Chapter 983: Chapter 710: Do Not Use Concurrently

The criminals who were killed are not worth mourning; it’s just that in a world this big, there are too many people who deserve to die, and Du Gang can’t be running around every day, nor can he possibly take on everything by himself.

Otherwise, it would make the official authorities of this world seem incompetent.

Compared to these insignificantly dead people, Du Gang cared more about Zheng Yichen’s current personal condition.

"Feeling good?" Zheng Yichen clenched his fists, the murderers from the ancient capital and Metamorphosis City that he had killed were quite formidable, some being not just individuals but groups, hence quite a number of people died in this operation.

Accumulating small amounts did not substantially enhance Zheng Yichen’s strength, which he wasn’t much concerned about; this operation was simply to acquire a certain trait, similar to the Wild Ancient native trait he obtained in Wild Ancient territory.

The Wild Ancient natives do not have special powers, but their Performance Coefficient is extraordinary, which significantly enhanced Zheng Yichen’s individual strength, something which is difficult to improve.

Now, then.

He tried using the Vajra Body he had learned, and it felt different than before. He could use Vajra Body previously, but it was used compatibly, as he did not possess the physiological traits of the ancient capital people.

Even with top-level Vajra Body, he couldn’t reach what Du Gang... no, what other ancient capital people could achieve, the normal limit; he seemed formidable only because his own physicality was robust.

It was like he inherently elevated the ’martial arts’ level.

Now it’s different, Vajra Body is no longer functioning compatibly.

"Very good." Zheng Yichen rubbed his fingers, now able to easily produce sparks.

"This kind of ability really makes people envious." Du Gang genuinely felt happy for Zheng Yichen; envy aside, he had no other emotions, Zheng Yichen’s abilities were indeed unique.

But they both relied on Dusk, and the omnipotence of Dusk let them also easily acquire things that others couldn’t.

It’s just that Zheng Yichen has such abilities that allow him to freeload, whereas others need to spend merit points for it. Thus, he obtained the power of Burst Mode through Zheng Yichen’s blood as enhancement material.

The power, when used regularly, would increase his strength by at least twenty percent, and the energy membrane produced by Burst Mode also provided extra resistance, further strengthening the defense of Vajra Body.

As for using Stage 2, he could fight five of his former selves, ten... well, let’s forget ten; without Burst Mode, his mastery of Vajra Body wouldn’t change, ten could really wear him out to death.

Not just Burst Mode, other abilities can also be acquired through merit points in the future, but just like enhancing equipment, if inappropriate materials are used, it would rather become a hindrance.

Quantity isn’t as important as quality, only those abilities that particularly suit oneself are worth strengthening. Obtaining Burst Mode through Dusk significantly improved his strength instantly; switching to others would at most increase some conveniences, basically no change in terms of strength.

"And this—" Zheng Yichen’s presence began to transform, starting to become ethereal.

Du Gang showed a surprised expression: "Metamorphosed body, huh... Even though it’s just beginner level, you can use it too? How does it feel? Can it be used with Vajra Body? No, wait, the point is, there are no conflicts, right?"

He looked worried.

He also had the idea of using Metamorphosis Body while maintaining Vajra Body, even considering using Metamorphosis City people’s blood as enhancement material, but after consulting the Dusk nun, Du Gang abandoned that idea.

Vajra Body and Metamorphosis Body, one can only have either. He could undergo such enhancement, but doing so would weaken the Vajra Body; Dusk doesn’t care about these issues, they are only responsible for enhancing and granting.

"No, but you can only use one, using Metamorphosis Body means you can’t use Vajra Body," Zheng Yichen shook his head.

"That’s really a pity, I had thought about it before, activating Metamorphosis Body while maintaining Vajra Body, wouldn’t that be stronger?"

Metamorphosis Body compensated for the speed deficiency of Vajra Body, and came with substantial damage ignoring and evasion abilities. When an enemy attacked, first try to dodge; if that’s not possible, use the damage ignoring of Metamorphosis Body to discard it, and whatever couldn’t be ignored would be resisted through Vajra Body.

One hundred percent of force, when ultimately falling on Vajra Body, might not even be ten percent, even reducing it by half would do.

However, they are not compatible.

Now that Zheng Yichen also said this, Du Gang doesn’t hold much hope for the future, better to continue enhancing his own Vajra Body. Zheng Yichen’s situation is special, being able to handle both Vajra Body and Metamorphosis Body, yet the inability to use both is somewhat regrettable.

But in terms of flexibility, it was greatly improved, switching different states when facing different enemies, but this also means that Zheng Yichen has to devote twice the effort.

In terms of Vajra Body, Du Gang was more than willing to share his experiences, allowing Zheng Yichen to quickly reach the peak of Vajra Body, but for Metamorphosis Body, he was powerless.

That he really wasn’t familiar with, at most, he could only find some journals for Zheng Yichen from those experts proficient in Metamorphosis Body.

Du Gang shared his thoughts with Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and took out a small bottle of Water of Life. He didn’t have much of it, only five milliliters in this bottle.

"Water of Life, even diluted a thousand times, can prolong life and maintain youth permanently. An ordinary person can drink a little and never age till death."

"Ha! What a treasure! Leave the matter of the metamorphosed body to me." Du Gang grinned without refusing the item Zheng Yichen brought out.

With the effect of this substance and his status, it could make those old folks in Metamorphosis City who possess metamorphosed bodies take out their ’experience’.

"Let’s go, let’s head back for a meal." Du Gang thought of something, then added, "And then... when will you carry out your mission?"

He calculated the time, big adventures in Great World, then seeing Zheng Yichen again after a separation, it had been a month. Zheng Yichen had mentioned his mission interval, and Du Gang remembered it.

This meant that Zheng Yichen might not have much time left.

"Twenty hours, still quite ample."

"Dusk really treats you like a workhorse." Du Gang shook his head. He didn’t have as many affairs as Zheng Yichen; his Twilight Missions occurred roughly every two months, and he was currently on a break.

But twenty hours would be enough time; after the meal, he would seek out those old folks in Metamorphosis City.

"Dad, should I go out?" Du Yu asked, slightly nervous.

He wasn’t like this with others, only in front of his own father, he was somewhat intimidated. Du Gang was lenient with him on many issues, but when it came to strict matters, he left no room for leniency.

After Du Gang returned with his young colleague this time, Du Yu sensed some unusual vibes, definitively his father must have killed someone...

Family knows their own family affairs; Du Yu knew his dad was definitely not a bad person, but when it was time to act, his father would definitely not spare anyone.

"Look at you! Remember, this is my colleague, Chang Qing. Though you may not meet too often in the future, remember him for me, go out now."

Du Gang didn’t keep his son because Zheng Yichen and Du Yu weren’t familiar with each other, and they belonged to different worlds; keeping him here would only add to the awkwardness.

As for the table full of dishes, it might look abundant, but given their appetite, it would hardly be enough.

"My dear, I brought over the wine you brought this time, let me know if it’s not enough." Du Gang’s wife carried two pots of wine in, smiled politely at Zheng Yichen, set down the wine, and left.

She didn’t ask much nor show too much curiosity.

"Arin is very traditional." Du Gang placed a pot of Wine God-brewed wine on the table, briefly mentioning his wife without going into too much detail: "Wine personally brewed by the Wine God, I sent some to you before, which you might not have tried. It’s no fun drinking alone, so don’t be shy now!"

Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure which world the Wine God hailed from, but once Du Gang popped the seal on the wine, Zheng Yichen caught a whiff of a fragrance that no ordinary liquor could compare to.

Just as Du Gang said, ordinary liquor has its critics. Some find it bitter, unable to swallow, but Wine God’s brewing didn’t have this problem!

This wine wouldn’t bring any burden to the body. Rather the drinker needed to consider if their body could handle the benefits provided, as Wine God’s brew was too nourishing for ordinary people.

An ordinary person would reach their limit after just one drink, not due to being drunk but because their body couldn’t tolerate it.

If their body could withstand it, then it just depended on normal alcohol tolerance. Both of them didn’t suffer from body tolerance issues, and the greatest benefit of this wine was that it allowed those who could hardly ever get drunk to experience the sensation of inebriation.

After a few bowls, Du Gang’s spirits soared as he savored the meat and discussed the wine he brought back: "Let me tell you, just to acquire these new wines, I had to imprison the Wine God for quite a while.

This time you gave me the Water of Life, I can go there again soon. That old fellow likes unique ingredients for brewing. After he brews some new wines, I’ll send some over to you."

The Water of Life wouldn’t all be used on handling the metamorphosed body matters; Du Gang wasn’t without insight, aware of its value, but he didn’t plan to keep all the extra portion for himself either.

"Then I won’t hold back, this wine is really amazing!" Zheng Yichen earnestly expressed, not only for its rich flavors that linger but also for the fearless drunkenness it brings.

But it wasn’t like some other wines that keep one perpetually unconscious to demonstrate their potency; the drunkenness from this wine mostly depended on the drinker’s mood. If they wished to be thoroughly intoxicated, they could be; if they only wanted a light buzz, that’s exactly what they would get...

The Wine God-brewed wine, since the person was acclaimed as Wine God, the wine didn’t need intensity to prove its power. The encounter with such wine left Zheng Yichen feeling very pleased.

Also, because he had experienced this stuff, he guessed he couldn’t drink normal wines in the future; drinking those would be less satisfying than beverages, which at least taste nicer.
