Chapter 647 - 201: The Battle Array System Is Too Brutal
"Li Zheng student, have you ever been in contact with any Taboo Energy or Taboo Ritual?"
"No," Li Zheng answered without hesitation.
A moment later, the Rune Doctor’s voice rang out again:
"Li Zheng student, have you experienced any physical mutations, such as limb deformities, energy leakage, organ failure, etc.?"
"No."
...
After answering dozens of questions, the Rune Doctor once again began controlling the energy arms to conduct a physical examination.
After a long time, the Rune Doctor’s voice returned:
"The examination is complete. Your physical condition basically meets the transplant requirements. Next, we will prepare for the organ transplant. Keep your body relaxed, do not resist."
Li Zheng nodded and took a deep breath, knowing that the real test was just beginning.
Soon, the manifested energy arm handed over a bottle of dark red potion.
Li Zheng accepted the potion and drank it all at once.
The potion tasted bitter with a hint of a metallic sweetness, transforming into a warm current after swallowing, quickly spreading throughout his body.
He felt like his body was wrapped in a layer of gentle energy, even breathing became much smoother, and his spirit was calmed, significantly easing his tension.
But this potion clearly wasn’t meant for anesthesia.
According to the pre-transformation instructions, he knew that during the organ transplant process, he needed to remain conscious at all times.
During this period, he would also need to answer the Rune Doctor’s inquiries, ensuring that no unnoticed abnormal reactions occurred during the adaptation of the talent organs to the body.
Once the potion’s effect melted within the body, the surgery officially began.
The energy arm in the air pulled out a pair of eyes emitting a faint blue glow from somewhere.
The energy arm gently tapped the eyes, the runic patterns on the surface gradually lighting up, waking and activating them.
"Li Zheng student, close your eyes."
He decisively complied with the Rune Doctor’s request and closed his eyelids.
He suddenly felt his eyelids being lifted by some force, followed by intense pain. He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan, the veins bulging on his forehead.
His fists clenched instinctively, nails digging into flesh.
The potency of the potion consumed earlier erupted at this moment, quickly suppressing the pain.
This feeling was quite peculiar, being able to sense the pain, but it seemed like there was a barrier between his consciousness and the pain, making the sensation feel unfamiliar.
What Li Zheng couldn’t see was that the energy arm wielded a bone-made surgical knife, shattering both of his eyeballs into a bloody mist and absorbing them away.
Subsequently, the energy arm drew thin, thread-like nerve endings from his eye sockets and connected them to the suspended pair of faint blue eyes, each nerve connection accompanied by a flickering rune on the eyeball. During this time, the energy arm would cut the threads and reconnect them, continuously adjusting to ensure compatibility.
Li Zheng could feel the pain, but it was like there was a thick glass between them, making it less distinct.
As time passed, the two faint blue eyes, propelled by the invisible force released by the energy arm, entered Li Zheng’s sockets.
"Li Zheng student, the implantation of the Nether Eye has been completed, but I have a question that I hope you can answer for me."
"Mm, please ask."
"Your physical condition is very special. I don’t know how to describe it... Perhaps it could be described as pure. I’ve never seen a body state like yours; typically, the transplantation of talent organs is accompanied by intense discomfort."
"Even with my harmonization, the body would exhibit some rejection reactions towards new organs. These rejection reactions might manifest as organ conflict, nerve pain, or even organ function disorder, but your body is different."
The Rune Doctor’s voice held a hint of incredulity as it continued:
"After the successful implantation of the Nether Eye, your body surprisingly didn’t exhibit any rejection reaction. The new organs have perfectly integrated with your physique, the energy circuits are unobstructed, and even the nerve connections were exceptionally smooth. I initially thought it was sheer luck finding a suitable nerve circuit, but after changing the nerve connection circuits I found it still perfectly adaptable... I’ve never encountered such a situation."
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng remained incredibly calm.
Being a player, having some uniqueness is quite reasonable.
"Perhaps my constitution is somewhat special," Li Zheng responded, his tone carrying a hint of modesty.
The Rune Doctor’s voice came again:
"No, it isn’t just a question of having a special constitution; your body is like a blank slate, without any impurities or energy residues. This pure state is as if... it has never been polluted by any energy, allowing me to paint freely upon it."
Upon discovering Li Zheng’s silence, the Rune Doctor ceased further inquiries:
"I’ll record your condition, and perhaps in the future, I’ll seek you out once more, continuing the transplant modification of talent organs. Now, try opening your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng slowly opened his eyelids.
Suddenly, a slight stinging sensation emerged, the scene before him blurred and fuzzy, obscuring everything from view.
"I can’t see clearly, everything is a murky white, like there’s a veil covering my eyes."
"This is a normal phenomenon. Although the talent organ has been implanted into your socket and completed adaptation, what was implanted is merely the seed of the Nether Eye. It will now draw on your blood and energy to grow rapidly, which requires a process."
Li Zheng sat up, unable to clearly see anything, yet he could perceive the energy ripples in the air.
Where the energy arms were, energy ripples outlined a rough contour.
Compared to his previous vision, his eyes now seemed to come with many new features, readily available for immediate activation.
But the drawback was also obvious.
