Chapter 20

In the warehouse.

Liu Long soon spoke up, "Is there a lot of mysterious energy accumulated in your body right now, making you feel very uncomfortable?"

Li Hao nodded.

It was indeed true.

This time, the mysterious energy felt harder to digest, and compared to the mysterious energy from the jade sword, the mysterious energy in the warehouse was somewhat different. Specifically, it dissipated much more slowly.

It should be noted that the mysterious energy extracted from the jade sword, after Li Hao absorbed it for a while, would quickly dissipate if not fully digested.

Of course, this benefited the black leopard.

So, although Li Hao absorbed a lot last night, more than half was wasted, all of it being absorbed by the black leopard, which seemed to have a greater capacity for absorption than Li Hao.

This time, after absorbing from two sources, Li Hao didn't dare to activate the "Five Animal Breathing Technique." In fact, he didn't absorb much. If it were the mysterious energy from the jade sword, it would have already overflowed and dissipated by now.

But here, it didn't.

Li Hao could feel that more than half of it still remained in his body, undigested.

"Strange!"

At this moment, Li Hao also found it odd. Were these two types of mysterious energy different?

Was it easier to store when reused?

He couldn't figure it out!

While he was still thinking, Liu Long suddenly roared, "Since you haven't absorbed it yet, what are you standing there for? Go practice martial arts! Are you waiting for this precious mysterious energy to dissipate?"

"..."

Li Hao didn't speak and immediately ran out.

Liu Long's roar was terrifying, and it was best not to provoke him.

...

In the fitness area.

The equipment here was much more abundant than at home.

Although Li Hao felt that the mysterious energy from the two sources wasn't much and was hard to digest, he quickly began practicing the Five Animal Technique to avoid wasting it. He thought a little waste was fine, but when he considered that the mysterious energy from the jade sword might not be absorbable many more times, he quickly dismissed the idea.

According to his teacher, the mysterious energy on super items was limited and would soon be completely absorbed.

At this moment, it was important to cherish it.

He started practicing the Ape Technique again!

Leaping, jumping, monkey punches, swinging on rings, and leaping around using momentum…

Gradually, Li Hao's face became somewhat strange.

The mysterious energy he had just absorbed seemed to be starting to take effect!

"Ah!"

Li Hao let out a low cry, his face showing prominent veins, suddenly feeling intense pain, almost convulsing.

Li Hao thought something was wrong with him, that the mysterious energy was destroying his body. He was about to ask for help when he heard Liu Long shouting from the side, "Don't stop, continue! The mysterious energy is just starting to take effect!"

"The greatest effect of mysterious energy is destruction!"

"Rebirth through destruction! Continuously forge your body, your blood, your bones… let you endure hardships, and live through death!"

"..."

Li Hao was in intense pain!

"No!"

Such thoughts flashed through his mind. Something was wrong, definitely wrong.

Rebirth through destruction?

No, it wasn't like that.

The mysterious energy from the jade sword didn't destroy; it would dissipate if absorbed too much, nurturing instead of destroying the body.

Yes, in Li Hao's feeling, it was different.

Absolutely different!

The mysterious energy from the jade sword was gentle and pure, but what he had just absorbed was too violent!

"Boss… it hurts… is there a problem…"

Liu Long roared, "What problem! This is how mysterious energy works! Practice well, the mysterious energy from two sources is very valuable! If you dare to waste it, I'll make you pay!"

"To obtain this mysterious energy, we paid a great price. Li Hao, if you don't improve significantly, you'll die in the next mission!"

Li Hao let out a painful scream.

It really hurt!

He wasn't afraid of pain; he just wanted to tell Liu Long that something seemed off. Why was it like this?

Boom!

Li Hao was in agony and stopped using the Ape Technique, instead using the Tiger Fighting Technique.

The Tiger Fighting Technique was more powerful!

It also helped him vent his pain better.

"Bang!"

A sandbag was punched away, and the next punch instantly shattered it!

Li Hao burst into a frenzy, veins bulging all over his body.

...

On the side.

Yun Yao glanced over, nodded slightly, and said softly, "The foundation is very good! The 'New Five Animal Book' is indeed a unique technique of Old Yuan. Although Li Hao hasn't reached the Tenth Level, his physical condition is excellent! An ordinary person, after absorbing mysterious energy from two sources, would at least have blood flowing from their seven orifices, with internal organs compressed… He only has swollen veins, which isn't a big problem."

This physique was almost comparable to a Tenth Level martial artist.

There was almost no difference.

Liu Long also nodded slightly and said softly, "This guy… his body is really good! Is the 'New Five Animal Book' that good? I've seen it, and it's just for health and fitness, not for building a foundation like this?"

"Maybe it's a secret version!"

Yun Yao smiled, but she couldn't be sure.

She looked at Li Hao again, her eyes somewhat strange, wanting to say something but not speaking.

Li Hao seemed to have absorbed some mysterious energy before, but not now, earlier. However, even after absorbing it, Li Hao didn't show much improvement. The key was that there were no signs of burst blood vessels on Li Hao's body.

Even if it was just capillaries, some signs would be visible.

From her perspective, Li Hao might have absorbed a little, but not much.

"Is it the mysterious energy from a super item? In very small quantities?"

This possibility existed.

...

At this moment, Li Hao's roar echoed in the field.

"Roar!"

Like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, he clawed out with his tiger claws, and with a crack, he actually broke a wooden post!

Li Hao was also surprised!

How could this be!

He had absorbed two different types of
