Chapter 151: Mutated Sword Body! The Evolution of the Little Paper Man
Chapter 151: Mutated Sword Body! The Evolution of the Little Paper Man
In just a short moment, the little paper man's body had grown even larger than before.
"Wow!"
As the Paper Sword's blade pierced through the air, the little paper man's cry accompanied it, stabbing into the dummy and the sturdy wall, leaving a deep mark.
However, Qian Yi did not use the Golden Spear Technique. The sharpness of the Paper Sword was not enough to support such an attack.
Su Ping did not rush to use the True Eye, but instead observed the little paper man's movements, gaining a direct insight into Qian Yi's new skill.
Compared to the Golden Spear Technique, this new skill seemed to be more enduring.
The Golden Spear Technique only enhanced the sharpness of a single attack, and at the Perfected level, it also increased the speed of the sword strike, making it even more ferocious than other skills.
If one had to describe it, it would be a trump card skill.
But at this very moment, Qian Yi's current skill, which he was displaying, continued to persist. Although its power was far inferior to the Perfected Golden Spear Technique, this endurance made it even more meaningful.
Moreover, the newly comprehended skill was obviously just the initial entry-level.
Su Ping was already very satisfied with the power and effect of this skill at this level.
Finally, the light of spiritual power gathered in Su Ping's eyes, locking onto the little paper man Qian Yi, who held the Paper Sword.
The True Eye revealed the feedback and improvement of Qian Yi after his advancement!
Mutated Paper Man (Contracted)
Attributes: Gold, Undead
Current Level: Elite Rank 1
Race Potential: Elite Rank 1
Skills: Paper Body Fold (Proficient), Golden Spear Technique (Perfected), Sword Soul Mark (Special), Accelerated Spellcasting (Proficient), Mutated Paper Body Control (Proficient), Mutated Sword Body (Entry-level)
Sword Body?
And it's a mutated skill?!
Su Ping's eyebrows rose slightly.
Mutated skills, as seen in some of his other pets, were different from their normal effects after mutation.
For example, Xiao Qing's 'Poison Ivy Strangle'.
Strictly speaking, it could be considered a mutated version of the Vine Strangle skill, but in reality, some poisonous plant pets inherently possess such skills. Compared to them, Xiao Qing's Poison Ivy Strangle didn't have any truly special features, so it wasn't considered a mutated skill.
Mutated skills, like the Poison Wood Heart, are unique to pets!
And at this very moment, Qian Yi's little paper man displayed another mutated skill, similar to the previous Paper Body Control mutation.
Sword Body?
This skill was not unfamiliar to Su Ping for a simple reason. In the secret realm of Fengdu, he had seen it on some sword-type pets.
It was a very common skill, even more so on sword-type pets than the 'Golden Spear Technique'.
The Sword Body skill allows sword-type pets to further control and attach energy, increasing their power.
In general, it is a basic skill for most sword pets.
The Sword Body and Golden Spear Technique were the most common skills in that secret realm, especially the Rotten Sword.
However, from the angle just now, Su Ping couldn't see any significant differences or peculiarities in Qian Yi's Mutated Sword Body compared to other Sword Bodies.
The True Eye locked onto Qian Yi again, and the skill appeared clearly in Su Ping's vision.
Mutated Sword Body (Entry-level): Allows the pet to control its energy and attach it to its body and sword, enhancing the power and speed of its sword strikes.
Mutated Effect: Countless practice sessions have deepened the little paper man's understanding of the sword. Now, with the fusion of energy and sword, it can independently think and comprehend 'Sword Techniques'!
(Note: This skill cannot be improved through practice; only by comprehending 'Sword Techniques' can its level be increased.)
Hmm?
Su Ping examined the mutated effect of the little paper man's mutated skill.
Compared to Xiao Qing's Poison Wood Heart, which could only absorb poison energy to nourish itself, and Old Sha's Wood Body, which allowed him to freely transform into a wooden or animal body,
The little paper man's mutated skill once again exceeded Su Ping's understanding.
He initially thought that Qian Yi's mutated sword body would also enhance the sword's power, but he never expected the mutation to be so bizarre.
Could it comprehend so-called 'Sword Techniques' by combining its energy with sword strikes? Su Ping blinked, recalling the countless sword technique foundation movements that Qian Yi had practiced under his guidance.
Basic movements like stabbing, slashing, and chopping.
Was there a connection between the little paper man's comprehension of this mutated skill and Su Ping's initial instructions?
Was it a coincidence, combined with the little paper man's uniqueness, that led to the comprehension of this special mutated skill?
Hmm!
He was indeed a genius pet trainer.
He had anticipated this from the start.
Su Ping paid no attention to the excited little paper man still holding the Paper Sword, and instead, sat down on the ground.
At that moment, the first thing that came to his mind was the martial arts movies from his previous world.
In the current world of Beastmasters, such expressions were rare, and the power of sword-type Beastmasters was primarily displayed through the sword itself.
However, some artistic adaptations and works from his previous world could provide Su Ping with great inspiration:
The One-Line Lightning Sword, Solitary Sword, Evil Exorcising Sword Technique...
Countless and varied sword techniques.
That is to say, the mutated sword body of the little paper person Qian Yi can, through her own enlightenment, comprehend and manifest this type of sword technique, forming a genuine skill?
For example, the Solitary Sword Nine Movements (Beginner)?
Although it feels quite abstract, at this moment, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Suddenly, Su Ping became extremely excited.
In that case, the potential of this mutated skill is probably even more powerful than all the mutated skills he has seen!
The fusion of energy and sword techniques, unleashing greater might, is the essence of sword techniques!
Therefore, the extension of these sword techniques is the myriad of sword skills and techniques!
So, ordinary sword techniques like Gale Rapid Sword may exist. And those powerful so-called sword techniques, such as Heaven Sword and Ten Thousand Gods Cataclysm, can they also be realized and created within the little paper person?
If such sword techniques were to take form, wouldn't they become new transcendent skills?!
As this thought emerged, Su Ping once again felt the thrilling excitement on the surface of his brain.
He suddenly looked at the little paper person who was still wielding the Paper Sword even after advancing in rank.
Moreover, could the little paper person's evolutionary opportunity also be hidden within this?
As Teacher Liu said, the essence of evolution is the ability bestowed by the rules of this world upon life forms other than humans.
And what are the conditions for evolution? It's when the current form can no longer meet the requirements for further advancement, and after all energy has accumulated to its limit, the transformation that occurs!
These requirements are not just about reaching the peak and limit of one's race, but also about 'further advancement'.
The paper-folding man had no path to evolution because he lacked this 'further advancement' pathway.
However, the direction of mutation for mutated beasts represents an alternative path to evolution.
To evolve from the aspect of the sword and complete the transformation?
Previously, Su Ping wanted to start with cultivating the Gold type, after all, the little paper person has a Gold mutation, which seemed like a good direction.
But now it seems that his ideas are about to change.
Although the sword is, in a certain sense, part of the Gold type, it is also somewhat different.
Su Ping arrived directly at the training ground.
The little paper person turned her head, looking at the approaching Su Ping:
"Wow, wow! (Teacher Liu! I've become stronger!)"
Su Ping smiled and nodded:
"However, Qian Yi, this is just the beginning. It lays the foundation for your advancement. The real test is the training that follows!"
"Wow!"
Qian Yi clenched her fists.
(`ー)
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction. He always found this kind of spirited attitude in the little paper person.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't found an effective training method for Little Qing.
But for now, the little paper person's situation was undoubtedly more important.
"From now on, you don't need to keep practicing the basic movements of these sword techniques. Your foundation is already incredibly solid. What's needed now is further advancement."
"Wow!"
Su Ping paused before continuing:
"The foundation of all sword techniques lies in the ability to combine energy and sword movements. Now, you need to take each individual movement and seamlessly integrate them into a complete set of sword techniques."
"Wow?!"
[_???]
The little paper person scratched her head, indicating that even after advancing in rank, she still didn't fully understand what a complete sword technique meant.
Su Ping explained in a way that was easiest for the little paper person to understand:
"The impressive swordsmen you've seen use techniques based on their swords to launch skills. That's what sword techniques are!"
"Wow?!"
The little paper person's eyes gradually lit up, and then, holding the assembled Paper Sword, she closed her eyes:
( ̄- ̄)
Before Su Ping could react to what this little thing was about to do, the little paper person suddenly opened her eyes.
She rushed towards the dummy and raised the Paper Sword in her hand, swiftly slashing at the dummy's body.
Each slash was incredibly swift.
The only issue was that there was no technique involved, and the more Su Ping watched, the more black lines appeared on his forehead.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Su Ping halted the little paper person's creation of the Chaotic Wind Sword Technique.
It was clear that even though the little paper person had an innate understanding of sword techniques due to her sword intent origin, her comprehension of sword techniques was exceptional.
However, this chaotic slashing didn't align with the true essence of sword techniques.

So, what is the essential requirement for comprehending sword techniques? Su Ping didn't pay attention to the little paper person's doubtful expression, as he too fell into deep thought.
Evidently, the little paper person's sword technique comprehension was entirely different from some of the lower-level sword techniques found in martial arts novels.
It wasn't just a matter of the techniques.
If one were to rely solely on the sword's edge to stab and counter the opponent's moves, then this sword technique wouldn't even have any killing power, let alone becoming a skill.
From the perspective of the mutated sword body, it was evident that the sword technique was a result of stacking energy and sword movements, and then forming a complete 'sword technique'. In other words, one should start from the foundation! What is the foundation of the sword body? It's the ability to combine energy and sword movements.
According to the theories in martial arts novels, this sword technique is a technique driven by 'true qi'.
Its most important function is to unleash greater power to break through the opponent's 'true qi' formed 'martial arts' and 'true qi shields'.
Or faster, even more swiftly striking the opponent.
Therefore, to perfect the creation of a true sword technique, the first thing to do is to learn to harness 'True Qi'!
Sword techniques are energy-driven, and the sword moves carry out energy attacks.
Thinking of this, Su Ping patted his head:
"Qian Yi, activate the skill: Sword Body!"
Qian Yi extended his hand, and the assembled paper sword glowed with a faint light.
It was very faint, but in this dim basement, it was still quite eye-catching.
"Qian Yi, can you make the energy of the Sword Body more explosive and powerful?"
"Huh?"
Qian Yi gave Su Ping a strange look, and then the light faded away, and a bright light suddenly appeared, and a sword slashed at the already scarred dummy.
Su Ping was startled.
Because he knew that this was not the effect of the Sword Body, but the 'Golden Spear Technique'! However, upon careful consideration, it seemed that this principle was indeed the case. To increase the explosive power and strength of energy, the Golden Spear Technique was a skill that could be referenced.
Suddenly, Su Ping's eyes lit up:
"Qian Yi, can you try to activate the Sword Body using the principles of the Golden Spear Technique? Not just applying it to the sword, but within your body, you need to learn to feel the power of the Sword Body and then control its activation!"
The little paper man was confused, he didn't understand what his master meant.
So, as the little paper man was bewildered, Su Ping couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking of those discs, and then said:
"Sink the energy into the dantian! Circulate it through the body!"
As these eight words appeared, he suddenly saw the little paper man's eyes light up.
The little paper man sat down on the ground, and the sword energy of the Sword Body slowly rippled around him.
At this moment, Su Ping suddenly had a realization.
The principle was actually very simple.
The Sword Body skill, for the little paper man Qian Yi, was like an innate ability that had been programmed. Generally, Qian Yi could activate this innate ability and fight.
The energy consumed per second when activating this skill, and the power of the skill, were actually fixed.
However, this fixed nature actually restricted Qian Yi's performance.
The more energy injected, the better the effect, as it should be.
When the energy was suppressed and accumulated, the rebound would naturally be stronger than normal, as it should be.
To create a unique 'Sword Technique' skill for the little paper man by fusing energy and sword moves.
Therefore, freely controlling the energy supply of the 'Mutated Sword Body' was the most fundamental foundation.
Obviously, after understanding the principle, for the little paper man, such control was not a big deal.
Soon, the paper sword in his hand glowed with alternating brightness and dimness.
In this dim basement, it was like a glow stick.
Not only the sword but also his body was like this.
Su Ping was satisfied and recorded all these changes in his notebook.
This night was spent on such attempts.
And the little paper man Qian Yi, indeed born from two Holy Spirit-level resources, had an incredibly high and strong talent in this aspect.
The Sword Body skill was obviously a sword-type skill.
Qian Yi's mastery of speed was so fast that even Su Ping was amazed.
After advancing to the Elite Fourth Stage, his physical body was further enhanced. Without sleeping for a night, Su Ping was still excited:
"Qian Yi, unleash your speed!"
Qian Yi's figure suddenly burst forth, and from one end of the basement, his body shot to the other end in just three seconds.
This speed was almost comparable to the full power of an Elite Seventh or Eighth Stage Lin Wolf! Indeed, the mutated sword body was not just about letting Qian Yi understand the so-called sword technique of his own.
More importantly, it was about the more refined use of his own energy.
This effect was more practical than any skill.
Of course, the consumption was also visible.
But now, Su Ping was not short on resources.
After Qian Yi visibly wilted, Su Ping threw two Undead Pet Energy Restoration Potions.
'Gurgle, gurgle.'
Qian Yi became energetic again.
Obviously, this night, Qian Yi had been constantly practicing energy input, compression, and output.
Trying to meet Su Ping's standards and requirements.
And this night, Su Ping was designing the first possible sword technique for Qian Yi!
He had a premonition that the little paper man's evolution would likely be based on the sword techniques he would understand through the Sword Body.
So, this night, Su Ping carefully recalled the countless wuxia novels he had read.
He reviewed all the famous sword techniques.
And found that the most basic, practical, and simple in principle, was perhaps the sword technique used by that unknown extra:
One-Line Lightning Sword.
The technique was simple yet fierce, utilizing powerful explosive speed, and concentrating it into one sword.
Using explosive power and speed like lightning, the most fierce attack was launched! Of course, whether this One-Line Lightning Sword was as Su Ping understood it, he didn't know.
Anyway, he deduced this One-Line Lightning Sword's killing move from its name.
Focusing on one point, reaching the pinnacle!
So, Su Ping called the little paper man to his side.
"Qian Yi, are you ready to learn the first sword technique?"
"Huh!"
