Chapter 20: The Not-So-Practical Transformation Ability
In the spacious study, the bright candlelight flickered, casting long shadows on the walls.
Sunan sat at the desk, engrossed in Extraction and Modification of the Green Chameleon's Abilities.
The chameleon was so named for its ability to change its skin color to match its surroundings.
This physiological change was mainly achieved through the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, which expanded or contracted pigment cells in the skin.
The Green Chameleon's camouflage ability was several levels higher than that of ordinary chameleons, almost reaching invisibility.
Even standing in front of an ordinary person, it would be difficult to spot with the naked eye.
The author of this book had extracted the Green Chameleon's camouflage ability, modified and enhanced it, and then transplanted it into a human body, allowing humans to acquire a similar ability.
It was certainly an ingenious idea.
However, in Sunan's view, the resulting transformation ability wasn't very practical.
Firstly, the essence of this ability was to change one's external appearance based on the environment. No matter how fast the transformation process was, it still required time, inevitably resulting in a slight lag.
Those with less keen senses might not notice, but a wizard apprentice would definitely spot the discrepancy.
