The Martial Saint, starting with daily intelligence.

The main problem is that he's too ugly. If a beautiful woman looked at him with that kind of gaze and expression, Zhong Ming could accept it.

But for a grown man, this is...

"Don't worry, you're safe. There will be no accidents, and I absolutely will not allow any accidents to happen."

"If you carefully sense the extraordinary power within you, you should be able to feel that it is not yet fully replenished."

Dr. Mondo's voice rang out, seemingly possessing some kind of magic, instantly calming Zhong Ming, who was still in a tense state.

Zhong Ming sensed the state within his body.

Every inch of one's body—flesh, skin, bones, organs, spinal cord, spine, nerves, brain—has gained an extra kind of energy.

This energy is evenly distributed throughout Zhong Ming's body.

This is extraordinary power!

Zhong Ming could sense the powerful energy contained within, but he couldn't make it flow like blood circulation, unlike the energy of qi and blood.

This is also the difference between extraordinary power and martial arts true qi.

  

A martial artist's true energy is alive; they can control it freely, allowing it to flow within their body. They can gather true energy in a particular area at any time, or they can dissipate it.

But extraordinary power is completely different; extraordinary power is like an inanimate object.

It simply stays quietly inside your body, strengthening each part of your body so that it can withstand more force.

They themselves are unable to control these extraordinary powers.

The extraordinary power is only consumed and used when the extraordinary runes are activated, but in essence, it is the extraordinary runes that use these powers, not the person himself who controls these extraordinary powers.

Once the body's extraordinary power is depleted, replenishing it naturally is extremely slow, and it may take several months to fully replenish the previously consumed extraordinary power.

Therefore, superhumans are extremely dependent on various reagents.

Once the supernatural power is used up, it is necessary to take drugs or get injections to replenish the supernatural power in the body.

It's nowhere near as convenient or simple as being a martial artist.

After listening to Dr. Mondo's words, Zhong Ming's mood gradually calmed down.

Dr. Mondo continued to explain.

"Your body has not yet reached its limit in terms of the amount of extraordinary power it can contain. You need to continue injecting extraordinary reagents until you reach your limit before you can stop."

"We've run out of the most authentic Kowloon reagent. The next three reagents are ones I've mixed myself."

"I assure you, the extraordinary power within is absolutely stable. It's just that using it might cause a violent physical reaction, which is why I'm binding you to prevent you from hurting yourself."

Mondo once again stroked Zhongming's body with fascination.

"How could I bear to see such a beautiful body harmed?"

"Let's begin."

Dr. Mondo's eyes regained their extreme indifference, and he was holding a reagent in his hand.

"This is the Panlong Marrow Oral Liquid, an essence extracted from rock-type monsters. Taken orally, it primarily strengthens your flesh and bones, and may give you the chance to gain rock-type abilities, enhancing your defensive capabilities."

"You easily endured the previous twelve Ancestral Dragon Needles, but I wonder how many doses of the Panlong Marrow Oral Liquid I prepared can you withstand."

After saying that, Mondo, regardless of whether Zhong Ming was willing or not, pinched his chin and poured the first vial of reagent into his mouth.

A cool liquid flowed from my mouth straight into my lungs, and the effects of the medicine began to spread.

"Ah~"

The intense pain caused Zhong Ming to let out a wail.

The pain started with abdominal pain, followed by heart pain, as the effects of the medication spread throughout the body via the bloodstream.

Extraordinary power began to fill every part of his body, and pain spread throughout his body. The intense pain made it impossible for Zhong Ming to concentrate on suppressing the restless blood and essence within his body.

When the phantom of the Flower of Essence Blood appeared on Zhong Ming's body, Mundo showed an extremely shocked expression.

"Ouch~ It hurts, it hurts!!"

Zhong Ming's veins bulged all over his body, and the intense pain and surging blood and qi made his whole body hot and red.

"This...this is!"

Dr. Mondo immediately ran to the side to look through the documents.

The howling of the bell mingled with the sound of pages turning.

After a while, Dr. Mondo finally spoke excitedly.

"Haha, found it, this is it."

"The essence and blood flower of a martial arts grandmaster!"

"It's so wonderful."

Mondo stared at the phantom of the flower of essence blood appearing, completely mesmerized and unable to see anything else.

As the flower of essence blood slowly rotated, some of the extraordinary power within Zhong Ming's body was also refined and transformed into pure qi and blood power.

Zhong Ming's pain began to subside, and the effects of the medicine were almost completely depleted.

Seeing this, Mundo did not hesitate to pour in three more doses of the potion.

The essence blood flower that had begun to dissipate and return to Zhong Ming's body bloomed again, and the red essence blood flower spun and refined at an even faster speed.

During this period, whenever the essence and blood flower showed signs of stopping its transformation, Mundo would not hesitate to administer Panlong Marrow Oral Liquid.

And whenever Zhong Ming was in unbearable pain and was about to fall asleep, Mondo would administer an unknown liquid, making Zhong Ming's mind unusually clear, while a powerful life force would surge into his body, supporting Zhong Ming's body.

It took Zhong Ming an unknown amount of time to recover from the intense pain.

"That's fantastic."

"A mere Bone Forging Warrior actually possesses the essence blood flower that only a Core Formation Grandmaster can condense, and its purity is so high. I thought I was seeing things, or that it was the product of some special ability."

"It's so wonderful, so beautiful."

"I'm totally mesmerized by it."

Dr. Mondo continued to praise him, like a devoted believer.

Zhong Ming felt only offense and annoyance, without the slightest joy.

I felt like I was being completely exposed, and he was peeling away all my secrets bit by bit.

This feeling is absolutely awful!

Seeing the anger and murderous intent in Zhong Ming's eyes, Dr. Mondo didn't mind at all. Instead, he comforted him, saying, "I understand that you are very angry with me."

"But you need to know that I'm the person who least wants you to get hurt, without a doubt!"

"Promise me you'll take good care of your body and not let your perfect physique suffer any harm, okay?"

"Otherwise, I'll show you what true cruelty is."

Mondo spoke harshly in a calm tone, without any emotional fluctuation, but Zhong Ming couldn't help but shiver.

Mundo in this state feels infinitely more terrifying than Mundo in his manic state.

Zhong Ming swallowed hard and nodded.

"I will take good care of my body."

"Um."

Mondo nodded, unable to resist kissing Zhong Ming's forehead. A strong chill surged from the bottom of his heart, making him feel like he was living a life worse than death!

"That's a good kid!"

"Come on, let's continue."

"Next is the Kailong membrane injection reagent. I will inject this reagent directly into your bone marrow. It may be a little painful, so please bear with it."

"This is a glandular secretion extracted from crocodiles or lizard-like creatures in swamps. It is injected directly into the bone marrow through a needle, forming a periosteum on the surface of the bones to protect the entire skeleton. At the same time, it also enhances the skin's defense and has the potential to form a hardened skin on the body surface."

"Wait a minute, I think we can come back another time. I feel like my body is about to burst."

Seeing that Mondo was about to continue, Zhong Ming anxiously stopped him.

No, that's your misconception.

"How can a mortal's body be compared to yours?"

Mundo's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light.

"Under my spiritual gaze, the extraordinary power within you is less than half full."

"Your body can withstand even more extraordinary power."

"The reason I'm switching to a different extraordinary potion is because the Panlong Marrow Oral Liquid won't be of much help to you; it can only replenish your extraordinary power a little more."

"Haven't you noticed?"

"You have awakened your petrified skin. Feel your skin with your heart. If you wish, your skin can petrify, greatly increasing your body's defense capabilities."

Upon hearing Mondo's explanation, Zhong Ming finally realized what was going on.

With a single thought, his entire body turned grayish-white, like a stone statue.

"Is this what petrified skin looks like?"

"You've felt it, haven't you? You've awakened the Rock Beast's abilities. Your defensive power has greatly increased, and you can also assimilate and manipulate earth and rocks. You've taken seventeen doses of Rock Marrow Oral Liquid. It would be strange if you didn't awaken the corresponding superpowers."

Dr. Mondo said calmly.

"Keep going, let me see how many more surprises your body can bring me."

Feeling the power he had just experienced, Zhong Ming's hostility towards Dr. Mondo dissipated considerably.

Zhong Ming was no longer so resistant; instead, he felt a bit more expectant.

As the Kailong membrane injection reagent was injected into Zhong Ming's bone marrow, he once again felt a stinging pain all over his body.

"Ahhh~"

Dr. Mondo frowned as he watched Zhong Ming's petrified skin change shape from time to time.

"Hold on, stop your petrification ability, it will affect your absorption of the Armored Membrane Injection Reagent."

"My wife is in so much pain, I'm trying my best to bear it, but I can't hold it in anymore~"

"Sigh, I shouldn't have told you so sooner."

Mundo sighed.

"I can only add some more precious Fountain of Life to you, but that will affect the experimental data."

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Ming felt completely exhausted; the experimental table was soaked with his sweat.

"Perhaps because you've already awakened your petrified skin, the awakening of your hardened skin is happening much faster this time."

"The former hardens the muscles and skin, belonging to the category of muscle and skin-related superpowers, while the latter hardens the skin, belonging to the category of skin-related superpowers."

"The two have many things in common, which is why seven vials of reagent were used and you successfully awakened the corresponding superpower."

"Perhaps there is also interference from the Fountain of Life."

Dr. Mondo frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the results of the experiment.

"Otherwise, it should be able to absorb more reagents, which would make the awakened superpower even stronger."

Dr. Mondo brought out another box, this one much more exquisite, and it seemed to contain something unusual.

"Only one extraordinary reagent remains: the Peeping Eye Drops!"

"This is my true masterpiece. The previous two were just average and were not fundamentally different from the extraordinary potions prepared by other pharmacists."

"But the Peeping Eye Liquid is different; it breaks the curse that supernatural power can only be evenly distributed to all parts of the body!!"

Dr. Mondo explained his masterpiece to Zhong Ming, but Zhong Ming was already indifferent.

Anyway, that's how it is.

Since there's no way to resist, then just enjoy it.

Zhong Ming was now basically certain that although Dr. Mondo was a madman, he was not harmful to him for the time being; on the contrary, he could gain more advantage from him.

Mondo continued to explain.

"The main ingredient of the Peeping Dragon Eye Drops is extracted from the glands of a strange beast called the Rainbow Dragonfly. It is formulated with various reagents and when dripped onto a person's eyeballs, it can locally enhance the strength of the head's supernatural power, greatly improve eyesight, and has a small probability of granting eye-related supernatural abilities."

"The fact that extraordinary power can be locally enhanced indicates that it can be targeted and amplified to a certain extent!"

"In the past, all extraordinary reagents would distribute their extraordinary power evenly across every tissue, but this reagent concentrates the extraordinary power in the head."

"It's a pity that the experimental materials used in the past were too poor. They couldn't even fully tolerate one dose of the drug, and could only tolerate up to 73%, with an average tolerance of only 33.54%."

"In this way, even if the extraordinary power of the head can be enhanced locally, the effect is not obvious. Only spiritual sense extraordinary inscriptions of the sixth rank or above can detect the subtle difference."

"As for awakening eye-related superpowers, there isn't a single one."

"A bunch of useless trash, wasting my precious extraordinary potion."

Dr. Mondo said angrily.

Then, he looked at Zhong Ming with intense eyes.

"But I believe that with your perfect body, you can definitely fulfill my wish and bring out the full potential of the [Kuilong Eye Drops]!"

Dr. Mondo completely immobilized Zhong Ming's head and inserted a steel needle into his eyelids.

"For most people, it is sufficient to simply drop the solution into the eyeball, and it is a diluted solution that is dropped in."

"With your perfect body, there's no need for such trouble. Just inject the undiluted solution directly into your pupil through a needle."

"No, I don't think the experiment should be too radical. We can start slowly."

"Holy shit, ahhhhhh!!"

Zhong Ming watched helplessly as the huge needle pierced his eye, still trying to persuade and save him, but a burning liquid entered the depths of his eyeball.

Zhong Ming's eye sockets were filled with a liquid that kept overflowing from deep within, and the green liquid was almost visible to the naked eye corroding Zhong Ming's eyeballs and eye sockets.

Zhong Ming's eyes were bloodshot, with blood and medicine constantly seeping out.

"You'll die a horrible death!"

"Ahhh..."

"Damn it..."

Dr. Mondo was completely unaffected by Zhong Ming's insults.

Instead, he kept a close eye on Zhong Ming's current state, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly light, indicating that he was using some kind of extraordinary ability.

Meanwhile, various instruments attached to Zhong Ming's body were also providing real-time data feedback.

After an unknown amount of time, the restraints on Zhong Ming's body were finally removed.

But Zhong Ming remained lying on the experimental table, looking utterly despondent.

"It's a perfect masterpiece."

"You can get up now."

"Your extraordinary power is about 73% complete, and there is still 27% left to be fully replenished."

"However, I think you could develop one or two more superpowers."

"There's no need to use the remaining three medications; it would only waste your body..."
