Chapter 11
The Bloodline of the Flame-Eating Dragon
The fourth bottle!!!
The fifth bottle!!!
……
Last bottle!!!
Matthew drank all eighteen bottles of Flame-Eating Dragon Bloodline Potion in one go.
At that moment, he felt as if his body was a volcano about to erupt, his blood boiling like molten lava pouring out.
My soul felt as if it were set ablaze, and my body was on the verge of collapse.
The next moment, a violent surge of bloodline power exploded from within his body.
Matthew suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
……
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"
After an unknown amount of time, Matthew was awakened by a sudden squeaking sound from a mouse.
He covered his groggy head and slowly opened his eyes.
Two furry mice were seen frolicking and playing in the cage.
Matthew sat up and found that his clothes were soaked with sweat and the floor was also wet.
The suffocating heat had disappeared.
He currently feels no discomfort.
"Has the bloodline fusion been completed?"
He slowly stood up and stretched his body.
He was surprised to find that his body had become much lighter, as if he had broken free from invisible constraints.
The once frail body seemed to have been reborn, every cell brimming with power.
He clenched his fist, his knuckles making a series of cracking sounds, as if he could shatter the air.
The next second, he suddenly threw a punch.
The force of the punch tore through the air, producing a loud bang.
He could feel the blood in his body pulsating like flames in his veins.
Matthew immediately brought up the control panel to check his physical condition.
Name: Matthew Claire
Age: 18
[Physical Fitness: 4]
【Mental Power: 10】
[Ingredients: 68% water, 15% protein, 7% fat, carbohydrates...]
[Unrefinable: The item possesses its own consciousness.]
Matthew was surprised to find that his physical fitness had actually improved from 0.5 to 4.
Most importantly, the warning that the function was permanently limited has disappeared.
In addition, he can now sense the fire element in the air more clearly.
"I didn't expect that my fire elemental affinity would also increase."
"Learning fire elemental spells should be much easier from now on, and their power will also increase significantly!"
"As expected of the Bloodline of the Flame-Devouring Dragon."
With his current strength, he could easily deal with the Bloodclaw Beast even if he encountered it again.
As for Jack, his current physique is comparable to Jack's, so they should be evenly matched if they were to fight.
Although Jack has more combat experience, his advantage lies in his ability to use the "Vine Growth" technique.
"I wonder how much they differ from Mold?"
Matthew shook his head. Although he had now obtained the bloodline of the Flame-Eating Dragon, he did not believe he could deal with that army of magical beasts.
Moreover, Mold was only a mid-level apprentice, so he should know quite a bit of witchcraft.
Although he now has some ability to protect himself and is no longer as weak as before.
But in the pioneering expedition to the Winter Realm, he and Jack were nothing more than cannon fodder, far from being able to control their own destiny.
"That's not enough... I must become stronger!"
"Oh, right!"
Logically speaking, now that his physique has improved and the functional warning restrictions have disappeared, his body should have returned to normal.
Thinking of this, Matthew lifted his robe to check.
He discovered that his once withered body had somehow become unusually robust.
The muscles bulged out, their lines and contours as distinct as if carved by a knife.
But to his disappointment...
Although his physical condition improved and the signs of aging on his skin lessened somewhat, it was still covered with wrinkles, like the bark of an old tree.
"How could this be? The warning signs about my body's limitations clearly disappeared."
"Could it be that my physical condition hasn't improved enough?"
Matthew fell into deep thought.
"If the body's condition improves to a certain threshold, will it completely improve?"
Besides that, he thought of another problem: with the fusion of the powerful Flame-Eating Dragon bloodline, his physique couldn't possibly only have four points.
It should be noted that Jack's transplanted Ironclad Giant Turtle bloodline allows him to reach a physical constitution of four points.
Although Jack's direct transplant would be more effective than bloodline fusion.
However, the Ironclad Giant Turtle and the Flame-Eating Wyvern are not even in the same league.
The full potential of the Flame-Eating Wyvern bloodline has probably not yet been unlocked!
"Gurgle—gurgle—"
Just then, Matthew felt a churning in his stomach, a surge of intense hunger interrupting his thoughts.
"It seems that after fusing with the bloodline of the Flame Devouring Dragon, the energy consumption will increase significantly in the future."
Matthew has been busy these past few days verifying the safety of the Flame-Eating Dragon Bloodline Potion, and the food supplies in the house have long been exhausted.
"I need to go to the cafeteria."
"But it's alright, considering the timing, today is the day to submit the documentary film."
Matthew's main job is to produce fifty documentary films every month.
If the required quantity is not met, not only will they lose their stable job, but they will also face severe punishment.
Therefore, Matthew never forgets the day he submitted the documentary.
He walked quickly to the mirror.
Her once thin cheeks are now fuller, and she looks much more energetic.
He grabbed the scissors and cut off his long, unkempt hair, revealing his angular face.
Matthew pushed open the door and came out.
Outside, the sun reappeared at the school's headquarters after a long absence.
……
Only two or three apprentices were sitting in the canteen.
Most of the apprentices were busy with all sorts of things.
So most of them, like Matthew, receive several days' worth of food at a time, and very few people eat here.
Matthew walked to the food distribution window as usual.
In the past, the food in the canteen was all dry food.
However, Matthew was surprised to find that the cafeteria food had a lot more meat this time.
"Strange...where did all this meat come from?"
He opened the system and scanned the meat in front of him.
According to the system's information, these were not monster meat, but rather some ordinary wild animals.
"Alpha, why is there so much animal meat?"
The food was served by an alchemical creature that could only give simple replies.
At that moment, it tilted its big head and replied in a mechanical, cold voice.
"Meat? Meat..."
"have no idea……"
"have no idea……"
"I...don't know..."
Matthew shook his head, didn't say anything more, and casually found a place to sit down.
He was so hungry that he decided to eat there.
The plate in front of him contained a dish made from the meat of an unknown wild animal.
The dish was emitting a pungent odor, and the greenish flesh looked like zombie meat, with a strange eye clinging to it. Matthew had absolutely no interest in it.
However, the groans coming from his stomach constantly urged him to eat as soon as possible.
"Never mind, it's all protein!"
Without further hesitation, Matthew put a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Um???"
Surprisingly, the dish tasted unexpectedly delicious.
"It smells so good!!!"
