Drinking the Fourth Potion

To Isa, being given instructions by Her Highness Su Ran was in itself a sign of her special status in the other’s heart.

Seeing Her Highness Su Ran depart, Isa went into the room to check on the witch Her Highness had rescued.

The other party was sleeping on the bed, a light quilt covering her body, her breathing steady and strong.

It seemed that after the effects of the Holy Stone chains were removed, the magic essence in her body was slowly recovering.

Faced with the purple witch whose strength far exceeded her imagination, Yuffie had not dared to leave any hidden tricks on the hostage.

Instead, she had obediently taken the initiative to draw out the Holy Stone factor from the witch’s body as well.

After checking the other’s physical condition, Isa gradually felt at ease and returned to her own room to meditate.

Today, Her Highness Su Ran had once again displayed her unparalleled strength before her, standing undefeated even when besieged by a large group of Church knights.

She had even threatened the other party’s Holy Maiden into releasing the hostage.

Her Highness Su Ran’s graceful and charming appearance was now deeply imprinted in her heart.

Sequence One no longer made Isa feel complacent.

She needed to continue advancing to a higher sequence.

Only by possessing greater power could she avoid being like she was just now, only able to watch Her Highness Su Ran’s battle from a distance.

She took out a magic essence crystal from her storage ring.

It contained pure, natural magic essence that Isa could absorb.

She only needed to expend spiritual power to draw out the magic essence hidden within the crystal.

Compared to having to absorb it from the surrounding space and then convert it into her own magic essence, this saved a lot of consumption in the intermediate process.

Just a few days ago, Isa had thought that being able to use the magic essence concentration enhancement array was already a luxury.

But she hadn’t expected that about two days ago, when she woke up from meditation, she was startled to find a magic essence crystal placed in front of her.

Just a stone-sized magic essence crystal like the one in her hand would sell for several hundred gold coins on the outside, and it was usually a situation where there was a price but no market.

When she thought it was a special reward from Her Highness Su Ran and carefully put it away…

The next morning, another magic essence crystal of the same size appeared in front of Isa like clockwork.

Only then did Isa understand that the magic essence crystal sent to her was not a special reward from Her Highness Su Ran, but a resource to improve her strength, just like the magic array.

After absorbing the magic essence crystal, Isa’s meditation efficiency had improved even more than before.

The amount of magic essence in her body had reached one hundred and ninety-nine points, just one step away from Sequence Two.

Ignoring the magic essence dissipating outside her body, Isa was working hard to control this last point of magic essence.

Being able to control two hundred points of magic essence was the foundation for a superhuman to enter Sequence Two.

In subsequent sequence advancements, the amount of magic essence also continuously became a key to promotion, because both high-level magic and the combat skills used by knights required magic essence to be activated.

But the difference was that high-level superhumans would use the magic essence they controlled to leverage more magic essence to serve them, rather than just consuming the magic essence within their own bodies.

When the last bit of magic essence contained in the crystal was completely absorbed by Isa, the sky outside the window had already been dyed black.

Isa’s lustrous and translucent eyes slowly opened.

With a thought, the cyclone-shaped magic essence within her body communicated with the outside world, and gradually, a layer of magic essence protection covered her body.

Magic essence protection—Isa had officially stepped into the ranks of Sequence Two!

With it, besides being able to block some of the toxins floating in the air, it could also reduce the damage caused to her by enemy attacks.

What made Isa feel regretful was that her witch abilities did not seem to usher in any new changes with her advancement, but the types of potions she could make seemed to be more than before.

However, Isa did not have extravagant hopes for the evolution of her witch abilities.

After all, Her Highness Su Ran had personally come to her side, what more could she ask for?

The rescued witch seemed to show signs of waking up.

Isa, who had skipped lunch, took out some food from her storage ring and went to the kitchen to reheat it for dinner.

After sending Isa and the rescued witch back to the cabin in the woods, Su Ran’s ten-thousand-yuan Sequence Six limited-time experience also came to a complete end.

Even though he had spent ten thousand yuan plus various miscellaneous expenses, completely using up the money Eve had lent him, Su Ran’s spirits were still high.

Because he had completed the mission, and this long-awaited fourth potion was finally in his hands!

He only needed to drink this fourth potion, and he would be able to awaken a superhuman talent.

Compared to the expense of over ten thousand yuan, this was absolutely worth more than its value.

In the days to come, he just needed to honestly continue doing power-leveling and be Sister Qiuqiu’s play-along, and then he could save up the money to pay Eve back.

Su Ran seemed to see the beautiful future he had envisioned in his heart, constantly waving at him.

The familiar potion bottle appeared in his hand.

Su Ran had a feeling that he wouldn’t need to drink the Witch’s Restoration Potion many more times.

Since this potion could solve a part of his superhuman talent problem, then the day his numb legs could stand up again was not far off.

Opening the bottle, Su Ran sent the potion into his mouth.

The familiar taste entered his throat and was swallowed, not a single drop of liquid left in the bottle.

Su Ran was already used to the witch’s potion needing to be completely finished to take effect, so every time he drank the medicine, he swallowed it all, afraid that missing even a little would cause the potion to not work.

The familiar warm current rose from his flat abdomen, continuously forming trickles that flowed down to his lower limbs.

The situation with Su Ran’s legs, which had recovered some sensation, improved again.

Just as Su Ran was wondering if his superhuman talent had appeared, a pain as if his bones were being shattered surged from his body.

Unprepared, Su Ran’s face instantly became contorted, his features twisting together.

He lost control of his body and fell straight onto the bed, curling up his body.

Wave after wave of excruciating pain made Su Ran clench his fists tightly.

His nails had already pierced his palms, and blood flowed from between his fingers.

At this moment, Su Ran did not dare to fall unconscious.

He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.

‘What on earth is happening?’

Su Ran was in so much pain he wanted to cry out, but even his throat seemed to be out of his control.

Endurance became the only thing Su Ran could do.

In Su Ran’s entire life, he had only experienced such excruciating pain when he rushed out into the road to save Eve.

At that time, after being hit by the car and after the adrenaline wore off, excruciating pain appeared all over his body.

But now, the pain he had to endure was ten times more painful than being hit by a car!

It had already exceeded the limits of what an ordinary person could bear.
