Chapter 312 - 105: This Grandson is Incredibly Astute! (Please Subscribe)
In the end, Qin Yanqiu was not brought to consummate the marriage in this secret chamber.
Cheng Guang feigned a heavily injured appearance, and to maintain the lie, he had to recuperate in this chamber for a day before choosing an opportunity to leave.
Now that the wedding had taken place, it wouldn’t be long before they set off to return to the Capital city.
After returning to the Capital city, another wedding ceremony would be held, and it wouldn’t be too late to consummate the marriage then. Discover hidden stories at NovelBin.Côm
Cheng Guang pondered, and after Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan left, he sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, checking the mission he had just completed.
The reward for teaching Qin Gaozhi a lesson this time was a piece of Devil Transformation Armor, a Different Treasure of the same grade as the Restraint Pearl.
The quality was quite good.
Judging by the name, it seemed to be a piece of body armor as well.
But what did the ’Devil Transformation’ part mean?
Could it be as literal as it sounded?
Cheng Guang speculated in his heart, without much hesitation, he mentally voiced his intent, "Claim reward."
As his words fell, golden light started to flicker before Cheng Guang’s eyes.
The streaks of golden light flowed like gauzy streams of water from the void into view.
Within that golden light, a tall and majestic set of armor with a somewhat fierce appearance slowly revealed its form.
The exterior of the armor was a dark red, seemingly fashioned from the bones and fur of various members of the Devil Clan, as well as various mysterious metals, each piece of armor engraved with complex runes.
Cheng Guang slowly reached out and touched the Devil Transformation Armor.
As Cheng Guang’s fingertips came into contact with the Devil Transformation Armor, it shimmered with a translucent light; what was originally somewhat ethereal within the golden light gradually solidified.
It firmly landed in Cheng Guang’s hands,
bringing a sensation of icy heaviness to his palms.
At the same time Cheng Guang’s fingertips touched the Devil Transformation Armor, a stream of information surfaced in his mind.
[Devil Transformation Armor: Heavenly Treasure, the Devil Transformation Armor can record the appearance, skeleton, and aura of any member of the Devil Clan. The person wearing the Devil Transformation Armor can transform into the recorded Devil Clan member’s appearance and gain 30% of their strength.]
Hiss…
To be able to record the appearance, skeleton, and aura of any Devil Clan member...
That means one could completely disguise themselves as a member of the Devil Clan, right?
Not only that, but the Devil Transformation Armor can also inherit 30% of the disguised Devil Clan member’s strength.
That’s impressive.
The biggest fear of disguising as a member of the Devil Clan is revealing flaws during combat, but the Devil Transformation Armor could lend one 30% of the disguised Devil Clan member’s strength.
While inheriting 30% of the strength doesn’t seem like much, it depends on the realm of the Devil Clan member in question.
If it’s at the level of a Devil Emperor, even just having 30% of their strength would allow one to stride unchallenged under the Sky-Man.
Cheng Guang clicked his tongue in admiration, feeling that the Devil Transformation Armor was truly remarkable.
Worthy of being a Heavenly Treasure.
Being a Different Treasure, the Devil Transformation Armor needed to recognize its master.
Cheng Guang dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the Devil Transformation Armor.
The moment the blood touched the Devil Transformation Armor, it was absorbed.
At the same time, Cheng Guang felt he could control the Devil Transformation Armor at will, and he instantly understood how to use it.
Currently, the Devil Transformation Armor hadn’t recorded any Devil Clan member’s information, so it couldn’t change its appearance yet.
To record a member of the Devil Clan, one would need to extract a Devil Pill formed from their bloodline and merge it with the Devil Transformation Armor.
Cheng Guang willed the Devil Transformation Armor onto his body.
He raised his arm and found that the palm of the armor had a slot, neither too big nor too small, just the right size for a Devil Pill.
It was noteworthy that the Devil Transformation Armor could record only one Devil Clan member at a time, and if one wished to update the recorded member, the previously recorded one would be replaced.
To revert to the previous record, one would need to absorb a new Devil Pill again.
For Devil Clan members of low rank, recording and re-recording mattered little, and the difference was negligible. However, for members at the Devil Emperor’s level, Cheng Guang would have to deliberate if he wanted to change the recorded member in the Devil Transformation Armor.
This was, in a way, a happy dilemma.
Cheng Guang chuckled to himself and shook his head, unperturbed. Devil Emperor Devil Pills were not easy to come by, and if he obtained one, he probably wouldn’t change it for a while.
Unless he obtained a Devil Pill from a Devil Clan member more powerful than a Devil Emperor.
Devil Emperors could be considered the most powerful present-day fighting force within the Devil Clan, and Cheng Guang had yet to hear of a stronger being.
So, for the moment, there was no need for concern.
But let’s get back to the topic at hand.
Even a Devil Emperor’s Devil Pill was not something easily obtained.
During the previous royal ceremony, Emperor Zhou and Cheng Zhihai had worked together to kill a White Tiger Devil Emperor, and in the past several decades, there had only been one such Devil Emperor slain within the Great Zhou domain.
To obtain a Devil Emperor’s Devil Pill, Cheng Guang reckoned he would have to put in quite some effort.
If possible, it would be great to acquire the White Tiger Devil Emperor’s Devil Pill from Emperor Zhou.
That’s what Cheng Guang thought.
But he didn’t hold out much hope.
Devil Pills from ordinary Devil Clan members were numerous just within North City, easily obtainable by Cheng Guang if he wished.
However, Devil Pills from members of the Eighth Rank and above were gradually becoming rare.
Devil Pills from Ninth-Rank Devil Clan members were even more elusive.
One could imagine then how precious a Devil Emperor’s Devil Pill would be.
Even if Cheng Guang desired one, it was unlikely that Emperor Zhou would give him the White Tiger Devil Emperor’s Devil Pill.
"It’s no big deal if I don’t get a Devil Emperor Devil Pill. I’ll ask Duke Zhen Guo later to see if I could get one or two Devil Pills from Ninth-Rank Devil Clan members. If I can get to the Ninth Grade, even if I can only inherit 30% of their cultivation, I reckon I would still hold the strength of the Eighth-Rank King Realm in martial cultivation."
