The harvest was abundant. There were four vials of God Genes alone in the black box, which meant Lin Xia would likely acquire four different special abilities.
Lin Xia casually thought of refining Go Hon52's corpse, but then suddenly realized that he was a human. Her once-human consciousness told her she shouldn't do this, but... considering her craving for power and the fact that this was the world of Corpse Brothers, even if she didn't refine him, Go Hon52 would either be eaten by other Corpse Brothers or turn into one himself, which would ultimately endanger humanity. Therefore, Lin Xia reluctantly refined him.
After absorbing the energy of the Earth Stage Early Stage and acquiring the invisibility ability, Lin Xia turned her attention to the God Genes. Her soul fire flickered violently, displaying her excitement and agitation, and she directly used the Bone Spirit source.
Ability One: Illusion Weaving.
Capable of creating extremely realistic illusions, plunging enemies into inescapable memories of their hearts. The illusion content can be customized according to different scenarios and needs. For example, creating terrifying scenes from an enemy's memories to instill fear and thus affect their fighting will, or creating a seductive illusion to lure enemies into traps. In team battles, illusions can also be used to create advantageous combat conditions, such as hiding the whereabouts of herself or her teammates.
Ability Two: Matter Recomposition.
Can alter the structure and form of matter, converting one substance into another. For example, turning ordinary stones into hard metal, or instantly repairing damaged weapons. This ability is particularly crucial in times of resource scarcity, providing strong survival guarantees and combat advantages.
Ability Three: Healing Power.
Possesses powerful healing capabilities, able to quickly repair physical wounds on herself and others. It can even cure certain terminal illnesses and severe diseases. Whether it is knife wounds, burns, or internal organ damage, everything can be restored to its original state in a short time. This ability not only saves lives but also quickly restores physical strength after a battle to continue fighting. It has merged with Intermediate Healing and been promoted to Advanced Healing.
Ability Four: Teleportation.
Can move short distances instantly, ignoring space and obstacles. Whether it is quickly reaching the battlefield, escaping dangerous areas, or launching a surprise attack, teleportation is an extremely powerful ability. This ability provides immense flexibility and strategic advantage in movement.
Lin Xia was quite satisfied with these four abilities. Suddenly, she thought of Teacher Mu, who possessed the Third Eye, and turned back.
Sure enough, she was a step too late. When Lin Xia returned, she happened to catch Little Vajra eating half of Teacher Mu's head and swallowing the Third Eye, while muttering in his mouth: "Bai Xiaofei, skeleton..."
Lin Xia: "..."
With a combination of teleportation and a decisive high kick, she kicked Little Vajra flying, and then silently performed a refinement on Teacher Mu's remains. Since most of his essence was concentrated in the Third Eye, she only managed to acquire energy roughly equivalent to the Human Stage Late Stage.
However, the gene was still there, and she was quite lucky to harvest a crystallized ability.
Night had fallen. The protagonist group was taking care of Lulu downstairs in the finance office, and then went to Yu Xiaojia's home to take a bath...
The night veil was like ink, deeply shrouding the earth. The chilly moonlight fell like a silver gauze, adding a mysterious color to this silent world. In a remote and secluded corner, Lin Xia sat cross-legged quietly, with five cold potions neatly arranged beside her.
Lin Xia activated her First Transition state, and her long-lost physical body was restored once more. Her star-like brilliant eyes revealed determination and resolve, and her long, pitch-black, beautiful hair draped smoothly over her shoulders, seeming to emit a mysterious luster under the moonlight. She knew deeply that these five cold potions would be the key to her breakthrough to the Second Transition realm of the Heaven Burying Bone Scripture.
She gently extended her slender fingers and slowly picked up a bottle of cold potion. The moment the cap was opened, a piercing chill surged out, as if it could instantly freeze the surrounding air. Lin Xia frowned slightly, but there was not the slightest trace of retreat in her eyes. She took a deep breath, and then decisively drank the potion in one gulp.
In an instant, an extremely icy power coursed wildly through her body like a violent torrent. The cold felt like countless sharp ice needles, fiercely stimulating her and bringing an unbearable wave of intense pain. Lin Xia bit her lip tightly, her delicate lips almost bleeding, yet she still didn't utter a single sound, silently enduring this immense agony.
She quickly adjusted her breathing and began to circulate the technique of the Heaven Burying Bone Scripture. As the technique slowly operated, the power of the cold potion was gradually guided into her bones. Her bone body began to emit a faint cold radiance, the light resembling clear moonlight or twinkling ice crystals. Every single bone seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
Bottle after bottle, Lin Xia continuously drank the cold potions. The chill within her body grew increasingly intense, surging like violent waves and continually battering her physique. Pain struck in wave after wave like a tidal bore, and Lin Xia felt her consciousness beginning to blur slightly.
Yet the conviction in her heart remained unwavering like a towering peak. She knew that only by breaking through to the Second Transition realm could she better survive in this perilous world. She constantly pushed herself, enduring the excruciating pain while persisting in operating the technique. Her concentration was raised to the utmost, refining the internal chill bit by bit.
Every single refinement felt like a bitter struggle, but she never gave up. Throughout this process, her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and her complexion turned somewhat pale, yet her gaze remained unswervingly resolute.
Time slipped away quietly and unnoticed. The tranquility of the night was shattered by the surging, powerful energy within Lin Xia's body. A miniature energy vortex seemed to form around her body, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. The moonlight spilled over her, as if draping her in a sacred radiance.
Finally, as the power of the very last bottle of cold potion was completely refined, Lin Xia felt an unprecedentedly mighty energy erupting from within her body.
The First Transition state dissipated, reverting to the appearance of a skeletal white bone.
Next, her bone body began to tremble violently. The cold radiance on her bones instantly became dazzlingly bright, as if attempting to illuminate the entire night. That brilliance resembled brilliant stars, dazzling and mesmerizing.
Under the impact of this formidable energy, Lin Xia's realm finally broke through to the Second Transition. She felt her strength greatly enhanced, and the might of the Heaven Burying Bone Scripture rose to a higher level. That potent energy circulated within her body, giving her the illusion that she possessed the power to cleave heaven and earth apart.
However, what surprised her was not only this.
Along with the breakthrough of her realm, her body also began to undergo wondrous changes. Her skeletal body gradually grew soft, as if a life force was surging within it. Under the illumination of the moonlight, her body began to gradually grow flesh and blood, slowly transforming from a skeleton into a complete human being.
A true human who did not need Yin Qi, spiritual power, or alien energy to maintain a physical state. Flesh was truly born from bone, though her meridians remained quite fragile.
Lin Xia looked at her own hands, feeling the long-lost warmth and softness, her heart filled with emotion. She gently stroked her cheek; the delicate skin made her almost unable to believe that all of this was real. She stood up and stretched her body, her graceful figure appearing exceptionally captivating under the moonlight.
She gazed at the bright moon in the night sky, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. She knew that breaking through to the Second Transition realm was merely a new beginning. What she needed to do now was to practice even harder and constantly elevate her own strength. At the very least, she had to ensure her own survival before setting out to change the lingering regrets in her heart.
The nocturnal breeze brushed past gently. Lin Xia strode forward with firm steps toward the unknown distance. Her figure appeared exceptionally upright under the moonlight, resembling a resilient rose blooming in the dead of night. And the conviction in her heart, much like this bright moonlight, illuminated the path ahead of her.
