Chapter 93: 70. Vitality Surge

The filthy blood produced a small pool, astonishingly corrosive.
The bloody red extraordinary trait, just like a fizzling tablet dropped in water, was rapidly dissolving among a dense flurry of bubbles.
Noland Lee, hasty, gathered some branches, standing next to the pool and fishing out the extraordinary traits from the filthy blood. A foul, toxic fog rushed towards his face and aimed straight for his ‘head.” The system immediately presented multiple warning messages:
[Warning! The effect of “Soul Corruption” has intensified! Its intensity level has increased from Level 1 to Level 2! Your “Spirit” attribute will temporarily drop by 2 points after 42 seconds!]
Noland Lee ignored the system messages and focused on scooping out the extraordinary traits.
So long as he didn’t make a mistake in his haste, his high “Spirit” attribute of 15 points could fully withstand “Soul Corruption.”
“Hang in there, hang in there… good, just a little more…c’mon, extraordinary trait. Why are you as soft as melted rubber…”
This extraordinary trait has soaked in the filthy blood for too long, the inside and outside are full of pores left by the corrosion.
Noland Lee poked it with a stick, breaking the extraordinary trait in half, it became a muddy substance, divided into a large and small pile.
The smaller pile of “Mud,” in the blink of an eye, was completely corroded by the filthy blood, leaving debris that sank to the bottom.
The larger pile of “mud” managed to hold on a little longer.
Noland Lee quickened the movement of his hand, wielding the branch and forcefully scooping the “mud.”
The “mud” left the surface of the water, formed an arc in mid-air, and landed on the grass with a plop.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction again, feeling a slight weight in his heart.
An extraordinary trait that originally required 30 points of energy to deconstruct now only needed 4 points!
Its size had also shrunk over 80% from when Noland first saw it.
Noland felt regret and anxiety.
He didn’t have time to examine what this tiny cluster of extraordinary traits possessed, instead, he quickly wrapped it in a leaf, held it in his “hand,” and flew towards the next smoke pillar.
If his guess wasn’t wrong, there should be an extraordinary trait in every drop of filthy blood.
If he was late, the extraordinary traits in the filthy blood would be corroded.
He needed to speed up, to fish them out from the filthy blood before the extraordinary traits turned into wastes!
Noland Lee’s speed continually increased, flying swiftly above the forest mountain range.
About 40 minutes later.
Noland Lee returned to the large rock where he had previously hidden from the storm and placed down 6 extraordinary traits on the open ground.
This was the final yield from his strenuous rescue effort.
The other extraordinary traits had all been thoroughly corroded by the filthy blood before he had arrived at the pond.
The surviving six extraordinary traits varied in shape, size, and color.
The bright red extraordinary traits were the majority, with three of them.
The white extraordinary traits were next in number, with two of them.
An extraordinary trait with various colors, red, yellow, white, black and others mixed in, there was only one.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction on them one by one, nodding slowly in thought.
The bright red extraordinary traits had been severely corroded by the filthy blood, each had reduced in size by over 80%, and now only required 3 to 9 points of energy to deconstruct them.
The condition of the white extraordinary traits was good, obviously possessing a strong ability to resist corrosion.
The two white extraordinary traits that Noland Lee rescued required 15 and 16
points of energy respectively for a complete deconstruction.
As for the extraordinary trait with mixed colors, its colors were quite unusual. It looked ugly and appeared as if several colored clays had been mixed together.
However, it required as much as 80 points of energy for a complete deconstruction.
Noland Lee looked at the bright red extraordinary trait that required 3 points of energy and silently activated Deconstruction.
After a fleeting moment, the system message appeared in his mind.
[Deconstruction Success!]
[You have obtained the panel information of the Extraordinary Trait:]
Name: Vitality Surge
Level: 3 Type: Single-use Extraordinary Trait
Effect:
By directly ingesting this extraordinary trait, you will unlock a new basic attribute, “Vitality”, and after the adverse reaction to the Strengthening Potion ends, your “Vitality” attribute will rise to 3 points.
“Vitality” represents your self-healing power.
The higher your “Vitality”, the faster you can heal minor injuries to your skin, and your speed of recovery from serious injuries like bone fractures, internal bleeding, and brain damage will slightly increase.
Explanation:
After your death, this extraordinary trait will not separate from your body because it is a one-time consumable.
“Vitality Surge” can only give you “Vitality” equivalent to its level.
For example, consuming “Vitality Surge” of level 3 or below repeatedly, does not increase your “Vitality”.
Only by consuming ‘Vitality Surge” of level 4 can your “Vitality” be raised to 4 points….
Noland Lee picked up the bright red extraordinary trait from the ground and
As he expected, the extraordinary trait that the titan spat out from the sky had positive effects.
The negative effect named “Soul Corruption” was not created by the titan, but the effect of death-type magic applied to the titan by the black curved hook.
The black curved hook polluted the titan’s blood, transforming it into Filthy Blood with corrosive properties and the effect of “Soul Corruption”.
The extraordinary traits the titan spat out originated from himself, who was in a hostile relationship with the black curved hook, hence they were subject to the corrosion of Filthy Blood.
Noland Lee looked up at the sky, his gaze swept over the giant palm of the titan.
No matter what the motive of the titan was for spitting the extraordinary trait onto the ground, Noland Lee had no intention of missing this unexpected windfall.
He opened his “mouth” and swallowed the red extraordinary trait in his hand in one gulp.
As soon as it entered his “mouth”, the extraordinary trait melted like cotton candy, turning into a warm current that slid down his “esophagus”, then dispersed into several streams in his “stomach” and extended into Noland’s “limbs”.
System Message: You have ingested the “Extraordinary Trait: Vitality Surge”.
You have unlocked a new basic attribute, “Vitality”. Your “Vitality” will be raised to 3 points after the adverse reaction to the Strengthening Potion ends.
Noland Lee picked up another bright red extraordinary trait, pondered for two seconds, then swallowed it.
System Message: You have ingested the “Extraordinary Trait: Vitality Surge (Level 5)”. After the adverse reaction to the Strengthening Potion ends, your “Vitality” attribute will be raised to 5 points.
Noland Lee now understood.
The bright red extraordinary traits were all “Vitality Surge”.
The bigger they were, the higher their level.
However, if he wanted to continue raising his “Vitality”, he would have to swallow a bright red extraordinary trait larger than the level 5 “Vitality Surge”.
“I just don’t know whether the titan will spit out any extraordinary traits next time it screams.”
Noland Lee looked up at the sky, quietly praying for the titan to be more generous, to spit out more extraordinary traits.
Of course, if too many extraordinary traits were spat out at once, leading to the titan being killed by the black curved hook, then nevermind…
Noland Lee shook his head, returning his gaze from the sky.
He picked up the remaining bright red extraordinary trait from the ground and put it into his “mouth”.
As expected.
It was a “Vitality Surge” of Level 9.
After he finished suffering the adverse reactions of the Strengthening Potion, his ‘Vitality” would be raised to 9 points..
