Chapter 791: Chapter 654 Becoming the Dominator_2

"After this, your personality will be even cleaner, and you won’t have any other troubles. Your lifespan will be longer, so you can serve Miss Lu better and pursue your own path more diligently," said the Jade Automaton.

Lu Jing opened the box and lifted the elixir high.

"It has a very special pattern," Lu Jing said.

"Yes, it is a carrier," said the Jade Automaton.

"Carrying what?"

"Knowledge, and the thing you desire," came the voice of the apothecary master from the far end of the medicinal cabinet.

Text and patterns can convey knowledge that surpasses their original intent because they carry a certain higher-level influence. Having participated in the battle at the Golden Cicada River, Lu Jing knew that soldiers went completely mad at just the sight of the Book Page Peacock’s feathers. Those who saw only half a feather or observed it for too short a time were sent to mental hospitals, and only the savage, chaotic White Salamander dared to battle with it.

Lu Jing mustered the courage to closely examine the pattern.

Part of her consciousness belonged to the cold Digital Mind, another to her sensibilities, and the part associated with her emotions was quickly covered by a more powerful influence, or rather, it answered a deep, soulful calling.

Now she understood the pattern, images, and pictures that flooded her mind. She saw the Queen Mother of the West with such patterns on her face, slaves who switched sides in the great battle upon discovering these patterns on the banners of the Ji royal family, shamans of Yunmeng Lake who knew how to draw these patterns, ill-fated Heavenly Masters who left these patterns on their own graves, and Emperor Jingchao with these patterns on his Jade Tripod.

Now Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing knew how to etch these patterns, Lu Jing realized that Xia’s most erudite scholars of the esoteric had given their loyalty to the corporation and that the employed Heavenly Masters had brought secrets from history, joining forces to overcome a difficult challenge. Among the dozens of renowned companies in the Xia Realm, Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing was second to none in its research in the esoteric field.

"Eternal Life," came a voice.

"Eternal Life?" she murmured to herself.

Everything around her was quiet, as if nothing responded to Lu Jing’s voice anymore. Later, Lu Jing realized that she was submerged in an environment interwoven with intense light, her hearing and vision momentarily stripped away. How much money, how many years had the company spent to replicate this ancient brilliance? Lu Jing couldn’t comprehend. She only knew that this soul-deterring power was more than she could bear and the company’s power was something she had to compromise with.

Lu Jing swallowed the elixir.

She smiled, finding her spirit soaring upwards. Her thoughts became clearer, and her pain vanished like smoke. She saw thousands of smiling faces around her, clouds and smoke everywhere, and lovely colors. Her face wore a pleasing expression, free from the worries of before, and her body changed from the inside out.

From then on, she was no longer the good child, nor the bad one.

A week later.

Rinne contacted Lu Jing through an encrypted channel, wanting to know how she was adapting back at the mother company.

"Xiao Lu! Is it cool working at the company? Is it fun? When are you going to treat me to a meal!" she messaged.

"Who are you? How did you get my contact?" Lu Jing replied.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your communication has been flagged."

"Stop joking!" Rinne sent another message, but it was like casting stones into the sea.

The messages caused Rinne a splitting headache and unbearable fear, knowing that whatever was on the other end of the signal was not Lu Jing.

Inside the office at Jialong Slope, Rinne couldn’t help but shiver as she read the cold text, feeling a chill as if she was back in the Northern Archipelago.

She had to find Lu Jing, but how? Entreating the Nestor Corporation to move their troops for the sake of one Xiao Lu was utterly quixotic, and infiltrating Xia was as good as dead.

She searched the messages; a few mercenary teams were discussing news released by Xia’s companies. They were seeking manpower to join an event called "Dragon Slaying Convention," with peculiar conditions: participants were required to have nothing but absolute loyalty.

...

Shangjing, Nestor Headquarters.

In the private training room, 102 was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Following the two high-ranking Dominator Witches from the Eastern Hemisphere Riot Control Unit, 102 was also touching a higher realm that belonged to her.

Born into the world 8 years ago, 102 already had the full figure of a 24-year-old witch.

The plump layers of fat stacked up, straining her skin-tight black latex suit, as if everything would bounce off her clothing.

"Iron Head!" 102 lunged forward, using her strengthened skull to strike the practice materials, shattering both stones and iron blocks with her head.

The magic circuits within her body were developing towards perfection.

In the bodies of fledgling witches, the circuits were merely in nascent form. Although they nourished the development of the whole body, only the pathway from the left hand to the right hand was somewhat sturdy, barely able to guide magic power from the chest to both hands. Thus, they could usually rely on their hands as catalysts to release merely small amounts of magic power.

The circuits in a lower-rank witch’s body were more robust, ensuring that the magic power could flow completely throughout the body.

A high-ranking witch’s magic power far exceeded that of a lower-rank witch. It wasn’t until they ascended to high-rank that a witch’s power was considered practically usable. They still needed to continuously use their magic power, training their magic circuits, until they allowed even more magic power to pass through.

According to what Farosa taught, 102 needed to refine her own magic circuits to an extreme state.

It was about "As above, so below; as below, so above," achieving a realm from one to none, ultimately pure and refined.

Previously, 102 introspected her magic circuits, finding them jumbled and unevenly developed.

On her frequently used limbs and skin, the magic circuits were particularly vibrant and bright, like gold; but on her less used organs, in her head, the magic circuits were exceptionally shrunken, resembling dried tree bark.

The key to becoming a Dominator was to overcome this imbalance and train all parts of the circuits to a state of ultimate perfection.

"Toughen the head, toughen the organs..." In the final stage of her assault, 102 devoted herself to the internal refinement of her viscera.

She asked people to prepare a full table of food for her, laden with cooked beef, lobsters, fried chicken, ice cream, hot pot, soda, and the mouthwatering smell of a large pork knuckle.

Eating was integrated training.

enhanced her nerves and vision to increase perception, strengthened her teeth and facial muscles for better chewing ability, enhanced her tongue to taste a wider array of flavors, strengthened her stomach to hold more food, and fortified her intestines to boost digestion.

Afterward, 102 swept the table clean, eating 400 pounds of food by herself.

The most amazing thing was that she didn’t feel overly full or bloated at all.

Farosa’s divine body must be at this state too, 102 mused.

Although she was not a true god, she could still transform and take on the visage of one.

Did Farosa eat a lot of food? 102 continued to ponder.

Farosa seemed never to eat nor breathe; she only needed to play with Uncle Xu to be able to work.

Could it be that Farosa was powered by the force of love?

Where could 102 find her own power source of love?

She heard the door open, so she consciously lay on the ground, spread-eagled.

came in wearing an apron, helping 102 clean up the area and replenish the training materials. She did not speak to 102, but quietly finished everything, ensuring her sister could continue practicing, then silently left.

My sister is really the best... 102 laid on the ground.

But why was she becoming more and more afraid to look at her sister? What should she do about it?

After another five days of training, 102 woke up to find that her magic circuits had changed.

Pale golden magic filled her circuits, all of them bright, full, and complete, like models cast in gold, with no detail spared, flawless like mass-manufactured goods. Even deep within her body, the circuits were as beautiful as those on the surface, able to carry vast amounts of magic power.

raised her hand to look at her arm, now within her skin and bones lay an unprecedentedly strong circuit, allowing her to fight with ten times the strength she had before.

Previously, a single forceful strike from her could break down a building; now, if she unleashed her power, vast swathes of territory would crumble, earth would fracture, and deep pits would appear.

Before, she had no chance against Pan Ruiyi, but now she had an opportunity. As long as she smartly weakened her opponent and slowly drained Pan Ruiyi’s magic power, 102 could defeat her!

After such a long time at the frontline, accumulating experience, coupled with the direct guidance and elevation by the Witch Goddess, and her development advanced by decades, 102’s power finally crossed the threshold.

"I am the Dominator!" 102 clenched her fist and happily punched the air.
