When the super injection began, Clovis didn’t feel anything yet. He couldn’t help but remember the feeling he experienced every time he injected the essence into his body.
At first, there wouldn’t be any other sensation. But when more and more essence was injected, Clovis felt the heat building up in him as though his body was trying to neutralize the unknown object in his body.
Because of his low evolution rate, there was more essence that he needed to absorb, so it made the situation for him trickier.
If they injected too much, they would replace the liquid in Clovis’s body too much, which might harm him or even kill him. That was why they were more careful with Clovis than the others.
Clovis gradually felt the heat in his body as his immune system was neutralizing the essence and tried to assimilate with it.
On the left hand, where the liquid came from, there was no sensation as if it had become extremely numb. However, the real effect came from all five evolution attributes.
The first to react was his heart. The pumping rate increased significantly as though he had been sprinting for several minutes.
After that, his muscles started crying like when he practiced heavily after not doing it for a long time. But the pain wasn’t that unbearable compared to the one coming from his bones.
It was a sharp pain that spread to all his bones as if he were being nailed from all sides.
Clovis gritted his teeth, but he still continued, enduring this pain. After the bones, the blood started convulsing.
Due to the influx of essence coming into the veins, the rate at which blood was flowing became less and less. Clovis’s face gradually turned pale. Still, all these couldn’t be compared to what he felt from the last one, his brain.
At first, his brain felt like there were thousands of ants crawling around it. However, his ears soon started ringing so loudly that it hurt, his eyes were as though they were going to jump out of their sockets, and his noses plugged up, forcing Clovis to gasp for air.
"How is the situation?" The manager asked.
"We have injected a total of one liter of essence into their bodies." The scientist, who was maintaining the injection rate, carefully reported.
"One liter…" The manager glanced at the three, noticing the difference.
Kanaria and Jay were shivering as if their bodies were screaming to stop so that they could digest them first. But Clovis was still calm. He looked like he was in pain, but he still endured it.
"He is the one with the 15% evolution rate, right?" The manager muttered with a solemn expression. "I don’t know how he can even come down here with that evolution rate, but it’s clear that this boy is extraordinary. His endurance is much higher than that of the others. But even with this endurance, the other two can complete it six times faster.
Well, it can also be said that this guy will suffer six times more than them."
The manager looked at the scientist and asked, "What is his body’s capacity?"
"According to the calculation, it’s about 2,600 ml."
"In that case, gradually increase it to 1,500 for now and we’ll see his capability. If he still can endure, we will go to 2,000 ml. However, we won’t go beyond that point."
"Understood." The scientist nodded with a serious expression as he increased the dosage while looking at the injection carefully.
As soon as the dose was increased, Clovis could feel the sudden burst of pain. He didn’t know why, but a few beasts came to his mind. One of them was the dire wolf that he killed previously.
The image was so vivid that he couldn’t help but imagine himself facing the dire wolf once again. However, unlike the previous fight, he somehow couldn’t move his body as if he were just drowning in the bottomless sea.
The dire wolf suddenly opened its mouth and bit his entire shoulder off.
"Kh." Clovis gritted his teeth. His face looked distorted, but it was somehow bearable for the current him.
"Hu… hu…" Clovis’s breath gradually became heavy as he was having a hard time adjusting to the current dosage.
There were several other images of beasts that he didn’t know that ended up trying to kill him. Luckily, this wasn’t enough to crush his spirit.
On the other hand, the manager outside noticed something weird.
Even after reaching the new dosage, Clovis’s reaction seemed to haven’t changed.
"What is this? Are you sure you have injected the correct dosage?" The manager asked. Clovis’s reaction hadn’t changed much.
"Yes, manager. Please take a look at the data. It’s 2,000 ml. However, there is also something weird about him. The absorption rate in his body is actually…" The scientist sucked a cold breath. "The rate is actually four times that of the other two."
"What?" The manager dropped his jaw. "What did you say?"
Without waiting for the scientist, the manager hurriedly checked the data himself. And it was truly shocking.
"What is actually happening?" The manager clenched his fists. "He is this abnormal when he only has a 15% evolution rate… What if this person has the same evolution rate as the other two?"
They simply couldn’t believe it. At the same time, they pitied Clovis. If only the world were fair, Clovis would definitely become an extremely talented individual.
"This kind of fusion rate is unheard of. When one is getting the super injection, they usually get a visual of the beasts that are trying to destroy their bodies. The only way to increase the evolution rate is to defeat those beasts at their own will. However, the procedure makes them feel like they’re sinking into a bottomless sea. It’s impossible to kill them." The scientist sucked a cold breath.
No one had ever heard about this before. How could Clovis kill those beasts when he couldn’t do anything?

"Store the data for later." The manager ordered while looking at Clovis solemnly. This was the agreement between Essence Bank and the government. By agreeing to support this project, they could collect data on how the essence behaved on people’s bodies.
And obviously, Clovis’s case was something they had never seen before.
"Understood. Should we increase the dosage again?" The scientist asked.
The manager felt his hands were itchy as if he wanted to increase the dosage. However, destroying a weird talent like this was something he didn’t want to do.
In the end, he continued with his initial decision. "No. Maintain the current rate. In the end, he still needs a longer time to absorb the essence compared to the other two. So, we still get plenty of data. I believe that the kid will appear again in the future for a Tier 1 super injection.
Only then would we discuss it with him."
"Understood." The scientist nodded in agreement.
The manager looked at Clovis, wondering who the hell he was. The name registered was the same one written on the competition, so he didn’t know about Clovis’s last name.
Meanwhile, Clovis was currently in his immersion.
"Kill! Kill!" Clovis roared while trying to slash these beasts.
At first, he couldn’t move at all, but after getting used to it, he remembered a certain piece of advice from his grandfather. It was related to his image training.
He didn’t know why but the image planted in his mind became much more vivid. For example, he imagined himself moving his right hand, which caused his right hand in this bottomless ocean to move.
"I don’t know what’s going on, but this is the first time I feel this way. Is it because this place is so dark and serene that my imagination becomes more vivid?" Clovis looked down, contemplating. "I’m not sure, but there are three things that my grandfather always urged me to do. The first was image training and the second was to never take any beast soul. I wonder why?"
Even Clovis didn’t understand why he could actually do this. There was even Another World Mall appearing in his thoughts, thinking his Another World Mall had something special other than selling items.
Unfortunately, Clovis couldn’t find the answer no matter how hard he thought and decided to just kill the incoming beasts that appeared in his mind.
As calculated, Jay was the first to come out. He managed to fully absorb two super injections within two hours, which was a normal time for someone with his evolution rate. Kanaria finished half an hour later.
Unbeknownst to them, Clovis was actually doing something amazing. Because the manager didn’t react much after the initial shock, they didn’t realize it.
