The crystalline bones of the reef-eating sea otter are essentially a transformation center that continuously transforms biological cells through the source material structure, allowing normal organisms to continuously transform towards metal-based organisms - in this way, it can be immune to most viruses and organic poisons. and no base poison, and the body can become very hard.
To use a simpler metaphor, it is probably the steel system in Bao X's dream, and the 'Pure Rock Body' is such a power.
The thymus of Swamp Crocodile can be induced by hormones to produce a large number of powerful immune cells, which will serve as the basis for more sublimations in the future. In addition, it can also gradually change the nature of Ian's blood, making his wounds more durable. It heals easily and is less prone to blood loss.
It is also the power of the Swamp Crocodile that allows Ian's source material to be converted into earth attributes. It is also the basis for him to control the surrounding sandstone and turn it into armor to cover himself.
When this ability is advanced to a higher level, it becomes the "fertile soil body" and "mud shield" that Crocodile Dragon can withstand the bombardment of alchemical artillery without retreating.
Finally, the sublimation of the liver is the result of the transformation of one's own essence in the inheritance of Sha Kai apprentices.
It can make Ian's skin stronger when needed, reserve more energy, strengthen Ian's capillaries, and allow the body to withstand more strenuous exercise and energy transfer.
The three combined into one, they are the 'Sand Armor Apprentice'!
Of course, because the crystal bones of the reef-eating sea otter also have some properties of water-based source matter, Ian also has some sensitivity to water mist. He just looked at the water mist flying high into the sky with the wind, and when he thought about it, he could also rely on his own source of matter. Qualitatively affect the other party.
It may be a little delayed, not as good as controlling sand and stone like an arm, but in this way, it is not difficult to pretend to be a stunted Wavesinger.
"Congratulations."
Hilliard looked at Ian at this moment, smiled and clapped: "Although you may be limited by your body and cannot fully exert the power of inheritance... Ian, you are already a true first-level sublimator."
"You have stepped onto the first step of this long road."
The old knight's tone was filled with relief. Although he was 100% convinced that Ian would definitely succeed, how could he not be a little nervous and expectant?
Ian's performance was better than he expected. He didn't make any mistakes from beginning to end. Instead, he guided the fusion and sublimation of the essence with the most focused spirit. He could control sand and stone as armor just after he advanced.
You must know that in the past, most practitioners of Sand Armor apprentices were still unable to fully listen to the sound of the earth two years after taking the potion, and it would take four or five years to digest it all.
My own students are real geniuses.
"Teacher, it feels good."
Ian also raised his head. He stretched his body and said with some surprise: "I feel that my body... has completely transformed."
It turns out that since Ian condensed the source seeds, he has been continuously storing the source essence extracted from various Warcraft ingredients and ordinary food throughout his body. It explodes when needed and warms the body when not needed. From time to time, he even runs it deliberately to make it easier for him to use it. The body adapts to the flow of sefirot.
This made Ian's physical fitness improve, but it stagnated when it reached the level of Terra's teenagers. This was the limit that did not affect physical development.
If he continues to exercise, not to mention not growing taller, his endocrine and various organ operations may become abnormal - humans are such fragile and easily imbalanced creatures, and even Terrans have difficulty crossing biological limits.
But now, this limit has been broken.
Ian has a clear understanding that the limits of human children are meaningless to him. He has become an ascendant. No matter what size or age, he is an ascendant first and then a child.
He can continue to exercise and improve his strength.
And those accumulated essences no longer need to be hoarded, but can be invested in every sublimated organ to accelerate their development!
It feels like a hamster party player in a game that loses all experience when he dies. He has accumulated experience that can be upgraded to ten or twenty levels but has no upgrade channels. While carefully exploring the world, he suddenly found the way to upgrade. method.
What more can be said? upgrade!
——Shen X, give me more points!
"Every ascendant will feel like this after their first transformation... experience this joy to the fullest, because you deserve it."
Hilliard smiled and looked at Ian, who was now looking delighted. He seemed to remember something, and then took a long box from his waist: "By the way, Ian."
The old knight handed the long box to Ian and motioned to Ian to open it: "A gift for you."
"Eh? Thank you teacher!"
Ian is still trying to sense the difference in his body from before, but taking the magic potion does not mean that he will become stronger immediately, and it will take longer to grow.
So he quickly interrupted the induction, took the box from Hilliard's hand with great anticipation, and opened it.
Then open your eyes wide.
That's a telescope.
The monocular telescope placed in the box is not big, only 40 centimeters, but it is slightly longer for Ian now. It is made of a whole piece of hollow bone wood, and the lens is covered and protected by two pieces of animal skin. .
"this……"
Ian was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Hilliard would give him a small sword or a dagger or something, telling him that after becoming an Ascendant, he would have the awareness to fight - the Knight Apprentice on Earth. , the masters and apprentices of the sect also have similar customs, and he has already expected it.
But a telescope...
"How about it, do you like it? I know you like to look at the stars. With my craftsmanship, I can't polish the lenses that can clearly see the moon, but there is no problem in looking at the sea and mountains in the distance."
Thinking of the shirt the teacher had made for him before, and looking at the telescope in front of him, Ian raised his head and looked at Hilliard, who was still smiling. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"……Thanks."
He whispered, then realized something was wrong with him: "Thank you, teacher."
Ian raised his head, looked at Hilliard and said clearly and seriously: "I really like it."
"Haha, I can't tell what my students like. I'm not that careless."
Hilliard was also very happy to hear Ian's sincere thanks and his joy at seeing the telescope just now.
He patted Ian on the shoulder and said loudly: "However, since you have become an ascendant, the next training will naturally be based on the standards of an ascendant."
"It will be very hard next, so work hard." He warned seriously.
"No problem!" Ian agreed without hesitation, then lowered his head again and looked at the telescope in his hand.
A long-lost warmth lingers in my heart.
Of course, since that day, he has not had time to look at the stars for six months in a row, which is another story.
