Fu Qing was dumbfounded. "What is going on? How is this possible?!"
Liu Di raised his head slightly.
Liu Di's Topological Space appeared in the sky.
The traces of Liu Di's game against Divine Bird Du Jue spread throughout the entire River of Time. Liu Di had no way to tamper with Divine Bird Du Jue's skin.
But.
He had obtained every stage of Divine Bird Du Jue's skin evolution.
Now.
Divine Bird Du Jue's skin had evolved into a multifaceted crystalline structure.
Each individual feather was thick at the tip and thin at the base. Not only did it possess Fluid Metal's inherent toughness, but it had also reinforced its physical structure through an ingenious design.
The principle resembled a Prince Rupert's Drop.
A Prince Rupert's Drop was a tadpole-shaped glass structure formed by dropping molten ordinary glass into water to cool. It was the size of a cherry, yet unbelievably, its head could withstand eight tons of pressure.
That was because, at the instant the glass bead cooled, a perfect balance of compressive and tensile stress formed within its head.
It pulled against itself, creating a sturdy structure that resisted external force.
But.
While a Prince Rupert's Drop's head was incomparably hard, its tail was extremely fragile. With a gentle pinch, the internal pressure would immediately fall into chaos, and it would shatter at 1,450 meters per second!
Divine Bird Du Jue's feathers shared the same underlying principle as a Prince Rupert's Drop. Powerful internal forces contended with one another, maintaining balance and resisting external force.
This was what Divine Bird Du Jue meant when it said its control over Fluid Metal surpassed Liu Di's!
But its living environment lacked gravity, so it could not achieve the perfect natural state formed when a Prince Rupert's Drop fell into
