Chapter 111: All Healed
Before the surprised Demon King reacted, Russell added:
"When you are proficient or your strength is improved, the efficiency can be further increased."
The uncontrollable wind chimes that were so surprised that they had completely lost their sad appearance just now, were flying around the alchemy room.
The demon in his heart almost roared his own question:
"But there are only a few tens of thousands of people in the entire transcendent world. You can double the number of people in the entire transcendent world in just one day? β
Russell nodded:
"Yes. My ultimate goal is for all of humanity to step into the transcendent. β
Russell said, remembering the third prophecy about himself, the storm of fate that Duncan had sensed a few months earlier that could engulf the entire otherworld.
Such a lofty ideal made the Demon King excited:
"Youth, ambitious! If someone stops you or interferes with you in the process, I will also help you to make your ideals come true. β
He then asked:
"So, what is the second effect of the Dream Elixir?"
Based on previous information, it is speculated that the Demon King is suspected of increasing lifespan.
Russell calmly uttered the answer that stunned the Demon King, the Wind Chimes, and the Sleeping Demon at the same time:
"Giving eternal life to those who drink it. The drinker will be forever young and will not grow old again. β
"In other words, as long as you drink such a bottle of medicine, this short-lived species of human beings can live forever?" The sleeping demon, who usually doesn't speak, finally couldn't help but let out a loud startle.
And the Demon King and Wind Chime, who were once human beings, were undoubtedly even more shocked, and they were so shocked that they could barely speak.
"Strictly speaking, you will still die because of external forces, but you will not die of aging. The old man will return to the state he was in the prime of life. And people who are satisfied with their current age will not age. Russell explained, "This is not a bad thing, there are always people who are tired of eternal life. The Dream Elixir also prepared another path for them. β
The demonic voice in my heart became heavy:
"Well done, boy. I have pursued a dream for many centuries, and you have made it come true. β
The Demon King, who was already a master of alchemy in human times, once thought of refining a drug that allowed ordinary people to transform into supernatural creatures without side effects, realize the transformation of the essence of life, and increase his lifespan while gaining supernatural powers.
And now, Russell has undoubtedly gone further and further down this path.
As he spoke, Wang's tone was stained with a bit of vicissitudes:
"In this showdown that spans thousands of years, you are the one who wins."
Russell nodded slightly, remembering the prophecy he had learned about when he first met Professor Black Amber more than two years ago, and that had determined his fate.
As if it were a trick of fate, the first prophecy was now fulfilled in a way that no one had guessed at firstβ
"Russell will finally defeat the Demon King!"
Whether it is the Demon King or the Wind Chime, it is as if at this moment it is as if a storm that is about to sweep the entire world is beginning to brew.
All of humanity gains extraordinary power and eternal life!
However, Russell looked at the fantastic potion in his hand, and frowned slightly:
"The changes brought about by the Dream Elixir are so amazing that they are bound to invite hatred and enemies. In the process of implementing the transcendent and eternal life plan for all mankind, it will inevitably destroy the original social order, reshape the concept of family and ethics, and bring about the redistribution of benefits, accompanied by a large number of contradictions one after another.
"And I am the only one in this world who can refine it. I don't want to be murdered halfway through this great plan!
"This may be an ambitious goal that will take years, decades, or even centuries to achieve, and we don't need to rush it.
"Until I have the strength to deal with all possible dangers, and until we discuss a plan for the spread of transcendence and immortality that will have the least impact on the existing social order, the secrets of the dream potion cannot be revealed!"
Long before Russell entered the alchemy room, he asked Duncan for divination in advance to make sure that no one would listen to his villa for the next period of time. He also used the Book of Shadows to perform the ritual in advance, creating a barrier to block the sound from being heard by passers-by outside the villa.
"Young man, your concerns are indeed reasonable. If the Supreme Council knew that you could refine such an amazing medicine, who knows what they would do? The demon in his heart agreed with Russell.
After Russell bottled the potion in the cauldron, he instructed one of the demons present and two spirits:
"Today's events are kept secret. At the same time, I am also troubled by Mr. Demon King to impose a ban on the memory of my contract spirits.
"I won't reveal the true effect of the dream potion after that, but I will claim that I have developed a drug that can heal students who have reverted to ordinary people due to occult diseases. Let them become the first batch of drug users without understanding the true power of the dream potion.
"For a long time, they won't realize they're young."
Russell had previously confirmed that all the students who had lost their extraordinary powers due to occult illnesses were not too old, and there were no exceptions like the old man, so there would be no rejuvenation, at most only age freezes.
Again, there is a small amount of risk, but it is undoubtedly much safer than fully revealing the efficacy of the dream potion.
The most important thing is that in the process of practicing transcendence, the existence of the first batch of drug users is very important, which can allow Russell to gain a lot of spiritual feedback and improve his strength faster!
For Russell now, the main way to improve his strength is to expand the number of people who take the Dream Elixir and the number of people who take it!
Russell lifted the world's first dream potion and drank it down.
β¦β¦
Primary Hospital, School Hospital.
"It's back, it's all back!"
The boy on the bench looked at the flames rising from his fingertips, his eyes filled with tears.
"My supernatural powers are back."
The boy, who was the first tester, quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Russell:
"Thank you, Senior Russell!"
In the past six months, this Elemental and Energy student, who carried the hopes of his family and had hoped to advance to the second year, has lost his original transcendent power.
For many days and nights, the boy even suspected that he might not be able to regain the power that once belonged to him for the rest of his life.
- He will spend his life as an ordinary person and die at the end. From the spiritual awakening at the age of 13 to the age of 15 now, these two years of extraordinary power are just a fleeting dream bubble in the long life of an ordinary person.
However, today, Russell, one of the six fourth-year students of the Higher Academy, who had turned the tide in the occult disease, actually cured him.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Russell nodded in response to the boy's thanks, and wrote down the corresponding experiment record on his mobile phone:
"The Dream Elixir was successful with the first tester.
"A former transcendent who has lost his supernatural powers, after taking the dream potion, his spiritual level directly returns to the level before he lost his power, without the need to start his spiritual ...... from scratch"
At Russell's feet, the elegant black amber professor stretched out his cat's paw and gently tugged at Russell's trouser leg, and his words were uncontrollable joy:
"Kid, you've really succeeded, you've really succeeded!
"Mr. Principal's divination results have also been confirmed, and there are no side effects of the medicine. We will be able to spread the fantasy potion in no time, so that all the students who have become ordinary people can regain their extraordinary powers! β
β¦β¦
October 9, Elementary College Hospital.
One by one, students who had lost their extraordinary strength lined up in front of Russell, took their dream potion, and drank the bright red dreamlike potion in turn.
The students who had been temporarily picked up by their respective families or associations returned to the academy after hearing that the "illness" could be cured.
Every student who drank the potion felt that his body had become lighter again, his perception of the things around him had become clear again, and the power he had lost had returned to his body.
They scrambled to cast one small spell after another, popping flames and fountains in their hands, or casting ghosts to float coins in the air and feel the transcendent power of lost and regained.
"Thank you, Russell!"
"Long live Russell!"
Voices of thanks and praise come and go.
Russell handed out a dream potion again, and this time, the majestic palm of the potion was familiar to him.
It was a giant bear with an elegant face and a strong body.
"I have a friend who didn't have a chance to come, can you be accommodating and let me get one for him?"
The giant bear asked politely.
Russell and the bear looked at each other briefly, and he immediately laughed out loud:
"Yes."
β¦β¦
The High Court, the mansion of the Arctic wolf.
"Giant Bear, are you telling the truth? Have you really regained your supernatural powers? β
The arctic wolf was shocked to see the giant bear that had resurfaced in front of him.
If Russell can heal those who have lost their transcendents in occult diseases and regain their strength, the Arctic Wolf will still believe it.
But both the Arctic Wolf and the Giant Bear know that they are naturally ordinary people, and they can maintain their extraordinary strength by continuously taking awakening potions. How could they be "cured" if they were not sick themselves?
"Yes, I'm incredulous too. But that's the truth, you should drink this potion too. β
The bear handed the glass bottle over.
The potion in the bottle was similar in color to the Awakening Elixir, both as red as blood. The difference is that bubbles continue to pour out of the dream potion and float upwards.
After drinking the potion again, feeling the spiritual energy that had been lost for nearly half a year refill the soul, the Arctic wolf, who had excitedly become bigger and smaller several times in front of the giant bear, was also filled with tears of excitement.
"Could it be that the effect of this potion is to bring people who once possessed extraordinary powers back to their previous state?" The Arctic wolf, recovering from his excitement, guessed, "Or ......"
At this moment, an explosive guess surged into the minds of both the Arctic wolf and the giant bear.
"Could it be that this potion can make ordinary people transcendent? Just like the awakening potion that Miss concocted? But this elixir seems to ...... No time limit? β
Such a terrifying conjecture made the Arctic wolf shudder.
The whole world is only tens of thousands of transcendent beings. Can transcendents be created so easily? This completely subverted his cognition!
"When you're done, I'll say something."
In the corner of the living room, an elegant and magnetic male voice came.
Professor Opal, dressed in a brown leather jacket and jeans, was standing there.
The professor seemed to have been standing here for a long time, but before he could actually speak, both the Arctic wolf and the giant bear automatically ignored his presence.
The power of memeticism!
As early as the state of emergency in the academy, the school has been closely monitoring the two servants of the thorn birds, the Arctic Wolf and the Giant Bear, in various ways, observing their movements.
If it weren't for the fact that the clown and the Old Order were not in the same room as the Arctic Wolf himself when they stole the Arctic Wolf safe, and they also blocked the surrounding detection, they might have been discovered by the monitoring personnel arranged by the school.
And now, after half a year of surveillance, it is determined that there are no more secrets of thorn birds hidden in the two of them, and it is time for a showdown.
"Professor Opal?"
In the surprised voices of the two, Professor Opal stepped forward:
"I know that you are all just ordinary people, and you have been able to maintain your status as transcendents thanks to the awakening potion of the Thorn Bird. And now, as you can see, everything is different.
"Congratulations, you no longer need to take regular medication from now on, and you have truly become a complete transcendent! This is Russell's masterpiece. β
The arctic wolf's eyes twinkled, and he looked at his hands in disbelief:
"I really became...... Transcendental? β
Once upon a time, this was a gift from a legend like the Thorn Bird.
And the giant bear reacted after a brief moment of excitement:
"Sure enough, the school has already found out that we used to serve Miss Thornbird, right?"
Opal nodded:
"Yes, we've been monitoring you two for a long time. From now on, we need your cooperation.
"Tell me all the details of your service to the Thorn Bird.
"In addition, I will put a relevant memory ban so that you cannot reveal the fact that you were once an ordinary person."
β¦β¦
Office of the President of Colleges and Universities.
"The opal side has been settled."
Duncan, who was in the headmaster's seat, crossed his legs, smiled at Russell.
"In this way, as long as the Arctic wolf and the giant bear are affected by the ban, they will not be able to reveal the fact that they were once ordinary people. No one knew that the Dream Elixir was also effective for ordinary people. Even those who know the details of the matter guess that the Dream Elixir is just an improved version of the Awakening Elixir. β
Russell nodded slightly, roughly relieved.
Russell only told Duncan about the true efficacy of the dream potion, and revealed a little cryptically to Opalβthe professor had always been more open and trendy, and was a little more receptive to this astonishing fact. Professor Opal also set up a memory ban for himself so as not to reveal secrets that should not be told.
Originally, Russell also considered telling Professor Black Amber, but Duncan said that Professor Black Amber was still too traditional, and God knows what it would be like if she knew that Russell had the ability to make people all over the world transcendent and immortal.
It's better to wait until Russell is stronger, and tell her slowly in a less aggressive way.
Russell also considered that in order to hide the true efficacy of the dream potion, it was possible to leave the Arctic wolf and the giant bear with no medicine, or give the giant bear drugs that were actually ineffective.
But the Giant Bear has always registered himself as a student who has lost his supernatural powers due to occult diseases, and if only one or two of the hundreds of students who have lost their supernatural powers have no effect after taking the medicine, it is too conspicuous.
In the midst of his thoughts, Russell asked another small concern of his own:
"By the way, Mr. Headmaster, do you think it's possible for the Joker and the Supreme Council to know from the Thorn Bird that the Arctic Wolf and the Giant Bear were originally ordinary people?"
Russell's concerns come from the fact that -
Thorn Bird has worked with the High Council on the development of an Awakening Potion!
Duncan said in a deep voice:
"I've thought about it, but I don't think they know. The relationship between the Thorn Bird and the Supreme Council is obviously not very close, otherwise there is no need for the Council to steal the knowledge scrolls of the third and fourth grades, and the Arctic Wolf or the Thorn Bird himself will directly hand over the knowledge scrolls of the senior grades to the Supreme Council. β
Putting aside this concern for the time being, Russell closed his eyes slightly, feeling the boiling spirituality.
In the first implementation of the Dream Elixir, the transcendents regained their power and were immortalized unconsciously, allowing him to reap amazing spiritual feedback.
He's made it to late fourth grade!
β¦β¦
Deep in the dark and silent forest, inside a strange log cabin with chicken horns.
The Thorn Bird, dressed in a black widow outfit, browses laptop web pages and checks the public information of many witchcraft families in a place where there should theoretically not be an internet connection.
This made the Thorn Bird know that many students from different witchcraft families in the academy who had turned back into ordinary people due to occult illnesses had been cured in the past two days.
"Thebes, Russell, he succeeded."
On the woman's face, an incomprehensible smile bloomed:
"He's succeeded in refining the elixir!"
Behind the thorn bird, a handsome girl with short hair bowed to the thorn bird:
"Congratulations, Miss! Everything is as you would expect. β
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, the day of Round 2 of the House Stars Tournament has arrived.
The entrance of the High School, on the edge of the dense forest.
"It's 12 noon now, and the challenge will end at 12 noon in three days.
"The clown team that won the first round of the tournament will be given priority to step into the jungle and collect all the materials needed within the allotted time! The other three teams waited in place. β
Amid the sound of the announcement, the Joker enters the jungle with Greenbeard and Bluebeard.
As the sun set, the second team of Arctic Wolves, Duncan, and White entered the dense forest.
In the early morning of the next day, when the east was Tubai, the third team composed of Radiant Starfire and Xingyue entered the dense forest.
When each team plays, a hovering, shimmering ball of light follows the team and acts as a camera, relaying the footage to the official website and giant crystal screen.
Russell watched the three teams leading him step into the depths of the jungle one after another, without the slightest frustration.
He knew that he was now a great power in the late fourth grade, and he was very close to the peak of the later stage. Compared to myself ten days ago, I don't know how many times stronger!
Such an astonishing rate of upgrades is enough to make anyone jaw-dropping.
It wasn't until noon on the second day of the tournament, when the golden sun hung high in the middle of the sky, that Clara's team was allowed to step into the forest.
On the playground of the primary courtyard, in the giant crystal screen, the image of Clara's team appeared in the area where the screen was previously black.
For the team that finished last, most of the students who watched the giant crystal screen on the playground or watched the official website live broadcast in the dormitory, and everyone's attention was mainly focused on the top three teams with greater hopes of winning the championship.
At this moment, some viewers who didn't know that Russell had been promoted to the fourth grade were surprised to find that Russell was no longer wearing the silver and white badge on his chest last time, but a gold badge symbolizing the status of a fourth-grade student!
