Chapter 117: Fusion! 3x1 Form! The Little Paper Man's Three-Sword Style!

Chapter 117: Fusion! 3x1 Form! The Little Paper Man's Three-Sword Style!

It's done?!

Even Su Ping was momentarily stunned, gazing incredulously at the sword blade in his hand.

Paper Body Assembly had actually appeared!

This skill, which had never been recorded, had never been seen before in the little origami figure, and yet it had just manifested?

Su Ping slowly exhaled, not rushing to experience this sudden success, but instead using True Eye to carefully examine this paper sword!

This Paper Body Assembly skill was so mysterious; it must be more than just a simple skill.

In fact, it was indeed more than that.

After True Eye observed the paper sword before him, the feedback it provided left Su Ping slightly dazed.

【Origami Figure (Wild) (3x1 - Paper Sword Form)】

【Attribute: Undead】

【Current Level: Common Fourth Rank】

【Species Potential: Common Tenth Rank】

【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Beginner), Paper Body Assembly (Beginner)】

That was all.

However, this feedback caused Su Ping's eyes to narrow slightly once more.

Normally, even if the assembly was truly completed, and Su Ping's True Eye observed this paper sword, it should have transformed into the individual transformation form of the origami figure.

But in True Eye's observation, this origami figure had transformed into the so-called 'Paper Sword Form'! It had become the so-called '3x1' state? In other words, after Paper Body Assembly merged the origami figures into this paper sword form, True Eye's judgment determined that the current origami figure, which was originally three companion beasts, had actually transformed into one companion beast.

Su Ping slowly picked up the sword, and something even more unexpected happened.

On the sword blade, an extremely blurred face appeared.

It was the characteristic abstract face of the origami figure.

"Huff...huff..."

A meaningless sound was emitted, but Su Ping could sense the excitement within it.

Su Ping was stunned again.

Compared to the origami figure still standing over there, making the 'Ababa' sound, the fact that it could express its emotions already indicated its uniqueness!

In other words, was his absurd guess actually true?!

After the paper body assembly, even the origami figure's soul seemed to have completed the assembly, enhancing its consciousness and self-awareness?

Amazing!

It was truly amazing.

In addition, Su Ping also quickly noticed the other changes.

Level change!

These three origami figures were two Common Second Rank and one Common Third Rank, not very high in level.

But after the assembly was completed, these three little paper figures that transformed into the paper sword form had their levels increased to Common Fourth Rank.

The increase was not significant, but their combat power was definitely stronger than before! Su Ping could feel the sharpness and keenness of this paper sword.

Su Ping was not in a hurry to give it any commands, but instead eagerly looked at this special Paper Body Assembly skill.

【Paper Body Assembly (Beginner): One of the origami figure's exclusive skills, used in conjunction with 'Paper Body Folding'! Can assemble with other origami figures, with effects including level increase, soul integrity, and more.

Current Form: Paper Sword (Common)】

(Note 1: Paper Body Assembly has its own judgment, and the assembled objects must meet the basic rules to achieve the assembly effect.)



(Note 2: When contracting an origami figure, other origami figures that assemble with the contracted origami figure can also be placed in the Beast Taming Space, and during the paper body assembly process, you can choose to apply the feedback of spiritual enhancement to the contracted origami figure or all assembled origami figures!)



(Note 3: After the origami figure completes the assembly, it can quickly disassemble and reassemble.)



Su Ping had never seen such a simple skill for a common species.

Indeed, the saying in the companion beast world was true!

The weaker the companion beast, the greater its potential; the lower the rank, the more diverse its evolution.

This origami figure, once considered a disgrace to the undead companion beasts, had, at this moment, after completing the most basic and foundational assembly, and obtaining the most fundamental new species skill, seemed to have been infused with a perfect rebirth!

There was so much to research with this skill!

Even with Su Ping's abilities, he felt a surge of confidence. Perhaps he could use this skill to create an even more advanced evolution of the origami figure!

After all, with his beast taming knowledge, he could sense that this true core skill, with its immense potential, could lead to further advancements.

This was just three origami figures forming a paper sword, and it had already increased the levels of three Common Rank origami figures.

Additionally, it also possessed some abilities of sword companion beasts.

So, could it be possible to assemble thousands or even tens of thousands of origami figures into a giant paper sword giant?

A paper Gundam?

However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Su Ping.

It wasn't impossible, but there were many difficult problems to overcome.

It couldn't be done at the moment.

First, Paper Body Assembly wasn't just about creating an outer shell.

This assembly must satisfy the corresponding basic rules.

In other words...

This Transformers-like assembly, from the inside out, with internal gears and external joints.

Every tiny gear, if it needed to be transformed by the origami figure, would have to be designed by Su Ping,

Not to mention a giant robot.

Even a humanoid robot would require countless parts.

The paper sword, on the other hand, was simple, requiring only three components: the sword blade, hilt, and guard.

That was it.

But the giant body of the Gundam, requiring tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of origami figures to assemble, would be a challenge even with ten copies of Su Ping's brain, to quickly create such a thing in a short time? After all, starting from the parts...

Moreover, the fusion of paper into a human-like combat form didn't seem to offer much in terms of combat power.

Contrary to what one might expect, this was the perfect opportunity to showcase the effectiveness and power of the paper sword through simple transformations.

However, this was just the beginning. In the future, when he publicly reveals the capabilities of the origami puppet, countless Beastmasters will surely refine and perfect it.

As for how to further demonstrate the power and effects of the assembly right now, Su Ping already had an answer almost immediately.

He would use the nesting doll and enhance the 'parts' of the origami puppet.

The former needs no explanation; Su Ping's primary focus was on enhancing these parts.

The parts themselves were origami puppets that had comprehended 'Paper Body Assembly.'

In other words, by enhancing the power of the origami puppets, or even allowing the origami puppets that had comprehended Paper Body Assembly to evolve, it would be enough!

It seemed simple, but the evolution of origami puppets was the most significant challenge for all Undead Beastmasters.

As mentioned earlier, the only known evolved form of origami puppets was the deformed Armor Paper Man.

After becoming an Armor Paper Man, they couldn't use Paper Body Folding, and without the ability to fold, they couldn't assemble, making it a useless evolution.

Su Ping already had a plan in mind.

Just as the senior Undead Beastmaster Mu Yu had said before.

Regardless, the first step was to increase the soul depth of the origami puppets and improve their cultivation realm.

After all, in the cultivation theory, there were no examples of basic companion beasts evolving at lower ranks.

At the very least, they needed to reach the upper limit of their species potential to evolve.

Su Ping picked up the paper sword, which was less than three feet long.

He swung it lightly, and a clear sword mark appeared on the ground.

The portion of the greenstone couldn't hinder the transformation into the paper-like Paper Sword.

Su Ping smiled.

"Disassemble!"

He issued the command through spiritual communication.

If it weren't for the previous fusion, these three origami puppets would never have understood the meaning of his words. Their souls were too thin, and their consciousness and self-awareness were no different from the insects on Earth in their previous life, which only knew how to follow their racial instincts.

However, after the fusion, they could slightly understand the meaning of spiritual communication!

Instantly, starting from the sword blade, this time without Su Ping manually disassembling it, the rigid sword body slowly softened, like a soft carpet unfurling, and fell to the ground.

Then, it transformed back into the previous origami puppet's appearance.

The sword hilt and blade transformed from a Paper Sword into the previous origami puppet's shape, completing the assembly in just three breaths!

'Ababa...'

Su Ping blinked as he looked at the three origami puppets that had returned to their original forms.

He activated True Eye once again:

【Origami Puppet (Wild) (Base State)】

【Attribute: Undead】

【Current Level: Common Second Rank】

【Species Potential: Common Tenth Rank】

【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Beginner), Paper Body Assembly (Beginner)】

Indeed, they had returned to their original forms.

Before he could think further, suddenly, the long-silent Divine Beast Codex began to slowly flip through his mind.

Then, the pale origami puppet illustration lit up, and at the bottom of the codex, on the log record, a special log prompt appeared that the origami puppet hadn't had before:

【Discovered and interacted with Origami Puppet, intimacy requirement met, Codex level experience +103!】

【Discovered and cultivated a special racial skill of Origami Puppet: Paper Body Assembly, Codex level experience +100 points!】

【Origami Puppet Codex experience: 617/500! Experience meets the requirements for codex upgrade, upgrade?】

Was the experience sufficient? Su Ping was slightly startled but also smiled. This made sense; discovering Qianyi alone had already given him 350 points of experience.

For the 500 points of experience required to upgrade the Codex from LV1 to LV2,

it was indeed not much.

【Yes!】

With a thought, the origami puppet codex in front of him turned green, just like the previous Spirit Wolf.

The entire codex, originally pale, was now tinted with a touch of green.

Soon, this green color replaced the previous white codex.

This also indicated the successful upgrade of the Origami Puppet Codex.

As expected, the Divine Beast Codex didn't disappoint Su Ping. After reaching LV2, it provided him with a direct feedback:

【'Origami Puppet' Codex level increased, current codex level: 2, obtain the original reward: Connection Sharing (Origami Puppet)】

【Connection Sharing (Origami Puppet): A capability derived from the Divine Beast Codex, allowing connection and sharing with Origami Puppets that meet the intimacy requirement and are included in the codex. Connected Origami Puppets share skill training, skill usage, and skill enhancement experience.】

(Note: This effect is shared with other codexes that have activated Connection Sharing.)



Su Ping breated a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, this Connection Sharing ability was far more valuable than any other potentially problematic rewards.

The Connection Sharing ability was indeed practical, and now he could further improve his training skills.

The most straightforward evolutionary requirement was the cultivation realm and skill level.

Paper Body Assembly was undoubtedly the top priority for evolution.

With the help of the Origami Puppet LV2 Codex's effect, Su Ping could feel the closeness between these three origami puppets and himself.

Then, Su Ping thought for a moment and directly communicated with the three origami puppets through spiritual communication:

"Combine! Form the Paper Sword shape!"

This time, without the previous complexity, Su Ping didn't have to spend half a day assembling them.

The three origami puppets effortlessly began their transformations and deformations.

This time, they transformed into corresponding parts, then floated and assembled themselves.

The entire process took less than five seconds!

The little origami puppet watched its fellow origami puppet transform, seeming to understand something, and blinked curiously.

Su Ping also glanced at the little origami puppet.

The little origami puppet was his companion beast, and the evolution of the origami puppets was primarily to serve the little origami puppet.

Regardless of combat strength or experimental nature, the little paper man, Xiao Zhi Ren, should also undergo this transformation.

But what should Xiao Zhi Ren be transformed into?

Obviously, a sword is the best choice!

Su Ping hasn't forgotten that within Xiao Zhi Ren's body lies the Sword Intent Essence, which gave birth to the Sword Spirit.

This Sword Spirit possesses an incredibly powerful effect.

At the Overlord Rank, one can comprehend the super-tier skill: Sword Intent!

However, according to the Sword Spirit in the secret realm, if Xiao Zhi Ren's body doesn't evolve, it won't be able to reach that level, and it won't be able to fully utilize the Sword Intent Essence.

Yet, there's a problem with this transformation!

Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi is not an ordinary origami figure!

He is a mutated origami puppet that has merged with the Sword Spirit.

If one must say what sets him apart from all other origami figures,

it's not the mutated skills and abilities, but the fact that he has a complete soul that can form self-awareness and cognition without the need for assembly!

In this situation, can Xiao Zhi Ren still complete the assembly?

The correct version is available on 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar first release of this novel.

A thoughtful look flashed in Su Ping's eyes.

Suddenly, he realized, why the heck did his two companion beasts, after undergoing special mutations, make his cultivation process so much more difficult?

But no matter what, he has to give it a try.

With this thought, Su Ping's mind moved, and he turned to look at Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi.

(｀Д):

"Wow!? (Is it coming!?)”

One hour later.

Qian Yi emerged from the loose Paper Sword, returning to his original form.

It was a failure.

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.

Looking at Xiao Zhi Ren and the Paper Swords formed by the other two origami figures, not only Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi, but even the other two origami figures, failed to comprehend and become the three-in-one Paper Sword state, nor did they comprehend the racial skill 'Paper Body Assembly'.

As expected, his thoughts were correct.

The biggest difference between Xiao Zhi Ren and the other origami figures is that his essence is a complete soul.

Paper Body Assembly is not just about assembling paper bodies; it's also about connecting souls.

With this connection, Xiao Zhi Ren is like a 4090 graphics card in an old computer, making a successful connection impossible.

Even this analogy falls short of describing the gap between the two.

Under Su Ping's gaze, the remaining seven origami figures once again assembled into Paper Sword forms.

This combination is not a permanent bond.

The previous three origami figures can also assemble with the later origami figures that formed the Paper Sword.

There are absolutely no obstacles.

Obviously, as long as the origami figures comprehend the skill 'Paper Body Assembly' and possess the 'Paper Sword Form' within that skill, they can perfectly assemble at any time and place.

Ten origami figures, if they wish, can quickly assemble into three Paper Swords.

However, the joy brought by this great discovery gradually faded as new doubts arose, leaving Su Ping immersed in thought.

Su Ping now understands that if possible, his next beast companion would never choose a mutated beast companion.

This little guy is completely giving himself a hard time!

Although mutated beast companions have higher potential and greater limits due to their mutations, and may even have unique and unprecedented evolutionary forms.

But this difficulty is also huge.

If it weren't for Su Ping's cheating, he wouldn't have the confidence to smoothly evolve Xiao Qing and Xiao Zhi Ren.

This problem has indeed stumped him.

Su Ping has great confidence.

If this discovery is made public, it could cause a stir throughout the entire Dragon City, and even the entire Megalopolis.

A brand new beast companion blue ocean will emerge.

Its influence may even surpass that of the Thousand Wood Wolf!

But he's not doing charity.

Researching origami figures is for the improvement of his own Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi.

It's clear that Su Ping's thoughts are making Qian Yi a bit frustrated. The little guy looks at the distant swords with longing, and his pitiful appearance makes one want to laugh and feel helpless at the same time.

"Alright, alright, Qian Yi may not be able to become a sword, but we can use swords! Paper Sword Number One, assemble!"

Su Ping smiled slightly, unable to bear seeing Xiao Zhi Ren struggling for most of the night without any results. With a single command, the three origami figures in the air transformed into a Paper Sword and slowly approached Qian Yi.

Qian Yi suddenly became spirited, and this large Paper Sword was much more fun to wield than the small dagger at his waist!

At that moment, in the basement, Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi let out a 'Wow!' as he gripped the Paper Sword. With a swift slash, a golden light shone on the blade, and the Paper Sword seemed even faster and sharper in Qian Yi's hands!

The Sword Spirit from the Fengdu Sword King was right; with the support of the original Sword Intent, Qian Yi had an almost innate control over the sword.

He could master any sword in an instant, and if he had the opportunity to learn sword techniques, he would likely do so swiftly.

Unfortunately, Su Ping couldn't find a way to activate the 'Sword Soul Mark' within Qian Yi's body to obtain the super-tier skill 'Sword Intent'. Even now, the progress of his research is stuck on the little guy's body.

"Wow! (Slash!)"

"Wow! (Thrust!)"

"Wow! (Poke!)"

"..."

"..."

"Wow! (This is the true swordsman!)"

"Wow! (The strong do not fall at the first sign of setback; they only become stronger because of setbacks!)"

Xiao Zhi Ren's excitement and passion seemed endless.

Su Ping held his chin, listening to Qian Yi's words about swordsmen, loneliness, and high-level cultivation, while also thinking of a solution.

However, Su Ping suddenly frowned, watching as the little paper man practiced swordplay with the dummy.

That was the dummy made of hundred-forged fine steel, which cost Su Ping several hundred thousand.

It had no other use but to be sturdy, and it was clear that the value was worth it.

Even with the enhancement of the Golden Blade Technique, the little paper man's slashes couldn't leave many marks on it.

Looking at Qianyi, Su Ping had a special idea in his mind.

However, this idea was vague, and for a moment, Su Ping couldn't fully grasp the essence of this thought.

But the tireless and tireless figure of Qianyi in front of him made Su Ping's thoughts and images in his mind become increasingly clear.

Su Ping suddenly turned his head and looked at the origami figures that were still in their original positions. With a command, he said:

"Paper Sword 2, Paper Sword 3, combine!"

'Swish!'

The origami figures quickly transformed and combined, and in front of Su Ping, they once again became two pale paper swords.

"Qianyi!"

The little paper man's slashing motion stopped abruptly. Despite his small stature, only forty centimeters tall, holding a paper sword of the same size, he looked somewhat awkward.

But at this moment, Su Ping didn't have time to worry about such things. In his eyes, the flames of determination rekindled.

It was clear to Su Ping that he had hit a dead end!

What was the little paper man?

It was the most special soul born from two Holy Spirit-grade resources.

It was a sword spirit with immense potential, and this sword spirit power enabled the little paper man to undergo such a mutation.

But this transformation was far from over!

He wanted the little paper man to merge and connect with these ordinary origami figures, which were considered a disgrace to the undead species.

Wasn't that just being foolish?

What the little paper man should do is not to connect with these origami figures, but to utilize them in a more advanced way!

In the depths of his mind, Su Ping felt that his idea was in harmony with the combat method of a large number of origami figures.

Origami figures were different from his own Little Qing and the Forest Wolf Pack.

Currently, Little Qing had undergone a toxic species mutation and gained the ability of the Poison Flower, showing signs of developing towards the 'Tree World Descent' based on the 'Thousand Wood Wolf'.

But in this process, Little Qing's influence was not indispensable, at least not yet.

However, Qianyi was different!

Qianyi was irreplaceable compared to the other origami figures!

And now, Su Ping wanted to see if it would be as he had thought.

The little paper man looked at his master.

And in his master's hand, there were already two more swords!

"A true swordsman can wield more swords, face more complex situations, and deal with more formidable enemies! Qianyi, do you have the confidence to achieve this?"

"Wow? (Two swords?)"

Qianyi lowered his head again and looked at the other sword in his hand.

With this additional sword, could he wield three swords at once?

Qianyi's mouth twitched:

Q(`√Q)



The quirky swordsman Qianyi muttered softly:

"(Wow...) It seems like there's finally going to be a challenge..."

Then, under Su Ping's gaze:

Qianyi's face changed, and it was a genuine change:

'A'

On his cheek, the rare poker face reappeared.

Had this little guy not forgotten this abstract poker face?

What surprised Su Ping even more was that this little guy had unknowingly mastered the drawing of the Ace of Spades! At this moment, the little paper man's face was the Ace of Spades!

A poker face for a swordsman?

Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but hold his breath.

Then, under Su Ping's gaze.

Before Su Ping could react, the little paper man directly took the two paper swords.

But the original paper sword fell to the ground.

It was clear that the little paper man's body was too small, even smaller than a regular origami figure, and the paper sword was made from three origami figures, so its blade was longer than the little paper man.

Not to mention holding two swords in his palms.

Just as Su Ping was about to speak and retrieve one of the paper swords, Qianyi took action!

Without hesitation, he pierced his own chest with a paper sword! The sword stood straight in his chest, and then the tip of the sword slightly dulled. This three-in-one paper sword seemed to understand Qianyi's intention, as the blade of the paper sword that pierced his chest connected and fixed to Qianyi's chest.

Su Ping blinked, and then he saw the pierced body instantly congeal. It seemed as if the paper sword that pierced him was originally a part of his body.

It was clear that this was the racial advantage of the origami figures. Their bodies were made of paper, and as long as there was paper body folding, in fact, as long as the paper body was not completely broken, such a severe injury for animal-type companion beasts was just a minor injury for origami figures.

At this moment, three swords were simultaneously wielded by the little paper man Qianyi.

Holding giant dual swords, with his chest pierced by a paper sword, and with the poker face of the Ace of Spades, even his overall demeanor was completely different! Even Su Ping felt a current of electricity surge through his body, reaching his crown.

Was this still the chatty little paper man?

'Clang!'

A resounding sword resonance rang out from somewhere, startling Su Ping and instantly focusing his gaze on Qianyi.

The next moment, the sword blades of Qianyi's three swords glowed with the Golden Blade Technique.

And this time, the sword that Qianyi fiercely slashed towards the dummy in front of him left a terrifying indentation! Before Su Ping could react, a light shone from Qianyi's body! It was the light of skill mastery!
