The man on the test bench was the training target that Zuo Zhicheng had found for Xu Hongfei.
He was preparing to transplant the second life plexus. The second life plexus was the "Ink Bone". Coincidentally, the owner of the Ink Bone was not found in the Shadow Corps. It was found on a relative of the target.
In this regard, Zuo Zhicheng's luck was pretty good.
The Ink Bone was one of the 81 life plexus of the Ghost Eye Netherworld Heaven, but its main function was to change the structure of the human skeleton. According to Zuo Zhicheng's research and the records in the Daoist scriptures, the Life Cluster Ink Bone mainly secreted a special substance, which might be osteoblasts, to change the process of bone reconstruction in the human body.
For ordinary people, the shape and density of bone tissue would change according to the biomechanical environment. This kind of bone reconstruction was instinctive and uncontrollable. For example, in an area with a higher load, the quality and density of the bone would increase. In an area with a lower load, the quality and density of the bone would decrease.
When the bone was in an unfavorable environment, its shape and density would change abnormally. For example, in a weightless environment, it would cause osteoporosis.
The existence of the Ink Bone made this kind of bone reconstruction controllable.
Among the 200 life plexuses, there were a few other life plexuses that had an effect on the human skeleton. However, the Ghost Eye Netherworld Heaven fate map chose this one because it was the most suitable.
For example, the existence of the Earth Demon would cause the density and strength of the bones to decrease. This could be eliminated through the Ink Bone.
Secondly, the Ink Bone allowed the bones to withstand the greatest force with the least amount of bones when the quality of the bones was low. This allowed the host's bones to be full of toughness.
Other than that, the Ink Bone could even control the bones to undergo rapid bone reconstruction to form various offensive and defensive means.
It could be said that the Ink Bone possessed speed, strength, lethality, and mystery.
However, it was very troublesome to transplant it. This was because the position of the Life Plexus was on the human spine. A section of the spine had to be replaced.
Even with Zuo Zhicheng's control over his body, he was not 100% confident that he could complete the entire transplant surgery alone. Hence, he needed Xu Hongfei's help.
Therefore, in these few days, in addition to the original miscellaneous items and the cultivation of the true martial arts, there was an additional task of learning and practice.
It was obvious that Xu Hongfei's eyes were filled with dark circles. It was obvious that whether it was physical exhaustion or mental pressure, he was unable to sleep during this period.
Looking at Xu Hongfei's trembling hands, Zuo Zhicheng said coldly, "Miss, how long do you want to wait?"
Xu Hongfei seemed to have sensed the coldness in Zuo Zhicheng's sarcastic tone. He gritted his teeth and swung the knife in his hand at Zuo Zhicheng's arm.
"Anesthetics," Zuo Zhicheng said coldly, "Are you trying to kill him?"
"I … I'm sorry."
There was a hint of evil in Zuo Zhicheng's tone. "He's just a prisoner on death row. He doesn't have long to live. Based on his crimes, he deserves to die. Don't feel burdened."
Although Xu Hongfei had practiced his swordsmanship on many small animals before, he still felt extremely nervous when he did it on a human for the first time.
"Relax." Zuo Zhicheng fed the anesthetics into the man's mouth as he comforted Xu Hongfei. "He won't feel anything after he's anesthetized. When he wakes up, the wound will be almost healed, just like what you experienced. He won't be in any danger."
"But if you can't even do such a simple thing, then you're worthless." Zuo Zhicheng looked at him coldly. The coldness that swept over him made the hair on his back stand and goosebumps appear on his skin.
"Last half an hour. Finish the incision and stitch up the wound within half an hour. If you can't even do such a small thing, then jump into the snake's den and die. "
After that, Zuo Zhicheng stopped talking. He looked at Xu Hongfei coldly, waiting for him to make a decision.
Xu Hongfei took a deep breath. There was a flash of calmness in his eyes. He gripped the knife in his hand tightly and approached the man.
Fifteen minutes later, Zuo Zhicheng nodded. He estimated in his heart, "With my current body control and transplant skills, even if it's the spine on my back, I have a 60% chance of success. But if I let this kid familiarize himself with it for a month, then with his help, there will be no mistakes."
Indeed, with Zuo Zhicheng's current body strength, flexibility, and accuracy, it was not impossible for him to perform the surgery on his back with the help of a mirror. However, this was a serious matter. Moreover, the spine was a part of the body that affected the movement of the whole body. No matter how careful he was, he could not be too careful.
After completing today's practice, Zuo Zhicheng sent Xu Hongfei to practice martial arts. Then, he began to prepare for tomorrow's operation.
He stepped out. He felt that his body had become lighter and faster during this period of time. Sometimes, he would accidentally knock over tables and chairs.
It was probably because the Night Sea had already covered his entire body and opened up the Life Cluster network. This allowed the Life Cluster's Disha to grow very quickly.
However, Zuo Zhicheng did not pay attention to this. Recently, the Shadow Corps had gone out in full force and killed a large number of forces from the Underworld Sect. Some time ago, they even destroyed a stronghold of the Underworld Sect that was located in the north of the South Bay, close to the Zhongzhi District.
It was impossible for Zuo Zhicheng to personally go to such an ordinary stronghold. Even the Four Royal Generals would not be involved.
However, during the previous extermination, a powerful Taoist emerged from the stronghold. He used a weapon and killed all the teams sent by the Shadow Corps. Then, he escaped.
According to the information from the Zhongzhi District, the Taoist had fled north into the Zhongzhi District. Then, he wanted to escape to the headquarters of the Underworld Sect. Zuo Zhicheng's mission was naturally to chase after the Taoist and retrieve the mysterious weapon.
However, other than Zuo Zhicheng, many other sects and forces in the Jianghu, as well as the imperial court in the Zhongzhi District, had also made their move. It was obvious that they were very interested in the mysterious weapon.
Zuo Zhicheng was not interested in the mysterious weapon. Instead, he was interested in the Life Cluster on the Taoist.
However, even though Zuo Zhicheng was powerful and was recognized as the leader of the Four Royal Generals, it was impossible for him to be arrogant and conceited because of this. Therefore, he still had to make meticulous preparations like every time he went on a mission.
The Blue Frost Sword, various bottles of medicine, poison, and a crossbow. These were all prepared by Zuo Zhicheng after he saw Qing Yueyang in action last time. Unfortunately, although his marksmanship was good, he was not very good at using a crossbow.
Other than that, there were also some steel wires, ropes, flint, and other things that he placed neatly on the table.
After preparing all these, Zuo Zhicheng flipped through a stack of documents on the table. He repeatedly looked through the information collected by the Shadow Corps to make sure that he did not miss out on any of his preparations.
These preparations were a habit that Zuo Zhicheng had inherited from his previous life. He knew very well that as long as he killed someone, there was no small matter. In particular, the stronger the opponent, the more people there were, the more preparations he had to make. This was the only way he could survive and not be killed by his opponent.
