Breaking Through to Intermediate War General, Elementary War God Level Spiritual Force

Seven days later.

Sensing that the Red Blood Wine, brewed primarily from the heart of a Frost Shadow Deer in the White Jade Wine Pot, had finished fermenting, Chu He immediately called President Zhou Haichao of the Thunder Dojo.

He wasn't urging him to depart, but rather asking how much longer it would take and whether it would interfere with his consumption and digestion of the Spirit Wine.

Judging by the intensity of the spiritual energy swirling within this pot of Red Blood Wine, it would only take two or three days to strengthen Chu He to the level of an Intermediate War General.

And that was even accounting for the time Chu He needed to absorb and digest it.

Zhou Haichao replied quickly. The War God expert he had contacted was currently tied up with other matters and would likely need about another week before he could free himself.

Chu He didn't need to worry about the assessment.

As for the Mist Residential District, Zhou had long since arranged for several squads to stand guard in the vicinity, dissuading other Martial Artist Squads from trying to break in.

Zhou Haichao was far more concerned about this matter than Chu He. After all, it was a resource related to his own breakthrough to the War God realm!

After confirming that the timeline wouldn't affect his upcoming cultivation plan, Chu He hung up the phone, feeling at ease.

"Next, it's time to prepare to drink this Red Blood Wine!" Chu He's expression was solemn.

Having experienced staying up all night and nearly collapsing the last time he drank the Red Blood Wine, Chu He decided to be fully prepared this time. Moreover, he planned to drink the Spirit Wine in batches over two days.

During these seven days, Chu He had relaxed quite a bit at home, and his current state was optimal.

After telling his parents, Chu He went to the Martial Arts Hall on the second floor, summoned the White Jade Wine Pot, and placed it on a small table he had prepared in advance.

On the small table, there was also a crystal glass.

Last time, he had been in such a rush to experience the blood-qi strengthening effects of the Red Blood Wine that he hadn't really savored the taste of the Spirit Wine.

It was like Zhu Bajie eating the Ginseng Fruit—a total waste of a treasure.

This time, being well-prepared, Chu He naturally wouldn't forget that aspect.

He tilted the White Jade Wine Pot slightly, and a stream of wine, red as blood, flowed slowly down the side of the crystal-clear glass.

"Whoosh!"

The bright red liquid swirled in the crystal glass, shimmering with the luster of a ruby under the warm yellow lights of the Martial Arts Hall.

A scorching aroma wafted toward him.

Picking up the crystal glass, Chu He drank it in one gulp.

After the spicy, burning liquid swirled around his mouth, a sensation of intense heat slid down his throat and flowed along his esophagus into his stomach.

A feeling of comfort, like drinking a cup of hot water in the middle of winter, instantly swept through his entire body.

This time, Chu He did not get up to practice his blade techniques. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Guidance Technique recorded within the Seven Star Blade Technique.

Although the Guidance Technique recorded in the Seven Star Blade Technique was mediocre, under the enhancement of the Red Blood Wine, the speed at which he absorbed Cosmic Energy and circulated his Vital Energy became incredibly fast.

If, at the beginning, without having consumed the Red Blood Wine, the Cosmic Energy had flowed into Chu He's body slowly like a trickling mountain spring.

While his body was still being strengthened by the Cosmic Energy, such changes were gradual, and both the speed and degree of improvement were quite limited.

Without the aid of the Red Blood Wine, the infiltration and absorption of Cosmic Energy progressed slowly. Cell division and genetic optimization were also relatively mild.

But now, after drinking the Red Blood Wine, the flow of Cosmic Energy suddenly became fierce, like a great river rushing into the sea—unstoppable.

This caused the speed and effectiveness of the changes within Chu He's body to undergo a qualitative leap.

The Red Blood Wine seemed to act as a catalyst between the Cosmic Energy and Chu He's body, accelerating the process of energy absorption and conversion.

The colorless and formless Cosmic Energy penetrated Chu He's skin, and was immediately devoured by every cell in his body.

Under the scorching influence of the Red Blood Wine's spiritual essence, these cells became like hungry beasts, greedily absorbing this surge of energy.

At the same time, in places Chu He could not see, within the microscopic world of his cells, the Cosmic Energy was rapidly absorbed by the mitochondria.

The speed of cell division accelerated, the extent of genetic optimization became more pronounced, and the volume of the cells began to shrink.

His muscle tissue began to self-optimize, becoming stronger and more efficient.

The density of his skeleton was quietly increasing.

This not only meant that Chu He's body would become sturdier, but it also meant that his skeleton would be able to withstand greater pressure and impact.

Over the course of two days, Chu He did not spend the entire time training in the Martial Arts Hall.

The Red Blood Wine did not have to be consumed all at once to be effective.

One sip, another sip, and another...

Every time Chu He took a sip of the wine, he would circulate the Guidance Technique to absorb the Cosmic Energy.

Perhaps it was because although the frequency of consumption was high, the amount of each sip was small, or perhaps it was because the main ingredient of this bottle of Red Blood Wine was the Frost Shadow Deer...

In any case, this time, Chu He did not experience the sensation of magma erupting like he had last time. Instead, it felt as if he were in a sauna, or enveloped by a hot spring.

Warm, scorching.

Under the scorching heat of the Red Blood Wine, this Cosmic Energy was rapidly absorbed by every cell in Chu He's body at an incredible speed.

Every one of his cells was becoming more active and healthier. These cells were not only increasing in quantity but were also improving in quality.

Their vitality became more vigorous, and their functions became more powerful.

His skin became smoother, his muscles grew firmer, and his skeleton became harder.

His body was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

This transformation was an evolution of life, an optimization of his genes.

Every breath he took, every heartbeat, bore witness to this miracle unfolding.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, as Chu He's body continued to evolve, the liquid sphere left behind by the White Jade Wine Pot's mental reinforcement began to evaporate, releasing wisps of white mist.

Chu He's body was being reinforced, and naturally, his Spiritual Force was skyrocketing in accordance with the limits of his physical constitution.

The moment his physical fitness was reinforced to the level of an Intermediate War General, the liquid sphere of Spiritual Force in his Sea of Consciousness completely evaporated into white mist, dissipating and merging into Chu He's Sea of Consciousness.

Two days slipped away quietly, and the Red Blood Wine in the White Jade Wine Pot gradually ran dry.

Chu He finished his final cycle of the Guidance Technique, opened his eyes, and threw a fierce punch.

"BOOM!"

The air exploded violently, and the sound of the air blast made Chu He's eyes light up.

His pupils, already as bright as stars, now overflowed with a dazzling radiance.

"Has my physical fitness reached the level of an Intermediate War General?" Chu He muttered to himself. "Then... what about my Spiritual Force!"

"Hum! Hum!"

Several Flying Daggers automatically lifted off from the weapon rack nearby, spinning around Chu He.

One, then another...

One by one, the Flying Daggers gradually joined the stream of light.

"Good!"

Seeing the nine streaks of light circling around him, Chu He roared with excitement.

Elementary War God Level Spiritual Force!

In a sense, Chu He could now be considered a War God.

"Heading to the Mist Residential District this time, I finally have some ability to protect myself!"
