War God

Jiangnan Pavilion's underground Secret Chamber

"It's begun." Qin Hao felt a surge of heat rapidly seep through the skin smeared with Dragon Whisker and merge into his body, then begin rushing toward every part of him.

His chest, back, hands, feet, and head were soon enveloped by that current of heat. And the heat kept growing, gradually becoming scorching. At the same time, the Dragon Blood on the surface of his skin was also rapidly decreasing, sinking deep into his skin.

As the Dragon Blood merged in, Qin Hao felt pain begin to spread through his body. His whole body started to tremble faintly, as if countless ants had appeared inside him and were constantly gnawing at his flesh.

"As expected, the process of absorbing Dragon Blood really is extremely painful, but this little bit of pain is also the beginning of the Body Transformation." Qin Hao gritted his teeth and endured. He had already anticipated the pain of absorbing Dragon Blood.

Forcing down the pain, Qin Hao sat cross-legged and adjusted his posture, wanting to enter the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation state. However, Five Hearts Towards Heaven required a calm state of mind. Under the pain, the moment Qin Hao focused his mind, he was affected by the pain.

However, after trying for a while, Qin Hao's heart gradually calmed. The pain in his body still existed, but at this moment, it was as if his soul and body had been separated.

As Qin Hao entered the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation state, the surrounding Cosmic Energy began to stir restlessly, sweeping toward Qin Hao's body.

The numbness and pain from absorbing Dragon Blood and the comfort from absorbing Cosmic Energy constantly clashed, and Qin Hao's body began to transform rapidly.

At the same time, the Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens also began circulating automatically, continuously absorbing Dragon Blood and Cosmic Energy and merging them into Qin Hao's skin and muscles.

The transformation from the Dragon Blood, the absorption of Cosmic Energy, and the circulation of the Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens put Qin Hao's body into a state of rapid transformation.

This transformation spread through every part of his body, even penetrating deep into the genetic material within his cells. In itself, Swallowed Star's cultivation was the improvement of physical strength, a process of genetic transformation, raising and perfecting the genes through cultivation.

And in this world, the Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens had become a technique for improving Gene Level. Driven by both, Qin Hao's genetic changes became even faster. Dead cells and impurities were continuously expelled, and grime-like impurities kept being forced out through his pores.

At this moment, Qin Hao's body was undergoing a double transformation. The completion and improvement of the deep-level genes within his cells, and the astonishing transformation of the body's level, skin, bones, muscles, fascia, internal organs, and more. This process was not only one of becoming stronger, but also an all-around transformation in toughness, defense, strength, and every other aspect.

During this process, the increase in strength was a thousand times, ten thousand times faster than usual, so Qin Hao did not dare waste even a single second.

Wave after wave of pain swept over him, while Qin Hao continuously guarded his mind, sensing the changes in his body and constantly grasping them, comprehending control over his strength.

To Qin Hao, this was not only an increase in strength, but also a process of understanding his own body. With every transformation of his body and every surge of pain, Qin Hao could sense those subtle places within his body that he had never paid attention to before.

Amid pain and pleasure, and amid Qin Hao's comprehension, the pain in his body gradually disappeared. The surrounding Cosmic Energy rapidly gathered and continuously merged into Qin Hao's body. Having just undergone transformation, his cells once again entered a state of hunger and began devouring Cosmic Energy to improve.

After an unknown amount of time, his body gradually reached saturation. Qin Hao opened his eyes, exhaustion showing in his gaze. The whole process seemed extremely simple, but it was an immense test of the mind. He had to endure his body's pain while maintaining a calm state of mind. Originally, Qin Hao had only wanted to try it and had not held out much hope.

His success was also thanks to Qin Hao's usual training in extreme states, constantly forcing himself into his limits, and even breaking through his limits before becoming a Quasi-Warrior to complete his first transformation. Added to his powerful state of mind, it led to this success.

However, even so, Qin Hao had only just managed to endure it. Although his body was now filled with strength, his spirit was extremely exhausted. The instant he finished cultivating and relaxed his mind, he fell straight asleep.

"Why hasn't Qin Hao come out yet?" Zhao Ruo stared at the pavilion east of Jiangnan Pavilion and said anxiously. This was Qin Hao's first day entering the Elite Training Camp, but he had already become an official student and had to go out to Base City 1001 to hunt.

This was also the daily routine of students in the Elite Training Camp: going out to hunt, cultivating, and improving through combat and cultivation.

"Don't worry. There's still an hour. He'll make it. Qin Hao only just arrived at the training camp, so he might not be used to it yet," Shi Jiang said from the side. He had a pretty good impression of Qin Hao. They were both from Jiangnan Base City, and the military had also instructed him to try to draw Qin Hao in.

In less than half a day after Qin Hao entered the Elite Training Camp, the major powers across the globe had already received reports from their respective students in the training camp, while also collecting all of Qin Hao's information. He had formally become a warrior less than two months ago, yet had already joined the Elite Training Camp. No power would pass up the chance to win over such a genius.

The Huaxia Military in particular, as a local power, understood Qin Hao even more clearly, especially Qin Hao's experience during the Combat Assessment, which had been placed before the military's upper ranks.

Inside the Secret Chamber, Qin Hao opened his eyes, stood up, and sensed the powerful strength of his body. He went straight to the fist target nearby and punched out.

"Boom"

A tremendous sound echoed throughout the entire Secret Chamber. The numbers on the display screen jumped rapidly, finally stopping at 102300KG.

"102,300 kilograms. That's more than doubled. I'm not far from an Intermediate War God now." Looking at the data, Qin Hao nodded in satisfaction.

He had become a War God less than three months after becoming a warrior. Beyond War God would not be too far away either. He wondered what reward he would get the next time he checked in.

Thinking this, Qin Hao opened the Secret Chamber and walked straight out.

"It's already morning." Looking at the sunlight outside, Qin Hao could not help sighing that time really did fly during cultivation. It had been afternoon when he received the Dragon Blood, and now more than ten hours had already passed.

"Qin Hao, you're finally out. Hurry, you have to go out hunting today. You're almost not going to make it," Zhao Ruo said when she saw the door open, quickly walking toward Qin Hao.

"Ugh." As soon as she got close to Qin Hao, Zhao Ruo quickly covered her nose and backed away. "Qin Hao, what happened to you? What's that smell on you?"

Seeing Zhao Ruo retreat, Qin Hao looked himself over. His whole body was covered in filth, all impurities expelled during this transformation, and with them came a strange odor. Mixed with the smell of blood was a foul stench.

"Wait for me a moment." Qin Hao quickly returned to his room, washed up, then went back to the Secret Chamber. He opened the password box, first taking out a black glove and putting it on.

After he put on the glove, Qin Hao's finger felt a stab of pain, and the black glove rapidly spread, turning into a set of black training clothes. This glove was precisely this reward, the Black God Set.

"With this Black God Set, I can survive even if I face an Advanced Lord." As he thought this, Qin Hao put on the SS-Rank Combat Suit from inside the box, picked up his long blade, and appeared outside the pavilion once more.
