About two months ago, Lancelot took the [Regenerative Bone Marrow] bloodline potion and easily shattered the remnants of "Heavenly Sunflower Star's " will, successfully completing his third awakening.

Because the [Regenerative Bone Marrow] awakening process releases a large amount of Power of Life, which replenishes the body's own consumption to a certain extent, the nature of the Ability Energy itself is not Berserk, but rather very gentle.

This undoubtedly greatly shortened the "cooling-off time" of the gene chain. Lancelot waited two months, which is today, to prepare for his fourth awakening.

After placing the [Life Drain] potion into a specially made box, Lancelot took out the Basic Gene Stabilizer, which still had one last chance to be used, stepped onto the floating platform, and headed towards the secret training ground of the Holy Sword Academy.

Totem World.

When Lancelot arrived in the first district, strange energy fluctuations emanating from all directions seeped into his muscles, bones, and limbs like a gentle rain.

Ultimately, it acts on the gene chain at the microscopic level, much like installing a scaffold on a bridge, giving the body a sense of stability and security from the inside out.

"No, the first area is too far from the Evolution Totem. It's possible to awaken here at the Tier Three, but for now, let's go a little deeper."

After standing still and sensing for a moment, Lancelot frowned and muttered to himself.

Two months ago, he completed his third awakening in the first district of the Totem World, mastering his third Ability Energy [Regenerative Bone Marrow].

At that time, Lancelot's life rank was still at the Tier Three, and the energy fluctuation intensity of the first zone was already sufficient for him, not to mention the double blessing of the Gene Stabilizer.

However, after awakening [Regenerative Bone Marrow], Lancelot's life rank entered the ranks of Mid-Rank Transcendent.

Today, he is extremely close to being Fifth-Tier Transcendent.

At this level of life rank, the first zone undoubtedly becomes significantly less effective for him.

Every awakening of his Ability Energy was a life-or-death ordeal, so Lancelot dared not be careless in the slightest.

After glancing at the few credits he had left, Lancelot stepped into the second district.

After crossing a certain barrier, the special energy fluctuations released by the Evolution Totem became noticeably stronger.

Lancelot could sense that, under the influence of this fluctuation, the stability of his own genetic chain had also increased significantly.

Finding an empty room, Lancelot locked the door, activated Do Not Disturb mode to block out all external interference, and then took out the Basic Gene Stabilizer.

After removing the shirt, install the device properly.

The cool, metallic patches, each engraved with extremely fine and intricate energy patterns, pressed against his skin, sending a shiver down his Lancelot.

Dense black conduits wrapped around Lancelot, the ends of which were connected to a Rubik's Cube-shaped mechanical device.

Lancelot first checked his own condition again to make sure his physical functions were at their peak, then he extended his index finger and pressed a switch on the Rubik's Cube device.

As pale blue energy circuits lit up one by one, the Gene Stabilizer was activated.

After sensing for a moment, Lancelot nodded slightly. The device was operating stably and without any problems.

Opening the box, Lancelot took out a pale red [Life Drain] potion, removed the cork, and drank it all in one gulp.

The combination of the sweet, grassy taste and a slightly fishy smell made Lancelot frown slightly; the flavor was a bit strange, but it was a minor issue.

After the medicine slid into the stomach, it was quickly absorbed by the stomach wall, flowing through every corner of the body and penetrating to the deepest parts.

Soon, a familiar feeling returned.

Body temperature spikes rapidly, and the skin visibly turns bright red.

Immediately afterwards, veins bulged out, like dancing serpents.

The blood vessels also joined in the frenzy, their diameter expanding several times over, raising concerns that they might burst.

At this moment, Lancelot is far more terrifying than any super-muscle man.

However, having experienced multiple awakenings of his Ability Energy, he was quite familiar with the process. Although his expression was serious, he was not flustered, and his eyes were calm and composed.

About thirty seconds after taking the bloodline potion, a sharp, shrill scream suddenly exploded in my mind.

The resentment and anger, along with a palpable sense of madness, caused Lancelot to furrow his brow slightly.

The Heavenly Sunflower Star contained in the [Regenerative Bone Marrow] Bloodline Elixir is gentle in nature, dislikes fighting, and is cute, silly, and easily defeated.

However, according to the instruction manual provided at the exchange point, the [Life Drain] bloodline potion is extracted from the bloodline of a plant monster called "Bloodthirsty Vine".

Bloodthirsty Vine – just from the name, you know this thing is definitely not to be trifled with.

These terrifying vines, which feed on the flesh and blood of other creatures, are fierce, violent, cruel, and vicious. Their remaining will is far more difficult to deal with than that of Heavenly Sunflower Star.

However, Lancelot was not afraid. After becoming somewhat vigilant, he focused his mind on his brain.

At this very moment, a blood-red vine with dozens of branches was frantically lashing out in all directions, trying to shatter Lancelot's brain.

The surface of these branches is covered with menacing black and red barbs, each of which is hollow. Once inserted into a living organism, it can quickly turn it into a pile of dried-up corpses.

When Lancelot's will descended, the Bloodthirsty Vine instantly locked onto him.

After a scream, dozens of vines lashed out like whips, leaving behind clearly visible afterimages.

Lancelot's mind was highly focused, and he instantly activated the highest level of Flow Method. His incomparably powerful will and spirit combined to form Unrivaled sharp blades, which whistled as they rushed towards the lashing vines.

Faced with this ferocious creature, Lancelot did not choose to defend, but instead attacked back.

Only in this way can it be subdued, thus allowing the essence contained in the bloodline potion to be fully absorbed.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sharp blades crisscross, willpower is the edge, spirit is the spine, swift as lightning, explosive as flames.

Countless blades crisscrossed, and vines snapped in two, falling to the ground and quickly melting into Lancelot's mind, becoming a spiritual tonic.

Thus, under the tight net of blades constructed by Lancelot, not a single vine could break through the blockade and strike his will and body.

Finally, a mournful cry rang out, and the Bloodthirsty Vine exploded, turning into streaks of bloody light that merged into Lancelot's brain.
