A tube of light green liquid lay inside the silver-white box, nestled in soft sponge and secured with a Buckle, protected extremely carefully.
“A gift?”
After opening the Buckle, Kong Ji shook the tube. In the morning light, its light green contents looked just like ordinary water, with nothing unusual about them.
However, after opening it and taking a light sniff, Kong Ji immediately sensed a familiar, refreshing coolness.
It was the sensation of coming into contact with White Mist.
Kong Ji was startled. After sensing it carefully, he became even more astonished.
The liquid actually emanated a faint White Mist Aura from within, giving off the feeling that it contained an immense Life force.
“What is this? It actually has the Aura of White Mist?”
Kong Ji was deeply shocked.
White Mist had always slowly dissipated with the Black Hole as its center. So far, it had only covered a radius of around 500 meters.
Once it left this range, the White Mist would rapidly be consumed, without exception.
That included Kong Ji himself.
The Cultivation Power brought by the Perfect Grade Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong could at most have its Consumption slowed by forcibly refraining from circulating or using it. It was impossible for there to be no Consumption forever. The Strength within the body would always slowly dissipate; at most, the process would be slower.
Yet this tube of liquid had overturned common sense.
Even on the vast grassland beyond the reach of White Mist, the White Mist Aura within the liquid showed no sign of Consumption. Or rather, its rate of Consumption was astonishingly slow; in any case, Kong Ji could not sense much of a difference.
“What kind of liquid is this? It completely overturns common sense. How Strange!”
Kong Ji suddenly became Curious.
Zhang Zhaoyang said, “Superhuman Serum.”
“Superhuman Serum?”
Kong Ji thought for a moment, then shook his head. “It doesn’t feel like a serum. It seems more like an extract from some kind of Plant.”
Most serums were pale yellow liquids separated out through coagulation from blood, and they were extremely troublesome to preserve. They had to be stored at low temperatures; otherwise, they would easily deteriorate and lose their intended Effect.
Although the liquid before them had been well protected inside the box, it clearly did not require a low-temperature environment, and its color was also very different.
“Then I’m not sure either.”
Zhang Zhaoyang shook his head. “I learned about it from the Captives. Apparently, it is the latest liquid developed by M Country. It can improve the Human body’s efficiency in absorbing White Mist, with an increase of more than 80 percent at most.”
“The Shark Squad sent by M Country this time had all been injected with this serum. That was why they had enough Strength to contend with the External Affairs combat personnel. Otherwise, they would not have had any chance at all.”
“Moreover, the reason the elite agents of Various Countries were willing to unite and follow the orders of the people from M Country was that M Country had promised to provide each country with a tube of serum. However, because we launched our Attack too quickly, they did not have Time to destroy everything. That was how we managed to seize one tube with such difficulty.”
“I see.”
Kong Ji suddenly realized. “I was wondering why the elite agents of those countries, who have always fought independently, would all listen to the people from M Country. So it was because of this Superhuman Serum.”
“That’s right.”
Zhang Zhaoyang said, “At the time, I didn’t know what it was either. I only found out after seizing it. But I don’t know much about research, so I simply gave it to you as a gift.”
“Let’s set aside whether it’s a gift or not. The fact that you managed to seize a tube definitely counts as a great achievement.” Kong Ji smiled. “The people from M Country really have lost both their wife and their soldiers this time. Not only did they underestimate your Strength and cause the operation to fail, but they have now delivered such an important liquid to us as well. They’ve suffered a huge loss.”
“I’m very interested in this gift of yours.”
“The Superhuman Serum contains an important Secret. It may very well bring new developments to the Base’s research on White Mist.”
Holding the tube of Superhuman Serum, Kong Ji immediately thought of a certain indispensable technique in cultivation.
“Really? I’m glad you like it.”
“It’s a pity there’s only one tube. It would have been great if we could have seized eight or ten.”
At this moment, Zhang Zhaoyang looked nothing like the ruthless man he had been on the battlefield. Instead, he resembled an Ordinary Person grinning foolishly.
Seeing this, Kong Ji also smiled.
The matter on the grassland was settled.
The battlefield was thoroughly cleared, and everyone returned to the Base.
As soon as he entered the Base, Kong Ji went to find Li Dingyuan.
“Professor, let me show you something.”
“What?”
Li Dingyuan, who had been busy, came back to his senses and saw the Superhuman Serum in Kong Ji’s hand.
“This is a Captured Weapon from the battle, a liquid called Superhuman Serum. It is the latest Technology developed by the people from M Country. It can greatly help the Human body improve its efficiency in absorbing White Mist. Its Effect is comparable to the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique.”
“What?”
Li Dingyuan had initially paid it no mind, but when he heard that the Effect of the Superhuman Serum was comparable to the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique, he was immediately astonished. “Is that true?”
“It’s true.”
Kong Ji recounted what had happened with the Shark Squad.
“All of these people had been injected with Superhuman Serum. Their Strength was extremely Powerful, no weaker than the people from the External Affairs department. The leader among them was especially remarkable. According to Zhaoyang’s judgment, that person should have been able to face three people practicing the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique at once without falling behind.”
“However, against him, they were simply crushed. They failed to inflict any damage.”
“Xiao Zhang’s Strength can be called the highest Human record to date. It is only natural that they could not defeat him.” Li Dingyuan waved his hand. “But if you say they were no weaker than the others, then that truly exceeds my expectations.”
“The Thirty-Six Orifice Technique can be called one of the best methods in the entire World for utilizing White Mist. I consider it second only to the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong you developed. I never expected that a Superhuman Serum would appear as well.”
“The scientific research capabilities of the people from M Country are indeed unfathomable.”
Li Dingyuan could not help but Sigh with Emotion.
Without Kong Ji’s appearance, who knew when the development of the Thirty-Six Orifice Technique would have been completed? Perhaps Domestic efforts would still have accomplished nothing even now.
The fact that the people from M Country were able to develop Superhuman Serum proved that their Scientific Research capabilities alone were absolutely worthy of the title of the World’s number-one Da Guo.
“The people from M Country are indeed Powerful,” Kong Ji agreed. “Moreover, the Superhuman Serum contains White Mist Aura that does not dissipate. If we could research and reproduce it, allowing our people to take this liquid while practicing their Cultivation Methods, that would be wonderful.”
“It seems you brought it here because you want me to study its ingredients?” Li Dingyuan asked.
“Yes.”
Kong Ji nodded. “I know absolutely nothing about liquid medicines. You are a Medical expert, so perhaps you can figure it out. Besides, I feel that it does not resemble a serum. Instead, it seems to be something else, perhaps an extract from some kind of Plant?”
“But that is only my guess.”
Kong Ji explained the reasons for his suspicion. After listening, Li Dingyuan carefully examined the Superhuman Serum and expressed his agreement. He then picked up the liquid, opened it, and took a sniff. He could not help frowning. “It has a very Strange smell. It really could be some kind of Plant.”
“How about this? Leave it with me. Later, I’ll find a few experts in Plants and liquid medicines to take a look.”
“I’ll notify you immediately if I receive any Message.”
Kong Ji replied, “Good! If it really is an extract from some kind of Plant, then I have a new idea.”
