Chapter 29: Pain! The Price of Becoming Strong
After a few agonizing screams, each gasp seemed to ease the unbearable pain.
Indeed, no miracle pill compares to just howling your lungs out.
Chen Pingchuan felt like he was going to explode. His body and spirit were under a dual assault.
He had assumed that inheriting his physical state would be simple, but in reality, the full force of his genetic enhancements was being loaded into his body. At best, he had expected a surge in his strength, agility, and physique attributes. Nothing more.
But how could becoming stronger come without a price, especially in such a short time?
"What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger!"
"But it really, really hurts! Damn it!"
Chen Pingchuan had always considered himself tough, but right now, he genuinely wanted to die.
Physically, from his internal organs, blood, and meridians to his skin, muscles, and bones, every part of him was undergoing a baptism of pain. Tearing and rebuilding, then tearing and rebuilding again, a vicious, endless cycle. If not for a mysterious warm current constantly repairing his mangled body, his flesh might have been obliterated by the surging power.
Mentally, things weren’t optimistic either. A massive stream of consciousness was pouring into his brain. It included all the diligent practice with the eighteen traditional weapons from his simulations, as well as his deeper understanding and application of strength and physique from his training.
Of course, the most ferocious stream of all came from the purple talent, Parasitic.
I have you to fucking thank for this.
