The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 103

While mortal martial artists could absorb refined energy into their bodies, they lacked Martial Meridians and therefore could not draw upon the primal energy of the world.

Quintessence Elixir was different—consuming it directly introduced the elixir's refined energy into the system, allowing for absorption.

This made Quintessence Elixir exceptionally valuable for ordinary martial artists, who otherwise had no means of encountering, let alone taking in, such energy.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of hidden force erupted from Janet, marking her breakthrough to Level 7 Hidden Force Grandmaster—yet her advancement did not stop there.

She soon felt her blood and energy churning throughout her body. As the pure, potent energy absorbed from the elixir continuously stimulated stronger waves of hidden force, she erupted once more with an even greater aura. Now, she had reached Level 8 Hidden Force Grandmaster.

"Impressive—two levels in one go. Though to be fair, you were already on the verge of reaching Level 7," Stefan remarked with a light smile.

Janet stood frozen, utterly stunned.

Only after a long pause did she come to her senses, examining the hidden force coursing through her with wide, disbelieving eyes before exclaiming in exhilaration, "Ms. Reed, I... I've reached Level 8!"

Nina's eyes gleamed with fascination.

To her, it felt like witnessing a miracle—Stefan's Quintessence Elixir truly worked wonders.

"You silly girl, thank Stefan properly," Nina reminded with a gentle laugh.

Janet turned to Stefan, her earlier resentment replaced by sincere gratitude. "Stefan, thank you... really, thank you so much."

"Enough thanks." Stefan waved dismissively, crinkling his nose. "Go wash up—you smell."

Only then did Janet notice the dark, foul-smelling impurities coating her skin after the breakthroughs.

Blushing with embarrassment, she shot Stefan an annoyed glare before dashing to the bathroom.

"Stefan, you never cease to amaze me," Nina said, her gaze soft yet intense.

Like many women, she admired strength, and for someone of her stature, only true mastery could capture her heart.
