Han Fei was quite shocked by Little Gold’s Lightning Blade. Earlier, its only advantages were its hard head and its high speed. The Lightning Blade had significantly increased Little Gold’s combat ability.
If it launched such an attack on an unprepared enemy, it would be even more powerful than Han Fei’s own Draw Technique.
Unfortunately, the skill could only be used once a day even though it was powerful.
So, the Lightning Blade could only be used as a last resort in a real battle.
Han Fei clearly didn’t intend to let Little Gold and the others fight thousands of high-level sea creatures. After all, the level gap among them was still very huge.
A temporary outburst was pointless in front of such a huge number of creatures, so Han Fei simply recalled Little Gold.
“Attach.”
Attaching the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp and Little Fatty to himself, Han Fei quickly reached the peak of a Hanging Fisher. He felt as if he had become a ferocious beast that was full of power and desire to kill the creatures that were coming at him.
Boom!
After he activated the Art of Invincibility, the shell of a creature was shot through.
“Chiliu!”
An enormous electric current hit Han Fei. His body was itchy and his blood was surging because of the stimuli.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That was an exotic creature, a Seven-Gilled Eel.
Han Fei didn’t hold himself back at all but glowed with the Art of Invincibility.
He was like a fearsome warrior on the top of a mountain. Countless enemies were flooding at him from all directions.
The creatures which had been digging holes and looking for spiritual stones, attracted by the blood and the shock, joined the tide too.
Han Fei’s eyes were filled with brutality. For him, all the creatures meant spiritual energy.
“Kill them!”
…
Three days passed.
Golden light burst out of a fish that was more than eighty meters long. Infinite auras of fists emerged and left bloody holes.
BAM!
A person who was covered in blood crawled out of one of the holes, brimming with brutality.
Han Fei had fought for three consecutive days.
His killing intent wasn’t stopped until after three days of fighting.
He really couldn’t fight on anymore.
Otherwise, he would have been swallowed by the fish.
Looking at the fish which had no spiritual energy left at all, Han Fei spat and swam forward for five hundred kilometers. Then he disappeared and reappeared in Forge the Universe.
During the three days, Han Fei had executed more than five thousand sea creatures.
Forge the Universe was almost full at this moment.
The good thing was that Han Fei had absorbed about thirty million points of spiritual energy. Plus the five million points he had before, there were 35 million in total, which should be enough to infer the Thousand Faces Technique.
He prioritized the Thousand Faces Technique naturally because he wanted to hide his own realm.
Otherwise, he would be killed for sure if the crisis that Chun Huangdian described really happened to him.
“Deduce.”
A million points of spiritual energy. The Thousand Faces Technique was turned into a heaven-level, low-quality Thousand Illusions Technique, which Han Fei didn’t think was good enough.
Five million points of spiritual energy. The Thousand Illusions Technique was upgraded into the Illusionary Spirit Precious Records, which could change one’s body size, height and vibe.
But Han Fei didn’t think it was good enough. If a powerful sea demon suddenly emerged in the deep sea, he might not be able to trick them.
After another ten million points of spiritual energy were paid, the Illusionary Spirit Precious Records was changed into a heaven-level, divine-quality Three Transformation Wondrous Book. Further deduction required fifty million points of spiritual energy, which Han Fei couldn’t afford.
However, the Three Transformation Wondrous Book was good enough.
Han Fei glanced at it and read the information in shock.
Three Transformation Wondrous Book (Heaven-Level, Divine-Quality)
Note: This technique, created based on the observation of the evolution of creatures, can allow you to perfectly impersonate three kinds of creatures and simulate their vibe. You cannot transform again until seven days after the previous transformation.
Shortcoming 1: The transformation is rather painful. You may expose yourself when you’re careless or during a life-or-death moment.
Shortcoming 2: It’s extremely slow to practice the sea demons’ arts and techniques.
Shortcoming 3: The Three Transformation Wondrous Book doesn’t contain the language of the sea demons.
Copyable Creatures: regular sea demons, Red Demons, Half-Mermaids
Deduced Art: Unknown
Deduction Cost: 0/50,000,000
Han Fei gasped hard when he read the information.
He had always thought that the Fish Transformation Technique was the right way, because it was about how a man could turn into a demon.
However, after paying billions, he found that it was a path of cultivation.
It was beyond his expectation that the Three Transformation Wondrous Book, which he deduced from the Thousand Faces Technique, could transform one into a sea demon.
On second thought, Han Fei realized it might be easier for a human to turn into a sea demon than it was to turn into a fish.
An epiphany flashed in Han Fei’s head.
All this time, he seemed to have a misunderstanding because of the Fish Transformation Technique.
Earlier, Han Fei thought that a human being had to become a fish first in order to become a sea demon.
But now that he thought about it, a human and a fish were much more different than a human and a sea demon.
So, it should be easier for a human to become a sea demon than it was for them to turn into a fish or other creatures.
Han Fei immediately thought it through.
No wonder the Fish Transformation Technique expounded on how an animal, instead of a human, could become a demon even though he had deduced it for such a long time.
In fact, there should be a technique like the Three Transformation Wondrous Book between human beings and the Fish Transformation Technique. One had to become a sea demon or a sea creature first in order to practice the top sea demon arts such as the True Spirit Demonic Scripture.
Han Fei was quite shocked. If that was true, it should be possible to turn into a complete sea demon if he were to deduce the Three Transformation Wondrous Book again.
Then, the shortcomings of cultivation would be broken, and he could practice the arts and techniques of sea demons like a real sea demon.
Han Fei was greatly tempted. So, the Human Simulation Technique and the Demon Spirit Shift were only for a sea demon to become a human, and this Three Transformation Wondrous Book was a technique that could let human beings and sea demons transform into each other.
So, the way to transform into a sea demon had been with him this whole time.
Looking at his spiritual energy which only had nineteen million points left, Han Fei frowned.
His spiritual energy was too little!
There was still a major gap from the fifty-million requirement.
Han Fei never felt so poor before when he had plenty of spiritual fruits, spiritual springs and spiritual stones.
But on this trip in the sea, he lost almost all his fortunes.
The Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers were gone, and so was the Blood-Drinking Knife and his spiritual energy. He didn’t have any Spirit Awakening Fluid in stock. Xia Xiaochan had been taken away too.
Apart from the improvement of his personal strength, Han Fei felt that he failed to accomplish any goal he had in mind.
“Son of a b*tch.”
Han Fei cursed and looked at the Three Transformation Wondrous Book.
“Will it be easier to swim in the sea as an Inferior Man-Fish? I can always change back seven days later!”
Han Fei was tempted. If he turned into an Inferior Man-Fish, his trace would be gone. Nobody would possibly expect him to turn from a human into a sea demon.
In such a way, nobody would possibly be able to find him even if they searched for him.
More than two hours later.
“Hoooooo!”
Han Fei writhed on the ground. He felt that all his bones and veins were broken, and his flesh was being ground in a mill.
“Damn it… Why is it so painful? I should’ve saved more spiritual energy!”
“Hoooooo!”
Han Fei felt that he was being minced. Had he known that it was so painful, he would’ve saved more spiritual energy and deduced the Three Transformation Wondrous Book again before he tried to practice it.
But there was no time to look back anymore.
Another hour passed. Han Fei felt that he could’ve passed out because of pain, but maybe because of his high spiritual power, he didn’t pass out, which made Han Fei rather speechless.
“Hu… Hu…”
Han Fei saw that his body had changed. He was covered in a thick wrinkled skin. His legs were retrograding. His hands were deformed. Webs appeared on his palms.
Then, Han Fei found that his way of breathing changed too. He could not only breathe with his mouth, but three sliced gill-like structures had appeared underneath his ears too…
When Han Fei looked at himself with a knife as a mirror, he immediately threw the knife away.
“Damn it! Isn’t this too hideous?”
Han Fei stood up.
As a human being, Han Fei wasn’t accustomed to the Inferior Man-Fish’s way of walking yet. He nearly tripped himself over after he stood up.
Han Fei finally regained balance and observed himself. His blue and smooth skin that looked like that of a fish was quite sickening even for himself.
He was quite lost for words. Was that too different from Xia Xiaochan? He knew that regular sea demons were ugly, but he still couldn’t stop himself from complaining after seeing how ugly he had become.
“Never mind. A sea demon shouldn’t look in a mirror.”
At this moment, Han Fei didn’t notice that he was slightly different from regular Inferior Man-Fish… He merely felt that he was ugly.
At this moment, Han Fei’s skin was blue and pure. For someone who had never been a sea demon before, it was nothing special.
Then, the center of Han Fei’s eyebrows flashed, and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, Little Black and Little White appeared.
Little Black and Little White didn’t sense anything wrong. They were slightly curious about Han Fei’s new appearance, but they still approached him.
The Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, on the other hand, observed Han Fei for a long time and rubbed its chains against him suspiciously.
Han Fei kicked it hard. However, he didn’t kick too well, as the Inferior Man-Fish’s abnormal leg wasn’t as easy to use as a human leg. So, after the kick, he was in much more pain than the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp was.
However, the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp recognized its master, who retained the habit of kicking him, and approached him.
Seeing that Little Black, Little White and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp still recognized him, Han Fei had no more concerns.
He searched his head and abdomen again and found that the Demon Purification Pot, the seed, the Demon Essence and the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect were all there. He was even more reassured, knowing that only his appearance had changed.
He picked up the Golden Seal and tried to transmit spiritual energy into it, only to discover that he was unleashing demonic Qi and he couldn’t control the Golden Seal as easily as before.
Han Fei thought of something. There were numerous harpoons in Forge the Universe! They came from all the Half-Mermen, Red Demons, and Inferior Man-Fish that he killed.
Han Fei grabbed a random harpoon and filled demonic Qi into it, before he stabbed it ferociously.
“Huh! It can be used the same way as spiritual energy. It’s rather handy!”
