You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

On the other side, inside Cave 2.

"Cloud-Piercing Spear!"

boom!!!

After battling the Flaming Mane Lion for over a hundred rounds, Su Ming finally seized an opportunity and unleashed a full-force spear thrust into the Flaming Mane Lion's right eye. The Hundred-Forged Spear, with its unparalleled sharpness, pierced most of the spear shaft into the Flaming Mane Lion's head.

"Aww!"

The intense pain caused the Flaming Mane Lion to let out a agonizing roar.

However, before it could struggle, Su Ming's blood and qi erupted, and with a burst of strength from both hands, he directly stirred the Hundred Forged Spear inside the Flaming Mane Lion's head, instantly turning the inside of the Flaming Mane Lion's head into a tangled mess.

The fiery lion, which had been trying to struggle, froze and then fell straight to the ground.

[Defeat the early-stage Tier 3 ferocious beast 'Flaming Mane Lion', +100 enhancement points]

A kill notification popped up on the system panel, and another 100 enhancement points were credited to my account.

Su Ming glanced at the enhancement points that had been credited to his account with satisfaction, and then began to process the materials on the Flaming Mane Lion, packing up all the valuable materials to take away.

After so many days of fighting and gathering, Su Ming had become extremely skilled at collecting materials from ferocious beasts. In less than ten minutes, Su Ming had packed up the materials from the Flaming Mane Lion, and then continued to walk deeper into Cave 2 with his backpack on his back.

After Su Ming continued deeper into Cave 2 for more than ten kilometers, a rich fragrance suddenly wafted to his nose.

Just by taking a single breath, Su Ming felt his blood and qi stirring within him, showing a subtle upward trend.

"Just a wisp of fragrance has subtly increased my energy; the source of this fragrance must be an extraordinary rare and precious herb!"

Upon sensing the benefits this fragrance brought him, a glint of light flashed in Su Ming's eyes. Without hesitation, he quickly rushed towards the direction from which the fragrance was coming.

After traveling about another kilometer, Su Ming arrived at a volcano.

In front of him was a cliff over seventy meters high, almost perpendicular to the ground.

In the center of the cliff, at a height of about 40 meters, grows a blood-red fruit the size of a baby's fist, with three purple leaves growing on its stem.

Su Ming sniffed the incredibly rich fragrance nearby and realized that the fragrance he had sensed earlier was emanating from this crimson fruit.

"The fruit is entirely blood-red, with three purple leaves. Could this be a top-tier fourth-order natural treasure, the Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit?!"

"It's unbelievable that such a top-tier fourth-order natural treasure could grow in this No. 2 cave!"

Looking at the fruit growing on the cliff, Su Ming recalled a picture of the same fruit from a common natural treasures encyclopedia he had seen in the library of No. 1 High School, along with an introduction to the fruit.

Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit, a top-tier fourth-order resource, can greatly enhance a martial artist's qi and blood when consumed!

Recalling the description of the fruit, Su Ming looked at the three-leaf purple blood fruit on the cliff in front of him, and the light in his eyes was so bright that it seemed to be real.

Without any hesitation, he immediately hurled his hundred-forged spear toward the cliff face ahead.

call out!

Clang!

The hundred-forged spear pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound and plunged into the center of the cliff 15 meters away. The spearhead was completely embedded in the hard stone wall, and the shaft vibrated continuously.

Seeing this, Su Ming put down his backpack, pushed off with his legs, took a few steps forward, and then stomped down hard, creating a crater in the ground beneath his feet. His figure shot towards the cliff like a cannonball.

With a powerful leap, Su Ming landed heavily on the Hundred-Forged Spear he had previously stuck into the cliff face. The spear shaft was sculpted into an astonishing arc by his weight, then bounced back, propelling Su Ming upwards once more, right to the location of the Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit.

"Got it!"

Su Ming was overjoyed as he plucked the purple blood fruit.

As his body plummeted downwards, he grabbed the hundred-forged spear stuck in the cliff face, exerted a sudden burst of strength, and pulled the spear out, landing steadily with it.

But as soon as Su Ming landed and looked at the three-leaf purple blood fruit he had just picked, he discovered that the stems and leaves on the fruit were withering rapidly, and it looked like the withering was about to spread to the blood-red fruit in Su Ming's hand.

"Oh no, I forgot that the Purple Blood Fruit needs to be stored in a special jade container, otherwise its medicinal properties will quickly dissipate after it's picked!"

"We can't worry about that now. This is a resource worth tens of millions; we can't waste it!"

Seeing this, Su Ming frowned, realizing something was wrong. But the next second, his face hardened, and he stuffed the blood-red fruit along with the three purple leaves into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it.

boom!!!

As Su Ming swallowed the Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit, a burst of intense heat erupted from his abdomen. This energy was extremely turbulent and violent. Almost instantly, Su Ming's face turned crimson, his entire body turned red, and even the pores of his skin began to ooze blood.

"This energy is terrifying! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to explode! I have to find a way to refine this energy!"

Feeling the scorching energy erupting within his body, Su Ming dared not delay. Ignoring the fact that he was still deep within Cave 2, facing the threat of ferocious beasts, he immediately began cultivating the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique on the spot.

One difficult move after another kept changing, and every cell in Su Ming's body was frantically absorbing the scorching energy bursting from the Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit.

Su Ming also manifested a golden body due to his full-fledged cultivation of the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique, and his skin turned golden as well. However, even so, blood still seeped out from his golden skin.

Clearly, with Su Ming's current physique, even with a perfected A-level body tempering technique, it would be difficult for him to quickly absorb the energy released by the top-tier fourth-order Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit if he forcibly consumed it.

"Damn, I was careless!"

Feeling the increasingly violent energy within his body and the ever-increasing swelling sensation emanating from his body, Su Ming's back was soaked with cold sweat. If this continued, he would surely burst.

hum! ! !

Just as Su Ming was about to be overwhelmed by the scorching energy of the Three-Leaf Purple Blood Fruit, the ice crystal crown in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled, and then waves of cold air surged into Su Ming's body, suppressing the momentum of the scorching energy in his body that was constantly expanding and exploding.

After noticing the changes within his body, Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and then focused intently on practicing the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique over and over again.

Under the suppression of this cold air, the scorching energy within Su Ming's body remained at the limit that his body could withstand, and was continuously absorbed by Su Ming.
