Chapter 41: Success Rate Soars
As soon as the two-day deadline arrived, Philip appeared at the palace on time.
His eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles under them. His black robe was stained with the lingering scent of herbs and alchemical solvents, and he was followed by a team of core pharmacists.
Each core pharmacist carried two boxes, one containing [Mafeisan] and the other containing [Penicillin]!
"Your Majesty, a full one thousand doses of the anesthetic and penicillin have been prepared! Please check and receive them!"
Philip said respectfully.
"You've worked hard, Philip! Go and get some rest!"
Li Ang nodded slightly. Now that the medicines are ready, the organ modification can continue!
As for how much the success rate could be improved, Li Ang was also somewhat looking forward to it.
Currently, the Ash Knights still have over 140 trainee knights waiting to be promoted.
Deep within the palace, in the transformation room, the iron bed and floor, previously covered in blood, had long since been cleaned up by the servants.
Edmund led his 140-odd reserve knights, standing here with their heads held high.
"Let's proceed as before, dividing into teams one by one!"
Li Ang gave the order.
At the same time, Li Ang used his faith points to redeem 20 [Medical Servant] per 90-minute usage rights once again.
Unlike before, before the modification began, according to Li Ang's requirements, the servants fed the prospective knights [Mafeisan] in advance, based on each knight's different strengths, and conducted a "skin test" beforehand. If everything was normal, they would inject the prescribed dose of [Penicillin]!
Each dose of [Mafeisan] is 30g, and [Penicillin] is 300ml, which is exactly the dosage for an intermediate-level fighter.
Philip brought a thousand of each, enough for Li Ang to carry out his organ modification to his heart's content.
With the anesthetic and analgesic effects of [Mafeisan], the knights' cries of agony finally ceased during the organ modification process!
These painful modifications were all carried out while the knights were unconscious, thus directly avoiding the risk of "mental breakdown".
Secondly, this time, Li Ang chose only the flesh of Titans to increase his chances of success.
The core of the modification remains the implantation of Titan muscles.
The alien tendons and flesh, shimmering with a dark gold hue and brimming with immense power, were gripped by a mechanical arm and, under the cold gleam of a scalpel, were attached to the human knight's chest, abdomen, and back.
This time, the process was eerily quiet, with only the hum of the machinery and the faint sound of flesh being stitched together.
During the muscle suturing process, penicillin played a very important role, killing bacteria and reducing inflammation, preventing infection, and directly and greatly increasing the knights' chances of survival.
Most thankfully, none of the trainee riders had allergic reactions after undergoing skin testing.
Penicillin can exert its full therapeutic effect!
The penicillin drug begins to work silently, building an invisible barrier that firmly prevents putrefaction and infection from entering through the wound.
Ultimately, four out of the twenty prospective knights in the first team successfully awakened and completed the [muscle organ modification] process!
The survival rate has increased to one in five!
Li Ang was overjoyed, while Edmund, standing beside him, was also incredibly surprised.
It should be noted that of the previous hundred or so prospective knights, only Micah succeeded; the rest died during the painful transformation process.
"The fallen knights departed peacefully! At least they are free from suffering!"
Edmund glanced at the defeated knights. Although they would never wake up again, they did not show any ferocious or painful expressions due to the effects of the anesthetic.
This made Edmund, the commander of the Knights, feel a little better.
After all, Edmund had personally experienced that excruciating pain.
"Keep modifying it! Let's see what the success rate is today!"
Li Ang was filled with anticipation.
The remaining knights entered the modification room in an orderly manner.
After a whole night of modifications by the [Medical Servant], out of more than 140 prospective knights, 35 knights successfully completed muscle modifications and were promoted to [Legendary Knights]!
Edmund compiled the data in greater detail: "Your Majesty, a total of 143 prospective knights underwent [organ modification] tonight; ultimately, 35 knights succeeded."
"Of the thirty-five knights, 5 were originally intermediate-level fighters! 22 were originally advanced-level fighters! 8 were originally great-level fighters!"
"All the knights tonight, those at the Great Warrior level or above, succeeded without a single failure!"
Li Ang estimated that the success rate that night had soared to nearly a quarter!
This completely confirmed my conjecture: the idea of injecting Edmund's [Primary Serum], with the protection of [Anesthetic] and [Penicillin], combined with the Titan muscle tissue adaptation to the Ash Knights.
The success rate of organ modification has risen from a near-zero success rate to an acceptable level that is worth promoting on a large scale.
Including Micah and Edmund, the Ash Knights now have 37 officially recognized legendary knights!
Titan muscles, commonly used by knights, enhance their strength by 5000 to 10000 pounds.
This power doesn't require any fighting spirit; it can be unleashed at will simply by throwing a punch or raising a leg.
In terms of actual combat power, his muscle strength alone is enough to contend with a well-trained high-level fighter!
Most excitingly, by incorporating Titan muscles and undergoing genetic modification by the supreme race, the knights' potential has been raised to a new level!
Under normal circumstances, the pinnacle of these knights' lives would be a lower-level Grand Warrior, or even just a high-level Warrior.
Now it's different; the future potential of each knight has been directly raised to above the Lower Realm Dou Zun.
Those with exceptional talent may even have the opportunity to reach the Upper Realm Dou Zun, or even the Peak Dou Zun, in the future!
"Your Majesty, the renovations this night were truly delightful!"
"Knights, you have been reborn!"
"Basically, every knight's battle aura cultivation has directly advanced to a minor realm! All five intermediate-level warriors have even leaped to the level of advanced-level warriors! They've achieved a major realm advancement!"
Edmund could not contain his excitement.
Li Ang nodded. From now on, with the help of drugs such as [Mafeisan], [Penicillin], and [Original Serum], intermediate fighters have a chance of successfully undergoing the transformation!
This also lowered the bar and increased the number of candidates for the next selection of trainee knights!
A glance revealed a large amount of unused anesthetic and penicillin medications, as well as many frozen Titan muscle tissues.
"Edmund, immediately expand the selection scope for prospective knights! The First Penitent Legion of the Royal Capital and the Court Knights are both included in the selection. I also grant you the privilege of issuing conscription orders directly in the Royal Capital and surrounding areas."
"Bring your chosen candidates to the palace in one week for a second round of selection!"
Now, the kingdom is beset by internal and external troubles, the crisis of invasion by foreign tribes, and the shadow of the border, with a sword hanging over its head at all times. Li Ang urgently needs to expand the size of the Ash Knights!
