Chapter 19 Reversal Technique?
"But Su An has no bloodline at all."
Angers frowned and turned to look at Su An, who was lying on the hospital bed with severe and incurable injuries.
Wasn't the Nibelungen Project designed for hybrids?
The vice principal replied lazily, without even lifting his eyelids:
"Angers, there is an old Chinese saying: 'To show off one's axe skills in front of Lu Ban, or to wield a broadsword in front of Guan Yu.'"
You're only somewhat skilled at slaying dragons, and know absolutely nothing about alchemy! You have no concept of the immense power of the Philosopher's Stone. Don't underestimate alchemy; it's a discipline with profound implications for everything.
The Philosopher's Stone is a magnificent masterpiece capable of turning the impossible into the possible. If used properly, its power will not only revive Su An, but also bring him immense benefits!
"Benefits? What do you mean?"
Do you know why Su An is unconscious?
His brain tissue oscillated between destruction and recovery; just when it was nearly destroyed, it would begin to regenerate. It was almost as if Su An was in a coma…”
The vice principal smacked his lips, then uttered a statement that even he himself found unbelievable:
"It's like Su An is studying while he's unconscious!"
The so-called near-death experience was just an illusion. Even when he was seriously injured and unconscious, Su An still controlled his body's "destruction" and "recovery," and each time he became more and more skilled!
What the hell is this monster learning while it's unconscious?
He's already a complete monster. If the so-called learning hypothesis holds true, I can't imagine how terrifying he'll be when he wakes up in this hospital bed!
The vice principal pulled out Su An's report and waved it in front of Angers. The data on the report fluctuated alarmingly, ranging from extremely "critically ill" to extremely "full of energy".
"How could all these data appear in one teenager at the same time?"
What on earth was he unconsciously learning while he was in a coma?! Damn it! According to the data, Su An wasn't just simply recovering; his healing speed was unbelievably fast!
How should I describe it? Do you still remember Genjiro from Kassel a few years ago?
Genjiro is currently the young patriarch of the Japanese branch of the Snake Clan. He was shot eight times during a mission but recovered quickly and unharmed, but he is still no match for Su An!
Su An has clearly surpassed Yuan Zhisheng, who was previously in the school's record, and by a huge margin!
According to Chu Zihang, Su An paid a heavy price to defeat the Dragon King.
The repeated use of high-level incantations brought him a curse, and his life force was repeatedly eroded.
It was as if a curse was weighing heavily on his recovery ability, and it would soon take his life!
"If Suan's condition is really as bad as you say, will the Philosopher's Stone really be of any use?" Angers looked at the boy on the hospital bed with a hint of worry.
The vice-principal gave Angers a helpless look, as if a top student had been lecturing on advanced mathematics for three hours in front of an idiot, but no matter how much he talked, the idiot still didn't understand what the top student meant.
"Simply put, if Su An's self-healing hypothesis is true, then what he needs now is not salvation but material things! What he needs is the Philosopher's Stone."
The Philosopher's Stone, a miracle of alchemy, is the best substance for the synthesis and repair of the body!
When the Philosopher's Stone is incorporated into Suan's self-healing process, each destruction and reconstruction will transform and improve Suan's physique.
In game terms, this is called enchanting. We're using the world's top-tier materials to enchant Su An's body. If it succeeds... hehe..."
The vice-principal set up a series of complicated rituals, placing the unconscious Sue in the very center, with the Philosopher's Stone gleaming under the candlelight.
Angers involuntarily swallowed and asked, "If it succeeds, what will happen to Su An?"
"Nothing will happen. He'll just survive, and he'll be handsome."
"that's all?"
"And then live to be at least five hundred years old."
"Anything else?"
The vice principal added, "Then, with the support of abundant vitality and ample room for trial and error, coupled with his recovery ability, he is enough to grow to a height that even the Dragon King cannot reach, enough for him to ride on Nidhogg's head and annihilate all the dragons, leaving not a single one alive."
Angers finally showed a relieved and warm smile. For some reason, he felt that there was a non-existent shadow on the sickbed who was also smiling.
Only the vice principal couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Damn it, this stone could buy a hundred universities in Kassel. How can a vice-chancellor have to pay for his own medical expenses!"
You owe me something! I'm throwing a pool party when I get back to school! I want to see bikini-clad beauties! If you don't reimburse me, I'm not letting you off the hook!
..............
Beneath the starry sky, within boundless interior.
"The Philosopher's Stone, huh? This world is truly interesting."
Gojo Satoru withdrew his gaze from beyond the starlight and turned it back to Su An, who was about to run away from home, and sighed softly.
"You're so lucky, so many people are protecting you."
Su An had never seen such a complex expression on Gojo Satoru's face before; it was a mixture of relief and reminiscence, and even a touch of elation.
"Your expression is strange. What happened outside?"
"Hehe, what happened? A great rescue took place, destined to be written into the medical history of this world, and you are the protagonist on that hospital bed."
Their selfless dedication and all-out effort to save others are truly admirable! Angers and his comrades sacrificed the Philosopher's Stone, enabling you to…”
"What's wrong with me?"
"This will greatly benefit you, you'll know when you wake up. Before, your chance was only a fleeting moment upon waking, now your time has been extended to half a second."
If you can save yourself within half a second of waking up, you will live. Otherwise, consciousness will immediately collapse, and the body will die as well.
"And what about you?"
"I am but an illusion, my spirit attached to my body; naturally, I will die with you..."
Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me so seriously and sadly. Death isn't as heavy and unbearable as I think.
"Why, why aren't you afraid?"
"Because I've already died once..."
Gojo Satoru unconsciously pulled open the black clothes covering his lower back, revealing a long, black slash scar beneath his hard, rigid latissimus dorsi muscles. The scar was slashed in two, making it look particularly ferocious.
"The Two-Faced Sukuna, a powerful enemy, was proficient in combat, sorcery, and slashing. I was cut in two by his slash and died, and may never be able to go back."
Gojo Satoru spoke in a relaxed tone, showing no sign of heaviness even when mentioning his own death. He simply stared intently at Su An and said:
"Death is more terrifying than you imagine, worse than the burning of purgatory, and even worse than the slow torture of Asura. When death is near, and when your only option of escape is no longer possible, will you regret your choice to leave?"
Facing the fear of death is not easy. The slightest hesitation you have in that instant of waking up will only lead to your demise!
This is my last warning, and my last question—are you really sure you want to leave here, Su An?
Are you really sure you want to gamble your life for a chance at survival? Even if it's highly likely you'll lose everything, are you still willing...?
"Gojo Satoru, I understand what you're saying, but what if I use a reversal technique?"
Su An raised her fingers, and a faint black light danced at her fingertips, like wild bees fluttering, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
