Check in to become stronger in Devouring Star

Jiangnan Pavilion, underground secret chamber.

"It's starting," Qin Hao felt a surge of heat rapidly flowing along the skin coated with dragon whiskers, integrating into his body and coursing through every part.

Chest, back, hands, feet, head – soon, this heat enveloped everything. Moreover, the heat continued to intensify, gradually becoming scorching. Simultaneously, the dragon blood on the skin's surface rapidly diminished, seeping deep within.

Qin Hao felt his body begin to ache as the dragon blood integrated, a subtle tremor running through him. It was as if countless ants were gnawing at his body from within.

"As expected, the process of absorbing dragon blood is indeed extremely painful, but this little bit of pain is also the beginning of bodily transformation," Qin Hao gritted his teeth, enduring. He had anticipated the pain of absorbing dragon blood.

Suppressing the pain, Qin Hao sat cross-legged, adjusting his posture, attempting to enter the meditative state of Five Hearts Facing Heaven. However, this cultivation method required a calm mind, and the pain constantly disrupted Qin Hao's concentration.

Nevertheless, after repeated attempts, Qin Hao's mind gradually calmed down. The pain in his body remained, but at this moment, it was as if his soul had separated from his body.

As Qin Hao entered the meditative state of Five Hearts Facing Heaven, the surrounding cosmic energy stirred, surging towards Qin Hao's body.

The tingling and pain of dragon blood absorption collided with the comfort of cosmic energy absorption, causing Qin Hao's body to rapidly transform.

At the same time, the Scarlet Firmament Nine Heavens Diagram began to operate automatically, continuously absorbing dragon blood and cosmic energy, integrating them into Qin Hao's skin and muscles.

The transformation from dragon blood, the absorption of cosmic energy, and the operation of the Scarlet Firmament Nine Heavens Diagram placed Qin Hao's body in a state of rapid transformation.

This transformation permeated every part of his body, even reaching the genetic material within his cells. Cultivation in the Swallowed Star inherently involved enhancing physical strength and undergoing genetic metamorphosis, improving and perfecting genes through cultivation.

In this world, the Scarlet Firmament Nine Heavens Diagram had become a technique for enhancing genetic levels. Driven by both, Qin Hao's genes changed even more rapidly, with waste cells and impurities constantly being expelled, and grime-like substances continuously seeping out of his pores.

At this moment, Qin Hao's body was undergoing a dual transformation: the completion and enhancement of genes at the cellular level, and astonishing changes in the physical realm, including skin, bones, muscles, fascia, and internal organs. This process was not only about becoming stronger but also about a comprehensive transformation in terms of resilience, defense, and power.

The increase in strength during this process was thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than usual, so Qin Hao dared not waste a single second.

Waves of pain repeatedly swept over him, but Qin Hao constantly guarded his mind, sensing the changes in his body, and continuously mastering these changes, comprehending the control of power.

However, even so, Qin Hao had merely persevered. Although his body was now full of power, his mind was extremely exhausted. The moment he completed his cultivation and his mind relaxed, he fell asleep immediately.

"Why hasn't Qin Hao come out yet?" Zhao Ruo stared at the pavilion on the east side of Jiangnan Pavilion, saying with concern. It was Qin Hao's first day in the elite training camp, but he had already become a formal member, about to go out to the No. 1001 base city for hunting.

This was also the daily routine of the elite training camp members: going out to hunt, cultivate, and improve in actual combat and cultivation.

"Don't worry, there's still an hour, he'll make it. Qin Hao just arrived at the training camp, he might not be used to it yet," Shi Jiang said from the side, his impression of Qin Hao was still good. They were both from Jiangnan base city, and the military had also instructed him to win Qin Hao over.

In less than half a day after Qin Hao entered the elite training camp, all major forces around the world had received notifications from their respective students in the training camp, and they had also collected all of Qin Hao's information. It had been less than two months since he officially became a martial artist, and he had already joined the elite training camp. Every force would seize the opportunity to win over such a genius.

Especially the Huaxia military, as a local force, had a clearer understanding of Qin Hao, especially Qin Hao's experience during the actual combat assessment, which was placed before the military's senior leaders.

In the secret chamber, Qin Hao opened his eyes, stood up, and felt the powerful strength in his body. He went directly to the punch target next to him and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The huge noise echoed throughout the secret chamber, and the numbers on the display screen jumped rapidly, eventually stopping at 102300KG.

"102300 kilograms, more than doubled, not far from intermediate God of War," looking at the data, Qin Hao nodded in satisfaction.

It had been less than three months since he became a martial artist, and he was already a God of War. Surpassing God of War wouldn't be too far away. He wondered what reward he would get next time he checked in.

Thinking, Qin Hao opened the secret chamber and walked out directly.

"It's already morning," looking at the sunlight outside, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time passed during cultivation. He got the dragon blood in the afternoon, and now it had been more than 10 hours.

"Qin Hao, you finally came out, hurry up, you have to go out hunting today, you're going to be late," Zhao Ruo saw the door open and walked quickly towards Qin Hao.

"Ugh," as soon as she approached Qin Hao, Zhao Ruo quickly covered her nose and stepped back, "Qin Hao, what's wrong with you, what's that smell on you?"

Looking at Zhao Ruo retreating, Qin Hao looked at himself, covered in grime, all the impurities expelled during this transformation, accompanied by a strange smell. A bloody smell with a foul odor.

"Wait for me for a while," Qin Hao quickly returned to the room, washed up, and came to the secret chamber again. He opened the password box and first put on a black glove.

After putting on the glove, Qin Hao felt a sting in his finger, and the black glove quickly spread, turning into a black training suit. This glove was the reward this time, the Black God Suit.

"With this Black God Suit, I can save my life even when facing advanced lords," thinking, Qin Hao put on the SS-level combat suit in the box, took the long knife, and appeared outside the pavilion again.
