"The weather is so nice."

Kevin emerged from his room, looking up at the sky with a refreshed expression.

Melusina walked over from the side, and the Three-Tails on her shoulder jumped and landed on Kevin's head.

"Don't put it on my head."

Kevin said this as he took the Three-Tails off his head and let it fall onto his shoulder.

"Did you succeed?" Melusina asked with a smile as she walked over.

Kevin smiled broadly and hugged Melusina.

"Thanks to you, it's a great success!"

As he spoke, he took the New Potion from his waist and held it in his hand.

Melusina looked at the new vial of medicine.

The liquid was dazzling, transparent as water, with sparkling stars within it, and several diamond-like crystals swirling in the center.

It reflects light under the sun, emitting bright colors.

"It's very beautiful."

It seems to be a high-level potion; its appearance alone gives people a sense of awe and mystery.

"This is a top-grade potion made with five ingredients; it might be the highest-grade potion I've ever made."

Kevin isn't bragging.

He originally only intended to add one more ingredient to make a potion using four ingredients, but when he combined them, he didn't expect that the combination would produce an even better result.

Five materials were used.

Three types of A-Rank materials and two types of B-Rank.

This is undoubtedly a top-tier potion.

"Let's go, let's find a place to test it out first. After all, it's New Potion, and I'm not entirely sure about its effectiveness."

Kevin pulled Melusina and walked away into the distance.

He had no idea what kind of trouble the New Potion would cause, so it was really wrong of him to use it secretly by himself.

Bisky was called over, Biscuit, having heard the news, also came over.

Qiduo and Illumi followed along.

The open space outside the camp.

Surrounded by the crowd, Kevin looked at the medicine in his hand, put it into Syringe, and injected it into his thigh.

The liquid is instantly injected into the body and then absorbed.

"Sigh~"

Kevin took a deep breath.

Feeling the changes in my body.

Then his brows furrowed, and the effect didn't seem to be as he had initially hoped.

As is well known, A-Rank medicines can have permanent effects on the body even without special Nen ability.

Therefore, when using A-Rank medications, one's physical condition must meet certain standards.

Now, Kevin's first feeling is the disappearance of his Nen ability.

The Nen ability here is not the two main abilities, [Moment's Dream] and [Blank Meteor].

Rather, it's the special Nen ability gained through the potion.

The first thing to disappear is the Snake Scale; this special ability vanishes directly from the body and dissolves into the potion.

The feeling of something inside your body dissolving other things is very peculiar.

Next is the barrier, an ability that is completely ineffective at the Lord Level but is still very useful.

However, the two Nen ability that were dissolved and disappeared were not the end of the story; the ability to shape and create objects using Nen Aura also disappeared.

The three abilities dissolved, as if forming a crystal, and spread throughout the body.

It then spread.

It spread throughout the body, becoming a new ability.

This feeling was very novel.

It's like various abilities are being fused together within one's own body; this feeling is somewhat similar to when Kevin used the Ant King's potion to break through his bottleneck.

But they are also very different.

His brow relaxed, he reopened his closed eyes, and slowly exhaled.

"Did the medicine not work as expected?"

Biscuit asked, looking at Kevin's expression.

Kevin's face was completely contorted just now.

"It exceeded expectations, but the results were a bit beyond my expectations. Although I had some expectations, I didn't expect it to be achieved this way."

As he spoke, Kevin slightly raised his right hand, drawing everyone's attention.

Start with your fingertips.

The scales, with their Treasure Diamond -like color, began to spread, as if the skin were being crystallized.

These scales spread and eventually covered the entire right arm.

Kevin gave it a squeeze.

Although its surface was completely covered with crystalline scales, it seemed to function like skin and did not affect its movements at all.

Jin watched this scene, stroking his chin. "Is it the same ability as your Snake Scale from before?"

"There is one, a brand-new ability derived from fusion and evolution."

Open your palm.

Nen ability surged forth, condensing into crystalline scales that spread and shaped upwards.

A Club appeared in Kevin's hand, its surface covered with fine, dense scales.

The hollow structure of the Club can also be clearly seen through its crystal-clear surface.

He gripped the Club with both hands and swung it fiercely in all directions.

The sound of something cutting through the air was followed by a heavy, resonant feeling.

Pick up the Club and tap it in the air.

The Nen Aura seemed to surge out along the Club, creating a fine barrier of scales in the air where it was struck.

"Are these your other abilities? They've all turned into this?"

She knew Kevin better Biscuit and was familiar with many of Kevin's abilities.

However, as Kevin's strength increased, some of the methods he used before became meaningless.

Kevin didn't answer, but simply tapped the barrier in the air with the crystal Club in his hand.

"Try it and see how hard this thing is."

Jin had been impatient for a long time. Upon hearing this, he walked over, clenched his right fist, and then slammed a powerful punch into the barrier.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar.

The sound was like being punched on a thick iron brick.

The barrier in the air remained completely still; the punch barely caused any change.

Jin looked at his fist.

I used all my strength in that punch.

Biscuit tapped the crystal barrier with her hand as well. She didn't use much force, but the tap alone was enough for her to feel the hardness of the barrier.

"This level of hardness is completely beyond our capabilities at this stage, and its scaly appearance... could it also possess the characteristics of the Snake Scale you once had?"

Biscuit realized that this was not just an effect of being arranged into a barrier.

Kevin smiled and nodded.

"This is the best potion I have at the moment. If it were just crystallization, it wouldn't be considered the best."

The top-tier potion, created by combining five compatible materials, perfectly met Kevin's ideal state, and even surpassed it.

The most crucial material in this is called the Combination Beast Core.

One of the materials previously selected by Melusina.

The so-called Combination Beast is a kind of giant beast from the Giant Beast Kingdom, but this kind of giant beast gives people a sense of being pieced together.

The population is small; they only found five in total in the Giant Beast Kingdom.

And each one is different.

It's like piecing together different monsters.

Actually, the monsters that were pieced together weren't assembled by someone; they grew out of themselves.

In the end, they only killed one and did not continue hunting.

The monster was eventually handed over to others for research, while Kevin took the Beast Core.

Because it's A-Rank material.

This material directly became the core of the entire medicine.

The material's characteristic is that it combines the characteristics of other organisms.

For this reason, Kevin never intended to use this material to make potions, since Treasure Diamond are minerals.

Who could have imagined it would work so well?

It was precisely because of the effects of this material that, after use, all the abilities connected to it within Kevin's body were dissolved and incorporated into it.

By combining their strengths, new capabilities were formed.

[Scaly Crystallization]

Kevin can now conjure Treasure Diamond -like scales out of thin air using his Nen Aura, and these scales can be arranged and shaped.

They possess a strength and hardness as high as that of Treasure Diamond.

It also possesses the characteristics of Snake Scale and the ability to disperse and diffuse force.

The force experienced by one point of impact will be evenly distributed across the entire surface.

For example, the Snake Scale crystals on Kevin's body will spread completely throughout his entire body when attacked.

This is further compounded by its exaggerated hardness.

Its impact resistance is almost maxed out; in some ways, its hardness even exceeds that of Treasure Diamond itself, because it possesses the characteristics of Snake Scale.

At the same time, under Kevin's control, this hard object also became malleable.

This allows Kevin to freely create whatever he desires using the Snake Scale, whether in daily use or in combat.

This is definitely an extremely versatile Nen ability.

After some research.

Biscuit and the others fell silent.

"Is this the norm for Lord Level?"

Biscuit really didn't know how else to express herself besides asking this question.

That's insane.

This is a complete game-changer for them; they have no way to deal with the scales.

Even when Tewashi came over with his chainsaw, he couldn't cut through the Snake Scale creature, because it was no longer simply hard.

The properties of Snake Scale allow the cutting force of the chainsaw to be transmitted across the entire surface.

This is a combination of five materials.

A perfect match.

"So, we can have the same effect with the medicine?" Qiduo asked, frowning, from the side.

She sensed that this medicine might not be so simple.

Kevin's words confirm this.

"No, it's impossible to judge the specific effects. Would you like to give it a try?"

Kevin couldn't be sure about this either, because the characteristics brought by the Combination Beast Core would cause it to exhibit different characteristics depending on the user.

Of course, the fact that it Scaly Crystallization is certain.

The group exchanged glances.

Biscuit said directly, "Let Melusina use it; her Nen ability is the most complex."

This is a point that everyone agrees on.

Because it is Specialist Type, Melusina's Nen ability appears both complex and disjointed.

The source of his immense power, like Kevin, did not rely on Nen ability.

Instead, it relies on basic numerical values.

Kevin looked at Melusina, Melusina nodded.

Take out the new medicine and put it into the Syringe.

The Syringe flew to Melusina's side and landed on her body like a mosquito.

Liquid infusion.

Melusina also showed the same expression as Kevin had before, her brows furrowed.

After a few minutes, his brows finally relaxed.

"No the same."

She reached this conclusion.

Then, raising his hand, he first displayed the characteristic of having Snake Scale growing on his body, just like Kevin.

Then Xiao Hong appeared beside me.

Xiao Hong was dressed as a maid, but there was a noticeable change in the outer layer underneath.

Xiao Hong, who was once Nen Beast, was only distinguished by her maid outfit; her exposed skin was actually that of a Faceless One.

It was immediately recognizable as Nen Beast; there was no disguise.

Now, the Faceless One figure that was originally like a doll is covered with a layer of crystalline scales.

"Has the special ability been transferred to the Nen Beast?"

Jin watched from the side, muttering to himself.

Kevin watched this scene, thought for a moment, and then used his Nen ability to create a maid as well.

However, the desired effect was not achieved, Kevin could only manually apply a layer to the other party by shaping the scales.

Although the results may appear the same, they are essentially displays of completely opposite abilities.

"It's not over yet."

As she spoke, Melusina produced a Gift box and handed it to Biscuit was standing next to her.

Biscuit took the Gift box from Melusina and opened it immediately.

A layer of transparent, scale- Biscuit.

"Wait a minute, I can't get out!"

Biscuit thought the barrier was surrounding her and would move with her, but it turned out to be stationary, trapping her inside.

Melusina smiled and nodded, "This Gift is like that; it's a temporary defensive structure, unlike the scales that grow on the body."

These words made Biscuit her lips speechlessly; the effect of using it had clearly been reduced considerably.

This ability can only be used on targets that are in danger but cannot be constantly monitored.

"Is the effect of this potion based on the user's Nen ability, exhibiting different characteristics? The only certain effect is that the user's skin can grow crystalline scales?"

After observing for a while, Qiduo asked.

Kevin nodded. "That's right, crystal scales are the only confirmed ability. As for the effects of other abilities, they vary from person to person."

He took out another potion, and this time the user was Jin.

Because Jin is special among everyone.

His Nen ability is Enhancement Type, which enhances his brain and learning ability.

Therefore, he also uses Nen ability that employ many striking techniques.

Because these offensive Nen ability techniques are essentially the application of Nen Aura.

The vast majority are Enhancement Type.

After using it, Jin opened his eyes; the whole process took less than ten seconds.

"What's wrong? How come it only has the simplest function when it comes to me?"

The epidermis exhibits Scaly Crystallization.

"And then?" Illumi asked.

Why is it stopped moving?

"What? And then? That's it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone silently looked at Jin.

"It's such a waste to give it to you," Qiduo muttered from the side.

The so-called attack- Nen ability.

It refers to the use of physical Nen Aura combined with mental energy to generate offensive capabilities.

Theoretically, it's possible to achieve this result without setting it as a Nen ability, simply through learning.

Of course, this is only in theory.

This medicine will not cause any changes.

After a series of experiments, Kevin used a total of five vials of the drug.

He wasn't too bothered by it.

For such complex potion abilities, a precise understanding is definitely worthwhile.

This is because, in addition to letting Kevin know the detailed capabilities and results that the potion can achieve, it also allows him to deduce the potential effects of certain ingredients in the potion after they are incorporated into it.

The Beast Core of the Combination Beast clearly possesses extremely powerful potential.

However, a conclusion was eventually reached.

That means the one that works best is still Kevin himself.

Others mostly Scaly Crystallization, which is a more basic application.

However, this result is not surprising.

After all, this was indeed custom-made for Kevin.

It was designed specifically for its own circumstances during the production process.
