Looking around, he estimated the distance from the barricade to the inside of the dock.
Damn, that’s at least 200 meters!
Why doesn’t the damn tendency to self-destruct manifest in these policemen?
He tries to communicate with the [Mutated Stone] to absorb the energy from the fire.
Unfortunately, there’s no change.
The distance still needs to be further.
Qi Jun frowned, realizing he must get closer.
………………….
Boom!!!
Just as Qi Jun had just crossed the crowd and passed through the barricade, another explosion erupted at the dock.
Almost instantly, a shockwave swept across.
Of course, this chain of secondary explosions could have been more powerful, or rather, the shockwave wasn’t that significant.
Not to mention the unharmed Qi Jun, even the spectating crowd behind the barricade only staggered back a step or two.
However, this also deterred the rebellious youths from charging into the barricade.
Reckless as they are, it’s not the same as seeking death.
But how long can this brief restraint last?
Qi Jun shook his head, unconcerned, and continued forward.
………………….
The dock not only smuggled a large amount of crude oil controlled by a gang but how could it just smuggle crude oil?
Among them, there must also be a large amount of merchandise that is easy to sell and highly valuable.
Some of these items might not be flammable, but some are flammable and explosive!
The previous explosion of containers full of crude oil had splattered oil everywhere, turning the entire dock into a sea of fire.
The vast flames and high temperatures, along with those flammable and explosive items, naturally made it easier for other containers to be heated to the point of explosion!
The dock engulfed in flames witnessed many large and continuous small explosions.
It’s really like ‘adding fuel to the fire’!
………………….
In this situation, Qi Jun, carefully approaching step by step, finally arrived at the fire’s edge.
Looking at his dwindling energy reserves, Qi Jun silently prayed: It must absorb! It must absorb! It must absorb!
Hiss~~~
Sigh~~~
Taking a deep breath, Qi Jun communicates with the [Mutated Stone] and begins trying to harvest the energy from the fire.
Roar!!!
Huge flames suddenly shot up!
Qi Jun was startled.
But!
Seeing the energy points in his mind rapidly increasing, a smile spread across Qi Jun’s handsome face!
Even the ‘Rorschach’s Mask’ he wore seemed more animated due to Qi Jun’s smile.
+1
+1
+1
Watching the continuously rising energy points, Qi Jun was ecstatic!
“Ha ha ha!!!”
“I knew it!”
“I just knew it!”
“That it could even recycle and absorb from corpses!”
“How could it not absorb the energy of the flames!”
Qi Jun laughed maniacally.
“I’m ridiculous!”
“I’ve even absorbed electrical energy back at that small hotel!”
“How did I not think of absorbing pyro-energy!”
“Silly!”
“Really!”
“Woo woo woo~~~”
His laughter mixed with a hint of crying.
As the energy points surged massively, Qi Jun couldn’t help but cry out loud!
Who could know how oppressed Qi Jun had felt after being transported to the Marvel universe?
It is now, having finally absorbed a significant amount of energy.
Even though he knew sunbathing could increase energy, those tiny gains were like a drop in the bucket for Qi Jun!
How long would it take to save up using sunlight for Qi Jun to become powerful enough to fly into space and face the sun for infinite strengthening?
Perhaps, having finally found a way to increase his energy significantly, Qi Jun was wholly relaxed and inadvertently broke into tears.
………………….
Having vented, it was only a short time before Qi Jun felt much lighter overall.
An innocent smile once again spread across his face.
It seemed as if he had been reborn!
No!
This wasn’t an illusion!
Qi Jun clenched his fists tightly.
Power! It had increased!
Like when Qi Jun absorbed sunlight, Qi Jun’s body was refined simultaneously as he absorbed pyro-energy.
Instead, whenever Qi Jun actively absorbs energy, this energy coarsely refines Qi Jun’s body before it is fully absorbed!
And a body tempered by this process would also enhance the upper limit of energy absorption! This was utterly a proportional benefit!
But!
If the energy absorbed at one time was too vast, surpassing the limits the body’s refinement could withstand.
Then, the body naturally couldn’t handle it, and continuing to absorb it forcefully could lead to being torn apart by the excess energy.
………………….
Indeed, it wasn’t long before the fire at the scene remained violent.
But Qi Jun felt his body nearly reaching its limit, the entire person torn apart by the energy refinement to the point of unbearable pain!
“Ah~~~”
“Ah ah ah~~~~”
“Stop~”
“Stop!!!”
After growling out these words.
Indeed, the [Mutated Stone] stopped actively absorbing energy.
Qi Jun’s body suddenly felt lighter, and he slumped to the ground.
“Hehe~~~”
“Hehehehe~~~”
But Qi Jun wasn’t crying because of the pain.
Instead, looking at the energy amount displayed in his mind, he almost fell into silly laughter.
500 points!
A whole five hundred energy points!
Having never seen so much energy before, Qi Jun was nearly laughing himself silly!
………………….
But!
It’s not enough!
Need more!
Lifting his head, he saw the fire at the dock had not diminished, and the burning material made the fire even more intense due to more containers exploding!
Energy!
The immense energy in the blazing inferno!
Qi Jun’s eyes sparkled with greed!
“It’s mine!”
“All of it is mine!”
“I must not let this energy go to waste!”
Feeling the continuous pain in his body, Qi Jun’s gaze was unwavering!
Something must be done!
He couldn’t let this godsend of immense energy go to waste!
A gift from heaven not taken is a sin!
Yes!
Enhance the body!
Only a more substantial body can withstand more significant, more energy!
Thinking of the [Mutated Stone] materializing a body enhancement serum.
Qi Jun fell into a frenzy of ecstasy again!
