I Contracted Myself-Chapter 96 – From a king

Zhao Yanlong looked at Zhang Ping in astonishment and couldn't help but ask, "How many abilities do you actually have?"

So far, he had seen Zhang Ping use four abilities, and now the air had cooled, clearly indicating Zhang Ping had used another unknown ability.

"You can take a guess!" Zhang Ping was in a good mood and wasn't upset by Zhao Yanlong's probing.

These two brothers were like treasure-bringing boys to him. Zhao Yanlong's blood gave him the Old King's Blood, and Zhao Yanhu's blood was even more exaggerated, directly upgrading his version.

Perhaps this is what they mean by good things happening to good people.

If Zhang Ping had let Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanhu die in the base, he would never have had the chance to obtain Zhao Yanhu's blood, nor would he have experienced such an exaggerated upgrade.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yanlong wasn't in the mood to play guessing games. Seeing Zhang Ping not answering, he simply turned his head away.

Zhang Ping chuckled and prepared to test the abilities of the King's Gem next.

The King's Gem is somewhat similar to the Contract Gem, both condensing into a gem, but the King's Gem comes with special abilities.

However, after condensing the first King's Gem, he found that it was different from what he imagined. It wasn't like the Marvel Infinity Gems that could grant others power but was more akin to a Weapon Contract.

The difference is that a Weapon Contract requires others to store abilities, while the King's Gem comes with its own abilities.

The first King's Gem he condensed had the ability to explode. Just by throwing the gem at a target and willing it, it would explode with a power similar to a landmine.

Better than nothing.

Zhang Ping mentally evaluated the first King's Gem.

Then, he consumed more blood to condense a second King's Gem.

He discovered that although all King's Gems were golden, their shapes were not fixed. The first explosive King's Gem was an irregular octagon, while this one was shaped like a key.

The Key to the Gem Gate.

This gem could open a golden gem door, allowing passage to any destination within a five-kilometer range.

Upon understanding the ability of the Key to the Gem Gate, Zhang Ping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just when you think it's a dead end, a new path emerges.

Indeed, men with squinty eyes never have bad luck.

Zhang Ping toyed with the gem key, his gaze shifting to Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanhu.

With newfound confidence, he prepared to chat with the two to verify some of his suspicions.

He looked at Zhao Yanlong and asked, "Is your brother's purity higher than yours?"

"How did you know... What did you guess?" Zhao Yanlong was initially shocked, almost blurting out, but caught himself halfway and looked at Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "After appraising, I found that both your and your brother's abilities have the same name, both called Holy Mother's Blood.

After drinking your blood, I gained an ability called Old King's Blood. Just now, I got lucky and drank your brother's blood, which evolved the Old King's Blood into True King's Blood. Do you think I wouldn't have any thoughts about that?"

"…"

Zhao Yanlong looked at Zhang Ping in shock. Drinking other people's blood to gain abilities?

He said with a bitter voice, "Isn't there only one Infinite Grade Awakener in Mingzhu City? You can't be Situ Shibai."

"Of course not. My name is Zhang Ping, the second Infinite Grade Awakener in Mingzhu City. So, can you tell me what's going on with you and your brother?" Zhang Ping admitted openly.

He had fully grown, making it almost impossible to be killed.

Especially with the King's Blood Body paired with the King's Gem, he could continuously create various ability gems under the sun during the day.

With a few more gem keys, he would have an extremely strong escape ability, making it impossible for Awakeners without spatial abilities to catch him.

Perhaps because they were in a desperate situation and facing Zhang Ping, Zhao Yanlong hesitated for a while before finally deciding to speak, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Both Tiger and I come from the Sanctuary, which has a technology that can forcibly awaken ordinary people. Both Tiger and I are artificial Awakeners, and indeed, my completion isn't as high as Tiger's."

Artificial Awakeners!

Can forcibly awaken ordinary people?

Zhang Ping's eyes widened in shock.

"Doesn't this awakening have any limitations?" he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yanlong denied, "How could there be no limitations? This technology can only be used on children aged five to eighteen. Below five, it has no effect, and above eighteen, the probability of death increases by ten percent each year. After twenty-eight, using this technology is certain death."

"That's still terrifying," Zhang Ping pondered.

If this technology could be popularized, wouldn't it mean all humans could become Awakeners?

Zhao Yanlong smiled bitterly, "You might have misunderstood. I mean, being able to use this technology doesn't mean a 100% chance of awakening. The probability of awakening is still not particularly high; it just gives an additional chance to awaken."

"That's still quite impressive."

Zhang Ping still saw great potential in promoting this technology.

Zhao Yanhu, who had woken up at some point, spoke up, "It's not good at all. You have no idea how torturous this technology is."

"Oh? How torturous?" Zhang Ping asked Zhao Yanhu directly.

Zhao Yanhu recalled, "Both my brother and I couldn't naturally awaken by seventeen, so we were sent to the Sanctuary by the head of the Orphanage for transformation.

Every morning, we were whipped by two executioners, had our fingers pierced with needles, our skin cut with knives, and then forced to take some unknown medicine. After taking the medicine, we underwent mental hypnosis, day after day, until we were injected with a dark red liquid."

"And then you awakened?" Zhang Ping asked curiously.

However, this kind of torture wasn't something an average person could endure, and he immediately dismissed the idea of 'eventually popularizing this technology.'

Zhao Yanlong couldn't help but laugh, "After being injected with that liquid, we realized that the previous torture was nothing compared to the pain brought by the liquid. That pain was truly unforgettable, and just thinking about it now makes us tremble."

"That liquid... does it come from a king?" Zhang Ping asked abruptly.

Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanhu fell silent, and finally, Zhao Yanlong answered, "Not sure, but I guess it might be."

Originally, he didn't know what the red liquid was.

But Zhang Ping's mention of Holy Mother's Blood, Old King's Blood, and True King's Blood sparked the same suspicion in his mind as Zhang Ping's.
