Chapter 865: Chapter 627: The Obesity Rate is Even Higher

"Metamorphosed body? After learning Vajra Body, you can’t learn Metamorphosis Body anymore, at most you can study the Metamorphosis Body technique for movement." Du Gang found Zheng Yichen’s question a bit strange; in his world, there were also some geniuses from the ancient capital or Metamorphosis City who wanted to learn both the Metamorphosed Body and Vajra Body at the same time.

In the end, they all failed. Even he couldn’t do it, although some people from the ancient capital and Metamorphosis City wanted to take the Evil Path, combining and producing offspring to see if the mixed-blood descendants could learn both at the same time. However, as inhabitants of a world, even with the changes from mixed blood, they were minimal.

That is to say, such mixed-blood individuals, when choosing to cultivate Vajra Body, the higher the level of their training, the more they leaned towards the people of the ancient capital. Once they reached a certain extent, they were no different from the ancient capital people, and learning Metamorphosis Body meant leaning towards the people of Metamorphosis City.

"I know other Dusk mercenaries... um, it’s like this." Zheng Yichen discussed Liu Hongzhao and others’ situation with Du Gang, and after listening, Du Gang immediately understood Zheng Yichen’s thoughts.

"I see, I indeed know about the Metamorphosis Body, but my understanding of it is not as deep as that of the Vajra Body, after all, I am not from Metamorphosis City."

"By the way, would it be taboo for me to want to obtain the highest level of Metamorphosis Body cultivation method?" Zheng Yichen asked.

Du Gang smiled, "You’ve already obtained the Vajra Body from me, what taboo? If you want it, after this affair is over, I’ll help you get it."

For him, getting the highest level of Metamorphosis Body from his homeland World wasn’t difficult; he was quite a renowned figure in his home World, especially after he pushed the Vajra Body to a whole new level. People from Metamorphosis City were quite envious of him.

They even wanted to cultivate a genius capable of rivaling him, continuously seeking suitable candidates from Metamorphosis City to become Dusk mercenaries, just to seek breakthroughs in different environments.

However, in his world, there was no enmity between people from Metamorphosis City and the ancient capital because their Cultivation Techniques emphasized different attributes and it was difficult for them to significantly affect each other. It belonged to the kind of never-ending conflict where both sides eventually found it meaningless.

Therefore, getting the highest level of Metamorphosis Body wasn’t a challenge for him. With his strength, overt taking would be enough, and in his home world, he also tested that even breaking the original limit of Vajra Body, it was very hard to kill someone who had learned Metamorphosis Body to the highest level.

After all, once Vajra Body reached his level, most of the enhancements were in defense and Strength, with basically no improvement in speed, no matter how much it was increased.

Fighting peak cultivators of Metamorphosis Body was disheartening for him – their ability to evade was maxed out, even capable of dodging area of effect attacks. Of course, if he stood there and let a pinnacle Metamorphosis Body scratch him, it would also be frustrating. As for the rebound from Vajra Body, Metamorphosis Body naturally came with a certain degree of damage mitigation, which could neutralize the force of the rebound.

After all, the attackers weren’t foolish; knowing how annoying the rebound from Vajra Body could be, why would they go all out during the attack, only to perfectly negate their own advantage?

The Metamorphosis Body and Vajra Body seemed to be mutually complementary, and the synergy was quite evident. Otherwise, so many geniuses wouldn’t be tempted by them. Yet if it’s not possible, it’s just not possible.

Instead of pondering how to maintain both Vajra Body and Metamorphosis Body, it would be better to find other methods to improve one’s speed or Strength.

The World is so vast, there’s bound to be something more suitable.

"Then I’ll ask for your trouble." Zheng Yichen brought out what he had prepared.

"Two pieces will suffice," Du Gang said. He didn’t take all the fragments that Zheng Yichen brought out, just two pieces: "I’ll sort out the highest level of Metamorphosis Body when I get back. For now, I can teach you what I know."

After obtaining the cultivation method for Metamorphosis Body, Zheng Yichen had Lilith record it and then printed out several copies, which he stuffed into his Storage Cabinet to wait for Liu Hongzhao and the others to receive.

Girls studying Vajra Body? Metamorphosis Body would do just fine, and given the choice, most of them would probably choose Metamorphosis Body over Vajra Body, which would cause some physical changes.

When Du Gang was writing down the Metamorphosis Body cultivation method, Zheng Yichen specifically asked what effects it would have on individuals. Du Gang stated that Metamorphosis Body had almost no impact on individuals; it only manifested externally like coalescing aura into a gauzy presence during use.

Also, the individual’s body would become lighter, becoming almost translucent at the pinnacle of use.

And this lightness wasn’t about seeming lighter in action, but literal lightness – it wouldn’t reduce the cultivator’s weight to less than five pounds, including the box, but a good practitioner commonly experienced a reduction of a fifth or a quarter.

A reduction of a third wasn’t much of an issue for those practiced in the technique.

Due to the Metamorphosis Body’s unique properties, this reduction wouldn’t cause any substantive issues for the individual, nor would it make the cultivator so light as to be blown away by a gust of wind.

On the contrary, individuals at the peak of Metamorphosis Body cultivation had far greater ’resistance’ to strong winds than ordinary people, even without maintaining Metamorphosis Body, just standing normally when subjected to strong winds.

Metamorphosis Body’s damage mitigation could also be reflected in other areas.

Zheng Yichen thought this wasn’t too bad... although judging by the effects of Metamorphosis Body, it could be a slightly deceptive passive bonus for those looking to lose weight.

The upside is that with a better physique, it’s like icing on the cake.

"All the people from Metamorphosis City must be very beautiful, right?"

"Eh..." Du Gang shook his head, "Don’t have any misconceptions about the people of Metamorphosis City because of the special nature of the Metamorphosis Body. There are quite a few overweight ordinary people there, and even because of Metamorphosis Body, the obesity rate is a bit higher."

Ordinary people studying Metamorphosis Body to improve their health could reduce the average weight of people from Metamorphosis City by about 5%, but this reduction wasn’t in their physique per se, it was due to the effect of the Cultivation Technique.

This also led to the people of Metamorphosis City often being lax about their weight; someone who weighed 120 pounds there could be equivalent to about 130 pounds in the ancient capital.

This difference wouldn’t be too significant; with 200 pounds, it basically meant an extra 10 pounds out of thin air, and that change would be quite noticeable.

If you go to a market to buy 10 pounds of meat, you could clearly see how big a chunk it is.

Moreover, what Du Gang mentioned was the average, not the median...

"There’s such a thing?" Zheng Yichen tossed some of his fantasized presumptions about the people of Metamorphosis City into the trash can.

Du Gang was noncommittal, "No matter how you slice it, most of a World’s inhabitants are ordinary people."

"Cough, let’s practice our new acquisitions separately. How about we test them together tomorrow?"

"Hahaha, I couldn’t wish for more." Du Gang nodded. Zheng Yichen could master the basics of Vajra Body in one day, which wasn’t a problem in Du Gang’s eyes – with such a good constitution, it would indeed be problematic if he couldn’t.

And he himself needed to properly grasp his new abilities and equipment.
