37: Evolution Completed

Seeing Pan Han regain consciousness, Cheng Xiao immediately rushed to his side, asking him how he was and how he felt.

Pan Han rolled his eyes, his vision gradually cleared, and he slowly propped himself up with an effort. Cheng Xiao saw him trying to get up and quickly helped him.

Sitting up, Pan Han felt a bit better. He rotated his neck and arms a few times, and all his senses basically returned.

"How long was I unconscious?" Pan Han asked.

"About half an hour. Your speed of waking up is already miraculous," Cheng Xiao said.

"You're all here!" Pan Han greeted Qin Laoda and the Second Sister weakly.

"We were all worried about you. So we came up to watch over you," Qin Laoda said.

"I should be fine, right?" Pan Han continued to ask.

"Being able to wake up means you're fine," the Second Sister said.

"What exactly happened when I was unconscious?" Pan Han asked.

At this, Cheng Xiao and the two others exchanged glances. Recalling Pan Han's earlier expulsion, they didn't know whether to tell him.

However, the Second Sister reacted quickly and said, "Well, a lot of black liquid flowed all over the floor. It seems like a lot of toxins were expelled. It was also accompanied by convulsions in your limbs, which scared us a lot at the time."

Pan Han listened, tilted his head, sniffed the air in the room, and quickly covered his mouth and nose. He couldn't stand it himself.

He turned his head and saw that there was still a lot of black liquid residue under him, so he struggled to stand up.

He was fine; his bodily functions had recovered by about seventy to eighty percent.

"Quickly give Lord Pan a hot bath, clean him up, and then prepare for the next stage of evolution," Qin Zhong said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao immediately began to prepare.

Qin Zhong helped Pan Han, wrapped him in a bath towel, and had him sit on a lounge chair first.

"Lord, please rest first. After your bath, you can drink the green potion, and finally the blue one," Qin Zhong said.

"Okay, I still feel a bit weak right now."

"That's normal, everyone is like this. This yellow potion only lasts for 12 hours, so you need to drink the next batch quickly, otherwise it will be wasted."

Ten minutes later, Cheng Xiao was ready, and Pan Han's condition also improved, his complexion returning to normal.

"Will the green and blue ones have such a big reaction?" Pan Han suddenly asked.

"The green potion strengthens the physique and will be very, very painful. The blue potion increases toxin resistance and will be very, very itchy," the Second Sister said.

Damn it, won't this be even more uncomfortable! Pan Han's newly awakened mind began to buzz again.

"However, the more it hurts, the stronger you'll be after evolution! The itchier it is, the more invulnerable you'll be to all poisons after evolution," the Second Sister tempted Pan Han.

"That sounds quite fair," Pan Han said with a bitter smile.

"Yes, in the apocalypse, strength is everything. If you want to become stronger, you must first endure hardship. Everyone goes through this. As long as you persevere, it will be a whole new world," Qin Laoda said.

"Then let's do it. If I can't get through this, then I don't deserve to own this base," Pan Han said, gritting his teeth.

With that, Pan Han tore off his bath towel, completely naked, ready to face the new challenge.

"Lord, the next two potions won't cause black liquid to flow, so you can wear some clothes," the Second Sister reminded him.

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Pan Han quickly looked around for clothes.

Cheng Xiao chuckled and handed him the pajamas he had already prepared.

Pan Han put on his clothes, took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and indicated he was ready.

Qin Laoda handed him the green potion, and Pan Han drank it in one gulp.

This potion was bitter with an astringent taste, and after it went down, his esophagus had a distinct burning sensation.

Pan Han couldn't help but frown and told Cheng Xiao how he felt. Cheng Xiao confirmed that it was indeed the genuine article.

So Pan Han lay on the lounge chair, ready to face the onslaught of pain.

If you've ever had kidney stones, you'll understand what internal pain feels like.

Pan Han was already experiencing it. His lower back began to ache faintly, and within 20 seconds, the pain intensified.

This kind of feeling made it impossible to hold back a scream.

After another 10 seconds, the pain escalated again.

This time, Pan Han couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his hands wildly, and sweat poured down.

The other three quickly found belts to tie him down. Cheng Xiao tightly held Pan Han's right hand, giving him something to grip to release the force.

Pan Han seemed to grasp a lifeline, transforming the pain into strength and gripping Cheng Xiao's hand tightly.

After her evolution, Cheng Xiao's physical functions were excellent, and she could currently withstand the force.

The current situation could no longer be accurately described as mere pain. Pan Han felt as if his little brother was being hammered, once every second.

He couldn't care about anything else and started to curse, saying the foulest things he could think of to relieve the pain.

The curses penetrated the house, and Wei Monk, who was working outside, could hear them.

He had also undergone reinforcement, so he naturally knew what Pan Han was doing. He nervously looked up at the second floor, silently praying for Pan Han.

Other slaves who heard the curses also began to pray for their master. The entire base seemed to have pressed the pause button, with only the sound of "I'll f*ck your grandma" echoing repeatedly.

Finally, after enduring a grueling 7 minutes, the pain gradually disappeared. Pan Han's hands slowly relaxed, and Cheng Xiao was able to pull her arm free to wipe his sweat.

By the 10-minute mark, there was no pain at all. Pan Han let out a long sigh of relief; he never wanted to experience that again in his life!

Cheng Xiao wiped his sweat and said, "Lord, you've passed this trial too."

"How was it, how was it? What level was my performance?"

"Looking at it, it hurt a lot more than mine, so you should have evolved better," the Second Sister said.

"About the same as me," Qin Zhong said.

Pan Han took a big gulp of water, then stood up and clenched his fists. A surge of primeval power erupted from within him.

He had never experienced what strength felt like before, but this time he felt an inexhaustible amount of it.

"Lord, let's do an experiment," Qin Laoda said.

"What experiment?" Pan Han turned to ask.

"To see the extent of your evolution," Qin Laoda said.

"Okay. How do we test it?"

"Just stand still," Qin Zhong said. As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Sister and Cheng Xiao very tacitly held down Pan Han's arms.

"What are you doing?" Pan Han asked nervously.

"Lord, only the weakest part of a man can truly test the extent of his evolution," Qin Laoda said thoughtfully.

"Weakest part?" As Pan Han thought of this, Qin Zhong flew up with a kick, aiming directly for his little brother.

Bang! Direct hit!

"Ow!" Pan Han cried out, struggling with his arms, trying to cover his little brother. But the Second Sister and Cheng Xiao didn't let him succeed.

Strangely, the pain disappeared in less than 3 seconds.

"What's going on? Is it that amazing?" Pan Han stared at Qin Laoda with wide eyes.

Qin Zhong's lips curved slightly, revealing a masculine charm, and he said with a chuckle to Pan Han, "Not bad, Lord Pan. Your evolution has reached the primary peak; you've reached the limit."

"What do you mean?"

"If that kick were before your evolution, you might have died. Now, not only are you fine, but you can recover quickly, which means you've evolved very well."

"Did you have to kick me there? I haven't even used it much yet!" Pan Han said with some displeasure.

"This is a traditional evolution ceremony of the Dawn Squad, hehe. Please forgive us."

"Alright, no more nonsense. Let's start with the last bottle," Pan Han said, not wasting any more time, as completing the upgrade was the main priority.

So Pan Han resolutely drank the last bottle.

After the previous two times, this blue small bottle didn't cause him any hindrance. Although it was incredibly itchy, he easily endured it.

Just like that, Pan Han's evolution was completely finished.

"Dawn Squad congratulates Lord on completing your evolution!" Qin Zhong led the Second Sister and Cheng Xiao in saluting Pan Han.

Everyone present understood how important an evolved master was to the base.
