Chapter 26: Historic Moment, Absorbing the Characteristics of Pig Iron

21:43【Current Iron Eating Degree 46.4%】。

A chilling coolness climbed up his left shoulder.

22:43【Current Iron Eating Degree 47.4%】。

His arm was seized by the coolness, his hand terribly cold.

23:43【Current Iron Eating Degree 48.4%】。

His left arm completely fell, the coolness sneakily attacked his buttocks, and he felt half his buttocks terribly cold.

00:43【Current Iron Eating Degree 49.4%】。

His buttocks surrendered, he felt his whole body as if soaked in cold water, with only a head exposed.

00:47【Current Iron Eating Degree 50.0%】

His head was likewise submerged, he completely sank into ice water, his breath exhaling piercing coolness, he felt his bones pulsing, pulsing like pig iron.

In the icy spring water, a huge iron hammer swung down and smashed, he transformed into a piece of pig iron, being hammered, being ironed, being kneaded flat, being forged.

Cold and fire quenched together, amidst intense pain and collision, the impurities within his body were expelled, he became tight and hard, undergoing a metamorphosis.

He became Ten-Forged Iron, Hundred-Forged Iron, Thousand-Forged Steel.

He was forged into a sharp sword, a blood-drinking spear, an arrow that split the air, a heavy shield, hard armor, a whistling bullet.

He dominated slaughter, wherever he went was war, he delivered death, when he left blood flowed into rivers.

He was merciless destruction, the cold god of death, the scorching bloodthirst, the factor of violence.

And,

At first, he was nothing more than a piece of ordinary pig iron!

01:00

Feng Mu suddenly opened his eyes, within his black-and-white pupils, a flash of metallic luster passed by.

He had a strange dream, dreaming he had become a piece of pig iron.

【Current Detected Edible Iron Type — Ordinary Pig Iron, Iron Eating Degree 50.0%.】

【You have absorbed the characteristic of pig iron — Molding Embryo (White).】

「Not a dream, because that piece of pig iron now grows within my body, fused into my bones. 」Feng Mu muttered, 「Molding Embryo? 」

Feng Mu habitually stuffed a few iron beads into his mouth again.

【Iron Eating Degree↑↑】

The Iron Eating Degree jumped as usual, but the coolness within his body did not increase further; apparently, once Iron Transformation covered the bones, it was saturated and would no longer erode flesh and skin.

Feng Mu felt some regret, and also let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, bones were disguised beneath a layer of flesh; if his flesh and skin truly continued to Iron Transform, how would he hide while living among human society?

By then, he could only associate with E Corpses, and might not even be accepted.

Feng Mu moved his wrist; as his fingers clenched, surging power stirred at his fingertips, with a sudden impulse to tear and crush something.

He looked down in surprise and felt a sharp pain from the pads of his fingers.

The next second, the finger pads bulged and split open; amidst flowing blood, pale white and blue finger bones burst forth hideously.

Feng Mu followed the instinct from his body, lightly pressing his finger against the tabletop; the finger bone instantly pierced the wood like an iron hook, hooking out a hole.

Feng Mu swallowed his saliva, raised his hand to control it; the finger hook stained with debris slowly deformed according to his will.

One moment it was a curved finger hook, the next a slender needle, the next a deformed barb; though none were long, only able to protrude half a finger's length, all exuded bloodthirst and sinisterness.

Feng Mu was like a child with a new toy, controlling his ten fingers to burst out of his flesh.

In an instant, his palms were covered in blood, and ten finger bones danced chaotically like demons bursting from his body.

「This is the ability of Molding Embryo; truly, not like Martial Dao, but more like an E Corpse. However, it feels very powerful, I like it. 」Feng Mu was overjoyed; the effect of the Iron Eater absorbing characteristics was far more unreasonable than he had imagined.

Feng Mu played enough, retracted his ten fingers, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to his wrist wrapped in gauze.

「Can the ability of Molding Embryo only act on fingers? 」He thought.

He tried as soon as he thought of it, and then decisively failed.

「It doesn't work? 」Feng Mu frowned; he clearly felt his wrist bones responding to his will, but ultimately produced no reaction, let alone breaking through flesh.

Feng Mu pondered: 「Perhaps it's not that it doesn't work, but that I am not yet capable; the current Molding Embryo effect can only act on fingers, which are more flexible and easy to control. 」

「Perhaps, once the Iron Eating Degree increases to 100%, it can be strengthened a bit? 」

「Or perhaps Molding Embryo can also be upgraded; since the bracket notes (White), does that mean there are also colors like green, blue, red, and purple? 」

「How would the characteristics absorbed by the Iron Eater be upgraded? Would they rise in sync with the Iron Eater's own rank, or is there another method? 」

Feng Mu's mind flashed with many guesses; the conclusion he finally reached was to first raise the Iron Eating Degree to 100%, then see what changes occur.

With the daily bonus of 【Blood Frenzy】, the remaining half of the Iron Eating Degree need not be rushed; it is within reach.

He lowered his head, wiped the blood from his palm with a tissue, then observed the split finger pad; it had unreasonably healed on its own, only faintly visible were thin vertical lines splitting each fingerprint.

「That's convenient, saves me from bandaging. 」Feng Mu threw the tissue into the Trash Can.

He pulled open the drawer; the remaining iron beads inside were nearly bottomed out; amidst the iron beads, the irregular Black Cores stood out like cranes among chickens, especially prominent.

「The characteristic effects of pig iron are already so unreasonable; the characteristics of the fragments of Yin Sha Nine Nether E Calamity Resentment Iron would be even more unimaginable, right~」

Every time Feng Mu saw the Black Core, a strong Desire surged uncontrollably into his heart.

He closed the drawer; the heat in Feng Mu's eyes dimmed: 「Iron must be eaten step by step, the Road must be walked step by step; tomorrow I'll first replenish the iron beads; later I need to cultivate 《Crane Claw Technique》, so I can buy more at once. 」

After calming his Mood, Feng Mu took out his phone, removed the Phone Card, and replaced it with a new anonymous Phone Card.

After thinking, he put on headphones, then entered a number and edited a Text Message to send.

——Did you sleep well last night? I hope your answer can renew life.

Send?

Feng Mu's Finger pressed the send key, then suddenly released it, deleted the message, and edited a new one to send out.

——Are you unable to sleep at midnight, do you have too much energy with nowhere to vent? Please call 157xxxxxxxxxx, local sisters are willing to be the angels of your dreams.

A planted eye is hard to come by; it cannot be exposed because of a single text message and harm someone.

As for if the worst truly happens, Ma Wei's phone is taken, the other party doesn't fall for it but insists on calling back to confirm, then it can only be blamed on his bad luck, his fate is to perish.

The fate of an eye is to be removed; what can be done? Just plant another one.

The worst situation did not happen; Ma Wei was clearly smarter than Feng Mu expected. Not long after the text was sent, the phone called back.

Dudududu…..

After ringing for 10 seconds, Feng Mu picked up the phone, but did not speak.

For a moment, the phone was dead silent, only faint breathing sounds. After a long time, Ma Wei's voice faintly came: "Hello, Boss, is it you? I waited for your call all night and didn't dare sleep, don't scare me anymore~"

Feng Mu curved the corner of his mouth, lowered his voice and coldly laughed: "Hearing that you're still alive, I'm relieved, but hearing that outside they say I'm a cripple, I'm not happy."
