The noisy sounds gradually faded, and a few minutes later, Bai Fu caught someone in a white coat, questioned him, and indeed found the location of the Spiritual Ability Prototype. She first destroyed the Spiritual Ability Prototype, completed the task, and easily credited 500,000 Experience. Then she went to where Black Fu hid things, and seeing that all the materials were intact, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, they weren't damaged by the aftermath of the battle."
These materials were treasures that could be exchanged for money and attract Players!
Bai Fu placed the injured Julia on a chair, popped her head out of the door to ensure no one was nearby, then gently closed the door.
The moment the door closed, Julia's heart skipped a beat.
Something's not right!
Bai Fu's look outside just now was off, and suddenly bringing her here was even more strange—two odd things adding up. Could it mean?
That doesn't sound good.
Julia said, "I think we should wait a bit more."
Bai Fu pursed her lips, "There's no time to wait, what are you waiting for? Okay, stop talking, I have serious things to handle."
Julia's eyes drooped slightly, "At least let me recover a bit."
Bai Fu said, "How much can you really recover? Stop complaining, I'm in a hurry."
"Sigh, you've put it that way, I..."
Julia kicked off a shoe, just then, she suddenly saw Bai Fu pull a potion bottle from her pocket and drink down the potion.
She widened her eyes, realizing things weren't as she thought. She saw Bai Fu sit against the wall, clenching her teeth slightly, a faint look of pain on her face.
Was this the "serious matter" Bai Fu was talking about?
"Why are you taking off your shoes?" Bai Fu asked, puzzled.
"..." Julia instantly reverted to her icy poker-face expression, "I want to, and it doesn't stink or bother you."
Bai Fu had just drunk the Potential Activation Potion, which needed 10 minutes to digest. Throughout the digestion, there was a lingering sense of mild pain inside her, but she had fought long enough to endure the pain.
After 10 minutes, the pain vanished, replaced by a tranquility akin to the Wise State.
[Potential Activation complete, you have received attribute correction—
Power +15, Agility +13, Constitution +7, Intelligence +9, Spirit +11, Inspiration +9]
Seeing this prompt, Bai Fu couldn't help but gasp. A single bottle added 64 points to her attributes; no wonder the Truth Society treasured Julia!
Unfortunately, this potion could only be drunk once more, any more would cause significant damage to her body. According to the potion's instructions, there was even a chance of being assimilated by Julia. She planned to take the remaining two doses back for An Ya and Old Nison.
Bai Fu seized the moment and claimed her genetic optimization reward.
This physical sensation was worse than drinking the Potential Potion, possibly because the change started with the genes and radiated outward, from limbs to the depths of the mind, that sharp pain made one want to groan in agony.
"Are you okay?" Julia's face paled.
Bai Fu waved her off: "I'm fine."
The pain from the evolution was more intense, but it lasted much shorter than the Potential Activation, and soon she received a new prompt.
[You have completed genetic optimization, your Race has changed to Adaptive Star]
[Race change complete, you have received attribute correction—
Power +12, Agility +7, Constitution +6, Intelligence +9, Spirit +13, Inspiration +7]
Her body's potential had already been well-developed, so the attribute increase from this Racial Evolution wasn't substantial.
However, the greatest change Racial Evolution brought Bai Fu wasn't the attribute correction, but rather the improvement in Resistance and the transformation ratio of Constitution: Life Value, now every 1 point of Constitution could convert into 30 points of Life Value.
Bai Fu didn't hesitate and began leveling up vigorously, investing over 18 million Experience, successfully leveling up the Spiritual Ability Painter from Lv8 to Lv14.
[Life Value]: 5607/5607
[Spiritual Ability Value]: 3865/4665
[Attributes]: Power 65, Agility 106, Constitution 169, Intelligence 82, Spirit 93, Inspiration 309
Compared to when she arrived at the Truth Society headquarters, all her statistics had experienced a dramatic increase.
Bai Fu felt her senses sharpened; her sense of smell had greatly improved. Without opening her eyes, she could easily lock onto Julia.
She clenched her right fist, feeling an itch, wanting to do something.
She turned and threw a punch at the wall beside her. Even without the support of Spiritual Energy, her punch easily made a hole through the wall.
"Now I can take on two of my former selves!"
Bai Fu slowly exhaled, a look of joy in her eyes, planning her next steps to send the Genetic Primordials on their way and find a method to leave the Ancestral Origin Star!
"Have you recovered?"
Julia asked softly, currently very weak, but her Perception had not decreased much. Just now, she suddenly noticed Bai Fu's aura had strengthened significantly, signaling a breakthrough in power.
Bai Fu smiled and said, "Almost, except the Spiritual Energy hasn't fully recovered. I've run out of Prayer Cards, Black Fu can't summon again for a while, but I should be able to handle any trouble that may come."
"That doesn't sound like a full recovery to me."
Julia was nearly speechless.
A Spiritual Ability Prayer Master without Spiritual Energy couldn't unleash much power, just like herself. If she had Spiritual Energy, she would have escaped the Truth Society long ago, not needing Bai Fu's rescue.
"Let me help you bridge the gap."
Julia stood up, walked barefooted towards Bai Fu.
"Don't overthink it, I just want to ensure a smooth return to Goli Desert. Before that, I need your power to be at its peak."
Julia stood up and delivered an average hit, A.
