Every bone inside Virus’ body was currently in its peak condition, meaning it had absorbed a hundred percent of the energy it was supposed to take in. Moreover, the technologically advanced Earth of the future had also invented some methods by utilizing which, one was able to even transmit these energies to the cartilage along with the bones itself!
Actually, the same thing had also taken place when Virus was still at the second level, Altering The Flesh. Because in that particular level, with some minor adjustments, the tendons and ligaments also came to be considered a part of the flesh. Naturally, the veins and arteries, which existed inside the flesh itself, were already considered a part of the flesh in this particular level without any kind of further adjustments necessary.
Anyway, at this time, Virus was attacking the final barrier which was stopping him from breaking through to the next level. He did that naturally by directing a massive amount of energy to his bones while also trying to lead those energies deeper into his bone marrow! And the moment this happened, Virus would successfully breakthrough to the next level.
By now, it’s been four hours since he had been attempting this process, but unfortunately, he kept failing each time… until this very moment.
‘Let’s have a go at the bottleneck one more time.’ As this notion popped into his brain, he started making another attempt.
Inside his body, a massive storm of energy was drawn from the STC inside his heart and while also rotating the Dark Dragon’s Metamorphosis Revolution, he led all of them inside his bones before trying to direct all of them further within.
Outside, beads of sweat kept rolling down from his face. It was obvious this process was a lot harder than it seemed. Then, slowly, some of the energies finally began to seep deeper into his bones.
Ssss~
Immediately, the temperature of his whole body began to increase and with his bones being the center of everything, it was naturally the hottest body part. Actually, If one was able to directly see his bones right now, that person would be shocked to realize they were shining just like melting magma.
This state persisted for thirty seconds before all of it finally began to stir and the next moment, they began sinking to the deepest parts of his bones… his bone marrow!
Success!
I finally did it!
This is… the initial phase of Tempering The Marrow!
After four hours of constant persistence, his efforts finally bore fruit as he crossed over to the fifth level, Tempering The Marrow!
At this time, both of his eyes abruptly opened as he stood up and began to laugh in joy and contentment, “Hahaha… I broke through!”
If the CEO ugly was here right now, he would’ve been speechless other than being filled with a sense of remorse and sorrow while thinking, ‘You didn’t show any kind of reaction for having the power to be able to do whatever you want in an entire country, but now, after experiencing a single breakthrough, you’re this happy? What the hell!’
“Hehe, master must’ve reached another breakthrough.” Came the giggling voice of the golden beauty too from right outside the gravity room.
Seeing her here, Virus turned around before saying, “Haha… yes! Master’s even stronger now. I’m really itching for a battle in order to test my strength though. How about it? Would Lil Belle accompany this weak master of hers to a duel?”
Catching his words, the golden beauty was surprised for a moment before she showed a closed-up smile at her face and phrased, “Sure! Hehe…”
“Then let’s move outside.” Mouthing this, for the very first time since weeks ago, Virus finally stepped out of the gravity room. However, the moment he walked out, an amazing feeling touched and descended upon him!
“Ah… this!” He let out an expected yet surprised yelp. For a moment, he felt so light that his physique had this wondrous illusion that he was currently flying on the moon itself!
If it was someone else in his place right now, that person would’ve definitely lost his center of gravity and balance as he would’ve tumbled on the ground the very next moment. And just like that, he would’ve faced a lot of difficulties before finally getting used to these new conditions of the environment. Though getting used to that was easier said than done because, in reality, it would take a lot of time and practice.
However, Virus being the calculative AI he was… he instantly began to adjust and introduce his mind to this new system of gravity which was very distinct from that of within the gravity room itself and just like that, a few seconds later, he was already familiar with the gravity of that of Earth and understood exactly how much power and weight he had to put behind his every movement.
But, one thing that had to be noted was that at the moment, he was still calculating every motion of himself in order to walk and move naturally. Thus, it couldn’t be called truly getting used to this new extremely light level of gravity.
This was because although his mind could instantly handle this situation by introducing and adjusting his every movement and motion, in reality, he was still calculating every single motion of himself, and until his corporeal body and experience truly elevated to that level and got used to it physically, it couldn’t be called a natural mastery in a true sense.
So, for him to genuinely reach that level of achieving natural mastery in both body movement and body memory which worked in harmony together with his mind, he would require some time and some sessions of simple practicing outside. Though unlike others, he was capable of achieving this level of mastery at an appalling rate.
Nevertheless, after seeing how easy it had become to walk to the point of him almost putting no strength behind each step of himself in order to move, Virus became extremely curious to know how high he could jump and how it felt like to stay in the sky for a few moments with his own power alone! This notion made him really exhilarated because it also sparked a new desire in him… the ability to fly in the sky with his power alone!
.

Soon, they were both outside. However, Virus had already decided to try jumping first before dueling with the golden beauty, so he voiced, “Lil Belle, wait for a moment and let me try something before we begin.”
“Um… okay?” Befuddled, said the golden beauty.
As he vocalized his intention, much to the confusion of the golden beauty, Virus walked a few meters away from her, released every self-control he had on his strength, and began to gather all of his might and momentum as he… jumped!
And just like that… seeing the scene in front of her, the golden beauty’s jaws dropped open so widely that it almost touched the ground itself!
Because… she watched as two feet prints left their trails on the ground and the next moment, her master was there no more!
