One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 443: Chapter 367 Tong Shan Great Saint, Active Metal Armed_2

Huang Xuzi added fuel to the fire, saying, “If we really can’t do anything, we might as well go and see. If the Demon Dragon easily survives the Heavenly Tribulation, we should leave early. But if its strength isn’t as formidable as we imagined… hehe!”

A fierce look appeared on Huang Xuzi’s face. He clenched his fist tightly and sneered, “Then it means he is not fated to enjoy those opportunities, and we should join forces with Tong Shan Great Saint and make a decisive move!”

"What do you think about this, Sister Nangong?”

Nangong Yue took a deep breath, her full chest heaving up and down. She furrowed her brows, nodded, and said, “Alright!”

…

…

…

Meanwhile, at the Demon Suppression Tower in Baihua County.

"With my wisdom that reaches the heavens, with my relentless efforts, attribute panel, give me more points!” As Su Heng roared, a massive amount of Attribute Points surged into the ‘Metal Manipulation’ talent he had acquired not long ago.

On the tray in front of him lay the white metal sphere he had obtained from Simmons.

After more than a hundred thousand Attribute Points were consumed, the ‘Metal Manipulation’ talent was enhanced to Breakthrough Three Layers.

Finally…

As if there was some mystical connection, a peculiar reaction came forth.

Dead Iron possessed the characteristic of isolating a Martial Artist’s Power and spiritual power, while the silver-white metal before Su Heng, according to the records passed down by the Demon Descendants, was known as ‘Active Metal.’

Active Metal is made by extracting the essence of a large amount of Dead Iron and refining it; it is an extremely precious resource among Demon Descendants.

Active Metal inherits the characteristics of Dead Iron.

However, the difference is that with the enhancement of Spiritual Power.

The “shielding” property within Active Metal would reverse. Not only would it no longer isolate spiritual power, but it would also amplify and enhance it.

But to achieve this effect is not easy, on one hand, it requires the ‘Metal Manipulation’ talent to be cultivated to a highly profound level, and on the other hand, it demands an extremely strict requirement of spiritual power.

Su Heng’s spiritual power cultivation has always been his shortcoming, but this is only in comparison to his own physique. In fact, compared to the average Earth Immortal Martial Artist, under the nourishment of his physical body, Su Heng’s spiritual power is already quite formidable, and now he has easily crossed the basic threshold for manipulating ‘Active Metal.’

Before Su Heng’s talent reached the third-layer breakpoint, this cluster of Active Metal in his perception was a deep, dark black hole.

But as the talent transformed, the same perception revealed that the Active Metal was emanating light, like a bright, shining little sun.

Whoosh!

With a slight thought from Su Heng.

The Active Metal sphere suddenly transformed into a handful of liquid and flew towards Su Heng like a waterfall.

Su Heng released the suppression on his own mutation and recovered part of his original form, his body enlarged, iron-black Scale Armor snapped into place, covering the heavy overlapping muscles. Ｒ₳ƝŐʙËş

The Active Metal liquid covered the surface of the Scale Armor, turning into numerous tiny silver-white threads that spread out in all directions and quickly vanished from sight, invisible to the naked eye.

This was not due to any special reason, but purely because in comparison to Su Heng’s massive body,

Such a fist-sized cluster of Active Metal was indeed too small; when dispersed across his entire body, it was barely noticeable.

But the defensive power enhancement it brought was not to be underestimated.

Sizzle!

Su Heng pointed with his hand.

A golden high-energy beam burst out, hitting his other arm.

Normally, Su Heng’s physical body would not be able to defend against an attack from the Golden Crow Heart, and it would be pierced through immediately.

But now, at the point of impact of the high-energy beam, a series of translucent ripples spread outward, completely absorbing and withstanding the contained force.

"Not bad!” Su Heng’s face showed a satisfied smile.

Because after the Active Metal was activated, it had the effect of strengthening spiritual power. It could be used to enhance the power of Divine Skills or techniques, both offensively and defensively.

The only downside was that Su Heng currently had too little Active Metal in his hands to fully address both offense and defense.

However, this problem was also easily solvable.

The wreck of the Moon Shadow Level Ark Battleship was still placed inside the Flesh Furnace.

As long as he found a way to smelt the Dead Iron from its armor shell, Su Heng should be able to extract a large amount of Active Metal and further enhance its power.

"Besides the Active Metal armor, Metal Manipulation itself is also a quite formidable talent,” Su Heng thought.

Ordinary Divine weapons were of no use to him now, instead, they could be utilized by him.

Furthermore, among Body Refining Martial Artists, there were some ruthless individuals who enhanced their physiques by devouring metal. Should these people encounter Su Heng, they would be in for some serious bad luck.

With just a thought, Su Heng could make them kneel, unable to rise.

The scene of Magnetic King battling Wolverine popped into Su Heng’s mind.

He couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He felt that if such a scene happened to him, it would probably be quite interesting.

After some research, Su Heng was very satisfied with the talents he obtained from the Demon Bloodline, with an already formidable defensive power getting a rather obvious boost. It was not in vain that he had spent so much time and effort on this matter over the past days.

Su Heng shook his head, and a series of crackling sounds immediately came from his shoulders.

After slightly restoring some of his original form, the previously spacious room now seemed a bit cramped.

Su Heng took a step forward, retracted the mutations on his body, and then reached out to push open the door. Bright sunlight poured in, distant green mountains were hazy, and the sound of rivers and tides were faintly audible. Looking at the vast sky outside, and the eagle soaring past, Su Heng’s mood also became more relaxed and cheerful.

He left the Demon Suppression Tower and came to a secluded and eerie monastery in Baihua County.

Last night there was a spring rain, and in the cracked bricks and stones of the monastery, there were shallow puddles reflecting the clear sky and the swaying wind chimes.

Under the rustic green-tiled eaves, amidst the crisp sound of the wind chimes,

Li Hongxiu was wearing a plain dress, holding a scripture in her hands. A fluffy little fox lay on her shoulder, its tail wrapped around her neck and gently resting on the other shoulder.

From a distance, it looked as if she was wearing a uniquely styled pink and white shawl.

Sensing the arrival of Su Heng, the fox’s pointed ears suddenly stood up. She covered her nose with her paws and sneezed. Then her body transformed into a flash of fiery red light, diving into Li Hongxiu’s body, and vanished from sight.

Li Hongxiu put down the scripture in her hand, slightly bent her knees towards Su Heng, and said, “Master, Your Highness is waiting for you in the side hall.”

Su Heng nodded, “Lead the way.”

Ming Daoist gave Su Heng the first impression of being aloof, with the air of a hermit-like figure.

However, after longer contact, Su Heng also slowly discovered that this legendary figure also had a sense of humor.

For instance, when Ming Daoist met Su Heng daily, he always used “Jialan Gunna” as his alias, seemingly enjoying the speechless expression on Su Heng’s face.

But since this time it was a serious matter, Ming Daoist did not continue to joke with Su Heng on these insignificant details. The one who appeared in the side hall was Ming Daoist’s original body, the traditionally graceful and white-robed Princess.

Li Hongxiu poured a cup of tea for each of them and then respectfully withdrew.

A wisp of tea fragrance lingered, the steam from the tea was hazy.

Ming Daoist had a pale complexion and deep eyes, calmly stating, “The malevolent energy of the calamity intensifies, the Heavenly Tribulation is imminent, and it should arrive in the upcoming few days.”

"No wonder I rarely see you in the city these days.” Su Heng guessed that Ming Daoist was retracting the spiritual power from his avatars back to his original body to fully prepare for the impending tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation was formidable, capable of making many Great Cultivators lose their courage.

However, after Su Heng merged with the Dragon Corpse, he was quite confident, and now with the Active Metal reinforcing the defense, it was even more a sure thing. Su Heng sipped his tea confidently, “I never go back on my word with another’s promise, you can rest assured.”

Ming Daoist raised her cup of tea to Su Heng and drank it all in one gulp.

She seriously said, “Although I have been gone for over a thousand years, there will always be some clues left behind. Now that I have been active outside for some time, perhaps some people will notice and harbor ill intentions.”

"They’re nothing but a rabble!” Su Heng scoffed.

A trace of wistfulness appeared on Ming Daoist’s ice-pale and delicate face, seemingly reminiscing about certain past events.

She sighed softly and said, “One must not be without the heart to guard against others.”

Saying so, Ming Daoist gently took out a palm-sized, glazed bead from her bosom and handed it to Su Heng.
