Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

The potion entered my mouth like a piece of cool jelly sliding into my stomach. A second or two later, Audis suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train.

His entire body felt like it was falling apart, and every inch of his skin was as painful as if it were being pricked with needles.

Immediately afterward, his head buzzed, and he experienced a severe ringing in his ears. Everything in front of him was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

Audis tried to focus his mind, managing not to faint from the intense pain and tinnitus.

He felt as if giant hands were kneading his muscles, tearing chunks of muscle from his bones, gathering them together, and then relaxing them again.

This process repeated endlessly, and Audis felt his whole body go numb with pain.

He struggled against the pain, trying to avoid losing consciousness. He didn't know how long it lasted, but eventually, the blackness in front of Audis's eyes began to fade, and his vision gradually returned.

He vaguely saw that the muscles on his entire arm were indeed being twisted together by an invisible force, forming a terrifying spiral shape. Soon, the muscles unfolded again.

Then, they were twisted together again.

That wasn't an illusion. The potion was actually tearing apart his body, reshaping his muscles, bones, and blood vessels!

At this moment, a piercing pain attacked his head, gradually taking over.

Audis felt his vision distort due to the pain in his head. The ground, the experimental platform, the ceiling, the beakers, the graduated cylinders—everything was spinning rapidly!

The dizziness and pain tormented Audis's mind, making him feel as if he were in the midst of a violent storm, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Fortunately, his "Secrets Sorcerer" potion was digesting well, and he had been using "Meditation" to train his mind regularly. After passing through a certain stage, the intense dizziness and pain quickly subsided.

The buzzing in his ears also disappeared, and suddenly, a strange and cold voice entered his ears: "…Universe…Piling…Jumping…Knowledge…Kanar…Endless…"

Most of this was unclear, and he could only occasionally understand a few words.

Those unclear parts were either like the low growls of ferocious beasts, making Audis's heart pound, or like fingernails scratching thin iron plates, emitting sharp noises that made him extremely irritable, or like ultrasonic waves that could cause harm, making him dizzy and lightheaded.

Fortunately, the voice came and went quickly.

But it was enough to make the veins on Audis's forehead bulge, his face turn pale, and he slump back into his chair, retching for a long time.

A minute or two later, Audis gasped for breath, leaning back in his chair to rest.

It felt a lot like being hungover, with his whole body weak and his head throbbing.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The entire advancement process had only taken about three minutes. The previous pain had lasted less than two minutes, but it felt like an entire century had passed!

And the subsequent discomfort was entirely due to the voice of the "Hidden Sage" after the advancement!

Having just advanced, his spirituality was inherently unstable, and the "Hidden Sage's" two shouts made this instability even worse, almost leading to a sign of loss of control.

What a rip-off!

Audis lamented: What's even worse than having a True God in this pathway is that the unique deity in this pathway is an evil god!

Then he discovered that his "Combat Scholar" potion had already digested half of it.

This allowed his mind to relax relatively, not so tense, so the discomfort in his body quickly disappeared.

After thinking for a moment, Audis understood: What I digested in advance was the "Scholar" part of "Combat Scholar"!

His research in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" every Sunday, as well as the experiments he conducted in the real world, were all like a scholar, studying mysticism!

Over the past three years, Audis had conducted various studies in his dreams, in the "Wilderness of Knowledge," for a total duration of about twenty years.

Adding the three years of research in the real world, that's twenty-three years! It's almost equal to his age.

The key is that there are also fruitful results, which can definitely digest a portion of the potion in advance.

Immediately afterward, Audis realized that digesting the "Combat Scholar" potion required separating "Combat" and "Scholar." The focus should not always be on "Combat," because the name of the potion is "Combat Scholar," not "Combatant."

Obviously, "Combat" is a guarantee or method for "Scholars" to do research.

Of course, studying "Combat" can also be one of the ways for "Scholars" to understand the world.

Thinking of this, Audis suddenly smiled, feeling like "it's not scary if a hooligan knows martial arts, it's scary if a hooligan has culture."

Then, while restraining his spirituality, he felt the changes in his abilities and himself.

First of all, Audis felt that his strength was very "precise." This feeling was very strange. For example, if Audis wanted to put a medicine jar in a high place before, he would definitely have to use a ladder to put it up.

But now, he felt that he could throw it directly up! And it would be exactly where he wanted it to be.

The reason for this performance is that Audis currently has superb combat skills, which are like innate abilities, imprinted in Audis's mind from birth.

And the "Combat Scholar" potion also reshaped Audis's body, allowing him to use these skills.

Perfectly controlled and without any mistakes!

However, it also requires a certain amount of practice to completely integrate the skills with oneself and accumulate practical experience in order to become a qualified fighter!

Audis had already planned to join a fighting club and practice with the members in the club.

Another change was that many mystical knowledge appeared in Audis's mind. This mystical knowledge allowed him to perform some more advanced ritual magic.

In fact, when he became a "Secrets Sorcerer," the extremely high spirituality could allow him to use rituals or formations to perform some magic and witchcraft.

But at that time, the knowledge was all learned by himself, and explored by himself.

Now it is different. Audis possesses some mystical knowledge after promotion, which allows him to perform magic such as "Healing" through rituals, and can draw "Defense Array" and other arrays by pouring spirituality.

Another huge change is that Audis clearly felt that his thinking was more agile. He realized that the problems that he originally needed three hours to think about, he can now complete in one hour.

Moreover, the ability to learn and understand knowledge is three times that of before.

If the potion is completely digested, it may even reach five times that of Sequence 9!

Audis took a deep breath: After the promotion, it will also help my research.

At this time, he really didn't want to move, so he spent the night in the lounge and laboratory.

…

Backlund, wharf area, in an abandoned Xibailang boat house.

Klein ambushed in front of a weed-covered warehouse, and saw three figures approaching at a very fast speed.

Running in the front was Maric, who was responsible for attracting the enemy here. At this time, his speed was faster than a steam train.

Behind them were their enemies, "Living Corpse" Jason and "Werewolf" Tyr.

Arriving at the central location of the abandoned boat house, Maric suddenly turned around and raised the "Flame Arrow" and fired six consecutive shots at the enemies behind.
