Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 119 Ability Development

For the next month, the two of them wandered around aimlessly.

Zheng Zha only needed to wait for the essence blood to be completely absorbed, so he had nothing to do. And because most of the world's forces were involved in the follow-up work of the Polar Day invasion, under such a sensitive situation, Mu Xiang couldn't directly chase the sun all over the world.

So he indulged himself a little, treating it as a trip with Zheng Zha.

The funny thing is, Zheng Zha has been talking about going to Kabukicho for the past month, but he hasn't actually set foot there once. I don't know if he's genuinely being disciplined or if he's afraid Mu Xiang will complain or something.

During this month, Mu Xiang also adapted well to his strength and made better adjustments to his mindset.

“We can already be considered legendary-level combatants,” Mu Xiang said, eating the sushi Zheng Zha had bought for him that day.

Zheng Zha nodded perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yes..." He had heard this many times, but he had no concept of what a legendary level was.

Mu Xiang sighed: "I don't know if you've touched the third-tier gene lock. The third-tier gene lock is another qualitative change... Although it seems to be just brain development, the improvement in strength is much stronger than the first and second tiers combined... If you reach the fourth tier, it's an even bigger leap. The so-called legendary level, when compared across systems, can be put on par with the initial stage of the fourth-tier gene lock."

Zheng Zha, holding sushi in both hands, wanted to scratch his head upon hearing this. Realizing something was wrong, he stuffed a piece of sushi into his mouth, and then a cluster of red flames erupted from his hand. After the red flames cleaned his hand, he scratched his head and mumbled, "Is this the result of your and Chu Xuan's research, or...?"

Mu Xiang certainly couldn't say he learned it from a novel... This kind of question would inevitably be attributed to the Polar Day Society.

Now that we've had our meal, it's time to get ready to head back.

After Zheng Zha finished his meal, he stretched and then closed his eyes to sense it: "That dragon blood essence is indeed extraordinary... I thought it wasn't fully digested yet, but now it seems that with my current bloodline, I can only digest it to this extent."

"There's still some residual alien blood essence energy?" Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "Luckily, everything else is fine, otherwise you'd become the vampire Linghu Chong."

Zheng Zha, however, didn't seem to care: "I just want to digest it more thoroughly, since it will be of great benefit to me... In fact, even if this energy erupts, it won't be a big deal for me..."

Mu Xiang smiled and nodded upon hearing this, which was indeed the truth... With Zheng Zha's current self-healing ability, even if a bomb exploded in his stomach, it wouldn't be able to damage his blood core.

Mu Xiang stood up and said, "Then when you get back, try again to see if the main god can fix this. If it can't be fixed, it means it wasn't considered harmful... We'll deal with it slowly."

"By the way, have you awakened any new superpowers in the past few days?" Zheng Zha asked.

Mu Xiang shook his head: "No... I haven't been actively sunbathing these past few days. Instead, I've spent time controlling my senses. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem for me."

"What's bothering you... When you're chatting with a girl, can't you tell if she's interested in you just by listening to her heartbeat?" Zheng Zha said with a sly smile, but then his expression changed. "Wait, you can't hear what's going on in other rooms, can you?"

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Mu Xiang was amused and exasperated: "First of all, the soundproofing of the main god's room is impeccable... Secondly, I don't have that kind of fetish."

Then he looked out the window: "As for the others, their telescopic abilities haven't improved significantly, probably because they haven't developed that kind of superpower; it's just a pure enhancement of their physical attributes... They don't have microscopic vision yet either. As for X-ray vision, at present, they can only see through the inside of the human body."

“Damn… this is a really weird ability.” Zheng Zha cursed. Mu Xiang rolled his eyes at him: “There are no weird abilities, only weird users… To be honest, even if you have some kind of fetish, you’ll get tired of this ability immediately. It was too troublesome for me when it first awakened. For those two days, you were like a naked person running around in front of me. For the next few days, all I could see was a skeleton messing around with me.”

Then he touched his face: "As for the disguise ability that we've been looking forward to... it's nothing special. Right now, it can only hypnotize ordinary people, and it only makes them unrecognizable, not actually change their appearance at will."

“That’s true, but your abilities are quite comprehensive… I’m also an A-level exchanger, so I don’t have this many talent abilities,” Zheng Zha said. “It’s normal for the God to break these abilities down and sell them to you. I originally thought you were just a strong person.”

Mu Xiang sighed: "You're just used to being slaughtered by the main god. And those derivative abilities you gained from absorbing high-level blood essence are also a huge advantage... I think that can be considered a self-created skill."

Zheng Zha chuckled, and his even wider wings suddenly unfurled. Luckily, he wasn't wearing a shirt in the room, otherwise he would have ruined another piece of clothing.

The skeletal structure of his wings on his back was more exposed, and the original black fleshy wings were torn apart, turning into a strange dark red. Upon closer inspection, some scale-like structures could also be seen.

Then Zheng Zha stretched out his hand. Without Zheng Zha reminding him, Mu Xiang saw that his arm swelled slightly and had some dark red lines appearing. Something slowly emerged from Zheng Zha's body, like blood and fire, and finally transformed into a dark red aura surrounding his arm.

Mu Xiang stared into deep thought: Is this the ability of the Asura race? The battle aura unique to the Asura race?
[That's right. Battle Qi is ultimately a product of physical cultivation. If Zheng Zha possessed the physical characteristics of the Asura race, it wouldn't be surprising if he could condense some Asura Battle Qi.]

[Furthermore, this shouldn't conflict with vampire energy...]

Zheng Zha, however, dismissed the energy with a wave of his hand, and the aura vanished, his arm returning to normal. "The Asura blood essence only slightly improved my physique... the rest is barely noticeable. Especially this, it feels pretty useless. How can it compare to Red Flame? I guess you get what you pay for..."

Mu Xiang gave a wry smile. Zheng Zha truly had no idea how much he had benefited from. The vampires' ability to absorb essence was indeed formidable, but in the Primordial Era, could vampires even taste the blood of any higher races? If they dared to covet the Dragon or Phoenix races, they'd probably have even desecrated the grave of your blood ancestor, Cain.

Judging from Zheng Zha's current diet, even the ancestor of the vampires probably hasn't eaten anything this good.

"Uh, let me check my things first..." Zheng Zha put away all the things that had popped out of his body, and then wandered around the room a few times.

Mu Xiang said helplessly, "It's just a few pieces of clothing left, you've put them all in your ring."

"That's right!" Zheng Zha slapped his forehead, then checked the ring. "They're all inside."

Mu Xiang shook his head: "Does the Supreme God need more clothes?"

Zheng Zha smiled confidently and said, "That's because you don't understand... The Supreme God doesn't just give you any clothes, and Li'er can't just imagine any style. I'll just buy her some this time. Oh, it's not surprising that you don't usually care about clothing."

Mu Xiang shrugged and, after checking out of the hotel, he and Zheng Zha quickly headed back to where they had come from.

Zheng Zha's journey can be said to be over, but Mu Xiang will come back and stay for another five years... After five years, even he himself cannot predict what level his body and abilities will reach.
