Chapter 162: Transformation Power

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Zhang Lisheng was inhaling air, the space where Mountoad seated on distorted a tad bit. Then, fine yellow and blue grits glowing faintly floated forth from the surface of wizard gu’s body. Bit by bit, the young man sucked it in through his nostrils and mouth.
By the time the grits entered through his mouth, a bitter taste charged straight towards Zhang Lisheng’s mind. However, right now, he could only endure it as if he did not feel anything while he continued to inhale slowly and steadily.
After a while, in addition to the bitterness, the young man began to feel his body had turned hot and swollen. He opened his eyes and looked at the Mountoad in front of him as it gradually turned smaller. After a long period of time, he finally realized it was not the wizard gu that was turning smaller, but it was his body that was growing taller. The muscles in his body began to bulge out as his blood boiled.
Two minutes later, the young man had transformed to become a burly man with a height of nearly three meters with steel-like muscles covering his body. His head was about to reach the office’s ceiling now.
Zhang Lisheng began to turn anxious. Fortunately, right at this moment, his body began to shrink like a deflating balloon, before converging to become the size of a pencil.
This kind of strange and mysterious process of expanding and shrinking continuously in repeated succession dizzied him. As the young man’s inhaling sound grew deeper, the grits floating out from Mountoad’s body also increased in volume and speed as they gushed into Zhang Lisheng’s body from his mouth and nose.
The wizard gu’s body gradually turned invisible and blurred until its appearance had become unclear. Finally, when Zhang Lisheng’s body expanded and shrank for the sixth time, Mountoad that had turned to become almost transparent transformed into fine grit that disappeared into the air before its owner sucked it into his stomach.
By the time the last grit entered Zhang Lisheng’s mouth, his body size just so happened to be a normal size, not an inch taller or shorter than it was before his transformation.
However, from the ecstatic look in his eyes, it was enough to prove that his body had gained enough strength after sacrificing Mountoad.
“So this is the feeling of my body when filled with power after undergoing a transformation.” The young man chuckled and clenched his fist. He found out as his fist clenched and unclenched, the round-square interleaved scales would actually turn visible faintly on his hand.
Striding to the desk, he clasped his forefinger and thumb on the solid wood of the largest and most luxurious table he could get on the market. He wanted to lift it up horizontally but to his surprise, he chipped off a part of the heavy and thick wooden desk instead.
Zhang Lisheng froze for a moment, before crushing the little wooden block between his fingers into wood dust.
“This kind of scene could always be seen in US sci-fi movies, how the superheroes who have just gained strength cannot control their power well. Looks like the transformative power obtained cannot be used as one likes in an instant. I still have to practice to master this powerful power of mine. However, this will be in the future; as for now, the most important thing is the spiritual technique…” As Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself, he strode out of the office and walked to the open space of the factory.
After Mountoad transformed, Zhang Lisheng had three wizard gus remaining, Island Dragon and Kyuuko had not transformed yet. The young man planned to let them stay hidden in the underground trenches in the factory to bathe in the ocean of blood till they transform.
In this case, only Crocodragon managed to be used on ordinary occasions. Zhang Lisheng would, of course, use it to test the quality of the spiritual technique.
It was a dark night outside with a pressing chill in the air. However, at this moment, the young man only felt that the air was fresh as if he did not feel the cold at all.
Not adapting to his current powers yet, he shook his ears as he could hear the discussions between the farmers working in the middle of the night and the slaughterhouse staff about the hurricane on the sea just now, and how he could also see the little insects fluttering its wings while flying in the darkness from outside, several hundred meters away. Entering his Ford Explorer, he drove to the factory gate.
Vehicles would always enter and leave the slaughterhouse so the gate remained open. It was under 24-hour surveillance conducted by nine security guards who were separated into three shifts.
Of course, all of the staff of the new LS Slaughterhouse could recognize Zhang Lisheng’s car. When he passed by, three security guards stood up and the captain on duty shouted, “Sir! Your lights are not switched on!”
“Thank you!” Only then did the young man realize he did not switch the car light on after starting the car. Of course, with his current vision, such a thing would not give any trouble to him, but it must have appeared peculiar to the others. When such weirdness began to accumulate again, it might raise some unnecessary problems too.
“Looks like I must be very careful no matter what I do in the early period of this transformation…” Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself and drove on the highway. After driving for a moment, he turned around into the wilderness and rushed to the beach.
In the midst of the sound of waves, Zhang Lisheng switched his lights off and rolled the window down. Staring at the surface of the sea in the distance, he commanded the wizard gu without making a sound.
Not long after, a small faint blob of mist floated up from the sea beside the car. After that, a pocket-sized green dragon as thin as a chopstick with a length of 20 centimeters soared in the mist and entered the car through the window, circling back and forth in front of the young man.
“36 times. The shrinkage must be a ratio of 1:36. Not only that, if I don’t concentrate and sense it carefully, I won’t be able to sense the wizard power’s depletion at all…” Zhang Lisheng stared at the wyrmdragon spiraling in the air as he muttered in delight. After catching the wizard gu with his hand and caressing it a few times, he let it out through the car window.
After leaving the car, the wyrmdragon that looked like a toy snake began to expand in size in the wind under its owner’s command. Puffing as it was spiraling, its body turned to become more than ten meters long beside the sea.
In the thick fog, Zhang Lisheng opened the car door and stripped off all of his clothes before discarding them into the car. Afterward, he commanded the wyrmdragon to come to him with its wriggling body, bobbing head and swaying tail.
Looking at the dragon bending down by his feet, he caressed its cold green scales with his hand. The young man who usually moved with caution and meticulousness burst in excitement.”I’ll ride the dragon today and head to the horizon tomorrow morning… I’ll ride the dragon today… Haha…”
In front of the blue ocean that stretched out as far as the eyes could see, where its green waves seemed to be connecting to the sky, he recited an ancient poem in a booming voice before riding on the dragon and flying up, burying himself in the big ocean.
The cold seawater buried Zhang Lisheng’s naked body and soon put his mind at ease.
As the wyrmdragon moved its body in the sea as it swam, the young man realized he could also breathe in the water. Not only that, the interval of his breathing could even take more than ten minutes.
Thirty minutes later, feeling that he must be far enough away from the shore, Zhang Lisheng rode the wyrmdragon and dived towards the ocean floor several hundreds of meters deep.
The deep sea was pitch black where the light from above was absent. Using his spiritual technique, the young man commanded the wizard gu to expand himself without restraint. In an instant, the Crocodragon transformed into a gigantic towering dragon nearly a thousand feet long—from its head to its tail—and set off countless currents in the water, disrupting the thousands of strange animals residing in the deep sea and sending them away to flee.
After the wyrmdragon grew in size, Zhang Lisheng, who was riding on its neck, turned to a size half of the scale of the wizard gu in the blink of an eye.
Standing against the current, he stretched his body. Pieces of blue and yellow scales bulged out from his skin. At the same time, the flesh and bone in his body expanded continuously. In just a few seconds, he transformed into a horrifying giant, nine meters tall, with a square mouth, bulging eyes, and four black holes replacing his ears and nose.
Clenching his fist that was the size of a basketball, he suddenly punched forward. Despite the deep sea pressure, the young man could still punch out a current of more than ten meters long.
Without warning, Zhang Lisheng opened his wide mouth that he could extend indefinitely with the greatest of ease. It stretched open over the entirety of his head and became a huge hole that had a diameter of nearly five meters.
The seawater beside the young man that had turned into a giant began to tumble around strongly, gushing into his body along the square hole that became hollow in the scales of his adult palms.
A loud dull burp resonated from the deep sea. A gush of swirling whirlpools spurted out from Zhang Lisheng’s monster-like mouth and shredded countless sea creatures into minced meat, before gradually dissipating about 2000 meters away.
After that, despite not feeling any satisfaction, the young man rationally commanded the giant dragon to swim to his side again when he remembered the conspicuous SUV on the coast. Ending this trip to the deep sea, he rode the dragon back into the shoreline.
The bright moon hung high in the middle of the night. Zhang Lisheng burst out from the sea and shook his body a few times in a blur. To his surprise, it dried up just like that.
Naked, he walked back to the car to put his clothes on and without warning, he heard a faint noise of a ship sailing from the distant sea.
“I wonder if it’s a warship or a cruise…” Muttering to himself, the young man commanded the dragon to shrink to its smallest size before entering his pocket. Then, he started his car and began to speed onto the highway.
Even though it was a hasty trial, it was enough to prove that after Zhang Lisheng had transformed the Mountoad, the new spiritual technique and his brute strength were completely extraordinary.
Last time, with the help of the “connect” spell, the wizard gu could only be expanded to, at most, 30 times bigger, with a duration of not more than 20 seconds.
However, when he cast the spiritual technique, he could command the wizard gu expand up to 36 times in size. As for the time it lasted in that size, judging from how the wizard power’s depletion was almost zero, it could last forever as long as he would not die. This inadvertently meant the wizard gu’s combat ability had been raised by at least ten times than before.
Even though Zhang Lisheng’s body could not expand nor shrink up to 36 times of its original size like the wizard gu, the ratio of 1:6 expansion and his powerful brute strength and mystical power were already enough to make him feel satisfied.
Even though the young man was only left with one usable wizard gu at the moment, he felt he had never felt such tremendous power before.
Zhang Lisheng, who was affected by the excitement, had no intention to rest at all. He drove the Explorer to New York City and stopped the car in front of a hotel that had a star symbol on its signboard.
“Sir, may I help you?” When the chauffeur at the entrance of the hotel saw the Explorer’s window being rolled down, he went up and asked.
“Is your restaurant open 24/7?”
“Of course! Our Hank Hotel is a three-star hotel with a five-star standard. In addition to having a restaurant that is open 24 hours a day, the menu is the same during the day and late at night as well. The chef is always on call, sir!”
“This is exactly the place I’m looking for. Help me park the car please, thank you.” Zhang Lisheng got down from the car and passed a five dollar bill to the chauffeur before striding into the hotel.
