Enhancement

Prosperous Jiangnan Residential Area, Villa 0921.

After returning home, Qin Mu had a meal with Uncle Qing and chatted for a while.

Uncle Qing had been living quite comfortably lately. He was thriving as a manager at the military factory, and there was inside news that the old factory director would soon retire. Uncle Qing had a strong chance of taking over.

As for Mu Mu and Xiao Wu's school matters, dedicated personnel had arranged everything, so Uncle Qing did not need to worry about them.

However, Qin Mu did not rush to tell Uncle Qing about the Self-healing Potion.

Although Professor Zhou now had a God of War-level Swamp Salamander assisting with the experiments, researching such a thing was not something that could succeed overnight. It still required time.

When he and Professor Zhou parted ways, they had made an agreement: once Qin Mu went to school in early September, he could go directly to Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou had even given Qin Mu a reading list before they parted, containing dozens of books that Qin Mu was to study on his own as soon as possible.

Scientific research was different from martial training. If one did not know something, one simply did not know it. Getting angry or suddenly bursting with power would not make one understand it.

The villa's Training Ground hall.

Qin Mu placed a black metal safe in front of him. Only after passing the triple verification of password, fingerprint, and iris scan did he open it.

Inside the safe were two boxes, labeled Black God Set and Thousand-Year Willow Heart respectively.

As for the custom-made weapon, production would not begin until Qin Mu sent over his requirements.

Looking at the two boxes, Qin Mu felt a little excited.

These were all good things!

Qin Mu opened the box containing the Black God Set first. Inside was a bracelet, along with an instruction manual beside it.

After picking up the manual and reading it carefully, Qin Mu understood how to use the Black God Set.

The Black God Set could freely change its appearance, taking on any form, such as clothing, armor, or a bracelet.

Its method of use was also simple. As long as it was worn on the body, it would automatically seep into the skin and absorb blood.

After absorbing a portion of blood, it would automatically adjust itself, allowing the entire Black God Set to fit its user perfectly, like a second skin, and it could be controlled entirely by the wearer's will.

Following the instructions, he put the bracelet on his wrist.

After a short while, a faint prickling sensation came from his wrist. Then, the bracelet transformed into flowing black liquid and spread across his arm.

Strands of blood were absorbed and mixed with the black liquid, undergoing some wonderful transformation.

Fifteen minutes later, the transformation stopped. The bracelet turned into black streaks of light that spread out, wrapping around his entire body and taking the form of the Combat Suit Qin Mu usually wore.

With a thought from Qin Mu, the Combat Suit transformed amid the black radiance into a set of everyday clothes.

"With the Black God Set, I won't even need to buy clothes anymore."

Qin Mu said with a smile.

The Black God Set's true function was not merely changing its form, but its powerful defensive ability.

The Black God Set possessed extremely strong defenses. Even King level monsters could not break through it, and when attacked, it could deflect ninety percent of the force. To kill someone wearing the Black God Set, one could only keep attacking until the person was shaken to death.

With the Black God Set, Qin Mu's defensive power had greatly increased. As long as he did not recklessly court death, it would be difficult to kill him under normal circumstances.

"Now for the main event!"

Qin Mu opened the other box. Inside was an egg-shaped green crystal filled with green liquid. It was crystal-clear and gleamed brilliantly.

Even getting close enough to take a single breath of its scent made one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

"So this is the Thousand-Year Willow Heart."

The Thousand-Year Willow Heart was a nonrenewable treasure that could greatly increase a person's cellular vitality and physical fitness.

Qin Mu took a deep breath. Following the instructions, he pierced the outer crystal shell and poured the inner liquid essence into his mouth.

Comfortable!

Qin Mu sat cross-legged, feeling a wave of cool comfort wash over his body. It was like drinking an ice-cold beer on a scorching summer day, making even his soul tremble.

The muscles, bones, skin, and flesh throughout Qin Mu's body trembled. With his powerful control over himself, he could clearly sense the subtle changes occurring in his body on the cellular level after consuming the liquid essence.

It was not limited to the cellular level. He could even directly observe his genes transforming. Some useless or defective genes were discarded, while the genes within his body reorganized. They even absorbed certain genes from the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, forming a new structure!

These changes were subtle, but their outward manifestation was that his cellular vitality was rapidly increasing, while his body automatically expelled some black impurities.

Under the Thousand-Year Willow Heart's powerful life force, Qin Mu's physical fitness rose at an astonishing speed.

As his body transformed, the soul links in his consciousness sea connected to countless Swarm Units continuously fed back waves of power. Some of this power was extremely weak, merely at the Beast Soldier level, while some was comparatively powerful, reaching the Initial Lord level.

The power fed back through those links was like countless pipes of varying sizes, continuously converging in Qin Mu's consciousness sea.

Previously, however, Qin Mu's soul had been like a wooden bucket, with a limited capacity for power. Once it was filled with water, the excess would constantly spill away, and that spilled power would merge into Qin Mu's body.

This dissipated power continuously strengthened Qin Mu's physical fitness.

After consuming the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, Qin Mu's physical fitness rapidly grew stronger. The improvement in his physical fitness also caused his soul to grow continuously.

The original wooden bucket became a pond. The power fed back through the soul links gathered in the pond instead of dissipating, and Qin Mu's Mental Power rapidly grew stronger as well.

"So that's how it is! The Swarm's feedback could have made me stronger, but my body had been restricting that improvement!"

Feeling this, Qin Mu finally understood.

"I was worried that my Mental Power wouldn't keep up after my physical fitness improved. Turns out my body had been holding me back all along!"

Having understood this, Qin Mu let go of his worries and could not help but laugh at himself.

Before consuming the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, Qin Mu had actually been somewhat worried.

This was because a normal Mental Master had a concentration of Mental Power within their consciousness sea, sometimes in liquid form and sometimes solid.

This also determined the strength of their Mental Power talent. For those with weak talent, it was merely a gathering of liquid, and once they reached the Warlord-level, their potential would be exhausted.

Those with powerful talent, like Luo Feng, possessed a dark golden sphere.

As long as Luo Feng's physical fitness kept up, he could directly rise to the peak of the advanced God of War level.

Qin Mu was different. There was no similar liquid or solid within his consciousness sea.

His Mental Power talent came from the Swarm!

"Doesn't that mean that as long as the Swarm keeps growing stronger and my physical fitness improves quickly enough, there is fundamentally no limit to my Mental Power talent?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up.

While Qin Mu indulged in this speculation, his physical fitness continued to rise.

Intermediate Warlord, advanced Warlord, then he surged ahead without resistance and entered the God of War level!

Initial God of War... initial God of War peak... only after reaching the intermediate God of War level did it slowly come to a stop.

Half an hour later.

Boom—

Qin Mu threw a punch.

"My raw punching strength has at least exceeded 148,000 kilograms! This punching strength has already reached the intermediate God of War level!"

Light shone in Qin Mu's eyes. His soul within his consciousness sea continued to grow stronger, and the intensity of his Mental Power was leaping forward as well!

"At this rate, my Mental Power will reach its limit in less than a day—the peak of the advanced God of War level!"

Looking at the now-empty green crystal in his hand, Qin Mu sighed.

"It really is a good thing! No wonder even someone as powerful as Hong was tempted by it!"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Could the Swarm cultivate this thing? The Mother Nest in the wilderness has already analyzed hundreds of plant genes, and ordinary plant genes can be analyzed very quickly!

"If it could analyze the willow tree that produces Thousand-Year Willow Hearts, would that mean Thousand-Year Willow Hearts, or even stronger Ten Thousand Year Willow Hearts, could be mass-produced?"

For a moment, Qin Mu's heart stirred.
