I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Just as this fusion was completed, Ivan suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.

Then he arrived at that pitch-black space, where the sun in the sky had already fallen to the ground.

Then, under Ivan's gaze, he saw the sun being rapidly eroded by darkness, with countless twisted and frenzied dark lines gnawing at it.

The sun remained unmoved by the devouring, and its previously golden form was quickly covered in black.

Immediately afterwards, the round sun, unable to move, suddenly sprouted a pair of incredibly strange wings from its sides.

Evan could see the wings, but he couldn't describe the visual and tactile sensation they gave him. He only knew that they were a pair of wings, but he couldn't describe what they looked like.

It was an existence that transcended the boundaries of human cognition; whenever he tried to gaze upon its form, his mind would instinctively begin to retreat and feel dizzy.

After the black sun grew wings, defects appeared on both sides, turning it into the bottle-shaped shape on its wings.

As the distorted sun flapped its wings, Ivan felt the entire world was engulfed in apocalypse.

Countless shadows accompanied the wings, forming one terrifying tornado after another.

And these tornadoes eventually swept towards him.

The aura of this tornado was filled with countless sharp and blasphemous things.

Just like the sharpest existence and the most vicious insults in the world are concentrated in it.

In an instant, Ivan felt his mind was on the verge of collapse, about to be torn apart by these tornadoes.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and the fog of encephalopathy instantly clouded Ivan's mind.

The feeling of despair and insignificance I had just experienced in the face of the terrifying storm instantly transformed into a scene of myself calmly watching the storm from inside a sturdy bunker.

No matter how the storms assaulted him, Ivan's spirit stood there, shrouded in a layer of mist like oil, unmoved!

These storms persist, relentlessly tearing at Evan's spirit.

However, the layer of mist was as solid as a rock, and the first tornado quickly shattered, followed by the second, the third...

Time passed, and eventually all the tornadoes dissipated.

The winged sun that danced in the sky, with a clang, transformed into a thick, twisted black mist, which seeped through the fog and entered Ivan's body.

"Sigh~"

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and despair, like a sigh from the other side of the ancient river of time, resounded in Ivan's mind.

"So... what exactly is the purpose of my flight!?"

The voice was neither male nor female; all that could be heard was endless weariness, endless helplessness, and endless confusion.

The voice kept echoing in Evan's mind, as if it were asking him a question.

Faced with this seemingly profound topic brimming with endless philosophical thought, Ivan offered his own answer: "What's it to me!"

After hearing Ivan's answer...

With a snap, it seemed as if something broke.

When Evan opened his eyes again, he found himself back home.

I glanced at the pocket watch in my hand; just five minutes had passed.

At this moment, Huang Jin, who was lying on the bed, tilted his head and looked at himself curiously.

"You chicken~!"

I folded my wings and sat down, listening to the creaking of the spring mattress as I sat down, and stroked the soft little head of the golden bird...

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that he was back in reality.

"I have to say, these Black Sun Wings are truly a supernatural property that Dick risked his life to obtain."

"This thing definitely holds a huge secret, but I couldn't recognize who just spoke!"

Ivan's eyes were filled with amazement and curiosity.

"Leaving aside the incredible effects, the percentage of people who survived the trial just completed with their extraordinary abilities is probably less than 1%!"

Ivan has now activated many extraordinary traits, but when the full version of extraordinary traits was activated, he suffered almost no direct damage.

Those powerful beings may have glanced at him, but only for a moment, without directly harming or intervening.

But just now it was different. He could clearly feel the madness and malice within those countless tornadoes, as if they wanted to completely tear his soul and will apart.

A single tornado is not something a normal expert-level superhuman could handle.

There were at least ten tornadoes just now!

Without the protection of the fog brain plague, even if one could survive with strong mental strength, one's spirituality would likely suffer severe damage.

After a sigh, Ivan carefully felt the changes in his body.

The most direct consequence is that the body's energy consumption becomes more intense.

In addition, Ivan felt an indescribable sense of security.

This sense of security is like a normal person wearing two layers of armor.

Even if you suffer a fatal attack, you only need to remove the outer layer of armor.

This is the full resilience that the Black Sun Wings granted him, and the two wings that gave him two extra lives.

Besides this sense of security, Evan also felt the magic that Dick had described.

After the Black Sun Wings were fully unlocked, Ivan could clearly feel the three complete traits he now possessed, and instinctively moved closer to the Black Sun Wings.

Copper Plague, Cain's Blood Thirst, and Fog Brain Plague—these three forces were previously completely unrelated!

At this point, using the Wings of the Black Sun as a medium, there's no need for Ivan to take the Fusion Potion or undergo tempering in the Dream Realm...

They are like magnets, drawn together by each other.

During this process, he vaguely felt a window opening above his head, whereas previously his head had been completely blocked.

Now he can peer into a higher level through this small crack.

"Awesome!"

At this moment, Ivan felt that although he had not yet reached the level of a master, he had already taken a step forward in his life.

Although it hasn't reached that true level yet, it has already far surpassed the status of an expert!

As he pondered, he stood up and spread his Black Sun Wings, which had a wingspan of over twelve meters, making his small home too small to contain them.

The wings became much larger and their shape more ferocious.

The claws that used to have five fingers have now evolved into ten fingers, and the black feathers covering them are now much thicker.

"The first stage is fifty kilometers, the second stage has reached one hundred kilometers, and the third stage will conservatively be able to fly at one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour!"

"While the speed of combat isn't particularly fast, rapid movement between nearby cities is still possible under the current circumstances!"

"There's hardly any conventional mode of transportation that can outrun me now!"

"No, it should be that none of them can fly as fast as me!"

Ivan had read in the newspaper that last year's test version of the aircraft could barely break the 70 km/h mark.

At that speed, you can't even see your own backside!

After checking his own attributes, Ivan looked at his current attribute panel.

Basic panel:

[Occupation: Witcher]

[Rank: Expert]

【Traits: Cain Thirst; Copper Plague; Mist Brain Plague; Black Sun Wings; Starburst's Bite (41%); Superior Flame (20%)】

[Dark Wind: At night, the Wings of the Black Sun can transform into an invisible and formless black wind.]

After looking at the impressive attribute panel, Ivan nodded in satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, the current maximum physical stat for experts is only 20; no matter how much they eat, there's no way to increase it further!"

He had reached a physique of 20 points about two months ago, so Evan wasn't surprised by this.

The hierarchy of superhumans in this world is quite strict. Due to the spiritual vision system, high-level superhumans absolutely crush low-level superhumans.

Every promotion is a sublimation of life.

But right now, as an expert, my physical body can only reach this level at most!

If you want to improve further, you'll have to wait until you break through to the Master level.

Aside from the physical stats, there are many other changes over the months.

First, Evan's recent continuous use of potions, coupled with the reversal of the side effects of previous potion injections and burrowing worms, caused his blood toxicity to skyrocket.

We've reached 2500 now, and once we reach 5000, we'll be able to unlock new talents!

Besides that, I've been taking purification potions and energy potions recently.

Ivan originally took these two medications to enhance his mental strength and affinity with the sun.

After all, each time the 6% lunar affinity is absorbed during purification, it results in a 6% solar affinity.

After taking the potion repeatedly, Evan discovered something interesting.

Firstly, once the resistance to silver and electricity reaches 100%, it is directly converted into the corresponding affinity attribute.

Since then, every 100% of resistance has been converted into 1% affinity.

Ivan felt that the upper limit of this affinity attribute should be 100%, after all, these things are not those extraordinary symbols.

Furthermore, a 2% affinity effect is already quite good.

The most obvious change is that Evan can now consume metallic silver to significantly replenish his body's energy.

Being shocked by an electric current will not cause any harm.

On the contrary, you will fall into a state of excitement and recharge yourself, offsetting the energy consumption.

Another point is that Evan discovered that potions have their limits.

I've been consuming too many energy potions and purification potions lately.

Even the fast-acting version without buffering agents has led to Ivan developing drug resistance from continuous use.

Yes, it's not that the side effects have decreased, but rather that drug resistance has developed directly!

The effects and side effects of these two potions that Evan takes now are only 1% of what they used to be, which is almost negligible!

Other potions based on the same principle include Blood Potion, Night Demon Potion, etc.

Evan roughly calculated that if the same potion is taken continuously for more than 150 times, permanent drug resistance will develop.

Of course, this refers to the fast-acting version. If it's the regular version, permanent drug resistance will develop after about 80 bottles.

"Looks like I need to be more careful about taking medicine in the future. Taking the same medicine continuously doesn't usually lead to good results!"

Energy potions and purification potions are both quite good in terms of properties and side effects.

Unfortunately, because Evan lacked self-control, he had to choose other potions.

"But on the bright side, at least we gained some crucial knowledge!"

"We can't just grab any potion and exploit it excessively from now on! We need to use them in combination!"

As I pondered this, the rain that had been falling for two days finally stopped, and bright sunshine streamed in.

Ignoring the dampness and cold outside, Evan hurriedly opened the muddy window.

As the sunlight shone on him, an unprecedented feeling of warmth filled his body.

In an instant, my empty stomach felt slowly filled under the sunlight.

This doesn't feel like eating food normally, but more like refueling a gas tank.

The energy is absorbed through the skin and appears out of thin air in the stomach, where it slowly grows and creates a feeling of fullness.

After achieving a solar affinity of over 500%, Evan's identity has now changed from a believer in the sun to a disciple of the sun.

You have been promoted to Disciple of the Sun. (Your level will not drop as your stats decrease.)

You can quickly replenish lost energy by sunbathing; the higher the value, the faster the replenishment.

[Under the sun's rays, energy conversion rate increases by 20%, and physical and mental constitutions increase by 2.]

[Once the value reaches 2000%, proceed to the next stage.]

There are two core members within the entire Sun Disciple group.

One change is that what used to be a normal way to replenish energy has now become a rapid way to replenish it.

After crossing the 500% threshold, Evan felt that the speed at which he gained energy from sunbathing increased by more than five times compared to before!

The real key point is the second one, which is to turn the previously unused self-healing rate into energy conversion efficiency.

This 20% improvement is crucial because it can enhance the efficiency of all energy conversion processes.

Not only does it increase the efficiency of obtaining energy by 20% through sun exposure, but it also provides this 20% bonus for eating and drinking as long as you are in the sun.

It was precisely because his solar affinity broke through 500% a month and a half ago that Evan finally avoided going bankrupt due to food shortages.

Subsequently, with the steady increase in his affinity with the sun, his income and expenses reached a balance.

This is also the core reason why Ivan dares to activate the final stage of the Black Sun Wings.

As his affinity with the sun further increases, he has excess energy to cover the new consumption.

P.S.: Monthly passes are very filling, friends!
