Chapter 464: 464
Hearing that an expert would need a spiritual body if he wanted to mutate him with essence blood, Xue Wei was not in a hurry to mutate Hei Gou . He knew that while Hei Gou was strong, he was not stronger than a King ranked expert .
Knowing this, he put his focus on the nine normally mutated experts, curious to see how many would pull through, and how many would be unable to handle the pressure .
He did not feel any psychological pressure knowing that it was because of his blood that these people were struggling between life and death . Many would be eager to get the chance of a mutation, so even if someone lost their life in the pursuit of strength, then it was not his fault, but the case of them not having a strong and firm enough mind .
Many of the comrades of the picked experts were nervous and felt uncomfortable . No one knew in detail what was going on; they just knew that these picked experts had been chosen to undergo a mutation to strengthen themselves . They did not know how or why .
Not long after, the first person woke up from the painful trance he had been in, and he found that his body was bursting with energy . He had increased his strength, and his innate talent rose drastically .
He had initially been skeptical when he was told that the blood of Xue Wei could cause such miracles, but now he admired him greatly . He was a hero and a genius!
Slowly the men and women woke up one after another; only one person did not rise again .
She was a young primordial beast . She had not initially been picked to participate, but she had begged Lin Xuan to let her join, and eventually, he had given in . Unfortunately, she had not had the determination to withstand the pain, and she had given up her life .
Xue Wei was not too troubled by it . She had initially not been supposed to be one of the people who had a chance, and she convinced Lin Xuan to let her try anyway . She had to be aware of what consequences this might bring for her .
Unfortunately, she had been so adamant about trying it out because her lover had been picked . He had also succeeded in his mutation, but it was not joy that awaited him when he woke up, but the grief of losing a loved one .
"Why did you let her attempt the mutation?" He yelled, his eyes red from crying and his body trembling . He was unable to hold back his emotions, and while he blamed himself, he also blamed Xue Wei for having tried to mutate her .
He knew that she was not very strong-willed, but by the time she had pestered Lin Xuan to let her participate in the mutation group, he had already been given the blood and was undergoing mutation .
Xue Wei's eyes turned cold when he heard how this guy was blaming him . His anger was not unreasonable .
"Everyone is responsible for their own lives," Xue Wei said with a cold voice . "She was aware of what the risks were, we told her the facts numerous times, but she was the one who played around with her life and ultimately lost it . "
The man was stunned when he heard Xue Wei's words, and while his rationality understood the truth, he was currently too emotional to sit down and think it through .
Just as he was about to flare up, Lin Xuan appeared behind him and knocked him out . He had seen that Xue Wei was about to lose his patience and that he was unhappy .
Xue Wei had mutated the experts for the sake of helping the army, but now he was being blamed instead; it was clear that he was unhappy with this .
The others who had been mutated were quiet . Some of them felt fearful when they saw that a person had indeed died, and they realized that they had been honest when saying that it was dangerous, but none of them regretted accepting the strength that they had been gifted .
It was as if they had been reborn . Although their talents were already considered outstanding, it was nothing compared to the potential their bodies had now . Most of them knew that their limits were the peak of the Saint realm, but now they had a feeling that anything in the world was possible for them, that they could even become Kings, and that even the Emperor Realm was also possible for them .
Although they might have died, the risk had paid off, and they had managed to get stronger and go further . This was worth risking one's life for!
But they also understood the pain of the expert who now had been knocked unconscious . This world was not a place for the weak, and everyone who was aiming for strength lost someone along the road .
So far, Xue Wei had lost Tie Haolong and his parents . Even the whereabouts of his uncle were unknown . The only ones who remained by his side were the friends he had gathered over the years .
Knowing the pain of losing someone, Xue Wei was going to do everything in his power to protect the ones he held dear . Although he had many wishes, nothing was more important than reaching them alongside his dear ones .
If he one day succeeded, but was all alone, then it would not be worth it . Standing alone on top of the world would be extremely lonesome, and he was unwilling to do so .
He only wanted to conquer the world with his friends by his side .
