337. Human Body Modification Weapon, Chrysanthemum Douluo's Shocking Transformation [Major Chapter]_2

"In terms of damage, it's determined by the influence of the original object. The greater the influence of the original object, the higher the damage will be after it's magically modified into a weapon."

Lin Yi continued, based on the description within the System:

"According to this logic, weapons modified from living objects would cause higher damage than those modified from non-living objects because living entities generally have a greater influence on the continent than non-lifeforms. For example, a weapon modified from an ant would certainly be stronger than one modified from a rock."

"And a weapon modified from a human would be superior to an ant's, which is the difference in influence."

Hearing this description, everyone's facial expressions became exceedingly animated.

For the first time, they felt a sense of superiority simply from being human.

After Lin Yi spoke, he flicked the Golden Light Sphere into Bi Bidong's body.

It was her first time merging with a Golden Reward, and for some reason, whether psychological or otherwise, Bi Bidong felt that the sensation the reward brought inside her body was distinctly different from that of a Red Reward.

The Golden Reward seemed warm, comfortable, fulfilling—it felt as if it could fill her body to the brim.

"Senior, may I give it a try?"

Bi Bidong asked tentatively.

"Of course, you can try with anything, whether it's a living entity or a non-lifeform."

With Lin Yi's permission, Bi Bidong first looked towards a fist-sized rock on the ground below.

She picked up the rock and weighed it in her palm.

An unremarkable rock with an almost negligible influence on the continent, it usually went unnoticed unless it tripped someone—oh no, it could also be used to hit someone.

Bi Bidong, channeling the newly merged Golden Junior Reward inside her, held the rock in her palm, which began to emit light, and the rock gradually underwent a change.

Curiosity got the better of everyone as they moved in closer. What kind of weapon could a rock turn into?

The rock's transformation wasn't significant; its surface just became slightly shinier, as if it had just undergone a minor plastic surgery-like tweaking in Bi Bidong's hands.

But Bi Bidong was well aware of what weapon the rock in her hand had transformed into.

"Make way!"

She shouted towards a group of people in a certain direction.

The onlookers standing there, confused, suddenly widened their eyes. They exchanged glances and, without a second thought, hurriedly ran to either side.

If it was a weapon, then it must be capable of inflicting damage!

Suddenly, Bi Bidong threw the rock in that direction. As it hit the ground, it lit up with fire, and then the entire rock exploded rapidly, blasting out a hole in the ground one meter in diameter and half a meter deep!

The crowd watched agape.

And Lin Yi raised an eyebrow... had she magically modified the rock into a bomb?

This type of modification didn't strike anyone as particularly odd.

The explosive effect was quite impressive, even Bi Bidong was stunned for a moment, looking quite badass.

Now thoroughly intrigued, with clear joy visible in her eyes, she looked around again and then set her gaze on the Blue Silver Grass by the roadside.

She squatted down, touching the slender blue leaves of the Blue Silver Grass.

In that moment, the thin leaves of the Blue Silver Grass suddenly stopped swaying in the wind and tightened up, their edges shimmering with a metallic, blade-like sheen.

Bi Bidong picked a leaf, her eyes sharpened, and threw it.

"Swoosh!"

Thousand Waves, who was standing by the stand, quickly caught it. The inside of his fingers was actually sliced by the sharp edges of the Blue Silver Grass leaf, leaving two bloody cuts.

A blade of grass had turned into a hidden weapon!

Of course, this effect seemed far less significant than that of the stone just now.

And Bi Bidong internally rationalized that the influence of Blue Silver Grass was less than that of the rock—after all, a blade of grass didn't play as significant a role in daily life as a stone did.

The next moment, Bi Bidong turned her gaze towards "life forms"...

She wanted to see how a living entity could be magically modified into a weapon.

"Senior, if I were to magically modify a person into a weapon, could they be changed back?"

Bi Bidong inquired.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, "Of course, at any time. This too falls within the scope of your abilities. The flexibility of the Golden Junior Reward is indeed greater than that of the Red or Black Rewards."

Relieved by Lin Yi's words, Bi Bidong felt reassured.

She glanced towards the Martial Soul Hall and called out without a second thought, "Yue Guan, get up here!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's muscular body trembled.

Swallowing his saliva, he immediately refused, "I don't want to be turned into a weapon."

"Three!"

"Alright, coming right away!"

What Chrysanthemum Douluo feared most was Bi Bidong's "death countdown."

Standing next to Bi Bidong on the stage, Chrysanthemum Douluo wore a face of utter despair.

He could already imagine the despair he'd feel later when he became some weirdly shaped thing, hoping only that his attack power would be strong, as it related to the influence of his original self... Chrysanthemum Douluo thought desperately in his heart.

Why! Why was it always him getting hurt!

Just then, Bi Bidong placed her hand on Chrysanthemum Douluo's shoulder, causing him to tremble violently and break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"Your... Your Excellency, please be gentle~"

"How about this, I'll just try turning one of your body parts into a weapon, to avoid leaving you with psychological trauma. After all, the weapon's power still depends on your own influence," Bi Bidong explained, her mind now filled with more detailed information after the fusion with the reward.

But as she sized up the tall and burly Chrysanthemum Douluo, she became conflicted, "Which part of you should I turn into a weapon?"

"When unsure which part to choose, this ability seems to automatically select the most suitable body part to be turned into a weapon and transforms it. How about we give that a try?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo panicked, "Your Excellency... Is, is that reliable?!"

"Don't you want to know which part of your body is most suitable to be a weapon?"

"Well, I'm a little curious... Eh, eh?! It's starting already?!"

While Chrysanthemum Douluo was still pondering, he noticed Bi Bidong had already placed her hand on his shoulder, her palm lighting up immediately.

A moment later, Bi Bidong finished the operation, stepping back to watch Chrysanthemum Douluo's transformation with curiosity and anticipation.

However, to everyone's surprise, there didn't seem to be any change in Chrysanthemum Douluo... Wait a minute!

Bi Bidong suddenly widened her eyes, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo's crotch.

First, there was the sound of gears turning, then the clashing of mechanics, and a thin cannon barrel gradually rose within Chrysanthemum Douluo's pants, angling upwards at about forty-five degrees, with the muzzle pointing straight ahead.

Bi Bidong was stunned.

Her eye muscles twitched, disbelievingly staring at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Your Excellency!! What... What the hell is this?! Has the random selection gone wrong?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo screamed in despair.

Yet Bi Bidong shook her head with a serious expression, "I'm very curious about your damage output. Attack an empty piece of ground; let me see where your influence and this part's uniqueness really lie!"

"Ah?!"

"I said attack!"

The expressions of the women present all turned awkward.

Whereas the men seemed to be reveling in the spectacle, cheering excitedly, with the Ghost Douluo and others shouting unabashedly, "Boy, today you've truly made a statement as a real man!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that after today, he might have to completely retire from the stage of attack... He had to go live somewhere no one knew him!

"Attack!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo yelled out, glaring at the distant open ground.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion resounded, and everyone saw flames shooting from beneath Chrysanthemum Douluo. The next moment, a small mushroom cloud appeared on a distant empty ground.

The earth cracked, a deep pit emerged, and cracks even spread outwards.

A giant crater over fifteen meters in diameter and more than five meters deep had formed.

All were shocked, staring agape at the scene, speechless.

The size of the crater was almost comparable to a small meteorite impact site.

Back on the stands, Chrysanthemum Douluo's pants had completely burst into pieces. To the astonishment of all, Chrysanthemum Douluo's entire lower half had turned into metal!

On his legs, gears rotated inside, various intricate parts completely replacing the original flesh, with his buttocks now emitting wisp after wisp of white smoke, and the front cannon barrel scorched red.

ps. Thank you for the continued support.
