How terrifying!
...Ahem, that day is still too far away.
How far is Earth from the Sun? Qi Jun hadn't memorized it, but he knew that it must be a distance that would make present-day Earthlings despair!
Qi Jun's attention returned to the absorption of fire energy.
Because of the increased energy absorption speed and intensity,
Qi Jun watched as his energy reserves quickly surpassed the previous limit of 500 and continued to climb higher!
1000~
2000~
3000~
4000~
Gradually, Qi Jun began to feel pain in his body.
However, due to the previous experience of extreme pleasure, this pain was tolerable.
4500~
Qi Jun's expression began to distort~
4800~
Qi Jun's expression was already twisted!
4900~
Qi Jun was in so much pain that he collapsed to the ground~
5000~
Qi Jun could no longer bear it!
"Stop!"
"Stop quickly!"
When the energy points reached the maximum of 5000, Qi Jun decisively chose to stop absorbing energy.
He took a deep breath, looked at the fire, which had slightly diminished but not too noticeably, and chuckled.
As expected, is it a tenfold growth rate?
He once again communicated with the [Mutated Gem] to materialize a higher-level body strengthening agent!
Chapter 40: It smells so good!
"Spend 5000 energy points to materialize a body strengthening potion that I can currently withstand, is the safest, fastest acting, and also oral!"
Once again, he communicated with the [Mutated Gem], and once again, he used up all his stored energy points.
Facing the still raging but slightly weakened fire, Qi Jun once again materialized a body strengthening potion glowing with green light.
Injections are stupid; oral is so much better!
With a thought, all 5000 energy points instantly reset to zero.
At the same time, a glass bottle with a straw, identical to the previous one, appeared in Qi Jun's hand.
Unlike the previous potion, which glowed green but was completely transparent, this one, while still radiating green light, had significantly reduced transparency and felt viscous overall.
Of course, Qi Jun didn't care whether it was transparent or viscous; he simply inserted the straw and took a gentle sip.
As expected, the seemingly viscous green liquid was easily sucked completely into his mouth.
Gulp~~
Throwing the empty bottle with the straw into the fire, Qi Jun swallowed the green liquid in his mouth without hesitation... "Oh oh oh~~~~"
"Ah ah ah~~~~"
As expected, the two identical extreme experiences once again descended upon Qi Jun.
Qi Jun rolled, twisted, and convulsed on the ground without any regard for his image.
Fortunately, Qi Jun had previously injected some energy into 'Rorschach's Forgetter Mask' and kept its attribute effect active.
Additionally, Qi Jun was on the edge of the fire, far from the onlookers, and the roaring and exploding sounds of the fire suppressed everything else.
Otherwise, with his screams, his abnormality would have been discovered long ago.
At the very least, even if the people involved actively forgot about Qi Jun, there were still so many microphones that would inevitably record Qi Jun's screams, leading to some secret organizations quietly investigating.
Fortunately, all of this did not happen due to the fire, which could be said to be both a blessing and a curse!
...Two minutes later, Qi Jun once again lay paralyzed on the ground, feeling utterly lifeless.
Even though he clearly felt the powerful strength contained within his body, Qi Jun seemed to have lost even the strength to move.
Of course, this was just a momentary trance!
The stronger his body became, the more Qi Jun could experience that extreme to ultimate sensation.
Evidently, as his body continued to strengthen, the second time was even more unbearable than the first.
The third time would also be even more unbearable than the second.
After lying down for a while, Qi Jun sprang up with a carp-like flip.
And, with a casual carp-like flip, he actually jumped almost ten meters high, which startled Qi Jun.
"But, this feeling..."
"It's really exhilarating!"
