God and Devil Descend
Currently, our understanding of Dark Energy is still very limited, given the state of technology on Earth.
However, some martial artists have already sensed the wonders of Dark Energy and have begun to study Dark Energy Stone, and the Ministry of Science and Technology has also started research in this area.
Before the Second Cataclysm, the Dark Energy Stone was already widely known, but neither before nor after that, a second, larger Dark Energy Stone was ever discovered on Earth.
The more concentrated Dark Energy is, the greater its density. Even if you took out ten Dark Energy Stone, the total weight would be the same, but the Dark Energy contained inside would be far less than that of the stone in Lin Zhen's hand.
He held the Dark Energy Stone in both hands, placing it in his palms as if meditating, and strands of Dark Energy began to nourish Lin Zhen's body.
Prior to this, after his body was enhanced by Lightning Ions, Lin Zhen's physical strength had reached 1,200 kilograms.
The most important aspect of Dark Energy Stone in strengthening the body is power.
After the body is enhanced by Dark Energy, the strength increases the most, followed by speed, and the Neural Reaction increases the least.
Lin Zhen is not lacking in speed, Neural Reaction are also excellent. What he lacks now is strength, which makes him somewhat powerless when fighting against Intermediate War General, let alone Advanced War General.
With the injection of Dark Energy, every cell in Lin Zhen began to cheer and become active.
"It's improved! I can even clearly feel my strength increasing. This powerful feeling is wonderful. I can even roughly sense the extent of the improvement. This is just the beginning, and my strength has already increased by at least fifty kilograms."
Half an hour later, Lin Zhen felt that he had increased his strength by about 200 kilograms, while the Dark Energy Stone had been consumed by less than a third.
"I really hope this process can continue forever. My Mental Power has almost reached the peak of the Early Gold-level. This light shield can support me for a whole day and night without any problem. No one will disturb me during this process."
An hour passed, and the consumption of the Dark Energy Stone finally exceeded one-third, while Lin Zhen's power was further enhanced.
Beneath his clothes, his muscles were subtly bulging and then receding, an outward manifestation of his improved physique. With each bulge and recede, Lin Zhen's strength increased by approximately one hundred kilograms, and this was the fourth time.
Two hours later, Lin Zhen vaguely remembered that his muscles bulged eight times.
Three hours later, the last of the Dark Energy Stone's power surged into Lin Zhen's body, and then turned into an ordinary stone.
"Call!"
Lin Zhen opened his eyes, moved his arms, his joints cracking. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Excellent! My strength has nearly doubled compared to before, which is already at the level of a typical Beginner War General. However, I haven't advanced to the War General level yet, and I haven't accumulated Dark Force within my body. What level will I reach once I advance to the War General?"
Lin Zhen, disregarding her excitement, took out another Qi Sense Assistance Potion from her Space Ring.
"Although my current location is cold, it also has an advantage: the energy here is flowing smoothly and close to nature, making it a good place to gather the Dantian Qi."
"This potion is perfect for me. With its help, it not only aids in my understanding of True Qi, but also doubles the absorption of True Qi."
"The absorption of True Qi is crucial in advancing from warrior to War General. It determines the strength of a martial artist's Dantian Qi. With the help of this potion, I have condensed my Dantian for the first time. Its strength is definitely more than that of Level One War General. It is most likely Level Two War General. If I am lucky, advancing to the third level is not entirely impossible."
Lin Zhen's experiences in this life are vastly different from those in his previous life. Through his efforts, he is no longer an ordinary martial artist, but an outstanding genius.
The potion he created using his prophetic abilities will determine the effectiveness of his first attempt to condense his Dantian.
Lin Zhen's initial estimate was that he would skip the Level One War General and directly advance to the Level Two War General.
At this point, Lin Zhen's strength, speed, and Neural Reaction have all reached a considerable level, and after advancing, he will definitely be a strong person among his peers.
After swallowing the bottle of Qi Sense Assistance Potion, Lin Zhen was immediately jolted.
Qi Sense Assistance Potion entered his body, all five senses became instantly clear.
"The biggest difference between War General general and a warrior is that the former has Dantian Qi, which allows Dark Force to fill the whole body. At that time, punches and moves will be more powerful, the body strength will be greatly improved, and the five senses will be sharp. Only at this time can a warrior be considered a true warrior. The Warrior Level is just a process of stimulating the body's potential."
He seemed to be able to hear the commotion downstairs, to hear some martial artists shouting loudly, and to be able to tell from the sound where the wind was coming from and which direction it was going.
Snowflakes danced in the air, and the snowflakes that had previously passed by seemed to become crystal clear. Lin Zhen could even clearly see every edge and every corner of the snowflakes.
"What an amazing little thing..."
Lin Zhen slowly closed his eyes, his five hearts facing the sky, and with a thought, the thin membrane between the warrior and General Level broke through in an instant!
The Vital Essence between heaven and earth began to gather in Lin Zhen's body, flowing through his limbs and bones, through every meridian, and converging in his Dantian.
"General Level, it's about to begin!"
Air is invisible, but when it flows, it forms wind. The same is true for Vital Essence. When this Vital Essence begins to gather, you can clearly see snowflakes swirling in the air, just like a Dragon Tornado gathering in the sky, except that this Dragon Tornado is small.
When the first bit of Vital Essence gathered in Lin Zhen's Dantian under his control, his Dantian had taken shape.
"At this point, it's a contest of raw martial arts strength. Whoever has the higher strength and greater potential will have a stronger Dantian Qi. Come on, let's see how far you can go!"
As soon as Lin Zhen opened his mouth, a stream of white air was inhaled into his stomach. He couldn't wait to make the process even faster!
At this moment, all the pores on his body opened up, and he was like a funnel or a whirlpool. The vital Vital Essence in the air surged in like rivers flowing into the sea.
It passes through the body and gathers in the Dantian, where the Dantian begins its first evolutionary process: expansion!
In the initial stages of a martial artist's advancement to the War General, the strength of their Dantian is determined by the amount of Dantian Qi. The more Dantian Qi, the stronger the Dark Force that can be generated, and the greater the power.
With the aid of the Qi Sense Assistance Potion, Lin Zhen's absorption was exceptionally smooth this time.
He still remembered his past life, where it only took him fifty minutes to absorb the Dantian Qi, and the effect of advancing in rank was only mediocre.
This time, he absorbed more Dantian Qi in less than ten minutes than in his previous life, and this was far from over.
Twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour!
An hour passed, and Lin Zhen's absorption was not yet over. He felt that he still had enormous potential, which was related to his basic qualities and also to the perfect compatibility with the Qi Sense Assistance Potion.
The airflow continued to flow in, and Lin Zhen absorbed it with her eyes slightly closed, but suddenly opened them.
"Come forth! My Star Core!"
Lin Zhen spread his hands, and under the control of his Mental Power, the Star Core with silver snakes leaping on it appeared in front of him!
"Since my rebirth, I wouldn't say I'm extremely cautious, but I certainly don't take unnecessary risks. I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle. But this time, I'm going to make an exception!"
"I've only heard of the idea of absorbing Star Core and condensing Dark Star within one's body when advancing to the General Stage; I'm not entirely confident I'll succeed."
"With such an opportunity right in front of me, if I don't dare to try, what right do I have to strive for the top? I believe in my luck. I've even crossed Black Hole, so why should I be afraid of condensing Star Core!"
"Come on! Let me experience the legendary Star Power!"
With a thought, the Lightning Ions on Lin Zhen's body resonated with the lightning power contained within the Star Core. Lin Zhen's long hair flew wildly, and his body was surrounded by Electric Light, making him look like God and Devil Descend amidst the wind and snow!
