I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2319 Obtaining a Kidney

"Meow, meow!" Cat Brother was incredibly bold. He controlled the body of the God Lord and carefully took a few steps forward, extending his paw to gently poke the soft and elastic body of the Kidney Spirit.

The kidney spirit seemed startled by the poke, its body shrinking slightly before letting out a strange roar. The sound was like laughter, yet it carried a hint of eeriness, sending chills down one's spine.

However, despite making such a statement, it did not launch any attack.

"Huh? This kidney spirit has ticklish spots?" Liu Jun looked surprised, his eyes wide open, as if he had discovered some amazing new continent.

Cat Brother stretched out his paw and poked other parts of the kidney spirit. Just like before, it shrank its flesh and made a strange sound.

"Hey, Cat Bro, don't touch it, this thing is pretty weird," Liu Jun said, stopping Cat Bro when he saw Cat Bro brandishing his claws, intending to break the kidney spirit's back.

The cat then reluctantly lowered its paw. Clearly, felines are too curious; it had really wanted to cut open the kidney spirit's skin.

The kidney spirit, however, seemed completely unconcerned about the two's reactions, maintaining its stiff and eerie posture as if waiting for something.

The atmosphere around them grew increasingly tense. Liu Jun and Cat Brother held their breath, cautiously observing the mysterious kidney spirit.

"Well, you can begin the process of recognizing your master now." The voice of AI-powered One sounded again.

What he said left Liu Jun and Cat Brother confused.

Liu Jun and Cat Brother exchanged a glance, their eyes both shining with disbelief. They turned their heads again in astonishment, their gazes fixed on the triangular machine hovering in mid-air, as if to confirm whether they had misheard these unbelievable words.

"I might not have heard you quite clearly, could you... could you say it again?" Liu Jun's voice trembled slightly as he tried to detect a hint of a joke in the tone of AI-powered No. 1.

"I said, you can begin the process of recognizing your master." The lights on the AI-powered system flashed again.

Liu Jun's lips twitched. He pointed to the enormous kidney, then to himself, and asked in shock, "I'm going to acknowledge this giant kidney as my master? Are you sure you're not joking?"

The AI-powered system emitted a soft electronic sound, seemingly mimicking human laughter, but then returned to a serious tone: "Of course not, it's when you drip your blood on it that it will recognize you as its master."

"Why?" Liu Jun was even more puzzled, scratching his head with confusion in his eyes.

Isn't this giant kidney spirit a part of the remains of the ancient god Ru Shou? How did it suddenly become something he could bind with his blood?

The AI ​​patiently explained, "Trust me, as long as you pledge your blood to the master, your strength will more than double. This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your abilities."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun hesitated for a moment. He knew very well how anxious he was to improve his strength. He didn't have much time left, and he already had a sense of crisis.

However, he still found it hard to accept the idea of ​​having to drip his blood to identify a "big kidney" that looked so bizarre as its master.

However, after repeated persuasion from Brain One, Liu Jun finally gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

He carefully pricked his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the thin membrane on the surface of the large kidney.

As soon as the blood touched the membrane, it seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and quickly seeped in.

At the same time, Liu Jun felt a warm and powerful force surging out from Da Yaozi's body and instantly flowing into his own.

He felt his meridians, bones, and muscles being strengthened and enhanced like never before. An unprecedented sense of confidence and power welled up within him.

Seeing the changes in Liu Jun, Cat Brother and AI Number One both smiled with satisfaction. They knew that from this moment on, Liu Jun's strength had reached a new level. And the starting point of all this was that seemingly strange yet mysteriously powerful large kidney.

"Wow, this promotion is awesome!" Liu Jun clenched his fist excitedly, his face beaming with unbelievable joy.

Previously, with the help of the mysterious power of the Golden Spirit Embryo, he absorbed the essence of all the metallic substances in the entire pseudo-No. 1 intelligent brain base.

This immense power strengthened his physical body like never before. The additional boost from the large kidney further amplified his power, propelling him to the peak of the God-King realm.

At this moment, he only needs to overcome one more tribulation to truly become a peak God King, and he will be only one step away from the legendary God Lord realm.

However, just as Liu Jun was immersed in the joy of becoming a top expert, the voice of AI-powered No. 1 was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"Don't be too happy yet, this is only a temporary upgrade." The AI's words carried a hint of seriousness. "To achieve a complete upgrade, you still need to fuse with this big kidney."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun was taken aback. He pointed to the enormous kidney-shaped object and asked with a puzzled expression, "Me, merge with it? This thing is at least five meters tall, how can I merge with it?"

His tone carried a hint of helplessness, clearly finding the suggestion from Brain One somewhat absurd.

Indeed, for an ordinary person who is 1.8 meters tall, how could they possibly merge with a five-meter-tall giant kidney? It's simply unbelievable, like a fantasy. Was he supposed to stuff himself inside? The thought was immediately dismissed; that was utter nonsense! So, if the merging actually started, who would merge with whom?

However, the AI-powered system seemed unconcerned about Liu Jun's doubts and continued, "I don't know, but the data does state that fusion is possible. As for the specific operation, further research is needed."

"Study? How do we study it? By peeling this thing apart?" Liu Jun pointed at the trembling kidney-shaped creature in front of him, his lips twitching slightly, clearly speechless.

The giant kidney demon seemed to understand human speech. It shuddered as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and jumped back repeatedly in fright, its movements filled with terror.

"It's alright, don't panic, we won't actually peel it open for you." Seeing this, Liu Jun found it somewhat amusing and quickly waved his hand to reassure her.

He thought to himself, "Although this giant kidney demon has a strange appearance, at least for now, it is a friend, not an enemy. I can't scare my own allies!"
Intelligent One, standing to the side and gleaming with a ghostly blue light, continued, "Keep searching. There might be a way here to help you fuse with this giant kidney. After all, this power is something you absolutely need."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun nodded, agreeing with Smart One's reasoning. There wasn't a better solution at the moment; forcing it in was definitely not an option, and any adverse reactions would be counterproductive.

So, the man, the cat, the machine, and a large kidney behind them wandered around the depths of the cave, hoping to find some clues.

They explored the cave. The cave walls were covered with stalactites of various shapes, shimmering in the dim light. From the depths of the cave, the occasional dripping of water added to the mystery.

After wandering around deep inside this cave for a while, I have to say, I actually made some discoveries.

In a secluded corner, Liu Jun discovered an ancient stone tablet covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes.

He carefully examined the inscription, trying to decipher its meaning. Meanwhile, Smart One, using its data analysis capabilities, assisted Liu Jun in unlocking the secrets of the stone tablet.

"Huh? Is this supposed to be about kidney spirits?" Liu Jun suddenly pointed to a pattern on the stone tablet and exclaimed with slight excitement.

Although he wasn't very familiar with some ancient divine scripts, he could still read pictures.

This is a pattern that is very similar to the image of a kidney-shaped eel, seemingly suggesting some kind of connection.

With this discovery, AI-powered No. 1 immediately began deciphering the code. Finally, half an hour later, amidst a series of complex rune arrangements, a possible method for fusion was found, and all the ancient divine scripts were translated.

Cat Brother controlled the body of the god and squatted to the side. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, he seemed to sense something when he saw Liu Jun and Smart One's serious expressions. His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

As for the big kidney demon, well, that guy is waiting for them in the distance.

The cave here is too low, less than three meters high. With a guy's size, whether he came in sideways or vertically, he would probably get stuck in the cave.

"It doesn't seem too complicated, just a bit time-consuming." Liu Jun carefully read the ancient divine script translated by the AI-powered system, his brows furrowing slightly, but then relaxing as he pondered for a moment before speaking.

Hidden within these ancient divine texts is a profound array, said to be able to fuse with that magical giant kidney spirit.

Every stroke and line of the formation contains ancient power and wisdom, as if it can connect heaven and earth and influence all things.

It details how to perfectly fuse this giant kidney spirit with the body, multiplying its power and making it invincible.

"As long as the giant kidney spirit stays in the formation with the body to be fused, the fusion can be completed by utilizing the circulation of spiritual energy in heaven and earth," Liu Jun thought to himself.

Setting up formations is a highly skilled task in the realm of gods. And Liu Jun, as a renowned formation master in the realm of gods, is naturally adept at this kind of thing.

Although this formation might seem as complex as a book written in heaven to ordinary people, for Liu Jun it was just a matter of spending more time and effort.

"Let's go, let's find a spacious place outside." Liu Jun stood up and took the lead in walking outside.

The group followed him back to the space where they had first encountered the giant kidney spirit.

The place was spacious and quiet, with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy permeating the surroundings. Liu Jun looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

He took out a large pile of high-grade spirit stones from his storage space, and with skillful and precise movements, he arranged the spirit stones in a specific order and position.

As the formation gradually took shape, the surrounding spiritual energy began to stir, as if drawn by some mysterious force. Gentle breezes blew by, carrying a faint fragrance of spiritual energy that soothed the mind and spirit.

As time passed, the formation was finally completed. Liu Jun stood in the center of the formation, gazing at the mysterious and unpredictable patterns, a surge of inexplicable excitement and anticipation welling up in his heart.

"Hey, you big kidney, you go into the formation too." The AI ​​One floated to the side of the kidney spirit's enormous body, and a mechanical voice sounded.

The giant kidney spirit was tilting its head, seemingly staring intently at the triangular object in front of it that was flashing with strange runes.

A look of confusion appeared on its face, as if its invisible "eyes" were trying to understand the scene before it.
