“Is the human body made this way? Why do I feel it’s a bit weird…?”

Gerrard scratched his head and frowned while looking at the set of skeletons Sui Xiong had made.

This immediately made Sui Xiong angry.

Sui Xiong snapped back, “How can it be weird!? Do you know what I specialize in? Let me tell you, I have drawn more human bodies than you have ever killed! So I can never be wrong!”

“But I still feel like it is not right…”

Sui Xiong was speechless, then he used his tentacles to fetch a skeleton from the distance, put down, and used it as a reference. Then, he inquired, “Look at the skeleton, and compare it to the one I’m making. Don’t you see that they are the same?”

“Isn’t the structure of a skeleton… a bit too fragile?”

Gerrard looked more worried, while watching an almost broken skeleton that was close to him.

Sui Xiong casually shook his tentacles, laughed aloud and confidently boasted, “Trust me, I will use as much material as making a new body needs, and I can assure you that this new body will be hard enough that even an axe could not break it!”

Gerrard recalled the skeletons he saw just now, and grew bit concerned. Then he questioned, “Will it lack elasticity? Because I feel like a skeleton moves very stiffly…”

Sui Xiong was in a daze for a while, thinking carefully before replying, “I can make the bones into more sections, and add more muscle, so it can be flexible.

“As long as it is powerful enough, it will not be a big deal if it looks strange, right?” Sui Xiong asked, and did not give a damn about whatever answer he would receive.

Gerrard finally thought it through, and replied, “You are right, I am already very lucky to be able to live again, so there is no need to be so particular… By the way, please strengthen the muscles.”

“That is easy! You can count on me!” Sui Xiong promised while shaking his tentacles.

Gerrard was very happy. Then he had another idea, and he continued, “Is it easy? Then how about hardening the skin and making it into a natural armor? And also the Darkvision, antitoxic and so on…”

“Hardening the skin is easy, the Darkvision is not difficult either, but the antitoxic is not that easy.” Sui Xiong thought, before replying, “Let me get you a magic antitoxic system.”

“But I can not practice magic,” Gerrard replied in a daze.

“It’s fine, I can teach you.” Sui Xiong laughed.

“Will I be able to practice all the magic you know?”

Sui Xiong thought a while and got an idea, then he confirmed, “As long as I can also make a gemstone for you.”

“…Then what will I be, a human or a warcraft?” Gerrard was confused.

“Anyone who pays too much attention to that is a fool! As long as the new body is good, what is the point of worrying if you are a human or a warcraft then!?” Sui Xiong crowed, while swinging his tentacles in a very cool way.

“…How can I not care about this!? Be sensible, the body structure is clearly a body of warcraft!” Gerrard was totally stunned.

“Do not worry, you will look like a human, apart from your body being a bit bigger than normal.”

Gerrard wormed his way into that body, and he controlled it with his mind. Then, the body began to stand up in a unsteady way.

“…This is way too big,” Gerrard complained when he found that he was so tall that he could even see above the roof.

“Don’t you think it is just the right size? Now, your enemies can no longer recognize you.”

“…Why do I feel like I have been tricked…?” The newborn giant scratched its head nervously, feeling rather complicated. It was hard to tell if it was happy or depressed… But either way, Gerrard Cabannes had indeed come back to life again.

Sui Xiong had made a new body for Gerrard by consuming the nutrition he had stored in his body. This new body was extremely powerful. It could pull out a tree which had the same width of a human’s waist; it could run faster than a flying bird; it could use its arm to stand against an axe; it could see things in the darkness; it could chew wood as if it was chewing a cookie; and it could even eat something poisonous and still be fine… But there was only one problem: a conservative estimate of it’s height was around four meters, which was way too big, and when it stood up, it would be taller than two men stacked together.

Gerrard himself was not satisfied with this body at all, because no matter how he looked at this body, he still felt it was not the body of a normal human. While Sui Xiong thought the big head was okay, which was way smaller than his, he did not make any comment on the new body’s height, since he knew that they would walk side by side in the coming days, and if the new body’s height was much shorter than his own height, it would look too weird.

Since Gerrard came back to life, he was a bit of reserved in front of Sui Xiong, and Sui Xiong thought he was kind of absent-minded.

“I used to live in the sea, so I am not that familiar with the land.” Sui Xiong picked a topic, “I plan to live in a place where there are people. Do you have any recommendations?”

“Any village will be fine,” Gerrard answered, while watching the sky in the east.

It was dawn, and soon the sun would come out. Judging from the sky, it seemed that today would be a sunny day.
