Speed: 2.0 s/100 meters

..."

An increase of 11 kg?

He touched his chin before sinking in.

After thinking for a moment, he sat back down and took the second Na Yuan Dan. After the effects of the medicine were fully absorbed, Chen Qian got up again and went to the simulator.

boom!

After the punch, the data reappeared.

Strength: 2062 kg

Speed: 2.0 s/100 meters

..."

The sinking was finally completely confirmed.

The effects of the Na Yuan Pill may vary from person to person, but in his case, each pill would probably increase his strength by about ten kilograms.

One ounce of vital energy is equivalent to ten kilograms. So, if he were to digest all one hundred of these Yuan-Gathering Pills, he would gain approximately one thousand kilograms of strength.

This result is not bad.

This is equivalent to being able to cross two minor realms before sinking.

So Shen Qian stopped paying attention to the simulator's data, sat back down, and began to eat the Na Yuan Pills one by one.

After eating five or six more, Shen Qian complained that it was too slow, so he simply grabbed a handful and stuffed about seven or eight of them into his mouth.

Boom!

Shen Qian clearly overestimated himself.

When seven or eight Na Yuan Pills collided together, Chen Qian had a feeling that he was about to die.

His taste buds almost instantly lost their sensation, as if a grenade had exploded in his mouth, the flames spreading all the way to his stomach and then his limbs.

When he was burning and his consciousness was blurred, he heard the system's "auto-shutdown" message, and only then did he feel relieved and faint.

...

When he woke up again before sinking, it was already the morning of the next day.

He opened his eyes, sensed his extremely weak body, and shook his head.

Swallowing nearly ten pills in one go would have been suicidal without the system.

Fortunately, although his physical condition was poor and his meridians and bones still felt burning, the vital energy flowing in his body was much stronger.

The system truly lives up to its name; it never disappoints. It actually managed to suppress the medicinal power of so many Na Yuan Pills.

However, on the other hand, if the system felt it couldn't protect itself, it probably wouldn't have allowed Chen Qian to act so recklessly.

Shen Qian shook his dizzy head and sat up from the ground. He took a few satiety pills from his spatial ring and swallowed them. He then drank three liters of water in one go, which made him feel much better.

After adjusting his breathing for a while, and when he felt that his body was no longer restricted, he went forward to the simulator.

boom!

Strength: 2273 Kg

Speed: 2.0 s/100 meters

..."

Chen Qian stroked his chin, examining the line of data.

Not bad, the medicine's effects weren't wasted, and his strength increased by more than 200 kg once again.

Judging from the quality of his vital energy, he should have already stepped into the third stage of the initial martial artist level.

After glancing at the remaining half-plate of Na Yuan Pills on the table, Shen Qian thought for a moment and decided to give up on eating.

...At least give the system some time to recover.

Although the Na Yuan Dan cannot be taken for the time being, the Ju Ding Dan can still be taken.

He swallowed a Gathering Peak Pill, giving himself a cultivation buff, and then circulated the Ancient Technique before sinking into cultivation.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

"wake up."

Shen Qian was suddenly awakened by the voice of the big boss.

He opened his eyes, but Gao Wenyuan was nowhere to be seen. He immediately realized that his teacher had used the method of transmitting sound.

"The formation is complete. Come over in an hour."

Gao Wenyuan said something brief again, and then fell silent.

Has the Heaven-Seizing Array been completed?

He felt somewhat invigorated before sinking.

Perhaps it was because even a top-tier noble like Yanshan Gong had failed to achieve his goal that always left Shen Qian with a sense of unease, but now the matter has finally been settled.

Smelling the stench that had appeared on his body due to the breakthrough, Shen Qian frowned in disgust and quickly ran to wash himself thoroughly.

Shen Qian, wrapped in a bath towel, heard the doorbell ring. He assumed it was Lao Liu calling him and didn't pay any attention. He went to open the door with his upper body bare.

Make eye contact.

"ah!"

Ji Ruoshui gasped in surprise, her face turning bright red instantly, and she quickly covered her eyes.

"Ahem, Eighth Senior Sister, it's you?"

Shen Qian was also somewhat embarrassed.

“I…I was afraid you would be late, so I came to call you.”

Ji Ruoshui turned to the side and whispered.

The midday sun pierced through the gaps in Ji Ruoshui's body, casting a slightly exaggerated, curved silhouette on the polished floor.

After Ji Ruoshui finished speaking, she noticed that Shen Qian hadn't said anything for a long time. Just as she was about to turn around to take a look, she suddenly froze.

A pair of extremely strong arms embraced her from behind.

Under extreme tension and embarrassment, Ji Ruoshui was about to break free when she suddenly remembered that she had accidentally thrown Shen Qian out of the Tower of Babel last time, and her movements became hesitant.

She already knew that Shen Qian was "sick," so her mindset was naturally different.

In that moment of hesitation, her body was suddenly turned around, and a look of bewilderment and confusion flashed across her star-like dark eyes as she saw Shen Qian's face getting closer and closer.

She also saw Shen Qian's eyes.

For a moment, Ji Ruoshui was somewhat lost in thought.

Those eyes held both light and darkness, indifference and fervor, and even Chen Qian's face suddenly became both familiar and strange.

In that final 0.05 seconds, when Ji Ruoshui finally came to her senses, she saw a human-like astonishment appear in Shen Qian's eyes.

Yes, it's human-centered.
