Then, Peiling made a phone call.

Not long after, a researcher in a white coat came to the bounty department with a box, “Lady Peiling, Sir Peng Si asked me to retrieve something. This is the bounty reward.”

Peiling pointed at the egg that was still in the detector and nodded slightly, indicating that it should be taken away.

The researcher glanced at the vitality value as displayed on the instrument and put the egg away, “Lady Peiling, please allow me to take my leave.”

He left behind a box made of special material and a piece of paper, bowed slightly to Peiling, then hurriedly pushed open the door to leave. He didn’t even glance at Ji An, who was the only person in the room other than Peiling.

At this moment, Liu Tong was waiting in the long corridor outside the office.

When he saw the researcher carrying the box in and coming out empty-handed, he knew that the kid had completed the bounty.

Liu Tong took a deep look at the closed door of the bounty department and left the Management Council in a hurry.

Meanwhile, in the bounty department, Peiling had already reached out and opened the box sent by the researcher.

A wave of cold air suddenly appeared.

Seeing a frozen glass test tube and a set of syringes in the box, Ji An’s face lit up with joy.

“This is the soul-awakening potion. Do I need to introduce it to you?” Peiling asked Ji An.

“There’s no need, my Lady. I’m here precisely for the awakening potion,” Ji An shook his head.

He was naturally very familiar with the soul-awakening potion.

The ultimate reason why humans were able to subdue and control Transcendent creatures was due to the existence of soul power.

All living beings had a soul.

Beastmasters were those that could subtly influence the souls of Transcendent creatures, taming them and making them listen to their commands.

In the end, they would form soul contracts with the creatures, thus forming a soul bond to achieve the goal of subduing and controlling Transcendent creatures.

If humans wanted to possess soul power, other than being gifted and mastering the meditation method to awaken one’s soul power after meditating for many years, there was only one other way.

That was through the soul-awakening potion.

The potion had a high chance of allowing ordinary people to awaken their soul power.

Once one awakened one’s soul power, one would then have the foundation to become a beastmaster.

Seeing Ji An shake his head, Peiling closed the box, picked up the piece of paper, and opened it while she said, “This is the authorization certificate to go to the familiar breeding base in Encircle Town to choose a lower Extraordinary-class creature as your familiar.”

“This opportunity should have belonged to Peng Si’s son,” Peiling said with a shrug, “However, I don’t think he needs this opportunity anymore. By the way, Peng Si is the person who put up this reward. He’s also a senior researcher at the genetic research institute. ”

“I’ll leave these things to you. Do you have any other questions?” Peiling asked Ji An.

Hearing this, Ji An fell silent.

Even though Liu Tong had tactfully left after sending him to the bounty department, from the beginning to the end, the other party had given him a strange feeling, or perhaps more accurately, a dangerous feeling.

He had even caught glimpses of Liu Tong’s ill-intentioned look at the crimson blade mantis egg in his hand.

If he was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager, he might not have noticed the abnormality.

However, Ji An’s actual age was already close to 30.

In the later stages of his previous life, he had wandered around various large gathering places for more than ten years and had seen countless types of people.

How could he not notice Liu Tong’s malicious intent?

Even though nothing was absolute, he was still too weak and could not afford to be careless.

After some thought, Ji An bowed slightly to Peiling and said, “Lady Peiling, please allow me to inject the soul-awakening potion here.”

“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Peiling was a little surprised. Her beautiful eyes looked straight into Ji An’s eyes as if she wanted to see something in them.

Ji An was a little nervous under her gaze, but he couldn’t just voice his baseless suspicions.

“My Lady, a defenseless man will be guilty of possessing a piece of jade, and this bottle of awakening potion is that jade. It would be the safest if I could inject the potion at your place, my Lady.”

“You’ve got a good plan,” Peiling said, amused, “But I have to remind you that for ordinary people who have never meditated, the process of injecting the soul-awakening potion is somewhat dangerous. Even if I allow you to inject the potion here, whether you can succeed or not will depend on your willpower and luck.”

Ji An’s expression was filled with gratitude, “This is the greatest favor I can ask for.”

Peiling nodded lightly, “It just so happens that I haven’t observed the process of ordinary people injecting the awakening potion. Since you want to stay here to inject it, you can start.”

She then looked at Ji An with curiosity.

Ji An was naturally overjoyed. He hurriedly took out the syringe and began to prepare to inject the potion.

After using the syringe to empty the test tube, he clenched his jaw and inserted the needle into the vein of his left hand.

He pushed the syringe, and all the potion was pushed into his blood vessel.

Then, he pulled out the syringe.

By now, the potion had already circulated throughout his body through his blood.

A searing pain suddenly assaulted him, and even Ji An, who boasted of his strong willpower, was caught off guard.

Under the excruciating pain, Ji An, who had been standing, lost his balance and fell to the ground. He forced himself to support himself with one hand and half-knelt on the ground.

The veins on his face gradually bulged and his expression became extremely unsightly.

Ji An’s pained expression piqued Peiling’s interest.

Soon, Ji An, who had been half-kneeling on the ground, couldn’t hold on any longer and fell completely limp.

He curled up into a ball on the ground like a pitiful shrimp while letting out low, beast-like roars.

“It seems that the side effects of the awakening potion produced by the genetic research institute are still very strong. To think it can cause such pain,” Peiling clicked her tongue in wonder.

Ji An, who was curled up on the ground, could no longer hear Peiling’s sigh of amazement.

It hurt!

It hurt a lot!

His mind was completely filled with intense pain.

Waves of intense pain crashed against Ji An, who felt like he was a small wooden boat drifting in the wind and waves. It could capsize at any moment.

The extreme pain almost made Ji An faint, but he didn’t dare to let himself faint from the excruciating pain.

He was very clear about the characteristics of this potion. If he couldn’t hold on and fainted during the awakening process, the human body would activate an automatic protection mechanism which would cause the awakening potion to fail.

He could only hold on!

…

In the pain, Ji An’s sweat poured down like rain.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji An’s thin clothes were already drenched.

A small puddle had gathered on the ground where he was lying on.

One could imagine how much sweat he had shed.

Finally, the searing pain that was like a stormy sea could only retreat after letting out one last weak roar.

Ji An also realized that he had finally regained control of his body, which he had lost due to the intense pain.

He slowly stood up from the ground and used his right hand to wipe the sweat from his eyes that had blurred his vision.

Then, he felt a sudden warmth in his palm. He raised his hand only to see a white light appear on it.

“What is this?” Ji An was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed.

“This is the soul power. Congratulations on your successful awakening,” Peiling’s voice suddenly sounded.

Her tone was full of emotion and surprise.

As a beastmaster with astonishing perception, she could roughly sense the intense pain that the young man before her had experienced during the awakening process.

She didn’t expect that the other party would successfully pull through.

Ji An dragged his exhausted body and was about to bow slightly to thank Peiling when out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the wind chime princess, who was floating next to the latter.

The world before his eyes instantly became multicolored.

In Ji An’s eyes, the wind chime princess was like a 3D model that was being taken apart.

All kinds of physical parameters appeared before his eyes, one by one. It had no secrets before him.

From its body proportion, shoulder height, arm span, growth level, and energy level, everything was shown to him.

What surprised Ji An the most was the three rows of information that appeared under these parameters.
