“Elemental body.”
Shu Ke nodded calmly, acknowledging Toulon’s words.
“Elemental body? Should I praise you for your boldness, or should I say that you’re delusional?”
Toulon sighed helplessly, “I’m human, how can a human body transform into an elemental body?”
Humans are naturally born with flesh and blood as one whole body. But the elements were different, they are loose like grains of sand. or even like a combination of small particles.
Therefore, an elemental body could be immune to most physical attacks. For example, injuries like waist fracture or decapitation. They are unbearable for the human body but not to the elemental body—not even considered as minor injuries.

Consequently, countless alchemists had been trying to convert the human body into an elemental body since ancient times. Eventually, they had successfully created an elemental conversion potion.
However, the price of the potion was ridiculously high, regardless of its size.
Even if Toulon went bankrupt, he might not be able to buy a bottle. Most importantly, it doesn’t guarantee its availability regardless of any amount of money.
Simply because it was too rare.
“Elemental conversion potion, this is the only solution I can think of. I have already given you the solution. The next step will depend on you.”
Shu Ke gave him the answer. Whether it was good or not, he did not care.
Seeing this, Toulon did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know what to do.
However, as a Dou-spirit-tier powerhouse, Toulon still had some credibility.
“No matter what, this solution never crossed my mind. I owe you one.”
When Toulon waved as he spoke, a scroll magically appeared in his hand.
“Storage ring?”
Looking at the scroll that appeared out of thin air, a ray of light flashed across Shu Ke’s eyes.
‘This is a must-have for male protagonists in every novel!’
‘It is like a large warehouse that can be carried around . Some of these storage ring could contain a small world.’
“That’s right, but don’t you think about having this. Forget about yourself, only a few people from the whole Vincent family owns a storage ring.”
Toulon laughed. He threw the scroll to Shu Ke immediately. “You went to the treasury to look for a Dou technique, right?”
How could Shu Ke not know that this scroll was a Dou technique manual, especially after hearing these words?
He opened the scroll and it immediately ignited on its own. Then, it transformed into a ray of light and flew into Shu Ke’s mind.
A man whose face could not be seen appeared in Shu Ke’s mind. He was holding a long sword while standing on a battlefield.
This man kept floating around the battlefield like a ghost. The long sword in his hand was like the grim reaper’s scythe. Any opponent that was targeted by him would die unknowingly.
No one even noticed that there was such a terrifying existence on the battlefield.
After that, the image was fragmented like a shattered mirror. The fragments all turned into words and surged into Shu Ke’s mind.
This allowed Shu Ke to have a clearer understanding of this Dou technique and its name.
In reality, Shu Ke slowly opened his eyes.
A thread of sharp light flashed like an unsheathed sword and disappeared from Shu Ke’s body.
‘Wolf Sword Technique.’
A trace of joy flashed across Shu Ke’s eyes. A sword-type Dou technique was the most precious among all types of Dou techniques. It had the strongest comprehensive strength. However, it was also the hardest to learn.
Most importantly, this was a Dou technique that emphasized agility and force. It could be a perfect match with his Infinite Flaw System!
This Dou technique was definitely valuable. Even in the family’s treasury, Shu Ke might not be able to find a Dou technique that suited him this well. It was as if it was tailor-made.
“Not bad.”
Toulon looked at Shu Ke and showed a satisfied look in his eyes. “The Wolf Sword Technique is a tier 3, high-tier Dou technique. It is enough for you until you become a high-tier Dou Master.”
“To be able to grasp the training method of the Wolf Sword Technique in such a short amount of time, you are indeed a genius!”
Toulon had also trained the Wolf Sword Technique before. So naturally, he understood how difficult it was to acquire the basics of this Dou technique.
Yet, Shu Ke was able to master it in such a short period of time. This was enough to show how great his talent was!
“If it wasn’t for a senior’s generosity, I would not have been able to obtain such an exquisite Dou technique.”
While speaking, Shu Ke bowed to Toulon. It could be considered as his way of appreciation towards Toulon for the favor.
“You deserve all of this. No matter what, you have given me a solution. As for the success of the next step, that is my business.”
Toulon waved his hand generously as though he did not take it into account.
‘Your expression is stiff, your tone is slow—you are definitely lying.’
Suddenly, the system’s cold voice sounded by Shu Ke’s ear, frightening him.
‘This is also considered a flaw?’ Shu Ke never thought that Toulon’s tone and attitude could reveal a flaw.
But after thinking about it carefully, he understood.
Everything in the world has its weaknesses. And these weaknesses were loopholes that revealed those flaws.
The same applied to the act of lying. It could be revealed based on slight changes in a person’s tone and expression, so it was considered a flaw.
“You don’t have to worry too much, Toulon. Now that the petrification curse has fused with you, you have developed some resistance.”
“I think your condition will not change much in the next three to four years. During this period, I will definitely help you find the elemental conversion potion.”
With the help of the system, Shu Ke was full of confidence. Therefore, finding a bottle of elemental conversion potion within three to four years should not be a difficult task for him.
‘You brat, you don’t even know how to think through when bragging.’ Toulon did not take Shu Ke’s promise to heart. Instead, he treated it as a joke and ignored it after letting out a laugh.
From his perspective, an elemental conversion potion was a very valuable item. Only those who reached Dou spirit level could come into contact with it.
A mid-tier Dou practitioner could not become a Dou spirit within three to four years. It was completely impossible!
Shu Ke did not explain further. No matter how much he explained, action still speak louder than words.
Toulon would eventually change his mind when Shu Ke put the elemental conversion potion in front of him.
“You’ve already obtained what you want and I have gotten what I want. Then, let’s go—”
Just as Toulon was speaking, an angry shout suddenly sounded in his ear.
“Shu Ke, how dare you! How dare you break into the treasury? You even injured a brother from the same family!!”
A black figure rushed in front of both of them like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, it had already turned into an old man.
“Third elder.”
Upon seeing this person, Shu Ke’s expression became dark instantly.
