Based on the method Ice Tornado and Big Buck told him, Meng Chao first twisted the lids of a few plastic soda bottles and mixed a few bottles of energy medicine, bone strengthening medicine, and tempering medicine together. Then, he carefully sprinkled in a pinch of insect powder that would stimulate the medicine's activity.
The colorful secret medicine that looked like thick oil immediately began to boil and spurt out hot currents. Small fireworks were even blossoming on the surface of the liquid.
Meng Chao did not even blink. He tilted his head back and drank the bowl of suspicious-looking liquid in one go.
Then, he stuffed a few golden milk cubes that were filled with energy into his throat.
One of the milk cubes even had a totem beast core embedded in it.
These things flowed down his throat and into his internal organs like magma.
It caused all his pores to expand to their limits and spew out steam like an old train.
Then, Meng Chao made another bowl of boiling medicine.
Then, he sprinkled the secret medicine that was emitting a faint fluorescent light on the Totem Armor fragment without leaving a single drop behind.
Then, something strange happened.
Even though the surface of the totem armor was as smooth as a mirror …
However, the medicinal liquid did not flow along the curved armor and onto the ground.
Instead, it was quickly absorbed by the totem armor fragment. Not a single drop fell to the ground.
Once the totem armor was full of spirit energy, it shone with a dazzling light in the darkness of the abandoned drainage pipe.
It squirmed slowly like the shell of some creature, and a few silver metallic tentacles came out of the edges to invite Meng Chao.
This time, Meng Chao did not reject it.
He sucked in a deep breath, extended his right hand, and grabbed a totem armor fragment.
He also activated his vitality magnetic field to the max in an attempt to resonate with the power contained in the armor fragment.
He meditated on his spirit meridians. They were like neural networks that were growing madly. Invisible "nerves" pierced through his skin and wrapped around the armor fragment, allowing his limbs and the totem armor to connect together perfectly.
When all the armor fragments had completed the unbelievable "connection", the armor fragments were connected.
They suddenly melted from the sharp and angular armor into round liquid metal.
Then, it wrapped around his right arm, right shoulder, right chest, and right face.
Like quicksilver spilling onto the ground, it quickly spread all over his body. Finally, it covered and protected his upper body.
The totem power that came from millions of years ago flowed through his spirit meridians and enveloped his vitality magnetic field before surging into his brain.
In an instant, Meng Chao felt pain that could not be described with words.
It was as if someone had extracted all of his blood and marrow.
Instead, it was replaced by a super alloy that was heated to a temperature of several thousand degrees.
If it were not for the fact that he had experienced pain that was one hundred times worse than this when he returned to the apocalypse and fought against Lu Siya, he would not have felt it.
In the first stage, he would probably lose his mind from the pain and be at the mercy of the totemic armor.
While the bio-liquid alloy was performing earth-shaking modifications on his body, the tremendous information hidden deep inside the totemic armor surged into his brain through his spine like a ferocious beast and started wreaking havoc.
Meng Chao felt dozens of completely different memories surging into his mind.
The clearest part was from the perspective of "Big Buck", when he was putting on the Prosthetic Totem Armor, when he was fighting brutally on the arena, or when he was sweating profusely in the training field, when he was doing all kinds of crazy training.
The slightly more blurry ones were the scenes of eight Ox Head Warriors with different appearances swinging all sorts of strange-looking heavy weapons while they fought nonstop on the corpse-strewn battlefield. They crushed the high-grade orcs from other races or the Knights of the Holy Light who were shrouded in balls of light and looked like huge fireflies into mincemeat or shredded them to pieces.
However, the end of all the scenes was when the Ox Head Warriors were surrounded by enemies and fell on the battlefield in the most devastating manner possible.
And in the most blurry and ancient scenes, Meng Chao even noticed that "he" had turned into a huge bull-shaped monster. Even when he was surrounded by dozens of rat people and five human warriors, he still charged forward and roared nonstop. When the last drop of blood flowed out of his body, he fell with a bang.
All the memories pierced through his cerebral cortex like whistling bullets.
They made it seem as if they had happened yesterday, and they were very vivid.
They included being surrounded by enemies dozens of times their number, being poked full of holes by dozens of longspears surrounded by holy light, and having his eyeballs explode. His cheeks were sticky, and the pain that seeped into his bones was completely preserved.
Meng Chao understood now.
'These … are the memories of the previous master of this totemic armor, the one before that, and the one before that.
'Ice Storm mentioned that the totemic armor can store the fighting skills and killing experience of the wearer, so the moment the human warriors who are not familiar with certain weapons and tactics are put on the totemic armor, they will become powerful fighters.
'So, it's a method similar to memory duplication. It's similar to the heroic spirit users in Dragon City. It's amazing!
'But the memories of the previous masters are also duplicated and stored.
'That's not good.
'Aside from people like me who have gone through the destruction of the apocalypse and are determined to contribute to all of humanity, even if normal human warriors aren't afraid of death, they won't be able to calmly endure the attacks of eight or even a few memories of death at the same time.
'It's no wonder why those people turned into Origin Warriors who are neither humans nor ghosts!'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he gained a general understanding of the principle behind the power of the totemic armor's inheritance.
But at that moment, it seemed to have "detected" that there was a slight difference between his genes and the genes of high-grade orcs.
The totemic power, which had already stabilized, suddenly surged again.
The shadows of the previous masters of this armor appeared in Meng Chao's mind, and at the same time, they turned into monstrous demons.
The fighting memories also turned incredibly real. In fact, they surpassed reality and brought him illusions that were one hundred times more painful and terrifying.
They dragged Meng Chao's consciousness into a battlefield that looked both real and illusory!
'This is …'
'After the biological liquid metal surged into my body, it connected to my neural network and stimulated my cerebral cortex, creating illusions that are hard to distinguish between real and fake?'
Meng Chao laughed coldly in his heart.
If this had happened one and a half years ago, he might have been really shocked.
But after fighting fiercely against the Supernatural Entity Tree of Wisdom, the mastermind of monsters, and Mother 01, he was already very familiar with this trick of stimulating his neural network and brain cells to create illusions.
At the end of the day, it was just something left behind by Mother 01.
Even the real mother, which was a parasite in Lu Siya's body, could not stop him.
It was just a broken armor and a few ferocious souls. So what?!
'After you realize that I'm not from Turanians, you want to use this method to test whether I have the right to wear the totemic armor?
'Then … I'll give it a try!'
Golden light shone in Meng Chao's hands, and it gradually gathered into a Golden Tooth Bloody Soul with golden chains wrapped around it.
Even though he had left the real Golden Tooth Bloody Soul in Dragon City.
However, since this was an illusion created through his neural network and cerebral cortex, he was the real and only ruler of this illusion.
Forget about the Golden Tooth Bloodsoul Saber, he could even imagine a railway gun.
Therefore, when the ancient fierce souls hidden in the depths of the totemic armor screamed, roared, and pounced on him with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Meng Chao stirred up a golden storm in his mind.
"This is my body!
"This is my brain region!
"Any power that comes here must fuse with my will, submit to my control, and listen to my commands!
"You can either become a part of me and change this crazy world with me, or you can become a part of me.
"Or, let me burn all the vile souls with the most violent flames of spiritual energy, burn the totem armor into garbage, and bury the garbage into the feces from hundreds of years ago at the deepest part of the forsaken sewer!"
As Meng Chao roared, he controlled the golden sandstorm and tore the ancient, fierce souls to shreds.
Every time they were split into pieces, these vile souls would reform.
But Meng Chao noticed that after they reformed, they would usually be thinner than during the previous battle. Their auras would also be weaker.
In the end, after Meng Chao crushed the fierce souls for the ninth time, they stopped gathering together. Instead, they turned into golden sparks, and each spark turned into a cuneiform. They formed a surging stream of information that gushed down Meng Chao's vision like a waterfall.
The illusion shattered like a shattered mirror.
The ancient battlefield vanished into thin air.
Meng Chao returned to the sewer, which was so dark that he could not even see his fingers.
As he stared at the shining cuneiforms in front of him, he knew that he had already gained control of the totemic armor.
Just as he expected, when he lowered his head to look, he noticed that the totemic armor had already tightly wrapped around his upper body.
The totemic armor seemed to have the ability to adjust its form based on its owner's size and fighting style so that it could perfectly fit its owner.
When Big Buck wore the fierce-looking and angular armor, when it came to Meng Chao, even though the bull's head on his chest and the horned scimitars on his arms remained.
But the arc of the armor itself became even more subdued and gentle.
Not only did the originally protruding bull's head on his chest protrude slightly, a lot of the characteristics of a bull's head were removed. Only the highly abstract concept remained.
The two horned scimitars also became thinner and more flexible. Once they were bent slightly, they could be placed into the grooves on the gauntlets, which greatly increased the armor's concealment. It could also avoid unnecessary trouble when he moved around in complicated terrain.
Even the armor's main color had changed from a domineering bright color to a dull black that did not reflect light. It looked like a slightly swollen shadow, and it suited Meng Chao's characteristics as a Ghost Assassin even more.
