524: Transformation

Chen De walked forward, performed a dissection on the Blue Eagle, but ultimately decided against using it as material.

Next, he continued searching for a new target.

As Chen De ventured deeper, his eyes suddenly lit up upon reaching a certain spot.

What lay before him was an earthy brown bear, sound asleep on the ground.

Seeing it, Chen De began to ponder.

If he used this as material, it should be very suitable.

Action spoke louder than words. To ensure the integrity and freshness of the material, Chen De severed the brown bear's spine and the tendons in its four limbs while it was still sleeping.

This way, even though the body was opened up, the bear would remain alive, and its organs would stay fresh.

He then used his incredibly smooth knife skills to dissect it, carefully organizing all the usable organs.

Chen De took out the bear's left and right arm bones and modified them to be more similar to human bones.

Then, using his right hand, he extracted the entire bone from his own left arm and replaced it with the bear's bone.

The bear's arm bone was much thicker than the one Chen De removed. When installed, his arm looked like skin stretched over bone, as if it might burst at any moment.

Moreover, even after modification, the shape of the installed arm was significantly different from a normal person's arm.

Chen De then leaned down beside the brown bear and bit fiercely into its neck.

Gulp, gulp, gulp... As his throat continuously bobbed, the entire brown bear visibly shriveled up at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the bones in Chen De's left arm were changing at an astonishing rate.

First was the shape; what had only been somewhat similar gradually became indistinguishable from human bone in appearance.

Next was the flesh; the previously skin-and-bone appearance quickly swelled with muscle, giving it a powerful look.

At this point, Chen De stopped his actions, stood up, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

With both arms installed on one person, they looked disproportionate and highly uncoordinated.

He tested the strength of his current left arm, finding it to be roughly five times stronger than before.

Nodding in satisfaction, the left arm was complete; next was the right arm.

Repeating the previous steps, Chen De also replaced his right arm.

Now, either of his two arms looked nearly half as thick as his waist.

The torso would be difficult to replace, but fortunately, he had a solution; otherwise, the burden on his torso during combat would be too great.

The brown bear was now truly emaciated, almost skin and bones, though not as exaggeratedly as Chen De's arm had been moments ago.

Moreover, by deliberately holding back, Chen De had still left it a sliver of life.

After all, there was still an organ left in the brown bear that he hadn't replaced yet.

Hmm... wait, the Supreme Holy Mother could not bear to kill. Taking its two arm bones for the greater good of the world was already shameful enough; how could he possibly harm its life further?

While his conscience was still heavily condemning him, Chen De had already taken out the brown bear's heart.

This heart, when compared to Chen De's body, seemed slightly too large.

But it didn't matter. As he tightly grasped the heart, it visibly began to shrink.

Although the volume continuously decreased, its beat became increasingly powerful.

Thump, thump, thump... Finally, after shrinking to a certain size, it stopped changing.

After quickly sterilizing it, Chen De cut open his own chest.

He forcefully squeezed the new heart into the location of his original heart, adding a second one.

It must be said, this feeling of crowding was very uncomfortable.

Sometimes it pressed against his stomach, making him nearly vomit his previous meal; sometimes it pressed against his lungs, leaving him breathless... Most importantly, there was also the rejection reaction. If it existed between humans, how much worse was it between two different species?

After stitching up the wound on his chest, Chen De immediately sat down cross-legged.

He used the unique method developed by the Holy Mother Sect to readjust the positions of his six major organs and six minor organs.

He then fused the flesh and blood together, allowing them to form a new, unified whole.

This step required a massive consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but fortunately, he was in the wilderness where the spiritual energy was relatively abundant.

A large amount of spiritual energy surged into his body, causing earth-shattering changes to continuously occur.

His torso bones expanded by more than double their original size, and the proportion with his arms was no longer so uncoordinated.

His blood followed the pre-designed flow paths, washing over his body again and again.

At this moment, Chen De felt that the overall vitality of his body had significantly increased.

His height also shot up, reaching a level of over two meters.

The burden on his torso was reduced, but as a consequence, the burden on his two legs increased greatly.

He checked to see if the magic armor had changed after his body modification.

Awaken!

His existing magic armor immediately appeared on Chen De's body: arm guards covering both arms, and a chest guard over his heart.

Besides these, there were no other changes. It seemed the effect on the magic armor was related to the parts Chen De modified.

This was already a great start, and he was very pleased about it.

Furthermore, there was even worse news: the brown bear... had died.

Chen De had never intended to take its life; he had only sought a donation from it.

He never imagined that he would end up killing it.

He, Chen De, was guilty!

Shedding many mournful tears, Chen De quietly departed from the spot.

Out of guilt, he didn't have the face to touch the remains of Brother Bear again, and could only reluctantly leave them there.

He himself hid nearby, preventing any beasts from damaging Brother Bear's remains.

After a while, a snake arrived, but before it could get close, its head was inexplicably blown off.

Just then, Chen De happened to scratch an itch on his head, and due to his momentary inattention, another life was lost in front of him.

When he realized what happened, he was filled with deep regret, but unfortunately, it was still useless.

And so, he waited quietly... Three days and three nights later, a strong man over three meters tall walked out of the forest.

Covered in coiled muscles and with a fierce, fleshy face, it was Chen De, his modification complete.

For his two legs, he chose those of a kangaroo, which had extremely developed musculature.

Chen De's current body now possessed a total of seven kidneys, three hearts, four lungs, five livers, and six... He looked exactly like a small giant, and his head was also a size larger than before.

With his two arms resting on his sides now, the feeling of disproportion was completely gone.

He walked with a powerful stride, and when he swung his arms, his massive palms looked as if they could swat a person away.

Originally, he intended to rely on his intelligence, but now, he looked like a simple-minded brute with overly developed limbs.

Honestly, Chen De's body in its current state could be completely classified as Yellow-tier Peak.

It was hard to say how this translated into the Magic Armor Master system, as he had only seen Bronze-tier Goods.

Oh, it is worth mentioning that when the body modification was complete,

his magic armor successfully covered his entire body, officially making him a Bronze-tier Magic Armor Master.
