Chapter 765 - 663: Bone Marrow Cleansing! It Has No Health Bar?!! (Part 2)

Chapter 765: Chapter 663: Bone Marrow Cleansing! It Has No Health Bar?!! (Part 2)

And right now, he can’t stop this pervasive pollution whatsoever.

He can choose not to eat the synthetic food of Lower City, but can he refrain from breathing its air?

A feeling of powerlessness and irritation surged within him.

Feng Mu shook his head forcefully, temporarily suppressing these unsettling discoveries and speculations.

"Forget it, today is ultimately a happy day. Let’s not think about this for now, as long as I keep increasing my strength, someday all these problems will cease to be issues."

Feng Mu could only comfort himself with such thoughts.

The stunning change in eyesight brought enormous joy, but also heavy worries. In contrast, the enhancement in hearing was much clearer, almost entirely positive.

Feng Mu felt his auditory nerves’ sensitivity soar by more than a hundredfold.

Through a thick wall, he could clearly hear the person in the next room breathing steadily, even the heartbeat and the faint swooshing of blood flowing through veins.

He could hear the extremely subtle friction sounds of wind brushing against different surfaces outside the window, and the faint trembling of leaves with no wind below.

And when he truly focused, expanding his hearing’s range to the extreme.

Buzz!

As if the volume switch of the whole world was suddenly turned on!

He could hear the movements of every household in this building.

Muffled murmurs between couples, the sound of children grinding their teeth, the dripping of a faucet not tightly closed, the faint electric current in devices on standby, even some indescribable suppressed breaths... countless sound fragments rushed in like a tide.

Even more fascinating was the complex "sound field" created by these countless sounds propagating, reflecting, and interweaving through the air, and his brain seemed to transform into a supercomputer, automatically processing, restoring, and modeling this sound information.

In an instant, in his mind emerged a clear 3D structural diagram of the building’s interior, along with the rough furniture layout, personnel position, and movement traces inside each household.

All this was constructed through hearing the omnipresent air creating barely audible "breathing" sounds and vibrations as it flowed over different surfaces, resulting in high-definition acoustic imaging in his brain.

This was almost like the divine sense scanning described in some immortal cultivation novels, except he relied on sound rather than spiritual power.

Thus, the image in his mind was black and white, lacking color details, but possessed amazing spatial precision and dynamic information.

However, the subsequent enhancement in smell made Feng Mu somewhat displeased.

His olfactory sensitivity was conservatively estimated to have increased more than tenfold.

The direct consequence of this was that with every breath, a nauseatingly dense mixed stench surged into his nostrils.

He could easily distinguish at least a dozen different sources of foul odors within that massive stench.

The stench of aged urine residue in the toilet seams, the decomposing musty smell with marsh gas from the sewer, the gloomy moldy smell emitted by damp mold inside the walls, the sour stench of food decay drifting from the kitchen, the mix of sweat and body odor from the person sleeping next door, and the sour smell of rotting food in garbage bins drifting from outside the window...

Truly diverse, each with its "flavor," strongly impacting his overly sensitive olfactory nerves.

"..."

Feng Mu’s mouth twitched, momentarily left speechless.

He quickly controlled his flesh, actively reducing the blood flow to the capillaries in the nasal mucosa to decrease the sensitivity of his olfactory nerves.

After some effort, he managed to forcibly suppress his supernormal sense of smell to about three times its original level.

Though he could still smell various odors, at least they were manageable, barely tolerable without being instantly overwhelmed.

Feng Mu let out a long sigh:

"Really... it’s hard to imagine that sometimes upgrades don’t bring entirely benefits; they also entail unfavorable side effects."

Is this a bittersweet dilemma?

By contrast, the enhancements in touch and taste weren’t as prominent; instead, they became more sensitive and precise, remaining within controllable limits.

This led Feng Mu to feel slightly disappointed, while also breathing a sigh of relief.

Just as he was adjusting to these newfound senses.

Boom!!!

A tearing pain originating from the deepest part of his soul exploded suddenly without warning!

"Argh!"

Feng Mu instantly felt as though struck by lightning, his entire body convulsed violently; his muscles spasming uncontrollably, his facial expression twisted grotesquely, veins popping on his forehead and neck in a frightening manner.

Despite having died numerous times and endured countless torments with rich experience, he struggled to bear this agony directly impacting the soul’s source; the intensity was indescribable!

Such pain, Feng Mu had experienced something similar before.

It was during the injection of D-class Genetic Needle, forcibly breaking the Genetic Lock, bringing the tearing sensation of a life level leap.

It’s just that previously he would inject a single dose at a time, attacking one lock.

But this time... it seems like two locks are being attacked simultaneously?!!

"Crack—"

"Crack—"

In his ears, he even clearly heard two nearly overlapping auditory hallucinations of lock cores shattering.

Evidently, the pain brought by simultaneously attacking and tearing through two Genetic Locks far exceeds just attacking one.

It’s not a simple one plus one equals two, rather it produced some terrifying chemical reaction, the pain index soaring almost geometrically, rising tenfold.

"Hah... hah..."

Feng Mu was in excruciating pain, almost unable to breathe, his teeth grinding so hard they were about to shatter, his pores closing and opening, bringing forth a dense layer of goosebumps.

As he was about to faint from the pain, he let out a hysterical laugh from the depths of his soul:

"Hahaha— Heaven helps me!

Indeed, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill can unlock locks. And it can unlock two at once. This saves me two D-class Genetic Needles, what a profit ahhhhh—"

At the same time, a strong sense of fear and relief surged in his heart.

He was relieved that he had already unlocked Strength and Agility through the Genetic Needle before.

Otherwise, if he relied solely on the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, attacking four Genetic Locks at once?

He feared he wouldn’t survive the night, dying painfully in the bathroom?!!

The intense pain burned his soul, yet it also ignited the brightest flames in his eyes.

He stared wide-eyed, unblinking, at the attribute panel only he could see in the void, the rising and jumping numbers became his best painkiller against the torment.

On the panel, the data was frantically refreshing, jumping:

[You have completed Bone Marrow Cleansing!]

[Strength receives a certain increase↑↑]

[You have completed Bone Marrow Cleansing!]

[Agility receives a certain increase↑↑]

[You have completed Bone Marrow Cleansing!]

[Constitution is undergoing explosive surge↑↑↑↑↑]

[You have completed Bone Marrow Cleansing!]

[Spirit is undergoing explosive surge↑↑↑↑↑]

Because Strength and Agility were already unlocked, the Bone Marrow Cleansing provided a relatively gentle enhancement, steadily increasing them a few points on their basis.

But Constitution and Spirit were entirely different, this was their first unlock.

Furthermore, all previously "frozen" attributes were completely liberated at this moment.

At this moment, locks shattered, barriers collapsed, the massive accumulated attribute points surged out like a mighty flood.

The five upward-crazily-jumping arrows on the panel were the most direct proof!

Feng Mu stared intensely at the attribute panel’s skyrocketing values, his eyes fiery like erupting lava, his twisted and hideous face forced a grin into an exaggerated and terrifying arc.

Pain?

What is pain?!!

As long as he can achieve tangible power growth, as long as he can become stronger, fear not the pain even ten times or a hundred times more?!

How can a villain fear pain?

Pain is the richest nourishment for a villain’s growth, the sweetest delight to be enjoyed!

"Let the pain come even more violently!"

Intense pain and extreme ecstasy, these two extreme emotions crazily intertwined and conflicted within him, making his expression even more twisted and bizarre, like crying, like laughing, resembling madness.

As if answering his almost masochistic desire, the tearing pain from the depths of his soul truly escalated by several magnitudes.

Just when the pain reached its peak.

Another line of prompt subtitles, seemingly catalyzed by this extreme pain, slowly emerged with a trace of glimmer...
