It has to be said that body transparency is indeed an extremely convenient attribute for research.
Going back a long way, according to legend, the reason why Shennong was able to accomplish the feat of tasting hundreds of herbs was because his belly was transparent, so he could directly see how the food he ate changed.
To take a closer look, the reason why zebrafish have become the darling of the field of life science research is that, in addition to its advantages such as short breeding cycle and rapid growth and development, its entire body is transparent during the embryonic stage. In genetic research, with just a little manipulation, the macroscopic manifestations of specific gene changes can be intuitively seen, which is also an important factor.
In short, transparency is a good thing!
The large number of Transparent World series works produced by the people of the island nation every year is the best proof!
"Tianpeng, I leave it to you."
"No problem, leave it to me! Let's go from weak to strong, how about a bite of Killian meat first?"
Tianpeng grabbed a piece of meat shaved from Killian's thigh and carefully brought it to Gu Shi's mouth.
Gu Shi, who had turned into glass, was indeed a little fragile. If he moved a little more, his body structures might be squeezed and break into pieces. In order to avoid unnecessary harm, Tianpeng considerately put the food to Gu Shi's mouth.
Gu Shi cooperated by opening his mouth and swallowing the fresh piece of meat, then he and Tian Peng stared at their stomachs.
Under the gaze of everyone, after the food entered his body, the structure of the spiritual power flowing in Gu Shi's transparent abdomen immediately changed. Under the action of this special structure of spiritual power, the piece of flesh and blood was almost instantly decomposed, turning into slightly chaotic spiritual power, which was sent to all parts of the body by the continuously circulating spiritual power.
While remembering the changes in his body, Gu Shi asked Tianpeng who was standing in the air opposite him.
"How is it? Did you record the spiritual power structure just now?"
Tianpeng nodded excitedly.
"I've made a note of it. I didn't expect that just a slight change in the order of the spirit particles could give the spirit power such a strong ability to dissolve. If this structure is added to the barrier, the unaware Shinigami and Hollows will probably have a layer of their flesh digested immediately if they bump into it. It's not impossible that the weaker ones will be completely digested!"
Recently, in addition to refining pills, Tianpeng has been thinking about how to improve the barrier of the current base. At this time, he immediately thought of the application of special spiritual power structure in the barrier.
Gu Shi and Tian Peng had similar ideas, so he nodded slightly to show his approval.
"Okay, let's move on to the next one."
Tianpeng restrained his enthusiasm a little, took out a piece of "coke" from his pocket and put it to Gu Shi's mouth.
This is the original version of Tianpeng Pill. What everyone eats every day now is the iterative pure blue crystal version. Tianpeng himself has not made such inferior pills for some time.
However, considering that Gu Shi's current glass body is somewhat fragile, if he takes the latest version of Tianpeng Pill, the huge amount of spiritual power in the pill might be released instantly, which might shatter his body. Therefore, Tianpeng specially prepared this first edition of Tianpeng Pill.
Gu Shi lightly hooked his transparent tongue and sent the "coke" in Tianpeng's hand into his stomach. The special spiritual power used for digestion appeared again and instantly decomposed the "coke". All of a sudden, a spiritual power purer than ordinary Daxu was released and violently poured into Gu Shi's body.
Even though it was only the first edition of the Tianpeng Pill, the spiritual power it released caused several cracks on Gu Shi's glass body. Asido, who was well prepared, quickly put his hand on Gu Shi and used his half-baked Hui Dao to heal him.
Gu Shi didn't care about his injuries. He kept his head still and turned his eyes to look at Tianpeng.
"Tianpeng, did you see anything?"
Tianpeng nodded vigorously again, the excitement in his eyes even greater than before, and raised his hands to gesture at his face and chest.
"Just now, a small amount of spiritual power entered the area near the eye sockets of your mask! And a small amount of the spiritual power that was already in your body was also squeezed out from the void hole! These are all reactions that did not occur when you directly ate the flesh and blood of the Great Void just now!"
Although he was not surprised to hear this answer, Gu Shi couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that our previous speculation was correct. The pure spiritual power after eating the elixir is indeed different from eating meat directly. I will eat it again. This time, Tianpeng, you should pay attention to observe and see where the spiritual power that was squeezed out was originally and what its general structure is."
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Tianpeng was about to take out the Tianpeng Pill from his pocket again, Asido quickly spoke out to stop him, and Bai Ye quickly nodded to support Asido.
"That's right. Wait a little longer until Uncle Asido recovers from his injury! Intact glass is not easy to break, but cracked glass might fall apart at the slightest touch!"
What Bai said made sense. Tianpeng and Gu Shi restrained their impatience a little. After Asido used half-baked Huidao to heal the wounds, they swallowed the first edition of Tianpeng Pill again.
“…Strange, I can’t see the source of that spiritual power. After the spiritual power of Tianpeng Pill circulated in the body for a few times, it appeared naturally.”
Tianpeng frowned. She was not careless at all and stared at Gu Shi's body the whole time, but she didn't see anything valuable. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Gu Shi's mentality was better. He nodded calmly and put forward a guess.
"So, that spiritual power is probably squeezed out from my flesh and blood. Since my flesh and blood have become transparent, it is hard to see before it is squeezed out, right? What about the structure of spiritual power? Have you recorded it?"
Tianpeng shook his head again with some shame.
"No, the structure of that spiritual energy is very complex, and it dissipates immediately after leaving the body and contacting the air. There is no time to analyze it. I tried to collect it in a container but failed."
Gu Shi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly again.
"It doesn't matter. Let's skip this project and move on to the next one."
As he spoke, Gu Shi looked towards the empty hole in his chest. At the side, Tian Peng, who had regrouped, took out a fresh lock of cause and effect from his pocket and carefully put it into Gu Shi's empty hole.
Chapter 160 Dark Red and Cherish Life
Gu Shi was very sure that his virtual hole was definitely not normal. He had studied it more than once before, hoping to find out the secret of his virtual hole.
Unfortunately, I get nothing every time.
This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of making his body completely transparent, he might finally be able to find out the truth. Gu Shi was full of anticipation.
In Gu Shi's vision, the chain of cause and effect quickly began to dissolve itself after being placed into the void hole, turning into a somewhat turbid dark red spiritual power that flowed into the void hole.
Moreover, this spiritual power completely ignored Gu Shi’s own spiritual power circulation path and body structure, rose straight up, penetrated into Gu Shi’s head, and then merged into his mask.
During this time, Gu Shi had been trying to control this spiritual power. After years of training, his ability to control his spiritual power had improved significantly compared to before. When he was fully focused, he could even occasionally control a single spirit particle. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not affect this spiritual power at all.
"Again."
Without any hesitation, Gu Shi immediately gave the order, and Tianpeng cooperated tacitly and took out a new chain and stuffed it into his empty hole.
The same situation happened again. This time, Gu Shi did not try to control the spiritual power. Instead, he aimed at the path of the spiritual power and pierced his body with his sharp claws, digging out the flesh and blood that had turned into glass along with the spiritual power.
The rough treatment caused more than ten glaring cracks to appear on Gu Shi's chest, and those cracks were still spreading rapidly. It seemed that in a few seconds, his body would be split into two parts with the gap as the boundary.
Asido was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He desperately used Huidao to heal Gu Shi. Bai also jumped up quickly, and with the brute force he had trained, he forcibly held Gu Shi steady, as if he was about to break off the falling upper body.
Gu Shi's action was beyond the expectations of everyone present, and Tianpeng was a little panicked for a moment.
Asido's Hui Dao level is low, Bai can only barely maintain the status quo. The Tianpeng Pill that is usually used to heal injuries releases spiritual power too violently. If Gu Shi eats it now, he will probably die instantly.
and so……
After thinking for a few seconds, Tianpeng thought of a solution. She held her left hand with her right hand and pulled hard. With a sharp tearing sound, she tore off her left arm and stuffed it into Gu Shi's mouth without hesitation.
The release of spiritual power from flesh and blood is more gentle and puts less burden on Gu Shi's body. As long as there is an adequate supply of spiritual power, with Killian's vitality, the injuries on Gu Shi's body will quickly heal themselves.
Sure enough, as Tianpeng's arm was swallowed into the stomach, abundant pure spiritual power poured into the body. Even though Gu Shi's body had turned into glass, the wounds began to slowly heal.
Although it seemed to be much slower than the recovery of a flesh and blood body and it would take some time to fully recover, at least it was no longer getting worse.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tianpeng took out a few blue Tianpeng pills from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. The violent spiritual power was released, and in an instant the wound on her left arm spurted out a large amount of blood like a blown fire hydrant.
But the next second, with sufficient replenishment of spiritual energy, not even a drop of blood flowed out of the wound, and the pale flesh began to wriggle and regenerate rapidly.
Seeing that the situation had finally stabilized, Asido glared and was about to condemn Gu Shi's reckless behavior, but before he opened his mouth, Tianpeng, whose arm had not yet fully recovered, had already excitedly approached Gu Shi, staring at the piece of glass flesh in his claws, his eyes full of fanaticism.
"Master, you have caught that spiritual power! Take it out and let us see it!"
Asido's words got stuck in his throat, and for a moment he didn't know if it would be inappropriate to continue saying it.
Just now in the battle to rescue the soldier Gu Shi, he didn't play much of a role. The one who contributed the most was Tian Peng, and Tian Peng didn't intend to pursue the matter. For him, who didn't help at all, to come out and preach, wouldn't it seem a bit too self-righteous?
Asido had such concerns, but Bai did not. She didn't care about the question of whether it was appropriate or not. She only knew that Gu Shi almost died just now.
She jumped onto Gu Shi's nose, with tears still in her eyes. She stared at Gu Shi's eyes, which were particularly dazzling because of the sunlight shining through them. She did not hide her anger at all.
"Uncle Gu Shi! Aren't you going to apologize? I was so scared that my heart almost stopped beating!"
Gu Shi raised his eyebrows and shook off some glass shards.
"Calm down, the situation just now is not that serious. Even if it is really disconnected, I will not die. I just need to eat my lower body immediately."
Gu Shi still cherishes his life a little and would not risk his life for an experiment. He decides the location after careful calculation.
It is true that Erlang's martial arts needs to take some time to transform the body material, but that is only the case when the entire body is transformed.
The location of Killian's virtual hole was originally at the junction of the chest and abdomen. Gu Shi started from the upper part of the virtual hole. If it was really severed from there, if Gu Shi wanted to turn back into a flesh and blood body, the only parts he needed to recover would be his head and chest. It would not take much time to restore such a small area.
Once I'm back in flesh and blood, recovering from my injuries will only be a matter of eating more.
In fact, at the same time as he made the move, Gu Shi had already begun to change the material of his head, but Tianpeng's movements were so fast that they were beyond his imagination, making his preparations useless, so he stopped the conversion.
Although Gu Shi's explanation was not very detailed, Bai obviously understood what he meant. After thinking about it for a while, he soon calmed down.
The common sense in Bai Nao is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. In her opinion, who can be resurrected infinitely, since she is guaranteed to survive, there is nothing wrong with voluntarily seeking death.
In order to increase her immunity to death, she would actively seek death once or twice from time to time, and no longer regarded the "death" that she was sure to survive as "death".
Now, the only one present who couldn't let it go was Asido.
The tongue-tied Asido suddenly became a minority. He knew that he could not win the argument against Gu Shi by himself, and he lost interest in continuing to dwell on the matter. When Gu Shi thanked him, he nodded calmly, then looked away again and stopped talking.
Tianpeng had been suppressing his excitement, and only after Gu Shi had comforted the two of them did he feel uneasy and start urging them again.
"Master, let me see it!"
Gu Shi was also very excited, so he opened his claws and revealed the piece of transparent glass flesh.
Inside it, the dark red turbid spiritual power was flying around like a headless fly, but it had no intention of coming out of the flesh and blood, as if it had been completely trapped.
Gu Shi raised the corner of his mouth, and lightly scratched the glass with his claws, cutting off a piece of debris the size of an ordinary person's fist, and at the same time cutting off a small part of the dark red spiritual power.
After looking at Tianpeng, Gu Shi grinned, exerted a little force with his fingertips, and crushed the debris into slag.
Suddenly, the faint dark red spiritual power was exposed in the air.
The next moment, the sky suddenly became dark without any warning, and a heavy pressure appeared out of nowhere, as if breathing had become a burden.
Chapter 161: Gate of Hell
What the hell, isn't this the spiritual power converted by the Causal Lock? How could it cause such a big commotion?
Gu Shi looked up at the sky that was suddenly covered with dark clouds and almost thought that he had violated some heavenly law.
Just as Gu Shi was secretly wondering what had happened, a strange, murmuring sound like a hymn rang out from nowhere.
This song clearly gives people an inexplicable sense of sacredness, but it cannot make people feel even the slightest bit of peace of mind or reliance. Instead, it gives people a feeling of impending disaster.
"Then, what is that?"
Tianpeng cried out in surprise, and she stared blankly at the sky, as if she had seen something incredible. Following her line of sight, Gu Shi's eyes suddenly widened, and he and Asido shouted out the name in unison.
Kang "Gate of Hell!"
