New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 230 Ruthless Killing of the Frog Girl
In the dimly lit warehouse, a tiger demon, its skin a mix of black and scrawled white stripes, stared coldly at the half-elf whose right eye was glowing.

In a nearby corner, the snake demon slowly disappeared into the rippling shadows, leaving only the unconscious orc Chuanzi lying on the ground, fast asleep.

After Yuan Zhu deactivated the [Tiger Demon] and switched back to human form, he pointed at the orc on the ground and said to Nie Yin, "Look, the test subject. Are you confident in performing the [Frog School] contamination modification on it?"

The Frog Girl glared at Yuan Zhu with some reluctance, seemingly annoyed that he had made her cool 'Brain Tiger' and 'Giant Snake' disappear.

Then, in a cold and weak tone, she replied, "Yes."

Through the emotional changes transmitted back by the [Anti-Law], Yuan Zhu discovered that the girl's emotions were highly variable, suddenly changing from excitement, trembling, admiration, and a desire to get closer; to disdain, disgust, and a desire to keep some distance.

She didn't equate Yuan Zhu, this human, with the imposing and domineering "Tiger Demon" from before.

Candle thought to himself, "Is this girl a little slow-witted?"

Snake echoed, "Perhaps they are purely visual beings? Both the Tiger Demon and the snake tail are 'sources of pollution' bound by the 'Anti-Theory. Shadow,' so it's normal for her, as a 'Anti-Theory User,' to feel genuinely close to it. On the other hand, your human form, although possessing the 'Anti-Theory,' cannot mobilize even a trace of 'Shadow Power.' Your body is covered in 'Holy Light,' which is righteously evil and extremely good at disguising yourself."

Because all the "anti-law masters (demons)" are generally assumed to have control over the "fund pool," but are powerless to directly use pollution.

It's like having billions in wealth, but you can only spend money to hire armies and superheroes/villains to indirectly serve you and fight for you; you can't be like Iron Man or Green Goblin, putting on technological armor and undergoing genetic mutations to directly gain superpowers.

Therefore, the [Anti-Law] possesses exceptional concealment and disguise capabilities. As long as the [Anti-Law Master] does not actively reveal their identity, outsiders will find it difficult to detect the connection between you and the [Anti-Law], and will instead appear as if they are outsiders.

For example, at this very moment, Nie Yin and Yuan Zhu clearly have a spiritual connection, and at the same time, they are very clear about their employer-employee relationship.

But in her eyes, Yuan Zhu's aura of "holy light" from head to toe made it difficult for her to like him. She even wanted to stay away from him and avoid the hidden "holy light power".

The 'Dark Big Cat' is still both majestic and adorable! I really want to sneak a rub against it.

Yuan Zhu, unaware of the other party's strange thoughts, pointed at the unconscious orc and said, "Then let's begin the demonstration!"

Upon receiving the order, Nie Yin did not hesitate any longer. He walked straight to the sleeping orc, took out a pair of gloves from his backpack, and began to examine him, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Yuan Zhu observed coldly, then asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

Nie Yin stood up and said to Yuan Zhu, "There are no signs of enhancement or modification from the Frog School on his body, but the intensity of 'Shadow Contamination' in his body is very high, and his muscle tissue has also undergone mutations. What's going on?"

Yuan Zhu tossed her a small pumpkin containing a sum of cash and a document called "Shadow. Insect-type Aberration Tissue".

"This is your onboarding gift. Inside is a 'Shadow-type Extraordinary Crystal.' It originates from the muscle tissue of a giant, mutated insect. Once it comes into contact with living flesh, it rapidly spreads throughout the body, parasitizing the flesh and bringing enhancements in strength, physique, defense, and other aspects. Will this spontaneous 'contamination enhancement' help the [Frog-type Modification]? Or will it conflict with it?"

Nie Yin replied, “It helps. Before undergoing the Frog School’s transformation, the higher the physical qualities of any life form, the stronger its potential and talent. ‘Pollution enhancement’ that does not exceed a certain threshold meets the Frog School’s transformation standards. However… the higher the innate physique of this type of artificially created body, the higher the quality of the ‘body tempering fluid’ involved in the Frog School’s basic transformation. From a cost perspective, it’s not worthwhile.”

As they spoke, Nie Yin pulled out a small glass bottle, about the size of a perfume bottle, from her backpack. Inside was a pale yellow liquid.

Yuan Zhu was only 3 meters away from her, and could clearly sense the new [contamination attribute] emanating from the bottle. How to describe it? It was extremely restrained, calm, and stable, exuding a powerful aura, and one could faintly hear the 'croaking' of a spiritual level, like muffled thunder.

Based on the Soul Crystal's 'detection of evil' assessment, this is an absolutely neutral, even righteous, 'transcendent system'. Its polluting and corrosive properties are very weak, somewhat similar to the 'inert knowledge' mentioned by Meng Xiyue.

【Inert knowledge】is actually not stable, but rather very active, actively pursuing and eroding the spirit; however, the 'pale yellow liquid' in this bottle is genuine 【inert pollution】, which is very stable.

Yuan Zhu suspected that even if he poured the [Body Tempering Fluid] into his palm and applied it to his body, it might not cause 'contamination and erosion'.

"This is the [Body Tempering Fluid]?"

Nie Yin nodded: "The high-concentration purified substance can be diluted into 20 bottles of [Standard Version. Tempering Fluid]."

According to her description, ordinary humans and even ordinary orcs, as long as their deviation is below 30%, can use the [Frog School. Beginner Modification] simply by diluting the standard [Body Tempering Fluid] again.

After undergoing a phase of 'adaptation and modification', only then can the Quasi-Frog School warriors be qualified to directly use the standard version of [Body Tempering Fluid] under the guidance of professionals.

But this orc is different. After being enhanced by the [Shadow. Aberration Organization], he is considered a 'pseudo-genius' whose talent has been artificially enhanced within the [Frog School]'s domain. However, the cost is a surge in 'deviation', greatly increasing the difficulty of modification. Even the standard version of [Body Tempering Fluid] cannot contaminate him; a higher concentration of 'purified' version is required.

Snake commented, "That makes sense. The [Aberrant Tissue] increases its own pollution intensity, so it can only be covered and strengthened with a more advanced [Quenching Fluid (Frog-type Pollution)]."

Yuan Zhu then asked, "So now, are you going to directly modify it using 'high-concentration purified material'?"

Nie Yin shook his head: "No! Such a strong orc is very precious and cannot be wasted easily. I need to conduct in vitro tests first to confirm the appropriate 'purification concentration' for it."

According to the feedback from [Anti-Law], Nie Yin was slightly nervous when facing his questions; but these distracting emotions were all dispelled by his strong desire to personally torture and modify orcs.

Therefore, she maintained a state of excitement, anticipation, eagerness, and restraint throughout. When answering questions, she no longer hesitated and appeared confident and composed (though feigned composure).

"Do you need my help?"

"want!"

This time, Nie Yin took the initiative to make requests: "It's too dark here, and I also need a table. There's one over there; bring it to me. I also need a few iron chains to hang the orcs up for easier modification later."

Above the warehouse were two simple gantry cranes, convenient for moving and stacking goods. Chains hung from the top, perfect for suspending orcs. Yuan Zhu moved a large table, turned on the warehouse lights, pulled the chains over, and quickly hoisted the unconscious orc high into the air. He then looked at the other man.

At this moment, the frog-killing girl also placed her schoolbag on the table and kept taking out items from it. Several glass syringes of different sizes, an aluminum lunchbox filled with cotton wool and gauze, and rows of needles.

Next came a batch of surgical tools of various sizes, including scalpels, needles and thread, scissors, and forceps. Soon after, she took out a bronze statue of the Frog God.

The moment the statue appeared, it attracted Yuan Zhu's attention.

This is a statue depicting a headless, skinned, muscular frog, standing upright on a brass tray with its legs spread apart. It faces away from Yuan Zhu and Nie Yin, with its arms raised high, striking a classic fitness pose that exudes a powerful and muscular physique.

Without any further explanation, Yuan Zhu immediately recognized that this brass 'headless, skinned frog' was indeed the legendary 'Frog God'!
Moreover, this statue is also entangled with intense 'resentment, despair, and curses,' as if it were being haunted by countless evil spirits.

Fortunately, the Tiger Demon absorbed the Yellow Springs Aura in the Little Red Realm to complete his Ghostly Abilities. He had some understanding of the Underworld, Yellow Springs, and Ghosts in this world, and was considered to have half the ability to see ghosts.

It can be confirmed that this [Frog God Statue] binds the souls of a large number of frogs, much like a butcher's knife, exuding an indescribable malevolent aura. Its originally ordinary brass material has gradually become extraordinary due to the presence of frog spirits.

Yuan Zhu couldn't help but ask, "This is... the Frog God?"

Nie Yin's soft, sweet voice revealed a hint of confidence: "Yes! It's an essential experimental tool for the Frog School, and each laboratory has several of them. Every student is also required to carry their own exclusive [Statue] as a personal prop."

"what's it for?"

"The successful conduct of auxiliary experiments is a fundamental element of some rituals of the Frog School."

As she spoke, she placed the Frog God Statue in the center of the table, then took out a rag and began wiping the table and cleaning the statue itself. She then arranged the equipment according to her personal habits.

Finally, turning to Yuan Zhu, he said, "Please release [Holy Light] to purify this simple experimental platform and the surrounding environment."

As she spoke, she moved a bottle of holy water containing the power of holy light to the side.

In a standard Frog School experiment, the academy requires multiple rounds of sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection of the experimental workbench. Finally, a mist sprayer is used to spray "holy water" for ultimate purification, followed by natural evaporation to ensure zero contamination.

Nie Yin explained, "If conditions permit, a basic barrier can be set up around this 'simple experimental platform' to isolate 'contamination' from the natural environment. Ideally, it should be conducted in a sterile, uncontaminated 'laboratory'."

Yuan Zhu stood aside, listening intently and nodding repeatedly. He secretly sighed, thinking that although this girl was a bit timid, a bit withdrawn, and prone to exuding dark energy, she was still reliable in her professional field.

Without hesitation, Yuan Zhu raised his hand and cast [Holy Light. Illumination]. The [Holy Mark] began to burn the wound, and a soft 'holy light ball' rose from his fingertip, floating above the table and automatically releasing [holy light] to purify everything, even the hanging orcs, who circled around it a few times, cleaning away the remaining contamination on their bodies.

As the one in charge, Nie Yin also endured the discomfort and accepted the "Illumination Technique" with its "bathroom-level purification."

At the same time, he inwardly marveled at how convenient the [Holy Light] system was for extraordinary research. It was practically a one-click cleanup tool. In specific experimental phases, [Holy Light] also proved useful in many details.

Unlike ordinary staff members who always need to carry "holy water and holy ash" to promptly clean, dry, and isolate blood-stained scalpels, experimental subject wounds, and repeatedly used medicines...

Nie Yin took out a mechanical pocket watch, stood in front of the makeshift operating table, and waited for 5 minutes. Based on his experience and his keen senses, after confirming that the remaining [holy light] on the table had completely dissipated, he began what could be described as an art performance.

She first took a glass bottle containing an 'experimental frog', twisted off the cap, and the smell of ether mixed with alcohol quickly evaporated.

The little girl calmly picked up the unconscious frog with her bare hands. This thing didn't need any 'holy light disinfection'; it had already been confirmed to be clean enough before packaging and could be used directly.

Then, she gently picked up a willow-leaf knife, and with a swift stroke, Yuan Zhu didn't even see a drop of blood. The soft-looking girl had already used both hands, first using eight fingers to hold the 'frog's body in place, then pressing her thumbs against the frog's buttocks and pushing hard.

Like pulling a sock backwards from a foot, it smoothly pushes the frog out from under the skin covering its body.

The scene flashed before Yuan Zhu's eyes, and Nie Yin skillfully completed the skinning process. With his left hand, he grabbed the 'frog' with its muscles exposed to the air, and with his right hand, he pulled the outward-turned conjoined frog skin, then with a forceful tug, he pulled the frog's arms and legs out of the conjoined leather sleeves and trouser legs.

Bang!

A whole, conjoined frog skin was thrown onto the table. In Nie Yin's hand, a muscular, visually striking, naked, skinned frog was twitching its limbs involuntarily under the stimulation of pain.

It looks just like a fitness athlete doing the breaststroke, showing off the strong muscles in his legs and arms.

At this moment, Nie Yin raised her knife again and precisely severed the spinal cord at the back of the naked frog's neck. Then, the blade rotated 360 degrees, severing the frog's head completely. With a forceful twist of her hand, she broke it off.

The next second, Nie Yin discarded his sword and casually grabbed a handful of 'holy ash' (corpse protein powder) and smeared it on the severed wound. Before blood could gush out, the wound (the severed section) was stimulated by the 'holy ash,' causing the flesh and tissue to contract violently, leaving only traces of blood seeping out...

The whole process was so fast that it was almost overwhelming.

With a 'rip!' sound, the skin was peeled off; then with a 'snap!' sound, the head was severed.

All that remained was a muscular, skinned frog body convulsing violently as it displayed its talents. Its muscles were well-developed and full, so similar to the brass "Frog God" statue on the table!
As the skinless frog head fell onto the table, a barely perceptible 'soul fluctuation' was absorbed by the [Frog God Statue].

Yuan Zhu realized that the endless resentment, despair, and curses entwined around the statue were clearly the remnants of frog souls from the hands of the Frog-Slaying Girl. These 'Frog School Experimental Frogs' who died on the operating table could be captured and bound by the [Statue].

Therefore, the more experienced the student is, the more frog souls the Frog God Statue absorbs, the stronger its divine power becomes, and the better the ritual effect... The more experience one has and the more dead souls one possesses, the stronger the effect becomes, creating a positive feedback loop.
