New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 232 The Birth of the Ultimate Warrior!
Nie Yin paused his work, focused his gaze on a puddle of holy ash on the table, picked up a small pinch, rubbed it, and held it up to his eyes to observe and sense it before commenting, "Poor quality."

Yuan Zhu immediately retorted, "My [Holy Light] has only just broken through to the 2nd seal. Stick with me, and I'll provide you with a better and higher-quality exclusive custom version in the future!"

To produce high-quality [Holy Ash], either the Holy Light must be of high quality, or the battery must be in excellent condition. If both are present, a top-tier item can be produced. Considering he was just entering the second seal stage, and before his seal was even fully formed, he managed to produce ash from an ordinary experimental sample—his future is promising!
Nie Yin seemed to believe him and solemnly replied, "Okay."

Subsequently, Nie Yin, who had measured the 'contamination concentration' of the hybrid orc through an experimental frog, picked up a brand new syringe and extracted about half the dose from the bottle of highly concentrated purified [Body Tempering Fluid].

The croaking of frogs from the spiritual realm now emanated from the syringe with even greater frequency and intensity. At this moment, the Frog God Statue and the Tempering Fluid subtly formed a mystical connection. Recalling the orc about to receive the injection, Yuan Zhu sensed that this "transformation ritual" had a similar feel to the one he had used to imprint the "Holy Mark."

The dosage, which could originally be diluted to make 20 standard bottles, was now reduced to half. This means that the [Shadow Contamination] within this beast's body requires a [Tempering Fluid] of ten times the strength to complete the first round of 'Strength Foundation Building'.

At the same time, the core [Contamination System] within this hybrid orc was changed from 'Shadow Erosion' back to [Path of Power] (but with Shadow Enchantment).

After completing all the preparations, when Nie Yin, holding a syringe, approached the unconscious mixed-blood orc, the 'confidence' and 'composure' she exuded from within finally vanished.

Now, facing the 'orc test subject' she had never encountered before, she finally reverted to her usual hesitant, nervous, and timid self, unable to lift her hands, and struggled to get into the zone. This was a stark contrast to her previous ease in skinning frogs and calmly electrocuting frogs.

Yuan Zhu asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

At this moment, Nie Yin felt both an immediate urge and an impulse to act, as well as concerns and hesitation about wasting such top-quality materials.
"I am not familiar with the Frog School's modification process in real-life scenarios. I have observed it many times and assisted senior students in the modification process, but I have never personally carried it out. In addition, based on my observation, the physiological structure and muscle group distribution of orcs are different from those of humans."

"As humans, we differ in height, weight, muscle distribution, and the location of acupoints in classical medicine. I'm not confident I can accurately and perfectly perform the initial transformation of this orc into 'Ultimate Strength'!"

Yuan Zhu could confirm through the [Anti-Law] that the other party wasn't lacking in confidence. Rather, after fighting each other since childhood, this was the first time he had personally led such an 'experimental modification,' and he was somewhat apprehensive.

Furthermore, she was never qualified to lead 'human modification experiments' and was always assigned to the most basic tasks of killing frogs and preparing body quenching fluids.

When she participated in the modification surgery, she was only responsible for recording, handing over tools, running errands, and various auxiliary tasks; after the modification was completed, she was responsible for cleaning the laboratory and dealing with pollution... Now, a 'beastman' that is more precious than human material is placed in front of her, and she is free to do whatever she wants. She is somewhat at a loss, worried that she will waste such a good experimental subject.

Nie Yin: "How about the boss finds me a few cheap items to practice on first?"

Although the Frog Girl was unaware that her employer had already begun 'illegally polluting goblins and engaging in underground breeding operations,' she instinctively thought of 'goblins,' which were humanoid creatures with two legs and a brain like Dio, making them perfect for practicing and gaining experience.

Yuan Zhu, brimming with confidence, waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, don't feel burdened. I said I would take care of you... train you, and invest in you. So what if you're just a 'beastman'? Go ahead and build them! It doesn't matter if they break! Don't worry about the modification results not meeting the standards. As long as you pass the minimum requirement and can barely complete the introductory stage of [Limit Power], you'll meet my requirements. I'll give you an extra bonus!"

Hearing this, Nie Yin felt much more at ease, and his small body once again burst with confidence. He reversed the Heavenly Gang and issued an order to Yuan Zhu: "Boss, I need you to act as my assistant and help me."

Yuan Zhu eagerly leaned closer and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Remove its clothing and cleanse and disinfect its body. First with alcohol, then with holy light."

Yuan Zhu pondered for two seconds, then asked, "Should we leave it a final fig leaf?"

We're just a man and a woman meeting for the second time, and we're about to strip this orc naked in this enclosed warehouse. Isn't this plot development a bit off?

Nie Yin was taken aback: "You can keep your undergarments. The first injection of [Ultimate Power] mainly targets the major muscle groups in the torso, limbs, and head. It aims to maximize the activation of the modifier's 'physical strength potential'."

Snake also appeared at this moment, showing off the "Frog School" she had collected and organized overnight.

"Large, the human body has a total of 639 muscles. There are skeletal muscles that make up the limbs and trunk, smooth muscles that exist in internal organs, and cardiac muscles that make up the heart. There are many kinds, including not only 'voluntary muscles' that are controlled by one's own consciousness and can drive the body to move, but also 'involuntary muscles' that are not under one's own control and move spontaneously, such as blood vessels and the stomach and intestines..."

"The introductory modification of the Frog School only targets the surface of the human body, the 'skeletal muscle series' that are controlled by consciousness, which is the traditional 'muscle'. And it only targets the major muscle groups; small muscles that control blinking are ignored. The same applies to the orc's 'magic root'."

If he were to discuss this topic with the introverted and sensitive Nie Yin, the effect would be far too disastrous. He was afraid that before he could even finish the PUA (Pick-Up Artist) maneuver, he would have already pushed the girl to her breaking point.

So he decided to chat with Snake, whom he knew well: "Aren't there any Ultra Warriors who underwent [Limitless Power Modification] from the very beginning?! I don't believe it!"

The still somewhat naive and innocent-looking snake, despite its artificial intelligence, was completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond for a moment. "Lord, what nonsense are you spouting? Is this something I should be discussing at my age?"
However, she still obediently started browsing the database: "Wait a minute, let me check first!"

At this moment, the AI ​​snake, roughly at a middle school age, began to grow rapidly. "Two months old, I'm already a mature, chatty older sister!"

A strange sense of superiority from growing up overwhelmed her; she felt as if her "artificial intelligence" had been elevated, as if it had been upgraded to version 2.0.

Snake: "Is this what growing up is like? Is this what it feels like to be an adult? I'm so mature!" So, she even changed her virtual model to an 18-year-old white-haired lady.

Looking at the snake tail, who was blushing and upgrading its figure and appearance according to its own preferences (Yuan Zhu's private data) and couldn't help but be vain, Yuan Zhu said impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly change the suit?"

"You bastard, all those changes were for you!"

"Why are you being so effeminate? If you can't learn it, then don't learn it!"

Yuan Zhu was unfamiliar with tea studies, and the snake born from his soul data naturally lacked any talent either. Therefore, their tea-making was exceptionally crafty and uninspired.

Fortunately, the latter quickly switched back: "Found it, there's a relevant record in the database. [Ultimate Warrior] belongs to the magic path within [The Way of Power], or rather, it's not a [The Way of Power] at all. It's an intersection of other [Host Couple Professions] and [Frog School]."

The [Ultimate Warrior (Power System)] is very versatile and can be enchanted by various [Contamination Sources] to gain secondary enhancements; similarly, other [Contamination Systems] often incorporate 'castrated' [Muscle Enhancement] into their own systems.

Just as as long as Yuan Zhu's [Shadow Pollution] doesn't exceed the limit, then the 'Aberrant Tissue' is the stepping stone to support the [Demonized Muscles]; the [Warrior] can also be a stepping stone for other 'professions'.

Yuan Zhu: "I think I've found another strange way to make money?"

Snake: "Big Brother, don't even dream about it! How could this be the first thing you thought of? It was 'invented' hundreds of years ago. And the 'founder' cut off the technology's dissemination channels long ago. [Extreme Sponge Modification] is a [monopolized technique], and it has been removed from [Frog School Basic Modification], making it completely independent and privatized."

Yuan Zhu: "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, although the human body has 639 muscles, the Frog-type Contamination will theoretically 'contaminate and modify' all the muscles in the body and complete the 'synthetic forging' of muscle fibers into a 'two-in-one' structure, breaking the limits of physical strength and power. However, only when the 'ultimate muscle synthesis' is completed can the most basic 'synthetic enhancement' be obtained, keeping it consistent with physical attributes. If the first round of 'muscle merging' is not completed, the upgrade sequence will be defaulted to last place."

"Within the Frog School, or rather, within all the 'modified versions of Ultimate Power' systems, there is an eternal saying: 'Without desire, one is invincible!' If one has no woman in one's heart, physical fitness will naturally become divine. Unless one receives independent 'Ultimate Power' modification services in other institutions, in 'other systems' outside of the 'Power System'."

Yuan Zhu listened, completely dumbfounded. Someone actually managed to monopolize the special 'muscle enhancement' from the [Force Sequence]. Only after [Force] has completely completed a round of synthesis is it eligible for enhancement.

This is unbelievable... I'm speechless. How much money must they be making?! I'm too late; I've traveled through time hundreds of years too late. Such a lucrative business, and someone else has already registered it?!
"Boss, why are you standing there like that? Quickly use Holy Light sterilization and disinfection."

Nie Yin's urging voice came from beside him. Yuan Zhu, with mixed feelings, manipulated the [Uniform], and a pair of tentacle arms stretched out from the shadows beneath his feet. With a forceful 'rip!', the orc's clothes were torn to shreds. He was left with only a pair of boxer shorts to cover his private parts, his chest and back muscles bulging, his body covered with black 'Shadow Pollution' capillaries, and his entire body was covered with whip marks and scars.

He then unleashed [Holy Light] to lightly burn the animal from head to toe. This was no longer like using an 'ultraviolet lamp' to sterilize it; it was more like using a laser to burn the hair off a pig's trotter, stripping away a layer of oily skin. The hybrid orc convulsed in pain.

Seeing that Yuan Zhu had quickly finished processing the test subjects, Nie Yin put on a mask and gloves, and raised the needle: "I'm going to begin. The muscle structure of orcs is different from that of humans, so my [needling technique] may go wrong."

Snake's database contained a copy of Nie Yin's teaching materials from the Frog School, and he quickly found a set of 'intramuscular injection' acupuncture techniques called the 'Great Zhou Tian Star Foundation Building Divine Needle'.

This acupuncture technique combines knowledge of classical medicine (meridians and acupoints) with modern anatomy (muscle tissue structure and distribution). It uses a syringe as its magic weapon and body-tempering fluid as its elixir to perform targeted injections into the body's muscle groups.

Each needle must be carefully controlled in terms of dosage, and the goal is not to inject a large amount. Traditional acupuncture emphasizes stopping at the right point. Taking the biceps brachii as an example, one must consider the distribution structure of the muscle group and the overlap of acupoints. The acupuncture technique progresses from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, with a minimum of 7, 9, or 12 needles, and a maximum of 24, 36, or 49 needles.

Each injection is administered at varying depths, with each needle releasing only a trace amount of "tempering fluid." The principle is to "eat less frequently and more often," using a multi-faceted, three-dimensional approach to strengthen muscle groups, thereby achieving the goal of "unblocking meridians" and constructing abstract rituals such as "arrays" within the muscles.

Nie Yin stepped forward and gently touched the outline of the orc's bulging muscles with the back of her fingers. Referring to the knowledge she had learned in her textbooks, she didn't care whether she could accurately find the 'acupoints' and just went with her senses to insert the needle into the orc's muscles.

With a slight push of her thumb, she swiftly withdrew the needle and, with lightning speed, inserted the second, then the third, and the fourth needle...

Her movements became increasingly rapid, each needle piercing deep into the muscle, yet the delivery of the 'medicine' was only superficial. In Yuan Zhu's view, she managed to prick over a hundred bleeding needle marks on one arm, but the 'tempering fluid' inside the syringe was pushed in less than 10mg.

There's a kind of joy in watching Rong Momo cruelly torment Ziwei. You can also see it from the emotional capture of [Anti-Law]. Nie Yin is gradually transitioning from initial tension and restraint to letting go of himself. With each 'needle technique' landing, he has found his own 'rhythm'.

Although the rhythm may be full of mistakes, it has cultivated confidence.

At the same time, he heard an even more intense croaking of frogs. With each needle Nie Yin inserted, a croaking sound would resound from within the orc's muscles. The faster she inserted the needles, the more intense the croaking of frogs became in the spiritual world, simultaneously forming a connection with the [Frog God Statue]. An invisible 'pollution' erupted out of thin air within the orc's muscles, spreading, eroding, and connecting at the points where the needles had been inserted.

Soon, the muscles under the skin of the 'arm' that had been stabbed began to writhe violently and uncontrollably, looking extremely bizarre.

Nie Yin remained unmoved, discarding the dulled needle and replacing it with a new one. He continued to frantically prick the orc, a pleased smile unconsciously curving his lips, which were hidden by his short hair.
