<h4>Chapter 1417: Chapter 1725: Risking One’s Own Body (2)</h4>


    Hearing this, Chen Quan grabbed the middle-aged man’s cor and said coldly, "Listen to me, if anything happens to him, I’ll bury all of you with him, understand?"


    The middle-aged man quickly replied, "Sir Chen, don’t worry, it’s not that bad yet." After speaking, the middle-aged man hurriedly instructed his assistant, "Inject him with painkillers and sedatives, and also inject ten milliliters of cell dissolution solution."


    "What is that cell dissolution solution you’re talking about?" Chen Quan asked.


    "It’s a neutralizing agent that can help alleviate his body’s rejection, giving him enough time for his blood toplete the fusion." After a pause, the middle-aged man continued, "At this point, I’ve done all I can. Now it all depends on him. As long as he can get through this, the experiment is more than half sessful."


    Chen Quan walked to the ss room, looking at the still trembling Zhu Hong, and asked, "Can’t you give him more painkillers?"


    The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "We don’t have enough in stock, we’ve used up all that’s avable. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t withstand this pain. Mr. Zhu’s body is different from ordinary people. It’s not easy for him to hold on until now."


    As time ticked by, Zhu Hong’s fusion continued. At this moment, lying on the bed, Zhu Hong’s face was pale, and he was drenched in sweat. Moreover, the most terrifying thing was that his body was showing a bluish hue, looking extremely frightening.


    Chen Quan couldn’t help but ask, "How much longer will it take?"


    "Hard to say, we don’t have experience with this experiment either." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, his assistant excitedly eximed, "It’s sessful! The body and blood have one hundred percent fused."


    "What about the cell enhancer?" the middle-aged man quickly asked.


    "It’s slowly merging; there shouldn’t be any major problems."


    "Great." Hearing this, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir Chen, rest assured, Mr. Zhu has pulled through."


    "Then how long until he wakes up?"


    "I can’t say for sure. After the cell enhancer merges, there are still a series of tests to undergo, but they are not very dangerous. The main focus is to check the stability of his body to see if there will be any abnormalities."


    In no time, two more hours passed. Zhu Hong was still lying on the bed in the ss room, while the middle-aged man led several researchers to examine Zhu Hong’s body.


    "From the current situation, Mr. Zhu is very stable, with no abnormalities, except that, for some reason, his limbs have be a bit stiff."


    "Stiff?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man pinched Zhu Hong’s hands and feet, finding his limbs extremely rigid, not as soft as a normal person’s skin, but as hard as a steel pipe.


    Seeing this, the middle-aged man asked, "Are you sure there are no abnormalities in his body?"


    The assistant shook his head and said, "His condition looks very good from the data. Could the stiffness be temporary? It might be fer."


    "Then let’s wait and see."


    Unbeknownst to anyone, the night passed. For Zhu Hong’s safety, the middle-aged man and his research team stayed up all night, constantly monitoring Zhu Hong’s condition. Chen Quan didn’t leave either, finding a chair in the warehouse to take a brief nap.


    "Awake!"


    Someone shouted, prompting Chen Quan to open his eyes immediately and quickly walk to the ss room, looking at the iron bed where Zhu Hong was lying.


    At this moment, Zhu Hong slowly opened his eyes, looking at the researchers beside him, and spoke, "Am I still alive?"


    The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhu, congrattions on sessfullypleting the experiment."


    Hearing this, Zhu Hong sat up from the iron bed, then ced his feet on the ground and carefully stood up. Watching Zhu Hong’s movements, the middle-aged man supported his hand and asked, "Mr. Zhu, how do you feel?"


    Zhu Hong nodded, "It’s fine, but..." Saying this, Zhu Hong nced at the middle-aged man supporting his hand, frowning slightly, "Why can’t I feel your hand?"


    "Can’t feel it?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment and immediately took a needle from the side, directly stabbing it into Zhu Hong’s arm, "Mr. Zhu, do you feel anything?"


    "No, I can’t feel anything." As he spoke, Zhu Hong used his left hand to squeeze his right hand, quickly changing his expression, "Why has my body be so stiff?"


    "Well..." The middle-aged man said awkwardly, "Mr. Zhu, we are not sure of the reason either. Based on the data, your body is very healthy, with no difort. So... I guess this might be an aftereffect of the experiment, and it might recover over time."


    "That’s just your guess." Zhu Hong said coldly, "Go, bring a mirror."


    The middle-aged man dared not be slow, hurriedly bringing a mirror in front of Zhu Hong. Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhu Hong found no difference between himself before and after the experiment.


    Putting down the mirror, Zhu Hong moved his hands and feet a little, then walked out of the ss room, directly approaching Chen Quan.


    "Master."


    "How is it, everything okay?"


    "Aside from the stiffness, everything’s fine. Master, I want to test what changes have urred in my body."


    Chen Quan nodded, "Alright, first try your strength. Come, punch me and see."


    Hearing this, Zhu Hong, without hesitation, gathered all his strength and swung his fist towards Chen Quan. As Zhu Hong’s fist approached, Chen Quan stood still. Only when the fist was close did Chen Quan extend a hand to block Zhu Hong’s attack.


    Although Zhu Hong used all his strength, Chen Quan remained stationary, unmoved.


    "Not bad!" Chen Quan nodded affirmatively, "Your strength has increased several timespared to before, seems like the enhancement worked."


    "Only several times?" Zhu Hong was somewhat disappointed, "Master, with my current strength, can Ipete with Ling Chen?"


    "If you want topete with Ling Chen, that’s impossible. Martial arts focus on gradual progression and building a solid foundation. You came into thister and relied on modern technology to enhance your body. In terms of mere physical strength, Ling Chen surely cannot match you, but your biggest w is being unable to utilize Inner Strength, which is the difference between you and him. With your current strength, you canpete with a master from the Dragon List at most, but not someone from the Earthly List unless you can double your current strength."


    "Is it only simr to the Dragon List masters..." Zhu Hong frowned, eyes showing a hint of disappointment. If it’s just like this, then this experiment is a failure. Thinking that all this effort only led to this result, Zhu Hong was unwilling to ept it.
