Chapter 146: Iron Bones

However, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey has an extremely strong Physique. Even if it is afflicted with the potent poison of Three Corpses Soul Severing, it can still slowly force the toxins out of its body on its own.

So, just in case, Lin Sheng would re-inject the toxins into its body every two days.

At this time, the skin beneath the fur of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, which was originally fair and tender, was replaced by a layer of grayish-black energy, indicating that the potent poison was taking effect.

As Lin Sheng approached, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey shrank back. These past few days, Lin Sheng would come over and give it a beating whenever he had nothing else to do.

The purpose was naturally to leave it with some psychological trauma and make it more obedient.

He knew that with the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's tyrannical and ferocious nature, it was impossible to tame it. After all, even the experts with rich beast-taming experience in the Yuanyang Beast Sect chose to give up on this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey. How could he, with his crude methods, possibly subdue this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey?

However, he didn't have the intention of taming it. He just needed to make it afraid.

Walking up to the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Lin Sheng reached out his palm and absorbed all the toxins from its body.

Then, he threw out the piece of Spirit Beast meat he had brought.

The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey had long noticed the meat that was so appealing to it. Seeing the meat leave Lin Sheng's hand, it immediately pounced over, grabbed the meat, stuffed it into its mouth, and swallowed it whole.

It closed its eyes, extended its bright red tongue, and licked the blood droplets and meat scraps from its lips into its mouth. But soon, it opened its eyes again, which were full of greed and madness.

It opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and let out a roar. But before it could do anything, a large hand heavily smashed onto its head.

The powerful impact instantly sent the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey flying backward, hitting the iron cage and causing the iron bars, which were as thick as an adult's arm, to deform and bulge outwards.

The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey shook its head dizzily and stood up. Before it could fully recover, another gust of wind struck its head, causing it to fall directly to the ground.

Then came a series of heavy blows. Only when the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey huddled in the corner of the iron cage, clutching its head, did Lin Sheng stop. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the wound on the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's arm.

At the same time, a prompt from the mountain and sea scroll appeared in his consciousness. With a thought, Lin Sheng directly chose to enter its body.

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey also seemed to sense something was wrong and desperately tried to pull its arm free from the other party's hand, but it was useless.

This was because a powerful suction force was coming from the wound on its arm.

Subsequently, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey felt the blood in its body uncontrollably and frantically separating from its body and surging into the other party's body.

This powerful suction force was completely irresistible. The situation didn't last long; within a few breaths, the powerful suction force disappeared.

At the same time, the hand that was tightly gripping its arm also loosened. The Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey stumbled a few steps and plopped down onto the ground.

The fierce aura it originally had was completely gone, replaced by an indescribable listlessness.

It was much weaker than when it had consumed a large amount of Soft Bone Powder, but there was no danger to its life.

Seeing this scene, Lin Sheng's heart settled. The stronger the foreign beast's strength and Realm, the greater the proportion of blood needed to absorb it into his body.

However, correspondingly, the stronger the foreign beast's Realm and strength, the more tenacious its vitality. Even if a large amount of blood is absorbed, it won't die that easily.

This was the first time he had absorbed a living Spirit Beast into his body. Now, this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey not only had significantly weakened blood energy fluctuations, but even its fur had lost its luster and become messy and dull.

It didn't seem as simple as just lacking blood; it was more like it had suffered a severe blow to its vitality and lost a lot of life force.

"Could it be that entering the body of a Spirit Beast-level foreign beast requires something other than blood?"

This thought flashed through Lin Sheng's mind.

However, he quickly shook his head and temporarily put these thoughts aside.

Because at this moment, after successfully entering the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's body, his body felt like a blazing fire was burning within, and along with it, his body was rapidly undergoing changes.

At this moment, he had replaced the Caiyu Worm's embodiment.

When he first embodied the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile, that long-lost intense pain struck again, even more intense and fierce than before.

Lin Sheng's body began to grow taller and expand, but it wasn't as thick and strong as it was after embodying the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile.

His skin all over his body began to turn red and congested, and intricate patterns appeared. The blood energy throughout his body was boiling, frantically impacting the Meridians and muscles that restrained them.

Even with his tough Physique, he couldn't completely suppress it. Countless tiny wounds were torn open on his skin, and the wounds appeared extremely quickly. Almost every second, hundreds of tiny wounds would be torn open on his body, and a large number of dense blood droplets would surge out from them.

Lin Sheng endured the burning sensation and the intense pain of tearing flesh in his body, and replaced Big Yellow's embodiment with the Blood Demon Centipede.

The situation immediately improved.

With the terrifying physical enhancement stacked from the Blood Demon Centipede and the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, these wounds healed quickly as soon as they appeared.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and the intense pain in his body finally began to slowly dissipate. After another stick of incense, it had basically completely subsided.

"Hoo..."

Lin Sheng heavily exhaled a turbid breath. When first embodying a powerful foreign beast, he had to endure immense pain.

He was very clear about this situation, which meant that his body was undergoing drastic changes. The greater the pain and the longer it lasted, the stronger the increase after embodiment would be.

This was also due to the huge difference in his own physical quality compared to the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.

But no matter what, he had now successfully mastered the power of this powerful Spirit Beast.

He looked at his crimson, congested hands, which were more than twice the size of his normal hands. The tips of his five fingers each had an extra three-inch long white nail.

The nails were slightly curved inward and gleamed with a sharp cold light. It was not difficult to imagine how sharp these nails were.

At this time, Lin Sheng's body had grown to about 2.3 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and extremely long arms that almost reached his knees.

Muscles bulged all over his body, displaying the ultimate beauty of agility and power.

Looking upwards, his features were still Lin Sheng's original appearance, but they had become more Stereo and had a hint of wild ferocity. Especially the crimson pattern of a vertical eye on his forehead was clearly visible, adding an indescribable sense of strangeness.

He turned his neck and gently moved his arms, and a series of crackling sounds immediately came from his muscles and bones.

"Is this the power of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey!?"

Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed. He only felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body after the pain, as if there was an endless, unlimited surge of wild power within him, ready for him to command.

Whoosh!

The next moment, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.

Looking at the sudden drastic change in the human before it, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's tyrannical eyes also showed a rare sense of shock and disbelief, as if it couldn't understand why this hateful human had undergone such a great change.

In its eyes, although the human's strength was not bad, if it were not restrained, it could only serve as its food.

And at this moment, the sudden astonishing change made it feel a hint of danger, and even more surprisingly, it clearly felt a familiar aura from the other party, as if the other party was not human, but one of its own kind, an indescribable contradiction.

Now seeing the other party suddenly appear before it, it was startled and immediately wanted to dodge to the side.

But a large hand had already grabbed it. However, fortunately, the other party didn't do anything, but threw it aside, straightened the deformed and bulging iron cage, and then disappeared from the room.

In the courtyard, a crimson figure, like a red whirlwind, constantly shuttled through the spacious courtyard. Its speed was so fast that even the eye could barely keep up.

After a while, the red figure stopped moving.

"Although this new courtyard I bought is not small, it is still not suitable for unleashing my full power."

Lin Sheng thought to himself. Seeing that the cool-down time for embodiment had passed, he temporarily canceled the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's embodiment.

After taking another piece of Spirit Beast meat from the front courtyard and throwing it to the weak and listless Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, he left directly and headed outside the city.

There were too many people in the city to fully unleash his power. It was more enjoyable to try it out outside the city.

After leaving the city, he rushed directly towards a dense mountain forest to the west. Halfway there, he had already switched to the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's embodiment and ran uninhibited through the wilderness.

The journey that would have originally taken an hour only took him less than half an hour to reach the unnamed mountain forest to the west.

In the dense and complex mountain forest, the crimson figure moved through it as if unimpeded, traveling at high speed.

On the summit of the low mountain, the crimson figure reached out a palm and pressed it onto a boulder weighing several thousand pounds. With a muffled bang, countless dense, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the boulder, and then it shattered with a roar.

His hand inserted into the mountain wall on one side, just like inserting into soft tofu, without any obstruction.

"The perfect combination of strength and speed."

Lin Sheng's face showed a smile.

He was extremely satisfied with the powerful increase after embodiment.

His current physical quality alone, especially his strength, was no less than when he embodied the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile and activated the Earth Affinity talent.

There is a big difference between adult Spirit Beasts and Spirit Beast cubs. Furthermore, after this Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey consumed the blood dragon fruit, its strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Elementary Level Spirit Beast.

And in his opinion, the Silver-patterned Black Crocodile's Earth Affinity talent, while quite good, was ultimately just a low-level talent.

Even though his Physique could bear the violent power of the earth, the amount of earth power that this talent could absorb was limited.

After embodying the Blood Demon Centipede, his Physique was greatly improved, but the earth power contained after activating Earth Affinity did not significantly increase, only the duration increased significantly.

Clearly, the limit of this talent was just that, allowing one to unleash the strength of the Blood Transportation Realm.

"Next, I should look at these two main attractions..."

Lin Sheng glanced at the information panel, focusing on the two talents below.

"Let's try the first talent, Iron Bone."

Compared to attribute points, he focused more on the talents brought by the foreign beasts.

Since the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's first talent was named Iron Bone, it was clearly a defensive type.

Thinking of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's powerful defense and vitality, Lin Sheng raised his hand and spread his five fingers, the extremely sharp white claws scratching against the skin of his arm.

Sizzle!

A sharp noise sounded from the point of contact, and a tiny white mark appeared on the skin.

Lin Sheng continued to increase his strength, and the sharp noise produced between the two became more piercing.

This time, a faint bloodstain appeared on his skin.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.

His muscle defense had indeed increased, and the increase was significant, but it was indeed a bit less than he had imagined. After all, the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey itself had a five-point physical enhancement, which was almost comparable to the Blood Demon Centipede.

With the two combined, his Physique had reached a quite powerful level. Even without this Iron Bone talent, his own defense was extremely terrifying.

Therefore, he felt a slight disappointment in this highly anticipated Iron Bone talent.

Thinking of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey's seemingly unfazed appearance under his continuous heavy blows, Lin Sheng suddenly thought of something.

He used his extremely sharp fingertips to pierce his skin again. This time, he directly pressed in with force, but it only pierced in a little before being blocked by a tough substance.

Lin Sheng's eyes lit up, and he increased the strength in his hand again. His fingertips squeezed in little by little, but the resistance grew stronger and stronger until they could no longer penetrate at all.

"So this is the real Iron Bone talent."

Pulling out his finger, Lin Sheng's face showed a look of realization.

He continued to test several other parts and finally completely understood.

Iron Bone, Iron Bone, naturally acts on the inside.

There is not much defensive enhancement on the outer skin. The real power is reflected under the skin, acting on the bones.

If viewed with an X-ray, one could clearly see that Lin Sheng's bones had a large number of tiny bone spurs, intertwined with muscles and connected to each other, like a layer of bone armor worn under the skin.

Especially in his vital organs, head, neck, and other key areas, the number of bone spurs was even more dense.

And these tough bone spurs were extremely resilient, becoming more resilient the closer they were to the inside.

In fact, these tough bone spurs also enhanced his offensive capabilities to some extent.

"A good talent. No wonder that Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey was so resistant to hits. The Iron Bone talent combined with high Physique is indeed troublesome."

After confirming the Iron Bone talent, Lin Sheng's gaze fell on the last talent.

【Talent: Heart Ape (Elementary) (Mutation)】

"What about this talent?"

Lin Sheng thought to himself, not rushing to activate it. From a literal perspective, since this talent was named Heart Ape, it might be a mental talent.

Speaking of which, he hadn't yet experienced the one point of mental talent enhanced by the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey.

However, that was also normal. After all, mental power is not as directly reflected in one's physical body as strength, agility, and Physique, where changes can be clearly felt.

He had very limited information about the mental aspect. To understand the role of mental power, he needed to learn more.

"So how should the 'Mutation' suffix of the talent be interpreted?"
