As the medicinal liquid was swallowed, Qi Jun immediately felt a warm energy instantly spread throughout his body.
Qi Jun's entire body appeared somewhat glowing green, but under the soothing warmth of this energy, he felt utterly comfortable, even letting out an involuntary hum.
Under the gentle warmth of this energy, all of Qi Jun's pain completely vanished, and his physical strength was further enhanced.
"Ah~~~"
"Ah ah~~~~"
"Ah ah ah~~~~~"
But the good times didn't last; less than five seconds passed.
Intense pain once again surged from Qi Jun's entire body to his mind.
Qi Jun felt as if every cell in his body was being pulverized and reorganized!
Then, the previous feeling of comfort resurfaced~
"Oh oh oh~~~"
Then, the intense sensation of being crushed resurfaced~
"Ah ah ah~~~"
..."Oh oh oh~~~"
"Ah ah ah~~~"
Every five seconds, the cycle repeated, lasting a full two minutes!
During these two minutes, Qi Jun continuously experienced both the most exhilarating sensation and the most intense pain in the world!
..."Hoo~"
"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"
"That's too abnormal!"
"I absolutely never want to experience that feeling a second time!"
"The ultimate pleasure and the ultimate pain!"
"My god, I feel like I've lived a century!"
The torment ended, and Qi Jun muttered to himself, staring blankly at the sky.
"However!"
"This feeling of immense power is so exhilarating!"
His eyes quickly refocused, and Qi Jun soon regained his composure.
He scrambled to his feet, disregarding the sweat covering his body, and feeling his body return to its peak and the powerful strength within him, he was instantly filled with boundless pride!
I! Qi Jun! Am invincible!
...Of course, all of this was merely an illusion of explosive power that Qi Jun had just acquired.
Moreover, now was not the time for daydreaming!
"This is not over yet!"
"I still need to continue absorbing fire energy!"
"Until there isn't a single spark left in the fire scene!"
Qi Jun looked at the still-raging fire, which was even intensifying under the sea breeze, and his resolve grew stronger.
How could he not seize such a rare and excellent opportunity to absorb some energy!
"Absorb!"
"Keep absorbing!"
With a thought, the power of the [Mutated Gem] reappeared, enveloping the sea of fire before Qi Jun.
+10
+10
+10
Eh?
Is it that terrifying? It directly increased tenfold?
Doesn't that mean my physical attributes have also increased tenfold?
Thinking of this, Qi Jun immediately became incredibly excited!
He hadn't known how much he had strengthened before, but now, with a glance, it was clear!
...Indeed, as his physical attributes improved, his energy absorption speed also increased, and even the amount of energy absorbed directly surged!
Furthermore, Qi Jun even felt that the range of the sea of fire covered by the power of the [Mutated Gem] seemed to have expanded?
So, the distance from which he could absorb energy also increased?
Hiss~~~
Hoo~~~
He took a deep breath to calm his nerves!
Qi Jun seemed to envision a future day when he would be on Earth, yet effortlessly able to absorb the sun's energy!
Would a single absorption cause a solar helium flash?
Would another absorption make the sun disappear?
