Heart Image X Earthquake?

In the camp in the Pitch Black Land.

Although Kevin's Nen power had exceeded one million, they did not leave.

After all, breaking the one million mark is like a rebirth, like evolution.

It will take quite some time to adapt to the current changes.

Although there is only a difference of 10,000 between Ninety-Nine and 1 million, that 10,000 is like a chasm, an analogy for a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate.

The changes brought about are enormous, and many details need to be clarified again.

For example, in the center of the camp at this moment.

Kevin is making medicine.

The original Alchemy Table was transformed into a round, three-legged Medicine Tripod.

At this moment, the Medicine Tripod had been covered with a lid, and the bottom of the Medicine Tripod, which was decorated with patterns of Chinese civilization, appeared to be heated by flames.

Kevin's Nen Aura was used to continuously heat the Medicine Tripod in this spot.

Of course, this is only an outward appearance.

"Will this change in Nen ability alter the form of the potions created? For example, will they become pills or something?"

Jin asked curiously from the side.

He is an expert in the study of Ruins, and naturally understands civilizations throughout almost all periods of human history.

He was naturally very familiar with this civilization that spanned so much time, with its various Ruins and cultural relics.

Kevin shook his head.

"No, as I've already said, the only thing my Nen ability changes is my appearance, which stems from my own cultural identity."

Or perhaps the Alchemy Table itself lacked cultural identity because it was Scales with a rotating element.

It is a form of extracting liquid through centrifugal force.

There's no cultural identity involved; it's just the imagination brought about by technology.

It was the original Kevin, after studying modern knowledge for a long time, constructed a production model in his mind. But in the current Kevin's view, the strange production method of extracting medicine by rotating three medicine scales without any pipes in the middle seemed unreasonable.

Although he never said it explicitly, his innermost thoughts would manifest in reality.

That's what Nen ability is like.

In addition, his own cultural identity led to the creation of the Medicine Tripod, which changed the appearance of the Alchemy Table.

But he was already used to the way the Alchemy Table operated.

Therefore, what is boiled down will still be a liquid, after all, he has Syringe to assist him.

If it's turned into a pill, it can't be used.

He has never made any elixirs, but he has been making potions for many years.

This has long been ingrained in my instincts, buried deep within my consciousness.

Jin nodded knowingly.

"This is just a change in appearance; essentially, it's just an enhancement of Nen ability."

The only difference is that his Nen ability changed from being Kevin's to being Kevin's, resulting in some unique markings appearing on his person.

In other words, it's a change in appearance.

Jin understood this and made a note of it.

"Alright."

Suddenly, steam rose from the Medicine Tripod.

Kevin said, waving his hand to open the lid.

Inside was a liquid that had fused together, filling the entire Medicine Furnace.

With a wave of his hand, twelve empty medicine bottles appeared instantly.

Under Kevin's control, the liquid inside split into twelve water columns, which fell into the potion bottle.

"I see, this is also part of evolution?"

Jin asked, observing this scene.

Kevin used to only be able to produce one potion per batch.

Kevin nodded. "Now I can put in more ingredients and make more potions at once."

It saves more time, but essentially makes no difference; it's one of the smallest changes.

The Medicine Tripod disappeared, Kevin enveloped the twelve vials of medicine with his Nen Aura, then gently waved it.

Nine vials flew out and landed in the hands of the others.

Jin took the medicine from his hand.

"What kind of New Potion is this? The color is quite different from the previous ones."

And it's definitely not A-rank medicine.

"The Cleanser Potion —you can tell what it's for just from the name. It's used to cleanse the body. Whether you drink it or apply it directly to your skin, it creates a thin liquid film that removes dirt and grime."

It was made using four types of materials, and these materials are relatively common in the entire Dark Continent.

The main ingredient is actually seawater.

Well, for the Dark Continent, it might be a lake.

In any case, it's inexhaustible.

That's quite interesting.

As he spoke, Jin opened the potion and sprinkled it on himself.

The liquid immediately transformed into a thin film, like flowing slime, covering the surface of the gold.

It's not just on the skin's surface, but also in clothing, seeping into the fabric and getting close to the skin.

Soon, the originally transparent liquid turned pale gray and then looked somewhat dirty.

It turned into sewage.

Finally, after washing away the dirt, it slid to the ground.

"It's so useful!"

Men Qi's eyes lit up as she watched this scene.

Because it was so quick, the whole process only took a dozen seconds.

After using it, you look completely refreshed, inside and out, from top to bottom.

Men Qi didn't hesitate to sprinkle it on herself.

Everyone started using it.

Nobody likes feeling dirty.

There's no other way.

However, Kim didn't seem to care much about that, and instead looked at Kevin and asked, "Where's your Imagery Body?"

This is what Jin is most curious about.

In Jin's view, the evolution of Nen ability is inevitable, since a million is a leap to a certain level of life.

He wasn't surprised that his Nen ability was being enhanced.

But the Imagery Body was something he had never seen before. After observing it for the past few days, he realized that it was quite different from Netero's Guanyin.

If it's available for over a million, that's truly intriguing.

Because Kim is confident that, with Kevin's help, he will definitely overcome this challenge.

Not to mention that he has already broken his limits because of his previous exploration of the Gale Grassland.

"You mean that? I'll call it Dharma Image, or Heart Image, it's pretty much the same thing."

In fact, Kevin has been focusing his research on this Heart Image these past few days.

Kevin stood up and dusted himself off.

Have you ever fought against Chairman Netero?

Upon hearing Kevin's question, Kim stood up, but shook his head.

"No, no, if I had to say, I did fight, but it was only a superficial experience. After seeing the Hundred-Type Guanyin take a few hits, I realized that it was an ability I couldn't counter for the time being."

There are essentially two ways to counter the Hundred-Type Guanyin.

Numerical values and mechanisms.

They could either overpower Chairman Netero head-on by possessing superior speed, strength, and defense.

Alternatively, he could rely on his unique Nen ability to set up traps and restrict Netero.

The first method is difficult for humans to achieve, after all, Netero has already reached the pinnacle of human achievement to some extent.

It's no longer possible to do that.

The second option, if it's a life-or-death duel, would be for Kim to do everything he can to create a trap for Netero.

But this kind of life-or-death duel is definitely not an immediate face-to-face battle, but rather a long-term preparation.

Give Kim some time to prepare, to set a trap, and to find accomplices.

He felt confident he could take down Netero.

But if it's just a friendly spar, how can one get face-to-face and then quickly set a trap to fool Netero?

It's impossible.

Keep in mind that Netero is over a hundred years old, and he spends most of his time training and fighting.

His experience far surpasses that of ordinary people, even surpassing that of a genius like Kim.

Because Netero is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses on the path of martial arts.

They can't beat them in terms of raw strength, nor can they match their combat experience.

In this situation, there is naturally no way to cope.

Moreover, Netero is a nasty guy who likes to play pranks.

So, after realizing there was no way out, Kim decisively conceded defeat.

Such a sparring match was meaningless, and King never sparred with Netero again after that.

After all, Jin isn't someone who enjoys fighting; for him, fighting is merely a means to achieve his goals.

Kevin nodded upon hearing Kim's words.

He then slowly exhaled.

The Heart Image is revealed behind one's back.

Four-Armed Tripod-Carrying Giant.

This time, the giant looked different because it was so lifelike.

It used to give people a sense of unreality.

But this time it felt incredibly real, as if the giant were actually standing there.

Even Men Qi and the others, who had only seen illusory images before, were able to see the true image of Heart Image this time.

His hair was jet black and cascaded down his back. His face was plain and unremarkable, with his eyes and mouth closed, and no compassion on his face.

He carried the Medicine Tripod on his upper arms, hanging it over his right shoulder. His left arm was even wrapped with a snake-like object, but neither the snake's tail nor its head was visible.

The shoulders and fingers are covered with clearly visible silver scales.

On the palms of all four arms, five fingers can be seen forming claws, with short, thick, and sharp non-human fingernails.

Its upper body is robust, with bare chest and breasts covered in feather patterns.

A plain belt was wrapped around her waist, and a skirt of armor hung from her lower body.

"So handsome!"

Upon seeing the clearly defined image of Qi for the first time, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

This Four-Armed Tripod-Carrying Giant looks very imposing, but it doesn't give people a feeling of being domineering or wild.

"This Heart Image is an extension of ourselves after the human population surpassed one million."

As he spoke, Kevin suddenly raised his hands.

The giant statue behind him also raised its arms.

He still steadily supported the Medicine Tripod with both arms.

Then Kevin faced the black earth outside the camp and suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it down.

The colossal image behind him also raised its forearm and slammed its right hand forward.

The arms are extended outwards.

"Bang!"

A violent tremor and a loud noise.

The palm struck hard outside the camp, pressing a handprint into the dark ground.

"Feels similar to the Chairman's."

Jin murmured as he watched this scene.

Kevin didn't speak, but instead extended his right hand again, making a claw shape with his five fingers.

He swung his sword forward with a sudden thrust.

The giant statue behind them quickly made the same movement.

"Splash splash splash!"

The piercing wind and five giant Wind Blade instantly cut deep trenches into the ground, stretching into the distance.

Judging by the distance, it must have flown at least 600 meters.

Moreover, the Wind Blade, visible to the naked eye, were extremely large, reaching a height of about four meters.

"Should we amplify the Nen ability?"

Men Qi asked, watching this scene.

"That's right, compared to normal use, it feels many times larger, even more than ten times larger."

As he spoke, Kevin suddenly laughed and asked everyone, "How much do you think the consumption has increased?"

"It must have increased three or four times," Ximo guessed from the side.

While there will certainly be a reduction in energy consumption, it will still cost more.

"Wrong, it's just double, you only need to spend double."

This surprised everyone.

It only requires twice the amount of Nen Aura, but can unleash several times or even ten times the power.

This is more than just a great deal.

"What about the Medicine Tripod he's carrying on his shoulder? Is it just for decoration?"

Jin pointed and asked.

This was what he was most curious about.

However, Kevin shook his head.

"I don't know. Although it is indeed something that extends from me, I haven't fully figured out how to use it yet."

For example, that Medicine Tripod.

Forget about the Medicine Tripod, he didn't even know how to control the arms on it. He could only control the arms by extending them himself, because that meant controlling his own arms.

And the upper arms.

I really don't know how to use it, because he doesn't actually have four hands.

They certainly couldn't stay in the Pitch Black Land.

Kevin has surpassed one million Nen points; they need to get down to business.

Head to the Unmanned Stone Range and obtain the Unmanned Stone.

Back on the road.

This time, the journey was remarkably smooth.

"It's really strange, now even predators have to avoid us."

Men Qi made a comment and looked at Kevin.

Seeing Men Qi's gaze, Kevin shrugged helplessly.

"Don't look at me. Although I know it's my problem, I can't control my aura for the time being, or rather, I haven't realized that my aura is leaking out."

Putting aside everything else, the creatures of these Dark Continent have an absurdly high level of vigilance against danger.

Although Kevin surpassed one million, he did not experience any loss of control over his power, after all, they had trained in the Pitch Black Land for several days.

Kevin felt he should have kept his presence under control, but after walking around for the past few days, he had to admit he had been too quiet.

There was no danger along the way.

It's impossible for this not to be caused by his aura leaking out.

Of course, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would be best to contain this leakage of energy more perfectly.

The problem is that Kevin doesn't feel that way.

He felt he was already controlling his aura quite well, unless he completely entered a state of absolute power.

But maintaining a state of near-death while traveling through the Dark Continent —what's the difference between that and suicide?

So let's just make do with it.

We randomly found a safe spot to set up camp that night.

"Based on our current route, we should reach the Exploration Team's landing zone by tomorrow afternoon, and then proceed to the Unmanned Stone Range via the landing zone's paths. In other words, we've already entered the Unmanned Stone Range region."

Ximo calculated their current location and said.

Everyone listened and ate their meal.

Do you think you'll be parasitized by the Human-Rearing Beast Creatures if you enter the area of Unmanned Stone?

Jin asked.

Kevin is different now, after all.

Kevin shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure, mainly because I'm unsure of the strength of the Papu the Nurturing Beast in this area. However, we have potions that can help us withstand its power with our own bodies."

The medicine had already been prepared before we arrived.

Just then, the ground began to tremble very slightly.

Kevin frowned and half-squatted on the ground.

"An earthquake?" Tewashi asked.

Everyone stood up.

Kevin pressed his ear close to the ground.

"No, get away from here!"
