Inhuman
Lu Li looked at the two modules in his hand. They were modules that had been dropped from the Dream of Delusion, originating from the plant with the glowing fruit connected to the Tiger Ghost. These two modules were the Rule Module - Connectivity and the Special Module - Core.
Those glowing fruits are actually the core of the Tiger Ghost. They are connected to the Tiger Ghost, providing faith to the tiger and supporting the South Mountain Tiger's immortality, so it is not surprising that these two modules were found.
In addition, Lu Li has several spare modules: the Rule Module for Bestowal, Solidification, stabilizing, and Integration; the Control Module (language); and the special module (space). These modules Bestowal and Solidification, but due to Lu Li's several violations, the modules have Integration the mask and are now close to collapse. The space module is currently used by Lu Li as a small storage space, while the language module was replaced by the Shadow Spear.
Before the dungeon started, Lu Li changed the Control Module of Shadow Spear to Spirit and added a Speed Module, which made the skill's activation speed and the Shadow Spear's flight speed much faster.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Li's strength had improved tremendously. This growth rate was extremely fast. This was only his fourth dungeon, while other players were considered quite good if they could reach half his strength after four dungeons.
Lu Li lay quietly on the bed, holding the special module core in his hand. Shadow Magic continuously Integration into it, enveloping it. Then, he pressed one hand against his heart, and the module was Integration into Lu Li's heart along with the Shadow Magic. His already Mutation heart underwent another mutation.
The Factor Heart absorbed the core module and gradually evolved into a magical organ. All the Shadow Magic flowing through Lu Li's body was absorbed into it. With the beating of his heart and the circulation of his blood, the Shadow Magic was dissipated into his blood. Now, Lu Li has become a 100% magical creature. His blood contains magic. If shadow-type magic runes are written with his blood, the effectiveness of those runes will increase by about 10%.
Lu Li 'Lu Li heart has become his undisputed core, and its importance continues to rise. As time goes by, the importance of other organs will be collected by this heart. At that time, this heart will become a conceptual core. As long as the heart is not destroyed, Lu Li will not die.
Some of the Shadow Magic Integration his blood, flowing throughout his body, passing through every part of Lu Li's body, and then returning to his heart. As dawn approached, Lu Li flicked his thumbnail, slicing his middle finger. A few drops of blood fell onto the wooden table. The bright red blood did not spread, but instead, like pearls, emitted a dim light.
Looking at the few drops of blood, Lu Li smiled. He was becoming less and less like a human. Recalling the characters he had written down on the Deep One's altar, Lu Li stretched out his finger and pressed it on the blood pearl, using the blood to draw stroke by stroke, finally forming a character.
A dim light shone on the characters, but nothing happened. Lu Li's writing was correct, but this single character was incomplete and needed to be used in conjunction with other characters to have any effect.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the table. The character emitting a dim glow, after flashing with black smoke, turned into some useless bloodstains.
Lu Li stretched out his hand and placed it in the sunlight. The morning sun shone on Lu Li's pale hand, making Lu Li feel the pain of being pricked by needles. After a while, even some black smoke appeared, and there were some burn marks on his skin.
Nodding, Lu Li understood that as he continued to transform and became closer to Shadow Demon creature, the phenomenon of being rejected by light would become more and more serious. One day, sunlight would become his fatal weakness, but the opposite would also happen.
Lu Li withdrew his hand into the shadows, and the charred black mark quickly healed within seconds, shedding a layer of dead skin. The shadows would become his absolute support, or rather, he would become the master of the shadows.
The clothes Lu Li was wearing now were no longer the ones he had woven with magic at the beginning, but were provided by the Zhou Clan. After all, maintaining the Shadow Magic to form clothes and resisting sunlight was indeed not easy. He then asked the villagers for an Oil-Paper Umbrella and used it to shield himself from the sun.
Lu Li then discovered that even though the Oil-Paper Umbrella blocked the direct sunlight, certain factors that could harm him could still shine directly onto him through the Oil-Paper Umbrella. Therefore, Lu Li had to infuse the Oil-Paper Umbrella and his clothes with Shadow Magic.
So when Zhou Chu met Lu Li, the scene was like this: a handsome young man with medium-length hair, wearing a black patterned Hanfu, with three Demon Mask stacked together at his waist, and holding an Oil-Paper Umbrella covered with black patterns. The umbrella seemed to be shrouded in darkness, making the young man's figure somewhat eerie and blurry. The moment you saw him, you could feel an ominous and terrifying feeling.
The villagers didn't have Zhou Chu's keen senses, but they could still detect the ominous aura emanating from Lu Li, so no one dared to approach him. On the contrary, they dared to muster their courage and offer Zhou Chu some mountain produce as a token of their gratitude.
Zhou Chu was a man of his word, so when he saw Lu Li approaching, he frowned and asked, "Yingzhi, what's wrong with your strange appearance?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's due to my cultivation of a secret technique that makes me averse to light and prefer darkness. Everything has a price, doesn't it? I know my limits."
"As long as you know your limits, that's fine. If it's too dangerous, it's better to learn martial arts from me," Zhou Chu said. He had seen Lu Li summon the shadow spear and knew that Lu Li had some magical abilities. This era wasn't without magic; the most famous example was the Taiping Yellow Turban Rebels of a few years ago, General Zhang Jiao.
Afterwards, Zhou Chu bid farewell to the villagers and hired two brave villagers to put the body of the South Mountain Tiger on a cart, intending to push it back to Yangxian City to publicize Zhou Chu's deeds of eliminating the scourge and improve his reputation.
On Lu Li's stats panel, his physical attributes, which were stuck at 1.99, were constantly flashing, as if he was about to undergo a transformation.
