Chapter 71 Breakthrough
Haimen City was second only to Tianjing City in many cities in China. It faced the sea and the Fire God guarded Haimen City. Its strength was ranked in the top five amongst the nine S-class Adepts in China. Even he had to spend such a long time collecting basalt iron. One could imagine how difficult it was to obtain this basalt iron.
Kong Yun looked at the grain-sized crystal and scratched his head. "Is it that difficult? Why doesn't he feel that a coconut shell can extract so much?"
Ye Shiya did not answer. Instead, she looked at Kong Yun and said, "Why am I on this island?"
"You're unconscious, so I asked Huo Feng to find an island." Kong Yun said.
"Then … did you hug me?" Ye Shiya's voice instantly became a little cold.
"Uh … Uh … listen to me. You fainted from exhausting too much of your ability. If I don't hug you, you'll fall into the sea. You have to believe me. I didn't do it on purpose." Kong Yun hurriedly explained.
After becoming an S-class Adept, Ye Shiya became even colder. She no longer seemed to have any human emotions. Kong Yun was truly afraid that this Ice Maiden would do something too extreme. There was almost no need for an S-class Adept to think about the outcome when facing a B-class Adept.
"Are you afraid of me?" Ye Shiya frowned slightly.
"A little bit." Kong Yun laughed and took two steps back. He used his body to tell Ye Shiya that he was not a little scared but very scared.
Ye Shiya rolled her eyes at Kong Yun. Although she was an S-class Adept, she was not a monster. Was she so afraid of her?
"Do you think I have lost my humanity?" Ye Shiya said indifferently.
Kong Yun looked at Ye Shiya with a strange expression. Although he didn't dare to say it out loud, the expression on his face was telling Ye Shiya that it was.
Ye Shiya shook her head, "I just broke through to become an [S] class Adept, and I can't completely control the Adepts in my body. A little bit of the Adepts leaked out, that's why I gave you this feeling."
"Really?" Kong Yun looked at Ye Shiya in surprise, as if he didn't believe her.
"I don't need to lie to you." Ye Shiya nodded.
"Oh, that's good. I thought you were going to become an ice woman without a human form. You scared me to death." Kong Yun heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Let's get down to business. Can you extract basalt iron from this coconut shell?" Ye Shiya stared at Kong Yun, seemingly a little excited.
"There shouldn't be any problem. A small piece of coconut shell can extract basalt iron. An entire coconut should be able to extract a palm-sized piece." Kong Yun nodded.
Although Fire God didn't know that collecting basalt iron would be so difficult, it didn't seem difficult for Kong Yun to obtain some basalt iron. Just this coconut tree alone could provide a lot of basalt iron.
It took some time to refine the basalt iron in the coconut. Even though Kong Yun's metal ability had evolved once, it still took him more than an hour to refine the basalt iron from the coconut shell.
Kong Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, his metal ability had evolved once in the belly of the giant whale. Otherwise, it would be impossible to refine this basalt iron. At that time, he could only watch this coconut drool.
The basalt iron refined from the whole coconut was the size of a fist. The black crystals made Kong Yun feel very comfortable. This basalt iron was indeed very suitable for mutants. No wonder Fire God spent so much time searching for basalt iron to make a weapon.
After refining the basalt iron, Kong Yun tried to refine the basalt iron and merge it into his body.
After evolving his ability to fuse metal, Kong Yun wanted to devour a large amount of metal, making his metal body even more powerful.
His metal ability became even more powerful as he swallowed more metal. The rarer the metal, the greater the effect it would have on his ability.
The basalt iron was a treasure even for an S-class Adept like the Fire God. Kong Yun also wanted to give it a try. After refining the basalt iron, what would happen to his metal Adept?
"Help me keep an eye on it. I'm going to refine this piece of basalt iron." Kong Yun said to Ye Shiya.
Ye Shiya was stunned. In fact, she felt that it was very strange just now. How could Kong Yun extract basalt iron from coconuts? Now, he actually said that he wanted to refine basalt iron. What was the meaning of refining basalt iron?
"Isn't your ability a control? Why is it related to metal again?" Ye Shiya couldn't help but ask.
Kong Yun smiled and looked at Ye Shiya, "Since when did I say that my ability is a control?"
"You" Ye Shiya was about to refute, but she knew what Kong Yun said was correct. Kong Yun had never said that his ability was a control. However, after the others saw his ability to control the flying sword, they naturally thought that his ability was a control.
"In that case, your ability has something to do with metal?" Ye Shiya said.
"Mm, I'll try to see if my ability can refine this basalt iron right now." Kong Yun nodded and grabbed the basalt iron. He used his special ability to wrap around it, and a layer of liquid metal surrounded the basalt iron.
Ye Shiya snorted softly. She actually dared to order this young miss. She really had the guts to eat the bear heart leopard. However, for the sake of him saving this young miss, let him off this time.
"Little thing, eating alone is immoral." Ye Shiya looked at Huo Feng.
After flying on the sea for so many days, she had exhausted all her abilities. She was very hungry now, and now she had delicious coconut meat in front of her, how could she bear it?
Ye Shiya was no stranger to mutated plants. She usually ate a lot of mutated plants and meat of mutated beasts. This was the privilege of being an A-class Adept. As the most talented young man in the Ye Clan, the Ye Clan could be said to have spared no effort to nurture Ye Shiya.
The snow-white coconut meat was soft and elastic. It flicked and flicked in her mouth. It was quite delicious. Unknowingly, Ye Shiya had eaten a lot of it.
Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun. Metal abilities were very rare. At least, he had never heard of anyone who possessed metal abilities in Haimen City. He was also quite unfamiliar with metal abilities.
Basalt iron was different from any metal Kong Yun had refined before. Basalt iron contained astonishing energy, making it extremely difficult to refine.
Kong Yun secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, his ability had evolved. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to refine this basalt iron.
However, even now, refining it wasn't easy. After two hours, Kong Yun had only absorbed a little. It was impossible to refine the entire piece of basalt iron without a day.
After absorbing the basalt iron, a layer of light appeared around Kong Yun's body.
Ye Shiya frowned slightly. What was this kid doing? Why was his body shining?
"Buzz buzz!" Not only did it shine, Kong Yun's body actually emitted the sound of Weng Mingsheng.
The basalt iron gradually melted and merged with Kong Yun's body. The sound of metal rumbling, the pure black metal body.
"Metal" Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun, who had completely turned into a metallic person, her face full of astonishment.
"No, you … lower A-class Adept!" Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun in disbelief. He had broken through, and Kong Yun had actually broken through. He was an A-class Adept.
Ye Shiya was called a genius, a leading figure of the younger generation in Haimen City. She was much older than Kong Yun when she stepped into A class.
"Hu, as expected, this basalt iron can allow my ability to evolve further." Kong Yun opened his eyes. His metal body could be said to be invincible. Even against the Fire God, Kong Yun believed that his metal body could withstand one or two attacks.
"Shua!" Kong Yun suddenly condensed a black spear in his hand. The spear trembled, leaving behind countless afterimages in the air. The spear flew out and pierced through the coconut on the tree.
The coconut shell that couldn't be pierced before could now be easily pierced through!
"This island should be rich in mineral veins. The plants that live on this island will have more or less volcanic iron." Kong Yun said.
Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun doubtfully. How did he know so clearly? Could it be that he had been to this island before?
Kong Yun naturally couldn't have been to this island before, but he was especially sensitive to metals. After absorbing the basalt iron, he was sure that there were plenty of ore veins on this island. With his current abilities, it would be very easy for him to obtain these basalt iron.
"Didn't you say you wanted to use basalt iron as a weapon? How could a weapon be enough? At least you need a complete set of equipment." Kong Yun chuckled. Basalt iron might be a priceless treasure in Haimen City, but it could be seen everywhere on this island. Like mud, it was the cheapest thing.
Kong Yun placed his hands on the beach, causing the beach to tremble. The basalt iron contained in the soil was peeled off bit by bit, turning into a pair of earrings in Kong Yun's palm. However, it was pitch black and not good looking at all. Kong Yun plated a layer of gold on the earrings, and the golden light was quite eye-catching.
"Look, a pair of earrings is ready. It's so easy." Kong Yun showed off to Ye Shiya.
Suddenly, Kong Yun's body was frozen. The pair of earrings naturally fell into Ye Shiya's hands. The earrings made of basalt iron would not be so extravagant even if it was the Fire God.
"Just tell me if you like. I won't have to freeze it and snatch it away." Kong Yun said helplessly. Ordinary ice could not freeze him.
"If you give it to me, I will owe you a favor, but I won't owe you a favor if I snatch it from you." Ye Shiya said indifferently.
Kong Yun helplessly rolled his eyes, and was able to say this set of robber theories without blushing or beating his heart. It seemed that the Ice Ability had not only frozen Ye Shiya's heart, it had even frozen her face.
"Awoo!" Suddenly, a wolf roar broke the silence of the night!
"Mutated beast!" Kong Yun and Ye Shiya's hearts sank. Indeed, there were mutated beasts on an island.
