Chapter 146: Iron Armor Is Born! The Power of Lightning!

A panel belonging to that Light Point unfolded just like that.

And what the unfolding of the panel meant goes without saying.

It meant he could edit, directly evolving the structure of muscular Electric Discharge onto the Light Point's body.

Because the essence of the Light Point is also a kind of fungus!

It also belongs to a kind of organism.

Originally his idea had been to wait for the sperm whale's diving ability to arrive while spending a great price to edit and change Light Points one by one, using quantity to trigger a qualitative change, so that by then he could simultaneously possess powerful electricity and Iron Armor.

But the trouble was that these Light Points belonged to artificial modification, individual modification, not like Strange Beasts that underwent large-scale mutation under some special circumstance; the modification of one or two Light Points brought too feeble an effect.

Just like a rootless duckweed, it had no air-sac tissue belonging to it like the Fire Light Point to survive on, nor did it have a special structure and ice-element pouch like the Frost Light Point.

It simply had no soil of its own; without soil to nourish it, its numbers would not increase on their own, and it would only step by step sink into death as Time passed.

So that half a year passed just like that; he had even found the prerequisite ability for the Iron Armor ability—Diving LV3 (Overlord) of the sperm whale—yet he still had not achieved the true birth of a lightning Light Point.

But now it was different, because the harvest from the deep-sea trip was too rich, directly letting him find the other half of the bloodworm ability, allowing the abilities within his body to become complete at once, and he could directly apply those mutated Light Point Characteristics to internal modification.

From here on, he would obtain Iron Armor and the power of lightning in one breath!

Thinking of this, Baichuan no longer hesitated, directly opening the ability model of that one Light Point, and then directly placing the ability "Muscular Electric Discharge LV3 (Overlord)" into it.

Perhaps this ability had no great effect on a single Light Point, the electricity it brought was extremely feeble.

But one or two might produce very feeble currents, yet when gathered into thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or tens of millions, what kind of sight would appear?

Baichuan did not know, but he would soon find out; perhaps by then the only thing limiting him would be whether his body's tolerance to electricity was strong enough.

Thinking of this, he directly clicked confirm and pay on the information on the panel.

Along with the disappearance of 3 points, the Light Point in Baichuan's hand also slowly lost its light.

A stream of extremely fine liquid wrapped around it, and Baichuan, who had witnessed this scene through the vision of another Light Point, hurriedly put it down to avoid being accidentally harmed by that liquid.

Then, when it had completely transformed into a tiny shell-like object utterly devoid of killing power, he once again drove out a large cluster of Light Points to carefully lift and wrap it, slowly turning it into a small Crystal to safely protect it, only then letting out a breath of relief.

He could not afford to be careless; this was the hope by which he could freely control the power of lightning.

Having done all this, Baichuan directly grabbed that Crystal; now all that remained was to wait for the Light Point within the Crystal to complete its evolution.

However, this spare time could not be wasted either; he still needed to devour a large swath of metal, for how powerful his outer armor would be would depend on the strength of the metal.

Tunjin LV3 was a special ability; its strength lay not in the ability itself, but in how powerful the external objects it absorbed were.

Speaking of metal, the strongest metal in Baichuan's memory should be titanium alloy; unfortunately, he did not know much about this area.

He only knew of the existence of this kind of metal, but alloys were obviously not naturally born; for the current him, there was no need to think about this.

After much deliberation, he had only just begun preparing to fly, so he should not aim too high; for now, he would honestly use metals like iron.

Thinking of this, he recalled that on Man Huang Da Lu before, he had encountered quite a few iron mines, and his current location was especially close to them.

In that case, he would return to Man Huang Da Lu to take a look.

The thought arose, and Baichuan no longer hesitated; since he had previously removed his wings, for now he could only swim through the seawater, then return to land to move about.

Fortunately, the current him no longer needed to consider safety issues; now it was others who needed to fear him, not him fearing other creatures.

……

Time passed through a day and a night of traveling.

Because he was already relatively close to the Qian Hai region, he experienced only one sunset and sunrise before reaching shore again.

Then he spent another full day running nonstop, during which he devoured large numbers of animals seen along the way, and finally arrived before that iron mine.

This was an open-pit iron mine located on a mountaintop, with large quantities of iron-containing stones piled on the ground just like that.

Looking at these, Baichuan did not hesitate, directly lowering his head and beginning to bite into them mouthful by mouthful.

Speaking of which, if not for the fact that he already possessed the Iron Teeth ability, which allowed him to directly bite apart and swallow those hard iron ores.

He estimated that if he wanted to obtain a complete set of Iron Armor, he would need to spend a great deal of Time slowly drinking down large quantities of liquid containing iron as a component.

Or, like the original host of this ability, the scaled-horned gastropod snail, stay in the deep sea and slowly absorb iron components until the Iron Armor formed.

Yet even so, he bit his own teeth until they chipped one after another, his mouth full of bright red blood.

Unfortunately, Light Points were of very limited help with this kind of substance; otherwise, he would have wanted the Light Points to help him absorb iron elements directly.

Fortunately, after paying such a great price, he finally, three days later, completely gave birth to a layer of incomparably hard iron scales across every position on his body's surface—yes, iron scales!

The metal he had swallowed down, he completely transformed and covered over his own scales; only in this way would the Iron Armor not affect his own flexibility, while also bringing the tightest defense.

Standing on the ground at this moment, he had completely become a slender, all-black flood python…… no, perhaps soon to be called a flood dragon.

Baichuan silently thought, feeling the Light Point he had been gripping in his claw begin to tremble slightly; that meant that one Light Point had also completed its evolution!

"Has it finally come to this moment?"

Feeling the good news coming one after another, Baichuan could not help but feel secretly delighted, muttering to himself.

As he spread open the Crystal in his palm once more, a bluish-white Light Point flew up conspicuously; that was the Light Point that had successfully evolved.

If things had continued as in the previous half a year, barring accidents, it would soon have died.

But now it was different!

While deliberating, a large number of Original Light Points flowed out from his claw, slowly wrapping it and pulling it into the Star Bag within his body; in an instant that Light Point vanished, and his internal organs trembled.

Then another faint mark appeared, signifying that from this moment on, he could transform Original Light Points into lightning Light Points.

"Come, let me see how this power fares now!"
