Chapter 45 Extreme Tempering
Putting away the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, Li Wei took out that bottle of C-grade genetic fluid.
The transparent and colorless genetic fluid, as the syringe was pressed down, slowly injected into Li Wei's body, and a familiar warm flow rose.
He was quite familiar with the feeling of genetic fluid altering his body.
But this time, it seemed different.
After a few minutes passed, when Li Wei felt that the energy of the genetic fluid had been completely absorbed by his body, the heat that should have gradually subsided instead became more vigorous.
It was no longer the power of the genetic fluid. This increasingly surging energy came from his body itself.
The obstacle of the limit level that had troubled him for a long time finally had a breakthrough opportunity!
Sitting on the sofa, Li Wei closed his eyes, carefully feeling the continuously surging power inside him.
His body, which was judged to have no potential, was like a sturdy dam, and potential was like water. The dam firmly blocked all the water, sealed in a reservoir.
And now, this dam had finally been opened. The torrential amount of water poured in and quickly filled his body.
It seemed that the extreme tempering had been completed...
No, not yet!
Normally, when the body's potential is explored to its limit and the entire body is filled with power, it basically means entering the limit level and completing extreme tempering.
However, he suddenly realized that his extreme tempering seemed... not to be over yet?
He felt a force beyond his body's capacity constantly impacting various parts of his body!
And these excess parts came from two sources: his eyes and his left hand.
"Is this possible? The Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand, transformed by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, actually affect extreme tempering?"
At the brink of breakthrough, Li Wei had inquired about extreme tempering from many sources and had some preparations. However, no one would tell him what would happen during extreme tempering due to the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand, things that did not belong to this world.
This additional force placed a huge burden on his body, which had poor potential. He felt that his muscles, blood vessels, and even internal organs were somewhat stretched, and this force was still strengthening.
If allowed to continue, his wretched body might burst directly!
He was at a loss, but he knew he had to figure something out!
He tried, but he couldn't control this force at all!
What to do? What to do?
Li Wei thought of a method.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and summoned the Book of Ten Thousand Laws from his heart.
Then, the overwhelming force that had almost burst his entire body seemed to find an outlet for venting and rushed into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
When the swollen feeling subsided, Li Wei sighed in relief—it was a close call.
In the extremely dangerous situation just now, Li Wei could only try anything. He didn't know if the Book of Ten Thousand Laws could absorb the force that had filled his body just now, but judging by the current situation, he had bet right.
Sitting slumped on the sofa, he breathed heavily for a while before adjusting his breath back.
This time, it was truly perilous, but perhaps it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Since the Book of Ten Thousand Laws had absorbed this force, it should give him some rewards, right?
Thinking of this, he became excited again.
With a thought, he opened the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
It was a bumper harvest!
Skipping the first six pages, he found that the seventh and eighth pages had all been unlocked!
Overjoyed, Li Wei carefully read through these two new unlocked pages and found something strange—there were no options. The two pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws directly determined two ability upgrades: the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand.
When he obtained the Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, there was a situation where only one option was unsealed. But having one option and directly confirming the ability without any choice, although the result was the same, was essentially different.
Why was this?
The mysterious Book of Ten Thousand Laws was something Li Wei couldn't truly understand. But he speculated that this situation might be caused by the special nature of the power injected into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws this time.
These powers originally came from the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand.
These two abilities that directly changed his body shape were also stimulated during his extreme tempering. The potential contained in the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand was much stronger than his current wretched body, to the point that the emerging power made his body unable to bear it. After being injected into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, due to the special nature of the power, the unsealed pages could only be used to enhance the level of these two abilities.
Although Li Wei was slightly annoyed by not having a choice, the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand were his core abilities now. Upgrading these two abilities was definitely a good thing.
This unexpected surprise made Li Wei very satisfied.
After another upgrade, the Mangekyo Sharingan became the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. The insight and hypnosis effects were further enhanced, and the burden did not decrease, but new effects were gained.
Identify genjutsu, resist genjutsu, and replicate skills.
As for the first two, Li Wei hadn't encountered opponents using genjutsu yet, so he couldn't test how effective these two effects were. The hypnosis ability of his current Mangekyo Sharingan was barely a kind of genjutsu, but in reality, there was still a big gap from true genjutsu.
True genjutsu could kill instantly.
He also hoped to have real genjutsu abilities, but this probably had to wait until his Mangekyo Sharingan was further upgraded to have a chance of obtaining.
However, the effect of this new replication skill made Li Wei very interested.
In the original work, the ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan could learn an opponent's moves just by watching them once, and a character was even called the "copy ninja" because of this.
Could Li Wei also do this?
He wanted to find someone to try it, but in the end, he restrained this impulse. It's better not to act rashly, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Turning to the eighth page, he once again checked the effects of the upgrade of the Devil's Left Hand.
Firstly, there was an all-round enhancement of the Devil's Left Hand, with the power and the power of the claws all increased, and the consumption of using the claws reduced. Additionally, he also gained a new skill related to the Devil's Left Hand.
"Ghost Slash? Wasn't this Devil's Left Hand from 'Devil May Cry'? How did the skills from 'Dungeon Fighter Online' also come?"
He was a little surprised, but considering that Nero had a Devil Bringer, and the Ghost Blade Master also had a Devil Hand, being integrated by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws didn't seem impossible.
