Chapter 87

Supersonic Shift Arcana and Angelization Arcana

“The Supersonic Shift Arcana gives Christopher that terrifying speed!”

“At Level-One, his speed could reach Mach One; at Level-Two, Mach Four . He is now a Level-Five arcanist capable of a speed of Mach Ten,” Zhou Ji said .

“Mach 10? How fast is that?”

Ling Jiu looked at that Caucasian guy with blond hair and blue eyes . “How could his body cope at that speed?”

As an object moved, it would encounter air resistance . The faster it moved, the higher the air resistance was .

Once an object traveled faster than the speed of sound, the air resistance would be enormous . When compounded with shock waves and other phenomena, a person’s body could get ripped apart, or even disintegrate .

Taking a supersonic fighter jet as an example, before the fourth-generation fighter jets came into being, the third-generation fighter jets could not perform sustainable supersonic flight . If a third-generation jet traveled at supersonic speed over one or two minutes, it would probably disintegrate .

That would happen to a fighter jet made of alloy materials, let alone a body of flesh and blood .

Apparently, without a tough-enough body, nothing could sustain supersonic flight . Yet, Christopher could move at Mach 10 .

How strong his body had to be to do that?

“This is his other arcana!” Zhou Ji said .

“Angelization Arcana?” Ling Jiu raised an eyebrow .

“Do you believe there are angels in this world, Ling Jiu?” Zhou Ji asked back instead of answering his question .

He was stunned by Zhou Ji’s question and he did not know how to answer . In principle, he was an atheist, not believing in any form of gods .

The question here was: what else was impossible when even Transmigration was already a reality?

“No one really knows for sure if angels exist . But after activating Angelization, Christopher does look like an angel,” Zhou Ji said in slow pace . “Standing at five meters tall with a pair of golden wings and a holy aura, he does really look like a legendary angel . People call this morphing ability of Christopher’s Angelization Arcana . Many Christian Westerners even see Christopher as an angel incarnation . He has many followers there . ”

Ling Jiu had no word for it . “Is the Angelization Arcana powerful?”

“The Angelization Arcana has a single function, which is physical enhancement . But that is enough to make him sustain the supersonic speed . That’s the incredible part of him,” Zhou Ji said . “There is a saying that goes, ‘nothing beats speed when it comes to martial arts . ’ When a person’s speed reaches a certain threshold, that person would become incredibly powerful . So you can imagine how powerful Christopher is . ”

“He is incredible!”

Ling Jiu licked to moisten his dry lips . His heart fluttered; Supersonic Shift was really a damn good arcana .

He could not imagine how good it would be if he could replicate this arcana and use it in combination with his Tungsten Form .

Just then, the large alloy door leading to the Twelve Underground Chambers opened . Everyone looked over .

A hunky African stood at the doorway, looking at them . “Twelve midnight . The Twelve Underground Chambers is open!”

“First, second, and third place winners go to Level One . ”

“Fourth, fifth, and sixth place winners go to Level Two . ”

“Seventh, eighth, and ninth place winners go to Level Three . ”

“You all may stay in the cultivation chambers for the next three days . Your rewards of Vitality-enhancement fluid and Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid have been placed in your respective chambers . You all may consume them directly . All right, get in now!”

“Yes, sir!”

Passing the large alloy door, Ling Jiu came to Level 3 . With him were a Caucasian girl and a guy with brown hair .

The three nodded at each other, then entered their respective cultivation chambers .

The chamber was about 20 meter square with a thick alloy wall on three sides and an opening on one side . There was no wall at the opening, not even a glass window .

Amazed by what he saw, Ling Jiu could not help but walk to the side with no wall and looked down .

He broke out in a cold sweat at seeing a large fissure below .

The fissure was winding, several hundred-meter-wide and over ten-kilometer-long . It was immensely deep as he could not see clearly the bottom .

There was a faint blue light shining out of the fissure, making it look like the mouth of a giant monster about to swallow him .

“So this is the dimensional fissure?”

Ling Jiu was wide-eyed . The dimensional fissure apparently laid beneath the earth . When it appeared, the earth had cracked open .

It was the earth’s crack on the surface, and the dimensional fissure was at the bottom .

“Where does this fissure lead me to if I were to fall into it? An alien planet, or extraterrestrial region? Probably not . More like the fissure will rip me apart into million pieces . ”

Ling Jiu observed the fissure for a while before getting himself ready for practicing self-cultivation .

He first came in front of a rack and took up two test tubes .

One tube contained greenish fluid while the other silverish fluid .

“This greenish fluid must be the intermediate vitality-enhancement fluid, and the silverish one the intermediate vitality-enhancement fluid . Which one should I take first?”

He hesitated for a while before picking the greenish one and threw the content down his throat .

It tasted sourly sweet, much like plum soup . But the pleasant feeling did not last long . He was then hit by dry and hot, and tingling sensation .

He felt a stream of warm energy rise from his abdomen and spread to the rest of his organs and body—chest, arms, back, legs, neck, and head .

It felt as if he had gulped down an entire bottle of liquor . The burning sensation was mixed with unbearable itchiness .

Gradually, the itchiness was getting worse . He felt as if there were a million ants crawling all over his body . All he could do was to refrain from scratching and bear with it .

It was hot .

He felt his body boiling, as if he had a 45ºC hype fever .

It was itchy .

It was unbelievably itchy, so much so that it almost killed him .

“Who the hell invented this thing? This is so freaking weird!” Ling Jiu cursed quietly .

Unknowing to him, however, amid these dry and hot and itchy sensations, his body was transforming, or in another word, enhanced .

His skin and flesh, his tendons and bones, and his organs were rapidly toughening .

His muscles became stronger; his fascia was more powerful and flexible; his bones became tougher .

Everything happened so quickly at a thousand times faster than on normal days .

But as intense and rapid as the sensation was, it faded just as quick and completely disappeared after ten minutes .

“That’s it?”

Ling Jiu took a couple of heavy breaths, then found that he had sweated like a pig with a layer of black stuff on his skin . He stank to high heaven .

“That’s disgusting!”

Ling Jiu frowned, thinking of cleaning himself up . But he found that there was not even a bathroom in the cultivation chamber so he had no choice but to bear with it .

“Never mind . Practicing self-cultivation is more important . ”

After giving himself a pep talk, Ling Jiu picked up another test tube—the one that contained the Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid—and drank the entire content .
