Chapter 3125 Tacit Understanding

Staring at the black area on his back, Zen frowned.

If it was only attached to his back, he would be fine with it.

But that wasn't the case. Judging from the situation, the black area was spreading. Sooner or later, his whole body would be covered. Zen's frown deepened. If his whole body was covered in black, he would look weird and ugly!

Zen gingerly poked the black area. It felt rough and hard to the touch, like stone.

After some thought, he directed his power at the black skin.

The muscles on his back bulged. He squeezed his eyes shut as he tried to will the Shade Stone out of his body.

However, no matter how hard he tried, each time he opened his eyes to check, the black area hadn't budged at all. It seemed that it had completely integrated into his body, becoming a part of him.

After trying other methods, he threw his hands up in resignation.

"No. 9527, what should I do with it?" Zen asked.

It was completely an accident that the Shade Stone had been sucked into his body.

Now, Zen had no way to take it out.

"I don't know either," No. 9527 answered disinterestedly. "Generally, the Shade Stone is used to refine weapons, and it could be considered a premium Other Shore Treasure. It's capable of completely merging with an Other Shore Token, but I didn't know it could merge with your body."

The reason why the Other Shore Treasure was superior to the Profound Blood Treasure was that it had merged with the Other Shore Token.

The more powerful the Other Shore Token was, the better materials it would require to refine weapons.

If a Profound Blood Treasure were to merge with an Other Shore Token, it would collapse during the process. The Profound Blood Treasure itself couldn't merge with the Other Shore Token.

Primary Other Shore Treasures could merge with the Other Shore Tokens of Stages One to Ten, the intermediate Other Shore Treasures could merge with tokens of Stages Eleven to Twenty, and the premium ones merged with tokens of Stages Twenty-one to Thirty.

But No. 9527 and Gant had failed to mention something.

Most of the premium Other Shore Treasures could only merge with the Other Shore Tokens of Stage Thirty at most, which was

I'm in trouble,"

Zen said helplessly.

But since that was the case, he had no choice but to keep burning.

As he was burning, Zen felt a strange sensation. He felt that the Shade Stone was completely integrating with him. It was as though he had an additional layer of skin that he could manipulate. There seemed to be an unspoken agreement between him and the black mark.

This sense of tacit understanding was very strange, as though he had grown another arm or a leg, not knowing where it came from. It felt the same as when he had three heads and six arms in the past. Although he was not used to this extra body part, it was there, and he could control it.

'Withdraw!'

Zen ordered silently.

The black thing immediately slipped somewhere deep within his body. His skin was fair again!

No. 9527 was surprised at what it had just witnessed. After a while, it murmured, "It seems that you have a strange ability."

Zen himself didn't seem surprised at all.

Along his journey, he had absorbed a lot of strange things. The Shade Stone just came by coincidence.

As he shook his body, it instantly emerged again, covering his whole body in blackness.

Then he got up and walked out of the jade cushion.

As though sensing his movement, a long sword that was hovering on the roof of the cave suddenly shot towards him.

However, Zen didn't even flinch. He just stretched out his arms, as though to greet the blade that was flying towards him.
