Chapter 785 Demon Bone Strengthening
"Take it!"

Zhou Nanwang casually threw something over.

This object is about the size of a palm, and is made of neither gold nor jade. It looks light, but you will realize how heavy it is when you hold it in your hand.

Zhou You didn't take it seriously at first and stretched out a hand to catch it. Unexpectedly, as soon as it touched his palm, an infinite force fell downwards, pressing the bow of the boat under his feet into the river, picking up hundreds of meters of waves.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and used his strength to offset the object's incredible weight, thus averting the capsize accident.

"what is this?"

Zhou You had never seen such a strange thing before. It was so dense that a small piece was as heavy as a mountain.

"Demon bones. I just killed the river monster and dug them out from its body."

Zhou Nanwang flicked his sleeves and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small gadget that can be polished into a magic weapon. It's not very efficient, or... feed it to the wolf cub in your personal guard."

Demon bone, this is the treasure in the demon's body, isn't it similar to charm bone?

Well, according to what Zhou Nanwang said, the functions of this thing are more diverse.

After Zhou You got the monster, the panel immediately gave a prompt, "Three major directions for strengthening."

"First, the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm is the best match for monsters. If implanted into the body, it can be used to train a special move called 'Water Dragon Chant', but there is a risk of transformation into a monster."

"Second, polish it into a magical weapon with a function called 'water escape'. The specific function is that in the future, when fighting underwater, the weapon will not be hindered, but will have the function of accelerating."

Ok?
Zhou You fell into deep thought. Demonization was too dangerous, and the water warfare magic weapon was not urgently needed.

As for the third one...

"Third, we found that the demon bone resonates more with Mao Lang's bloodline and can be integrated into Mao Lang's body, with a high probability of transformation."

As for what kind of transformation it is, it is impossible to give a definite answer because the panel sample is too small and the amount of information is seriously insufficient.

Zhou You's interest in Mao Lang stems from Zhou Nanwang's review... Demonic Bones.

This child, in the words of Grandmaster Zhou, is a hidden genius who is comparable to the "Ninja Demon" military advisor.

Moreover, compared to the first two confirmed benefits, Zhou You is more interested in seeing the direction of Mao Lang's evolution after the transformation.

"Mao Lang, come here!"

Mao Lang was squatting in a corner of the boat, staring down at the turbid river water, as if he could see through the water layer and discover a ferocious fish lurking.

Hearing Zhou You's call, he suddenly bent his body and rushed to Zhou You like lightning.

"What is it, my Lord?"

Zhou You spread out his palm and showed him the demon bone, "This is for you."

"Ok?"

When Mao Lang first saw the demon bone, his first reaction was that he didn't recognize it, but then a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He snatched the monster bone and held it to his chest. The sharp edge cut his flesh, and as soon as blood oozed out of the wound, something strange happened. After the monster bone was stained with blood, it quickly "squeezed" into Mao Lang's body along the wound.

Such a large object was forced into Mao Lang's body, but there was no discomfort or pain on his face. Instead, he felt very refreshed.

"How does it feel?"

Mao Lang thought about it. "Very full!"

The next moment, a palm shadow as big as a mountain fell from above his head, covering Mao Lang's entire body.

Zhou Nanwang took action around him.

He saw a faint light coming out of his palm, warm and round, it was the 'Liuli Shouguang Fist' that Zhou You was familiar with, but it was not a defense, but it enveloped Mao Lang's entire body, leaving no flaws. ...

The scene that followed made Zhou You realize how big the commotion was.

Mao Lang suddenly fell on the deck, as if he could not bear the weight. The changes brought about by the monster were too abrupt.

When he looked up, he saw bulges and bumps on his face, shoulders and spine. It was obvious that his bones were undergoing a violent change that was almost boiling, tearing his skin and swelling his tendons several times.

Such intense pain is hard for ordinary people to endure and they might die on the spot.

Large balls of blood mist continued to burst out from Mao Lang's body, crackling and exploding when they came into contact with the light shield, with extremely terrifying power.

If it weren't for Zhou Nanwang's light shield defense, the huge ship under his feet would have been unable to withstand it and would have been destroyed into a large piece of broken wood.

Zhou You watched Mao Lang struggling in pain, but an expression of pleasure and enjoyment appeared on his face. His limbs were sometimes stretched and sometimes twisted, and his back was arched like a mountain. His trembling contained an astonishing power that gradually increased.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly have a deeper understanding of monsters. Perhaps, the essence of monsters is a further step of animality.

After an unknown amount of time, the changes in Mao Lang's body came to an end. His skin, flesh, and bones returned to normal. Mao Lang became a size larger than before, from thin to burly.

He raised his head suddenly, and his brow bones became extremely prominent. This was the change after he merged into the demon bone.

Zhou Nanwang removed the light shield and ordered him, "Let your master test his strength."

What!
Zhou You observed Mao Lang's transformation and did not achieve a breakthrough, so he remained at the level of a high-level martial artist.

And his overall strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage strong warrior. If he lets Mao Lang attack him, wouldn't that be like hitting a rock with an egg?
Mao Lang bowed and clasped his fists, then rushed forward without saying a word, and a wave of air rose from the ground.

The next moment, he clasped his hands together and made a fist, hitting Zhou You's palm. It was Wan Xiushan's way of turning the stick into a fist.

Use the feet to exert force through the spine, and use the swinging of the arms to exert force. This is Wan Xiushan's stick technique.

However, no matter how sophisticated the boxing skills are, it is difficult to make up for the huge gap in realm.

Zhou You raised his hand slightly to block his attack, and suddenly his metacarpal bones vibrated, and a sour and numb feeling like a drill pierced into his arm and reached his shoulder. The destructive power of Mao Lang's transformation could actually threaten his defense at this level.

If he was just an ordinary warrior, it would be fine, but the key is that Zhou You has the Nine Cauldrons Golden Body, and his defense is far beyond that of the same level.

"This is……"

Zhou You took the situation seriously, a faint light appeared, and he used the Liuli Shouguang Fist to send Mao Lang flying.

He turned to Zhou Nanwang, his eyes full of questions, "What is this?"

"Having a demon bone is a sign of great potential. Once transformed into a demon, one will be reborn and possess power comparable to that of a powerful warrior."

Zhou Nanwang commented, "The demon bone you gave him is a catalyst that activated the potential in his body. Now this wolf cub can be used."

At first, Mao Lang found it difficult to adapt to such a huge change in strength and broke many things on the ship.

Zhou Nanwang was annoyed by his noise, so he simply threw him into the river, letting Mao Lang swim after him to vent his energy.

The medicinal demon bones that Mao Lang fused came from a river demon, and his water ability was also enhanced. He did not need to breathe even if he dived underwater for most of the day, and his speed in the water was several minutes faster than a large ship.

He was happy and free, galloping back and forth along the river, and from time to time he would fish out old turtles as big as square tables, river clams as big as millstones, and even giant shrimps as big as calves from the bottom of the water.

By venting his energy day by day and integrating the transformation brought about by the demon bones, his realm has become infinitely close to that of a powerful warrior, with only the last layer of barrier between him and a powerful warrior. His comprehensive strength is comparable to that of the first and second levels of a powerful warrior.

Zhu Ruoxuan noticed these changes and thought that Zhou You's personal guards were truly full of talents, with a master behind them helping to build the team. Even if he was still in the Beixuan Zhu family, he couldn't have such a luxurious lineup of personal guards.

Monsters were wreaking havoc in several states in the southeast, and many people were helpless. But when they came to Zhou You, they turned waste into treasure, strengthened their personal guards, and eliminated all hidden dangers.
