Chapter 958: Chapter 645: Mutated Metal Lung, Ascended Kidney, Heart of the Ghost Dragon! (6k)_2

"Two serpents."

The dragon demon found it too few.

"Having benefited from Bo Gang, don’t be a greedy dragon..."

Meng Chuan silently warned before leaving. Seeing his unpleasant expression, the dragon demon nodded repeatedly in agreement, then drooped its head as if it had lost all hope.

"Indeed, much more lively than the imagery of the elephant god..."

Meng Chuan didn’t leave, instead secretly observing the dragon demon’s reactions with his senses.

If the elephant god were to "sacrifice" itself, it would absolutely not dilly-dally like the dragon demon, but execute strictly without a word.

From this perspective, being too "smart" as a symbolic creature isn’t necessarily a good thing...

...

The next morning, at the Infinite Martial Arts Dojo.

The metallic training room had been booked since last night, with Meng Chuan cultivating inside.

He was the only one who could occupy the highly coveted martial arts training room for an entire day.

Outside the window, the sky turned from bright to dark.

After a long time, a figure suddenly stood up.

Golden light flashed in Meng Chuan’s eyes, and every hair on his body stood up like needles.

A metallic aura of gēngjīn surrounded his body, waiting for the final transformation.

Until the next morning, Meng Chuan, having gathered all his marvelous energy, took a deep breath that echoed like a whale inhaling a vast ocean, then stopped abruptly.

Hoo——

White mist rose in the purification room, lingering and not dispersing.

It gathered more and more, gradually transforming into pavilions, towers, flowers, birds, and waterscapes, delicate and as thin as silk.

Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his breathing stopped.

His clothes fluttered, and he sat cross-legged as if on a cloud.

The entire process was like the dragon king exhaling clouds, his mutated lungs making his breathing extraordinarily powerful.

As he exhaled, a faint mirage appeared before his eyes.

With his mind, he solidified an illusory jade stool, flipped over, and sat down, his heart spirit diving into the inner scene.

Looking afar, the western barrier was entirely a steep mountain range transformed by lung metal.

The changes were astonishing.

Amidst drifting clouds and mist, jagged peaks sprouted, the spine of the verdant mountains pierced through the clouds with sharp cliffs and precipices extending endlessly.

An eagle demon stood atop a peak, growing sharper with each long cry.

The five organs now manifested internally and observing the changes of the refined energies after breaking through constraints is much more intuitive than before.

Meng Chuan stepped toward the lung metal mountains, preparing for a closer inspection.

At the same time, he slightly turned his head, examining himself.

From a perception perspective, after breaking the lungs’ constraints with metallic refined energy, Meng Chuan felt as if his overall physical foundation had enhanced, furthering him on a superhuman path.

In terms of details, his breath retention and storage capacity had improved the most, making it hard to feel out of breath during prolonged battles.

He attempted to regulate the five aggregates, the fire spreading like the sun pressing upon his face, scorching and surging.

The dragon demon beside him was shocked, the intensity making its now slightly tangible body flip belly-up from the heat.

Meng Chuan focused slightly, the lung metal mountains gradually faded before his eyes, shifting his focus to the essence of his lungs.

"Quite the change..."

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow, observing the once rosy and robust lung now entirely covered with a layer of golden sand.

The organ, already like iron and copper cast, underwent an indescribable transformation.

Thanks to the control granted by the Flower of Flesh, Meng Chuan sensed the usefulness of this golden sand layer.

Firstly for defense, secondly for immediately repairing any damage.

This meant that even if the lungs were pierced by a weapon, they would quickly heal.

Of course, there’s no need to test it out, as Meng Chuan has no tendencies for self-harm...

Besides the organs’ associated mutations, Meng Chuan could also feel a significant rise in physical resilience and strength.

The metallic refined energy surged like tides, thoroughly absorbed and digested by his muscles and bones, now transformed into formidable resources.

There’s no room to showcase it here, but Meng Chuan knew that if he activated [Final Liberation] again, even fifty meters couldn’t withstand him...

Panel display: [Flower of Flesh (Intermediate)]

Function Two: Liberation, releasing physical strength, enhancing physical force, the chest stigma petals scattering. This increases with bodily endurance. (Current Liberation Limit: 450%→500%)

A 500% liberation intensity, a fivefold increase in strength, already marks the limit for the Flower of Flesh.

While sustaining a 500% level of final liberation is extremely short and harder to control the heart spirit in manipulating the physique, the extreme exertion and explosive growth are not a bad thing.

This will be a significant trump card when facing a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the dawn of battle...

Sitting on the mountain peak with an eagle for company.

After clearing his thoughts, Meng Chuan continued contemplating the next path of "Five Elements refined energy nourishing the muscles and bones."

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys - fire, wood, earth, metal, water. Now only [Liver Wood] and [Spleen Earth] remain untransformed.

Among the Five Elements, these two are his weaknesses.

The refined energy intake in the early stage was also less, making the transformation path likely much longer than the previous three elements.

But he must continue working towards this goal, ensuring all five organs undergo a round of transformation, like a watertight barrel with no shortcomings, allowing him to progress even further on the path of the Five Elements.

Meng Chuan saw a line in the Dao scriptures, which goes—

"The Dao intent dictates the nature and plays out the Five Elements."

What does this mean?

He didn’t understand before, but after several fierce battles with Zhao Linyuan in the depths of envisionings,

Meng Chuan clearly captured the root of Zhao’s manipulation of "mysterious water flow" power.

It comes from the kidneys!

Zhao Linyuan’s "kidneys" seemed as if they had attained enlightenment, wielding the might of kidney water, swiftly transforming into mysterious raindrops suppressing all. A mere handful concentrating on the spear tip was enough to shatter him into pieces.

Meng Chuan isn’t sure if further transformation of his five organs could reach such extraordinary heights.

But if this is due to the power of the "Dao Principle," the transformation of the five organs undoubtedly solidifies the foundation, solidified to an overwhelming extent, ready to explode!

In this way, pursuing the Dao related to the Five Elements becomes much easier and more efficient.
