Chapter 1203: Chapter 914: Transform for Me! (Part 2)

Very quickly, its body dimmed. The Source Substance Huai Shi had injected was really too little, making it hard to keep going. But it still nimbly jumped out of Huai Shi’s hand, climbed onto the table, hugged a Border Relic that looked like an oil lamp and sucked twice. After swallowing the flame, it perked right back up.

"What’s going on here?"

"Looks like it has some kind of instinct for continuation. Did it choose fire because of its inherent attributes?" The person in charge waved his hand. Soon, someone brought over a piece of Source Crystals.

The Lizard decisively latched onto it and refused to let go, its whole body turning shiny and bright.

It opened its mouth and started gnawing. After gnawing for a long time, a small chunk of the Source Crystals was gone. It also looked like it was full, starting to doze off.

On the other hand, it grew a noticeable bit right away.

After Huai Shi followed procedure and finished all the tests, the sleeping Lizard once again turned back into a bracelet. Only this time, the red color on the bracelet had become even more vivid, and according to the tests... the Miracle that had been lost inside was actually partially replenished.

"This is actually a pretty good way to fix things." Huai Shi rubbed his chin with emotion. "Just activate it and then feed it some money... Perfect for repairing luxury goods, and I can even charge triple."

"..."

The person in charge was speechless.

Such a groundbreaking invention, and all you can think about is making money...

"But why can it be Activated so completely?"

Huai Shi asked, "Compared to the others, there’s nothing special about it, right?"

"According to my personal guess, excellent quality can ensure the item remains intact after the Activation ends. Flawless craftsmanship can make the process of Activation smoother, and a pure attribute determines the form after Activation. The size is limited by the Border Relic itself—however, compared to the other test subjects, the biggest difference should be how long it has existed."

The person in charge sharply noticed the discrepancy. "After all, from its creation until now, it’s already been seventy years. It might be that its long history has accumulated too many records of events, causing a unique qualitative change in its own Source Substance..."

"If that’s the case, how about we try this?"

From the spectator seats, the Teenage Girl, brimming with interest, raised her hand and held up the Tachi in her hands. "Teacher, teacher, use this and see!"

The speaker was Kamizaki Haruka, who had come along with Little Nineteen.

Seeing such a novel scene, she couldn’t resist paying out of her own pocket to try it.

"This Chidori is the very saber Lord Dōsetsu used back then to cut down lightning, you know! It’s definitely super strong!"

"Hey, Haruka... Don’t use something this valuable for random tests!" Wood Cottage sighed. "And also, why are you calling him Teacher?"

"Eh, Mr. Huai Shi is an instructor at the Dojo. Even Grandfather has acknowledged him. As a Disciple of the Dojo, it’s fine if I call him Sensei, right?"

Haruka was all for the drama, waving the weapon in her hands nonstop. "Besides, I totally trust Mr. Huai Shi’s Ability. There’s no problem at all!"

She felt zero pressure, but Huai Shi was under a ton of pressure.

This thing was the Dojo’s treasured heirloom. If he broke it, wouldn’t he have to pay through the nose?!

But... since she’d already said that much, Huai Shi actually started getting eager too.

They were already here anyway, so might as well try. Try and see...

Soon, the finely decorated Tachi was brought before Huai Shi. Its blade was like frost and snow, dripping with antiquity. A faint sword aura surged within, its killing intent razor sharp. Even just looking at it, anyone could tell this was an extraordinary blade.

After Huai Shi worked hard to get himself back in the right state, he took a deep breath and gripped the hilt with full concentration.

Forging, begin!

A blaze flared—and vanished!

In an instant, the Long Knife in his hands disappeared. Right after that, a bolt of lightning burst out of thin air, the crisp chirp echoing throughout the entire underground space.

The streak of lightning that zigzagged and leaped broke free from Huai Shi’s hands to soar through the air. Soon, it dove toward the ground.

With a clap of Thunderbolt, sparks exploded.

"Woof! Woof!"

A lively Shiba Inu actually jumped out of the lightning, its steps light and bouncy as it ran around the field in high spirits. Hanging from its neck was a triangular scarf with the same color and tang-grass pattern as the sword fittings.

After affectionately rubbing against Huai Shi’s pant leg, it lowered its head to sniff the ground, then dashed into the spectator seats, leaping straight into Kamizaki Haruka’s arms, wagging its tail and starting to lick like crazy.

"Hahaha, that tickles... Good boy, good boy..."

Haruka held the Shiba Inu in her arms, excitedly rubbing it. "I didn’t think it’d be this cute. Sensei, you’re amazing! If I’d known, I would’ve brought Yoshimitsu Bones too..."

"Hey, can you not push it?" Wood Cottage shook his head beside her, but couldn’t resist reaching out to give the dog a rub as well.

Not gonna lie, it felt pretty good.

"It even retains the original Stigma? This is already a Hell Creature..." The person in charge watched the data. "But if it’s called Chidori, why did it turn into a Shiba Inu instead?"

"Probably because of a Samurai’s loyalty and righteousness." Huai Shi shook his head and sighed.

Serve one’s lord, fearless in the face of death... From that perspective, a Samurai’s Sword turning into a loyal dog wasn’t wrong at all.

However, soon enough, Huai Shi turned his sinful gaze onto his other student...

Being stared at by those hopeful eyes, Yuan Yuan subconsciously hugged Mountain Monarch tighter, hesitating to speak. In the end, after much wavering, she still handed over her greatsword.

But those uneasy eyes staring at Huai Shi’s back made him feel an extra-heavy sense of guilt.

Like he’d just snatched away a child’s favorite toy.

"Relax, just once... just once... I’ll give it back right after I’m done."

That’s what he said, but his hands didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

Forging, begin!

Fire flashed.

Huai Shi’s eyes widened. "Change for me!"

In his hands, Mountain Monarch’s outline abruptly dissolved, yet the heavy weight didn’t change at all. What replaced it was... a yellow-and-black... fat cat?

"Meow... raooo!"

The orange fat cat with black stripes let out a meow, realized something was off, and forcefully tried to put on a dignified expression—only to suddenly feel a chill down its back.

It sensed its master’s eyes lighting up.

A moment later, it was handed back to endure all kinds of "affectionate abuse," its dignified cries turning into mews as it rolled over in bliss.

After three consecutive successes, Huai Shi’s confidence swelled to an unprecedented height, and he actually pulled The Fly King out of his bag.

Time to keep pushing!

"Hey! Wait, bro, try something else first!" Beelzebub panicked, struggling with all his might. "Hold up, hold up, stop! Ah!! Yameteeee!!!"

"What are you scared of? Worst case, you turn into a fly. You think I’d laugh at you? Ah, maybe I would... Come on, just try it! It’ll be over in a second..."

Amid Huai Shi’s excited grin, the flames flared, and the Forging ended in an instant.

In his hands, the heavy pistol rapidly shrank, turning into a plump, round... plump, round...

Huai Shi froze on the spot.

He widened his eyes, leaned in closer, and scrutinized it carefully.

He couldn’t believe it.

What the hell?

Why did it look so much like...

"A Dung Beetle?"
