Xiao Jie hurriedly opened the character panel.
[System Prompt: Race transformation in progress, current progress 64%.]
Oh no, why is the race transforming all of a sudden? It seems I’m not turning into a member of the Demon Race, but rather a demon! If I transform, wouldn’t I become a monster in real life?
And how could I achieve Cheng Xian after becoming a demon?
I must stop all this from happening.
Right, the three volumes of the Heavenly Book!
Xiao Jie hurriedly opened the skill list and pulled out the three knowledge-based skills that he hadn’t used for a long time.
[Qilin Righteous Qi] [Phoenix Heart] [Divine Dragon Hao Ran Scripture].
These three skills were comprehended when cultivating the three volumes of the Heavenly Book. They are used to resolve the remnants of demonic spirits within the heart. Both demonic spirits and demons belong to the same category of demons, so they should work as well.
The first skill Xiao Jie clicked on was indeed the Divine Dragon Hao Ran Scripture. He needs to revert his appearance back first.
A shadow god map of the Divine Dragon appeared before him, with many meridian markings and textual explanations beside it.
[The Divine Dragon: Ancestor of ten thousand scales, capable of great or small, rising or hiding; great can conjure clouds and mist, small can conceal form; rising can fly in the universe, hiding can lurk within waves. With spirited transformations, the soul resembles its form, the dragon’s will, it is not bodily strength... ]
Xiao Jie didn’t look much at it and directly clicked on the Spiritual Meridian Map to start cultivating. Familiar with the process, he quickly completed a circulation cycle.
As Xiao Jie cultivated, the huge body of the Jiao Long began to gradually shrink, reverting back to human form, and the scales on his body also gradually faded.
[System Prompt: Race transformation in progress, current progress 43%.]
It does work! Xiao Jie’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly opened the Phoenix Heart Intent Scripture.
Continuing to run the Heavenly Book.
The wings on his back began to gradually retract and disappear, and the feathers on his body also vanished.
[System Prompt: Race transformation in progress, current progress 28%.]
Next up is the Qilin Righteous Qi Scripture.
Soon, even the horns and wolf claws disappeared.
The progress of race transformation dropped to 13% as well.
Xiao Jie didn’t dare to relax, and cycled through the three volumes of scriptures once more.
Only when the race transformation progress returned to zero did Xiao Jie breathe a sigh of relief.
System Prompt: Race transformation failed.
System Prompt: Due to unknown reasons, your profession talent [Demon Spirit Hundred Forms (Legendary)] has evolved to [Demon Spirit Myriad Forms (Mythical)].
What, a mythical talent? Xiao Jie was both shocked and delighted. He hurriedly opened the attribute panel to check, and sure enough, the profession talent of Demon Spirit Hundred Forms had turned into Demon Spirit Myriad Forms.
[Talent 3: Demon Spirit Myriad Forms (Mythical Talent/Linked Talent). You have absorbed many remnants of demonic spirits and cultivated the three volumes of the Heavenly Book. Various demon powers have achieved perfect fusion within you. However, as your body underwent intense transformation due to the catalysis and modification by the power of the Demon Star, your body underwent an inexplicable change despite you using the power of the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to forcibly suppress it.
As a result, you have been endowed with the mythical talent of Demon Spirit Myriad Forms, a power that exists only in mythical stories, allowing you to learn and use all innate techniques of the Demon Race without any racial restrictions.
When using transformation skills, your casting actions are changed to instantaneous.
When using innate demon techniques or Demon Race-exclusives, your body will automatically transform to generate the corresponding limbs, organs, or features to perfectly execute the skill... ]
Xiao Jie read the talent description several times, gradually understanding the specific effects.
Nevertheless, he wasn’t fully confident and felt he had to give it a try.
Combat Skill - Wild Goat Charge!
Xiao Jie suddenly charged forward, and in that instant, a pair of goat horns grew from the top of his head. Once the combat skill was completed, the goat horns disappeared immediately.
Combat Skill - Fierce Kick!
His right leg suddenly turned into a giant hoof, which struck backward with force, bang! A dent was formed on the wall from the impact.
Combat Skill - Jiao Claw Fierce Strike!
One arm instantly morphed into a huge Jiao Long claw, with which he struck down.
BAM! The ground bore several claw-marks left by the Jiao Claw.
Haha, awesome! Xiao Jie marveled at the sight. The instant transformation was quite cool and very convenient. Many previously useless skills could now finally be utilized.
While understanding these skills could be used was one thing, could that one skill also be used?
Xiao Jie, somewhat disbelieving, clicked on a skill that under normal circumstances would be unusable until transformed. However—
Combat Skill - Jiao Long Strangling Skill!
With a click, his body elongated in the next second, wrapping and constricting like a snake. He moved as fluidly as rubber, but having no target, missed the strike and retracted immediately.
Good heavens, it really works!
Xiao Jie was both astonished and overjoyed. This is like becoming a Transformer.
Though the visual style is a bit odd.
Alright, at least he looks human on a normal basis.
Xiao Jie felt a sense of wonder; this truly was like an incredible encounter.
