311: Chapter 311 Saya's Awakening

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.

At this moment, Saya's entire body was wrapped in crimson flames, and the surface of her skin had already begun to show signs of charred cracking.

Seeing this, Nie Ning frowned, wondering if he had made a mistake.

But if Saya didn't have the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body, where did his own Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body come from?

He had never heard of the Abyssal Ox Demon possessing such a special constitution.

Let alone such a coincidence—that it would be this exact, unheard-of constitution?

Looking at Saya, who was gritting her teeth and persevering, Nie Ning already planned to give up, intending to study it again later; perhaps there was something he had overlooked.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning deactivated the formation and withdrew the Abyssal Flames back into his body.

Looking at the charred Saya, Nie Ning didn't feel much emotion about her state.

Although it looked quite serious, in reality, it truly was serious.

However, Nie Ning knew what he was doing; naturally, he wouldn't let Saya die.

There were many healing pills on the market, enough to heal Saya's injuries; with a period of recuperation, she would recover.

Just as Nie Ning took a pill out of his spatial ring, he suddenly frowned.

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a bit...

Nie Ning looked up at Saya but didn't notice anything unusual.

'Am I hallucinating?'

Just as he thought this, Nie Ning noticed the temperature drop a bit more. This time, his perception definitely wasn't wrong!

Looking at Saya's heavily injured body, Nie Ning pulled out several healing pills and mana recovery pills, using his Spiritual Power to guide them into Saya's mouth.

As Saya's body received the replenishment, a layer of white frost slowly appeared on the surface of her body.

At the same time, the temperature in the room began to drop rapidly.

Nie Ning walked to the corner of the room and gave Saya a strange look.

Although he had heard of special constitutions, such a hidden supernatural constitution was unheard of.

Because generally speaking, as long as one has a constitution, even if it hasn't awakened, some abnormalities can be seen, and careful study would reveal the differences.

But Saya's constitution was hidden so deeply that Nie Ning had even doubted if he was heading in the wrong direction.

"The world really is vast and full of wonders."

Nie Ning couldn't help but mutter softly.

Saya's transformation continued.

The frost on her body slowly condensed into ice, a faint white frost-mist floated in the cultivation room, and the temperature continued to drop.

...

...

One day later.

Nie Ning was curled up in the corner of the room, covered with a quilt.

It had to be said, the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body was indeed quite powerful.

Even with his superhuman physique that almost reached the fifth rank, he could feel a trace of chill while being in the room.

Of course, it wasn't that he was truly cold.

It was just that it felt more comfortable to be covered with a quilt in this environment.

Just like sleeping under a quilt with the air conditioning on in the summer—it was a truly wonderful feeling.

Nie Ning's gaze landed on Saya.

At this point, Saya was completely sealed in ice, her body encased in a lifelike human-shaped block of ice. Just this appearance alone surpassed the scene when Nie Ning had awakened previously.

Not only that, but Saya's aura had also undergone a substantial change, its intensity at least twice what it was before!

A very exaggerated strength boost, but it also indirectly verified Nie Ning's speculation about Supernatural Adaptability.

Supernatural Adaptability was not a plundering ability, but a special way of adaptive evolution.

Rather than saying it obtained power from biological genes, it was more like an adaptive mutation caused by environmental changes, which then filtered out the attributes suitable for oneself.

To put it another way, if he could perfectly replicate someone else's genetic abilities, then he would no longer be 'himself,' but a replica no different from the other person.

Supernatural Adaptability, on the other hand, selected the genes and abilities more suitable for him, with the basic framework using his own body as the template.

Although there was still a huge difference from the original, they were two different concepts.

...

...

'Crack~'

Just as Nie Ning was lost in thought, a slight sound interrupted his train of thought.

Looking up, a tiny crack appeared on the ice covering Saya's body.

Immediately afterward, the cracks began to spread rapidly like a spiderweb until they covered every corner of the ice block.

'Bang!'

The ice shattered.

Shattering along with it was the charred skin on the surface of Saya's body.

As the ice crystals scattered across the ground, Saya's flawless, jade-white body was revealed.

Seeing this, Nie Ning secretly thought it was a pity—they were still as small as before.

In comparison, he still preferred the kind that could smother a person, like Ivy and Amelia...

Saya slowly opened her eyes, a look of excitement appearing in them: "Boss, I..."

Before she could finish, Saya noticed she wasn't wearing any clothes. Her small face instantly turned bright red, and she hurriedly took out her clothes to change.

But once she was dressed and noticed Nie Ning's calm, unruffled gaze, Saya couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"Not bad. It really is a special constitution. Your future will be limitless."

Nie Ning put away the quilt and stood up, speaking with a smile.

"Thank you, Boss. If it weren't for you, I would still be..."

Saya's eyes grew misty, and her voice choked up.

After so much time had passed, she had originally given up, even thinking that it was just a joke played by the heavens.

She hadn't expected that just as she had made up her mind to return to being ordinary, an unexpected situation would occur.

And all of this was thanks to the man before her.

Nie Ning shook his head slightly: "There's no need for that. I've already obtained what I wanted from you. This is just an equal exchange between us."

"The future belongs to you. You don't need to carry any burdens; you are forever free."

To Nie Ning, he had already obtained what he needed from Saya.

So no one owed anyone anything. He didn't need Saya's gratitude; he hoped even more that Saya could live for herself.

"I will definitely work hard and strive to let Boss live the life he wants!"

Saya said with a solemn expression.

Nie Ning lightly touched his forehead, feeling quite a headache over this.

Some things couldn't be explained in detail; he couldn't tell Saya about Supernatural Adaptability.

"You must remember one thing: you don't owe me anything. I've already obtained what I wanted from your blood, so don't mention this again in the future."

Nie Ning grabbed Saya's shoulders and spoke with a serious expression.

But the more he acted like this, the more Saya felt that Nie Ning was a good person.

He had clearly helped her so much, yet he insisted it was an equal exchange and told her not to take it to heart.

At this moment, Saya made up her mind.

No matter what the future held, she would not let Nie Ning down. What Nie Ning desired was what she hoped for!

Seeing Saya's determined gaze, Nie Ning couldn't help but smack his lips and secretly roll his eyes.

'Great, everything I said was for nothing.'

Mainly, it wasn't like he was raising death soldiers; why would he need so many helpers?

Conversely, raising death soldiers required providing resources. It wasn't like he was bored with nothing to do; taking on that worry would just be looking for trouble.
