American comics: Random transformations

Clicking on the charm with the monkey image, the huge figure of Shendu was enveloped in white light. After a series of transformations, it shrunk, shrunk, and shrunk again, turning itself back into Tian Xiaoban.

However, the Omnitrix logo was still on his chest, not on his wrist like when he exited the transformation.

"That's right, the essence of this body is still Shendu. This guy has a lot of good stuff. Can I exploit a bug and keep some for myself?"

Shendu, the Fire Demon from "Jackie Chan Adventures," possesses 12 special abilities, each corresponding to a Chinese zodiac charm: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig!

Those thirteen switches were the abilities of the twelve zodiac charms, plus Shendu's Fire Demon Qi!

Unfortunately, Tian Xiaoban didn't know the magic to strip these abilities. The inherited knowledge in its mind only told it how to use the power within its body.

After turning back into a human, Tian Xiaoban felt his intelligence return: "Emmm... That's right, Shendu is a demon dragon! A dragon's heart... should be usable, right?"

Anyway, Shendu won't die. Digging out a few hearts, taking out a few pairs of lungs, processing them, and keeping them as spellcasting materials should be good!

The problem arose again. Tian Xiaoban didn't know how to preserve the effects of these spellcasting materials!

"Emmm... I got it!" Tian Xiaoban took out his phone again and called the lazy Zatanna.

"Hey! You'd better have a legitimate reason! Otherwise, I'll turn you into a rabbit and let you know the consequences of waking up a lady!"

Tian Xiaoban shivered. The magic in the DC world is coercive. As long as the spell is successful, even a god can be tricked. If Zatanna says she'll turn you into a rabbit, she will absolutely turn you into a rabbit!

"Uh, sorry, Teacher Zatanna. It's still about the question I asked this morning. Let me ask again, can a dragon's heart be used as a magic source?"

"Huh?" Zatanna's originally angry expression turned into confusion. No, where did you encounter a dragon?

She asked suspiciously:

"Are you sure there's a dragon? How come I haven't heard of dragons appearing in any region of the Earth?"

"Uh, this..." Tian Xiaoban said awkwardly, "I transformed into one myself."

A scene appeared in Zatanna's mind: Tian Xiaoban accidentally summoned an otherworldly creature while practicing magic and even defeated it!

"What! You can do summoning magic now? I remember I didn't teach you that!"

"No, according to your explanation, Teacher, this is transformation magic!"

Zatanna was even more confused: "? No way? You transformed yourself! Then why are you talking about a dragon heart! Are you trying to kill yourself! Are you crazy?"

Her words contained both reprimand and worry, fearing that this disciple, whom she thought highly of, would go to extremes.

Tian Xiaoban also heard the other party's concern, so he explained:

"Uh... Teacher Zatanna, this dragon I transform into is immortal. As long as I have enough magic, I won't die.

So it doesn't matter if I take out my heart. I can even take the opportunity to take out a few more internal organs and save them for future spellcasting materials."

These absurd words made Zatanna gasp in shock: "? What!... ! Really?!!!"

"Really," Tian Xiaoban confirmed seriously.

"Where are you? I'll be right there!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement and a hint of impatience! Creatures like dragons are treasures from head to toe!

Tian Xiaoban felt that it was good for Teacher Zatanna to come over. He could ask her to help him modify his base. At most, he would give her a dragon heart.

Ten minutes passed...

A three-meter-high blue magic circle suddenly appeared beside Tian Xiaoban. Zatanna walked out of the teleportation circle, looking at Tian Xiaoban with excitement.

Immediately after, her expression changed a hundred and eighty degrees!

From excitement to astonishment, then to confusion, and finally to anger!

"Are you messing with me! Tian! Xiao! Ban!"

Zatanna almost roared this sentence! To rush over, she had exhausted all the materials of a magic item!

"No, no, no! Don't misunderstand, Teacher, I'm currently in a human form disguised by magic. Otherwise, how could I wait for you in this base!"

Zatanna looked around and found that this was just a rough cave, not Batman's well-renovated Batcave. The lighting here still relied on the [Flash] magic circle.

Zatanna calmed down and asked, "This isn't the Batcave. Did you leave Gotham?"

"Yes, go this way. Let's go outside first and talk as we walk."

Tian Xiaoban talked as he walked, revealing his purpose completely.

By the time they arrived outside the 'Tomb of the Living Dead,' Zatanna had basically understood the current situation.

"So, you want to make a House of Mystery like John's?"

"Well, more or less, but I'm going to name this place: 'Tomb of the Living Dead'!"

... Zatanna rolled her eyes, indicating that she was very speechless.

Since the teacher didn't want to talk, Tian Xiaoban naturally needed to be considerate and change the subject:

"Alright, now let's deal with the dragon's heart!"

Tian Xiaoban used his mind to click on the monkey charm inside his body. White light instantly swept over his entire body. His body twisted and grew larger. When the white light converged.

A giant dragon with greenish-yellow skin that could walk upright appeared in place.

Zatanna's eyes widened, she was shocked!

"Holy crab, this is a dragon? Why does it look different from the illustrations I've seen, and..."

Zatanna's expression was very strange, "And you have a strong smell of hellish sulfur on you. You should be a demon, right?"

The huge dragon head nodded:

"My current form is called Shendu. I'm a dragon-shaped fire demon, so it's normal to have a sulfur smell."

Although it was also a dragon, it was very different from the pure giant dragons she had imagined!

"Alright then, demonic materials are fine too. At least I didn't come for nothing. What are you planning to do? Do you need my help?"

"No need! I can do it myself!"

Shendu's claw placed on its chest, then plunged in fiercely, grabbing the beating heart and pulling it out just like that.

The wound healed instantly after Shendu took out the heart, so fast that it seemed as if nothing had happened.

If it weren't for the heart still beating in its hand, Zatanna would have thought the scene of digging out the heart was an illusion.

The giant Shendu half-squatted down and handed the heart, which was as big as its claw, to Zatanna.

"Teacher Zatanna, don't be in a daze, while it's hot!"

"Ah? Oh!!! Immediately!"

She took out a lot of things from her hat, as if she was setting up some kind of ritual.

After Zatanna finished setting up, she said with a serious expression: "Hua Zhuan Jian Kong, Yin Feng Li Mo!" (Magic Power Seal, Space Transformation)

Twelve layers of special effect magic circles unfolded on the Fire Demon's heart, compressing it again and again, compressing it to the size of a basketball!

This size was the limit, it couldn't be compressed any further. If it was compressed again, it would explode!

Then, she took out many strange powders from her shoulder bag and kept sprinkling them on the heart.

The originally black-red heart began to become crystal clear after sprinkling those powders, as if it had crystallized!

After the spell ended, a basketball-sized red crystal heart appeared in Shendu's hand!

"I have preserved its function of absorbing external magic power and purified its demonic aura! Its energy is enough for you to create a House of Mystery!

Now you just need to put it in a magic matrix that consumes magic power, and it will continuously provide energy!"

Zatanna held the crystal heart with satisfaction, truly very satisfied. She was indeed the youngest and most powerful magic genius in the magic world!

"Then, Teacher, how many more times can you cast spells?"

After witnessing the scene just now, Shendu was filled with the urge to dig out its heart and lungs! In the physical sense!

Zatanna's expression froze: "Huh? Aren't you a demon? Even if a demon can regenerate a heart, it would take two or three months, right!"

"No, the noble horse can dispel all negative states! Injury and recovery are just a matter of an instant!"

Zatanna: "..." What are you saying... Why don't I understand?

"Teacher, you don't need to worry, my heart has already grown back. Let's do it again!"

Zatanna glanced at the materials she had brought and nodded, "Okay, I still have extra materials, I should be able to do it again..."

Before she could finish speaking, another beating black-red heart appeared in front of her!

"Come, Teacher, while it's hot!"

Chapter 37: Only with a warm home can one go further!

The giant dragon kept digging out its heart until the transformation time ended.

Tian Xiaoban turned back into a human again.

Looking at the eight crystal hearts, two blood-red dragon eyes, plus a complete set of 24 sharp dragon teeth left on the ground.

Tian Xiaoban looked at the ground full of "parts" with satisfaction. When he reached out to touch them, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Eight hearts had been made into eight magic sources; two dragon eyes had also become two good magic tools; the complete set of dragon teeth had considerable magic power, but they had not yet undergone magic carving. Zatanna had only simply processed them to prevent the magic power in the teeth from being lost.

Zatanna looked at the pile of magic-filled materials, her eyes shining.

Tian Xiaoban said with a smile, "So, as we discussed before, give Teacher two magic hearts! As for the other magic hearts, help me renovate my 'Tomb of the Living Dead.'"

Zatanna quickly accepted the two top-grade magic sources that could continuously supply magic power. She nodded with great satisfaction and said,

"No problem, with these six magic sources supplying the 'Tomb of the Living Dead,' this base can be equipped with many safety measures. With my help, it can definitely be transformed into the most excellent magic tower!"

"Hahaha, okay Teacher, let's start!"

The two of them began to renovate the base together.

Tian Xiaoban was responsible for stating the requirements, while Zatanna was responsible for the renovation.

.........

Colorful magic circles began to shine on the ground!

Zatanna used space magic to expand the internal space of the 'Tomb of the Living Dead.' The 420 square meter space was instantly expanded tenfold, becoming 4200 square meters!

The load-bearing walls that were originally built became the barriers separating this huge space!

Zatanna modified the [Flash] magic circle on the wall.

She connected the [Flash] magic circle to the ceiling at the top of the internal space. This allowed the space magic and flash magic to use the crystal dragon heart embedded in the ceiling as their energy source.

One crystal dragon heart was used, leaving five.

Next, Zatanna began to renovate the living environment. Layers of nature magic were carved into this space by Zatanna, causing the environment here to undergo earth-shattering changes.

Under the fluctuations of nature magic, grass and forests quickly sprouted on the rocky floor. The [Flash] of the magic dragon heart became their sun!

With the photosynthesis of plants, the oxygen content in the internal space instantly increased.

To maintain this suitable living ecosystem, just one crystal dragon heart above wasn't enough, so one crystal dragon heart was used, leaving four.

Zatanna took two crystal dragon hearts and left the internal space of the 'Tomb of the Living Dead,' coming outside.

A huge magic circle, centered on her, quickly spread out, covering the entire hilltop almost instantly.

This entire mountain was enveloped by a magic barrier, and the spatial nodes of the space magic completely covered the entire mountain. The moment the coverage was complete, the two crystal dragon hearts in Zatanna's hand turned into liquid and entered the mountain!

This caused the entire mountain to vibrate, vibrating rhythmically like a heartbeat. With the edge of the magic circle as the cutting line, the entire mountain flew up under the influence of the massive magic power!

The magic circle on the mountain flashed, and along with the base inside the mountain, it disappeared into another dimension, leaving a large pit several thousand meters in diameter.

Zatanna snapped her fingers, and the mountain that had entered the other dimension returned to its original place, merging with the large pit, as if it had never disappeared.

"Excellent! The exterior is done! I'll have to make one of these magic towers myself in the future!"

Tian Xiaoban walked out of the base at this time. Looking at Teacher Zatanna's satisfied and happy expression, he felt a lot of emotion!

She was indeed a mage with a magic heritage. Her work was reliable. The base Tian Xiaoban had painstakingly built before was not as practical as what Zatanna had casually put together.

She could create a habitable magical secret realm with just two magic sources, and also give the 'Tomb of the Living Dead' the ability to escape into another dimension.

The level of this place suddenly rose!

Whether for escaping or hiding, the spatial movement ability of this secret realm is truly practical!

Zatanna handed the remaining two crystal dragon hearts back to Tian Xiaoban and said,
