Chapter 643: Pleasant Discovery
No one will ever care for her like he did.
Finally, a tear slid from the corner of Catherine's eye.
Then a second one.
And a third.
Though she made no sound,
Catherine was already crying uncontrollably.
"Ha ha, little Nana, I told you that you love me. You said you wouldn't shed a single tear for me if I died, but now you're nearly crying a river," a teasing voice sounded just then.
Catherine's gaze suddenly fell on the man lying on the bed.
The man had opened his eyes and was watching her with a playful look.
He wasn't dead!
How could this be?
Catherine was ecstatic.
But also puzzled.
Su Chen's heartbeat had clearly stopped.
Why had he come back to life?
Could it be a ghost?
Noticing what Catherine was thinking, Su Chen pointed to the plug of the heartbeat monitor and said, "Big sister, it seems your plug fell out."
Catherine quickly turned around and indeed saw that the plug of the heartbeat monitor had fallen out.
"Did you break through?" Catherine asked Su Chen, a look of joy on her face.
"Seems like it?" Su Chen replied uncertainly.
"Hit me with a punch and try?" Catherine said to Su Chen.
"Little Nana, I'm quite strong. What if I hurt you?" Su Chen gestured a couple of times but then withdrew his hands.
"Don't worry, you can't hurt me," Catherine confidently said.
After all, she was in the Extraordinary Realm.
Su Chen had just broken through the limits of Ordinary People and reached the Mortal Realm; there was no way he could injure her.
Su Chen raised his fist again, but still hesitated, "Little Nana, I can't bear to hit you."
"Are you going to hit me or not? If you don't hit me, I'll hit you!" Catherine threatened.
Finally, Su Chen threw a punch at Catherine.
He controlled the force to just one 'niu' (a unit).
His full-strength strike could match that of a Saint.
If he didn't control his strength, he could indeed kill Catherine with one punch.
Catherine easily blocked Su Chen's punch with her palm.
A look of ecstatic joy crossed her face again, "That's right, it's one 'niu' of force, you did it!"
Catherine was as happy as a child receiving her favorite toy.
"But I feel so weak!" Su Chen looked at his fist, a face full of distress.
After all, Catherine had caught his fist effortlessly.
"I'm at the Extraordinary Realm, and you just reached the Mortal Realm; of course, your strength can't compare to mine," Catherine said, seemingly reading Su Chen's thoughts.
"What if I use the Second Rank Shura Potion? Would I match you then?" Su Chen asked.
"In theory… but, are you sure you want to use the Second Rank Shura Potion?" Catherine frowned.
She didn't want to experience another life-and-death separation.
"Of course!" Su Chen asserted confidently.
"Su Chen, listen to me, give up on using the Second Rank Shura Potion. You know that using it doubles the mortality rate," Catherine said seriously.
"Don't worry, little Nana," Su Chen said with a grin.
"Little Nana, do you really not want me to use the Second Rank Shura Potion?" Su Chen suddenly asked seriously.
"You use it if you want, what does it have to do with me?" Catherine retorted, showing a rare tsundere side.
Well, she was always tsundere.
Su Chen was set on using the Second Rank Shura Potion.
The importance of Mortal Realm and Superman Realm in the eyes of 'Father-in-Law' was clearly different.
If he just used the First Rank Shura Potion,
even if 'Father-in-Law' would value him, it would take a lot of time for him to get access to the Heavenly Noble Core.
But if he used the Second Rank Shura Potion, reaching the Extraordinary Realm,
then the time he would need to access the Heavenly Noble Core would be significantly reduced.
Moreover, now there was another, more important reason for Su Chen to use the Second Rank Shura Potion!
Initially, he thought that the Shura Potion would have no effect on him.
But after he used the First Rank Shura Potion,
he found that his maximum heart rate increased by 5 beats!
Although Su Chen's combat power had already reached the Level of Transcendent entering Saint,
his cultivation was still at the Extraordinary Realm Peak, not yet at the Saint Level.
Everyone has their limits.
And the Saint Realm was his bottleneck.
He had been stuck at this stage for a long time.
His heart rate had already reached 400 beats.
The limit for the Saint Realm was 421 beats, just 21 beats away.
But it was these 21 beats that he couldn't break through.
Until today, after using the First Rank Shura Potion,
his maximum heart rate reached 405 beats!
It was only an increase of 5 beats.
This was very exciting for him,
because his maximum heart rate had not increased for a very long time.
And today, it had increased again.
This was all thanks to the effects of the Shura Potion.
Normally, a First Rank Shura Potion would be useless for someone of his level.
But the fact was, it worked!
The First Rank Shura Potion had increased his maximum heart rate by 5 beats; would using the Second Rank increase it again?
If it could increase by another 16 beats, would he be able to enter the Saint Realm directly?
As an Extraordinary Realm Peak, he already had the strength to battle Saint Realm powerhouses.
Once he entered the Saint Realm, his combat power would definitely undergo an earth-shattering transformation.
Before, defeating his brother's wife was arguably lucky.
But if he truly broke through to the Saint Realm, facing her again, he would be 100% confident in winning!
Of course, that's assuming his brother's wife's strength hasn't increased.
Catherine ignored Su Chen, leaving him no choice but to inject himself with the Second Rank Shura Potion.
He was very eager to see whether he would break through to the Saint Realm because of it.
Even if not, even a few more beats per minute would be good.
Seeing that Su Chen finally did inject the Second Rank Shura Potion, Catherine sighed deeply.
Using the Second Rank Shura Potion, even if successful, would significantly shorten Su Chen's lifespan.
Does this man really want to become stronger that badly?
To become stronger, is he really willing to give up his life?
Su Chen's heart rate surged again, this time effortlessly surpassing 220 beats.
