Chapter 486: Chapter 15: Humiliation to the End

The latter sounded somewhat mysterious. In practice, it relied on one’s own experience and observation of planetary creatures to determine the direction of breaking their life limits in the future. Then, it used medicinal methods to help increase the probability of a breakthrough and complete their life evolution.

“Aroo?”

Ghost Element was dissatisfied, as if asking him why.

“This Life Essence doesn’t just focus purely on the flesh and physique; it also has a certain enhancing effect on the spiritual level.

“However…” Lu Chao smiled, looking at the few remaining materials on the table. “This stuff is just so-so for you.

“Next time. Next time when there are more materials, I’ll prepare a portion for you.”

Aroo?

Hearing this, Ghost Element lay down to the side and licked its lips, seemingly dissatisfied.

Lu Chao smiled faintly, pretending not to notice. He could tell that the creature had already recovered to the Transcendence Level, so there was no rush for this moment.

In contrast… BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE! The boiling medicinal liquid had thoroughly fused. All the mineral crystals and the Beast King’s essence blood had become its nutrients.

[Life Essence]

[Quality: Basic]

[Consumption Effect: Contains a certain amount of Beast King Level life origin. Superpower Level consumption can strengthen the physique, with a certain chance to slightly enhance the spirit…]

Intuitive senses surfaced before his eyes as Lu Chao looked at the emerald-green Life Essence. All the effects were more or less identical to what the formula had mentioned. Moreover, he noted, “The energy concentration seems to be a notch stronger than biological serum and energy mineral essence. It’s somewhat close to Basic Excellence.”

With bright eyes, he poured the liquid out of the glass furnace. There were two full portions, completely filling a glass bottle with a capacity of over a hundred milliliters.

Without much hesitation, after adding a coolant to rapidly lower its temperature, Lu Chao simply swallowed it all at once.

GLUG GLUG…

The taste was somewhat sweet and rich as the warm liquid fell into his stomach.

In an instant, the violent medicinal power dispersed. [Plunder and Grow] activated with a boom, forcibly breaking it down and restructuring it. Lu Chao took the opportunity to stand in a martial stance on the spot, adjusting his breathing to guide the medicinal power toward his limbs and bones.

The Fixed Star Observation Method silently circulated, and the Ten Thousand Jins Return Flow also acted on physical instinct. All his muscles and sinews birthed new vitality once again.

Gradually, in his subtle perception, a trace of an even brighter crimson flame seemed to appear in his mental sea, swiftly merging into the Crimson Fire sun. His body’s cells also sent out signals of greed, plundering a large amount of nutrients. This scene lasted for nearly ten minutes.

Finally… HUM!

Lu Chao opened his eyes, a glint of Crimson Fire flashing past. He looked at the panel.

[Life Energy: 220 → 223]

[Potential Progress: 14%]

“Just as I expected.”

His Life Energy had increased by a full three points in one breath. The effect of the Life Essence was indeed a notch stronger than the biological serum.

“It’s just that it requires a few more materials, especially the Beast King Level life origin.

“I’ll have to think of another way for this.”

With a flash of his eyes, many plans surfaced in Lu Chao’s mind. The Dark Web channel was one aspect. Once the negotiation matter ended, the Superpower Bureau’s intranet would also distribute a lot of contribution points, which could be exchanged for this type of resource.

Even more so… He looked at Ghost Element, taking the opportunity to stroke its fur as he said, “I’ll go hunt a Beast King and bring it back.

“When the time comes, there will definitely be a share for you.”

Its ruby-like eyes glancing at him, Ghost Element seemed to be considering the offer.

Right at this moment, a slight movement reached his ears. Both the man and the beast focused their gazes, turning their heads to look almost simultaneously.

Penelope, who had been slumbering for many days, still had her eyes tightly shut. But upon closer inspection, one could see her fingers twitching slightly and her brows gently furrowing.

“She’s waking up?”

…

VROOM!!

Outside the Red River Army’s restricted stone tower area.

A camouflage off-road vehicle came to a halt. Chen Junhao, draped in a black general’s overcoat, could be seen leading two figures toward the entrance. Along the way, Red River Army soldiers patrolled back and forth, and armored vehicles were parked on both sides.

“Boss, do you think Lu Weilong suddenly calling you here is a trap?” A burly man, built like a violent bear, followed behind him and asked in a low, somewhat worried voice.

The tall and skinny Caucasian commander to his side wore a similar expression. He frequently glanced left and right at the passing soldiers, constantly feeling an aura of murderous intent in this place.

“At a crucial juncture like this, he won’t try anything reckless.” Chen Junhao shook his head. With a calm face, he led the two of them straight through the patrolling crowd.

A faint aroma of meat drifted from inside the stone tower. Kui Wu, one of the Red River Army commanders, was standing guard at the door. To his left and right, several warlord soldiers holding submachine guns looked toward them.

“Kui Wu.”

“Third Leader, the First Leader is waiting for you.”

“Mm.”

Chen Junhao nodded and was about to enter the stone tower.

“Third Leader.” Kui Wu suddenly reached out, blocking the two Red Flame Army commanders behind him. “The First Leader gave orders that only you may enter,” he stated flatly, his face devoid of any emotion.

The burly “Violent Bear” and the other commander who had followed along both underwent slight changes in expression; one turned gloomy, while the other frowned. Just as they were about to flare up in anger…

“Old Third.”

Lu Weilong’s voice rang out from inside the stone tower. He was sitting at the head of the long sand table. He appeared to be eating, holding a large piece of roasted beef leg in his hand. The sideways glance he cast over carried a hint of pressure.

Chen Junhao remained expressionless. He immediately ordered Violent Bear and the other man to wait outside before stepping into the stone tower.

“Big Brother.”

“Old Third, sit.”

Lu Weilong was draped in a military-green overcoat. The long sand table in front of him wasn’t projecting a map; instead, it was covered with a brown-patterned Beast King skin. Numerous dining plates were placed on it, filled with roasted Mutant Beast leg meat and rib essences, or various exotic fruits from the wilderness, covering the entire table.

Following his gesture, Chen Junhao sat down opposite him. In the next moment…

“There have been a lot of rumors in the city lately. I wonder if you’ve heard them,” Lu Weilong suddenly said. He took a bite of the beef leg meat, which was thicker than a grown man’s thigh, his mouth coated in grease.
