I can go back to the mysterious age

Unlike the previous times of absorbing holy spring water, this time it was too refreshing and extremely satisfying. In the past, whether it was holy spring water obtained by completing tasks or hundreds of units of holy spring water resources exchanged for honor badges, it was just a drop in the bucket for a strong physique. It was like a long-dried land, with occasional light rain, which could not even fill the cracks in the soil. But now, it was directly flooded, and the dry desert suddenly turned into a swamp. There is no doubt that this is a kind of enjoyment.

Kaxiu could feel the layer after layer of warm invisible liquid seeping into the tough skin. It was like a cloud of misty water, passing through the muscles, moisturizing the fascia, and covering the surface of the bones. At this moment, it was like taking a hot spring bath, with waves from all directions like fingers gently patting, massaging and relaxing. It will soon allow the body to enter a transparent state.

The golden pool water was constantly absorbed and began to slowly drop at an inaudible speed. And the spring water above was constantly replenished, making the pool water drop more slowly. Kaxiu entered a free and undisciplined state. It was as if he was lying alone on a boat, swaying with the blue waves, heading towards an unknown direction. But at this moment, he did not relax his vigilance.

The two magical powers of the Holy Spring and the Secret Soul contain trace amounts of disasters. Just like an inconspicuous chronic toxin, a little bit at the beginning is nothing. As time goes by, the dosage increases, the toxin breaks out, and it becomes an almost incurable poisonous terminal illness.

After the Night Monsters master various powers from the Black Rain Villa, there will be extreme side effects. As the hunters continue to fight and replenish the Holy Spring water, the disaster in their bodies will also accumulate, and they will be unable to stop turning into beasts.

For intelligent life, especially humans.

Disaster is a highly toxic poison that cannot be cured.

Fortunately, the mysterious ancient Aoyin civilization seems to have left some means of restraint. The five cornerstone runes work by consuming energy with disasters. For example, Kaxiu's spiritual rune can easily absorb the essence of these ownerless disasters. Speaking of this, sometimes Kaxiu would actually guess whether the Aoyin civilization is an existence that fights against disasters or an existence that controls disasters. After all, using the essence of disaster as the driving energy of the five cornerstones, both directions are possible.

Of course, these are all wild fantasies. Kaxiu is still enjoying the convenience brought by the spiritual rune. The essence of disaster mixed in the holy spring water and absorbed into the body has just settled, and before it has time to penetrate, it was swept away by the spiritual rune. The black Ouroboros tattoo on the chest began to slowly rotate, silently operating.

Hualala... Hualala...

In the sound of the spring water falling on the surface of the pool, Kaxiu glanced at the back of his hand. There were 33 platinum-colored stigmata marks on it, and in addition, there were light gold stigmata that continued to grow and overlapped at the end of the platinum stigmata. After a while, the number of gold stigmata was the same as the number of platinum stigmata. A total of 66.

This number should have exceeded most shadow hunters.

The No. 1 shadow hunter Colossus Kasai only had 70 stigmata, while the black organ leader had 79 stigmata. This is the limit of their ability to resist the erosion of disasters at this stage, which is related to the strength of the body and the will of the spirit.

Of course, reaching the limit does not mean that they cannot continue to improve. People are adaptable. After a long period of coexistence, their tolerance for disasters has increased. Maybe they can increase their strength a little bit on the basis of the limit.

And this strength will not be much, at most three or five, at least one or two holy marks. In general, after becoming a shadow hunter, soaking in the holy spring water will most likely reach the limit of talent. The little bit of strength added afterwards is also a drop in the bucket and will not have a big increase.

Kaxiu now has 66 holy marks, which is actually the same as the second shadow hunter Louis. This is Louis' limit, but not Kaxiu's limit. His body is still absorbing the holy spring water, and the speed is still as hungry and violent as when he first absorbed it, with no sign of stopping.

Gradually, the number of holy marks on the back of his hand began to increase again.

...69, 70, 71...

Easily surpassed the first shadow hunter Kasai.

...78, 79, 80...

And surpassed the black machine leader.

At this time, Kaxiu found that the growth rate of the stigmata began to slow down gradually. It was not that he absorbed the holy spring water at a slower speed, but that his body seemed to have developed something similar to drug resistance. The higher the saturation of the stigmata, the more difficult it was to reach the limit or even perfection. So Kaxiu's previous calculation was actually wrong. He thought that only 2,400 units of holy spring water were needed to achieve perfect saturation, but the actual situation was different.

However, it didn't matter at all in the current situation.

Kaxiu soaked in the source of the holy spring and took the precious holy spring water directly for a bath. Even if the holy spring water required was far more than 2,400 units, so what? Ten times is only 60 liters, a drop in the bucket.

What's more, the consumption can't be increased tenfold at all.

This is the benefit of becoming a shadow hunter, the only chance to absorb the holy spring water recklessly until you reach your personal limit.

97, 98, 99...100!

One hundred stigmata are neatly arranged on the back of the hand, like a square block. The lower half is platinum, and the upper half is light gold. At first glance, it looks like a piece of gold foil.

According to Kaxiu's induction, the amount of Holy Spring Water absorbed this time was one-half more than expected. In other words, excluding the 33 platinum holy marks that already existed, the remaining 67 gold holy marks consumed about 2,400 units of Holy Spring Water. He made a little calculation and thought of the secret soul power he had already stored, and he was relieved.

Fortunately, he had made a reserve before and saved a lot more, otherwise the secret soul power would not be enough if it had the characteristic of greater consumption as it became more saturated.

Of course, Kaxiu did not do this on purpose. Instead, he took the Ghost Iron Knight to do the Black Rain Villa mission, and the rewards related to the world of disaster were quite rich. Unknowingly, he accumulated a huge amount of secret soul power in his hands.

Now, the holy spring water has reached a saturated state, and only the secret soul power remains to be absorbed. Kaxiu suddenly opened his eyes and found that the horizon was approaching dusk. He slowly stood up and exposed the back of his right hand. With a slight movement of his mind, the holy marks turned dim and disappeared on their own.

With a flickering gaze, Kaxiu hid the 33 platinum holy marks.

Only sixty-seven golden holy marks were left.

The energy of the holy spring water in his body reached saturation, and he felt extremely full and endless. It was not as rumored that if someone could reach 100 holy marks, they could generate a self-circulation in their body. Even if the holy marks were consumed in battle, there was no need to replenish the holy spring water, and those consumed holy marks would grow back automatically.

Kaxiu looked a little surprised, but did not continue to study, after all, the holy hunter Dilixiati was right next to him. He took a step and walked out of the pool. The holy spring water was not absorbed by the cloth at all, as if they were attracted to each other, and remained in the pool. Kaxiu slowly moved his body, and a crisp explosion sound came from his bones.

On the golden stone, Dilixiati opened his eyes and jumped down.

He slowly scanned the back of Kaxiu's hand and saw the appearance of sixty-seven golden stigmata. He nodded secretly: "Very good, your current limit is one higher than Louis. If the subsequent adaptation goes smoothly, it may exceed seventy, and even surpass Kasai." Dilixiati said in an appreciative and encouraging tone.

Kaxiu smiled and looked at the back of Dilixiati's hand: "What about you? I once heard that the black organ chief has seventy-nine."

Dilixiati shook his head, as if he had recognized Kaxiu, and generously showed the back of his hand. There were seventy-seven golden stigmata on it.

"Oh? It's only two less than the black organ chief, maybe..."

Kaxiu's eyes flickered slightly.

Dilixiati smiled and shook his head: "Do you believe all the rumors are true? There are also rumors that I can replace the organ chief, but what about the reality? The gap between him and me, hehe..."

He ended with a self-deprecating laugh.

Kaxiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from Dilixiati's reaction, the rumors might not be true. Or rather, it was real, but seventy-nine was the limit when the Black Organ Leader just became a Dark Hunter. The number of stigmata he later improved through willpower training was a mystery and was not counted. One or two at the least, three or five at the most? So 84?

In the end, Kaxiu did not get an answer from Dilixiati.

The two followed the procedure when they came, and returned to the Florentine City through the dark tunnel. And at this time, it was already night.

Kaxiu first came to the residence of the old hunter Heb, celebrated with a group of old hunters without excitement, and then returned to his single-family house. He took a black box and left the Dark Hunter headquarters at night.

He came to the outskirts of the city, a slightly familiar place. The last time Kaxiu met the Ghost Iron Knight was in this abandoned monastery.

The bright moon hung high on the branches, and the hazy clouds gathered. On the dark sky, dots of stars twinkled, and some similar ones vaguely formed various animal shapes. Next to the dead tree, a young man quietly looked up at the sky.

Wherever he looked, it seemed to be the Southern Dipper constellation.

Kaxiu looked for a while and seemed to have found the ever-changing Vulture and Star Python constellations. He retracted his sight and adjusted his state to the best.

This is the courtyard of the monastery, with dead grass all over the ground and gravel on the stone road. The windows of the pointed building are empty and dark, and there are spider webs entangled in the corners, which looks a bit gloomy. A dead tree stands in a corner of the courtyard, and there are broken stone tables and stone benches next to the tree.

Kaxiu sat on the stool, and on the table was a metal vessel that exuded a hint of coldness. Inside was 2,800 units of secret soul power.

He sat quietly for a while and slowly stretched out his right hand. The mark on the back of his hand was no longer concealed and turned back to 100. Kaxiu grabbed the metal vessel with his big hand, brought it in front of him, and drank it in one gulp like a generous thirsty drink of strong liquor. Suddenly, the cold and icy feeling permeated from head to toe.

When he drank enough, a deep palm print had been pinched on the solid metal vessel. Kaxiu put it down, exhaling a chilly breath. He felt as if he had just drunk liquid nitrogen, and his mouth, throat, and blood vessels were almost frozen.

Before his senses could ease, Kaxiu could already feel the reaction between the power of the secret soul and the holy spring water in his body. The expected drastic changes occurred, and the feeling of ice and fire was extremely sour and refreshing. The two special energies collided and merged violently under the catalysis of the body's blood. For a moment, it seemed as if every blood vessel in the body was wailing in pain.

Puff...

The skin of Kaxiu's body burst, and blood spurted out from nearly a hundred cracks, immediately dyeing the fabric of his clothes red. It looked extremely scary at first glance, but he didn't care and just used life vibration energy to repair the wounds. Subsequently, blood vessels throughout the body continued to burst and heal.

The blood surged again and again, forming a thick layer of blood scab on the surface of the body. Ka Xiu remained expressionless, staring at the back of his right hand.

The majority of the golden stigmata are being dyed in white gold.

From two-thirds to one-half, one-quarter...

Finally, the only remaining golden stigmata disappeared.

At this moment, a hundred holy marks turned into a hundred platinum holy marks!

The blood in Ka Xiu's body seemed to have been replaced by the blood of living creatures.

Suddenly, the stigmata on the back of his hand changed dramatically. The neatly arranged sacred marks rotated and rejoined, seeming to form a new pattern. At the same moment, Ka Xiu felt that the spiritual runes on his chest were also echoing each other, with a burning feeling. More than ten seconds passed, the brilliant white gold color stopped, and a pattern appeared.

This is an equilateral triangle, with thirty-three platinum holy marks on each side that overlap and piece together. In the middle of the equilateral triangle, there is a platinum holy mark connecting the vertex and perpendicular to the other side.

Life runes? Or the rune of life?

It's certainly not a runic body, but it seems to have quite the ability.

Card Xiu stood up with great interest and decided to test the effect of the Perfect Platinum Stigmata. He decisively added it to Nandou Boxing.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang...

Card Xiu's clothes actually exploded with dozens of holes, as if he had been hit by a hail of bullets. Each hole corresponds to the location of the two Nan Dou Quan techniques. He immediately took off all his clothes.

Thirty-one Nandou Red Eagle Fist acupoints exude scarlet color.

Thirty-one Nan Dou Yin Snake Fist acupoints emit rich purple light.

The two actually began to echo each other, not only echoing each other, but also having a direct connection with the twinkling frequency of the Giant Vulture and Star Python in the sky. Ka Xiu immediately sat cross-legged, clasped his hands, and looked up at the sky. The blue pupils reflected the bright star pattern in the sky.

Click, click, click… click, click…

There was a sudden cracking sound in the body. It was not a substantial physical damage, but a drastic change in the constructed Nandou virtual meridians.

The two Nandou framework systems that originally went their own way and had distinct Weijing structures were actually compressed and overlapped! It was as if the blood vulture slowly lowered its sharp claws and grabbed the python's body. The sound python wrapped around the blood vulture's wings in reverse, wrapping it tighter and tighter. In this process of mutual repulsion and strange symbiosis, Ka Xiu felt an unprecedented power...

It's not that I want to stop, it's that I haven't thought about the power of this...
