Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 35 Superb Drug Efficacy
Back in his dorm, Gao Wu took a hot shower first. He wasn't particularly afraid of the cold, but he felt uncomfortable being all wet.

After changing into clean pajamas, Gao Wu sat on the bed and took out the flying squirrel potion.

Since the dormitory wasn't very safe, he took a flying squirrel poison and a neutralizing agent.

According to the old man, truly wealthy people use specially customized solutions based on their own genes. Clearly, Song Mingyue doesn't have that kind of financial means, so the standard neutralizing agent she uses will be less effective.

Gao Wu did not intend to use the neutralizing agent. Song Mingyue made it very clear that while the neutralizing agent reduces the harm of the drug to the body, it also reduces the drug's efficacy.

With the Book of Immeasurable Merit, one can subtly observe one's own state; with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, one can cleanse one's body and mind; and with a single dose of Flying Squirrel Potion, one can make accurate tests.

If the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra cannot remove the negative effects of the potion, it is not too late to use the neutralizing agent.

Just like the first injection of the Blood Dragon Agent, Gao Wu first injected two milliliters of Flying Squirrel Agent.

Intramuscular injection is extremely effective. In less than a minute, Gao Wu felt a tingling, indescribably comfortable sensation at the injection site, and this feeling was spreading rapidly.

In no time, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

It's hard to describe the feeling; it's like when your body is itchy, someone vigorously scratches the itchy area for you. It seems a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, it feels incredibly comfortable and pleasant...

The key is that this feeling penetrates deep into the bone marrow, internal organs, and even the skull.

After the intense pleasure and joy, Gao Wu felt light as if he were floating on clouds. The world seemed to disappear, and only he, his body and spirit, and the endless joy and pleasure truly existed!

After a while, Gao Wu finally came to his senses.

His eyes immediately fell on the syringe in his hand, and he felt a strong urge to immediately inject the remaining eight milliliters of medicine. He didn't want to wait even a second longer.

However, he rationally suppressed his instinctive impulse, as such a strong impulse was clearly abnormal.

Gao Wu did not open the Book of Boundless Merit; instead, he silently recited the incantation: "Azure dragon soars to the heavens, its energy emerges from the east. With ten thousand scales forming armor, its lifespan is boundless..."

The azure spiritual light transformed into an azure dragon, which then roamed and danced within Gao Wu's body.

After reciting the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra ten times, Gao Wu calmed down completely and got rid of the huge emptiness that followed the intense pleasure.

Summoning the Book of Immeasurable Merit, Gao Wu discovered that his lifespan had been reduced by a full seven days. This was only for a two-milliliter dose, even after he had recited the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra ten times. Yet, this was still the result!
For an ordinary person, one dose of flying squirrel poison would probably shorten their lifespan by two or three years.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse didn't work? Gao Wu found it unbelievable. To be honest, this was a nerve-related drug meant for martial artists, so how could it be so overpowering?

Or is it that his Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse is not powerful enough to cleanse the side effects of the potion on his nerves?

After considering it for a while, Gao Wu gritted his teeth and injected the remaining eight milliliters of medicine into his body.

Since things have come to this, he wants to see just how harmful the flying squirrel drug is! With his lifespan of 130 years, he can afford to lose a few years.

Soon, that tingling, pleasurable sensation surged up like a tide, several times stronger than the first time.

When Gao Wu returned to reality from the clouds, he felt an immense emptiness, as if life had no meaning at all!

At this moment, only by injecting the flying squirrel drug again can there be any meaning in living.

Fortunately, Gao Wu was still able to maintain basic rationality. He knew that various hormones were having a severe impact on his brain, affecting not only his six senses but also his ability to think.

Essentially, humans are organisms governed by various hormones.

So-called advanced intellectual thinking originates from the brain's neural tissue. It has been proven that brain neural tissue is highly susceptible to the influence of various hormones.

It is said that only those at the Martial King level can basically break free from the limitations of the physical body and maintain the independence and stability of their mental will.

Gao Wu silently recited the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra dozens of times, finally adjusting his mental state and restoring a long and calm state.

Looking at the Book of Immeasurable Merit again, his lifespan was reduced by 119 days.

Based on this ratio, ten doses of flying squirrel serum would consume three years of his lifespan. That's no problem for him at all.

In less than two years, his Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra will be able to upgrade again. At that time, he should be able to make up for the lost lifespan. Judging from the current situation, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra can also suppress the intense emptiness brought about by the Flying Squirrel Potion and effectively inhibit addiction.

For him, addiction was the most terrifying thing. Losing a few years of life was not a big problem.

Gao Wu suddenly felt an intense hunger, so much so that he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if his stomach was gaping open and frantically devouring his body...

Fortunately, Song Mingyue had prepared a high-grade ginseng oral liquid for him, and Gao Wu opened the bottle and took it in one gulp.

As 100 milliliters of the medicine flowed into the stomach, the intense hunger was immediately suppressed, and the various physical ailments quickly disappeared.

Before long, Gao Wu felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, which was very comfortable and relaxing.

He let out a satisfied sigh, then sighed again. Even something as simple as an injection involves many intricacies and requires extremely high levels of resources.

He lacked talent, but possessed a divine artifact. He was also lucky, finding himself being kept by a rich and beautiful woman!

Song Mingyue is good in every way, except for her cold personality. She'd be the best of friends, but a wife would be far too boring!
If Song Mingyue really wanted to be with him, it wouldn't be impossible; after all, she had delicate features and long legs...

After thinking about random things for a while, Gao Wu got up and practiced the Nine Forms of the Dragon twice, and then practiced the Swimming Dragon Sword once.

The dormitory was cramped, so one had to be extra careful when practicing swordsmanship. Gao Wu had just been injected with the drug, and his movements were a bit unsteady, so he barely managed to practice once before sheathing his sword.

He practiced swordsmanship late at night mainly because he really liked the sword.

In front of Song Mingyue, Gao Wu still had to maintain a certain level of reserve. But in the dormitory, Gao Wu had no such inhibitions; he caressed the sword with obvious affection.

When I went to sleep, I would place the sword next to my pillow and hold it as I fell asleep...

When Gao Wu woke up the next morning, he felt refreshed and clear-headed.

He made rapid progress in the Nine Forms of the Dragon, and the method of falling asleep using the Hidden Dragon technique became increasingly effective.

Without the appropriate testing equipment, Gao Wu wasn't sure if he had entered a deep sleep. Every time he woke up after a long sleep, he felt refreshed and full of vitality.

Whether it was deep sleep or not, it shows that his sleep quality was very high, allowing his body and mind to get sufficient rest.

Upon opening the Book of Boundless Merit, Agility noticeably increased by 0.1 points, reaching 7.9.

Proportionally, his reaction and explosiveness improved by 5%, but it was difficult to perceive any significant difference from the perspectives of senses and physical reaction.

It only took one night to increase by 0.1 points! The drug's effects are really fast and strong!

Looking at lifespan again, it decreased by another ten days. Clearly, as the medication took effect, the negative effects on the body also increased.

Gao Wu pondered for a while before putting on his weighted suit. Because of his rapid increase in strength, he replaced his weighted suit with two thick steel plates that hugged his body's curves, making it somewhat like a large bulletproof vest. The total weight reached 140 kilograms.

Wearing the special high-elasticity sword sheath over the shoulder adds another 30 kilograms to the weight.

Wearing his action camera and grabbing his drone case, Gao Wu quickly left his dormitory. Once outside the school, Gao Wu sped up, reaching Bailong Mountain in just half an hour.

As the weather gets colder, fewer and fewer teenagers come to the mountain to practice martial arts.

Martial artists possess strong and resilient bodies, but the high-intensity training also puts immense pressure on them. Even if young people aren't afraid of the cold, they should still take care of their bodies and avoid unnecessary strain.

Only Gao Wu, relying on his superior physique, dared to recklessly use extremely high-intensity training, completely disregarding the adverse weather conditions.

Standing atop the mountain, overlooking the great city below and gazing at the endless, overlapping distant mountains, Gao Wu felt a surge of heroic spirit, yet he always felt something was missing, and this heroic spirit had nowhere to be released…

Over the next few days, Gao Wu entered a fixed routine: training, injecting flying squirrel serum, training...

On the weekend match day, against a weak team, Gao Wu did not get a chance to play. He didn't seem to mind.

The flying squirrel serum was rapidly enhancing his nerve reflexes and explosive muscle power; his strength was improving rapidly every day. He had no interest in fighting weaklings.

He's just waiting for the home game against No. 1 Middle School next Sunday. He wants to see just how capable Han Yang, a student from Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School, really is!
