Tom had a cloth over his mouth, protecting his teeth, his body was badly bruised but slowly healing, Tom was writhing in pain and tears were streaming from his eyes, his body was convulsing and his hands and arms were uncontrollably twisting and contorting, this went on for 30 minutes and finally stopped.
Tom's adrenaline ability had good and bad effects with this potion.
The good side: Tom's adrenaline made his spirit stronger and his foundation more solid.
The bad side: Tom's adrenaline ability strengthened all his senses and as a result he suffered 50% more pain than he would have if someone else used it. On top of doubling the pain per wound, this 50% gave Tom the pain of a safari tour of the lowest levels of hell after every battle.
Of course, in the old world it was said that pain matured people, and it was true in the old world that enough pain strengthened the soul and made it stronger, but that didn't mean that people could apply it as they wished.
A lot of people who tried to harden their souls in this way would at some point break down and go mad.
Tom was in battle right now. After dodging a marine's spear, he decapitated the marine with the combined slash technique and ran to the next marine warrior. His days were filled with battles like this. For the last month he had been fighting non-stop, enduring painful healing to strengthen his foundation, sleeping and fighting again.
Today Jac, the regimental commander, had summoned him and he was on his way to his tent when he walked in and there was a white haired man standing there and it was Jac. Jac looked at Tom and said.
"Long time no see, I've heard of you, you crazy adrenaline beast" Tom nodded his head Jac continued "I understand you like to fight, then I'd like to give you a task, if you accept I can offer you a way to make your foundation more solid?
Tom asked him what this item was before he asked about the mission Jac said.
"It's called a pain pool, one of the rarest resources of the military organization, where the body of the person who enters it is almost recreated, depending on how long they can stay in it".
Of course there are 2 disadvantages
1. can only be entered once, the second time will be useless.
2. It's an extremely horrible pain. The record so far is 2 minutes.
The person who can stand for 2 minutes is now an S-level being, one of the pillars of our Alliance, and this happened 5000 years ago.
This world has been in a state of apocalypse for about 6,000 years and as far as he understands, no one in this world has ever been able to exceed the S level.
Tom asked about the mission and Jac answered.
The Cestle front has been in danger lately, it's too dangerous for soldiers to go there, the mortality rate is 95% and I want you to defend it 8 hours a day for 10 days.
Normally I wouldn't need to offer such a deal to a mercenary no matter how skilled he is, but right now all the powerful beings have gone to defend that part because a level A monster has appeared in the southern part of the country.
This front currently has assets equal to the highest C-level mercenary and they are busy defending other fronts, so there are no C-level soldiers left to go to the Cestle front.
Only your fighting ability and stamina can fill the gap Tom nodded his head he had to accept this mission this lake of pain was very tempting.
Jac smiled and said, "Then get ready to go to the front tomorrow and stay there for 10 days because the journey there and back is long and dangerous and it would be very inefficient to travel back and forth every day."
Tom went home and decided to look at his statistics.

After Tom's Iron Body Technique, all of his stats increased by an average of 8 points. The strengthening of his spirit and foundation after suffering every night greatly accelerated the progress of the Iron Body Technique and his perception increased by 10 points as a result of the strengthening of his spirit.
Tom noticed that his attractiveness had increased by 2 points, he thought it was because he was getting in better shape day by day and his face was brighter and more flawless thanks to the iron body technique.
Tom first used his contribution points to buy 20 basic potions, he was going to stay for 10 days and he only needed 10, so why did he buy 20?
In Tom's mind it was probably a plan that any being in the galaxy and the universe would shout and swear at him and say that he was a madman looking for an eccentric way to commit suicide, but Tom had already decided to do it.
With all his contribution points Tom bought another potion that was far down the list but was extremely expensive and only he knew what it was.
He had everything he needed, he went home and took off the 800kg armor he was wearing, Tom had increased the weight over time and was now wearing 800kg of armor when he fought.
After relaxing his body, he used the Foundation potion and went to sleep after a 30-minute round of pain.
