Vital Essence Breakthrough

"Mutation rate: zero. It worked!"

Yin Ming did not hesitate. He tipped back the Constitution Enhancement Potion and drank it in one gulp.

The warm, viscous, colorless potion melted the moment it entered his mouth. The filtered extraordinary bloodline factors seeped into his body and spread through every limb and bone.

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

A piercing agony shot through his nerves.

It was not as violent as having his soul torn apart, but it surged from every part of his body and lasted longer.

Just as his mind began to slip into unconsciousness to protect itself, an even sharper burst of pain jolted him awake.

Every cell in his body broke apart and re-formed. His bodily fluids boiled, and his skin turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

"So this is the bone-wrenching, sinew-tearing pain of advancing to a higher level of life."

Even snakes shedding their skin and shrimp shedding their shells had it hard. Cultivating and evolving could only be harder.

Some people simply spread that suffering into countless smaller portions over a long stretch of time.

Yin Ming gritted his teeth and endured the relentless waves of pain.

He would rather bear all the pain he was destined to suffer in a single burst, freeing more time to do other things and acquire more knowledge.

Half an hour later!

Yin Ming finally completed his first round of constitution enhancement.

His body radiated vitality. His constitution, long stuck at 34 points, finally rose again, and its upper limit climbed sharply.

Yin Ming traced a circuit of Sorcery Runes and channeled a wisp of magic into it.
