Aside from the Blazing Flame Mountain-Breaking Rhinoceros forelimb he had swiped from the Mo Clan, the Lingmu Sable was the first beast he had recorded and transplanted through his own strength. Yet the results were rather eye-opening.

Sure enough, ideals and reality were still quite different...

The energy gained from transplanting the Lingmu Sable was minuscule. It had not even raised his strength by one star, though it had shortened his cultivation progress somewhat.

By Mo Yun's estimate, advancing from an Eight Star Dou Zhe to a Nine Star Dou Zhe should have taken at least three months. But after transplanting the Lingmu Sable Right Leg, that time had been drastically reduced to half a month.

Low energy, and not a single additional skill!

Looking at the sable in his hand, Mo Yun suddenly felt that none of this was so appealing anymore.

The moment Mo Yun loosened his grip, the little sable, which had nearly resigned itself to its fate, shot up the nearest tree in a flash.

Though he was somewhat disappointed, there were still so many empty slots. If every part of his body were transplanted with magical beast body parts, then even if they were all trashy D-rank parts on the Lingmu Sable's level, Mo Yun's strength could still reach the Dou Shi level!

A twelve-year-old Dou Shi did not seem too bad either!

Within the fresh-air forest, a figure constantly darted between the branches.

His movements were light and swift. At a glance, he looked remarkably like a Lingmu Sable.

When the figure came to a stop on a not particularly lush branch, his face was finally fully revealed. It was Mo Yun, who had escaped the Mo Clan.

For more than half a month, Mo Yun had done nothing but travel. He had now nearly reached the edge of the forest. Beyond it lay bare yellow earth, and continuing in this direction would lead him to the harshest region of the Jia Ma Empire—the Tagor Desert!

Over this half month, Mo Yun had recorded and transplanted many magical beast body parts. As his strength increased, his understanding of the Chimera Beast Transplant System had also become much clearer.

Current panel.

Host Information Name: Mo Yun Gender: Male Age: 12 Realm: Three Star Dou Shi Head: None Torso: Yan Xu Tiger Torso, D-rank Left Limb: Blizzard Demon Ape Left Limb, D-rank Right Limb: Blazing Flame Mountain-Breaking Rhinoceros Right Limb, D+-rank Left Leg: Chaimu Fox Left Leg, D-rank Right Leg: Lingmu Sable Right Leg, D-rank Skin: None External Body: None Skills: 1. Strength Boost, D-rank: Consumes vitality and blood to instantly double one's strength! 2. Thick Skinned, D-rank: Passive skill. Increases the toughness of the physical body! 3. Berserk, D-rank: Burst skill. Raises all physical attributes by 10% for three minutes!

Over the past half month, Mo Yun had recorded many magical beast bodies, but many of the parts overlapped. Only after comparing them did he settle on his current set.

The Yan Xu Tiger and the Chaimu Fox were both first-tier magical beasts. Yet despite being of the same tier, their energy was noticeably higher than that of the Lingmu Sable.

They had also put Mo Yun in no small amount of danger. He had suffered three injuries before taking the two of them down.

Compared to the Lingmu Sable, the two had met far more miserable fates. Mo Yun had even removed their magic cores.

As for the Blizzard Demon Ape, it was a second-tier magical beast, one that was even close to the third tier. Unfortunately, it had been injured, allowing Mo Yun to pick up the kill. Once he had recorded and transplanted it, he also took its magic core.

During the transplantation process, compared with the Lingmu Sable, Yan Xu Tiger, and Chaimu Fox, he had also awakened another skill: Berserk.

After all, Mo Yun currently possessed neither cultivation techniques nor Dou Skills. His combat strength was entirely reflected through his fists and kicks. He was like a super minion that could only use basic attacks, merely adding some Dou Qi to boost his damage!

Through the transplants, Mo Yun discovered that magical beast body parts did not merely raise his realm and grant skills. They also affected his physical attributes.

For example, the Blazing Flame Mountain-Breaking Rhinoceros, Yan Xu Tiger, and Blizzard Demon Ape had not only strengthened Mo Yun's power, but also improved his body's resistance to blows.

At his current Three Star Dou Shi realm, Mo Yun's strength alone was probably no weaker than that of some Six or Seven Star Dou Shi. With Strength Boost, D-rank, he could even surpass that level.

The Chaimu Fox and Lingmu Sable had not given Mo Yun much of an increase in strength or physical defense. Instead, they had improved his speed and agility.

Attack, defense, speed!

For leveling in the beginner zone, those three were the most crucial factors. Especially below the Great Dou Shi realm, battles still leaned toward the martial arts stage of exchanging fists and kicks.

After weighing everything up, Mo Yun chose this more balanced transplant configuration.

As for the head, skin, and external body slots, they counted as extremely rare parts.

Mo Yun did not know which of the three was rarest. In any case, over the past half month, he had recorded no fewer than twenty or thirty magical beast body parts, and not a single one had been a head, skin, or external body part.

Limbs appeared most often. The torso was likely somewhere between limbs and the other three types in rarity, and only the Yan Xu Tiger had provided one.

Head and skin were self-explanatory. The key was this external body slot.

Based on Mo Yun's exploration, external body referred to things outside humanoid organs.

For instance, the horns, wings, or tails of certain magical beasts.

Or perhaps the eight spider legs of some guy next door. Those were what the external body slot referred to.

Given his current physical foundation, learning strength-based combat Dou Skills would undoubtedly allow him to better unleash his offensive potential.

Unfortunately, cultivation techniques and Dou Skills had become what Mo Yun lacked the most.

Compared to his own system, Mo Yun suddenly felt that starting out with an old grandpa by his side did not sound too bad.

Following his previous plan, Mo Yun continued onward. Several days later, he finally reached the outskirts of the Tagor Desert.

The cities along the desert's edge were almost all built from the same kind of special yellow earth. Walls made from this yellow earth could greatly resist the erosion of wind and sand, even remaining free of weathering after more than a decade.

Most of those active here were mercenaries who lived with their lives on the line. Anyone with even a little strength would not be scraping by in such a harsh environment.

Looking at the city that had entered his sight, Mo Yun tore and adjusted his tattered clothes.

His already ragged clothes were torn down until only a pair of shorts remained. It was not that he had any urge to expose himself; the truth was that the heat here was brutal, with ground temperatures easily reaching over forty degrees.

Besides, those female mercenaries only covered their three vital points. Vast stretches of wheat-colored skin were exposed, and those with broader figures were one thing, but anyone with even a slightly better figure was simply too eye-catching.

"Stone Desert City!"

Looking at the name on the plaque, Mo Yun slowly walked inside.

But the instant he entered the city, Mo Yun instinctively sensed a faint, subconscious danger...
