The next day.
Baek Ain locked himself inside his research room and experimented since he obtained Cross Tail(Replica). After forming a blood connection with it, he unlocked a unique trait of Spiritual Weapon.
According to Alicia, every Spiritual Weapon has it.
Cross Tail's unique trait is "Thread Conversation.", which allows Baek Ain to convert almost any material into thread. Well, it's the gloves' trait, while the spool determines whether the "material." used fulfilled the standard.
However, Baek Ain solved this problem quickly.
The answer for material is "Parasite." from the King of Parasite(SS) skill.
If Baek Ain turned Parasite into Cross Tail's threads, he could turn them into suits with unique abilities.
"Just like Symbiote, but better."
After the first hour, Baek Ain successfully created his first parasite out of his flesh with Venom as a reference, turning it into threads and a slime-like suit shortly after.
Even though it looks bland as fuck and basically skin-tight, Baek Ain created a black symbiote suit with a crooked white spider symbol on the chest area.
It was a great success on the first try, but lacking in several aspects.
[Name: Parasite Suit M.1]
[Type: Parasite]
[Grade: B]
[Description: A skin-tight parasitic armor that enhanced its host's overall physical prowess, sense, and abilities by 50%. The parasitic suit M.1 was "firstly." created from the Parasite King's flesh. It possesses the self-regenerating perk through the host's metabolism and is resistant to fire, metal, and lightning elements]
[1st Weakness: Parasite Suit M.1 couldn't generate Dou Qi and convert the host's Dou Qi. If the suit absorbs excessively, it will die due to extreme consumption or overdose]
[2nd Weakness: Parasite Suit M.1 passively increased its host's strength but will start to consume flesh and bones upon starvation]
[3rd Weakness: Parasite Suit M.1 couldn't regenerate instantaneously and required immense bio-energy. It also couldn't protect its host against an enemy with four sub-realms higher due to its defense mirrored its host(only enhanced)]
"This is the best I can do at the moment. Aih, if only the energy absorbent and defense are better." Baek Ain commented in disappointment.
"Also, it seems parasitic nature couldn't get suppressed. If someone else wore a Parasite Suit, they had to be careful not to get devoured from the inside."
"At least I have 100% control of the parasite. Come, M1." Baek Ain whistled, and the slime-like substance latched onto his right hand, covering his body quickly.
At first, Baek Ain felt weird, but he quickly got used to it.
Baek Ain is 6-Star Dou King and possesses physical strength that rivals Dou Emperor because of the Unrecorded Body Refining Technique.
Baek Ain's physical prowess and sense increased by 50% upon wearing the suit, but he quickly noticed his stamina and life energy consumption were "literally." doubled.
50% doesn't sound like a lot.
However, it is a lot.
He walked to the mirror and saw a black humanoid with stretchy white eyes, a defined muscle build, and a white spider symbol on the chest area. And honestly, the spider symbol is somewhat crooked, and the legs look like three pairs of wings.
Yes, Baek Ain is not a great designer.
"Damn, I'm bald." Baek Ain flexed his muscles and noticed the baldness of wearing this suit.
Clenching his fist, Baek Ain could shape the remaining parasite into a tool of choice. It's a flesh-based weapon but for someone with a poisonous advantage like him and Yi Xian. It is nice.
After thinking about it, Baek Ain decided to make a better Parasite Suit for his loved ones and buddy. Of course, he'd mass-produced a Parasite Suit later for his organization and placed parasitic control so no one could disobey him.
And Baek Ain could always take the Parasite Suit back with the King of Parasite(SS) skill. He's also can order the parasite to commit suicide and die with its host.
"What a nice skill, hehehe."
"And it's a godly combo with Cross Tail." Baek Ain couldn't help but laugh in excitement.
[Don't push yourself too much, host]
[Even though you have Healing Factor(S), using your flesh and blood still consumes your Life Energy]
"Then, warn me until I reach the dangerous level."
[Okay]
For 15 hours straight, Baek Ain experimented with the King of Parasite(SS) and Cross Tail, creating a bunch of horrifying Parasitic Creatures and Suits.
Unknown to him, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan had fought against each other at Mystic Cloud Peak. The winner is obviously the protagonist Xiao Yan as he shamed Nalan Yanran before everyone's eyes.
He defeated Nalan Yanran brutally and cursed her past mistakes, such as breaking her engagement with him. It was hard to watch because Nalan Yanran didn't give up, even when Xiao Yan beat her horribly.
On a messy Mystic Cloud Peak Arena filled with craters and flames, Nalan Yanran wore a white robe stained with blood and dirt. She stood firm with a long white sword in her broken arms.
A small pendant tied with a black chain wrapped around her right hand.
The lucky charm that Baek Ain gave yesterday.
"Just give up..." Xiao Yan said while pointing Heavy Xuan Ruler, a chunk of black steel with mysterious engraving, at Nalan Yanran.
"At this point, you'll die."
"I won't." Nalan Yanran responded indifferently. "Are you going to make me think my past decision is wrong?"
"Breaking my engagement with you is the best decision I could ever make in my entire life. You wretched man."
"I don't know how you gain such immense strength in just three years, but I, Nalan Yanran, have a dream."
"You can stomp me here like a worm, but I would never give up because there is someone I want to chase. Someone I wanted to stand alongside..."
"Hmph. I warned you already." Xiao Yan scowled while covering the Heavy Xuan Ruler with his beast flames, exposing his identity to everyone.
"T-That flame is... You're Yan Xiao!" Several people, who attended the Alchemist Grand Meeting, recognized Xiao Yan's beast flame.
Xiao Yan scoffed and said, "Too Late."
"BEAST-SPLITTING TSUNAMI!"
Waving his Heavy Xuan Ruler, Xiao Yan mercilessly launched an attack that could kill 5-Star Dou Grandmaster. A tsunami-like attack swept over the area in extreme heat.
"I can't lose..." Nalan Yanran moved instinctively and swung her sword.
"A-Azure Sky Flash."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!
Xiao Yan watched the fiery cloud disappear and saw Nalan Jie standing before Nalan Yanran.
"That's enough, Xiao Yan. It's your victory." Nalan Jie said calmly.
"It's my fault for not meeting with your father sooner. The engagement annulment comes off as impolite because of Yanran's rash nature. I'll compensate you with Nalan Clan's land on the north."
"You can take this and be clean about everything." He showed a scroll and tossed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled and caught the scroll.
"Many thanks, Senior Nalan."
"Then, let's bury the hatchet and live peacefully from now on."
"Goodbye."
Xiao Yan flew away with Flying Dou Skill, leaving the injured Nalan Yanran and solemn Nalan Jie. The Mystic Cloud Sect's disciples watched Xiao Yan's back hatefully, and some elders were even on the verge of chasing him.
However, Nalan Jie's presence prevented them.
"Leave him be." Nalan Jie said with a sad tone.
"Yanran has paid for her mistake of acting disrespectfully, but Xiao Yan will eventually experience the same thing..."
"Bring Yanran to the medical room immediately! I don't want to see a scratch on her body!!"
Nalan Jie stood in the destroyed arena and sighed inside because Xiao Yan birthed such a cruel genius. What a shame.
...
...
"Land, huh?" Xiao Yan glided into the sky.
"With this, Xiao Clan will get revived."
Yao Chan shook his head gently and commented, "You're acting like reviving the clan is simple."
Xiao Yan grinned and responded, "We can do it, teacher!"
"We will be the strongest in the world-!"
BAM!
A strange lump of flesh suddenly smacked Xiao Yan from the sky, causing him to fall heavily onto the ground. He coughed a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes with difficulty.
Crack! Boom!
A humanoid creature with a muscular body and black mist around its body appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes. It released an intense killing intent, suffocating Xiao Yan.
"W-What the fuck?"
"What the fuck is that creature?!"
"Grrr..." The monster growled at Xiao Yan.
Yao Chen solemnly stared at the monster and said, "Xiao Yan, give me your body for a moment. You can't fight this monster alone."
"Or you'll die..."
ROOOOOOARRR!!
The monster lunged after Xiao Yan and revealed its hideous sharp teeth, making him experience a death-like sensation for the second time.
