Chapter 14 14

Time passed slowly. After 1 hour, Nicolas came out from under the water one more time and took a deep breath and went into the water again. The skin on his face had already been replaced with new skin, and his skin looked much healthier.

His abdominal muscles had appeared, his arm and leg muscles had developed. His shoulders and wrists had strengthened, and at the same time, every time Nicolas circulated his Aziz Energy in his body, he heard thin 'crack' sounds coming from his bones. These sounds showed that he was also increasing their mass with Aziz energy and making them more durable, but Nicolas's ultimate goal was to develop his marrow.

When the marrow developed, his body would become much more robust, and his wounds would close faster. For the first medicinal bath, these effects were already terrifying; in normal situations, the benefits that could be obtained with the highest quality potion would only be the hardening of the skin or the densification of muscle mass, but Nicolas had already started to strengthen his bones while he had just finished the 1st hour.

Time flew by, and while the sapphire-colored water of the bath was slowly turning into a sea-blue color, its brightness had decreased. The medicinal aroma scent that constantly filled the bath had started to decrease noticeably. Normally, this effect should have happened in the 3rd hour, but Nicolas was someone who had lived two lives, and besides being familiar with Aziz Energy, his ability to control energy was extremely high.

After controlling his Aziz Energy magnificently and distributing it equally to his body, he was gathering the remaining Aziz Energy in the Energy Center, and he was becoming more familiar with this process every time.

Thirty minutes later, Nicolas came out from under the water one more time. His skin was bronze-colored, his cheeks were flushed with blood. He was not bright red like when he first entered the boiling water; instead, he looked like he was a little flushed from the heat.

The effects of the Sapphire Aziz Heart Potion were unimaginable. Nicolas's Aziz Energy had gone through a breakthrough in just an hour and a half and increased tenfold. He was standing on the threshold of being an Aziz, of course, because he had neglected his training for years, he was behind his peers, but in just an hour and a half, he had skipped a few years of development at once. Along with this, his muscles, bones, and blood had undergone an incredible change. Even his skin was more durable and more flexible than before.

The color of the bath water had turned pale blue, and the essence in the bath had decreased significantly. It was now just like a pleasant scent, but it could still be used.

Nicolas started to circulate his Aziz Energy in his body again, spreading it to his whole body. He knew that this bath would not be enough to strengthen his marrow, but it was enough to make some adjustments.

The cracking sound coming from his bones was creating explosions in the water and making the bubbling water even more active. His flesh was constantly moving as if there were insects crawling under his skin.

When Nicolas directed his Aziz Energy into his bone marrow, a thin pain surrounded his whole body. This was an extremely important process and one had to be careful. Some people would prepare for weeks physically and mentally to prepare for this moment, but Nicolas was trying to do everything at once, and he had the will to endure the pain and the technique to direct the energy.

As he directed his Aziz Energy to his bone marrow, his whole body began to tingle, his fingers went numb quickly, and his blood began to spin madly in his veins. As his skin color quickly turned red, his heartbeat accelerated. Strengthening bone marrow with Aziz Energy was difficult and dangerous, and his body had started to show the first symptoms, yet instead of slowing down, Nicolas clenched his teeth, resisted the pain, and spent all his concentration on pulling the Aziz Energy into his body at once.

One shot, by making the golden strike, he wanted to tie the first Aziz Energy thread to the Marrow, so that his marrow would continue to strengthen even in his daily life; besides, in the next medicinal bath, this process would become simpler. It would still cause pain, but reaching the marrow would be as easy as waving his hand.

Nicolas pulled his Aziz Energy in one move, and at the same time, the color of the pool suddenly became transparent and the essence in the room disappeared instantly. While the blue pale color was entering Nicolas's body from all directions, Nicolas's whole body tensed and stood still underwater as if he had turned to stone. Even if his eyes were still closed, the tears flowing from the side could be noticed.

The pain was unimaginable, so much so that his body was warning him not to do this and was opposing it, but if he wanted to cross his limits, he had to break his body's resistance so he could carry his threshold higher.

All the Aziz Energy he pulled in one move caused his veins to dilate and his energy channels to be overfilled. If he stayed in this situation for more than a few seconds, his veins would burst and at best he would remain disabled.

But after gathering the energy, there was no turning back, he sent his Aziz Energy to his bone marrow at once. While the Aziz Energy was hitting his bone like unstoppable waves and flowing into his marrow, Nicolas was like being stabbed by countless swords, and when that critical threshold came, he clenched his teeth and directed the energy. Despite the pain, it was admirable that he could still control the Aziz Energy smoothly; the Aziz energy flowing into his marrow slowly tied itself to his marrow, and a channel of Aziz Energy flowing from the energy center to his marrow was formed. Even if it was very thin, it was still there, but it wasn't finished.

Nicolas had tied the Aziz energy, but he still hadn't been able to penetrate it inside. He pierced his marrow with Aziz Energy and swept his whole body with Aziz energy in one breath to get the dirt out inside his marrow.

At the same time, a mud-like black-colored substance from his skin mixed into the bath water. The color of the water had suddenly turned black, and a bad smell surrounded the whole bath instantly.

As the young master of the Fei Clan, he had repeatedly taken medicinal baths that cleaned his tissues, and even his bones had been cleansed of dirt at the age of 12, but he could only exert his own effort for his marrow, and now he had thrown the harmful substances in his marrow out of his body at once.

Even if the pain was only for a moment, it was more than the sum of the pains he had experienced during the bath process, and while it was stuck in his head like an arrow, he felt his whole body burning in the flames of hell. For the first time, he let out a small moan, but his moan could only create a small bubble that mixed into the bath water.

When the black substance was quickly thrown out of his body, there was no need for Nicolas to stay in the bath any longer.

When he quickly threw himself out of the tub, there was sticky, foul-smelling black bodily dirt on him. Compared to the smell of the bath from a while ago, the current smell was equally bad.

Nicolas quickly picked up a bowl and started to clean himself.
