Chapter 263 - 130: Hai Jifeng’s Path_2
"Until one day, a friend of mine suddenly said to me. The constraints of innate talent are often the oppressions caused by bottlenecks. I am good at explosive power, so what if I could overcome these limitations by utilizing this explosive power? He said he saw a drug at an auction that could stimulate people’s potential, giving them greater strength in a short time. He thought that I could give it a try, to see if I could break through to the 5th rank with this method."
"Back then, I was desperate for a breakthrough and didn’t think much. I simply bought the drug. Only after buying it did I learn it is called ’Blood Incineration’. It could stimulate potential, but it came at the cost of lifespan. As for how much it was, there were no specific figures. Only later did I realize that the friend who had offered me advice did not have any good intentions. He was envious because a girl he liked had always liked me instead and so he offered me this advice."
"Nevertheless, I tried it. At that time, I was somewhat obsessed. I was desperate to improve myself at any cost. The first time I saw the 6 Great God’s Seal Cathedras Rex statues in the Knights Temple, I had an irresistible urge to become a God’s Seal knight. So I took the Blood Incineration Pill."
"The effect of the Blood Incineration Pill was dominant. When I took it, I felt like my whole body was burning but my latent power was really being stimulated. The feeling of the explosion of stimulating power was exhilarating. I even reached the edge of liquefied spiritual power. I desperately tested these external forces, also consuming a lot of my own lifespan. It was then that I met her..."
At this point, Hai Jifeng paused. His usual serious expression softened, "It was that girl who had always been fond of me. The friend who told me about the Blood Incineration Pill, realizing that I was planning to take it, confessed his feelings to her. He inadvertently let it slip from his mouth, which she found out. She was a priestess and her family was very wealthy. She used various precious drugs and the healing power of a priestess to stabilize my lifespan, helped me to interrupt the effect of the Blood Incineration Pill, and restored my life energy."
With a bitter smile, Hai Jifeng suddenly slapped himself, "I hated that I had been blinded by power at the time and only wanted to advance to the 5th Rank. Instead of being grateful to her, I repudiated her for interrupting my cultivation and advancement. I still remember the disappointment and sadness in her eyes at that time. She told me that I had gone mad, then she turned and ran."
"At that time, I was single-minded in wanting to achieve the 5th rank. Even when she healed me, I still continued to cultivate, trying to recover the feeling I had before. That was when I accidentally developed the skill ’Explosive Burst’. At that time, by using the remaining drug power in my bloodline and the state of explosive burst, I successfully advanced to the 5th rank. Finally, I obtained the liquid spiritual power. It was only then that I woke up, but it was too late. She was gone. I regretted it, I wanted to find her, at least to apologize to her. But she always refused to see me. Perhaps she really thought I was crazy."
Long Dangdang couldn’t help but ask, "So you’ve never seen her again?"
Hai Jifeng nodded, "She always avoided me, intentionally staying away from places where I was. I have tried to find her a few times, but I haven’t seen her again. Come to think of it, she was my savior. If it weren’t for her medicines at that time, the Blood Incineration Pill would have taken half of my life away and there would be no future for me. Since developing Explosive Burst, I embarked on a dangerous path that belongs to me. It indeed solved the problem of my lack of talent. The main danger lies in whether my body can withstand it."
