Chapter 762: Chapter 662: Breakthrough—I’ve Seen the Truth of the Lower City...

[The "God" within is initially condensed - Calam???]

[Spirit +7.]

[Pupil Power Value... spirit not limit-broken, pupil power value is locked, unable to increase!]

"Strength +8, Constitution +5, Spirit +7, a total increase of 20 attribute points in one go! This almost matches the base boost of half an S-class equipment."

"Especially the blood and flesh healing speed +400%....."

Feng Mu’s mind flickered slightly, and he flicked the thumb bone of his left hand, slicing hard at his wrist, instantly creating a blood groove nearly to the bone.

But almost at the moment the blood was about to seep, granulation at the wound began to wriggle, intertwine, and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the skin was as smooth as before, not even leaving a trace of a scar.

"Now, regenerating a severed limb might still be a struggle, but ordinary external injuries really do heal instantaneously, this truly resembles those undying monsters like the Calamity Corpses."

Feng Mu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. Although he anticipated that breaking through the Fourth State of "Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Art" would surely bring extremely generous rewards, reality has still exceeded his most optimistic expectations.

"I remember last time I broke through to the Third State, the reward was decent, but definitely not as exaggerated as this time..."

A gleam flashed in Feng Mu’s eyes, thoughts racing,

"Is it because the further breakthroughs in ’Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Art’ cause the feedback from the cultivation technique itself to become more astonishing? Or..."

His gaze swept over the line with the question marks again.

"A greater possibility is that this breakthrough unexpectedly allowed me to condense something so-called God - Calam???"

Even though the name is only half displayed, what exactly is it called Calam-who knows?"

Feng Mu thought of this, and couldn’t help but feel speechless, deeply helpless and annoyed at the system’s extremely poor style of leaving things blank.

"Just revealing a surname is as bad as saying nothing at all! Now this leaves people feeling itchy in their heart, keeping them in suspense without a source to inquire, really..."

He shook his head and sighed, feeling a kind of frustration like having an itch unscratched.

Suppressing this trace of displeasure forcefully, Feng Mo refocused his attention on his own state.

The enhancement of power is tangible, but what follows is a more prominent bottleneck.

He exhaled a long breath of frustration:

"Unfortunately, among my current base attributes, only Strength and Agility have broken one layer of the genetic lock.

While Constitution and Spirit haven’t yet been injected with the corresponding Genetic Needle, still firmly locked at 9.999... unable to advance."

This means that the 5 Constitution and 7 Spirit points gained from this breakthrough, along with the attribute boost provided by the newly acquired S-class equipment, remain in a gray "read-only" state.

Like a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, visible yet impossible to truly convert into combat power.

Pupil Power Value, being locked due to its linkage with the Spirit attribute, is the most direct demonstration.

Feng Mu glanced at his attribute panel, where half of it was locked, his expression slightly darkened.

It feels like most of the money in your bank account is frozen - you can see it but can’t spend it?!!

It’s like having a massive sum in your bank account, yet most of it is frozen by the court, letting you only watch and not spend.

This strong sense of constriction and disparity is too suffocating.

Power surges within him, yet is forcibly suppressed by an invisible shackle, hard to fully unleash, this pent-up feeling almost driving one mad.

Ordinary people cannot empathize with Feng Mu’s inner woes, as they neither have the power nor the savings!!

After a moment of thought, Feng Mu’s gaze turned to the item bar in the Consciousness Space.

Specifically towards Genetic Needle C*1, and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill*1.

"Should I use this precious C-class Genetic Needle now to forcibly unlock one of the attribute locks?"

Internal conflict surged fiercely within Feng Mu, two thoughts pulling intensely.

Feng Mu was slightly reluctant, after all, this is a C-class Genetic Needle, not a D-class Genetic Needle.

Using C-class to unlock a D-class "lock" feels like a slight waste.

Unless this injection not only breaks open the D-class lock but also the C-class lock.

This possibility is not absolutely absent, but it’s not mentioned at all in the usage instructions, making Feng Mu hesitant to gamble on such a low-probability outcome.

"Forget it!"

Feng Mu weighed the options repeatedly and decided to suppress the impulse to use the Genetic Needle immediately.

"Let’s first examine the specific efficacy of this last Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, maybe there are unexpected miraculous effects? Perhaps it also has lock-breaking effects?"

With this shred of hope, Feng Mu gently flipped his palm.

A faint light shimmered, and in the next moment, a crystal-clear pill the size of a dragon’s eye, as translucent as an amethyst glass, lay quietly in his palm.

The pill’s surface was smooth and warm, with a faint purple mist swirling endlessly, emitting a refreshing scent that cleansed the body and soul, and evoked longing.

This Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, whether in appearance or in aroma, seemed superior to the previous two he used, perhaps due to psychological effect.

Having experienced the previous two treatments that were akin to a "biohazard" event, Feng Mu had accumulated rich experience.

He swiftly removed all his clothes and sat naked on the cold white porcelain toilet lid.

The old toilet creaked faintly, unaware of the ordeal it was about to face.

Toilet: "...."

"The last Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill!!!"

Feng Mu’s eyes reflected a hint of anticipation, and then he hesitated no more, tilting his head back and swallowed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.
