Chapter 240: Changing Forms Lin Feng returned to the base where Sage Kang and the others were. He bade farewell to Griman and the others before returning to his room to rest.

Lin Feng had completed this mission satisfactorily. Although many people had died, it was not Lin Feng’s responsibility. Moreover, they had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Their deaths could be considered worthy.

Lin Feng had gained a lot from entering the ruins this time. Not only had he undergone a second life transition, he had also cultivated the Tidal Combat Body. Even Lin Feng himself did not know how strong he was.

However, what he was even more excited about was that he could go home and become the Legate in Central Sea City! Even though the order had not been passed down yet, with Sage Kang’s guarantee, the order to be the Legate in Central Sea City would definitely come in the next few days.

Lin Feng had yet to completely familiarize himself with and adapt to the Tidal Combat Body.

He extended his hand. With a thought, his arm expanded rapidly. Now, Lin Feng could already control the Tidal Combat Body to erupt in a certain part of his body.

Lin Feng felt a little awkward when the Tidal Combat Body was retracted. Actually, after his genes were restructured, his 200-meter-long body could be considered his true form.

As for his present state, it came from forcefully compressing his cells to “transform” back. To maintain this form, Lin Feng had to suppress his combat body at all times.

Fortunately, Lin Feng’s mental power was very strong, so he was not afraid of being unable to suppress it.

The Tidal Combat Body was good in every aspect, but there was one thing that Lin Feng could not let go of. Once he used the Tidal Combat Body, his entire body would be naked, and every part of his body would become larger.

At that time, he would be completely naked. Some things were just too eye-catching. Back in the ruins, Fu Lin’s face was flushed because Lin Feng was completely naked at that time. It was too embarrassing.

“Longbetham, is there a way for me to use my combat body without being naked?”

Lin Feng was human, after all, and had a sense of morality and shame. It felt too awkward to be naked like that in every battle

“According to your human sense of morality, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate to be naked. However, this matter is actually very easy to resolve. Every time the great master uses the combat body, we do not see Master naked either. You can already restructure cells and control the cells. Is it that difficult to conjure a layer of armor?”

“Armor? But my innate ability of armor doesn’t seem to be working anymore.”

“Why would this require any innate ability? Your combat body is so strong. Is it that difficult for you to rearrange the cells a little?”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. That’s right. The combat body was so massive, and with his powerful mental power, rearranging a few cells would not affect the combat body at all.

However, it could conceal certain parts of his body very well.

“I see!”

Having understood, with a thought, a layer of black cuticle scales immediately appeared on his arm. They were densely packed, like a layer of armor, and quickly covered Lin Feng’s entire body.

“The so-called innate abilities are actually some changes in arrangement on the cellular level. All your dire beast genes have integrated into your combat body. You can also control cells. This minor innate ability is nothing. If you can understand the cellular arrangement of certain dire beasts, you can even become a dire beast!”

“Changing forms?”

Lin Feng was stunned. That’s right. He could already control the changes on the cellular level now.

If he could understand the cellular arrangement of a Wild Bovine, he could even control the cells and transform into a Wild Bovine. Moreover, it would be a real Wild Bovine. It would be completely different from certain illusions, but one that had changed forms from the inside out, and was no different from a real Wild Bovine.

If there was any difference, it would probably be the difference in genes.

The ability to transform into anything was an ability of the myths, but could humans really transform into anything? At least, Lin Feng could do what Longbetham had said about transforming into those dire beasts.

However, how complicated was the cellular arrangement of those dire beasts? It was already extremely difficult to study just one type of dire beast, let alone memorize its cellular arrangement.

Moreover, even if Lin Feng transformed into a Wild Bovine, what use was it?

Apart from being a novelty and spectacle, what else could it do?

“Longbetham, didn’t you say that there are natural planetary lifeforms in the cosmos? If I study the cellular arrangement of planetary lifeforms thoroughly, will I be able to transform into a planetary lifeform?”

Lin Feng quickly thought of a “shortcut” in cultivation.

He could control cells. Transforming into an ordinary dire beast was definitely not worth it. There were no benefits at all. But what about transforming into those planetary lifeforms?

“Your idea is very good. Looks like you are not stupid either. You can indeed transform into those planetary lifeforms. However, those planetary lifeforms all have unimaginable amounts of cells. Forget about the number of cells you have now, even if you undergo another life transition, or four or five life transitions, you will still be far from comparable to a planetary lifeform. If you do not even have enough cells, how can you transform?

“Only by becoming a planetary lifeform can you transform into those natural planetary lifeforms. But then, what is the use? The combat body you cultivate is already the form most suitable for you. What would be the point of transforming into other planetary lifeforms?”

Lin Feng fell silent. On careful thought, this made sense. The combat body was already powerful enough, and it was the most suitable form for him. Transforming into another lifeform would be meaningless.

It seemed like some in the universe had long thought of these “wondrous ideas” of his, but they were all impractical.

“Actually, it is not completely impractical. Some natural planetary lifeforms have certain highly unique abilities that can be very useful under special conditions. However, studying a planetary lifeform thoroughly is just too difficult, and may be very time-consuming. If you have the time for it, you may as well think about how to further your life transitions.”

Lin Feng did not know if Longbetham was right. He planned to find some time to study the cellular arrangement of some dire beasts and see how complicated it was.

However, with Longbetham’s hint, Lin Feng could easily change the arrangement of some cells. His body was quickly covered in a layer of black scales.

At least this solved the problem of being naked every time he used his combat body. In fact, the black scales were not too attractive either, and looked similar to dire beasts. Lin Feng continued to study it for a while, before finally changing into a layer of gray armor.

It did not look too abrupt. Every time he used his combat body, no matter how massive it was, his body would be covered in such a “mighty” armor.

This “armor” was actually useless in battle. It was simply an “adornment”.

However, at least when Lin Feng was fighting, he did not have to be as awkward in front of others as before.
