Lu Zhen slowly inhaled and exhaled the air as he walked forward.

[You have adapted to Grimgar poisons.]

[Your Adapt skill has levelled up from Level 3 to Level 4.]

Seeing the level-up prompt, Lu Zhen felt satisfied. However, nothing happened after the prompt. No matter how hard he inhaled the poison, he couldn't level up at all.

Lu Zhen frowned as he sensed that the poison no longer affected him in any way. Whenever he inhaled the poison, it felt like air to him, and his body showed no reaction, preventing him from leveling up.

"Looks like I can't level up at all with this poison now," Lu Zhen thought with some disappointment. He had thought that since the system prompt even showed the name of the poison, it was special. However, only levelling up his Adapt skill twice with it left him feeling a little disappointed.

"Weak poison, I thought it was special," Lu Zhen said, pausing for a second.

"Since I can't level up my Adapt skill, it would be useless to me now." Looking at the colourless poison in the air as if he could see the poison, Lu Zhen felt a little disappointed. However, he suddenly thought of a way to make use of this poison.

"Oh, Xia Long, you are going to die a miserable death today," Lu Zhen sneered. Although he didn't know who had caused this poison, his hunch told him it must have been Xia Long.

With every breath, his metabolism worked wonders, converting the poison into qi, which his body absorbed. His qi storage gradually increased, and his body expanded from the influx of air. His muscles grew slightly, though there were no significant changes.

The qi strengthened his body, while the energy nurtured it. After a considerable time, almost all the poison had been absorbed, and his body had reached a towering height of 15 feet. He then exhaled all the air he had taken in, returning to his normal state.

[You have consumed poison.]

[Gluttony skill has leveled up from level 5 to level 6.]

Seeing the prompt, Lu Zhen had successfully tested his conjecture.

"Looks like the Gluttony skill only increases my metabolism to an insane level, allowing me to eat anything I want with it," Lu Zhen thought with satisfaction. However, he now knew that the skill wasn't too heaven-defying, as he wasn't immune to anything outside his stomach. It only affected his metabolism, and there should be a limit to his gluttony too. If there was no limitation lu zhen could very well be invincible.

"I will grant you an excruciating death for helping me test my skills, Xia Long," Lu Zhen sneered to himself as he quickly made his way out of the cave as his footstep quickened.

Meanwhile, Xia Long's face contorted with disbelief as he stood outside the cave, his senses tingling with an odd sensation. He could clearly perceive that all the poison in the air was being sucked dry by something within the cave. Despite the poison being colourless, Xia Long wasn't stupid to not even have a technique to sense the poison. Especially after going through so much trouble to just get the poison.

And the fact that every trace of poison was vanishing into the cave's depths, as if it were a bottomless void, filled him with an overwhelming sense of disbelief. He couldn't comprehend how this was happening, and his mind raced to make sense of the impossible.
