Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 60 The Gift (Sixth Update)
"Heart rate 75 bpm, blood pressure..."

Shang Qingjun looked at the various data on the Qinglong smartwatch, and everything was very standard and there were no problems.

She touched Gao Wu's forehead, and his temperature was normal.

The Vajra Elixir is the most powerful martial arts elixir, bar none. It is also the most dangerous.

Martial artists need to use a specially prepared neutralizing agent in conjunction with the Vajra Elixir. Therefore, most martial artists cannot afford the Vajra Elixir.

Even military warriors would rather undergo biochemical modification surgery than risk using the Vajra serum for enhancement.

Biochemical modification surgery is relatively mature, with a success rate of over 90%. As for enhancement with the Diamond Elixir, according to incomplete statistics, the success rate is only 5%.

As a biology student and advanced martial artist, Shang Qingjun had a deep impression of the data related to the Vajra Elixir.

She witnessed Gao Wu inject two milliliters without using any cooling measures, and the medication was completely absorbed within just two minutes, his body returning to normal. This stunned her!
The knowledge system accumulated over more than a decade seemed to collapse at this moment...

But she quickly calmed down and realized that there were several reasonable explanations for this within the existing knowledge system. For example, Gao Wu did not inject the Vajra Elixir, or there was a problem with the formula, or Gao Wu's body had reached the level of a warrior.

Gao Wu said smugly, "Sister Jun, aren't I amazing?!"

Shang Qingjun wanted to speak but felt a little weak. She had been too nervous just now, and now that she had calmed down, her body was still a bit limp. She slowly sat down, holding onto the armrest of the chair next to her. "Don't do that again. I'm easily frightened. My heart almost broke just now..."

Gao Wu then noticed that Shang Qingjun's face was a little pale, and a layer of fine sweat had appeared on her smooth forehead. She was really frightened.

He gave a dry laugh, unsure of what to say; it seemed he had gone a bit too far.

Shang Qingjun was, after all, a high-level martial artist. After catching her breath, she calmed down and said softly, "Let me see the Vajra Potion."

Gao Wu handed over the medicine packet. Shang Qingjun examined the medicine for a while, then poured out a drop of the Spinosaurus Energy Liquid, smelling and tasting it...

"Without any labeling, it's undoubtedly a counterfeit drug. The energy liquid has a fishy smell, indicating inadequate processing and purification..."

Without any instruments, Shang Qingjun could only rely on her experience to analyze the situation. In her opinion, the beast flesh and blood in the energy liquid had not been purified, which would be extremely harmful to the human body.

She said with some concern, "You shouldn't use these medicines yet. Let me go back to school and test the ingredients for you. At least we can purify them and remove the toxic impurities."

Gao Wu shook his head: "Sister Jun, I've already used six doses of the Vajra Elixir, and my body can handle it. I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to worry."

He then lowered his voice and said furtively, "Sister Jun, you have to keep this a secret."

Shang Qingjun felt something was amiss, but she didn't find anything unusual about Gao Wu.

The human body is incredibly complex; a small change can have far-reaching consequences. The skin, in particular, is extremely sensitive, and any side effects will likely manifest on it.

When medication causes side effects, skin ulcers, sores, and pus will inevitably appear, which are very easy to notice. It will also have a significant impact on both physical and psychological well-being.

Despite receiving multiple injections of medication, Gao Wu not only remained unharmed but also displayed remarkable energy and vitality. This was why the old man had refrained from interfering.

"Okay." Shang Qingjun suddenly felt powerless.

As a top student in the biology department, she actually agreed to let her younger brother inject himself with the Vajra serum. Moreover, she couldn't help him at all.

"I'm not being stubborn, I've been targeted by the followers of the Demon God. I have to take the college entrance exam next year, and since I have the talent to develop drug resistance, I can't let it go to waste," Gao Wu said with a serious expression.

He performed the injection to let Sister Jun know that the situation was very tense.

Shang Qingjun held Gao Wu's hand and said softly, "I just hope you're doing well; nothing else matters."

"Sister Jun, bad people are trying to harm us! We have no choice but to fight back." Gao Wu understood Shang Qingjun's thoughts; it was all for her own good.

Shang Qingjun laughed instead. She knew Gao Wu too well; this kid loved to compete, adventure, and excitement. Whether or not he had followers of the Demon God didn't affect his behavior.

She gently tapped Gao Wu's forehead with her finger: "You always have so many reasons..."

The next morning, Gao Wu went to see Song Mingyue and told her that Huang Hai and Jinyuan Company had close ties. Song Mingyue also informed Gao Wu that her grandfather would be coming to watch the Xuetao Cup.

"With this pretext, we can also prevent Huang Hai and the others from becoming suspicious."

Song Mingyue said, "Grandfather said that if you win the Xuetao Cup, he will give you a personal reward."

Gao Wu was pleasantly surprised: "What reward?"

"I don't know." Song Mingyue shook her head. "Don't worry about these things. Just focus on preparing for the battle."

"Ok."

Gao Wu took out a gold medal with a red ribbon tied to it from his pocket and handed it to Song Mingyue, saying, "Happy New Year."

The rectangular plaque, made of pure gold, follows the standard traditional 461 peace and tranquility plaque design. Unlike other peace and tranquility plaques, this gold plaque features a fierce, clawing dragon carved on its front.

The dragon carving was somewhat rough, yet it possessed an arrogant and domineering air, soaring into the sky and surveying all directions. Song Mingyue looked at the back again, and there were sixteen characters engraved there.

"The Azure Dragon soars to the heavens, its energy emanating from the east. Its myriad scales form its armor, its lifespan boundless." Song Mingyue knew this was likely a spell, but she didn't know its origin or its meaning. "I carved it myself," Gao Wu chuckled. "Pretty sincere, isn't it!"

Actually, the goldsmith sculpted a rough outline of the dragon, and he made some adjustments himself. He carved the incantations himself. Given his precise control over power, doing this wouldn't have been difficult. It just required some patience.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra contains over a thousand characters. Gao Wu previously taught it to Shang Qingjun, proving that the mantra itself possesses no special power. Only through the blessing of the Book of Immeasurable Merit does this divine mantra become effective.

That said, the fact that Shang Qingjun was able to become a high-level martial artist must have had some effect from the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra he helped to enhance every day.

The sixteen-character mantra on the gold medal is not very useful; its main purpose is to express a sentiment.

For him, Shang Qingjun was one of his own, so he would give her a practical gift. Song Mingyue was wealthy, so he would give her handmade items to show his sincerity.

Song Mingyue doesn't have the habit of giving gifts during holidays. This is the first time an outsider has given her a New Year's gift. She is very touched, happy, and a little at a loss.

She paused for a moment before instinctively whispering, "Thank you."

"So, you definitely didn't prepare a gift for me, right?"

Gao Wu knew what was going on as soon as he saw Song Mingyue's expression. He pointed to his own face and said, "How about this, a kiss from me will do."

Song Mingyue hesitated. Although she was close to Gao Wu, it wasn't this kind of closeness.

"I was just kidding!" Gao Wu said seriously. "We must never taint our pure and noble friendship with filthy relationships between men and women!"

Even though Song Mingyue wasn't very emotionally intelligent, she still felt that there was something off about what he was saying.

She looked at Gao Wu with a puzzled expression, and Gao Wu chuckled dryly and said, "Don't tell anyone about what just happened..."

For some reason, Song Mingyue suddenly couldn't help but laugh...

In the martial arts training hall on the first floor, Gao Wu chased after Song Mingyue, throwing punches continuously. After injecting the Vajra Potion, his physical strength increased dramatically, and his power also rose to ten points. Now his punching power has reached 1,800 kilograms.

Generally speaking, a martial artist's maximum punching power is two thousand kilograms. He actually has enough strength, but his agility is lacking, his martial arts skills are also a notch below, he lacks explosive power and coordination, so his punching power is limited.

That's why his bones are now as strong as steel and his skin as tough as iron, which greatly increases the lethality of his punches.

Gao Wu unleashed over a thousand punches, his attacks like a raging storm, but Song Mingyue remained as steadfast as a rock, calmly responding to Gao Wu's furious assault.

"Tell me the truth, have you become a warrior?" Gao Wu withdrew his fist, his breathing already somewhat disordered, while Song Mingyue opposite him didn't even break a sweat, which was clearly abnormal.

"Hmm." Song Mingyue said casually, but Gao Wu's mouth dropped open. "I'm still a martial artist even after taking so many medicines, but Song Mingyue has already become a warrior without saying a word!"

This is a warrior who can circulate source energy, which means that a person can transcend the limits of the physical body and possess all sorts of incredible powers.

Although the alliance is large, there are probably not many eighteen-year-old samurai.

No matter where you put her, Song Mingyue is a genius! Gao Wu was happy for Song Mingyue, but also deeply envious. If he were a warrior, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble!
Not only Ankyo University, but also top universities in other states actively invite eighteen-year-old samurai, offering exceptionally generous conditions.

It just goes to show how vast the difference in talent is between people. Song Mingyue must be a legendary martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand!
"Your physical foundation is very solid now, and the number of skeletal muscle fibers has doubled. It's just that it's been too short, and you haven't been able to tap into your body's full potential yet."

Song Mingyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She had long since laid the foundation of a warrior, but her spiritual power was restricted by the alien spirit.

Once this problem is solved, the body will naturally absorb the source energy to refine the acupoints, steadily advancing to the warrior level.

She was optimistic about Gao Wu's current situation, saying, "With two more months of training, you will definitely reach the limit of a martial artist. You only need to improve your mental strength, and you will naturally be able to condense source power..."

To become a warrior, one usually needs to push all aspects of their body to the limits of a martial artist. Only with this foundation can one speak of gathering source power.

For ordinary martial artists, injecting the drug increases skeletal muscle fiber by a maximum of 30-40%. High-level martial artists, with their exceptional physical talent, see their skeletal muscle fiber increase by approximately two times.

Muscles consume a lot of energy. The human body naturally secretes myosin to prevent excessive muscle growth. Gao Wu's muscles now make up more than half of his body weight, which is an extremely high percentage.

Improvements were seen in various areas, including the smooth muscle of the heart. Bone density was significantly increased.

Gao Wu's physical strength is now incredibly formidable, absolutely reaching the limits of a martial artist. His endurance and recovery ability are even more astonishing.

Gao Wu trusted Song Mingyue's judgment. This good friend had strong mental strength and knew his physical condition very well, even better than Gao Wu himself.

While most people were resting and having fun during the Lunar New Year, Gao Wu seized the time to inject medicine and cultivate.

On January 10th, Gao Wu received the last injection of the Vajra Elixir. By the 12th, all ten injections of the Vajra Elixir and the Spinosaurus Energy Liquid had been completely digested by his body.

According to the Book of Immeasurable Merit, his strength has reached 10.5, which is astonishing. Even Song Mingyue, who has just become a warrior, cannot suppress him in terms of pure strength.

His agility also increased to 9.3, equivalent to an improvement of about 15%. This seemingly small increase, however, allowed him to punch with a power of two thousand kilograms!

Gao Wu clenched his fist, feeling the power within him as if it were about to explode. His confidence reached its peak at this moment: "Snow Wave Cup, here I come!"
