Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 25: Promotion to Fighting Scholar

The potion entered his mouth like a piece of cold jelly entering his stomach. A second or two later, Odysseus suddenly felt as if he was hit by a speeding train.

My whole body felt like it was falling apart, and every inch of my skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Immediately afterwards, my head started buzzing, I had severe tinnitus, and everything went dark before my eyes. I couldn't see anything.

Odysseus tried hard to concentrate and finally did not faint due to the severe pain and tinnitus.

He felt as if giant hands were kneading his muscles, tearing them off from his bones, gathering them in one place, and then relaxing them again.

This kept happening over and over again, and Odysseus felt his whole body was numb with pain.

He tried hard to fight the pain and tried not to lose consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, the blackness in front of Odysseus's eyes was no longer visible and he finally regained some of his vision.

He vaguely saw that the muscles on his entire arm were really twisted together by an invisible force, forming a terrifying spiral shape. Soon, the muscles spread out again.

Then, it is screwed together again.

That was not an illusion, the potion was actually tearing his body apart, reshaping his muscles, bones and blood vessels!
At this time, a piercing pain came over my head, and gradually the later ones took over.

Odysseus felt his vision was distorted by the pain in his head. The ground, the test bench, the ceiling, the beaker, the measuring cylinder, none of them were not spinning rapidly!
Dizziness and pain ravaged Odysseus's spirit, making him feel as if he was in a storm and could collapse at any time.

Fortunately, he digested the magic potion of "Mystery Peeping Man" very well, and he usually used "meditation" to train his spirit. After passing a certain stage, the severe dizziness and pain quickly subsided.

The buzzing sound in his ears also disappeared. Suddenly, a strange and cold voice drilled into his ears: "...Universe...pile up...jumping...knowledge...Kanal...endless..."

Most of the speech was mumbled, and only a few words could be understood occasionally.

Those unclear parts were like the roar of a wild beast, which frightened Odysseus; or like nails scratching on thin iron plates, making sharp noises, which made him extremely irritated; or like harmful ultrasound waves, which made him dizzy.

Fortunately, this sound came and went quickly.

But it was enough to make the veins on Odysseus' forehead bulge, and he fell into the chair with a pale face, retching for a long time.

After a minute or two, Odysseus began to breathe heavily and leaned back in his chair to rest.

It's like the feeling of a hangover, with weakness all over the body and a splitting headache.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The entire promotion process actually only took about three minutes, and the pain before was less than two minutes, but he felt like a whole century had passed!
The discomfort that followed was entirely due to the voice of the "Hidden Sage" after the promotion was completed!

Having just been promoted, his spirituality was already very unstable, and the two shouts of the "Hidden Sage" made this instability even worse, and he almost showed signs of losing control.

How deceptive!

Odysseus sighed: What is more deceptive than the existence of a true god in this path is that the only god in this path is an evil god!
Then he discovered that he had just been promoted to the "Combat Scholar" potion and had already digested half of it.

This made him feel relatively relaxed and less tense, so the discomfort all over his body quickly disappeared.

After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus understood: What I had digested in advance was the "scholar" part of "fighting scholar"!

His research every Sunday in the "wilderness of knowledge" and his experiments in the real world are like a scholar studying the occult!

Over the past three years, Odysseus has been conducting various research in the "wilderness of knowledge" in his sleep for a total of about twenty years.

Add to that the three years of real-world research, and that's a total of twenty-three years! Almost as long as his age. Crucially, there were also substantial results, so he was sure to digest some of the potion earlier.

Then, Odysseus realized that digesting the "Combat Scholar" potion required separating "Combat" from "Scholar." The focus couldn't always be on "Combat," as the potion's name was "Combat Scholar," not "Combatist."

Obviously, "fighting" is a guarantee or way for "scholars" to do research.

Of course, studying "fighting" can also be one of the studies that "scholars" use to understand the world.

Thinking of this, Odysseus suddenly smiled, feeling that "I'm not afraid of gangsters knowing martial arts, but I'm afraid of gangsters having culture."

Then, while he was gathering his spirituality, he felt the changes in his abilities and himself.

First of all, Odysseus felt that his own strength was very "precise", which was a wonderful feeling. For example, before, if Odysseus wanted to put a medicine jar high up, he must use a ladder to put it up.

But now, he felt like he could just throw it right up there! And it would definitely land exactly where he wanted it.

The reason for this performance is that Odysseus already has superb fighting skills, which seem to be innate and imprinted in Odysseus' mind since birth.

The "Combat Scholar" potion also reshaped Odysseus's body, allowing him to use all these skills.

However, it also requires a certain amount of practice to fully integrate the skills with oneself and accumulate practical experience to become a qualified fighter!
Odysseus had already made plans. He planned to join the fighting club and practice fighting with the members of the club.

Another change is that a lot of mystical knowledge appeared in Odysseus's mind. This mystical knowledge allowed him to perform some more advanced ritual magic.

In fact, when he becomes a "secret peeper", his extremely high spirituality allows him to perform some magic and witchcraft with the help of rituals or formations.

But at that time, all the knowledge had to be learned and explored by myself.

But now it is different. After his promotion, Odysseus has some knowledge of mysticism, which allows him to cast magic such as "healing" through rituals, and draw magic circles such as "defense circle" by pouring spiritual energy into it.

Another huge change is that Odysseus clearly feels that his thinking has become more agile. He realizes that a problem that originally took him three hours to think about can now be completed in one hour.

Moreover, their ability to learn and understand knowledge is three times higher than before.

If the potion is completely digested, it will even reach five times the level of Sequence 9!
Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief: The promotion will also be helpful to my research.

He really didn't want to move at this point, so he spent the night in the lounge and the laboratory.

……

In the abandoned West Balam shipyard in the Backlund dock area.

Klein was lying in ambush in front of an overgrown warehouse when he saw three figures approaching at an extremely fast speed.

The one running in the front was Maric, who was responsible for attracting the enemy here. At this time, his speed was faster than a steam train.

Behind them are their enemies, the "zombie" Jason and the "werewolf" Tyr.

Arriving at the center of the abandoned dock, Maric turned around abruptly, raised the "Flame Arrow" and fired six shots at the enemy behind him.
