(From MC's perspective)
My attention shifted from dantian towards the remaining red liquid. Seeing that the red liquid has exhausted somewhat. But it's not up to the point where I can say the energy is completely absorbed.
The blood light from my body started to convert the remaining red liquid energy to white energy. This white energy then started to enter my skeleton.
Once again, I was reminded of the tearing pain. In preparation, I gritted my teeth. I decided to upgrade my body strength as well.
"Ahhh," I let out a small scream before stopping. Compared to before the white energy this time is a little bit overbearing. Slowly, changes started to take place.
The red bone part of my skeleton began to stretch further. Slowly the red color started to expand.
I gritted my teeth and focussed on running the blood method.
At a certain point, Click!
Initial Trainee Warrior! (Physique)
I broke through. But the movements didn't stop. It repeated similar to essence breakthroughs.
Small sweat beads formed on my forehead.
Unlike before, the body breakthrough comes with agonizing pain. I have to experience similar pain before reaching another breakthrough.
Things have come this far. I don't have any option to turn it back. I continued to run the blood method.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
20 minutes later,
Mid-level Trainee Warrior (Physique)
30 Minutes later,
Peak level Trainee Warrior (Physique)
1 hour later,
Initial Elite Warrior (Physique)
"Finally," I uttered in disbelief. It feels surreal. I officially step into Elite rank in both essence and body cultivation.
I don't know how Elder Thornton and others would react. If they learn about my breakthrough, their reaction would be worth seeing.
The feeling right now, can't be described in one statement.
This red liquid is enough for ordinary warriors to skip two entire big realms and step into a higher realm.
But I'm both body and essence cultivator. That's why the energy required for me is extremely huge. If I was an essence cultivator alone, I would have become a Super Elite warrior by now.
My lips curved into an arc after feeling such beaming strength inside my body. The next second, I felt another movement.
My heart skips a beat. Don't tell me the red liquid is yet to dry. When I looked inside, I found the remaining red liquid. The amount is drastically reduced compared to before.
Seeing that the blood-red rune in my consciousness dimmed. I feel that the remaining red energy won't pose a threat to me.
After checking one more time, I withdrew my consciousness.
"Phew," I sighed in relief. When I tried to get up, my feet didn't even touch the ground. "I'm levitating," I mumbled under my breath.
The next second, a look of understanding dawned upon me. After becoming an elite warrior one can gain flight ability.
The scenes of Elder Compton's fight against the worm monster flashed before my eyes. He used his flight ability to cause damage to the monster.
While levitating, I also absorbed the armor suit. The armor suit weighs a lot less than before. The elite power brings a sense of security to me. I can do a leapfrog battle.
So I think Class-5 Monster can't pose a threat to me.
"Ha...Ha...Ha....," loud laughter reached my ears suddenly.
Hearing that my expression changes drastically. Who could be? I'm all alone here.
"Eric Lloyd," I muttered.
I easily recognized the voice. Then I disappeared from the spot and moved towards the source of Voice.
I immediately found the location. "This?" I had never expected there to be an underground chamber beneath this facility. Eric's voice also comes from the underground chamber.
When I decided to go down. I heard another roar of laughter.
"Ha..Ha...Ha..."
"I'm an Elite Warrior now."
"F@king Elite Warrior"
When the words reached my ears. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. How? A question popped up in my mind. It's already huge luck to come across such a heaven-defying red liquid.
Don't tell me there is one more existing underground. I paused my movements for a second and started to think. I can't rashly enter the underground.
Because this facility is heavily run down. Any clash here would cause further damage to the structure.
After figuring it out, I made up my mind to enter. Because there is quite a possibility that the underground chamber has another entrance.
Then I opened the wooden door and started to descend. I started to hover instead of touching the ground.
I see Eric Lloyd hysterically laughing to himself. So much that he didn't even notice my presence. I smirked. What made him react like that?
On the other hand, Eric Lloyd was over the moon. Without minding the surroundings, he started to blubber.
"I'm really lucky. I found the inheritance of the ruin owner. Compton is going to bleed blood," He said to himself.
"No!"
"I'm not going to share the secret with him. Especially, no one should know about the healing scripture," He said in a low tone.
But he isn't aware that someone is listening to his mumbling.
At the same time, I felt throbbing in my heart again. Healing scripture? My hand trembles a little. Even this guy has dog sh!t luck. To think he was able to find a healing cultivation method.
Thank goodness, my search for a healing cultivation method comes to an end. I'm finally going to make use of a healing element similar to the blood element.
The next second, a firm determination appeared in my eyes. It is impossible to obtain the healing scripture without killing him.
Swish!
I disappeared from my spot. My speed was so fast that Eric wasn't able to react.
When he realized something was wrong. It was too late.
I gave a heavy blow to his head.
Smash!
The blow was so fast. Eric Lloyd failed to block it. His mind went blank for a moment. Before he could realize it, he got smashed onto the ground.
Pfff!
Coughing up blood, Eric Loyd tries to get up with a horror-stricken face.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye.
Except for the armor suit's light, everything appeared dark.
At the same time, my gaze turned toward the table.
An emptied liquid bottle and A piece of cloth are on the table which attracted my attention. From his earlier, blabbering. I see that piece of cloth seems valuable.
I reached out to pick it up.
"Don't touch my things," Eric Lloyd said in a hoarse voice. His consciousness becomes a little bit clear.
Finally, he managed to recognize the face.
"Zack, it's you," He uttered in disbelief. He never expected this kid to be so strong. How is this possible?
On the other hand, I uncovered a piece of cloth. Seeing that there is something written in it. My curiosity was piqued further.
"Harumph,"
"Don't waste your time. Only people with healing elements can read the scripture," Eric Lloyd said in a cold tone.
He forgot about his situation and wanted to see Zack making a fool of himself.
But the next second his mouth widened in disbelief.
"What?"
He saw the piece of cloth lit up with green light and the next second a green light shot between Zack's eyebrows.
On the other hand, I'm shocked. I spread my consciousness casually. But the word became alive unexpectedly. Surprisingly, I understand the healing cultivation method.
But it's not time to experience it. So I retracted my mind and looked at injured Eric Lloyd.
"Thanks to you. I got what I wanted," I said with a smile.
"Impossible, how could you have a dual element?"
"Who are you?"
Eric Lloyd asked back in a trembling voice.
I sneered looking at him. I run the blood element in my body. The next second, I felt monstrous power hiding in my muscles.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and appeared above Eric Lloyd. Under his panic-stricken face, I raised my leg and gave a heavy kick to his chest.
Eric's armor suit couldn't withstand the blow.
Boom!
A small crack appeared on the suit. Eric Lloyd was further crushed to the ground. When the smoke is cleared, I see a huge dent in the armor suit.
Unfortunately, I can't use my lighting element here.
Eric Lloyd's face is discolored. His chest bones were broken from the blow. He couldn't fathom his strength of Zack.
"He is just a kid. Why does he have the strength of Elite?" Eric Lloyd cried in his heart.
But unfortunately, his questions will remain answered. Because he saw another foot coming against him.
A few minutes later,
Eric Lloyd turned into a cold corpse. The armor suit was broken. There is a wide hole in its chest region.
If one looks closely, one can find it was completely caused by brute strength.
"Phew," I exhaled in relief. Thanks to the blood power, I somehow manage to kill him. And Eric Lloyd is my first Elite-level kill.
Then my gaze landed on the emptied bottle. Shaking my head, I decided to search the place. I want to see whether anything is left out apart from healing scripture.
