Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 92 First Attempt, Rhine Silver Mercury!
"Truly worthy of being a top-tier secret agreement..."

Recalling the five newly acquired secret abilities, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Each of these five secret abilities is far more powerful than the original secret technique he mastered after fully understanding the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source—the Holy Spirit Crystal.

Of course, the Holy Spirit Crystal is also useful, since it doesn't conflict with the five secret abilities of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

"I remember Dick Tudor saying that when I first signed the contract, I could only master a maximum of two secret abilities, but why are there five?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment, unsure whether Dick had misremembered or if he himself was exceptionally gifted.

However, he was naturally pleased to have mastered five secret abilities of the Silver Throne right from the start.

Moreover, neither his mind nor his body showed any signs of losing control due to simultaneously mastering five secret abilities.

Aside from the initial moment when I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of high-dimensional knowledge and information, almost fainting...

Based on the information we just obtained, the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, has a total of ten secret contract abilities. The other five can only be mastered by gradually understanding the contents of the secret contract.

But Xia Fa wasn't greedy. The five secret abilities were already enough for him, so he immediately began to examine them carefully one by one.

Rhine Silver Mercury is the most core of the five secret abilities and the foundation of all other secret abilities in the Silver Throne.

Or, to be more precise, Rhine Silver Mercury is the core ability of the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract.

Because he needs to use Rhine Silver Mercury to enter the state of the "Silver Throne".

Moreover, based on the knowledge and information he had just acquired, when he becomes a demigod, an angel, or a ruler, his core ability, Rhine Silver Mercury, will evolve to varying degrees.

But what exactly he will evolve into is something we'll only know once he reaches the demigod level or higher.

Seeing that the living iron powder that filled the air was still there, Xia Fa immediately waved his hand, and an invisible supernatural power surged out from his palm, expanding the "enclosed space" formed by the living iron powder several times.

The live iron powder seemed insufficient, so he took out more from the wooden jar on the table and sprinkled it into the air as a supplement.

After doing all this, Xia Fa took a deep breath, his expression becoming somewhat excited and thrilled.

I... have finally become an Insect-level Transcendent. Although it still sounds weak, it is a big step forward nonetheless.

Moreover, it had only been three days since he signed the last secret agreement.

Compared to those extraordinary individuals who couldn't even fully comprehend the contents of the first secret contract after several years, I'm already much faster.

Now, Xia Fa is preparing to test the core capability of Rhine Silver Mercury!
With a slight thought in his mind, a large number of secret texts flowed through his dark pupils.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded!

Xia Fa clearly felt that a large amount of hot, mercury-like silver mercury suddenly seeped out of his eye sockets, ear canals, and nostrils.

Not only that, but suddenly a crack appeared on both sides of his neck, wrists, and ankles, like a mouth without lips, and... a large amount of silver mercury gushed out!

These mercury crystals possess astonishingly high temperatures, and the moment they emerge, they are immediately accompanied by a large amount of mercury vapor.

Xia Fa truly felt his skin and the muscles beneath it instantly being scalded by the high temperature of the mercury. His skin ulcerated, his muscles were cooked, and the smell of burnt protein immediately filled the wooden house.

But that wasn't all. Massive amounts of mercury continued to gush out from his eye sockets, ear canals, nostrils, wrists, ankles, and both sides of his neck, like a gushing spring, completely engulfing his entire body.

Zizizi!
His skin and muscles sizzled as if being fried in oil, as if they were being thoroughly scalded. The mercury, like living things, crawled onto his face at the last moment, revealing dark red skin beneath the festering sores. Whoosh—!
The moment the mercury completely enveloped Xia Fa's body, a massive amount of mercury vapor erupted, so much so that even the sealed space made of living iron powder could not withstand it and was directly broken through.

The entire room was instantly engulfed in silver and mercury vapor, making it impossible to see anything.

Xia Fa remained motionless, seemingly unaffected by the hellish torture of being enveloped in high-temperature silver mercury.

The misty silver steam began to dissipate, and from within the steam, a three-meter-tall metal humanoid figure appeared.

It's hard to describe the shock this metal humanoid's appearance brings. It looks slender and agile, yet every inch of its body contains terrifying violence. Sharp spikes grow on its shoulders, elbows, and knees, as if it was born for slaughter.

The surface of the metal humanoid figure shimmered with a silvery-white luster, giving it an extremely solemn and imposing appearance, as well as a sense of indestructibility and even unshakeability.

This is an almost perfect metal humanoid, like a supreme god descending to earth, or a powerful demon crawling out of hell to destroy everything in the mortal world.

Suddenly, in the silvery-white steam, the three-meter-tall metal humanoid opened its eyes.

Those were eyes as black as charcoal, yet at this moment, they seemed to carry the majesty of an emperor.

"It's actually like this..."

The three-meter-tall metal humanoid opened its mouth, but it emitted Xia Fa's voice, hoarse as if steel were grinding against each other.

His head was almost touching the ceiling. The enclosed space built by the iron powder had long been broken, but fortunately it all gathered at the window, where it, along with the curtains, blocked any possible prying glances.

Xia Fa raised his hands, looking incredulously at his palms that had transformed into metal claws.

This hand is as big as a fan, and each finger transforms into a sharp claw, like a razor-sharp dagger, capable of cutting through anything that dares to stand in its way.

He looked down at the rest of his body. Yes, that's right, his entire body was encased in metal formed from cooled and solidified Rhine silver mercury.

This metal appears to be created using alchemical techniques, yet it is of a far higher grade than metals produced by alchemy.

Wait... something's not right...

Xiafa suddenly realized something, because at this moment, the Rhine Silver Mercury covering his entire body felt like skin, and he could even feel the touch of a breeze and the heat of steam.

He wasn't equipped with a three-meter-tall silver armor, nor was he piloting a three-meter-tall mobile suit... he had actually transformed into this three-meter-tall metal humanoid!
As if struck by a thought, Xia Fa looked at the folding knife on the bed.

That folding knife with a shark-tooth-like blade, an ebony handle, and steel balls inside the hollow cavity of the back of the blade.

At this moment, this mysterious and powerful sealed object, although transformed from a cleaver into a folding knife, was still full of spirituality. The steel balls inside the cavity vibrated gently at a high frequency, as if celebrating Xia Fa's successful signing of the overlord-level secret contract, or as if conveying a sense of... joy.

Xia Fa picked up the folding knife and suddenly felt that he was more compatible with the sealed object after entering the Rhine Silver Mercury state.

It's hard to imagine the incredible power I would unleash when this sealed artifact is unlocked and transformed into a sword, wielding it in my Rhine Silver Mercury form.

However, Xia Fa is not in a hurry to unravel it into the form of a horse-slaying sword, since he does not yet know what taboos it has as a sealed object.

He simply used its sharpness, as sharp as a blade that can cut through anything.

Xia Fa gripped the ebony hilt of the folding knife in his backhand and slashed it across his silver metal palm.

The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded!
