Chapter 471: Chapter 263: Secret Chamber, Imprisonment, Feminization!
Squeak.
The doorframe creaked with a grating sound as the door opened, revealing a pitch-black space behind.
Like mist spreading, it instantly swallowed Qin Shi.
By the time he realized it, he had already stepped through the door.
"Is this the mother nest of the Human-faced Spider?"
Qin Shi’s mind was highly focused, his sea of consciousness closely merged with his mortal body, ready at any moment to unleash a fifteenfold amplification of his domain characteristics.
Where his gaze reached, a vast expanse of crystal luminescence spread out, like gentle ripples of water filling the world beyond the door.
As his field of vision widened, he saw a small child curled up.
The child was about 1.2 meters tall, with exquisite and flawless features, like a porcelain doll, possessing a slightly androgynous aura.
The child seemed to be asleep, but Qin Shi’s arrival startled it awake.
Then, a pair of extremely cold eyes opened.
"Food, delicious food."
The child stood up, calmly looking at Qin Shi.
It had almost no features of the Human-faced Spider, indistinguishable from a human, except for a deep purple rhombus mark on its forehead.
Qin Shi felt the gaze from the other, his body slightly froze.
He could distinctly perceive the change, his mortal body shackled, his life force forged into a solid mass, unable to circulate.
"I’ve been sealed?"
Qin Shi was surprised.
This experience of losing all his powers was something he was tasting for the first time.
He tried to activate the Cultivation Furnace, Warfare Strategy, Void Meditation Technique... but received no response.
In the world beyond the door, life force fluctuations were suppressed to the minimum, almost zero.
"No need to struggle. This is an absolute forbidden zone for the strong, even if you’ve reached Specialized Level First Rank, and completed nine evolutions.
As long as you haven’t broken through the fourth energy level, coming here will strip you of all life force and spiritual telekinesis, turning you into an ordinary person."
The child’s voice was very naive, yet contained immense authority.
"Then how are you going to eat me? I don’t sense any extraordinary abilities from you either."
Qin Shi asked curiously.
Ever since entering this door, the fusion speed of the Monument Panel had greatly accelerated.
He estimated that in about two minutes, he would be done.
"Stupid human!"
The child’s eyes were disdainful.
"I am the ’King’ of the Human-faced Spider clan. Even though my powers have also been stripped away, the physical boosts from multiple evolutions of my follower organism remain unchanged.
I can tear you apart with one hand. If you don’t want to die painfully, end yourself, and I will savor your warm heart."
Qin Shi’s mouth twitched, this ’King’ of the Human-faced Spider seemed like its mental evolution hadn’t kept pace with its growth rate.
However, he quickly caught key information from its words.
"So, the numerical value of the organism itself can’t be stripped away... well, I’m sorry."
Qin Shi cracked his knuckles, a slight smile appeared.
He was eager to try, the Numerical Monster built from Old Martial Sect surpassing the five limits, against a multiply evolved follower organism.
Which one was stronger!
"You actually plan to fight me?"
The child’s androgynous, exquisite face showed a trace of coldness.
"It seems you really don’t understand the gap between humans and follower organisms! Although your growth speed is quite terrifying, individual potential is not worth mentioning."
Bam bam bam!
The half-grown child clenched its fists, terrifying wind pressure roared like thunder, directly tearing through space, closing in on Qin Shi!
This aggressive stance, purely executed with the physical body, not to mention "ordinary people" who’ve been stripped of all life force, even a Specialized Level can’t withstand!
"Worthy of being the ’King’ among follower organisms."
Qin Shi took a deep breath and swung a punch in return.
If the child’s attack was like a bulldozer running at full power.
Then he was like a hundred-ton king advancing at full speed!
Rumble——
The wind pressure cascaded like a waterfall, rivers reversed course, and surged back towards the child!
"You..."
The child was stunned, and then its face rippled like water, being vigorously distorted.
Even though it crossed its hands to block in front, it was still forced to retreat step by step!
"I never thought I’d punch Nanshan Kindergarten one day."
Qin Shi strode forward, down to the child, looking down at this ’King’ of the Human-faced Spider clan.
Worrying half a day long, unexpectedly, the world beyond the door was his home turf.
He raised his hand and swung it, a fierce blow struck out suddenly!
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed!
The arrogant child with eyes above their head stared wide-eyed, their little face quickly imprinting the marks of five fingers.
"You!"
"Feels good, let’s do it again."
Qin Shi switched to the other hand and delivered another strong slap.
Slapping left and right, the child was left dumbfounded, their brain completely frozen.
No matter what, it never expected this human’s flesh and blood body to be refined like a Divine Machine, indestructible!
This is simply impossible!
"You’re only Specialized Level, not very evolved, how could you possibly stand against me, the Emperor!"
The child raised its head, utterly ignoring its swollen cheeks, questioning in disbelief.
"I am a genius,"
Qin Shi replied perfunctorily.
He was searching for the root of the Monument Panel’s fusion evolution.
Scanning around quickly, he locked onto the target.
It was exactly where the child had curled up, peacefully sleeping moments ago.
There lay a "crystal" nearly two meters long.
It was like a bed, for resting.
"Similar to the Divine Crystal bestowed by the Tai Monarch, but the purity is way off.
Like unrefined raw stone compared to processed jade, completely different."
Qin Shi pushed the child aside with a flick to their forehead, sending them flying several meters away.
Then, he sat atop the long crystal.
Crack, crack!
The Monument Panel instantly shed impurities like a metal block melting under high temperatures.
In mere seconds, the fusion was complete!
A brand new panel appeared before his eyes.
The pixelated creature representing growth progress seemed to evolve.
The round-headed, pointy-eared, pink fluffy ball grew an entire size larger.
Its shiny black eyes seemed more spirited, conveying emotions.
Most importantly, the progress bar representing "infant form" leapt forward significantly.
[Unlock?]
[Adaptive Body?]
These two lines appeared on the Monument Panel.
[Adaptive Body] is a skill unlocked by the exclusive achievement [Life Magnetic Field].
Qin Shi did not immediately accept, being in a state of anomaly.
He continued observing the changes in the Monument, where formerly activated Basic Level achievements were shattered and reassembled into higher-level milestones.
"Not a bad harvest, definitely worth the trip. Big red resources, truly invaluable!"
Qin Shi’s gaze gradually steadied, digesting the fusion of achievements in the Monument Panel this time.
"What did you do to my tribe’s sacred relic?"
A tender voice interlaced with softness interrupted Qin Shi’s wandering thoughts.
The long crystal beneath him lost its luster in mere seconds.
From transparent and glossy to pale and dim.
Clearly, its energy had been drained dry.
"Your tribe’s sacred relic? There’s no name of your tribe written on it."
Qin Shi’s lips curled into a smile as he looked at the child, suddenly startled.
The originally androgynous delicate face began to become feminized.
Cheeks pink, eyes black, even the voice soft and thin.
"What kind of mischief is the [True Dragon] big shot up to!"
Qin Shi then realized the emblem symbolizing the Four Pillars, the mark of [True Dragon], had been lit.
Soon, streams of information flowed, surfacing in his heart.
[Basic Achievement - Dragon Breath]
[Description: Bountiful growth, fosters all life. Fate favors every Bloodline User, granting them the authority of endless life, eternal existence.]
[Trait: Hidden impurities in the Star Sea, you wield the Holy Grail to save all beings, attaining extraordinary flesh vitality and excessively strong reproductive instinct, which may feminize most non-mythical life forms when facing you.]
The panel then updated.
[Basic Achievement - Dragon Breath]
[Upgrade Obtained]
[Intermediate Achievement - Dragon Might]
[Unlocked!]
Qin Shi felt his forehead throb, glancing at the "Emperor" of the human-faced spider, he couldn’t help but curse:
"Dongxia is not a place beyond the law! Doesn’t the [True Dragon] big shot know that refining copper is a grave sin?"
He merely bullied a child, demonstrating what it means to "punch the Nanshan Kindergarten," yet somehow ended up feminizing the opponent?
