Chapter 146 - Third Enhancement! (3)
He shook his head, opened the interface, and looked at Ross’ attributes.
[Ross (Apprentice)]
[Mutant Blood Warrior: Second Enhancement (Flying Shadow Dragon)]
[Effect: +14 Physical Fitness, +8 Resistance, +8 Perception]
[Attributes: Physical Fitness 28, Resistance 20, Perception 18, Spirit 5, Energy 0]
[Second Enhancement Bonus: [Ambush Stance], [Shadow Ambush], [Low-level Dark Elemental Resistance], [Child of the Night] (Special)]
“The enhancement of a draconic mutant beast is good. This attribute enhancement is much higher than the last time Ross enhanced.”
Zhou Jing calculated.
Ross’ first enhancement gave him a total of 21 attribute points. Now, his second enhancement showed an increase to 30 points.
Because Ross himself was almost a clean slate in terms of bodily attributes, this was basically the difference in the quality of the potion itself.
Furthermore, not only did this Flying Shadow Dragon Potion increase his attributes, but it also allowed Ross to inherit powerful characteristics.
[Ambush Stance] could increase explosive power and speed. It had a special high-speed bonus when attacking for the first time. Meanwhile, [Shadow Ambush] increased one’s stealth ability. At the same time, when hiding in the shadows to attack, there was an additional explosive power bonus given.
The best was the [Child of the Night], which was a special characteristic like his [Thunder Strike].
When fighting at night, there would be a positive enhancement. Strength, speed, reaction, perception, and other qualities were all strengthened. Moreover, it was even harder to discover the user when sneaking at night.
Because Ross had yet to master any breathing techniques and lacked the additional attributes of the skills, his total attributes only placed him in the middle of the pack for a Second Enhancement Hunter.
However, the enhancement characteristic of being good at stealth and ambush allowed him to have a short-term explosive power that was not inferior to elite hunters in terms of surprise attacks and assassinations.. As long as he was not as stupid as before.
“This follower is getting more useful..”?Zhou Jing was secretly gratified.
He left Ross standing guard while he pulled out another bottle of brilliant gold potion.
This Golden Lightning Dragon Potion was also the work of a master. Its quality was extremely good. He had specially chosen this blood potion for himself.
The Golden Lightning Dragon was a high-level existence even among the fatal-risk mutant beasts. It was also known as the “Violent Lightning.” It could condense electricity and release lightning. It had a strong and agile draconic body, was fast and powerful, and was a top-notch predator. Other than being unable to fly, it had almost no shortcomings. Hunters who had been strengthened less than three times were nothing in front of it.
Zhou Jing found out from the workshop staff that the Golden Lightning Dragon had appeared in the surrounding area a few months ago. There was a four-time strengthened hunter who led a team to suppress it, but he was actually seriously injured and retreated. He almost did not return alive.
In the end, Keriber personally took action and fought a fierce battle. In the end, he killed this mutated beast, and only then did the workshop have such a potion.
“I have the Electric Leopard Enhancement, and both of which are of the lightning attribute. I hope I can jump to the path of dragon enhancement this time..”
Zhou Jing took a deep breath and drank the potion in one gulp.
Gulu!
When the potion entered his mouth, it was like an extremely spicy liquor that numbed his tongue.
Soon, it was as if his body had been struck by lightning. A wave of electric shock, accompanied by numbness, quickly swept through his entire body.
Zhou Jing hurriedly leaned against the tree and sat down. His entire body seemed to have been electrocuted and was twitching non-stop.
It was not the first time he had experienced the pain of being strengthened by the mutant blood, but this time, the pain was even more intense than before. He could almost smell his flesh being charred by the electricity.
However, after the first wave of pain, Jason’s [Tenacity] talent and the [Low-Level Lightning Resistance] provided by his first enhancement gradually began to take effect.
He vaguely felt the violent energy in his body gradually stabilize and transform his flesh and bones. He closed his eyes and silently endured the strengthening process.
...
As time passed, the sky gradually turned dark, and the faint sound of wolves howling could be heard in the forest.
Ross, who was on the tree, was motionless like an owl, guarding Zhou Jing loyally.
Zhou Jing sat under the tree for a long time. Finally, the pain subsided, and the surging power almost overflowed from him.
The eyes slowly opened, and there was a faint flash of golden lightning.
Zhou Jing felt a change in his body. Other than a strong sense of hunger, there was no other discomfort.
“Pretty reliable. Nothing unexpected happened for the third enhancement!”
Only then did he feel relieved.
His basic attributes were high, to begin with, and he also had the enhancement of skills. In addition, his physical fitness and resistance aptitude had increased to the blue tier. Under the combination of many factors, the success rate of strengthening his blood was far higher than Ross’.
Opening the interface, a brand new notification greeted him.

[Supernatural Power System — [Mutant Blood Warrior], Tier increased]
[Mutant Blood Warrior: Three enhancements (Golden Lightning Dragon)]
[Effect: +17 Physical Fitness, +13 Resistance, +10 Perception, +5 Energy]
[Current Attributes: Physical Fitness 58, Resistance 40 (+4) (First Order MAX), Perception 28, Spirit 6, Energy 5]
[Third Enhancement Features: [Power of the Ferocious Dragon], [Berserk Lightning], [Intermediate-Level Lightning Resistance], [Internal Electric Discharge] (Special)]
[Power of the Ferocious Dragon]
[Effect: With the powerful strength of a dragon species, your muscles and bones will be more solid, greatly increasing your strength and ability to withstand impact.]
[Berserk Lightning]
[Effect: Your attacks are like violent lightning. Your explosive power and speed will increase. You can last longer without fatigue.]
[Intermediate-Level Lightning Resistance]
[Effect: You have a certain tolerance for lightning and electricity and will not easily fall into a state of paralysis.]
[Internal Electric Discharge (Special)]
[Effect: Your body will naturally store electricity. When needed, you can discharge the electricity to stimulate your body and completely overhaul your attributes. The maximum duration of the “Internal Electric Discharge” state depends on the upper limit of your body’s electrical energy reserves. The higher the resistance and energy attribute, the greater the upper limit.]
[Remark: Using it for a long time will cause paralysis and organ damage. The higher the individual’s electric resistance, the less likely it is to be damaged. If the host achieves high-level electric resistance, the side effects can be completely avoided.]

“Wow, my attribute bonus has increased by a lot!”?Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised.
The first enhancement provided 27 total attributes, and the second enhancement gave 31 points. Now, the third enhancement had increased to 45 points.
The quality of the medicine was one thing, but the increase in his physical fitness and resistance also had an important effect.
The enhancement this time had further enhanced his physical fitness. He was no longer purely agile but had high agility and high strength. He was basically a boss-level character at this point.
What surprised him the most was that he actually obtained a special characteristic related to energy. He could really release electricity now.
Although it could not be shot out and could only be used to stimulate and, in essence, strengthen the body, it was a sign of the potential growth of a special ability.
“Is this a normal strengthening result, or is this potion the result of the research of the Empire’s direct workshop?”
Zhou Jing pondered in his heart. He estimated that the 5 points of energy attributes were brought about by the [Internal Electric Discharge] skill.
He sensed for a moment and felt that he could really feel the electricity slowly accumulating in his body. However, it was not absorbing through any external elements but accumulating using his bioelectricity.
The explosion of [Internal Electric Discharge] had a longer duration compared to [Thunder Strike]. This could allow him to use it during combat for a longer period of time.
He then tried it and realized that he could use both at the same time, but it would consume more of his stamina.
“As my enhancement level increases, the advantage of my initial high attributes and aptitude will also slowly increase. Usually, a hunter with three enhancements will only have their physical fitness break through the First Order. It’s almost impossible for them to reach 50 points, but I’m almost at 60 points now.. It should be equivalent to four enhancements, right?”
Zhou Jing silently evaluated his own level. Suddenly, he lashed out with his leg, hitting the tree trunk beside him.
Crack!
The wood exploded, and the entire tree was snapped in the middle. It fell down, and the huge sound startled a large number of birds in the forest.
“With this kick, won’t I be able to kick some mutated beasts into two.. As expected, the body of a physical enhancer is the greatest weapon of destruction.”
Zhou Jing was secretly speechless but extremely excited.
He composed himself and looked at his attribute panel. His resistance attribute had been increased enough to the point he could advance. He did not hesitate.
