Chapter 38
The Windshade Mark IV combat suit was black in color and displayed fine workmanship. It boasted a sleek streamlined design and the light that shone on the combat suit would all be directly absorbed, without even reflecting the slightest bit of light.

The suit was unusually tight, making it so that the inconspicuous muscle contours on Xia Fei’s body were outlined clearly, giving him the sensation of breathlessness when he wore it.
“It seems a little too tight,” Xia Fei said as he checked himself out in the mirror.
Phantom chuckled, “It is supposed to be tight. That allows it to keep your muscles tensed, avoiding any unnecessary resistance due to the trembling of your muscles when facing air resistance. You’ll be fine once you get used to it. The Windshade Mark IV is only a Star River rank combat suit, if it were an actual Legendary ranked combat suit, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to walk in it.”

“Not to such a degree, right?” Xia Fei tried to move his body. Although he felt uncomfortable, his movements were much faster than before. It was just that Xia Fei had not completely familiarized himself with it, so his actions looked to be a bit mechanical.
“Do you know why I insisted that you must buy this Windshade Mark IV?” Phantom had been intentionally keeping mum all this time.
“I don’t know.” Xia Fei admitted.
Xia Fei only had 3 million star coins left in his bank account now, practically on the verge of bankruptcy.

“There’s only one of Aquamarine Illusory Star and Silver Nocturna Blossom each, so you must not make a single mistake,” Phantom was standing in a corner, reminding Xia Fei.
“Yeah!” Xia Fei nodded his head gravely, revealing a very solemn expression on his face.
The day after tomorrow would be the day of the assessment. It was critically important for him to raise his rank to Intermediate Star Base before the assessment.
Xia Fei’s strength was considered very weak among all the candidates right now. Even if he were to reach Intermediate Star Base rank, he would still be ranked in the lower echelons of the tens of thousands of candidates.
Fortunately, Xia Fei had not skimped on buying the best combat equipment that he could presently use. With all the equipment, Xia Fei’s strength should at least be just above the middle echelon.
Carefully purifying the Aquamarine Illusory Star and Silver Nocturna Blossom separately before finding the other medical ingredients that complemented with its other six flavors, Xia Fei then proceeded to measure out the necessary amounts separately into the concoction device.
After about 20 minutes, the table had eight more medicinal bottles of different colors. Xia Fei had added these eight portions into the mixing device as per the requirement, obtaining a single white bottle of compound medication.
Xia Fei took the bottle of compound medication and closely examined it under a light as he gently shook it a few times.
The white liquid looked similar to fresh cow’s milk, a thick and pure whiteness that did not have any impurities.

Giving it a whiff, Xia Fei could smell a faint scent of spiciness, as if it were old spirits that still withheld a faint air of refreshingness.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his neck and poured it down his throat and into his stomach.
“It tasted awful!” Xia Fei wrinkled his brow and frowned.
