Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 179 A New Qualitative Change
"Holy crap, holy crap..." Zhang Heng yelled, quickly imitating the veterans and calling for the main god to repair. A beam of light landed on him, and a few seconds later, the frost on his hands dissipated, and his severe frostbite was healed, but he dared not make any more moves.

Zhang Heng looked at the mask in his hand with lingering fear: "This thing is really eerie. As soon as I got it, I had an urge to put it on..."

This proves that the fly really did smell the dung...

"You're too much! Just now, your blowing almost forced me to unlock my genetic potential..." Zhang Heng said with some complaint. "What do we do now? This was your idea."

Mu Xiang's lips twitched. Zhang Heng was still trying to play the victim? Just now, when he raised his hand, Mu Xiang was terrified. He didn't even want to think about the consequences if the mask's power were to be unleashed in front of everyone.

"Hang it on your waist." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "I told you to use it when you need it."

Even if Zhang Heng nodded at this point, Mu Xiang knew that there would definitely be all sorts of unexpected things that would make Zhang Heng wear it... Now Zhang Heng has officially become a walking comedic meme.

Alas, meme body.

Under the bewildered gazes of the others and the tense watchful eyes of Mu Xiang, Zhang Heng hung the mask on his belt and then shrugged to indicate that he was done.

So everyone turned their attention to Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, as they were the strongest and had the highest exchange levels. To cover for the others, they were the last to exchange.

Zheng Zha stepped forward somewhat helplessly. Actually, he really wanted to exchange for a weapon... but after the battle in "The Terrifying Black Hole," he gained two more A-level side quests. Therefore, after considering everything, directly advancing to the double A-level vampire prince bloodline was actually the best option.

In Mu Xiang's words, he was stuck in a rut, unable to go up or down. Although Zheng Zha still had a B-level side quest, it had already proven useful.

But Zheng Zha himself found it a bit troublesome... There were too many advancements in the vampire bloodline, from D-level vampire baron to S-level vampire emperor. Each advancement was more or less the same, and it didn't give Zheng Zha any sense of novelty.

However, Mu Xiang strongly recommended that Zheng Zha exchange for the bloodline of the vampire prince: "Don't you feel that you haven't touched the spiritual and soul level yet? Perhaps you will gain some inspiration after advancing."

With the deduction of two A-level side quests and 12,000 reward points, Zheng Zha was enveloped by a pillar of light.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "This guy is still reluctant... Hasn't he noticed that the higher the level of the vampire bloodline, the stronger the enhancement to appearance?"

“Oh… I knew he was so…” Zhang Heng said, but then, noticing Loli’s unfriendly gaze, he changed his words to, “So handsome.”

As countless points of light poured into the pillar, a dark red expanse suddenly spread across the sky. From below, the crimson flames that suddenly erupted from Zheng Zha's body resembled a red cloud. However, this seemed to be the result of the vampire energy being modified, as no heat was leaking out. In fact, all the crimson flames were imprisoned within the pillar of light of the main god.

At the same time, Zheng Zha's bat wings, which had evolved several times, opened in the air. Not everyone present knew about the changes he had undergone after absorbing high-level essence blood, and many people exclaimed in surprise.

When Zheng Zha first displayed his bat wings, they were simply black, fleshy wings, and their size seemed somewhat incongruous. But now, even disregarding the dragon scales and proliferating bone spurs, the size and shape of his bat wings are vastly different from before.

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses; with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see a dark red aura rising from Zheng Zha's body. He had seen this aura before, of course, but during his training after *Ju-on*, it was nowhere near as refined as it was now. Zheng Zha had fought several battles in *The Trembling Black Hole*, and had made further progress…

Seeing the abilities from the high-level blood essence manifest one by one, Mu Xiang guessed that when the main god upgraded his bloodline, he also activated all the characteristics he had previously discovered. It seems that during the bloodline upgrade process, the abilities Zheng Zha originally absorbed will also evolve.

After all, a double-A-rank vampire prince has a significant advantage over a vampire marquis in absorbing the power of others. Zheng Zha's success with high-level essence blood was primarily due to his exceptional talent; he was able to truly absorb the essence. For others without double-A-rank or higher vampire bloodlines, achieving such results would be impossible.

As he was pondering, Mu Xiang suddenly heard the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix in the air, as well as other sounds that he couldn't understand... It seemed that only he could sense this, while the others were still watching and chatting.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, Zheng Zha's enhancement process ended. As soon as he landed, he anxiously looked at Mu Xiang: "I sensed it! There's still a lot of unabsorbed stuff in that essence blood!"

"Damn it, I had no idea about any of this before!" Zheng Zha was both surprised and delighted, and seemed to be furious at the same time.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "So what is this?"

"do not know."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, but Zheng Zha's expression was very serious, as if he didn't understand now but would understand soon, and that even if he told you, you wouldn't understand.

Mu Xiang speculated that when the vampire prince was absorbing blood, he should have been able to touch the soul level... and Zheng Zha had just been troubled by this before, so this was like a godsend. The things that were missed before were probably information that could not be perceived from the physical level alone.

Zheng Zha said impatiently, "Do you have any questions? If not, hurry up and exchange yours, then let's train!"

Mu Xiang looked at him with a half-smile: "You seemed rather uninterested before? Your vampire energy must have made another leap in both quality and quantity, right?"

Zheng Zha nodded: "That's right... but I don't think that's the key anymore. From an energy perspective alone, without resorting to any life-or-death tactics, the energy of A-level vampires won't have a chance to run out. The real improvement doesn't seem to lie in quantity... it seems that the current vampire energy has some additional characteristics compared to before."

Mu Xiang nodded slightly: "In that case, it should be helpful in resolving your predicament. By the way, how is your self-healing ability?"

Zheng Zha's expression was somewhat strange: "They said that as long as the blood core is not destroyed, it can keep recovering... But from my perspective, as long as I want, the blood core can be directly... uh, refined? In other words, this weakness no longer exists."

You're being too conservative... We'll see how it goes when we test it on you.

Mu Xiang smiled inwardly with a hint of malice, then walked to the area below the main god: "Now, it's time for my exchange... First up is an A-grade weapon."

After paying the price of an A-level side quest and 10,000 reward points, a beam of light descended in front of Mu Xiang. When the light dissipated, a slender, light-colored longsword was stuck in front of him.
