Chapter 199: Legend of the Supreme Transformation

Outside the gate of the Blood Hoof Soul Raising Field.

The minotaur Habu, with a sullen expression, escorted Lei En out, watched Lei En mount the Dragon Horn Warhorse, and waved goodbye: "Lord, you're welcome to return next time."

He said welcome with his mouth, but thought inside that he never wanted to come back.

Lei En's Soul Eye saw his thoughts clearly, and he laughed twice, saying, "Habu, you're too polite; when I need something, I'll definitely visit the Blood Hoof Breeding Farm again."

He had a premonition that he would deal with this unscrupulous merchant many times in the future.

Minotaurs naturally have long faces; when Habu heard that, his face stretched even longer.

Lei En patted the Dragon Horn Warhorse's neck and was about to leave; Habu seemed to recall something, hesitated a moment, then said, "Lord, if you seek the Thunder‑Lightning Affinity Element, I have a piece of information you might find interesting."

"Hmm?" Lei En stopped immediately and looked at the minotaur.

But Habu kept his mouth shut and wouldn't speak.

Lei En shook his head helplessly; the minotaur still harbored a grudge over what just happened, refusing to extort a sum and then stop.

He had no choice but to pull out golden tickets, each worth one hundred Gold Shields, and began counting.

One, two, three…

When he reached the fifth, a smile finally forced its way onto the minotaur's face; he cheerfully took the golden tickets and said, "Lord, you are truly generous."

Spending five hundred Gold Shields on a tip made Lei En's flesh ache, and he almost wanted to punch the minotaur's horns.

"Speak quickly."

"Alright, alright…" Habu satisfiedly slipped the money into his pocket and continued, "In the southern part of my hometown Tailun Plateau, where it borders the Shi Jie Shan Mai, there stands the world's second‑tallest Mount Karl. I once encountered a clan of Storm Giants on the northern mid‑slope of that mountain."

Lei En understood Habu's meaning.

Storm Giants are the species most likely to nurture the Thunder‑Lightning Affinity, and every adult Storm Giant excels at thunder‑lightning spells.

Giants are an extremely powerful race; juvenile giants are equivalent to Mid-stage Transcendents, and adults advance to High-stage.

If they live past a hundred years, Storm Giants almost inevitably reach the Legendary stage.

Among all giants, Storm Giants rank at the top; they prefer to live in groups, with each clan having at least thirty giants, the leader certainly a Legendary Giant, possibly advancing to a Titan Giant.

Hunting Storm Giants for the Thunder‑Lightning Affinity is certainly not a wise choice.

Unless there's no other option later, one would not try it.

The tip is somewhat useful, but not worth five hundred Gold Shields.

Lei En glared at Habu with irritation, squeezed his legs hard against the horse's belly, and shouted, "Got it, go."

The Dragon Horn Warhorse carried him out of the breeding farm.

Extreme Warriors hurried to follow, thirteen‑headed multi‑beasts sprinted together, the ground trembled and roared like ten thousand troops charging, the momentum astonishing, causing many onlookers to keep retreating.

Silver‑armored Knights and centaurs also took off.

The whole squad kicked up a cloud of dust and quickly vanished on the main road of Gra Morgan Territory.

Habu watched until he disappeared, then exhaled a sigh of relief, but his face fell into a mournful grimace as he walked back, muttering to himself about what Element the slime monster actually possessed…

It wasn't only the minotaur who was conflicted; Ai Mi Li Si was also very curious.

On the way back to the castle, she couldn't hold back, having the centaur leader Zhuo Ao beneath her draw near the Dragon Horn Warhorse and ask Lei En, "Lord, what Element does that slime monster's demon soul have that made you spend five thousand Gold Shields?"

"You want to know?" Lei En wore a mysterious expression.

Ai Mi Li Si nodded repeatedly.

Ao Xi Li Ya, invisible as she flew through the sky, also cast a watchful glance.

Lei En produced a Soul Stone, tossed it straight to Ai Mi Li Si, and laughed, "Take a look yourself."

Her reaction was swift; she reached out, caught the Soul Stone in one hand, and examined it seriously before her eyes.

Inside the violet gem, a silver‑gray demon soul drifted back and forth, and deep within, two Element runes periodically surfaced.

As a Legendary Transcendent, Ai Mi Li Si was naturally familiar with demon‑soul Elements and instantly identified the pale‑green Element as "Poison Resistance."

It is a rare Element, belonging to the Physique category; once fused, it grants a baseline resistance to all poisons, and training further strengthens that resistance.

A single Poison Resistance alone certainly isn't worth five thousand Gold Shields.

The key is the second Element; its rune is over ten times more intricate than Poison Resistance, tangled like a mass of metal yet constantly rolling, resembling flowing mercury, and just a few glances make one feel dizzy.

"Supreme Element!"

Ai Mi Li Si exclaimed in awe; spending five thousand Gold Shields for a Supreme Element was simply a bargain.

Even the poorest Supreme Element is worth over ten thousand Gold, possibly selling for hundreds of thousands of Gold Shields. In reality, Supreme Elements are rare encounters; even wealth can't easily purchase them.

If Habu learned that his slime monster contained a Supreme Element, he might be so angry he'd spit blood.

However, after a long observation, she still couldn't discern which Element it was.

"Lord," Ai Mi Li Si suppressed the urge to claim the gem, reluctantly returned the Soul Stone to Lei En, and, full of questions, asked, "What exactly is this Element? How did you discern it?"

"Haha, I can't tell you that," Lei En replied cheerfully.

Ai Mi Li Si sighed dejectedly, but did not press further.

Lei En smiled to himself.

The function of Activated Metal can't be explained in a sentence or two.

This Element grants the ability to control metal.

Any metal touched by hand can be softened, turning from solid to liquid as if revived, reshaped, altering its structure and properties.

The seemingly simple effect holds limitless possibilities!

First, it refines metal purity to a level comparable to the finest furnace, with efficiency multiplied countless times; second, it can melt disparate metals into alloys, with ratios freely chosen for optimal performance; third, its most versatile use is shaping metal into products at will—bare hands can fashion any weapon, armor, or machinery you desire!

In the past, forging a single Lambo Gun consumed ten days in a workshop and an incalculable amount of effort.

Once Activated Metal is available, after preparing the materials, it takes only minutes to become a Lambo Gun!

That's more efficient and faster than a modern mechanized assembly line.

Originally, Activated Metal wasn't this powerful; it had limitations and couldn't finely control metal's property changes, but Lei En happens to possess the "Metal Touch" Element.

Two Elements complement each other, forming a perfect mutual complement.

Moreover, the gun schematics in his phone, all the component diagrams and data, are fully memorized, making Lei En a humanoid arms factory!

Not limited to firearms; other weapons and armor can be gradually worked out even without blueprints.

Additionally, activated metal can be applied in combat.

It can destroy enemies' weapons and armor, resist the weakening of metal weapon attacks, and also cover a large piece of metal over his body, becoming a soft‑hard combined, fluid‑defense armor!

Lei En cannot yet confirm whether activating the Steel Body and the activated metal will both work.

If it works, his fighting style will undergo a dramatic change!

He already has a picture in his mind.

Terminator, Transformers, Iron Man, Wolverine…

Anything is possible!

In metal form, he can shift into countless shapes; not only is he incredibly hard, but even when injured he can recover instantly.

The Steel Body and activated metal, combined, achieve a terrifying effect akin to an Undying Body.

Two supreme Elements equal one legendary Element!

Although this slime monster is only a low‑grade magic soul, for a Mid-stage Wizard the fusion brings little spiritual power, but Lei En doesn't care at all.

Not to mention the lack of spiritual power, even if it drops a level, he's willing.

Moreover, metal activation is a Physical Element; it can be reinforced with spiritual power, and as its rank rises it will only become stronger.

Lei En guesses that activated metal must be extremely rare; otherwise it wouldn't be obscure and unrecorded.

His original plan was to fuse three Lightning affinities and advance into a Lightning form.

But the temptation of activated metal is too great; it clearly enhances him more than the Thunder God's Hammer and can create countless machines, a broader application than a single Legend Grade weapon.

Without hesitation, Lei En decided that when he reaches Level 6 Wizard, he will first fuse the slime monster's magic soul.

Anyway, he can't get the third Lightning affinity for now; the Thunder God's Hammer is inside the Tie Su underground fortress, it has no legs and can't run.

Even if it did run, he could snatch it back!

The current problem is his electric charge is only about 15%, far from the next soul ascension; if he relies solely on meditation to grow spiritual power, it would take a whole year.

"Where are the short‑sighted enemies? Come forward quickly."

"Let me smash my head to recharge."

Lei En rides his dragon‑horn warhorse, pondering where to harvest souls, eager to rise to Level 6.

Unwittingly, he returns to Bi Shui Jie.

Thirteen‑headed Kodo Beasts ran wildly, causing a huge commotion that drew the attention of residents and pedestrians, a scene of chaos.

The squad ran over the stone arch bridge; the gate flung open, and Lei En charged straight into the castle.

Just after dismounting in the castle courtyard, Fabian stepped forward with a flattering smile and shouted, "Congratulations, Lord, for successfully reclaiming the territory!"

"Congratulations, Lord!"

"Successfully reclaimed the territory!"

Inside and outside the castle, all servants, mercenaries, and centaurs seemed to have rehearsed, shouting in unison and bowing to Lei En.

Ai Mi Li Si, Pan Xi Er, and the Wizards of the Secret Fire Guard also joined the congratulations.

Watching the crowd bow, Lei En felt an inexplicable surge of pleasure, utterly refreshed.

Needless to say, this was definitely Fabian's arrangement.

This Wind Elf is quite adept at flattery; the brown‑nosing is spot‑on, very satisfying!

After a few seconds he said, "Thank you all, let's keep working together. Now disperse."

"Yes, my lord." The group burst apart.

Fabian did not leave; he held a thick stack of cards, brought them forward and reported, "Lord, these are greeting cards, business cards, and some invitation letters sent by people from various circles of Mo Du, some inviting you to their banquets and other events. Please review."

Lei En took them, flipping through the cards while laughing, "These people are well‑informed. I reached an agreement with Mo Du nobles only a few hours ago, and they already know."

"That's natural," Fabian explained, "They didn't know your strength before, so they kept their distance. Now the situation has changed, and they immediately showed up."

The Wind Elf felt proud as he spoke.

He was the first to pledge allegiance to Lei En; now that Lei En has secured the position of Lord Ge La Mo Gen, it shows his foresight and promises a bright future, guaranteeing the lord's heavy reliance.

Upon hearing the agreement, he immediately dropped everything, rushed from Hai Bu Li Qi Gang back to the castle to prepare for the lord's return.

It seems everything is going smoothly now.

Lei En opened a gold‑embossed invitation letter; the precious white paper bore several lines of elegant handwritten script, clearly from a woman's hand. Seeing the name on the signature, he felt familiar and asked, "Madam Xia Lan Wei… Fabian, do you know this lady?"

Vote for me! La la la…
