Chapter 265: Chapter 57: The Aftermath Continues, A
Slight Stir Arises 1
The endless torment lasted a full three hours.
After that scream, unless she really couldn’t bear it and needed to distract herself, Jasmine wouldn’t easily open her mouth.
Even so, by the end of the “Bone Gnawing,” Jasmine’s throat was already hoarse from screaming.
Any movement of her throat caused pain as sharp as a knife cut.
Inhuman torment could not be endured in silence easily.
For maximum effect, the Serene Wizard did not cast healing magic on Jasmine.
Instead, she prepared a cup of ordinary herbal juice mixture with a slow healing effect on vocal cord damage, and she fed it to Jasmine in a special way while she was immersed in the liquid.
The ‘Bone Gnawing” ended, but the experiment continued.
The Serene Wizard manipulated the equipment, lifted the naked Jasmine from the experimental table, cleaned her with witchcraft skills, and put her into another pool.
A specially concocted potion was then poured into the pool, completely submerging Jasmine’s body.
Only after soaking for 24 hours, did the experiment come to an end.
Compared to the torment of the Chatterbone Worm gnawing through her marrow, the growth stimulation was less painful, but the induced itchiness was still unbearable.
No matter how tightly Jasmine clenched her teeth, she could not suppress her instinct to roll around.
Luckily, the potion didn’t exceed her body by much.
As long as Jasmine bore it and didn’t sit up or raise her legs, thereby leaving the potion, it didn’t matter if she kept rolling back and forth.
The difficult 24 hours passed.
Jasmine didn’t even know how she had made it through.
The Serene Wizard once again appeared in the laboratory converted from a basement.
She performed a thorough examination on Jasmine and obtained all the parameters.
She then lifted Jasmine out.
With a flick of her mind, she used her magic skills to clean Jasmine, left a set of clothes, and sashayed out.
She left her alone in the room to recover.
Jasmine sat on a chair next to the potion pool for a long time before she felt she could regain control of her body.
She put on her clothes, looked back at the experimental table and potion pool that had tormented her for a long time, her eyes dim.
She hoped that she would hear good news later.
Otherwise, she would have to endure such torment again, perhaps several times.
Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
Immediately, Jasmine’s eyes hardened and she cut off the fear that was rising in her heart.
No matter how uncomfortable, she had to persist!
She strode out of the basement and entered the lobby on the first floor of the villa.
“Sit, eat something, rest a little”.
The Serene Wizard sat in a soft and comfortable armchair and gestured to a chair opposite her.
“Thank you, Serene Wizard.”
Jasmine’s voice was hoarse and she forced herself to speak, then followed the instructions and sat down.
Smelling the faint medicinal scent of the hot drink, Jasmine knew it was the treatment the Serene Wizard had given her.
Without hesitation, she took small sips and drank more than half a cup in one go-
The warm liquid flowed down her throat and instantly took effect, even before it hit her stomach.
The damage to her vocal cords, which caused her voice to be hoarse, was healed.
The pain was gone and her voice was also back to normal.
Putting down the hot drink cup, Jasmine picked up a delicate pastry and took a few bites.
The pastry was also medicinal.
Once it was swallowed, a heat wave surged from her stomach to the rest of her body.
This gave her exhausted body nourishment.
The fatigue instantly disappeared.
What remained was mental exhaustion.
This could only be alleviated by sleep and some gentle medicines.
For instance, an aromatherapy essential oil from the Glasswort series.
Of course, there were other medicines with better effects that could instantly perk one up.
It’s just that they were not suitable for Jasmine’s current situation.
“How do you feel?”
The Serene Wizard asked when she saw Jasmine’s state had improved somewhat.
“Very painful, but I can bear it.”
Jasmine shared her real experiences and thoughts, “As long as there are
results, every sacrifice is worth it.”
After she finished speaking, Jasmine anxiously waited for the Serene Wizard’s “verdict”.
The Serene Wizard didn’t keep Jasmine in suspense and directly announced the results of her previous examination:
“The experiment was more effective than we expected, and there were some surprising outcomes.
Your Wood Element Affinity is still in the ‘high’ category but is infinitely close to ‘super’; both the Water System and Earth System Affinity have increased to ‘high’.
Perhaps due to enduring pain and torture, your will has been tempered, leading to a significant increase in spiritual power, which is currently 56 points.
The cohesion of the spiritual power has also improved to a certain extent.
Overall, the experiment was quite successful.”
Listening to the Serene Wizard’s words, Jasmine’s face broke into a brilliant smile.
The sacrifice was finally worth it!
Her qualifications had greatly improved.
If she works hard, she may meet the standards to become an official wizard within two years.
That’s not too far behind.
Yes!
“Go back and get a good rest, if anything happens, contact me directly,” suggested the Serene Wizard, gesturing for Jasmine to leave.
She had to get busy, organizing the data, analyzing it, optimizing the experimental plan – she had a lot of things to do.
“Thank you, Serene Wizard.”
Jasmine thanked her, drained the remaining hot drink, and then walked out of the lobby and got into the floating car that the Serene Wizard had arranged specifically for her, returning to the academy.
The floating car was incredibly fast.
It didn’t take long to reach the destination.
Jasmine went back to her dormitory and went straight to sleep.
This was an experience she had learned from Link.
After intense fatigue or after being on edge for a long time, a good sleep worked wonders.
The following few days were calm, both inside and outside the secret realm.
Jasmine seemed unaffected, as she managed the “do whatever you like” as usual.
