Mechanical Alchemist

"Leader!" "Teacher, you're back." "Mr. Su Lun! Wow, seeing the news of your marriage in the paper, we thought you were going to become a prince and not come back, hahaha..." "Oh, Mr. Su Lun did marry a very beautiful noble lady." "..." After Su Lun and his two companions boarded the ship, the members of the Evernight Group gathered around. Tanni, Lolota, the Giant Three Brothers... Familiar and warm greetings made Su Lun's heart swell with comfort. Setting sail, the huge black warship ventured into the deep sea under the cover of night. On deck, the three of them stood at the bow, faces thoughtful as the crisp sea breeze blew around them. An inexplicable "Celestial" had just arrived, providing some critical intelligence. But the intel was rather fragmented and needed further thought and analysis. That person had actually been quite strong, even tremendously so. With the blessing of a deity, normally few in this plane could pose a lethal threat to him. Unfortunately, that guy mistook Mr. Jing for a common level eight and was unaware that this daughter of Aisak held many methods to counteract deities right in her hands. It was indeed a pity they didn't kill him. "We now have some understanding of what the 'Celestial Plane' is all about. Judging from what that 'Saint Heir' said, they indeed seem to be preparing for a plane invasion..." "Since that guy is still recruiting people, it means, as elder sister had speculated, they don't have the ability to invade on a large scale." "Listening to the Saint Heir, it's not hard to deduce that the deity ruling the Celestial Plane must belong to a divine race that has solidified the 'All-encompassing True Resolution' bloodline talent... truly very powerful." "..." The trio chatted intermittently, reviewing the brief battle that had just taken place. At this moment, Su Lun thought of that ability that simply with a glance could dissipate a thousand strands of Sword Qi, and asked with a frown, "Elder sister, what exactly is the ability of that 'All-encompassing True Resolution' talent? Why could he dissolve a thousand strands of your Sword Qi, but my domain seems to block it?" The strike earlier had Su Lun thinking that if his Death domain were dissolved, it wouldn't be him chopping off an arm, but his own arm facing disintegration. Mr. Jing pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then responded, "I've told you before that the 'All-encompassing True Resolution' talent possesses the ability to revert matter to its original state. This includes spells, energy, life forms... everything in the cosmos. In the realm of Alchemy, this is what's often referred to as 'reverse Alchemy'. Of course, what that person used was a technique from a divine system..." "..." Upon hearing this, traces of surprise flitted across the faces of Su Lun and Qian Tiao. An S-rank talent, indeed none was simple. They had personally witnessed its formidable power just moments ago. With this, the Pupil Skill seemed invincible. But obviously, such a heaven-defying ability must have its limitations. The two listened quietly for what would come next. As expected, Mr. Jing continued, "This talent is extremely powerful, but it comes with a condition. That is, to use the Pupil Skill to dismantle the target, the prerequisite is that the target must be within the cognitive understanding of the talent holder." Su Lun suddenly understood and also breathed a sigh of relief. If such a heaven-defying talent required one's own understanding, it didn't seem too troublesome. Learning knowledge is difficult, especially the knowledge in high-level domains, which will become increasingly challenging. Su Lun had deeply experienced this. He thought to himself, had that three-eyed Frank probably taken the path of scholars like Mr. Hei? But is it even harder for scholars to break through, relying on self-study? Could one truly reach such a level? However, Mr. Jing's face seemed to show a hint of helplessness as he revealed the hidden ability of this enviable talent, saying, "Those who awaken this talent also have a hidden ability, which is their innate high comprehension. They can easily grasp knowledge that others find incomprehensible. They also demonstrate an incredible learning ability, almost effortlessly mastering all knowledge understandable at their level. That's why that guy earlier said the deity race was 'omniscient and omnipotent,' which isn't wrong to some extent. At his level, there indeed isn't much he can't understand." Su Lun: "..." Qiantiao: "..." With added high comprehension, even their weakness was no longer an issue. Upon hearing this, they once again realized why the "All-phenomena True Solution" was truly an "S-rank Talent." All knowledge easily understood? Moreover, it seemed to be the kind of talent without any weaknesses. Theoretically, it could be said that this guy's ability countered all professions, but no profession countered him. Mr. Jing seemed to have guessed the slightly somber mood of the two, and said, "But this talent actually has a real shortcoming, which is limited by one's own 'insight.' Because the knowledge people come into contact with is limited, the knowledge they learn and master is inevitably what they have encountered. Like the basic elemental techniques of Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, that guy must have mastered them. Sword Qi is also easily understood by people. Death, as one of the supreme Laws, is rare. And in this plane, it's unlikely that anyone understands it more thoroughly than you, Su Lun. Even I am no match. That person couldn't break through your domain, which is within reason." With that said, Su Lun fully understood. In the end, it was still a matter of knowledge reserve. A seventh-rank believer in the divine able to understand the Sword Qi of the seventh rank was also within reason. When Qiantiao heard this, he showed no sign of losing confidence; on the contrary, there was a determined will to overcome a formidable opponent in his eyes, as he muttered to himself, "My Sword Dao isn't strong enough yet..." Mr. Jing also said, "Although that Frank is only seventh-rank, he has the blessing of deities. Not necessarily even eighth or ninth-rank professionals can deal with him. Earlier, I cut off his connection with the divine using a barrier, only then was there a chance. Next time we meet him prepared, it will be difficult to kill him." However, when Su Lun heard about the "All-phenomena True Solution" talent, he suddenly thought of his own "All-knowing Eye." Mr. Jing once said that the compatibility of the two abilities was extremely high. One to understand all things, and the other to decompose all things after understanding. But Su Lun's "All-knowing Eye" could only identify a name and basic effects at the moment, far from "understanding." Su Lun guessed that after the second awakening of this talent, there would surely be a qualitative improvement. Although it was impossible to awaken such a talent again. But for an alchemist, it wasn't a big problem, whether it was turning that "third eye" into a cursed object, alchemic prosthetics, or even advanced materials, it's possible to gain a part of the All-phenomena True Solution's abilities. When the time comes, one hand with the All-knowing Eye to understand all things, and the other with the All-phenomena True Solution to decompose, wouldn't it be like staring someone to death? Su Lun, having thought of something, muttered to himself, "It seems that I must take a look at the treasure location recorded on that 'Hanged Man Tarot Card' when I get a chance..." ... As the conversation reached this point, Qiantiao thought of something and asked curiously, "Why was that three-eyed guy looking for Kitte?" Su Lun had some doubts before, but now he was sure, saying, "It should be for the coffin in the Mirror Library." In his hand was a [Sealed Iron Coffin], a divine forbidden artifact from the Bonaparte royal collection. And on the coffin was a large relief of a human face, which happened to have three eyes. Before, Su Lun wasn't certain about the situation of the coffin, but looking at that Saint Frank's three eyes, wasn't it exactly the same? And that guy went directly to him, wanting to inquire about Kitte's whereabouts, which made it almost certain that he was after the coffin. There was also ancillary evidence. Su Lun said with an odd tone, "Inside the storage ring of that guy's severed arm, I found a [Key to the Divine Plane Passage]." That eyeball-shaped key was the same one that Empress Charlotte had used to open the spatial passage before, and somehow it ended up in that guy's possession. Moreover, it's not just the key, there's also a "Divine Contract Scroll", which is likely the very scroll of the contract Queen Charlotte had with that Outer God. And a pile of royal treasures... In short, it seems that Frank had made a trip to the royal treasury and stolen the treasures of the Bonaparte royal family. This worked out quite conveniently for Su Lun. That Planar Key looked particularly special. Unfortunately for him, the sealed coffin he had also possessed a keyhole the size of an eyeball, seemingly made for this key. He surmised that the Planar Key could likely open that coffin. But even with the key in hand, he had no intention of opening it. Being sealed by an ancient Great Alchemist, the coffin must contain some formidable remains. Possibly material for alchemy, or something so dangerous it had to be contained. It certainly posed a challenge. Moreover, as soon as the planar passage was opened, that "Saint Heir" came looking for this coffin, further proving its critical importance even to the divine hierarchy of the Sky God race! It was also fortunate that he had the Small Void Realm; otherwise, Su Lun wouldn't dare hold these hot potatoes in his own hands. Mr. Jing listened and concurred with Su Lun's speculation, saying, "We'll have to be more careful with Kit." Su Lun nodded, "Hmm." ... The Eternal Night sailed through the sea. Once everyone on the ship learned about the planar invasion, the joyous atmosphere changed instantly into one of solemn crisis. However, after a brief moment of tension, everyone went about their duties diligently, but it was evident that the atmosphere of cultivation on the ship intensified. Everyone understood that the urgent priority was to improve their own strength, in preparation for the great upheaval that had arrived. They were a pirate group, but not just any pirate group. They were "Dawn". Su Lun returned to his cabin. Qian Tiao and Mr. Jing went off to the captain's quarters for a bath and sleep, planning to get a good rest. Su Lun's mental state was still quite good, so he went to the adjoining meditation room specially designed next to the captain's quarters, planning to take advantage of the time to digest his gains. After the numerous battles from last night until now, he had much to gain and reflect upon and urgently needed time to process all that he had acquired. Now afforded a rare safe environment, Su Lun had no intention of wasting it. After meditating cross-legged for a moment, he took out the "Hundred Thousand Blood Refinement Crystal Core". The greatest gains from the battle were the insights into his own domain and the Soul Shards of Master Pierre and that Outer God. But Su Lun didn't plan to directly absorb those Soul Shards. He felt that his capacity to endure spiritual power was nearing the saturation limit that his body could presently handle, and absorbing them rashly might be wasteful. Unable to increase the limit of his spiritual capacity in the short term, the only option was to enhance his physical strength. He planned to merge with this Crystal Core first, to see if he could meet the conditions for integrating the alchemic enhancement "Isaac's Giant Strength". If possible, his physical strength would surely surge after the integration, making it efficient to digest those Soul Shards without waste. Thinking this, Su Lun let out a long breath and, looking at the blood-red Crystal Core in his hand, sighed, "This Life Essence is indeed quite rich." It's like a grain of rice dropped by a deity, enough to fill an ant to bursting. The thought flashed through his mind and dissipated, his spell formation coalesced, and the seven-pointed star Alchemy Formation glowed beneath him. The capability of "Blood Devour" was released from his hand, and strands of crimson from within the Crystal Core were gradually drawn into his body. In this meditation, time flew by without notice. ... Thanks to the continuous supplement of dark spiritual power from Isaac's Alchemy Heart, and the incessant absorption of the essence of life, Su Lun didn't need to rest at all and could maintain his energy at all times. Several days later, the once crimson Blood-Refined Crystal Core in his hand had become transparent, its life essence completely absorbed. Within the Alchemy Formation, Su Lun's complexion was rosy, and an overflowing vigor of qi and blood was visible even to the naked eye. Even through his clothing, it was evident that his muscles had swelled significantly, bulging with taut sinew. "Hoo..." Suddenly, Su Lun opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath as if a burden had been lifted from him. But at the same time, his eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, and he exclaimed with joy, "Success!" Su Lun looked down at his hands and never before had he felt his body to be as strong as at this moment. With a casual squeeze, he felt an explosive surge of power. With just a slight buildup of force, the sensation of his muscles contracting felt like a volcano about to erupt, a powerful energy accumulating and releasing with his punch. With a "pop", he casually produced a burst of air explosion! "So strong!" Joy was undeniable in Su Lun's heart. He glanced at his attribute panel, where the most critical strength value had risen from "2411" a few days ago to "4432" now; his health rating had also reached SS+. He had finally met the conditions for fusion with the bio-augmentation. But the process was not easy; in fact, it was fraught with life-threatening risks. He had reached the strength value of "4000" three days before, and the last few hundred points nearly made him give up. Even with the consumption of the Blood-Refined Crystal Core, the body's various attributes wouldn't increase indefinitely. There is a limit to what the human body can endure. This is what is commonly referred to as the "threshold of fleshly body stages". And "4000" was almost the current limit Su Lun's body could withstand. It was like sprinting a hundred meters in a previous life, where improving by 0.1 second beyond ten seconds is extremely difficult. Normally, only after breaking through the seventh rank would this upper limit be raised again. If he continued to forcibly absorb qi and blood, the probability of mutation would increase. Yet, Su Lun felt he was close and, with Mr. Jing's assessment and protection, it would be a pity to give up. Luckily, Dr. Banks had deep research in the field of bio-technology, not just mutation suppression potions but various body enhancement potions as well. Su Lun had procured several body amplifying potions with various side effects from him, which had increased his body's endurance limit. After a series of procedures, he eventually increased his strength value to meet the fusion requirements before the onset of any mutation. At this moment, Su Lun once again took out the arm bio-augmentation swirling with dark energy, "Isaac's Giant Strength". Now the probability of fusion mutation fluctuated around just 5%. He had no reason to hesitate; after resting for a moment, he took out all the previously prepared fusion materials. Then, he drew the Alchemy Formation for fusing the bio-augmentation on the ground. In no time, Su Lun, standing at the center of the Formation, began to recite a universal incantation used by alchemists: "Observe the law of equivalent exchange, praise the glory of the primal creator, and witness the miracle of creation through Alchemy..." The magic crystal at the corner of the seven-pointed star formation lit up, and the arm within the formation gradually merged into the figure. .... This merger took almost two more days. [Isaac's Giant Strength]wasn't a functional implant but an attribute-enhancing one. It required the release and fusion of the curse traits in the implant into the flesh, a process that took a long time. The curse traits of an epic-level implant were even stronger, making the fusion process more cumbersome. Even with an isolation barrier, Tanni and Mr. Jing, in the neighboring captain's quarters, could still sense the power of laws that spilled out from it. After dinner in the evening, Tanni didn't stroll on the deck but returned to the captain's quarters to maintain her beloved sword. Suddenly, she sensed the energy fluctuations from next door subsiding, and she knew it was a sign that the implant fusion was nearing its end. There has been no movement yet, so it's highly likely that it was a success. Tanni felt a sense of relief in her heart for no particular reason. As she wiped her sword, she glanced at Mr. Jing sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper and asked curiously, "Philo, what kind of implant did Su Lun merge with anyway? Why is the spilling power of laws so exaggerated?" Mr. Jing flipped through the newspaper and raised his eyebrows slightly, responding indifferently, "He had previously come across an ancient 'Hundred-Armed Giant King's arm,' which is why the [Giant's Strength]implant he crafted is of such high quality. That curse trait is the strongest I've seen among strength-based implants. I thought he wouldn't be able to merge it at his sixth rank, but it looks like he's encountered a great opportunity during this external divine catastrophe. By the looks of it, he must have succeeded in the fusion..." Upon hearing this, Tanni said with great interest, "Tsk tsk... It feels like that guy is going to become very powerful." Mr. Jing also looked up and with a sparkle in his crystalline eyes, his tone dragging out a bit longer, "Yes. Once merged, it will absolutely give him an exceedingly exaggerated increase in strength." While the two were conversing, the door to the training room next door suddenly opened, and a "little giant" walked out. This was Su Lun in his state with the implant released; his build was extremely exaggerated. He had grown a head taller, and his muscles swelled up. Even through his clothes, the exaggerated sinuous lines were visible. Being newly fused with the implant, he couldn't skillfully control the massive surge it provided, causing his aura to spill out uncontrollably. The entire persona exuded a "murderous aura," an oppressive feeling. Tanni, seeing the sharp gleam in his eyes, instinctively sensed the surging power within. As she looked at Su Lun's gaze directed at her, she said in a teasing tone, "Yo~ Su Lun, you look pretty impressive." Upon hearing this, Su Lun's eyes lit up with pride, "Yeah, it feels amazing." Having merged with the implant, he felt like the ancient giants of legend, possessing the strength to move mountains and valleys. He had already appraised earlier that upon fusion, [Isaac's Giant Strength]would grant a colossal increase of (350—980%) in strength, resilience, and physical constitution attributes! Su Lun's body had a good compatibility with the implant, and his attributes had an average increase of six to seven times. The most direct was the change in his strength attribute, which had surged more than eightfold! What did that mean? Su Lun estimated that even the seasoned seventh-tier practitioners of strength-based professions couldn't compare to him! From the bottom of his heart, Su Lun marveled at Sir Isaac, truly a great and ingeniously creative alchemist! Only after the fusion did he fully appreciate the intricate design Sir Isaac had put into the implant. The implant allowed the magicians who merged with it to almost perfectly graft the material's strength attribute and also granted the practitioners the Giant race's talent for growth in strength. Because the material was the unique "Hundred-Armed Giant King's arm," it was crafted into an epic-level quality, giving Su Lun such a terrifying boost in strength! More importantly, merging the implant directly unlocked the upper limit of his body. In the future, Su Lun could continue to enhance his physical attributes with the [Blood Devour]ability, growing ever stronger. This upper limit was almost that of the Giant King from which the material originated! This is the greatness of alchemy! This is the significance of an alchemical implant! They could graft abilities from other races onto themselves through external objects, thereby gaining the ability to glimpse the truth! Mr. Jing admired the ripple-like power Laws emanating from Su Lun's body and did not hide his admiration as he said, "Very impressive..." "Thank you, senior sister." Su Lun grinned, fully aware that Mr. Jing had not left these past few days precisely because he was acting as his guard, to prevent any disturbances. Mr. Jing, undisturbed, responded with a gentle smile. Standing by, Qian Tiao's interest intensified, and she stood up to ask, "Shall we go out and try it?" Su Lun nodded and said, "Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking. After merging with the graft, I feel like I need to release this built-up strength; otherwise, I'm just not comfortable." Mr. Jing obviously knew why and explained with a smile, "Trying it out is good. Power grafts need to be repeatedly tempered to grow. It will also make the body more attuned to them." Su Lun listened, suddenly enlightened. ... The three of them went up to the deck. Everyone in the Dawn group knew that Su Lun had not shown up these days because he was merging with the graft, and now that he was going to test it, they all surged onto the deck to watch the excitement. The night at sea was unlike the dense fog of Lingdun, which was always gloomy. As long as it wasn't stormy, a bright moon was always visible. The moon tonight was favorable, casting clarity over the sea. The sea breeze was slightly cool. "What kind of graft do you think Mr. Su Lun has merged with, why does it seem like such a huge change..." "It must be a power graft. Haven't you seen Mr. Su Lun's muscles? They're about to explode. Oh, could the title of 'First Great Strongman' of our Dawn group be facing a challenge..." "..." The crowd pointed and discussed eagerly as they watched. If one's rank wasn't high, they wouldn't be able to see the spectacle of the power Laws overflowing. Under the gaze of all, Su Lun approached the mast and moved to an open area where he immediately felt the volcanic surge of power within him almost uncontrollable. He didn't hold back and exerted strength with a burst. "Tear~" The sound of his robe tearing resonated. Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, Su Lun's upper body robe exploded, revealing an iron-like Rune Golden Body. Fully swollen with power, his muscles bulged with perfect lines as if carved by a sculptor's knife and axe, which, under the moonlight, reflected a dark golden sheen like a bronze statue. Upon seeing this, the ship fell silent for a moment. Then burst into loud laughter. Qian Tiao raised her eyebrows and smacked her lips, "Yo, not bad at all." Lolota beside her had stars in her eyes, "Wow..." The other female members of the ship cheered excitedly, "Mr. Su Lun is so strong!" Even the rugged men showed envious glances, "Never realized Mr. Su Lun had such a formidable frame." However, Mr. Jing spotted something else, his eyes gleaming. At that moment, Su Lun had already completed his power buildup and unleashed a punch towards the distant sea surface with the speed of lightning! In that instant, as if time slowed down, one could clearly see the air being compressed, with a layer of visibly distorted whirlwind wrapped around the fist. With a loud "bang," a huge hole several dozen meters deep suddenly exploded open on the distant sea surface. Under the moonlight, the impression on the sea's surface was that of a fist. Moments later, the indentation suddenly burst apart, kicking up waves several dozen meters high. It was as if someone had hit pause on the scene; the deck of the vast Eternal Night was silent as a graveyard. Shock and disbelief were painted on everyone's faces. It was as though everybody's expressions hadn't yet caught up with the astonishing sight they had just witnessed. If that punch had struck the ship, it could have destroyed a mid-sized warship outright! One punch to blast a warship away? Holy shit! The excitement exploded instantly. "My god, is this the strength of a human?" "Wow, what kind of punching technique did Mr. Su Lun use just now? That was amazing!" "..." The members of the Dawn Group, seeing such an exaggerated punch from Su Lun, were excited to the point of flushed faces, shocked but also greatly exhilarated! Su Lun, looking at the bursting white waves, also found it somewhat unbelievable. The effect was so astonishing that it exceeded even his own expectations. That punch was the "Void·Cannon Fist" from the Guma Technique. Previously, because his strength wasn't enough, he couldn't achieve such a spatial-blasting effect. On a whim while gathering power, he decided to give it a try, and as soon as he threw his punch, the move flowed out smoothly as if it was riding on clouds and flowing water. "So strong!" Even Su Lun couldn't conceal the joy in his heart. He continued to launch punches, and the sea surface erupted with "bang," "bang," "bang"… consecutive explosions. As he released the accumulated strength, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. After a while, the sea settled down. "Let's go, time to dive and catch some fish!" "Hahaha, Mr. Su Lun has blasted many fish to the surface, tonight's supper is going to be lavish..." "..." Everyone shouted excitedly. Surrounded by a crowd, Su Lun was bombarded with questions about that cannon-like martial skill and the inconceivable source of that power. The girls from Lilotana, who were familiar with him, even boldly prodded his muscles with their fingers... Almost all the alchemical knowledge within the Dawn Group was shared, and Su Lun didn't keep it to himself; he informed them that the martial skills and such were available in the library of the small void realm and that they could borrow them as needed. He would also explain things from time to time. Seeing that a few of the leaders wanted to talk, everyone dispersed tactfully. Once the crowd had dispersed, Qian Tiao finally spoke up, slinging an arm around him and teasingly said, "Tsk tsk... Su Lun, with your close-combat capabilities now, there aren't many among Lucien's seventh-order professionals who can beat you. No one's going to believe you're still a puppet master with that punch you threw just now." "Hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, Su Lun couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. It seemed like he was straying further and further from the path of a brute, wasn't he? No, this is the necessary path to firmly advance towards the realm of a top-level alchemist. Ordinary practitioners might not have this sense of advance preparation; they usually advance wherever they can. But behind Su Lun is an elder sister who has witnessed the pinnacle of the world. This made him very clear about what he would need for his path in the future. Alchemy is different from other cultivation systems; there is no divine power to assist, just reliance on external objects for improvement. As understanding of the laws increases in the future, a frail body will become a fatal weakness. And Mr. Jing has made it clear that the body is the necessary hardware to carry the power of high-level laws. It can be said that without a strong enough body, it is impossible to touch the ninth order, let alone peer into higher realms! That is why Master Pierre, a ninth-order fire magician, also possesses an unbelievably strong physical body. Therefore, in Sir Isaac's five alchemy notebooks, there are two kinds of alchemical augmentation suits, "Isaac's Giant Strength" and "Isaac's Dragon Rune Golden Body," that directly enhance physical strength. For Su Lun, merging "strength" was also one of the best choices. And for a puppeteer, this increase is not merely for his own body. His understanding of the laws can almost be replicated 100 percent onto his puppets, using rune language and materials! His comprehension of the law of strength had soared by a great margin, allowing him to also bestow exaggerated strength upon his puppet ghosts. And the gargoyle's material can withstand various high-ranking laws. If Su Lun became a strongman, his puppets would inevitably also be able to follow the strongman path. ... The three of them chatted and headed back to the cabin. Mr. Jing had been silently watching and not speaking; once alone, she finally offered her suggestion, "Su Lun, your control of strength is still not quite proficient, refine it in the future, and the augmentation suits will bring many benefits to your physical body. And, the ultimate end of 'strength' is also 'death'. You've already understood your own domain field, and advancing to the seventh order should be without any accidents. If you can lay a solid physical foundation, it will be of great help in comprehending the 'overpowering body' to enter the eighth order..." "Mhm." Su Lun nodded humbly. His elder sister indeed had given him much guidance; this was the "top-tier cultivation resource" that others envied but couldn't obtain. Su Lun had just integrated the augmentation suit and indeed was a bit raw in controlling the law of strength. He had felt it quite clearly when he threw his punches. It was like a toddler learning to walk for the first time, the consciousness yet unable to master the coordination of the limbs smoothly. The higher the quality of an augmentation suit, the longer it takes to assimilate. For others, this might normally take years or even decades to adapt. But... Su Lun now had a "surprise blind box." That was Master Pierre's Soul Shard! That top-tier powerhouse at the pinnacle of the alchemist pyramid had also merged "Isaac's Giant Strength" and attained a very high understanding of the law of strength. If any bit remained in those shards, it would be a great help! A grain of a god's rice can feed an ant. A bit of insight from a top-tier practitioner might save a lower-tier practitioner decades of detours and even enlighten them. Thinking of this, Su Lun became somewhat impatient to continue his retreat, to assimilate those Soul Shards nurtured in the rune black umbrella! PS. Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions.
