Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"Rock Body... Transformation."

Chen Chong murmured, clutching the Card, a hint of joy twinkling in his eyes.

The moment the Unihorn Catfish died and he received the Cards, his eyes were immediately drawn to this Ability Card.

Even though he hadn’t used it yet, he knew from the very first moment that this Card was an absolute lifesaver.

The human body was far too fragile. In this Primitive Jungle, many dangers could be fatal, let alone a confrontation with Extraordinary Creatures.

If he had the Rock Body Transformation ability, he couldn’t claim to be invulnerable, but at least he would have some form of defense when danger struck.

It would be invaluable for future hunts, for taking on Extraordinary Creatures, or for facing any other unknown dangers.

This was the ability he needed most at this very moment...

More importantly, the ability from this Card apparently had room to grow.

The duration and hardness of the effect are determined by the user’s strength.

The parameters were a bit vague, but having room to grow was definitely a plus...

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Chong used it.

Just like the others, the Card dissolved into a stream of light and vanished.

Chen Chong felt a warm current surge through his body, followed by a strange sensation on his skin...

He felt his skin; it was the same as before, with no apparent change.

And yet, for some reason, he felt his skin was firmer, more elastic, and a little... smoother.

It was as if he had just used some lotion.

’The ability’s description mentioned it passively grants the user a certain degree of skin toughness. It looks like that was true. So... just how tough is it?’

Chen Chong pulled out his dagger and decided to run a test.

He gently slid the dagger across the skin of his arm. It didn’t leave any mark, and he barely even felt it.

Chen Chong was surprised.

’This dagger came from a C-Class Card. It’s made of Refined Iron and is incredibly sharp. Before, a light swipe was enough to tear a bedsheet, but now it has no effect on my skin?’

’Time to use a little more force...’

As Chen Chong applied a bit more force, the dagger pressed down, indenting the flesh on his arm.

Yet after he pulled the blade away, there was still no wound, only a white mark.

Chen Chong didn’t test it again. He could sense that this was the limit of his skin’s passive resistance against sharp objects.

Any harder, and it would really draw blood.

’The passive toughness isn’t that strong—it won’t stop a sword or an axe—but I can probably ignore scrapes from sharp leaves, thorns, and bug bites in the jungle...’

"Wang Biao, bring that blade over here and give it a try."

Wang Biao, who had been watching Chen Chong’s movements, immediately understood what he meant.

He took the large blade from Jia Wen and walked over.

Chen Chong actively triggered Rock Body Transformation.

In an instant, a gleam enveloped his entire body.

Although the ability was called Rock Body Transformation, activating it didn’t actually turn his body into rock. Instead, its hardness was drastically increased for a short time, making it as hard as a boulder.

Chen Chong now appeared to be giving off a shimmering glow, as if he were covered in sparkling foundation.

"Strike!"

CLANG!

Wang Biao swung, using only a fraction of his strength, and the blade was immediately knocked away.

"Harder!"

This time, Wang Biao used about a third of his strength.

CLANG!

The result was the same. The large blade couldn’t hurt him in the slightest, producing a grating sound as if it had struck stone.

"Harder still! Put some real force into it!"

Wang Biao gripped the blade with both hands. This time, he used seventy percent of his power.

The great blade sliced through the air in an arc, whistling as it came down with a vicious chop...

The immense force chipped and bent the blade’s edge. Seeing this, Jia Wen, who was standing to the side, looked as if he wanted to speak but held back.

Chen Chong, meanwhile, took two steps back, feeling a faint tingling numbness where he’d been hit.

However, aside from the gash torn in his clothes, his body was still completely unharmed.

But this was the absolute limit of what Rock Body Transformation could currently withstand...

Another strike would likely break the skin.

’This defense... it’s incredible!’

Chen Chong was ecstatic. Wang Biao was naturally strong, and he had been further enhanced with a strength buff. Fifty percent of his strength was equivalent to a normal person’s all-out effort, to say nothing of seventy percent.

’It seems Rock Body Transformation can completely block most physical damage.’

’Even if its defensive limit is surpassed, the resulting wound won’t be too severe.’

This was because the ability didn’t just make the skin as hard as rock—it did the same for the flesh and bone beneath.

In other words, even if an attack broke the skin, there was still muscle. And if it cut through the muscle, there was still bone.

To inflict a serious injury on Chen Chong, one would need the power of an Extraordinary Creature; otherwise, it was absolutely impossible...

After the test, Chen Chong didn’t rush to cancel the ability, but instead began to time it.

A little over a minute later.

A wave of weakness washed over him, and the effects of Rock Body Transformation receded.

’Only a little over a minute, huh? That’s enough time in a crisis. I wonder if it will become more durable later on...’

Wang Biao returned the blade. Looking at the countless chips and nicks along its edge, Jia Wen was on the verge of tears.

Chen Chong said apologetically, "I’m sorry I messed up your blade like this. I’ll keep an eye out for any large blade Cards for you and get you a better one."

Jia Wen quickly said, "This blade was a gift from you, sir. Please don’t worry about it. Besides, it’s just a few nicks. After I sharpen it, it’ll still be perfectly usable."

Chen Chong nodded and said no more, but he privately resolved to help Jia Wen find another blade.

With his skill with a blade, being stuck with a crude iron weapon was a waste of his talent...
