"How far has your strength recovered after assimilating your upper body?" Zhang Xuan asked as he watched Vicious recovering more and more as he absorbed the energy from the Stone of Divine Crusade.

Vicious had recovered a great deal by assimilating his finger, head, and eyes. Considering how huge his entire upper body was, he should be able to raise his cultivation significantly by assimilating it as well.

"Master, my strength is currently equivalent to a newly ascended Ancient Sage!" Vicious replied.

"Ancient Sage?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.

He had been wondering if Vicious' fighting prowess would be raised to Ancient Sage after assimilating the upper body, and that was indeed the case!

Even if Vicious only wielded strength comparable to a new Ancient Sage, given his previous fighting experience, the chances were that he would be far stronger than the Ancient Sage Otherworldly Demon corpse that he had forged.
