307: Chapter 307 Ice Desolate Devouring Body
As the interface opened, the attributes displayed on it appeared before Nie Ning's eyes.
There were indeed two more traits: Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body and Abyssal Body.
Nie Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It was very strange; he was certain that the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body had not appeared on the interface before.
Was it an omission by the interface, or was Saya's blood truly just ordinary blood originally?
Or perhaps recessive genes wouldn't manifest?
But if question marks could appear in the bloodline column, there was no reason for a trait not to be displayed.
Furthermore, the appearance of the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body was too suspicious; such a change only occurred after devouring the demon genes.
Did the Bull Demon possess the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body?
Or did the Abyss Flame activate the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body?
Nie Ning thought about it, and the second possibility was clearly the highest.
In other words, it was highly likely that the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body required Abyss Flame to be unlocked, or perhaps some other special and powerful source of fire.
“No wonder Saya couldn't activate the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body. Special flames are hard to find in the first place. Even if earth fire could activate it, Saya probably wouldn't have thought of that possibility.”
“Besides, she's so poor, how could she have any spare money to spend at the Danqi Workshop...”
Nie Ning rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
Not only that, finding a volcano and setting up a Fire Gathering Array had cost him a massive amount of magic crystals.
He didn't dwell on the matter further.
Nie Ning extended his right hand, and a wisp of white mist began to condense in his palm. Within moments, the temperature in the room began to drop rapidly.
“Interesting. It's quite a bit stronger than a Psionicist.”
As Nie Ning clenched his fist, countless Ice Chains suddenly appeared in the room like a spiderweb.
Nie Ning flicked an Ice Chain with his finger.
The Ice Chain swayed gently; its strength had increased by several levels compared to before.
Seeing this, a solemn expression appeared on Nie Ning's face. He hadn't expected the bonus from the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body to ice-type techniques to be so high.
It was nearly double the strength.
What was also interesting was that, if he guessed correctly, his Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body was actually a budget version of the constitution.
Because Supernatural Adaptability does not replicate constitution-type abilities one-to-one.
Just like his Strange Beast Body, if it were a one-to-one replica, after killing so many strange beasts, the stacked effects would probably allow him to tear a sixth-rank Transcendent apart with his bare hands.
In reality, Supernatural Adaptability was an ability that took strengths to compensate for weaknesses.
It used the various advantages of strange beasts to patch up his own shortcomings, thereby achieving a qualitative change.
The discarded abilities were, theoretically, parts that his body did not need.
According to this understanding, he could actually only obtain a portion of the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body's power, and even the Abyssal Body was the same.
However, since it was his first time obtaining such a constitution, Nie Ning couldn't be certain if he was right.
But based on his understanding of constitutions, a constitution with such a powerful-sounding name shouldn't have only this much capability.
Perhaps there were other special effects he hadn't noticed yet.
...
...
Next, Nie Ning absorbed the remaining demon gene potions.
Everything went very smoothly, and no mishaps occurred during the process.

The interface hadn't changed much, only adding Abyssal Body, Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body, and Intermediate Gluttony.
Though it seemed like only three additions, the bonuses from the two constitutions were actually quite ridiculous.
They covered physical enhancement, fire and ice element affinity, fire, ice, and earth power enhancement, and ice-fire energy conversion efficiency.
The Abyss Flame attached to the Abyssal Body possessed explosive properties and was an additive ability.
Even if he only used the conventional Light-Shadow Slash skill, he could use the Abyss Flame to add extra damage to it.
In comparison, the effect of the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body was slightly weaker, with its main enhancements revolving around strengthening ice-type abilities.
In terms of intensity, the difference between the two wasn't very large.
However, using Supernatural Adaptability this time had given Nie Ning a ridiculous boost in strength.
It was equivalent to nearly doubling his strength out of thin air, essentially the value of one god-forbidden ring.
Unlike external objects, this kind of enhancement was what Nie Ning truly wanted; after all, being strong yourself was true strength!
The remaining Intermediate Gluttony was actually a racial talent of abyss creatures.
The effect of Gluttony mainly lay in the issue of energy conversion.
Whether it was food or the Elemental Power in the air, he would obtain higher conversion efficiency.
Even the Power of Corruption that made people turn pale at its mention could be converted into the energy he needed through this ability.
Of course, the prerequisite was taking it slowly.
Based on the calculation of the Power of Corruption within a fourth-rank Corruptor, devouring it recklessly would still result in being eroded by the Power of Corruption.
This wasn't energy conversion, but energy qualitative change.
For example, he could smash a rock but couldn't crush a diamond; however, it was already enough to absorb the Power of Corruption in the air.
Combined with Supernatural Adaptability, his energy accumulation speed would be comprehensively enhanced.
From another perspective, Gluttony could be considered a disguised increase in resistance to Power of Corruption.
It had to be said that with the appearance of the Gluttony ability, Nie Ning even had the thought of heading to the Abyss.
Because he had the Jerky Bear Head!
If the level of the Gluttony skill was high enough, perhaps he could directly utilize the Black Tide!
Unfortunately, it was just a thought for now. The strength of the Gluttony skill was related to the demon's power, and Intermediate Gluttony only corresponded to those below the sixth rank.
Even if he went there, at most he would just be a side dish for the abyss demons.
Moreover, demons there were as numerous as the hairs on a cow; even a swarm of Lesser Demons below the third rank could potentially wear him down to death.
However, this was a line of thought; perhaps he could give it a try when the opportunity arose in the future.
Once he could use the Black Tide, his strength would undergo a true qualitative change!
After all, he had tried absorbing a wizard last time.
That wasn't just simple energy acquisition, but an all-around improvement; even his Spiritual Power had increased by a level.
Just thinking about it now, he could still feel the terror of it.
However, there were pros and cons; the boost in strength would also result in an equivalent conversion of Power of Corruption.
Even with his current self, he couldn't withstand the erosion of first or second-tier Power of Corruption.
