Aside from the issue of potentially not having enough spiritual herbs, Tang Luo had another hesitation.

Although growing stronger was a good thing, given this trend of height increase with each level, he feared he would transform into a humanoid monster after his body tempering.

If he were to grow seven or eight meters tall, this martial arts continent might seem as if it was invaded by titans, and these titans would be martial artists. How scary would that be!

“Such an absurdity,” Tang Luo mocked himself as he walked into the Spirit Garden. Because his clothes had burst from the transformation, he held the scroll in his hand.

It had to be admitted that the method chosen by wealthy families thousands of years ago to store scrolls with Golden Cicada’s silk indeed provide a certain superiority. Even with his current brute strength, it was not easy to tear these scrolls, making them suitable for preservation.

The next Spirit Array to be ignited was the ten symbols located in the abdomen, corresponding to the liver and gallbladder’s Wood Element.

“Metal generates water, water generates wood; there’s no issue!” Tang Luo read the scroll as he began to uproot the spiritual herbs and pile them in front of him.

Considering that the consumption for the next level could be thousands of spirit herbs, and collecting them on the spot would be inconvenient, he decided to pick and pile them in advance. If any healers were to see him harvesting such a vast amount of rare spiritual herbs, they might explode with rage.

Tang Luo piled thousands of spiritual herbs like a small mountain in front of him, then sat cross-legged and began to carve the third Spirit Array into his body.

When it came to carving Spirit Arrays, Tang Luo always felt very at ease. The sensation of controlling the Spiritual Energy with the aid of the Star Core was intoxicating. Similar to practicing Spirit Art, as long as theoretically, it could be used to control and change the release of Spirit Art, there isn’t even a need for him to practice.

The carving of the divine syllables was essentially the process of releasing a specific Spirit Art. For him, this presented no difficulty.

Ten silver fire-cloud divine syllables emerged in the middle of Tang Luo’s abdomen. As the silver glow exploded, he deftly opened his mouth wide, grabbed dozens of spiritual herbs, and shoved them into his mouth, chewing vigorously. The herbs gave off a variety of strange sweet tastes as they entered his esophagus, and the taste was surprisingly good.

The seventh level of the Undying Battle Body not only enhanced the practitioner’s strength but also unveiled its most significant feature. It began to grant the practitioner the power to match their level – Iron Arm and Copper Head.

The ancient mythical beast, Extended-Arm Divine Ape clan, had exceptional attacking power in their upper body and skull. In terms of hardness alone, their skulls could rank in the top ten of ancient demon beasts and were even more solid than their arms.

Therefore, during heated battles, the Demon King of the ancient Extended-Arm Divine Ape clan would ram their heads into their prey. Even when facing horned beasts like the dragons, they often won by headbutting. This hard-headedness was the primary characteristic of the ancient Extended-Arm Divine Ape, and naturally, the Undying Battle Body imitating their divine syllables would have corresponding enhancements. This feature manifested at the seventh level.

After reaching the seventh level of the Undying Battle Body, you no longer had to worry about arms being cut off or being knocked unconscious with a blow because both your arms and skull had become the strongest parts of your body. This was the benefit granted by the thirty divine syllables flowing within the body. But when it came to Tang Luo, there seemed to be a slight modification.

“Iron Arm and Copper Head?” Tang Luo looked at his skin, which now emitted a silvery-grey color, and wondered if what he was seeing was real. If it were the case, what did this spreading silver-grey color mean?

Even his erectile organ was silvery-grey now and this color was continuously spreading. Tang Luo pinched his face, and it was hard as wall algae. It appeared that Iron Arm and Copper Head had also evolved. In his case, it should now be called “Steel Body Unification”!

Tang Luo again stuffed a large number of spiritual herbs into his mouth, chewing vigorously. He found it hard to face his own body because he had evolved from a humanoid terminator plus to a liquid metal man plus. Fortunately, his body hadn’t grown any bigger – this was perhaps his only source of comfort.

He was in a happy mood, picking up spiritual herbs with his left hand and his right hand, shoving them into his mouth one after another. After going through this process twice, he already knew the sequence of the Undying Battle Body’s tempering.

The first thing to emerge was the increase in power and special effect at the current level of the Undying Battle Body. This was usually the first to occur, followed by the strengthening effect corresponding to the internal organ!

What was the strengthening effect of these ten syllables in the abdomen? Tang Luo carefully recalled that it should be “sturdy tendons and focused spirit”.

The gallbladder is the shelter of the spirit and soul. When the gallbladder is strong, the spirit is stable, and it is the nurturing field for the spirit and soul. The focused spirit implies a strong gallbladder. But what does “sturdy tendons” mean?

Tang Luo had a terrible premonition. His original vision was incredible. Just now, his eyes had undergone magical changes. If there had been a mirror in front of him, he would have seen a silver pupil growing on the outer side of his original brown pupils.

He had now become a double-pupilled individual. As the double pupils revolved, his eyes seemed hawk-like, able to see the distant flowers and trees clearly. His eyesight was already remarkable, but with the addition of the silver pupils, wherever his gaze fell, everything was seen in minute detail.

Almost at the moment, the silver pupils appeared, a wave of aching pain surged from all over his body, causing Tang Luo to fall stiffly to the ground; his facial features twisting like someone undergoing a brutal torture.

He felt every muscle in his body cramping!

His original tendons seemed to be stirring up a rebellion, wisps of them writhing under his skin. Veins were bulging on the surface of his body, and long marks had appeared on his steel-like muscles, creating the impression of a thread being tugged from within.

Any martial arts practitioner knew that an overly muscular body would result in the loss of flexibility and agility. This is because the length of the tendons could not be changed. The inflated muscles would stretch the tendons to their limit, making them tense. Some martial artists were so obsessed with absolute power that they ruptured their tendons, making it difficult to exert any force.

After the two-tier evolution of the Undying Battle Body, Tang Luo’s tendons had reached their limit. Why did his muscles not inflate further at the initial stage of the seventh level? It was because the tendons had been stretched to their limit. But the organ-strengthening effect at the center of the ten symbols precisely included the “sturdy tendon” effect. This made the tendons in his body, which had already reached their limit, start increasing their length again, causing his muscles to continue to inflate.

The aching sensation from the rapid muscle growth compounded with the painful feeling of muscle cramps was Tang Luo’s current experience. The tragic state of every muscle in his body succumbing to the painful convulsions whitened his consciousness, leaving only a giant “ache” cry ringing in his brain. What’s worse was that he didn’t even have the ability to howl in pain because his throat and tongue were also aching. He also felt his tongue, which seemed to be growing longer and seemed to be poking out!

Am I to become a snake spirit again, Tang Luo wondered in despair while enduring the overwhelming pain.

The thousands of herbs had already been consumed. Based on previous estimates, it should have been sufficient for physical evolution. However, due to the muscle bulk growth from tendon strengthening, the sensation of hunger was furiously attacking Tang Luo.

A thunderous growl from his stomach reminded Tang Luo of the signal indicating insufficient nutrients..
