Chapter 148: Advancement of the Glutonny



Chapter 148: Advancement of the Glutonny

When Lu Zhen heard this, he sighed. The difference between twenty-five and ninety percent was apparent; it was almost five times more effective on Lu Zhen.

"Sigh, I feel like the skill became more of a burden rather than an advantage." Although the potential of the Gluttony skill was unimaginably high, currently, Lu Zhen felt it was more of a burden. He couldn't consume the elixir normally; if he overdid it, he might explode. The only reason Lu Zhen was previously able to use up all that energy was because he advanced his skills.

[Host, it is recommended that you consume only one elixir at a time; otherwise, the chance of exploding is very high.]

"When can I take the elixir again?"

[When the host is fully able to digest the elixir.]

"When will that happen?"

[The host will need at least three days to fully benefit from the effect of the elixir before taking another one.]

Lu Zhen remained silent as countless thoughts swirled in his head in the blink of a second.

He summoned his system with a thought and focused on the skill section, opening it.

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen looked at the skills as his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

Without a second delay, he opened the vial and drank it down instantly. Lu Zhen's body was filled with the familiar energy as it slowly went towards his wood qi and mixed with it . Instantly, his process was accelerated to a terrifying degree, with his qi reserves decreasing at a terrifying speed.

The remaining mysterious energy which didn't accelerate Lu Zhen's wood Qi condensation process started to nourish and strengthen Lu Zhen's body.

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen could feel his muscle contracting and slowly becoming smaller and smaller; however, its density kept increasing as his muscle slowly became more compacted and stronger.

Lu Zhen felt a little bloated; however, he was fine. Unlike last time, Lu Zhen was stronger, so naturally, it didn't make his condition worse like previously.

"Should I take the risk or not?" he thought as he looked at another vial.

"System, how much possibility of surviving do I have if I drink the second vial right now?"

[Host, the percentage is twenty-ninety percent. I wouldn't recommend the host to take the vial.]

"Hmm. Just take it," Lu Zhen's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint as he consumed the pill again.

Instantly, the bloated feeling started to rise up in Lu Zhen's body. However, he didn't stop; first, he asked the system.

"What are my chances of survival if I take another vial?"

[From the current knowledge, the host's survival chance is fifty percent.]

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this as he gulped down another vial.

His body was fully bloated now as his muscles inflated in a strange angle.

Ahh!

A searing pain erupted within him as his body felt stuffed to the brim.

However, Lu Zhen's eyes lit up when he saw the prompt in front of him on a blue screen.

[You have overeaten]

[Gluttony has levelled up from level 8 to level 9]

Lu Zhen quickly spoke to the system in his head.

"What are my chances if I drink another vial?"

[Host, it is sixty percent.]

The mechanical, cold voice rang in Lu Zhen's ear, prompting his excitement.

Lu Zhen didn't hesitate for a moment before gulping down all the four vials left in one go.

Boom!

A terrifying energy permeated Lu Zhen's body as his body fully inflated to look like a balloon. His wood qi condensed at a terrifying speed, even with Lu Zhen not meditating at all. Lu Zhen's hands and legs became tiny, and his previous muscles were nowhere to be seen, with him inflated like a balloon filled with air.

"I am going to explode." Lu Zhen's body didn't stop inflating; he kept inflating and inflating at a terrifying rate.

[You have overeaten]

[Gluttony has levelled up from level nine; advancement available]

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up as he hurriedly opened his skill section.

Skills]

[BATTLE INSTINCT: LEVEL 1]

[Gluttony: level 9] (advance the skill? (yes) or (no))

[Appraisal eye: level 5]

[Saber mastery: level 6]

[Adaptability: level 5]

[Aura control: level 5]

[Meditation: level 2]

[Dual cultivation: level 3]

[Alchemy: level 2]

[Sword mastery: level 2]

[Qian mastery: level 1]

[Staff master: level 1]

[Chain mastery: level 1]

Lu Zhen focused on the Gluttony skill, hurriedly imagining pressing the "yes" button. Instantly, almost half of the mysterious energy disappeared from his body, all going towards his brain rapidly.

Slowly, Lu Zhen's body deflated, but he was still in an inflated state, making it difficult for him to move properly.

"Hmm…" Lu Zhen frowned when he sensed the change in his body. Almost all the wood qi in his body was already condensed, but his wood qi reserve had been totally drained.

He summoned his system with a thought.

[Mission completed:1]

His wood qi reserve had increased by a whopping 48%. However, all the wood qi in Lu Zhen's body was fully exhausted, causing the mysterious energy to have no target. Instead, it nourished his body, which was why he remained in an inflated state.

"Let me gather more wood Qi," Lu Zhen thought to himself as he sat down in a meditative state, taking out the low-grade qi-stone from his pouch and absorbing the attributeless qi. Slowly, he turned it into his wood qi before the mysterious energy helped him condense it again.

[Gluttony advancing]

[1%… 3%… 8%.... ]

Slowly, the skill was also advancing, while the system consumed a massive amount of his energy.

This cycle repeated for a day in the cultivation chamber.
