Chapter 229: Bronze Sequence 200

Three days later.

Su Mu looked at the billion in transcendent materials delivered by the Revolutionary Army, along with that piece of Gold Grade Dragon Blood Jade. He held the jade, examining it closely, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

He had already learned of the Dragon Blood Jade's effects from Duanmu Qing. As the heir to an alchemy family, there were very few transcendent materials on the market she didn't recognize.

The Dragon Blood Jade was considered a relatively rare Gold Grade material. Legend had it that it formed when dragon blood dripped onto jade. Whether the legend was true remained debatable, but it was undoubtedly a Gold Grade transcendent material.

Its effects were simple and singular: upon use, it enhanced the physique and prolonged lifespan.

It sounded rather ordinary; its effects didn't even seem as potent as a Silver Grade Transcendent Potion. However, the reason it was classified as Gold Grade was due to the Longyuan Empire!

The Longyuan Empire's Royal Family had constantly searched for and purchased Dragon Blood Jade across the entire world, offering exorbitant prices almost no one could refuse. Rumor had it that the Dragon Blood Jade was the primary ingredient for an exclusive Gold Potion brewed by the Royal Family.

Therefore, the Dragon Blood Jade's greatest value didn't lie in personal use, but in selling it to the Longyuan Empire. In the hands of the Longyuan Empire, it was truly worth the price of a Gold Grade material.

This was likely why the Revolutionary Army had never used the Dragon Blood Jade. For an organization living a precarious existence, leaving such a good item unused would be madness.

They had naturally held onto the Dragon Blood Jade to sell it to the Longyuan Empire. But now, this treasure had fallen into Su Mu's hands.

Su Mu looked at the Dragon Blood Jade in his hand and crushed it without the slightest hesitation. The golden jade instantly shattered, and a thick drop of golden blood rolled down his palm.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the drop of golden blood. Instantly, a searing current surged through his entire body, as if a raging fire were burning across his flesh.

A numbing tingle followed, welling up in his limbs and bones. It felt as though countless tiny electric currents were darting back and forth between his muscles and skeleton. Every cell awakened, radiating unprecedented vitality.

His skin began to turn slightly red, radiating warmth. His heartbeat also accelerated, pounding like a war drum to pump fresh blood to every corner of his body.

Su Mu could feel his physical strength growing rapidly. With a light clench of his fist, he sensed the tremendous explosive power hidden within his muscles—as if he could effortlessly smash a boulder to pieces. His body also felt lighter; a gentle leap would allow him to move with the wind.

As time passed, this wondrous sensation only grew stronger. His physique continuously fortified itself, pushing his endurance, speed, and strength to entirely new heights, as though he had been completely reborn.

"Huu!" Su Mu slowly exhaled, reeling in his surging power. He was already at Bronze 3 in the Follower of Strength pathway, so his physical fortitude was extraordinary. Now, after absorbing the Dragon Blood Jade, his physical constitution could practically rival a Silver 1 Follower of Strength.

If he factored in his Undying Body, in pure hand-to-hand combat, not even a true Follower of Strength would be his match.

This power left him thoroughly satisfied. He wasn't short on money, so he naturally wouldn't consider selling the Dragon Blood Jade to the Longyuan Empire. With his methods, getting his hands on cash was incredibly easy.

The only thing he needed was physical fortitude; it was the root cause limiting his overall power. As long as his physical body could keep up, he could completely rely on sleeping to grow stronger. He just had to lie in bed every day and keep sleeping, and it wouldn't be long before he reached the absolute peak.

That was why he employed the most wasteful method of directly absorbing the Dragon Blood Jade. But it had all been worth it.

"Now I can feed the Void Devourer until it's full."

Su Mu took out the Void Devourer and began continuously charging it. After he fell asleep over a dozen times, the Void Devourer was completely filled.

For him, his spiritual energy grew stronger the more he slept, so naturally, the number of times he needed to recharge it would steadily decrease. This was completely normal.

Just as he finished this series of actions, he suddenly noticed a strange stirring among the three Dream Laws within his body!

A bizarre phenomenon unfolded. He watched as Myriad Phenomena, Endless Demonic Sound, and Startled Soul Fall showed signs of fusing together.

Originally, they had been like three parallel lines, never interfering with each other. But now, these three lines showed signs of overlapping, as if trying to form a single, thicker line.

"This is..." Su Mu narrowed his eyes, already forming a faint guess. This was the omen of breaking through to Silver!

Advancing from Bronze to Silver meant fusing three Bronze Laws into one, transforming them into a single Silver Law. Of course, the prerequisite was that these three Bronze Laws had to belong to the exact same pathway.

The Dream Laws were all obtained from his dreams, so they naturally shared the same root and origin. He just hadn't expected the advancement method for these three laws to be identical to that of the Bronze Laws.

"It seems that repeatedly falling asleep just now caused my spiritual energy to touch the critical point once again. Now the breakthrough is starting."

Su Mu waited quietly. About an hour later, the fusion of the three Dream Laws came to a halt. He furrowed his brow, carefully scrutinizing the three laws that hadn't entirely succeeded in their merger.

Myriad Phenomena and Endless Demonic Sound had fully fused, but the newly acquired Startled Soul Fall had only merged halfway.

Why was that?

After a moment of thought, he arrived at an answer. It was likely because he had grasped Startled Soul Fall for too short a time and hadn't completely digested it yet. He needed to use it more. Only after he had fully digested it could he thoroughly break through to Silver.

It made sense when he thought about it. Compared to ordinary Transcendents, his breakthrough speed was simply too fast—so fast that if it were ever made public, it would instantly cause a massive uproar.

In just two short months, he had advanced from an ordinary person to Bronze 3. Furthermore, he was a dual-pathway Bronze 3, and that wasn't even counting his Immaculate Heart. Such speed could no longer just be described as fast; it was completely world-shocking.

Afterward, Su Mu spent half a day getting used to his newly augmented strength before seeking out Duanmu Qing once again.

"Mr. Su, didn't you ask me to keep an eye out for those law potions? The wait finally paid off today. This time, Chu Shang asked me to brew the Bronze Law, Phantom Stroll," Duanmu Qing reported joyfully to Su Mu after an exhausting day.

Relevant intelligence regarding Phantom Stroll immediately surfaced in Su Mu's mind.

Bronze Sequence 200, Phantom Stroll: It allowed the user to become like a phantom, capable of phasing through walls, ignoring most physical attacks, and drastically increasing their speed.

To think it was a Bronze Law with a sequence as high as 200. One had to know that the highest-known Bronze Law, Future Sight, was only ranked at 241. The value of Phantom Stroll was easy to imagine.

With such a high sequence, its value even surpassed some lower-sequence Silver Law Potions. It was no wonder that Chu Shang, a branch company executive, would have Duanmu Qing brew it.

If it were just an ordinary Bronze Law potion, there definitely would have been no need to brew it. But a sequence reaching 200 was different; falling into the hands of someone in need, this potion could fetch an even higher price.

"You've done well," Su Mu praised. "You've worked hard during this time. We're just about ready to reel in the net."
