Weird Wizarding World

   is accompanied by the movements of Yiguang Breathing.

  The energy in Colin's flesh and blood was efficiently extracted and turned into a trickle, constantly nourishing the blood gas mass in the lower abdomen and slowly growing.

  During this process, the crystalline shell of the Heart of the Ancient Tree at the chest gradually dissolved a little bit, releasing a faint heat flow.

   After a short period of time, after the complete practice of Yiguang Breathing Method twice, the flesh and blood energy in the body is basically exhausted.

   Colin stopped and waited for the ancient tree's heart crystal to release the heat flow and restore the energy of the body.

   He closed his eyes and stared at the crystal of the heart of the ancient tree in his chest.

  ‘If the thickness of the crystalline shell just now is comparable to that of an egg shell, then at most it will only be superimposed with a few sheets of white paper at most... The progress is good. ’

   After observing for a moment, Colin came to a conclusion.

   At this time, the energy in his flesh and blood has been replenished again. He opened his eyes and continued to practice Yiguang breathing.

   But this time, after practicing twice.

  Kolin was surprised to find that the change in the crystalline shell of the Heart of the Ancient Tree on his chest this time was only minimal compared to the previous time.

   About one-fifth of the last absorbed amount.

   At the same time, perhaps because of this, the heat flow released is relatively small, resulting in the recovery of the flesh and blood energy in the body is not as fast as last time.

  'The further you go, the harder it is to absorb...' Colin pondered.

   He took a breath, his face remained unchanged, and he quietly waited for the recovery of the flesh and blood energy in his body.

   This is the case with many things, and the more difficult it gets later... He was already mentally prepared.

   At least there is golden paper. As long as he keeps practicing, he will never stop progressing until he reaches the limit.

The same is true for    absorbing the Heart of the Ancient Tree.

  Even though the absorption rate has slowed down a bit, it is estimated that the moment when the outer shell is completely absorbed and comes into contact with its core essence will be within the next few days.

   After about half an hour, the flesh and blood energy in the body recovered.

   He practiced Iko breathing again.

   So back and forth, until the sunset and dusk.

  In the front yard of the villa shrouded in dim sky.

  Click.

   A small voice sounded from Colin's heart.

   He exhaled a turbid breath and slowly stopped.

   The light of the sunset on the horizon outlines his tall and straight body.

   If you look closely, you can also find that the color of the ground under his feet seems to be darker than elsewhere.

   It was a trace of sweat soaking.

  Colin focused on the crystals in his chest.

   An invisible crack appeared on the left side of the crystal!

  'Unfortunately... it was split from the inside and failed to penetrate the entire shell. ’

  Colin opened his eyes, sighed, and went into the house to prepare for meditation.

  November 11th of the Yanan calendar.

   In the restaurant of Villa 5.

  Colin is looking at the announcement of the Supreme Council sent today.

   Since Hawthorn sent an announcement three days ago, this kind of behavior seems to have become routine.

   Every morning, there will be announcements delivered on time, and some other newspapers are attached these days, such as the daily newspaper dedicated to Meredith City.

   As for the magic stone that Renee paid, the great knight who sent the announcement did not stubbornly refuse it as he thought, but chose to accept it calmly.

   This made him feel a little more favorable towards the real estate developer who knew how to advance and retreat.

   Nothing major happened in the Supreme Council Proclamation on November 10.

   It’s just that in the daily newspaper of Meredith City, there is an interesting news—

  The elf slave trade, which has been banned for thousands of years, has become legal again in the market, and the prices of elves' items have plummeted... It seems to be affected by the war.

   Traitors are always more hateful after all.

   Closing the newspaper, Colin got up and came to the courtyard to start a new day of practice.

   eyes closed.

  The crystallization of the heart of the ancient tree in the chest is already covered with cracks, densely packed like spider webs.

   looks fragile and seems to be broken at a touch.

  ‘Maybe today? ’

   Colin's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to do the traction technique meticulously.

  The sun rises gradually, depicting the sparkling light on the Lepo River.

   The lively voice came from a distance, but when we arrived at the villa, it had become faint, making it even more silent.

   In this section of the river that belongs to the villa area, no fishermen will come here on weekdays, and no women will do laundry here.

   Even passers-by, most of them pass by in a hurry and will not stay for long.

   for fear of disturbing the nobles who live here.

   In the silence, the rushing of the river, the rustling of the breeze, the chirping of insects and birds... These sounds that you might not care about on weekdays have become the main theme.

until-

   There is a substantive crisp click sound!

  “?”

   Renee was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard reading books as usual, and occasionally glanced at the diligent master in the courtyard.

   However, the crisp click interrupted her thoughts and made her raise her head involuntarily.

   "Take Demi and the others to the basement for a while."

   Before Ke Renee could react, she saw Colin's expression solemn and joyful, and commanded her in a deep voice.

   "Yes, Master." Renee nodded without hesitation, and then greeted Demi and the elf Nasi to the basement.

   Colin took a breath and waved his hand to set up sorcery in the courtyard, preventing sound and light from coming out.

   After doing this, he seemed to have endured to the limit, and he hurriedly continued to practice Yiguang breathing.

  唰—!

   followed him with every move.

  The crystallization of the heart of the ancient tree at the chest seemed to have a chain reaction, and the cracked shell continued to shatter along the position where a small piece was just peeled off.

   In the blink of an eye, the crystalline shell of the Heart of the Ancient Tree was completely shattered!

gold…

   Indescribable noble gold.

   Those gilt-like liquid substances lost the restraint of their original hard shell, and could no longer maintain their gem-like shape, spreading out evenly around them.

"Well!"

   Colin's pupils shrank, and he could not help but let out a muffled groan.

   At the moment when the liquid substance like lava came into contact with the flesh, it seemed that he was really in contact with the scorching lava, and he only felt a sharp burning pain!

   This incomparably overbearing energy seems to be beyond what his body can currently bear.

When    cells come into contact with one of them, even if they are not strengthened, they are instantly eroded and destroyed, showing a state like being burned.

   At this time, the talent of strong life is stimulated and starts to operate spontaneously.

  Under its powerful effect, those scorched flesh and blood cells are continuously healed and destroyed, temporarily maintaining the balance.

   It's just that the heat can't disappear out of thin air, and the invisible heat wave is centered on Colin and radiates toward the surroundings.

  The extremely high temperature even instantly evaporated the moisture of the grass on the ground, making the grass brown.

   Fortunately, Renee had taken Demi and Naxi to the basement at this time, and there was no one else in the courtyard.

   He gritted his teeth, and subconsciously continued to perform the Yiguang breathing method.

   The blood gas mass in the lower abdomen slowly rotated, absorbing the energy in the flesh.

   Gradually, he also began to absorb the "heat flow" in his chest that was far more powerful than before.

   A flash of relief flashed across Colin's distressed face.

   His intuition was right, such a move really relieved the pain.

   Colin emptied his brain and let his body subconsciously control himself to repeatedly practice Yiguang breathing.

   That's it, I don't know how long it has passed.

   The liquid substance in the chest is less, and the pain has been greatly relieved. He can finally devote some energy to check himself.

   Seeing this, Colin was shocked.

   Under the vision of mental power, the blood mass in his body has almost changed.

   The original blood gas mass is almost colorless, or has a slightly reddish energy mass.

   However, at this moment, the blood gas mass has been dyed into blue-gold color. Not only is the color changed, but the state is also denser and thicker than before.

  If the original blood gas mass was a thin mist, then the energy mass at this time is like solid cotton.

  Blood energy is different from magic power, which basically stays in the sea of ​​magic power. Blood energy will flow back and forth between the limbs and the lower abdomen with the flow of blood.

   So when Colin discovered the mutation of the blood gas mass in the lower abdomen, it also meant that the blood gas after these mutations had spread all over his body along with the blood.

   After he realized this, a somewhat familiar but different feeling gradually became clear—

   It's like... the physical enhancement of the advanced knight?

   Gradually, the numbness replaced the pain and gained the upper hand.

  Colin focused his attention, and his consciousness circulated throughout his body along with his blood.

  During this process, he could clearly see that in the places where the blood flowed, every piece of flesh and blood tissue seemed to be nourished invisibly, and there was a faint glow of fluorescent light flowing.

   A powerful and full sense of power arises spontaneously.

   has not waited for him to observe more.

   A burst of pain suddenly came from the lower abdomen.

   Colin's heart froze, realizing that this was because the blood energy had reached its limit.

   So he stopped practicing Yiguang breathing and turned to traction.

  Under the action of the traction technique, the blood gas mass is continuously rotated and compressed, and the color is getting darker and darker.

   Gradually, from the original light blue with some gold, it became a solid and thick blue-gold color like an ancient bronze.

   Stopped the Yiguang breathing method, the absorption efficiency of the liquid substance in the chest decreased, and the pain gradually increased.

   But fortunately, the traction technique also has a certain ability to strengthen the blood energy, and it can also promote the absorption of liquid substances, so the pain for a while is still tolerable.

   For almost the entire morning, Colin repeated this process.

   Constantly jumping horizontally between Traction and Iguang Breathing.

   Of course, the effect is also very impressive.

   He could feel that his strength was getting bigger and bigger, and his speed had obviously improved.

   Not to mention the blood gas mass in the body, although the volume is even smaller than before.

   But the quality of light is almost ten times more than the original!

   Even if the strengthening process is stopped, he has already completed his original purpose and completed the strengthening of the foundation of his body!

   Even far exceeds the average standard of ten times the level of a large knight!

   Yet Colin hasn't stopped, or, in other words, can't stop.

   The liquid substance in the chest has not been completely absorbed, and it is still causing damage.

   If he hadn't had a strong life talent, he would have been eroded and destroyed by these energies long ago.

   However, the liquid substance in the Heart of Ancient Tree crystal is like her shell, and the further back you go, the harder it is to absorb.

   Of course, the higher the quality of the energy, which is a good thing...if the pain doesn't increase with it.

  In this way, until night fell, Colin finally absorbed most of the crystalline liquid matter of the heart of the ancient tree in his chest.

   Only the last drop left…

   "Ani Rase—!"

   In the dim sky, a strange whisper sounded in Colin's ear.

   He suddenly opened his eyes.

  The burning sensation in his chest disappeared for some time.

   However, Colin understood that the heart of the ancient tree in his chest had not been completely absorbed by him.

   One last drop left...or rather, one.

   A strange golden substance in the shape of a seed.

   An unpleasant feeling arises spontaneously in Colin's heart.

   "Anilasser—" The strange whispering in his ear continued.

  Colin looked around the silent surroundings, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

  Under such a murmur, he had a strange urge to find a suitable place and bury himself in the soil!

   is like thinking of yourself as a seed.

  ‘In this world, there is really nothing that can be gained for nothing! ’

  Colin raised the corners of his mouth, his face bitter.

   But sitting still is not his style!

   He restrained his expression and continued to practice Yiguang breathing without hesitation!

  The seed hidden in the crystalline core of the heart of the ancient tree, no matter how peculiar its appearance is, it is still a part of the heart of the ancient tree after all.

   As long as it belongs to the heart of the ancient tree, it should be able to be absorbed by the optimized Yiguang breathing method after the limit is broken!

  OM—

   Following his movements, the golden seed trembled slightly, and a faint golden mist spread from its surface.

   But the next moment, the seeds seemed to sense something was wrong and light up slightly.

   Those golden mists seemed to be affected by some kind of suction, and they shrank back in the blink of an eye.

  Colin calmed down, didn't think much, and continued to meticulously practice Yiguang breathing.

   So, after a while.

   After he had completely completed the practice of Yiguang breathing method.

  A strange change occurred immediately.

   Pale golden particles converge.

   on that golden paper between the unreal and the real.

Behind the   Iguang breathing method, as usual, the symbol ↑ flashed to represent the improvement.

   At the same time, the golden seed on the chest suddenly shrank a circle, and a thin golden mist diffused from its surface.

  OM—

  The golden seed shines brilliantly.

   But it didn't work at all.

   Those golden mists that were not affected, like the liquid substances before, flowed unswervingly to Colin’s lower abdomen.

   Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Anyone who cultivates will make progress.

   This is the underlying principle of golden paper.

   Even in the face of the remnants of the ancient tree of life.

   He closed his eyes again and continued to practice Yiguang breathing.

"Um?"

   But the next moment, he suddenly noticed a difference.

   When those golden mists came to the lower abdomen, they did not blend into the blood mass as he thought, so that it nourishes and expands.

   Instead, it passed through the blood gas that was already liquid on the periphery, and came directly to the most core position—

   is also where the seed of life is located.

   Then, it slowly melted into the seeds of life.

   At first Colin thought it was something unexpected happened.

   But the golden mist that drifted out was just energy in essence, and at most it was a little special. And under the action of gold paper, it has been completely tamed.

   The body and intuition didn't show the slightest difference.

   So he didn't think much about it and continued to practice Yiguang breathing.

  As the golden seeds continued to decrease in size, the whispers in his ears gradually became weak and intermittent.

   About two hours passed.

   Under the continuous absorption, the golden seeds on Colin's chest were finally completely consumed.

  The moment when the golden seeds are consumed.

   In a dark and boundless starry sky.

   An indescribable giant tree seemed to tremble slightly. His body was comparable to a planet, and it was unimaginably huge and stalwart.

   However, this slight movement was fleeting, and He regained his composure, as if he didn't care.

   On the other side, in the courtyard.

   Colin hasn't opened his eyes yet.

   The seeds of life in the lower abdomen seem to have accumulated to a certain amount, and have undergone a qualitative change.

  Kacha, the seed of his life, at a certain moment... cracked.

   In other words, growth and sprouting.

  Like a spring silkworm spinning silk, thin golden filaments like the veins of leaves gushing out from the seeds of life, wrapping the azure-gold blood energy that has completely turned into a liquid state.

   In the blink of an eye, a complex, oval-shaped tissue is formed.

   The whole process was extremely fast, and when Colin reacted, everything was settled.

  ‘This is… a new organ? ’

  ‘Extraordinary organs? ’
