All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 285 - 235: Painful Tempering (Part 2)

"Ding! [Painful Tempering] progress +1."

For the next two hours, he traveled the world, successfully experiencing the pain of the top ten levels.

He found the tenth level of pain with a stray dog, deliberately offering his finger to the dog's mouth, and having it bitten off.

Eleventh level of pain.

Su Xin, possessing an ordinary human body, found a lion on the grassland and fought with it. The result was that he quickly got his neck bitten off and died three times. He couldn't tell whether the pain hadn't reached level eleven or had exceeded it, and the progress didn't achieve completion.

It was not until the fourth time that during the fight, the lion slapped him on the chest, shattering his internal organs with a heart-wrenching pain.

"Ding! [Painful Tempering] progress +1."

Twelfth level of pain.

Su Xin decided to wrestle with the lion again.

This time, the lion seemed bewildered by Su Xin's consecutive resurrections. Seeing the dead Su Xin crawl up again, it turned and fled in fear.

Su Xin had to switch to another area, finding another lone lion to fight.

In fact, after dying so many times, Su Xin was supposed to have a strong resistance to pain. Even if he switched bodies, the degree of pain from the same ordeal would be less severe than for ordinary people.

But the reality is different.

No matter how much pain he experienced, no matter how many times he died, the degree of pain from the same ordeal remained unchanged. Only his tolerance grew stronger, and both body and mind became accustomed, enabling him to face it more calmly.

And it's not that the pain became lighter.

So even though he could calmly face severed fingers and heart-wrenching pain, the task progress was not affected in the slightest.

During the struggle with the lion.

Su Xin once had his chest and abdomen torn open by the lion, pulling out chunks of internal organs, finally completing the twelfth level of pain.

Nearing the thirteenth level.

Su Xin was ferociously bitten by a group of lions, until once, perhaps due to luck, he wasn't injured in critical areas, his body mangled like a rag, but still survived holding on to his last breath. Only then did he finally achieve the thirteenth point of progress.

Fourteenth level.

After various attempts, Su Xin simply went to an active volcano's mouth and jumped in.

With an ordinary human body, bathing in scorching lava, his skin and muscles began to dissolve instantly, like a snowman thrown into a furnace, his body slowly disappearing.

In the initial few seconds.

Su Xin still maintained some sanity, only completely numbed by pain.

Apart from the extreme pain, he lost all other sensations.

Fortunately.

Before he completely lost consciousness—

"Ding! [Painful Tempering] progress +1."

As for the final fifteenth level of pain.

Su Xin tried various methods.

Freefalling from several thousand meters.

Crushed into minced meat.

Attracting a swarm of sharks in the sea.

Being ferociously bitten.

Even stealthily diving to different depths of the deep sea in stealth state, then suddenly revealed himself, enduring the terrifying pressure of seawater, dying instantly at depths of ten thousand meters, while eyeballs and internal organs exploded at depths of hundreds of meters, slowly dying from suffocation.

Finally, he flew at several Mach speeds towards a sharp rock, colliding head-on with his forehead.

After trying all the methods, the last point of task progress still did not succeed.

It seemed like the fourteenth level of pain was already the extreme of human sensations.

When more painful scenarios occurred, the human body couldn't withstand and died.

Su Xin sat at the edge of a cliff, furrowing his brows deeply, contemplating the final point of progress.

"The endurance of an ordinary body is not enough, dying too easily without reaching the fifteenth level of pain..."

"But if I use my original body, no mountain of blades or oven of fire can harm me, let alone experience the fifteenth level of pain."

"Perhaps a journey to the sun should be attempted?"

Su Xin quickly dismissed this idea.

A trip to the sun would at least take two years round trip, wasting so much time is not worthwhile.

Moreover, success is not guaranteed.

"Maybe, I still must find a way for the ordinary body to experience the fifteenth level of pain."

"Since the tolerance of an ordinary body is so poor, then find a way to enhance this tolerance..."

While Su Xin was pondering, a sudden flash of insight appeared in his mind.

"Huh?"

"Right! Life Talisman!"

Su Xin's eyes suddenly brightened.

The Life Talisman can grant ordinary individuals relatively strong wound recovery capabilities, though not comparable to Superpower Users with rapid recovery abilities, it is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

This can be considered as enhancing tolerance.

Perhaps originally, when the pain level was about to reach fifteen, this ordinary body would already succumb to pain and die.

But with strong wound recovery abilities, delaying injuries, preserving his life, allowing him to hold on a few more seconds, he might just reach the fifteenth level of pain.

Previously, Su Xin didn't plant a Life Talisman on himself mainly because he himself possessed resurrection abilities, and the wound recovery effect was of no significance to him.

Therefore.

He generally only planted five Death Talismans on himself, ensuring that his original self could commit suicide whenever he wanted to die.

With the thought of this method, Su Xin immediately decided to try it.

First, he used up all five Death Talismans within him, then planted five Life Talismans on himself.

However.

The Life Lodging feature requires slowly absorbing life force, after which the wound recovery effect materializes.

Su Xin could only wait.

After another dozen hours.

It was the afternoon of December 24th, approaching 48 hours since the task triggered.

Thinking it was about time, Su Xin instantaneously teleported to the volcano's mouth, transformed into an ordinary person, and leapt into the volcano's interior.

"Boom!"

He fiercely crashed into the lava.

The terrifying high temperatures instantly melted his skin and outer layers of flesh, evaporating them.

But then, a massive life force surged from the five Life Talismans within him, beginning to rapidly restore the wounds on his body surface.

The terrifying high temperatures continued to burn.

The massive life force continuously repaired.

In this way, Su Xin's body repeatedly cycled between injury and recovery.

This brought endless torment.

Even Su Xin, who had already experienced countless deaths, felt extremely intense pain and torment, several times couldn't resist wanting to revert to his original self, only holding on due to his commitment to the task.

Lava flowed through his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, into his five senses, into his stomach, lingering inside his body before the wounds could recover.

The terrifying high temperatures scorched and roasted both inside and outside of him, rapidly melting yet quickly restoring various parts of his body.

Burning pain! Itchy numbness!

As if all organs, all viscera, were torn apart repeatedly and restored each time.

What surprised and moved Su Xin was, due to the tremendous life force of his original self, the life force accumulated by the five Life Talismans was extraordinarily huge, especially after transforming into an ordinary individual, this life force granted him the formidable recovery ability comparable to the Undying Body.

By absorbing life force from his original self and using it on his transformed ordinary body, it was equivalent to using a god's enormous life force to restore an ant's body, the effect is imaginable.

Compared to ordinary people.

The Life Lodging feature truly showed its miracle effect only on Su Xin himself.

If life force accumulated for a bit longer, perhaps he could swim freely in lava with an ordinary human body.

In Su Xin's painful torment.

Dozens of seconds passed.

"Ding! [Painful Tempering] progress +1."

"Ding! Congratulations host, [Painful Tempering] task completed, reward: superpower awakening opportunity once, would you like to use it?"

Upon hearing the system prompt.

Su Xin immediately activated his thoughts.

Cancel the Surrogate feature.

His body instantly reverted to its original self.

The lava, which just now brought him endless pain, became like warm bathwater, tenderly enveloping his body, unable to harm a single strand of his hair.

Su Xin opened his eyes in the lava.

The terrifying lava, reaching over a thousand degrees Celsius, was like ordinary water to him now, his eyes could directly contact it and see clearly.
