Chapter 4: Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin

A cold and emotionless prompt from the Spirit Realm Will came, followed by a series of scene information introductions from the plane.

The biting cold wind cut across like a knife.

The scene before Bai Pu’s eyes rapidly froze.

He looked at his two hands and tentatively clenched them.

A sense of power he had never felt surged forth.

His feet stood solidly on the ground, the feedback from the ground was a clear sensation, unprecedented.

"Personal Attributes," Bai Pu whispered.

A translucent information prompt appeared in Bai Pu’s field of vision.

Unable to conceal his inner excitement, Bai Pu ran wildly across the vast land, feeling the wind roaring in his ears, and could not help but shed two lines of hot tears.

"Finally... succeeded!"

Only those who have lost their sight know the preciousness of light.

Suffering from heart disease since childhood, compounded by the heavy burden brought by an excessively powerful brain, leading to muscle atrophy and organ failure, Bai Pu lived like a living dead on a wheelchair since memory, never experiencing the happiness of having a healthy body.

What’s more, his current body is not just "healthy" but has reached the critical value of the Quasi-Awakened, the human limit—Total Attributes 20! Like a beggar turned emperor overnight, the difference in experience is worlds apart.

With a strong body, his super brain is no longer an unbearable burden. The dizziness caused by observation and thinking vanished without a trace!

Even the always calm and wise Bai Pu finds it hard to control his surging emotions.

In the retina, more prompt text from the Spirit Realm Will flashed across.

"It’s not time to celebrate yet."

After reading the prompt text from Spirit Realm Will, Bai Pu squinted, pondering.

The prompt text above was Bai Pu’s trial task. After completing the task, Bai Pu could transition to become the real Awakened, stepping into the sequence of human powerhouses.

The task progress is 1/2 because Bai Pu himself has already fused one tube of Evolutionary Source Blood.

As for how to find the other tube of Evolutionary Source Blood, Bai Pu already has a clue.

The answer lies in that warning information——

Poison Thorn Squad!

This is evidently the name of an Awakened team.

"The fact that Spirit Realm Will gives prior warning implies that the Poison Thorn Squad is likely to be hostile to me, and their strength far exceeds mine."

Bai Pu, a small Quasi-Awakened, how could he provoke an Awakened team? It goes without saying that they were sent by the Superpower Group as hitmen for a cross-plane hunt!

This team is likely carrying a tube of Evolutionary Source Blood.

The reason for carrying Evolutionary Source Blood is simple—they must carry Evolutionary Source Blood as an ’anchor item’ to accurately cut into the ’Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin’ plane, to hunt Bai Pu!

Anchor items are usually high-value Spiritual Marvels or items with special significance, highly associated with a particular plane in the Spirit Realm, serving as a locator during Awakened’s Spirit Realm transmissions.

Evolutionary Source Blood itself is of high value, belonging to Spiritual Marvels; its association with the plane scene named ’Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin’ is extremely high! It can be considered a perfect anchor item.

Without carrying Evolutionary Source Blood, Poison Thorn Squad would randomly cut into a plane scene among the many Spirit Realm Planes, unable to enter the plane where Bai Pu is.

Therefore, the other needed tube of Source Blood for the trial task should be seized from the Poison Thorn Squad.

The difficulty level of this trial task is astonishingly high! According to Bai Pu’s understanding, usual Awakened trial tasks are B-level~A-level, without encountering opposition from other Awakened, only dealing with natives.

Bai Pu’s trial task difficulty reaches S-level! He has to confront a well-trained Awakened team!

Considering he has undergone no training, with combat specialization and skills as a total blank, the disparity in strength is really too great, having S difficulty rating is only reasonable.
