Every time the one performed the Mutant Blood Enhancement, it was easier to fail than the previous time.
It seemed that he was not much different from ordinary people. However, in the face of such a probability of failure, he was not like some geniuses who would definitely succeed, even if the success rate was 0.01%.
If his body had not begun to collapse during the strengthening, he would have had more time to hide and think about how to obtain more Information State particles.
But now, he could only do it as soon as possible, using a radical method.
Zhou Jing had already made up his mind.
He would take one last gamble and see if he could create an impact large enough to make up for the last 10 Information State particles gap.
If not, he would inherit Jason’s power and start a new apostle. In any case, he would not suffer much of a loss.
Now that he had the experience, he was not in a hurry. His goal was to obtain supernatural powers before boarding the immigration spacecraft in the main world. The deadline was two months.
On the other hand, the development of “Jason Wood” was quite smooth, far exceeding his expectations. It only took seven to eight “main world” days for him to grow to his current level. There were plenty of opportunities.
If he went back to find the lord, he would probably die. He had to make some preparations.
Now, the only thing he had with him of value was the 1,400 silver coins. There was no need to bring this money with him. Thus he asked Ross to find a place to bury it.
If he was in trouble this time, he could just wait for his next apostle to be molded before reclaiming the coins.
While Ross was burying the treasure, Zhou Jing also checked his current state.
From time to time, his internal organs would hurt, and his joints would feel hot. Blood would drip from his nose, but his physical state was rather excited. It was as if he had become energetic after exhausting himself to a certain extent or as if he had squeezed out his vitality and was burning it in the last moments.
It felt like a car that was about to fall apart, but it was able to run at its top speed.
The enhancement this time was a “fake success,” causing irreversible damage and genetic collapse; after the enhancement was completed, the power of the second enhancement had already been enhanced. It was like a summer flower—beautiful yet short-lived.
He took a closer look at the characteristics brought about by the second enhancement.
______________
[Tenacious Body]
[Effect: Your defense and movement stability have been greatly enhanced. You can withstand a stronger impact without being injured.]
[Violent Gale]
[Effect: Your explosive power and speed will increase. When you attack quickly, you can unleash greater power.]
[Tiger Courage]
[Effect: You have the courage of a ferocious tiger. Your destructive power has increased and makes you unstoppable.]
[Low-level Wind Resistance]
[Effect: You have some slight resistance to the wind element.]
This time, he had inherited the Wind Howl Tiger’s strength, but it did not have an active characteristic like that of “Thunder Strike.” The four characteristics were all passive, increasing his physical fitness in all aspects.
The first enhancement of the Lightning Leopard Potion focused on speed, agility, and explosive power. This time, he possessed the characteristics of a tiger-type mutant beast. Not only was he agile, but his strength and defense had also been passively enhanced. It was even more ferocious than the Lightning Leopard.
“My physical attributes have reached 40 points, which is already the limit of Level 1. It seems that I can’t increase it anymore… The additional 3 points of Physical Fitness shouldn’t be able to exceed the limit, so it hasn’t taken effect yet?”
Zhou Jing pondered to himself.
It seemed that the additional +3 Physical Fitness could only be added to his attributes after breaking through the limit of Level 1.
However, there was no notification on the interface on how to break through the limit of his attributes.
He guessed that it was probably the same as ordinary people. They either had special opportunities or accumulated many years of training to break through their bottlenecks.
There was no way to try now.
In addition to increasing the tier of the [Mutant Blood Warrior] system, he also obtained the first kill achievement of the Mutant Blood Warrior.
Based on the suffix, killing every Mutant Blood Warrior Rank would be regarded as an achievement.
Furthermore, his synchronization rate had increased by 10%. It was probably because this battle matched the characteristics of Jason·Wood—he lived in a martial way, pursued strength, and was a fanatic that had a head of steel.
Not long after, Ross returned empty-handed. Zhou Jing put his hand on his head and received the image, remembering the location mark of this huge sum of money.
Then, he picked up two relatively intact long sabers from the ground as backup and ran in the direction of White Plains Town with Ross.
...
Night gradually enveloped the land, and the moonlight draped a silver veil over White Plains Town.
In the city, many houses were lit, but there were few pedestrians on the streets. It was no longer as lively as during the day.
At night, the town was closed to the public, and most of the residents had gone home. Only the guards were patrolling the streets.
Unless there were special circumstances, no one was allowed to enter or leave at night. At this moment, wooden gates had been lowered at the city gate, and braziers on both sides illuminated the area.
Four guards were inside the door, leaning against the wall in boredom and chatting. The topics revolved around drinking, gambling, and which hotel’s maids were better looking.
As they were bragging, one of the guards suddenly caught sight of two figures approaching from the road outside the city gate.
“Stop, who is it?”
The guard barked out.
Soon, Zhou Jing and Ross arrived at the city gate. The guards behind the door used the light from the brazier to see their faces clearly.
Zhou Jing’s body was covered in blood, and there was a black bloodstain between his nose and mouth. There was also a cloth bag that was stained dark red by the blood on his waist. It was bulging, and it was unknown what was inside.
The four guards were all shocked to see Zhou Jing covered in blood.
“It’s you, Hunter bro? You… What’s going on? Did you encounter a mutant beast?”
Someone among the guards recognized Zhou Jing and asked in surprise.
“Yes, there’s an emergency. I have to see the lord. Let me in.”
Zhou Jing’s expression did not change as he lied through his teeth.
“Uh… okay.”
The four guards hesitated for a moment before deciding to allow him entry. They turned the winch and raised the gate bit by bit.
