Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
It was power identical to his own ultimate technique—the pinnacle of Source Matter arts, an utterly unreasonable cheat code.
The Great Asura from the Nightmare Eye seemed to call it "beast soul"?
Raymond, once taken in by Avery as an inheriting disciple and taught everything without reservation, naturally had no reason to be unable to master it. But the question was, when had he learned it?
"After getting beaten up twice by that bald old man at your place. I went back, thought it over, and figured it out."
At the mention of that, Raymond's expression twitched with a hint of heartache—he had only taken a tiny peek, yet that bald old man had charged him double!
And despite having no money, he had even been forced to take out a secured loan from MagiGold Bank!
The first time he came, Huai Shi beat him up. The second time, the bald old man beat him up. The third time, Huai Shi still beat him up... Nothing good ever happened whenever he came to Huai Shi's house for a meal!
No one from Orchard Gym was any good!
Fortunately, under the pressure of the loan, he had at least managed to recoup a little.
Whether it was called an ultimate technique or beast soul, the power known as Source Blood Metamorphosis was actually simple and crude—if described in video game terms, it meant swapping and supplementing the mana bar and health bar.
It completed a conversion between form and soul.
Source Matter could be used to restore physical strength, while physical strength could likewise be sacrificed to replenish Source Matter.
For anyone else, it was hardly an especially powerful move. At most, it could occasionally be used to absorb damage and play the role of a tank.
