Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 134 The Origin Secret Technique of the Silver Throne!

Inside the ball of fur were two bone fragments and five animal hides.

The bone fragments were all about the size of a palm. One bone fragment was covered with honeycomb-like gaps, while the other bone fragment was off-white and had a dense bone structure.

As for the animal hides, all five were green with large and small black spots.

Xia Fa couldn't identify which supernatural creature the two bone fragments came from, but he recognized the five animal skins—they were all lizard skins!
Or, to be precise, they're all disguised monitor lizard skins!
But none of that is the key point. The key point is... all the bone fragments and animal hides are covered with densely packed secret inscriptions!
These are... seven secret contracts!
Moreover, they are all high-level secret contracts!

Xia Fa admitted that he was even a little moved at that moment.

Especially when he thought back to the very beginning, when the Venomous Tree Centipede had spat out the fiery red bead that could detoxify him, showing him complete goodwill, and when he was still a little suspicious, he blushed even more.

But there was nothing he could do about it. If he had known earlier that the venomous tree centipede only had the intelligence of a child, he wouldn't have been so vigilant and wary.

"Are these for me?"

Xia Fa looked up and confirmed it once more.

Whether the Venomous Tree Centipede understood or not, it shook its enormous head up and down as if to confirm.

It seems that it can sense what Xiafa is asking by his tone of voice, especially when the meaning is relatively simple.

Xia Fa gave it a big smile, an expression the creature probably understood. Then, he lowered his head and began to identify the high-level secret contracts.

After all, this is all equivalent to gold pounds! A solid green gold pound!

Among them were three high-level secret contracts, all of which were "Disguise Thorns," and all of which came from the skin of a disguised giant lizard.

The Disguise of the Thorn is an advanced secret code corresponding to the Assassin's Secret Code and the Thief's Secret Code. It grants assassins and thieves the ability to change their appearance and physique, blend into their surroundings, become invisible, and even discover the target's weakness to deliver a fatal stab.

Because there are quite a few superhumans who have signed assassin's pacts and thief's pacts, especially when it is necessary for various underground secret activities, such high-level pacts start at 20,000 gold pounds.

In other words... he... has already earned 60,000 gold pounds!
As for the two bone fragments with different structures, one is the "High Temperature Propulsion" secret contract, and the other is the "Peeping into the Dark Eyes" secret contract.

I've vaguely heard of the Secret Bond technique, but I don't know its specific capabilities or market price.

As for the Secret Plot of the Dark Eyes, it is a high-level secret contract corresponding to the Secret Plot of the Seeker.

However, because the Secret Seeker's Pact often allows superhumans to see things they shouldn't see and hear whispers from unknown beings, like the Tentacle Pact and the Extrasensory Pact, not many people dare to sign it.

Therefore, the market price for the Secret of the Black Eyes is just over ten thousand gold pounds.

Speaking of which, it seems that Chestnut has signed the Secret Seekers' Pact, but I don't know if she has signed the Secret Seekers' Pact.

As for the remaining two secret contracts, they were the ones Xia Fa had seen before: the Weapon Emperor Secret Contract and the Gale Shadow Secret Contract, with market prices of a little over 10,000 gold pounds and around 15,000 gold pounds respectively.

Xia Fa did a quick calculation: if he sold all seven high-level secret contracts—especially since the fat owner of the secret trading shop would definitely be very willing to buy them—he could succeed.
So I've made a direct profit this time... around 100,000 gold pounds!

This doesn't even take into account the high-temperature propulsion of this advanced secret contract!
Adding to that the six spirit-eating tree frogs, and the extraordinary materials and supernatural essence from the disguised giant lizard, he was only about 30,000 gold pounds away from 500,000 gold pounds!
And soon, he could go hunting that demigod-level six-armed giant bear with the Venomous Tree Centipede.

In other words, we will soon have enough gold pounds, and we might even have tens of thousands more!
Xia Fa was overjoyed and put all seven high-level secret contracts into his pouch.

He understood perfectly well that this must have been obtained by the venomous tree centipede from its prey during its hunting activities.

Although it most likely didn't know what it was, its instincts as a supernatural being led it to collect it and store it in its body.

Moreover, it was even carefully wrapped and protected with corrosion-resistant animal hair.

Xia Fa felt a little embarrassed to accept such a generous gift as the Venomous Tree Centipede. After thinking for a moment, he extended his silvery-white claws and carved another secret inscription into the rock at the bottom of the clear water.

The meaning of the cryptic message was simple: Have you ever eaten a human or a fog person?

The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its head and responded by carving secret text on the ground with its colorful tentacles.

The inscription on it means: No, this is the first time I have seen a mist person who looks like you. I have seen mist people before, but they are all very powerful and I dare not approach them.

Xia Fa nodded slightly, guessing that when this ten million-acre divine land was fully formed, a powerful member of the Mist Clan had come in to inspect it.

As for himself... to be described as a completely different Mistman by it, Xia Fa once again felt its naivety.

Having lived in the Misty Realm all this time, it probably had never even seen a human. Before entering the Silver Throne state, it was likely the first human it had ever seen.

In addition, Xia Fa also understood that he did not look very human at the moment, after all, he was still in the state of the Silver Throne, which was a three-meter-tall silver-white metal shape.

Since they haven't eaten humans or mist people before, that makes things easier. Xia Fa immediately wrote down the secret instructions again:

Then you shouldn't attack humans or the Fog People without authorization, otherwise you'll be surrounded and annihilated. Why did you kill that six-armed giant bear?

The venomous tree centipede immediately responded by carving words on its antennae:
The centipedes that hatched in the same place as me were all eaten by it. I wanted to kill it so that it wouldn't eat me too.

Xia Fa took a moment to understand what it meant.

Judging from this, it seems that all of its brothers and sisters were preyed upon by that six-armed giant bear?
However, the Venomous Tree Centipede does not have the concept of brothers and sisters; it only knows that they are other Venomous Tree Centipedes that hatched with it.

Before he could ask any more questions, the Venomous Tree Centipede carved another secret inscription:

I recently sensed that many mist people who look just like you before you grew taller have entered this place. Because of this, that powerful being is about to awaken from underground. I want to kill that bear and leave this place, otherwise we will all be preyed upon by that powerful being.

Xia Fa was startled. In the mind of the Venomous Tree Centipede, a supernatural creature with the status of a demigod, it was considered a powerful being.
Then, it can only be that angel-level supernatural creature sleeping in the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

Xia Fa was alarmed and decided to report it to the church as soon as he returned.

Otherwise, if angelic supernatural beings wreak havoc, they could destroy most of Augustus's capital, although His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal Gaius will most likely be on guard.

Now that the venomous tree centipede was leaving, Xia Fa felt much more at ease, knowing that it could live safely.

As long as you take it to the deep mountains or the sea, there won't be any problems.

Especially the Balen Sea of ​​the Augu Kingdom, which is the sea outside Rum City, has a wide variety of supernatural creatures, making it much better than the Mist God Hunting Grounds that are about to become dangerous!

As for whether it is suitable to live in the sea... it is already at the level of a demigod, let alone the sea, it can easily survive even in magma.

So, Xia Fa inscribed another secret text:
Alright, after we kill that six-armed giant bear, I'll take you out to a good place. Would you like to live in the ocean?
Upon seeing the cryptic inscription, the Venomous Tree Centipede tilted its head again, seemingly trying to understand it. After a while, it used its antennae to carve another simple cryptic inscription:

What is the ocean?
Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, realizing he had made another mistake.

Having lived in the Mist God's Hunting Grounds since it was a child, how could it possibly know what the ocean is?
So, after careful consideration, he inscribed three secret characters:

It's a place where there's water everywhere, and there are many prey for you to hunt. As long as you don't provoke humans or demi-humans, and you purify the water after each time you use your venomous prey, and you're careful, you can live there forever.

The Venomous Tree Centipede read it carefully, and a look of anticipation suddenly welled up in its dark, shiny eyes. It didn't even have time to carve the secret text; it nodded its huge head vigorously, as if to say that it was very willing.

Xia Fa smiled slightly and inscribed another secret rune:
When do we set off to kill that giant bear?
The Venomous Tree Centipede thought for a moment and responded in cryptic language:
Tomorrow at noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, that's when it's at its weakest. At that time, we'll launch a surprise attack together and wipe it out completely!
Tomorrow at noon...

Xia Fa nodded slightly.

He suddenly stood up, his three-meter-tall body looking up at the Venomous Tree Centipede.

This time, he did not choose to carve the words on the ground, because he suddenly thought of a better way: he drew a single finger in the air and formed a secret text with flowing red mercury.

The venomous tree centipede's eyes lit up, as if it hadn't expected this. It followed suit, spewing out wisps of venomous gas, which condensed into another secret rune in the air as a response.

After reading the cryptic inscription, Xia Fa suddenly smiled.

Wow——!
A large amount of star-silver steam suddenly spewed out from the exhaust vents on his back, and his body accelerated instantly, attacking the Venomous Tree Centipede with a net-like network of silver-white claws!

The Venomous Tree Centipede didn't spew out any poison gas. Its python-like body suddenly swayed, instantly dodging all of Xia Fa's claws. Then, with a light and skillful bump, it knocked Xia Fa's three-meter-tall metal body away.

Its force was perfectly controlled, just enough to knock Xia Fa away without injuring him.

"This speed..."

After staggering a few times, Xia Fa regained his footing, his eyes suddenly blazing with fighting spirit. He once again spewed out a large amount of star silver steam from his back and attacked the Venomous Tree Centipede.

"Come again!"

……

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the sunlight filtering through the broad leaves turned orange, dyeing the clear water on the ground a golden color.

This forest area is now filled with traces of battle—all sorts of claw marks, small craters everywhere, and trees crushed by the massive body.

"Huff—, huff—" Xia Fa gasped for breath, his hands supporting him on his knees, almost unable to maintain his position on the Silver Throne.

The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its head and swayed, its dark eyes filled with joy, as if it had just enjoyed a pleasant game.

It had seen wolf cubs or cheetah cubs playing like this before, but it had never had a companion to play with. Now it could finally do it too.

For a full half-day, after Xia Fa asked it to spar with him for practice, it readily agreed and then sparred with Xia Fa for nearly six hours.

They played from noon until evening.

Xia Fa sighed inwardly, thinking that this Venomous Tree Centipede truly lived up to its reputation as a supernatural creature of demigod rank; after fighting for so long, it hadn't lost much of its stamina.

Of course, it's probably because it doesn't use various poisonous fogs or venoms, nor does it create a hundred-meter-wide area of ​​potent poison; it's just using its physical strength and speed to train against itself.

Xia Fa reaped considerable rewards, and even had a faint feeling that his understanding of the Silver Throne Secret Contract was about to be fully achieved.

Suddenly, his three-meter-tall silver-white metallic body seemed to "melt," and the silver metal all over his body turned into Rhine silver mercury, which drilled into the holes in his mouth, nose, wrists, and other places.

Xia Fa completely removed the Silver Throne from its current state.

The venomous tree centipede was startled again, looking at him with surprise. Suddenly, it exhaled venomous gas, which condensed into a secret rune in the air:
Why have you changed back? You look even more like a Fog Person now! But their skin is transparent, while yours is the color of an orange.

Xia Fa chuckled, but since he couldn't condense the runes with red mercury now, he responded by condensing the childlike scribbles-like runes with azure energy:
I look like a human now, but I'm one of the more handsome ones. When you go to the ocean and see humans who look similar to me, don't attack them unless they try to harm you first.

Just after responding, he suddenly thought of something and condensed another secret text:
Oh, and please protect me, I have something very important to do.

The Venomous Tree Centipede stared intently at Xia Fa for several moments, as if trying to memorize the "human's" appearance, before finally nodding.

It lowered its two-story-high body, and thousands of its segments moved together, forming a circle around Xiafa.

It seems that this is how Xiafa is protected.

Looking at the body of the venomous tree centipede, which resembled a fortress wall around him, Xia Fa felt a sense of peace for no apparent reason. He simply sat down on the spot, in the shallow water, and leaned against its back.

Surprisingly, the venomous tree centipede's shell was cool to the touch, which helped him cool down. After fighting it all afternoon, he was covered in sweat.

Xia Fa closed his eyes, entered a meditative state, and began to imagine himself as a glowing sphere.

He quickly arrived at the hazy mental body, rising steadily until he floated before the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

Then, Xia Fa began to understand again.

This time, he felt that he understood it much more smoothly than he had at noon. He could even completely understand many of the secret texts after just a glance.

His comprehension progress also began to advance significantly.

Sixty percent...

Eighty percent...

Ninety-nine percent...

Just as he was about to reach the goal, Xia Fa suddenly felt an indescribable hunger.

It was as if every cell, every muscle, and every organ in the body was calling out for and craving food rich in extraordinary power, and it was as if it had been holding back for too long and was suddenly bursting forth.

He immediately realized that this was due to a lack of extraordinary power!

Xia Fa quickly snapped out of his meditative state, made a clenching motion with his hands, and produced two deer legs from the chains that bound him.

Upon seeing the deer leg, the Venomous Tree Centipede was so startled it almost stood up, and immediately spat out a secret inscription:
You, you, you killed that despicable guy?
Xia Fa smiled and responded by spitting out a blue stream of secret text:

More or less, but it was seriously injured before it met me. By the way, do you want some?
The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its head, seemingly uninterested in the venison, and lay back down to continue protecting Xiafa.

Xia Fa smiled slightly, paid no attention, and immediately began to tear into the food.

Even though it's raw, I can't worry about that now.

The strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, and Xia Fa struggled to swallow the pieces of deer leg meat.

As expected of the flesh of a demigod-level supernatural being, the moment he swallowed it, he immediately felt an immense and somewhat violent supernatural power surging from his stomach.

But these violent supernatural powers had no effect and were immediately absorbed by his body.

Having made significant progress in understanding the secrets today, he desperately needs extraordinary power.

Xia Fa tore it apart piece by piece, and as he ate, the nauseating bloody taste faded, or rather, he got used to it, and instead found it to be smooth, crisp and chewy.

Moreover, it also had a faint metallic smell, not the metallic smell of blood, but more like the smell of raw steel.

After quickly finishing the two deer legs, Xia Fa entered a meditative state again, looking at the last two hundred or so secret inscriptions.

There was a slight hurdle to understanding this time, but not a major one.

Finally, as the last cryptic inscription was deciphered, the entire Silver Throne suddenly shone brightly, and all the inscriptions lit up for a fleeting moment.

Immediately, the Etheric Source Secret Contract, which had been hiding in the corner, flew over and circled the Silver Throne, much like a planet orbiting the sun.

Xia Fa was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening.

Is this because I have completely understood the Silver Throne, which has enabled it to coexist peacefully with the Ether Source?

boom! ! !
Before he could think any further, an unimaginably vast storm of knowledge descended upon his mind once again!

It seemed that this storm of knowledge was too intense and was about to completely shatter his mind. A strange current even surged from Xia Fa's spine and drilled directly into his mind.

This could be considered a blessing in disguise; the storm of knowledge quickly subsided, and countless pieces of knowledge that Xia Fa could understand began to emerge.

He also gained three more secret abilities from the Silver Throne.

[Repentance Silver Hammer] [Silver Slash] [Divine Retribution Silver]

And... the original secret technique of the Silver Throne!

[Judgment Day!!!]

"There really is a secret technique at its core!"

Xia Fa was almost bursting with ecstasy. How powerful must the origin secret technique of the Overlord-level secret contract be?
The trial of Yin Ri... sounds like something very complicated.

After experiencing it for a while, Xia Fa opened his eyes and immediately saw the black, shiny eyes of the Venomous Tree Centipede staring at him.

And the purple cryptic text it just spat out:
You seem to have become much stronger!

Xia Fa responded with a smile and in coded language:

Yes, since the operation is scheduled for noon tomorrow, I need to leave for a while. How about we meet here tomorrow morning?

The Venomous Tree Centipede nodded its enormous head, indicating that it was okay.

Xia Fa then stood up and walked towards the edge of the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

He waved goodbye to the Venomous Tree Centipede, which mimicked him, waving one of its segmented legs twice before turning and burrowing into the soil.

As Xia Fa walked, he took out a citrine and performed another simple divination.

This time, he divined the scene near 13 Risle Street.

That's right, he didn't directly divine whether Dicket was present or not. After all, divining about a ruler, especially a transcendent monarch among rulers, would be too risky.

He then turned to divination regarding the scene at 13 Risle Street, and through the imagery, he determined whether the address of 13 Risle Street was made of wood or iron.

If it is made of iron, it means that Dixie is present; if it is made of wood, it means that He is not present.

But whether He was there or not, Xia Fa decided to go to the Extraordinary Market to sell the high-level secret contracts and extraordinary materials worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds that came out of his bag.

A moment later, he put away the citrine, a clear look of joy flashing in his eyes.

Because Dick's nameplate... is made of iron!
　I recommend a book by another author from the same group.
