Bloodline Evolution Agent

The spaceship flew for about eight hours in the dark universe, traversing space, and arrived at Bailan Star, 11,800 light-years from Earth.

In the northern part of Bailan Star, an extreme cold zone.

A C9-class deep blue spaceship landed in front of the castle at the center of the warehouse base. The castle guard immediately came to greet them.

"We'll stay on Bailan Star for three days first. The Virtual Universe Company needs about three days to deliver the Bloodline Evolution Agent." Luo Feng leaped directly from the hatch, landing on the firm snow with a crunch. Hong and Lei Shen also jumped down, walking beside Luo Feng.

Luo Feng wore a blood-red combat armor, his belt cinched tight, the hem of his armor billowing in the cold wind.

Lei Shen wore white combat armor, and Hong wore black combat armor.

Luo Feng's and Hong's combat armors were Moyun Combat Armors, formed from the Moyun Vine. Only Lei Shen had a specially purchased Second-tier Force Combat Armor.

"That external deacon Mingyu hyped up the Bloodline Evolution Agent as something divine, I wonder if it's true or false," Lei Shen muttered. "I can't even find any information about the Bloodline Evolution Agent on the Virtual Universe Network."

"That's because your clearance isn't high enough," Luo Feng chuckled. "For searching information on the Virtual Universe Network, with our ordinary identities, it's easy to find unimportant, non-confidential, public information. But for restricted information... you need sufficiently high clearance to browse it."

"Hmph, ranks are everywhere," Lei Shen shook his head.

"Where aren't there ranks? The rich and the poor, those in power and ordinary people," Hong said with a faint smile.

...

By the evening of the third day on Bailan Star.

Due to the reflection of the pristine snow, the sky was still quite bright. A deep gray, saucer-shaped spaceship didn't stop at the 'Planet Docking Bay' but flew directly to Luo Feng's warehouse base. This spaceship bore the massive Virtual Universe logo, indicating its identity.

Boom~~

The spaceship came to a stop.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen stood on the snow, eagerly watching the spaceship.

"Whoosh~~" The hatch opened. Three individuals, two men and a woman, all in black combat armor, emerged. The woman in the lead carried a briefcase, while the other two followed on either side. They flew directly from the hatch and landed before Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

The leading woman wore black glasses. As she looked at the three, her glasses displayed a string of data visible only to her.

"Identity confirmed. Delivery can proceed."

"Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, these are your Bloodline Evolution Agents." The pale-skinned, cold-faced woman directly opened the briefcase. Inside were three slender, syringe-like containers filled with iridescent colored liquid. She then snapped the briefcase shut and presented it to the three.

"Thank you," Luo Feng said, reaching out to take it.

The three individuals immediately turned, flew back into the spaceship, and within mere seconds, the ship took off, soaring into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere, and leaving Bailan Star.

"Bloodline Evolution Agent." Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all gazed at the briefcase.

"Let's go inside," Luo Feng called out.

"Haha, I can't wait!" Lei Shen's eyes gleamed.

...

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen each took a Bloodline Evolution Agent and entered their respective training rooms.

"Bloodline Evolution Agent." Luo Feng looked at the iridescent liquid in the slender syringe. It possessed an unparalleled beauty, so captivating it made his heart tremble. "Let's begin!"

Without hesitation.

He removed the cap from the syringe, then directly injected it into his skin. As he slowly pushed the plunger, the colored liquid gradually merged into Luo Feng's body. It was as if mad cancer cells were devouring every cell within him, and a thousand-cuts-like agony surged into his mind.

"Damn it!" Luo Feng cursed through gritted teeth, immediately curling up on the ground.

His teeth were clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound, and blood seeped from his gums, trickling from the corners of his lips.

"It really hurts."

"Luo Feng, bear with it. This stuff improves your bloodline, changing it from the deepest level, so it's indeed very, very painful. Endure it, and it will pass," Babata comforted.

"How much longer?" Luo Feng felt his consciousness trembling.

"It'll be quick, less than an hour," Babata said.

"An hour?" Luo Feng could only clench his teeth desperately.

No matter how much it hurt, he had to endure. Luo Feng hadn't heard any screams from the two adjacent training rooms, indicating that Hong and Lei Shen were also suppressing this immense pain.

"Hmph. Ngh!" Luo Feng let out pained groans from his nostrils.

...

Meanwhile, inside his body.

Every cell in Luo Feng's body became a battlefield. Muscle cells, bone cells, and all others were engaged in a struggle. The evolution of human bloodline, by rights, was a long and gradual process of change. The Bloodline Evolution Agent was developed by the Virtual Universe Company to accelerate this fundamental transformation.

Each dose was very costly.

...

In the training room.

Luo Feng lay spread-eagled on the ground, his clothes soaked and clinging to his body, revealing his incredibly muscular physique. Yet, he lay there utterly exhausted and motionless.

"So tired."

"Too tired."

"My whole body feels completely disintegrated. I don't even want to move a single finger right now," Luo Feng communicated to Babata. "But at the same time, there's a comfort that comes from my very bones, truly, incredibly comfortable."

"The process of bloodline evolution is naturally painful, but afterward, it's incredibly comfortable. This process actually consumes a lot of your own life force. You should quickly use Muya Jing now. Muya Jing contains a large amount of life force and is a treasure that promotes life evolution. Using it now is best," Babata urged.

"Understood," Luo Feng nodded.

"Notify my eldest and second brothers to use Muya Jing," Luo Feng instructed. Babata immediately used the communicator to inform Hong and Lei Shen.

...

On Bailan Star.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all immersed in cultivation. The energy contained within a single Muya Jing was astonishing. Normally, Luo Feng could only spend a little time each day absorbing it before his body became completely saturated. But today, having just undergone a major bloodline evolution, his incredibly hungry body was frantically absorbing the Muya Jing's energy.

"Utterly wonderful."

Luo Feng sat cross-legged, holding a Muya Jing in his hand.

A vast amount of life-force energy surged into his body. Every cell, having just undergone a fundamental change, was incredibly 'hungry' and frantically devoured this energy. They were too starved! Every surge of energy was swallowed the moment it entered his body, and this absorption process continued without pause.

After about 23 hours, one Muya Jing was completely absorbed. Luo Feng took out another Muya Jing!

The process of absorbing Muya Jing energy was also a process of Luo Feng's body evolving. As his body continuously evolved and strengthened, naturally, the amount of mental-force he could withstand also increased. A large amount of refined mental-force directly integrated from his Natal Core into his Sea of Consciousness, and the mental-force in his Sea of Consciousness grew steadily.

...

Rumble~~

The blood-red mental-force surged like a sea of blood, then frantically gathered, forming a massive blood sphere that continuously expanded and contracted. The entire world seemed to contain only this one blood sphere. With the final contraction, his entire Sea of Consciousness rumbled, and a dazzling, miniature, glowing 'star' formed.

Added to the original miniature star.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the new star revolved around the old star, which also rotated slightly, forming a binary star system.

"Hiss, hiss~~" Even purer mental-force, refined by the two stars, permeated his entire Sea of Consciousness like a thin mist. At the same time, the 'Tower of Void' within his Sea of Consciousness also began to transform.

Star Traveler Level Two!

Luo Feng's body had advanced from 'Planet Level Seven' to 'Planet Level Eight'. His mental-force, meanwhile, had reached Star Traveler Level Two!

...

One day later.

Luo Feng, riding his Duntiansuo, transformed into a streak of light, rapidly flying through the extreme cold zone in the northern part of Bailan Star. His terrifying speed even caused the hard snow below to crack open, forming a trench-like path. An ice-bound snow mountain was frantically pierced by a golden swordfish, then exploded with a roar, sending massive amounts of snow tumbling down.

"Exhilarating," Luo Feng stood in mid-air, watching the snow mountain collapse, feeling incredibly refreshed.

"Third Brother."

"Sanzi."

Two voices came from afar.

"Coming!" Luo Feng's Duntiansuo traced an arc beneath his feet, flying like lightning towards the distance. On the snowy ground stood two men, one in black combat armor and one in white combat armor—Hong and Lei Shen. Both Hong and Lei Shen were now full of vigor. When they had just used the Bloodline Evolution Agent, Luo Feng reminded them to use Muya Jing, and they naturally did so immediately.

At this time, the effect was best.

Hong indeed broke through in one go, reaching Star Traveler Level One.

And Lei Shen, seizing the opportunity, reached Star Traveler Level Two! However... such opportunities were rare. The Bloodline Evolution Agent was effective once, but subsequent uses would have almost no effect. Nevertheless, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were very satisfied, as the most important effect of the Bloodline Evolution Agent was—

To make their future path of evolution a little faster!

"Third Brother," Hong said with a smile, looking at Luo Feng.

"Hm?" Luo Feng descended, landing on the snow.

"Sanzi, Big Brother and I are both thinking... of applying for the Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment. What do you think?" Lei Shen looked at Luo Feng.

"Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment?" Luo Feng was startled.

That's right, Big Brother was now Star Traveler Level One, so he could take the Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment.

This Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment was the entry-level assessment among the many assessments of the 'Cosmic Mercenary Alliance'. His good brothers He Ruo and Buleimu had gone to participate in the Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment. This entry assessment was meant to weed out those unsuitable for risking their lives on this path of life and death!

The method of elimination... was mostly death. Only with good luck could one keep their life.

Therefore, this Apprentice Mercenary assessment was notoriously known for its high mortality rate.

"Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary assessment?" Luo Feng murmured.

"What do you think?" Hong and Lei Shen looked at Luo Feng.

"When are you planning to depart?" Luo Feng inquired.

"The sooner, the better, of course!" Lei Shen couldn't help but say. "Of course, beforehand, we'll thoroughly check the Virtual Universe Network to see what we need to pay attention to for this Apprentice Mercenary assessment."
