200: Chapter 204

The fragment of Xiao Yunfei's [As-You-Wish Iron Rod] had fallen into his hands.

Su Yuan was simply ecstatic, but with matters being complicated at the moment, he didn't have time to perform the Fusion of the weapons.

He carefully put away the black iron rod, transferring it into his own storage space.

Then, he continued to rummage through Xiao Yunfei's spatial ring.

"Huh, what is this?"

As his gaze swept over some ordinary valuables, his attention was drawn to a metal box placed in the very corner, sealed extremely tightly.

The box was not large, felt cold to the touch, and had no decorations on its surface, yet it exuded an aura of gloom and depth.

Su Yuan's curiosity grew even stronger, and he carefully took out the box.

After inspecting it thoroughly and confirming there were no traps or mechanisms, Su Yuan took a deep breath and slowly opened the lid.

The inside of the box was lined with soft silk, and resting quietly upon the silk was a book of peculiar material and ancient color... or rather, it looked more like a parchment Secret Manual!

On the cover of the Secret Manual, there were only a few large characters that were blurry and difficult to distinguish, yet faintly exuded an abstruse meaning.

Su Yuan carefully identified them, and finally recognized the four characters on the cover—Devouring Heaven Magic Skill!

"What an eerie name, what kind of Cultivation Technique is this!"

"A Demonic Technique... could it be some kind of Demonic Path Cultivation Technique?"

Su Yuan flipped through it casually, only to find the content extremely profound; he couldn't make heads or tails of it for the moment, so he carefully put the Cultivation Technique away into his space!

"Xiao Yunfei places such importance on this Cultivation Technique, with both a fine box and silk lining; this Cultivation Technique must be extraordinary."

"Perhaps this is the reason Xiao Yunfei is able to devour the Physique of others!"

Thinking of this, the more Su Yuan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Could it be... could it be that the reason Xiao Yunfei was able to steal Older Sister's 'Supreme Sword Body', and possibly the special Physiques of others, is rooted in this Devouring Heaven Magic Skill?!"

Once this guess appeared, it spread wildly in his heart like weeds!

"If that's really the case..."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.

"Perhaps I can find a way to break his methods from this Cultivation Technique, allowing Older Sister to no longer be troubled by him!"

Su Yuan couldn't wait to go home immediately and study this Demonic Technique carefully.

He sharply scanned the chaotic battlefield once more, using his Mental Energy to perceive carefully, confirming that there were no other valuable items remaining.

"This place is not suitable for a long stay."

Private fighting is strictly prohibited in the city.

Although the efficiency of the law enforcement team is worrying, causing such a big commotion would surely attract people to investigate soon.

He didn't want to cause extra trouble; dealing with official personnel and explaining the cause and effect would be too much of a hassle.

Taking one last look at the place where the fragments of Xiao Yunfei's clothes were scattered, a trace of regret flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.

"You were lucky this time, next time..."

Thinking this, his figure flickered, blending into the night like a ghost, and with a few leaps, he disappeared into the depths of the intricate alleys.

Returning home safely, Su Yuan couldn't wait to count his spoils of war.

He first placed the metal box containing the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill solemnly to the side.

Although he knew that this Cultivation Technique might involve huge implications, and even relate to the secret of Xiao Yunfei stealing Physiques, this item exuded an evil nature and required a calm mind and full preparation before being studied; he couldn't rush it.

At this moment, he was more concerned with another harvest that could immediately improve his strength—the [As-You-Wish Iron Rod] fragment found in Xiao Yunfei's ring!

Su Yuan took out his own As-You-Wish Iron Rod; the pitch-black rod body exuded a steady aura.

This weapon had been with him through many battles and had already undergone Fusion with many fragments, and the Traits it contained were quite considerable:

[Item Name]: damaged ruyi iron rod

[Attached Traits]: [Shape-Shifting], [Effortless Lifting], [Automatic Master Protection], [Thousand Jun Weight], [Divine Weapon with Spirit], [Thousand Jun Weight], [Extendable and Shortenable], [Head-On Critical Strike]

The newly obtained fragment was also pitch-black, yet it faintly flowed with a dull luster different from his own.

Su Yuan held it in his hand and poured in his spiritual power, immediately sensing the information of the three Traits contained within:

1: [Trait Name]: Size Alteration [Trait Rank]: green [Trait Effect]: Can change size at will.

2: [Trait Name]: Indestructible [Trait Rank]: red [Trait Effect]: The texture is extremely solid; nothing can compare to its hardness.

3: [Trait Name]: Weakness Strike [Trait Rank]: blue [Trait Effect]: Easier to strike the opponent's weak points, exerting a stronger effect.

"Three Traits!"

"This Xiao Yunfei really had obtained another As-You-Wish Iron Rod and had performed Fusion between the two; he also knew that As-You-Wish Iron Rods could be fused with each other!"

"Good!"

Looking at these three Traits, a look of joy flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.

"[Size Alteration] goes without saying, and these [Indestructible] and [Weakness Strike] are also extremely practical Traits!"

He no longer hesitated and placed the two As-You-Wish Iron Rods, which originated from the same source, side by side.

A faint halo appeared on the pitch-black rod bodies, rippling like water waves.

Su Yuan released his control over the weapons and used his own spiritual power as a guide to trigger the Fusion process.

He saw the two weapons turn into a flowing liquid of black metal, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, actively merging into the main iron rod.

At the moment of contact, the light flared slightly, and the form of the main iron rod fluctuated slightly, as if it were absorbing and digesting this power of the same source.

The process was not violent, but rather had a natural feeling of things falling into place.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the light gradually receded, and the changes subsided.

The appearance of the As-You-Wish Iron Rod did not seem to have changed much, but looking closely, the rod body seemed deeper and darker, and the faintly flowing luster had also become much more restrained.

Holding it in his hand, a feeling of Bloodline connection and being one whole was even stronger.

"Haha!"

"Now my weapon already has twelve Traits!"

Because the two weapons had undergone Fusion, it added a new Trait to the As-You-Wish Iron Rod!

[Trait Name]: Lightning Enchantment [Trait Rank]: red [Trait Effect]: The body is wrapped in lightning effects, which will cause the opponent to suffer from paralysis, burns, and other effects.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!"

All Traits were perfectly inherited and fused!

"Let's test the effect!"

Su Yuan's mind stirred slightly as he tried to activate the newly acquired [Size Alteration] Trait.

He saw the iron rod in his hand, following his will, slowly become thicker and longer.

In the blink of an eye, it went from the size of a brow-high staff to a giant pillar that required two people to embrace and was several zhang long!

He shifted his will again, and the giant pillar quickly shrank, finally turning into a black needle as thin as a hair and an inch long, floating at his fingertips!

"Haha! It's done!"
