Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 990 972. Implantation

After Felicia heard the conclusion of Lan En's experiment, her originally expectant and anxious expression suddenly relaxed.

After heaving a sigh of relief with his chest heaving, he clenched his fists and gave a small wave in celebration.

She is one of the few sorceress apprentices in the entire experimental project who has not yet left the school of Arethusa.

This first-hand internship experience alone has already accumulated a lot of qualifications for her future career as a sorceress.

Now even Philippa Earhart has publicly stated that she hopes that Philippa will choose her as a mentor when she graduates and goes out for internship.

The reputation of the Crystal Cultivation Project began with Lan En's participation in the Battle of Sodden Mountain. Before that, it was not widely spread, but only limited to a very small range among high-level people.

And when this project has a name, it will have tangible results and progress. Many people with outstanding vision saw the prospects of this project at the same time.

And start follow-up research, or simply dig people out.

For example, there were several wizards who originally joined the project under Tissaya's organization in the wizarding academy opened in Kaedwen, Ben Ad Academy.

Nowadays, the frequency of communication within the project is much less. It is foreseeable that these wizards have probably started another plan of their own in Ban Ade Academy.

They want to use crystal cultivation technology as a basis to advance in the direction they want to focus on.

Now the researchers who have been in the limelight in the crystal cultivation program have now more or less achieved a jump in status or property.

As an intern, Felicia naturally hopes that the research she has participated in will be as powerful as possible.

Relatively speaking, Tissaya has passed the stage of ‘chasing fame and fortune’.

Her status has basically been at the pinnacle of sorceresses, so of course she is not pursued very much.

At this time, she was looking at the small bundle of metal wires in Lan En's hand with some discomfort.

The messy tangle of metal lines was simply uncomfortable in her eyes.

But around Lan En, she still controlled her urge to forcefully put things in order.

"Is this what you want to create?"

Tisaya pursed her lips and spoke with a bit of stumbling. After all, it was difficult to suppress the urge to organize things.

"Same as before? A deliberately 'wrong' organ?"

Tissaya looked at Lan En with playful eyes.

Every time, Lan En would use the reason that "if the wrong organs that are deliberately distorted can be accurately manufactured, correct organs will not be a problem" to create some obviously abnormal organs.

And those organs tend to consume more magic power, more growth fluid, and longer culture times than ordinary organs.

Tissaya didn't understand why those organs were so difficult to cultivate, but she was not a fool after all.

After several attempts, she had confirmed that Lan En needed those 'wrong organs'.

Lan En didn't defend or deny, he just lowered his head and smiled at Tissaya.

Sure enough, the sorceress just shook her head casually and didn't ask too much.

Warlocks are a group of guys with their own secrets, and they also know that everyone has things they don't want to say.

If you don't want to have a tense relationship, it's best to curb your curiosity and desire for control.

Tissaya has already accomplished this in her long life.

After all, he is in charge of a sorceress academy. If his curiosity and desire for control are not enough, this academy will probably become dissolute and corrupt.

But if the curiosity and desire for control are too strong, it will be a matter of two things whether the students they cultivate are excellent alumni or powerful enemies.

"Philicia, let's go."

Not only did Tissaya express her understanding of Lan En, she was even very considerate and called out to the sorceress apprentice who was immersed in the joy of success.

"Experimental records and experimental processes need to be sorted and archived, as well as experimental consumables. They must be reported to the college's logistics department for a record. There are still many things to do, so get started."

"Ah, yes!"

The old dean was much more intimidating than the new dean. Felicia woke up from her joy almost immediately and walked out of the laboratory quickly.

Tissaya held the door handle and waited sideways. After Felicia had completely walked out, she slowly closed the door to the laboratory from the outside.

Lan En, who was motionless in the laboratory, was left with a look of unknown meaning.

"Perhaps it was the worry about your poor living environment in the past when you were still weak."

In Lan En's brain, the biochemical brain suddenly said this.

"It's troubling that I have such a favorable impression of a woman who would take care of you, sir."

Lan En curled his lips at Mentos's remarks. Don't listen to this guy's British butler accent now. In fact, he was just trying to tease him.

Lan En was completely unmoved by Mentos's teasing. Instead, he began to take off his shirt, opened his alchemical leather bag and took out something.

The steps of implanting the [Inner Steel] do not involve complex and delicate body structures, and the surgical difficulty is not at the same level as the [Song Gland] that needs to be installed in the brain.

Therefore, he does not need to spend time traveling to the ancient Greek world to find Cassandra to use the [Cross of Life].

You can take care of things yourself.

"If you want to chat, let's talk later, now."

The Valyrian steel dagger turned brilliantly in Lan En's hand, and the witcher's fingertips ran across the tip of the blade, feeling the sharpness.

"The operation begins."

"Surgical assist mode activated, sir. Please be safe."

——

By the time Lan En walked out of the laboratory again, his silver hair had returned to his shawl appearance.

His face was a little pale, and the collar of the silk shirt on his upper body had some signs of being torn.

Looking through the gap, one can see a long strip of 'new flesh' with different colors on the white and tender but strong chest.

It was a newly grown wound stimulated by the magic potion and had not been exposed to wind or sun.

Lan En's face twitched slightly.

Because it's in his chest, under the ribs that snap together like shutters.

The implanted [Muscle Coil] has begun to extend and grow.

The Valyrian steel wire, which has been fused with Nergigante Bone Powder and has the ability to grow, will absorb the nutrients in Lan En's body to copy, spread, and lengthen itself, and then fix it to the tendons throughout the body.

These steel wires will spread and grow under Lan En's bones, skin, and muscles like slime mold spreading out on a petri dish.

The thin steel wire scrapes across the surface of nerves and bones, drilling out the twisted gaps between muscle bundles, and then repeats the process, extending toward the next limb.

Itching and tingling sensations spread throughout almost every muscle bundle.

The growth of [Tendon Coil] is under the control and supervision of [Gene Seed] and [Song Gland].

So there is no need to worry about the danger of spreading and growing, but the uncomfortable feeling must be endured.

The road to strength is often accompanied by unforgettable torture and pain.

Lan En has already understood, known, and accepted this pain.

"Crunch~"

He clenched his hands unconsciously, and the [tendon coils] that were growing rapidly between the muscle bundles had already laid the tentacle wire from the origin of the chest to the ends of the arms and limbs.

And just the movement of clenching the palms is like two pieces of cooked monster skin rubbing against each other under strong squeezing force.

It makes a tooth-piercing sound.

Under Lan En's clothes, the blood vessels in his muscles bulged, which was caused by the body's reflexive tightening caused by pain.

And these muscles and bones, which are already powerful enough to far exceed those of ordinary people, are still growing stronger.

[Tendin Coil] Every time it is laid in a place, and every time an additional metal wire grows and is wrapped around it, his strength and body will become stronger.

Eventually, he will be able to crush the skull, the hardest bone structure in human beings, with just his palms.

If the fists on your hands are equipped with enough protection, you can penetrate the armor of the tank with just a punch.

Compared with the original Space Marines, the transformation surgery that can most increase the combat effectiveness of Primaris Space Marines has now been completed.

If we just talk about the basic physical fitness and instantaneous explosive power of the naked body, then Lan En, who has completed the [Tendon Coil] implantation, is already the same as a Primaris Space Marine.

Completely surpassing the naked bodies of the original Space Marines.

Even because of the characteristics of Valyrian steel, his [Tendon Coil] even has greatly improved resistance to magic.

The high degree of biological integration possessed by Valyrian steel means that these powerful steel wires in Lan En's body do not affect the flow and generation of his chaotic magic.

But when other people's magic invades, it will be resisted and weakened by the properties of this steel.

During the painful process, Lan En "slightly" supported the wall outside the door frame of the laboratory.

The walls of Aretusa are all spliced ​​together from a single piece of huge rock, and finally covered with a wall plaster coating. While they look seamless, their hardness can also match the standard rock blocks.

But when Lan En withdrew his hand from the outer wall of the door frame, a layer of the wall's plaster coating was crushed into powder, and the rock underneath also burst out under the squeeze, leaving a cracked palm print imprinted on it.

This is just the grip of the palm of your hand.

But at the same time, Lan En calmly raised his palm amidst the itching and pain. In the soft palm, a layer of skin cuticle and minced meat that had been squeezed into minced meat were rolled into curls by his force just now. .

[Tendon Coil] can significantly improve body strength and defense.

But this 'defense' refers to the steel wires spread throughout the body, which can block and weaken the weapons and forces that invade the human body.

However, since the skin, surface muscles, cutin, and [tendon coils] on the body are not laid outside the body, the defense and endurance of these surface tissues will not change.

The grip strength suddenly increased to the point that it could crush rocks, but the endurance of the skin was still the same as before, which was why Lan En was in this situation.

The layer of flesh and skin on the palm of his hand was rubbed off by his actions, as if he were rubbing his hands on the wall.

Although it didn't take long for Lan En to take another sip of [Advanced Swallow], the wound on his palm healed visibly.

The 'meat rolls' mixed with skin keratin and minced meat also fell to the ground.

But Lan En still shook his head.

The Primaris Space Marines also face the same problem as him: the surface skin and superficial muscles cannot withstand the strange force brought by the [Tendon Coil].

But they can still become the sharpest knife force in the human empire on the battlefield.

This is because subsequent surgery and the overall reinforcement of the Space Marines has freed them of all weaknesses that can be easily exploited.

Space Marines are not superhuman beings who can fly and escape, but they have absolutely no significant weaknesses.

"[Belisarius Furnace]."

Lan En looked at his rapidly healing palm and whispered thoughtfully.
