Chapter 615: Chapter 405: Xuan Turtle Ancestral Tree_2
This assault was even more violent than the first, with Fan Wendao’s entire body tensed with bulging veins, his black flesh nearly covering half of his body and constantly writhing to form Black Armor, his eyes turning redder and redder.
The second Fusion lasted a full twenty minutes, the eroding pain causing Fan Wendao to constantly hammer the metallic ground, making a loud thumping sound.
In the third Angel Envoy sacrifice battle, Fan Wendao and his third Angel Envoy, the Heavy Armor Shark Monster, fought for a full half-hour, trading wound for wound, fighting with a severed arm, by the time he killed the Heavy Armor Shark Monster, his life was already depleted by six or seven parts out of ten.
Some people wanted to interrupt the sacrifice, but Su Han held them back, because from the third sacrifice onwards, the Power of Rules had already started to fuse into Fan Wendao’s body strand by strand.
Compared to the first two times where he only got the power after winning, this time, the transformation started right from the beginning.
Fan Wendao won, and the colossal Heavy Armor Shark Monster turned into a black liquid that completely enveloped him; red light covered Fan Wendao’s body as the Power of Rules and Spiritual Energy converged here.
A faint sound came from the black flesh cocoon, a grating noise, like the sound of flesh and bones rubbing against each other.
Boom
After a long wait, a dull sound came, and a huge pitch-black arm broke free from the cocoon and stretched out.
Everyone looked over, the arm was thicker than a normal human arm, about twice as long, covered in Black Armor, with flesh writhing within.
The flesh cocoon burst open continually, power was absorbed incessantly, and when Fan Wendao’s figure was finally revealed, he was clad head to toe in Black Armor, with a single eye on his chest wriggling non-stop, emitting the power of Fourth Rank Lower Class.
Fan Wendao accomplished his breakthrough and became the Cyclops Knight.
“Wendao.”
Shen Wenxing called out Fan Wendao’s name.
Fan Wendao showed no reaction and only slowly turned around after a long time. Then, the face armor gradually moved aside revealing his face: “Academician, I… I succeeded, it’s just that this power… is a bit too strong.”
Fan Wendao reverted from his Cyclops Knight state, and his own strength also reached Fourth Order Inferior. Bai Qilan and others took him away for research.
Su Han was nearby. Fan Wendao gradually returned to normal and reported his situation to Su Han.
“The power is very strong, but the eroding process continuously remolded my will, and I almost didn’t hold on. I feel that if I had failed, I might have become some kind of puppet with a vastly different personality. Even now, I feel the erosion is always there, a bit… like a smoking addiction, though not as severe as becoming a puppet.”
The more you use the power, the more entangled with it you become, and that’s the price you must pay.
“Can you resist it?”
Su Han looked at Fan Wendao and said, “Yes, I believe that if the will is strong, it can be resisted, at least if there’s a day of irreversible change, I’ll die on the battlefield.”
On Fan Wendao’s dark face, a line of neatly aligned, slightly yellow teeth was revealed as he said, “It’s just that it’s somewhat dangerous; from now on, I cannot form contracts with Angel Envoys. To advance, I need to fight monsters and perform sacrifices, which are necessary prices to pay.”
Under the Cyclops Knight state, his personal Skills Advancement would speed up quite a bit, coupled with the use of strengthening potions, which would further accelerate the process.
But Skill Advancement is a threshold; one must offer a life-and-death battle, a massive amount of flesh as a sacrifice, and then he and the equal-level monster would consume the flesh and fight to the death.
