Chapter 168: Transformation Failed
The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up. He was very satisfied with this kind of progress.
The molting did not require the complete transformation of the soft body. It could be used at about one-third of the time.
Of course, the more complete the molting transformation, the less side effects it would have. The number of times it could be used in a short period of time would also increase.
In the original work, Sasuke did not learn the molting transformation, but under the influence of the curse seal, his body had undergone a certain change. Only then could he use the molting secret technique.
It was just that after the curse seal disappeared, as time passed, the incomplete soft body transformation returned to its original state.
Today's transformation had been completed, so it was useless to soak in it any longer.
When tomorrow night came, he would soak in another kind of medicinal herb.
Uchiha Tunan got up from the pool naked and wrapped a white bath towel around him. He quietly observed Saruten's situation.
The reason why he taught Saruten Soft Body technique was only because of Uchiha Tunan's Sudden Inspiration.
He wanted to see if there would be any special changes when the two extreme cultivation methods of Soft Body Transformation and Unbreakable Diamond were fused together.
After all, the system's inherited ability did not seem to be able to fuse with the abilities it already had, and could only carry out coexisting.
Just like how Uchiha Tunan possessed all attributes of chakra, these chakra attributes did not automatically merge into the Blood Limit and Blood Limit Net.
Uchiha Tunan, who was deeply influenced by the culture of his previous life, had heard of the combination of strength and softness.
That was why he had the idea of using Saruten as an experimental monkey.
He couldn't fuse with the changes, so he could let Saruten change first before bringing it over.
Uchiha Tunan would stop his transformation before the transformation was complete.
At that time, he would rely on the system to let these two abilities coexist.
After another two hours, Uchiha Tunan saw that Saruten had yet to wake up. He frowned and asked softly, "Saruten, are you asleep?"
Saruten sat cross-legged in the pool. Due to the thick medicinal liquid, his hair actually dyed a bit of color and turned into a green monkey.
When Saruten heard Uchiha Tunan's voice, he opened his eyes with a depressed expression.
Looking at Uchiha Tunan lowering his head in disappointment and looking at the green water, he said in a low voice,
"Tunan, it seems that I am too stupid. You should change partners."
Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes.
Was there a conflict between the soft body transformation and Vajra Unbreakable Body, or was this monkey's aptitude really too poor?
But how bad would it be?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Uchiha Tunan's mind. With a gentle smile on his face, he beckoned to Saruten and said, "Saruten, come up for a moment."
Saruten nodded silently, walked to the pool and climbed up.
Perhaps because Uchiha Tunan was not a female monkey, he was too lazy to put on his clothes when he was covered in water.
He hugged his curled legs with both hands.
He sat gloomily at the edge of the pool.
After all, these medicinal herbs were bought by Uchiha Tunan with a lot of money, and he was not stingy to let him cultivate with them.
But he was disappointing, and there was no change at all.
He really failed to live up to Uchiha Tunan's careful cultivation.
Uchiha Tunan looked down at Saruten, and the strange smile on his lips flashed away.
He immediately squatted down in front of Saruten and whispered, "Saruten, I am going to help you, but the process may be a little painful. Can you hold on?"
Saruten heard this and raised his head, staring at Uchiha Tunan and saying, "I'm not afraid of any pain."
For Saruten, as long as he could become stronger, he could do anything.
Uchiha Tunan nodded and quickly made a series of hand seals. A strange chakra fluctuation appeared in his palm.
In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan pressed his palm on the top of Saruten's head.
Curse Seal · Seed Road.
Saruten felt as if a foreign object had been forcefully stuffed into his head, and his eyes were instantly in so much pain that they were about to split apart.
The monkey held its head with both hands, constantly rolling and howling by the side of the pool.
At this time, he felt as if his head was being scratched by a pair of giant hands, and his head felt like it was splitting apart.
It even made him have the urge to smash his head against the edge of the pool.
However, he knew that he could not do that.
Pain meant that there was an effect. He had to persevere.
Uchiha Tunan did not want the commotion here to alarm the Uchiha clansmen around him. He pointed his finger with chakra and pointed below Saruten's Adam's apple.
This time, no matter how hard Saruten tried, he could not make a sound. He just rolled around the pool in pain.
Gradually, Saruten's struggle became smaller and smaller.
The monkey was lying on the side of the pool, twitching again and again, and his eyes became lax.
It was as if the violent action just now had exhausted all his strength, making him lose all his strength to breathe.
Uchiha Tunan looked on coldly from beginning to end.
His expression did not change at all, as if he was just looking at a dead object.
This was also the first time Uchiha Tunan used the planting Taoist seal, and he did not know if he would plant a dead person.
The worst result now was that Saruten suddenly died.
However, Uchiha Tunan had seen a group of little monkeys soaking in the pool in the Water Curtain Cave that day.
In the early stages of the Invincible Vajra, he estimated that he needed to soak in medicinal water to assist in his cultivation, and he did not know the specific prescription.
The list of medicinal herbs that Enma had given him would definitely not be all.
After all, the Invincible Vajra was the foundation of the ape clan, and only Enma as the Ape King would know.
A good-for-nothing monkey would not be a problem for the current Uchiha Tunan.
He directly told Enma that in order to make Saruten stronger, he taught him a precious secret technique. In the end, the secret technique clashed with his own ability and he died.
When the time came, he would ask Hiruzen Sarutobi to plead for mercy, and he could pick another monkey himself.
After a while, Saruten finally could not bear the pain and fell to the ground, fainting.
Uchiha Tunan squatted down and placed his hand in front of Saruten's nose. He nodded in satisfaction.
It was good that he didn't die. It all depended on the effect of the Curse Seal with immortal energy.
An hour later.
Saruten slowly woke up.
The room was dim yellow, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air.
And he was lying on the floor, covered with a woolen blanket.
Saruten still felt that his body was tired, and he was even a little tired. He tried to sit up, but he fell back on the floor.
"You're awake."
Saruten turned his head and looked over.
He saw Uchiha Tunan sitting cross-legged in front of a short table, reading a book while drinking tea and reading a book.
After all, Saruten had already obtained recognition. He only needed to wait for when he would reap the fruits of his labor.
He was just a little monkey without strength, so Uchiha Tunan did not need to deliberately act as him.
Saruten took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and sat up. He subconsciously reached out to touch the top of his head, but he did not touch anything.
"Don't touch, I just opened your Ren and Du meridians."
"Ren and Du meridians?" Saruten had never heard of this term, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
Uchiha Tunan picked up the cup and took a leisurely sip of tea. He said lightly,
"This is a special meridian. After it is opened, it can release one's potential to a certain extent.
The bathroom is right behind, and I've increased the weight of the medicinal ingredients.
Go soak in it now.
If one hour doesn't work, then two hours.
Go soak in it until you succeed in your cultivation."
Uchiha Tunan did not raise his head, nor did he look at Saruten. He only informed him like this.
When Saruten heard this, he immediately said with a firm expression, "I will definitely be able to do it this time."
After saying this, he crawled up with some difficulty. After taking a deep breath, he walked towards the bathroom step by step.
