Chapter 9

Before Bu Ye had a chance to fully experience the changes brought about by the activation of the first Blood Star, the second withered well in the middle of his right lung, slightly above, was also filled!

“Wing…”

A bright, gorgeous red light blossomed, and the second large star appeared! Bu Ye clearly felt his lung function strengthen significantly!

But it wasn’t over yet!

Activating only one to three Blood Stars at a time could only be considered average in this world. The best could activate four to six! Most importantly, Bu Ye now had a clear feeling that the energy in his Heart Cloud was still surging outward, showing no signs of drying up soon!

“Wing…”

Another sound followed, and the third Blood Star in the lower left part of his left lung lit up, further enhancing his overall physical qualities by 0.2!

“Wing…”

The fourth gorgeous Blood Star in the lower front part of his right lung lit up!

In this world, Heart Cloud Awakeners can activate a total of twelve large stars: four in the lungs, three in the kidneys, and the other five distributed elsewhere. Up to this point, Bu Ye had activated all four large stars in his lungs!

His overall physical qualities were thus enhanced by 0.8, but the greater benefit was that he now had a freakishly powerful lung!

Indeed, only the term "freakish" could describe his lungs at this moment!

The oxygen absorption capacity of this lung had more than doubled, allowing him to breathe freely even in oxygen-deficient environments! Moreover, his lungs had even developed the ability to absorb other components from the air and convert them into nutrients, not just oxygen! The air composition in this world was different from Earth's!

As for lung capacity, Bu Ye might have already reached a level comparable to that of a hippopotamus or an elephant. Of course, this might be an exaggeration, but there was no doubt that after long-distance running or intense exercise, he would no longer pant endlessly, with his breathing sounding like a broken windbox.

At this moment, Bu Ye even had the feeling that he could breathe勉强 in toxic gas without dying, as his lungs could automatically filter out some of the toxins. Once he escaped from the toxic environment, he would be completely fine after coughing up a few mouthfuls of toxic phlegm.

His breath-holding ability had also improved significantly. With his original body, even at his healthiest, he could only hold his breath for about a minute. Now, he didn’t know exactly how long he could hold his breath, but it was definitely much longer than before!

With all four stars in his lungs activated, the powerful energy in his Heart Cloud began to surge outward more intensely. Previously, this energy had also surged outward, but it wasn’t as strong because it was being used to activate the four Blood Stars in his lungs. Only now did it truly surge powerfully.

Below the heart, the most important part of the circulatory system is the kidneys.

There are two kidneys, shaped like crescents, with the concave side facing inward. They are located on either side of the navel, just below the lowest rib, but not fully protected by it. The actual positions of the kidneys are not symmetrical, and their sizes vary slightly from person to person.

The powerful energy from the Heart Cloud, which had been surging outward like a tide, now had a clear direction when it encountered the kidneys. The kidneys are also particularly adept at absorbing this energy!

Two on the left and one on the right, three "withered wells" appeared almost simultaneously. The two on the left were located at the upper and lower corners of Bu Ye’s left kidney, while the one on the right, which was slightly larger, was located in the center of his right kidney.

These three withered wells were absorbing the powerful energy frantically, and they, along with the surrounding areas, were continuously strengthening.

Healthy kidneys mean strong yang energy, but that is not their most fundamental function. Their most fundamental role is in the human circulatory system.

If these three Blood Stars could all be activated, Bu Ye’s overall physical qualities would be enhanced by 60%!

However, as Bu Ye was completely immersed in the joy of his Blood Stars being activated one after another and his body becoming stronger, he did not notice that the cancer cells in his body were also changing!

As Bu Ye’s body was nourished by the energy surging from the Heart Cloud, the cancer cells were also quietly and slowly absorbing this energy! As his overall physical qualities improved, the vitality of these cancer cells also increased! A sufficiently good body could have killed them, but now they had quietly risen to a higher level!

After his穿越, these cancer cells had definitely undergone some qualitative changes! They would warn Bu Ye of danger, but when he could kill them with his superhuman body, they also tried to keep up with the times!

The cancer cells’ absorption of the energy was not fast, and their growth was far less significant compared to Bu Ye’s body, but they were indeed improving. Although they were temporarily suppressed, with their strong vitality and destructive power, they would definitely have a chance to regain the upper hand!

On Earth, the vitality of cancer cells is truly terrifying. Incomplete chemotherapy, even if only a few cancer cells remain, can lead to their re-spreading and ultimately killing the patient.

Bu Ye had been defeated by lymphoma before his穿越. If he hadn’t crossed over, he would have died by now.

At this moment, there was actually a third change in Bu Ye’s body!

This third change came from the faint black mist produced after the cancer cells devoured Yang Yuanda’s ghost!

This black mist seemed to be an even more mysterious substance than the cancer cells. It had been attached to the cancer cells like a mist, completely inactive. But now, as the cancer cells changed, the black mist began to flow, albeit very slowly.

...

Bu Ye’s attention was entirely on the Blood Stars. He watched as the withered well in the center of his right kidney was filled, activating the fifth Blood Star, the largest and brightest so far!

Next, the sixth Blood Star in the upper corner of his left kidney and the seventh in the lower corner!

These three Blood Stars, the fifth clearly enhanced his body by more than 0.2, while the sixth and seventh were slightly less than 0.2, totaling exactly 0.6.

At this moment, with his eyes closed and focusing inward, he could see a total of seven gorgeous Blood Stars distributed in his body, seemingly irregular but actually following a pattern.

Even from the outside, the pattern was becoming visible!

Due to the obstruction of his physical body, the seven Blood Stars appeared much dimmer, and the Heart Cloud in his heart was almost invisible. But this made them resemble true nebulae and stars even more. At first glance, it seemed as if there was a small constellation within Bu Ye’s body lying in the darkness!

After activating seven Blood Stars, the energy in the Heart Cloud finally showed signs of fatigue, with both the speed and force of its surge not as strong as before.

However, Bu Ye was already satisfied!

In this world, ordinary people could only activate one to three Blood Stars during Heart Cloud Awakening, while the best could activate four to six. Activating seven Blood Stars placed him in the category of exceptional talent! This was clearly due to the good physical foundation of this world’s Bu Ye, which benefited him.

Then, estimating that the energy in the Heart Cloud could not activate the eighth Blood Star, Bu Ye relaxed and carefully observed how the energy slowly advanced through his body.

It didn’t take long for the energy to spread throughout his body, with no part left untouched. The liver, spleen, and upper and lower limb blood vessels absorbed the most energy. Through the information in his mind, Bu Ye already knew that these areas were the locations of the other five unactivated Blood Stars.

The energy surging from the Heart Cloud was decreasing, almost about to run out.

Bu Ye knew that the moment it completely ran out would mark the end of his Heart Cloud Awakening process, and from then on, he would be a true Awakener!

At this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of power, stronger than ever before!

Huh?!

At this moment, Bu Ye suddenly noticed something. A very small withered well seemed to have appeared in the middle of his right forearm!

What’s going on?

The information in the red light stated that while people only knew about the twelve major stars corresponding to the Heart Cloud, there were actually six highly specialized minor stars. However, observing and activating these minor stars was extremely difficult, which is why they gradually faded from the Heart Cloud system.

Could this small withered well represent one of the six minor stars, specifically the one for the arm?

Bu Ye could easily verify this, as he knew the position of another minor star, which was in the calf of the leg he used to exert force when standing on one foot.

Bu Ye immediately focused on his left calf, and sure enough, there was another very small withered well, which would be hard to notice without careful observation!

It must be a minor star!

There were six minor stars, but the red light only provided the positions of two. Where were the other four?

This was a perfect opportunity, even if the information didn’t provide the positions, Bu Ye could observe them himself!

However, just as Bu Ye began to search, the energy in the Heart Cloud completely ran out!

This sudden change brought a return to calm within his body, and even the two small withered wells he had seen completely disappeared.

To say he wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. The information in the red light stated that while major stars enhanced overall qualities, minor stars provided specialized reinforcement. Even activating just one minor star could significantly enhance a specific part of the body.

Bu Ye was somewhat reluctant and, almost subconsciously, looked again at the position of the small withered well in his right forearm, hoping to find it again. After all, he needed to perceive it first to try to activate it.

He harbored hope but didn’t expect much.

However, to his complete surprise, he saw it again!

This time, however, he didn’t see it through the energy from the Heart Cloud, which had disappeared, but through the black mist attached to the surface of the cancer cells!

The black mist, which had previously resembled a light mist, now looked like a thin veil and was flowing very slowly. It was this flow that caught Bu Ye’s attention. The black mist flowed faster towards a certain position and disappeared in part, as if there was a small vortex there, which was exactly where the small withered well had been!

Was the small withered well absorbing the black mist? It seemed more passive than active.

Was this a bad thing or a good thing?

Bu Ye’s logical thinking was strong, and he quickly thought of a way to determine whether it was good or bad: let the small withered well absorb more black mist.

However, the black mist was produced by the cancer cells and was not a living entity, so it couldn’t follow his commands. From the situation, it seemed more likely that the cancer cells could control the black mist, but his “old friend” also didn’t listen to him…

It was only at this moment that Bu Ye suddenly realized that the cancer cells in his body seemed to have become stronger!

After confirming this multiple times, it was indeed true!

A surge of anger rose from Bu Ye’s heart, and his mood returned to the moment he first learned of his cancer!

I’ve already awakened the Heart Cloud, with both the Heart Cloud and Blood Stars, my physical qualities are three times what they were, and I still can’t defeat you!!!

Bu Ye kept his eyes closed and focused inward, but he let out a low growl, with a strong urge to destroy the cancer cells along with himself!

At this moment, the cancer cells in his body suddenly erupted in anger, just as they had when facing Yang Yuanda’s ghost, and directly challenged Bu Ye in their own way!

Bu Ye was completely caught off guard by this change and was startled. Then, he reacted, sneered, and was about to counterattack when he was once again drawn to what he saw.

When the cancer cells erupted in anger, they triggered the black mist, which rapidly surged and all flowed into the small withered well in his right forearm!

A nail-sized area absorbed the black mist that had spread throughout his body, a truly bizarre situation. However, Bu Ye immediately felt a sense of fulfillment. The small withered well was filled by at least one-third and quickly began to change the surrounding muscles, bones, and flesh!

The black mist could also activate Blood Stars?

However, it was clearly not intentional on the part of the cancer cells, but rather a good deed from a bad heart, benefiting Bu Ye!

What was this?

“Clank!”

The sound of chains suddenly rang out, followed by Yang Zhaocai’s fierce shout: “Drag him out!”

Bu Ye’s eyes snapped open, and he realized it was already broad daylight. Two guards from the village defense team quickly entered, picked him up, and carried him out.
