Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Soul [PART 1]

During dinner, it was only Xiang Yu and Elder Guo. Elder Huang and Li Yao were still busy as always. They chatted casually as they ate, with Elder Guo sharing stories and cultivation insights while Xiang Yu listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

When he returned to the spirit vein, Xiang Yu removed his robes and stepped into the spirit spring, feeling the spiritual energy immediately begin to permeate his skin.

"This time, I’ll push myself twice as long as yesterday," he thought. His eyes drifted to the two hundred eighth-grade healing pills he had refined earlier. "I’ve prepared properly. Tonight, I’m really going all out."

Xiang Yu took several deep breaths, clearing his mind and steadying his nerves. The anticipation of what was to come sent a shiver down his spine. After one final moment of preparation, he released his control over the bloodlines within him.

The effect was instantaneous. The dragon and phoenix essences shot through his veins like lightning, hurtling toward each other with primal aggression. The moment they collided, Xiang Yu’s skin ruptured in dozens of places, blood seeping from the wounds as internal damage spread like wildfire.

Pain erupted through every fiber of his being, far more intense than his previous session. Xiang Yu clenched his teeth so hard he feared they might crack, yet he refused to make a sound. "It’s even worse than last time," he realized through the haze of agony. He had assumed the pain would become more manageable as his body strengthened, but he’d overlooked a crucial detail—the bloodlines were growing stronger alongside him.

An hour later, Xiang Yu’s trembling hand reached for his tenth pill. He swallowed it with difficulty, his throat raw from suppressed screams. "Still a few hours left to endure," he reminded himself, his determination unwavering despite the torment.

After another two hours, his condition had deteriorated dramatically. His skin was torn open across his entire body, and his internal organs had been reduced to a chaotic mess of damaged tissue. With bloodied, shaking hands, he grabbed twenty pills and swallowed them in one gulp. His critically damaged body absorbed their effects immediately, desperately trying to repair the devastation. Yet each healed wound would reopen seconds later as the relentless bloodlines continued their vicious battle.

Another hour passed. Xiang Yu clung to consciousness by a thread, his vision blurring as he forced himself to swallow another pill. "I’ve taken so many pills," he thought hazily. "If it weren’t for my Transcendent Dao Body’s ability to refine them, I’d have died from pill poisoning long ago. Anyone else’s body would have started rejecting them after the first dozen."

As yet another hour dragged by, Xiang Yu reached his absolute breaking point. His body screamed for relief, begging him to stop the bloodlines’ conflict. The sensation resembled holding one’s breath underwater far past the point of comfort—every instinct demanded he release control and end the self-imposed torture.

With herculean effort, Xiang Yu fought against his survival instincts. His hand trembled violently as he reached for another twenty pills, swallowing them desperately. The medicinal energy provided momentary relief, allowing him to reclaim a sliver of clarity.

"How long has it been?" he wondered, his thoughts fragmented by pain. His question was answered as the familiar notification finally appeared before his eyes:
