Chapter 945 Pain in the Bone Marrow

Everything in the world follows the law of cause and effect. There must be a cause for every effect, and there must be an effect for every cause. This is like an eternal iron law that runs through the heavens and the earth.

Anyone who wants to gain extraordinary power must pay a corresponding price. This is the inevitable law of conservation of power.

Only by going through hardships that ordinary people can unimaginably endure can one break through one's own limits and reach a higher realm.

Take Qin Zhong as an example. His achievements today are by no means accidental. They are the result of experiencing countless life and death tests, enduring pain that ordinary people cannot imagine, and walking step by step in the tempering of blood and fire.

Every powerful warrior knows that if they want to significantly improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, they must choose a training method that far exceeds the conventional method and endure more intense pain.

It's like taking a shortcut. Although the distance is shortened, the thorns on the road are sharper.

It is because he is well aware of this that Qin Zhong chooses to strengthen his companions one by one.

He knew too well the pain of this strengthening process and was worried that if he let everyone witness it, some people might back out.

After all, this method called "Gold Element Infusion" was almost unbearable even for its founder Qin Zhong himself when he tried it for the first time. The pain was enough to make even the strongest warrior tremble.

At this moment, in the steel plant, Qin Zhong was concentrating on operating his domain. The surrounding gold elements seemed to have received some kind of call and began to resonate with him in a wonderful way.

These gold elements containing powerful energy were gradually controlled by him, and under his guidance, a special energy field was formed.

After successfully controlling the first strand of gold element, Qin Zhong took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy on his fingertips, and carefully controlled the almost boiling gold elements that were tempered by high temperature to penetrate into Zhou Luosen's body at an extremely slow speed.

"Woo woo!" Zhou Luosen's painful groan echoed in the empty factory.

How severe is the pain of directly injecting high-temperature gold elements into the body?

It can be compared to someone pouring a pot of boiling magma directly into your body through your throat. Every inch of your skin and every nerve will suffer extreme burning.

And what Zhou Luosen is experiencing at this moment is this inhuman torture.

The moment those scorching gold elements entered Zhou Luosen's body, the terrifying high temperature immediately evaporated part of his blood, dyeing his naked body a horrifying blood red.

What was even more terrifying was that a large amount of blood mist began to seep out from his seven orifices and pores all over his body. He felt like he was being boiled in a steamer, and this was only the first level of pain brought by the high temperature.

Those gold elements, like red-hot steel needles, immediately began to penetrate into Zhou Luosen's bones after entering his body.

At this moment, Zhou Luosen felt that every bone in his body was being repeatedly pierced and struck by countless red-hot iron rods.

This kind of pain was beyond the limit that could be described by the words "pain to the bone marrow". While forcibly transforming his bone structure, those gold elements almost set him on fire from the inside out.

Wave after wave of severe pain, enough to destroy an ordinary person's will, made Zhou Luosen tremble violently all over and almost collapse to the ground.

But Qin Zhong's left hand pressing on his head firmly fixed his body like an iron clamp, depriving him of even the right to fall down.

Time becomes extremely long at this moment, one second, one minute, or one year?

In extreme pain, Zhou Luosen had completely lost the concept of time. He felt like Monkey King, thrown into Laozi's alchemy furnace, undergoing the most brutal tempering.

Just when Zhou Luosen's will was on the verge of collapse, all the pain suddenly receded like a tide, and Qin Zhong's voice sounded in his ears at the right time: "The strengthening is complete, brother!"

"Damn it!"

Zhou Luosen, who had been freed from the hellish pain, had bloodshot eyes. He let out a beast-like roar and swung his fist towards Qin Zhong.

The extreme pain has completely destroyed his sanity. At this moment, he just wants to vent and destroy everything in front of him.

……

"Fuck, Lao Zhou, calm down!"

Seeing the frantic Zhou Luosen, Qin Zhong cried out in alarm and swiftly dodged to the side. With a loud bang, Zhou Luosen's fist smashed a four or five centimeter-deep dent into the thick steel column behind Qin Zhong.

It was not until then that Zhou Luosen came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He stared blankly at the fist marks on the steel pillar and was speechless for a while.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qin..."

Zhou Luosen gradually regained his sanity, lowered his head in shame, and said apologetically: "Just now... I couldn't control myself at all..."

"I understand. I've been through this kind of pain myself."

Qin Zhong waved his hand to interrupt his apology and said calmly, "You must remember that effort and reward are always proportional. Now, feel your new strength."

"strength?"

Zhou Luosen then remembered the purpose of strengthening, and excitedly punched the steel pillar again, but immediately let out a scream: "It hurts so much!"

It turned out that although his bones had been strengthened, the degree of muscle strengthening could not keep up with the strength of the bones. When he punched, the skin and flesh on his fist suddenly felt severe pain.

"I mainly strengthened your skeletal system."

Qin Zhong explained, "Your bone strength, agility, and resistance to blows have increased at least threefold. However, your muscle tissue has only been strengthened by about one-fold, so be careful to control your strength when punching to avoid strain."

Limited by his current control over the gold element, Qin Zhong could only focus on strengthening his bones, but even so, he estimated that Zhou Rosen's overall combat effectiveness had at least increased by more than two times.

"I've definitely gotten stronger!" Zhou Luosen excitedly punched the air a few times, feeling the power surging through his body. "Although the process was painful, this improvement is definitely worth it!"

However, when he thought of what he had just experienced, he couldn't help but shudder and quickly diverted his attention to stop recalling it.

"Put on your clothes quickly. You're all red, like a boiled lobster."

Qin Zhong smiled and handed over the clothes, then warned, "By the way, when you get out, don't tell them how painful strengthening is. I'm afraid they won't dare to come."

"Need I say that? I've suffered so much, none of them can escape!"

Zhou Luosen quickly put on his clothes and laughed, "Brother Qin, don't worry. I promise to trick them all in! Don't miss out!"

After saying that, he waved to Qin Zhong and walked out of the factory in high spirits.

Looking at Zhou Luosen's receding back, Qin Zhong showed a relieved smile. After experiencing the battle video with Xiao Yibai and Ao Mang, the fighting spirit of these brothers was not only not crushed, but burned even more vigorously like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

He firmly believes that with such a group of partners fighting side by side, the Tiangang Organization will surely create an even more glorious future.
