty, then it was dirty.

Cheng Xiao touched Pan Han’s face, hot tears streaming down; it truly hadn’t been easy to get this far!

At this moment, Cheng Xiao couldn’t utter a single word; thousands of words turned into hot tears, letting them flow freely.

“Alright, alright, Cheng Xiao, you accompany him to take another shower and wash off all the black liquid. The room smells too strong. I need to go out for a smoke first.” Mo Li covered his nose; the stench of the black liquid was unbearable even for an Intermediate Evolver like him.

“Oh!” Hearing him say that, the two of them finally blushed.

They quickly scampered off to take a shower, making a clattering sound.

What was that clattering sound? So strange.

“Hey, did you have S-grade black liquid this time?” Cheng Xiao remembered how Pan Han’s primary evolution had made her so awkward.

“No, this time it just felt like I was hammered a dozen times, like being forged. Now it feels like I have an iron rod clamped between my legs.” Pan Han swayed his body, somewhat proudly.

“It’s over! I’m in trouble. He looks difficult to deal with!” Cheng Xiao pouted, and helped him clean himself.

“Let me tell you something.” Pan Han stood still, letting Cheng Xiao rinse him, as he thought about what Dili Abasi had told him earlier.

“Go on.” Cheng Xiao continued to scrub his back.

“Dili Abasi said that after she evolves, she’ll come to join Dawn Base.” Pan Han hesitated slightly, but still said it.

Cheng Xiao’s hand, which was scrubbing his back, suddenly stopped.

Pan Han could feel her struggle.

“You agreed!” Cheng Xiao asked.

“I didn’t agree, otherwise I wouldn’t be asking you.”

“No, actually you already agreed. You just want me to say it.”

“At the time, I indeed didn’t refuse.” Pan Han could only admit.

“Alright, whatever you decide is fine.” Cheng Xiao continued to scrub his body with both hands.

“Do you have any objections?” Pan Han was somewhat incredulous to see her so calm.

“No objections. If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to refuse either. After all, she’s also an Intermediate Evolver.” Cheng Xiao’s tone was unusually calm, as if she were stating something that had nothing to do with her.

“Alright.” Pan Han didn’t say much more; he knew Cheng Xiao didn’t want to hear another word right now.
