128 Blade (2/2)

'Alright! I will start with a small blade!' Wuxing exclaimed as he finally stopped wasting time and held onto his arm so that it doesn't move, beginning the operation.

As it was basically impossible to hide his blade or claws inside of his body just as someone tried in the move because his hand would be too stiff to move, his initial plan was to create one outside of his body before connecting it with his arm. He wanted the knife to be part of his body.

Naturally, that was only his theory and everything had to be tested with practice. The first thing he did was surround his wrist with bone cells, creating some kind of support band before making something like a pocket for his blade that went all the way to his elbow. Although it was the rough build, he already knew it would be hard to move his arm with it.

He didn't stop though and instead continued, leaving the adjustments for later. He monitored the battery each time he closed his eyes and found that Devil Face's words were true. Just this much of bone cells ate almost half of his energy. Fortunately, he wasn't looking for a one-time weapon but rather a permanent addition to his arsenal.

'It's going to take a while I guess.' Wuxing thought as he peeled a banana with one hand and gave it a solid bite. He didn't want to lack energy the moment he creates the final blade.

When Wuxing finally started making a blade inside of the pocket, even Devil Face was sceptical about it, saying, 'How about you create something else? This thing is too big for you to carry all the time. Also, it's not cost and time-efficient. You will have to create it next time in the future and it will suck all the energy from you. I doubt you can use it during the selection.'

'It's okay. I'm not only testing the things I can do but also training the control over my ability. You said it yourself. The more I use it, the faster I can evolve. That's exactly what I'm doing right now.' Wuxing explained calmly as he continued to form the blade while munching on a chocolate bar filled with oats.

It took him more than five minutes to finally form the blade and the next five to sharpen it. Only then did he finally let out a relaxed breath and looked at himself in the mirror.

The top of his forearm now had a long sheath that was connected to his body through two bone rings. The whole mechanism was like an extension of his arms as he could basically change everything at any point in time. The two rings were connected with bone cells through his skin right into his bones which created fully stable structure.

The only problem he had was that his arm became too stiff and he couldn't rotate it. He played around with his wrist and suddenly swung with his arm after unlocking the blockage in the sheath. Using inertial force to unleash the blade, the mechanism stopped it in the last moment, holding it in place which gave Wuxing around thirty centimetres of the naked blade.

”Cool!” Wuxing exclaimed as he waved with his new blade a few times, quite proud of himself after seeing the first product of his engineering. He knew it had to be further improved but he was still happy.

He looked for something that he could cut in half and threw a banana into the air before slicing right through it without problems. It felt unnatural but Wuxing couldn't help but laugh, muttering to himself, ”Haha, the future is looking interesting!”
