"Szzz....."
A thick burning sensation spread all over his inner body and swiftly permeated his five bowels and six viscera.
'Let's begin,' Tyrion shut his eyes and leaned on the tub. "Status."
With a swish, the status screen appeared before his eyes.
His gaze went through the listed Attributes and his gaze fell on the "Demonic Blood Cell Tempering"
'Upgrade Demonic Blood Cell Tempering method to Level One,' Tyrion declared in his mind.
Instantly, the screen blurred, and the status display jumped from "Initiated" to "Level One".
"Szzz...."
A faint sizzle entered Tyrion's ears. He looked down into the tub to see the purplish-red liquid turn clear at a visible speed.
At the same time, a hot flush radiated out from inside Tyrion's body, burning him from inside out as his cells became overly stimulated, increasing his cell activation level.
Blood spilled out from the corners of Tyrion's mouth. His injury this time was twice as severe.
His body was like a chaotic river, the demonic blood rampaging@ through him like a tempest, destroying his internal organs as well as his cells but the moment an injury took place, it was quickly healed by his regenerative abilities.
Tyrion endured it purely by his constitution without serious repercussions.
'Looks like I was right, my regenerative ability allows me to absorb as much demonic blood as I want, stimulating my cells as well as increasing Cell activation level.' Tyrion sighed in relief through the pain.
'Typically, the upgrade of the cell Tempering method requires repeated stimulation, for about ten years from the blood demonic method to improve and upgrade the level of the technique but with my system and my astonishing regenerative method, it is quite easy for me to upgrade it as I wish!
'Reaching the ultima level is only a matter of damage points!' Tyrion's eyes shone widely.
He carefully sensed the traces of numbness circulating across the surface of his skin and muscles.
Instead of the blood circulating via the internal viscera, it traveled on the surface of the skin and muscles, forming a network all over the body's surface like a web of steel chains.
Tyrion all the bottles of the demonic blood and absorbs them himself in the tub.
"Let's begin... System,' Tyrion delayed no further. He summoned the system.
A pale blue square frame surfaced.
There were levels to his cell tempering method. According to records, the full mastery of this technique could produce a full evolution effect on the body cells, transforming the body into the shape of the most demonic blood absorbed.
In the next second, Tyrion felt his cells' energy depleting completely while his own body seemed to have inflated a great deal. Gradually, the swelling of his body caused the onset of an intense ache throughout his body.
The square frame of his system blurred rapidly. When it resurfaced, it had altered the Demonic Blood Cell Tempering Method to Level two, its special effect not revealing any signs yet.
The ache from his body swelling all over continued to grow more intense and sharp.
'Could it be that my fleshly body is also nearing its limit?' Tyrion wondered in shock. However, he could distinctly sense that there was still room for him to upgrade. This was vastly different from the very apparent limit of his cells. This sort of pain from his body's swelling was more like the kind that resulted from his body's inability to adapt to the new transformation.
Inside the large room, in the tub, Tyrion's physique gradually swelled and ballooned at a visibly alarming pace. He actually didn't increase in height, but the muscles all over his body expanded a great deal.
Chunks of muscles bulged out furiously, twisting and turning like the tumors on an old tree's branch. They packed tightly on all parts of Tyrion's body as if he were wearing a layer of flesh armor.
'Let's try again!' Tyrion ignored the changes to his body; there would inevitably be costs incurred in his quest for greater power. It was merely a change in his physical form that could always be altered back in the future.
'Upgrade Demonic Blood Tempering Method to the Third Level!' He again called out inwardly.
"Szzz. "
Instantly, the screen blurred for a moment, before the Demonic Blood Tempering Method came back into focus again.
[Demonic Blood Tempering Method: Level three]
Before Tyrion could focus on the changes that had occurred, he could already detect the muscles on his chest inflating rapidly.
Concurrently, a cuticle-like layer gradually cloaked the originally frail skin tissue on all the vulnerable parts of his body, including his crotch, throat, eyelids, and ears.
He raised his hand to rub his throat. There was now a layer of hard and tough film that had grown on the surface of the skin there. Then, he touched his eyelids; they too had grown extremely tough. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could feel a strand of hot current that flowed from within him into his eyelids, which reinforced their strength and sturdiness.
Tyrion was a bit startled but it wasn't shocked. The changes were to be expected as the higher one goes in the Demonic Blood cell Tempering techniques, the more one's cells would acclimate to the genes of that blood.
'According to the information, no one had actually reached the highest level of this technique, which means I won't know if there's something wrong with the technique or not but with the system, there shouldn't be much problem with it.'
The Demonic Blood technique was only a Tempering method, but in reality, it is actually a combat technique!
The strength of his body had actually multiplied many more times compared to previously!
'I've expended a bit of damage points but I still have more than enough to upgrade it.' Tyrion looked at the last row on the Modifier.
He promptly pressed on the selection for the Demonic Blood Tempering technique.
"Szzz..."
This time around, the screen blurred for a full five seconds of time before it slowly refocused.
'Blood Tempering Technique: Max, Special Effect(s): Beast Morph.'
However, all around his body, Tyrion could detect that he had abruptly broken through an ineffable layer of resistance.
