248: Chapter 248 looks like a Gundam build?

Finishing his sentence, Lu Chenzhou moved.

His calloused hands moved swiftly among the remains of several monsters like the most precise machinery.

The moment the bone knife cut into the joint, a gentle flick of his wrist completely stripped away the entire tendon, leaving not a single trace of excess fascia.

The pointed hammer struck the edge of the carapace with excruciatingly precise force, and cracks spread along the natural lines, causing an intact dorsal shell to fall off in response.

Sitting on the barely clean chair in the corner, Su Lin watched this scene and couldn't help nodding inwardly.

This old man's movements were far too deft.

Every slash and every strike was just right, without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Those monster remains that were worth a fortune in the outside world...

...were neatly dismantled in his hands like ingredients in a master chef's hands.

Meanwhile, the Fusion monster named Shixin was not idle either.

Its massive three-meter-tall body shuttled flexibly through the narrow workshop, responsible for carrying the heavy monster torsos.

But what surprised Su Lin even more was that it was actually helping with the dismantling as well.

Its claws were as sharp as knives, effortlessly cutting into the monster's joints.

As its five fingers flew, it plucked out the fine bone spurs one by one, moving with the deftness of a veteran physician who had performed autopsies for decades.

The human and the monster cooperated seamlessly.

Just as the old man stripped away a piece of carapace, Shixin had already handed over the next part that needed processing.

When the old man needed a certain potion, Shixin had already taken it down from the shelf in advance and uncorked it.

Watching this scene, Su Lin gained a bit more understanding of this Fusion monster in his heart.

Judging by this, the Fusion monster was not simply a combat weapon; it possessed a considerable degree of intelligence and autonomous consciousness.

Not only could it understand complex commands, but it could also anticipate its master's needs.

This level of intelligence far surpassed ordinary Puppet creations.

Under the busy work of the two, the Materials were quickly selected and sorted.

Lu Chenzhou arranged the disassembled parts on the workbench in a specific order.

Then, he took down several bundles of threads of different Materials from the hooks on the wall, and rummaged through the drawer for a few bottles of adhesives in various colors.

He picked up two bundles of threads radiating psychic energy and said to himself,

"These are dragon tendon threads with extreme toughness, used to suture the main load-bearing joints; these are nether spider silks, which have an affinity for dark attribute energy, making them most suitable for running energy circuits."

Then, he began to sew.

The needle and thread shuttled between the monster parts with a skillfulness resembling an old tailor who had done needlework for decades.

The dragon tendon thread passed through the pre-reserved holes in the bones, tying complex knots at the joints.

The nether spider silk traveled along the muscle textures, weaving intricate energy circuits one by one.

Su Lin found this somewhat unexpected.

What is this, just like building a Gundam or stacking building blocks?

He originally thought that the Fusion secret art of the Wanxiang Melting Furnace would be some bloody and weird taboo ritual.

As a result, the scene before him was clearly just an old craftsman earnestly assembling a model.

Moreover, they seemed extremely proficient.

Even though they were completely different species...

...yet in Lu Chenzhou's hands, those parts were seamlessly fitted together.

The dragon tendon threads tightened the bones, the adhesive filled the gaps, and the potion neutralized the conflicts between different Bloodlines.

In just a short hour, a brand-new Fusion monster began to take shape in his hands.

That was a behemoth pieced together from numerous monster parts.

Although it had not been activated yet, just its ferocious silhouette was enough to make most Transcendents flinch.

At this moment, the old man suddenly stood up, wiped the blood off his hands with a filthy towel, turned around, and respectfully bowed to Su Lin.

His tone became solemn as he said,

"My lord, the final Fusion ritual is about to begin next. This is the most crucial part of the entire refining process."

"However, because it requires guiding the power of the skeleton of myriad manifestations to pour in and completely assimilate those mutually exclusive Bloodlines, this process may take a very long time."

"During this time, my lord can walk around the workshop at will, or go outside to look around."

However, Su Lin only calmly replied, "It's fine, continue."

Lu Chenzhou nodded and turned to walk towards the spliced giant beast.

He pressed both hands on its body and closed his eyes.

The next second, a weird and vast power surged from within his body, continuously pouring into the giant beast.

The spliced parts began to wriggle slightly, as if something was awakening inside.

The dragon tendon threads lit up with a pale golden glow, and the nether spider silks emitted a dim purple light.

At the gaps between different monster parts, granulation tissue began to grow, blood vessels began to connect, and bones began to fuse.

Meanwhile, the old man seemed completely immersed in it, veins bulging on his forehead, obviously consuming a tremendous amount of energy.

As for Shixin, it silently guarded by the old man's side.

Those terrifying eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings, as if not allowing anyone to disturb the old man.

Watching this scene, Su Lin actually found it quite novel.

He could clearly perceive...

...that the power known as the "skeleton of myriad manifestations" was forcibly rewriting the Origin attributes of those monster parts.

Transforming them from "remains of different individuals" into "organs of the same individual."

However, when all was said and done, this was merely forced assimilation.

It did not fundamentally change the characteristics of the parts themselves; it just "glued" them together using external force.

Once the attributes between the Materials repelled each other too violently, the Fusion monster would still have the risk of collapsing.

This was worlds apart from his System creation.

His System recreated a brand-new life from the Origin level.

There was no such thing as exclusion, let alone the risk of collapse.

As for the methods of the Wanxiang Melting Furnace, when it came down to it, they were just dancing on the tip of a blade.

Sure enough, it still couldn't compare to his System.

However, just as the old man said, this process seemed to take a very long time.

Because there were simply too many spliced parts, and the mutually exclusive Bloodlines needed to be assimilated one by one, it obviously couldn't be completed in a short while.

And Lu Chenzhou was completely immersed in the Fusion ritual, showing no reaction to the outside world.

Since that was the case, he might as well do his own things right now.

Just right, he had caused a huge commotion at The Assembly earlier, and at this moment he had also obtained a massive amount of reputation points.

Su Lin silently chanted in his heart: "System, open the panel."

A translucent light curtain unfolded in front of him.

[reputation points Acquisition Details:]

[Deterred guards at the entrance of The Assembly, obtained reputation points +300.]

[Shocked everyone with Sea Siren Clan scales, obtained reputation points +300.]

[Phantom Erosion deterred all kinds of powerhouses, obtained reputation points +1500.]

[Powerhouses knelt collectively, shocking all onlookers, obtained reputation points +700.]

[Current Total reputation points: 2929!]

Looking at the points panel, Su Lin felt very satisfied.

Two thousand nine hundred points!

Even more than he expected.

Sure enough, this Phantom Erosion was truly useful.

Those big figures all held high statuses; being pulled into the illusion and seeing the scene of the Sun Priest suppressing the Sun-Swallowing Sin Lord, the shock on the Soul level directly translated into solid reputation points.

Since the reputation points were sufficient, and the lucky draw only required silently chanting in his heart...

...without needing to be overly focused or concentrating his attention, he could draw anytime and anywhere.

Since that was the case, what else was there to say?

Start the draw directly!
