Miraculous Effect of Red Blood Wine

At 9:00 PM on November 10th, the Martial Arts Hall on the second floor of the villa was brightly lit.

Chu He carefully summoned the White Jade Wine Pot from his Sea of Consciousness.

The wine gourd was only the size of a fist, yet its internal capacity was far from small.

One liter of Red Blood Wine was barely even visible inside; he had no idea what kind of internal structure this White Jade Wine Pot possessed.

Based on Chu He's previous experience brewing white spirits, one liter of liquor usually weighed less than two jin. However, Red Blood Wine was clearly different from those ordinary spirits.

Through the White Jade Wine Pot, Chu He could clearly perceive that the weight of this Red Blood Wine was a full ten jin!

A drink of this magnitude was clearly not something that could be finished in one go.

Staying up late was harmful to the body, so Chu He prepared himself for an all-night training session.

Taking a sip of the Red Blood Wine, amidst the spicy, scorching sensation on his palate, Chu He began to practice his family's Seven Star Blade Technique.

As Cosmic Energy surged into his body, Chu He's physique gradually began to react.

A strange, warm current rose from his stomach, gathering like a trickling stream into a river, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.

This heat was gentle at first, but it gradually became scorching, as if a fire had been ignited within him.

Yet, very quickly, the efficacy of the Red Blood Wine spread like a volcanic eruption. A searing heat flowed to every part of his body like molten lava.

Chu He remained unmoved, flicking the tip of his blade upward with movements as swift as lightning.

As he exerted force, he clearly perceived that the muscles in his arms were becoming exceptionally active.

His muscle cells seemed to have been injected with new vitality; they expanded and contracted, and every contraction was more powerful than the last. Under the baptism of the heat, his muscle fibers became tougher, and every muscle grew more solid.

Every heartbeat was accompanied by a surge of strength.

Right before Chu He's eyes, the muscle definition on his arms became as clear as a sculpture.

Chu He dared not stop. He spun sharply, his blade carving a horizontal slash as his body rotated.

This strike was like a galaxy traversing the night sky. Wherever the blade passed, the air was sliced open, emitting a faint whistling sound.

His strength had clearly grown more formidable alongside the strengthening of his muscles.

Seeing the obvious changes, Chu He stared at the White Jade Wine Pot in his palm, his eyes shining brightly.

"What a treasure! Truly a magnificent treasure!"

From just that one sip, Chu He clearly realized that this was far superior to ordinary training!

Even the progress from a full month of his previous training was likely only equivalent to that single sip.

Chu He no longer hesitated and downed another large gulp.

BOOM!

This fire seemed to burn through his muscles and reach his fascia!

It burned into his bones!

His fascia became more supple and elastic.

His bone density increased, and his bones became harder and denser.

"Hiss!" Chu He couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, as if that could extinguish the raging fire within his body.

But soon, Chu He stopped doing that.

Every deep breath was accompanied by a faint sound from his bones; it was the sound of them undergoing drastic changes in a short period, as if they were being reshaped.

Chu He stopped swinging his blade.

He was worried that his bones might suddenly snap.

Fortunately, that imagination did not become reality.

Time ticked away, second by second, and the changes within Chu He continued slowly but steadily.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Chu He exhaled a breath of hot air, which turned into swirling white mist.

His face, his body, his back, and even his groin were covered in salt stains left by his sweat.

Feeling the heat flow begin to subside, and looking at the little Red Blood Wine left in the White Jade Wine Pot, Chu He steeled his heart and poured the rest into his stomach.

THUMP! THUMP!

The sound of his heartbeat echoed as if it were right beside his ears.

It was a sound like war drums!

Accompanied by the beating of the drums, Chu He's body turned bright red, and thick blue veins bulged and twisted, clinging to his torso like vines.

Finally, this fire burned into his cells.

In places Chu He could not perceive, the mitochondria within his cells became more active under the influence of the Red Blood Wine, releasing more energy to supply his entire body.

Even the DNA within his cell nuclei was undergoing a certain optimization, greatly enhancing his cells' self-repair and regenerative capabilities.

However, as these changes progressed, Chu He could clearly feel his strength, speed, and endurance increasing at an astonishing rate.

In the Sea of Consciousness, that spherical liquid originally suspended at the mouth of the White Jade Wine Pot now seemed to be boiling, billowing out dense waves of white mist.

Large amounts of mist spread frantically, quickly filling the entire Sea of Consciousness, and soon, the density of the mist began to rise.

Six o'clock in the morning.

In the Northeast Base City in November, the sky had yet to brighten.

Feeling the heat flow within his body slow down and vanish, Chu He exhaled a long breath of white air. His entire body felt as if his bones had been pulled out, and he slowly lay down on the floor.

This one night was even more exhausting than spending ten days in the Wilderness Zone.

It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental and spiritual fatigue.

However, the harvest was also immense.

Chu He clenched his fist, looking at his muscle definition, which was as clear as a sculpture, a scorching light blooming in his eyes.

This physique, which he wouldn't have even dared to imagine in his past life—more muscular than any bodybuilding coach—was now actually on his own body?

"Who was the first person to say that excessive fitness attracts the same sex? That statement is just so damn right!" Chu He's fingers couldn't help but slide over his own biceps, feeling their hardness.

"Tsk! Am I being a bit too narcissistic?"

"Whatever! What's wrong with being a bit narcissistic when you're this jacked!"

Saying that, after lying there for a few minutes, Chu He got up and walked over to the Punch Strength Machine.

His father had bought this and put it in the house; it was powerful enough to be used up to the Junior War God level.

Unfortunately, to this day, the upper limit of this Punch Strength Machine had never been broken.

"Bang!"

Chu He aimed at the punching target and struck it directly with a punch, the Punch Strength Machine emitting a dull thud.

It was as if it were mocking him: "Little brother, use some strength! Your power isn't enough!"

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Chu He threw seven or eight consecutive punches, took the average, and it was 7,629 kilograms.

Over seven thousand six hundred?

Chu He blinked. On the display screen, that was still the number.

"If I remember correctly, the standard threshold for a Junior War General is eight thousand, right?" Chu He muttered to himself. "If that heart came from an Elementary War General..."

A moment later.

"Hahaha!" Chu He's eyes flashed like lightning, his heart surging with excitement like a tidal wave.

"Take a look, this is what you call a cheat!"

"A single bottle of Red Blood Wine, brewed from the heart of a One-horned Iron Rhino—an Advanced Beast Soldier nearing the level of a Junior Beast General—pushed me directly to this level. If I were to brew all the hearts I brought back into wine, wouldn't I be able to push straight to an Advanced War General?"

However, the materials required for those higher-level hearts were clearly not something that could be easily bought in the Base City. Beyond the difference in age, there was also a distinction in the strength of the spiritual energy between wild and farmed specimens.

Moreover, the wine recipes for those hearts had yet to fully take shape, as Chu He had been exposed to too little spiritual energy thus far.

"Head to the Wilderness Zone, find the materials!" A powerful thought erupted in Chu He's mind.

"As expected, the good stuff is all in the Wilderness Zone!"

"I've hidden all my treasures in the Wilderness Zone. Do you want them? Then go find them!"

Carrying this somewhat eccentric thought, Chu He turned off the lights in the Martial Arts Hall and headed toward the bathroom.
