523: Demon Armor

The last shred of hope was extinguished.

Although Chen De had already thoroughly examined the beggar's body, he was still unwilling to give up that sliver of possibility.

What if?

What if there was some point he hadn't checked?

For instance, the point regarding the talent for cultivating magic armor—perhaps he hadn't checked that.

But the fact was, he indeed hadn't checked that point.

After Chen De successfully awakened his magic armor using Yuan Yi's method.

He discovered that this body's talent for magic armor was truly unexpected.

Unexpectedly poor!

A middle finger sleeve; yes, Chen De had only awakened a sleeve for his right middle finger.

With talent like that, wanting to cultivate—he should just go find a place to wash up and go to sleep.

Even that guy Yuan Yi had awakened an area the size of a hand back in the day.

And since Yuan Yi was still only a Bronze rank after cultivating for so many years, his talent was evident.

Now that Chen De had awakened even less than him, with normal cultivation, he shouldn't even dream of breaking through to Bronze in this lifetime.

But after some thought, Chen De still decided to cultivate the Magic Armor Master System.

However, he wouldn't cultivate only this path; he would cultivate it alongside the system he had created himself.

Once things here were done, Chen De gathered some things that looked useful and left the Qi residence.

As for Yuan Yi, he had been begging Chen De to finish him off.

Chen De did not kill, but he couldn't withstand the other party's desperate begging, so he agreed.

At this moment, he should not have gone cold yet.

When he left, he happened to run into Qi Gui's father, who was rushing back.

As soon as Qi Fu saw the big man appearing in his own home, he immediately understood that his son must have brought him back.

Because if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the guts to do it.

But was his home a place that any old bumpkin could just waltz into?

Looking at the big man's plain attire, he might have a few coins to his name outside.

But where was this?

The Qi residence!

A place protected by a Magic Armor Master; in the entire city, who wouldn't have to bow their head upon seeing it, besides the City Lord?

Even the City Lord had to speak respectfully when meeting Lord Yuan Yi.

And looking at the saber at his waist—good heavens, that was their Qi family's heirloom; how did it end up on this big man?

Needless to say, being able to bring such a character inside clearly meant his own son had been deceived.

But he could fool the son, not the father.

It was also time to let his son know what kind of people he should be friends with; for someone like this, even speaking to him was a reward.

Qi Fu coldly shouted, "You..."

But before he could finish his sentence, it stopped abruptly, as if stuck in his throat.

The next moment, a red line appeared on his neck, and his head dropped off smoothly from above.

Including the group of guards following beside Qi Fu, their heads also dropped neatly to the ground along with his.

For a moment, over a dozen pillars of blood shot into the sky, finally spraying onto the ground.

And from beginning to end, Chen De didn't even glance at them, walking past them indifferently.

The saber at his waist also looked as if it had never been drawn; it was the same as it had been before.

Chen De's hand also seemed as if it had never touched the hilt.

...

This Small World was not a place where he could Influence at will.

Besides, even if he Influenced everyone, whether it could provide an Attribute Point or not was troublesome.

Although the voice of the Supreme Holy Mother in his heart told him that some things must be done even if they were a loss.

Those holy mothers like them never did things for mere benefits; they were definitely not the type to forget righteousness for profit.

But for the sake of the greater cause that followed, Chen De had to consider the big picture and act with a low profile.

Thus, he came to the outskirts of the city to look for a way to improve this body's talent.

Chen De already had an idea; if he wasn't born with it, he could only modify it later.

There were three methods for postnatal modification: one was cultivating techniques to improve aptitude, but the progress was slow and the consumption cycle long, so he decisively passed on it.

The second method was using heaven-sent treasures that could improve aptitude, but they were too rare; normal people would use them immediately upon finding them, and he didn't want to gamble on luck, so he passed on that too.

So, the only thing left before him was the third method: artificial body modification.

Based on Chen De's research on the human body, he had already found the point that affected the talent for Magic Armor Master cultivation.

After all, once awakened, it was as conspicuous as a lantern in the darkness in Chen De's eyes.

According to the conclusion he had reached so far, one could achieve the effect of improving aptitude by transplanting and replacing certain organs from beasts or humans with good talent.

Of course, this was not just a simple transplant; it also required special techniques and fusion methods.

Only by making them truly fuse into one could the effect of improving aptitude be achieved.

Otherwise, just the hurdle of rejection would be hard to pass, as, after all, human and animal organs were still very difficult to match.

Even if forcibly installed and the rejection solved, it would be impossible to fuse them perfectly together.

To his own body, they would ultimately just be foreign objects, and over time, they might even become a burden.

But with Chen De's special techniques, these problems could be perfectly solved.

In the future, he would write all his medical knowledge into a book, with the full title: "Supreme Holy Mother's Great Mercy and Compassion, Saving Lives and Healing the Wounded, Saving All Living Beings, Practicing Medicine to Save the World, Benevolent Heart and Benevolent Art... Complete Medical Treatise".

Chen De believed that the book he compiled would definitely be able to help many, many people in the future.

After all, his original intention was to make the world a better place.

Back to the main topic.

As for the target of Chen De's trip, he hadn't chosen one yet; he would try to find something with higher growth potential.

After walking for a while, he accidentally stepped on a very large earthworm, as big as a snake.

With just one step, he crushed the earthworm into two halves.

The two halves of the earthworm were wriggling there, but they didn't die for a long time.

Although an earthworm wouldn't necessarily become two after being broken, based on Chen De's knowledge.

They should not die, but rather become two earthworms.

After thinking for a moment, Chen De decided to exclude the earthworm from his options.

For creatures like earthworms, the main factor for their tenacious vitality was their simple structure.

Most importantly, Chen De couldn't find anything transplantable on it.

So he walked straight past it and continued searching for his next target.

As Chen De went deeper, he suddenly heard a bird's cry.

He looked up and saw that it was an eagle with a blue body, of an unknown breed, hunting for prey in the sky.

A piece of wood soared into the air, hitting the blue eagle, which was soaring in the sky, with precision.

Just as the blue eagle was about to catch its prey, it suddenly let out a mournful cry and plummeted toward the ground.

Just as it was about to hit the ground, another piece of wood flew out, striking the blue eagle again.

Along with the blue eagle's body, it was firmly nailed to the trunk of a large tree behind it.

The blue eagle naturally struggled desperately against this, flapping, flapping, flapping...

But the position and angle where the wood hit were too good, and it was too tight, making its struggle completely futile.
