Chapter 153: Lightning Origami Person! A Lonely Sword!
Chapter 153: Lightning Origami Person! A Lonely Sword!
Previously, Su Ping had a premonition, but he never expected it to happen so soon.
Su Ping had been researching the evolution of Origami Persons.
Undoubtedly, the key lay in the assembly of their paper bodies.
Therefore, for all this time, the feeding of Necromantic resources never stopped, and as the Origami Persons' levels increased, the shared connection of the Paper Body Assembly skill became even more meticulous.
For this, he specifically increased the breeding of Origami Persons.
The three Origami Persons before him were the original three, having reached Common Tier 10, and with their proficiency in Paper Body Assembly, they had already reached the limit of Origami Persons.
But Su Ping never imagined that after reaching this limit, the evolution of the Origami Persons would be so simple.
Was it a lucky coincidence? Or did Origami Persons inherently have an affinity for the Lightning attribute?
Or perhaps, after reaching this level, the evolution of Origami Persons was naturally this easy?
Su Ping didn't know; he could only stare blankly with Qian Yi, the little Origami Person, at what was happening before them.
Qian Yi was even more stunned.
He hadn't evolved yet, but his sword had evolved first?
Who could he complain to about this?
But the fact was, it was happening right before their eyes.
The evolution of Pet Beasts didn't last very long.
Especially for Origami Persons, a lower-grade and not particularly high-level special Pet Beast in terms of evolution.
Compared to Laosha's evolution light, which lasted nearly an hour, this time, the evolution only took less than ten minutes.
The light of evolution gradually faded.
Evolution was one of the fundamental rules of this world. It could accelerate the evolution of a creature that would normally take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, to complete, and even more incredibly, it could be achieved through the overflow of energy.
It was truly magical.
As Su Ping marveled, the light completely disappeared.
Finally, the three evolved Origami Persons appeared before Su Ping with crystal clarity.
They seemed unchanged, still holding the Paper Sword, but its color was slightly darker.
The previous Paper Sword was extremely pale, like the white paper of the Origami Person's body.
However, the evolved Paper Sword had a metallic feel with a silver-gray hue. At first glance, it was almost impossible to discern that this Paper Sword was made of paper.
Moreover, on the blade, there were occasional flashes of blue-white electric light.
It had truly evolved into a Lightning Sword? Su Ping blinked, and this time, he eagerly used his True Eye to analyze the special state of the three evolved Origami Persons:
【Origami Person - Lightning (Wild) (3 x 1 Lightning Paper Sword Form)】
【Attributes: Necromantic, Lightning】
【Current Level: Elite Third Rank】
【Racial Potential: Elite Tier 10】
【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Proficient), Paper Body Assembly - Lightning (Proficient), Paper Body Compression (Entry), Paralysis Spell (Entry)】
Origami Person - Lightning? Such a plain name, compared to the Forest Wolf and Thousand Wood Wolf, it was lacking.
Was this all there was to the evolution, just adding a suffix to the Origami Person's name?
Was it because the evolution itself didn't bring significant changes?
Su Ping didn't waste time and turned his attention to the three new skills of the new Lightning Origami Person.
【Paper Body Compression (Entry): Compresses its own paper body, increasing its density and reducing its size.】
A rather ordinary racial skill, but with great potential.
【Paralysis Spell (Entry): A basic Lightning skill, capable of paralyzing enemies with lightning power.】
As the description stated, it was a fundamental skill.
Undoubtedly, among these three skills, the most crucial was the last one.
【Thunder Strike (Lightning Paper Sword Form): A special skill that can only be used when the Origami Person - Lightning transforms into the Lightning Paper Sword Form, combining the power of three Origami Persons for a powerful lightning attack.】
(Note: This skill's level cannot be increased and is determined by the 'Paralysis Spell' level of the Origami Person - Lightning.)
Generally, for Pet Beasts, with each major breakthrough in racial potential, they would gain one or two additional racial skills.
However, the Origami Person - Lightning originally had four racial skills, but after merging into the Lightning Paper Sword Form, it acquired an additional new skill on top of that.
A form-specific skill? Interesting! Does changing forms also change skills?
Is this the potential of Origami Persons?
Suddenly, Su Ping's eyebrows raised as he noticed a change in the Paper Body Assembly skill within the Lightning Origami Person's abilities.
【Paper Body Assembly·Thunder (Proficiency): One of the exclusive core skills of Origami Persons, used in conjunction with 'Paper Body Folding'! Can be used to assemble with other Origami Persons, resulting in effects such as level enhancement, soul integrity, and energy resonance.
With the addition of the Lightning Attribute, the assembly effect is even more pronounced when used with Origami Persons of the same attribute. Unpredictable and uncontrollable consequences may arise when assembling with Origami Persons of different attributes.
Current mastered form: Lightning Paper Sword (Elite) (Requires: 3 Lightning Origami Persons)】
As expected.
Previously, the form mastered by Paper Body Assembly was: Paper Sword (Common).
Now, the form has evolved into Lightning Paper Sword (Elite).
If this trend continues, will there be Flame Paper Sword (Elite) and Wind Paper Sword (Elite) in the future? Will the Paper Sword also change and vary according to the attributes of the Origami Persons after assembly?
If the assembly forms are developed based on the Origami Person's forms, will the upper limit of the form's level also increase? For example, 'Lightning Summoning Sword (Overlord)'? Or even something like 'Lightning Mastery Sword (Sovereign)'?
It's not impossible!
At this moment, Su Ping gained a clearer understanding of the potential of Origami Persons.
Indeed, it is worthy of being recognized by the Bestiary as a special pet with immense potential!
So, what is the basis for the upper limit of the assembly form's level? Is it the level of individual Origami Persons? Or the number of Origami Persons required for the assembly form?
Both are possible!
Before Su Ping could think further, the Bestiary, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly responded.
The blue Level 2 Bestiary belonging to Origami Persons slowly appeared in Su Ping's mind.
In the log, a new record emerged:
【Origami Person Bestiary has recorded the evolved form: Lightning Origami Person Evolution Form, gaining 200 Experience Points!】
【You can enter the Origami Person Bestiary to investigate the analysis of 'Lightning Origami Person'.】
【Lightning Origami Person is a branch evolution of Origami Person forms, hence the Origami Person Bestiary has no level experience. Experience gained from it will be reflected back to the Origami Person Bestiary!】
【Interact with three Lightning Paper Swords daily and spend time with them, gaining 10 Experience Points each, for a total of 30 Experience Points.】
The 200 Experience Points were as expected, as the level of the Lightning Origami Person was indeed very low.
The rest was as expected, similar to when Old Sha evolved previously.
The evolution of the Lightning Origami Person still affects the Bestiary itself.
As this thought crossed his mind,
Indeed, in the upper part of the Origami Person Bestiary,
Under the term 'Special Breeding, Evolution', a new annotation appeared.
Evolved forms unlocked:
【Branch Bestiary: Lightning Origami Person】
【Lightning Origami Person: After undergoing ordinary Lightning enhancement, it has a certain level of improvement. Additionally, the strength of the assembled form has greatly increased! Possesses racial skills: Paper Body Folding, Paper Body Assembly·Thunder, Paper Body Compression, and Paralysis Spell.】
At this moment,
"Woohoo!"
The Origami Person, seeing the Lightning Paper Sword shimmering with lightning, could no longer contain its excitement!
Although it had not yet completed its evolution, the fact that the sword had evolved first made it feel somewhat defeated.
Nevertheless, no matter what, it seemed that its strength had indeed increased?
Su Ping snapped back to attention and looked at the Origami Person.
It must be said that the evolution of the Origami Person was an unexpected joy.
However, compared to the Thousand Wood Wolf, the key to the evolution of the Origami Person still lies with Xiao Qing.
The primary reason for researching Origami Persons is to help Qian Yi complete her evolution!
At Su Ping's gesture, Qian Yi extended her hand and finally grasped the Lightning Paper Sword!
Instantly.
The dazzling electric light seemed to spread from the sword's body to Qian Yi's entire body.
"Woohoo!"
The Origami Person cried out in exaggerated pain.
Its 2D face was clearly tingling from the lightning.
( T﹏T )
But soon, the Origami Person's face changed again:
"Woohoo? (Is this the power of lightning?!?)"
Its body, which was originally numb, suddenly stood up straight:
o(｀ー)+╋══
However, the Origami Person's face changed again!
The Ace of Spades face seemed to indicate that the Origami Person had also entered a state of utmost seriousness.
The determined Qian Yi.
Su Ping's gaze remained fixed on the little guy before him.
As expected!
His guess was indeed correct!
The Origami Person's mutated skill, Paper Body Control, allowed it to control all Origami People it came into contact with.
In other words, this was also a form of Paper Body Assembly.
However, the Paper Body Assembly of other Origami People was indeed just that—an assembly, requiring the combination of other Origami People to form a complete entity.
But Qian Yi was different.
Qian Yi possessed a complete self-awareness and soul, so it didn't need to assemble with any other Origami People to perfect its soul.
Since it already had the most complete soul, in this situation, Qian Yi could control the other Origami People!
This control surpassed the mere concept of assembly!
Perhaps, when a swordsman held a sword, wasn't that also a form of assembly?
Therefore, even though the Origami Person had a different attribute, after being empowered by lightning, it was only natural for Qian Yi to still be able to control this power!
However, Su Ping's thoughts went even deeper, beyond just controlling this Paper Sword itself.
At this moment, he wondered if Qian Yi, after grasping the Lightning Paper Sword, could control the lightning power within it!
If it was possible, that would be defying the heavens!
Su Ping's eyes narrowed.
He turned his gaze towards the Origami Person before him.
At this moment, the Origami Person didn't need his command; its aura slowly gathered.
Thunder rumbled around the long sword in its hand, and on the silver-gray blade, bursts of crackling sounds erupted.
Indeed, the 'Swordsman's Poker Face' was quite abstract.
But at this very moment, with its cheeks forming an 'A' shape, the Origami Person was the most trustworthy.
It stood in its original position, and in this dimly lit basement, it seemed to have completely transformed the space into its own domain.
Qian Yi's attention was entirely focused on the distant dummy made of Tempered Steel.
Even after practicing for so long, and under the relentless night-and-day slashes of the Origami Person, the paper dummy remained unwaveringly sturdy.
True Energy Sink! Sinking into the legs and the sword, it was like a coiled thunderbolt ready to strike!
Finally, the Origami Person, like a leopard about to pounce, took the stance of drawing its sword. In the past week, the Origami Person had used this stance countless times.
But this time, it was evidently different from any previous attempt.
Qian Yi sensed and comprehended the changes in the lightning attribute's energy.
The Capital of Hell Sword King's heritage was correct; the Sword Intent Origin, combined with the Soul Grave, gave birth to a Sword Spirit with absolute talent in all sword-related aspects.
So, within this short span of ten seconds, from sensing to merging with the lightning attribute's changes, it seemed effortless?
Therefore, in the instant of coiling up, at a moment when Su Ping hadn't anticipated, Qian Yi moved!
'Boom!'
It was as if the sound of thunder exploded by his ears!
Was that the sound of thunder?
Perhaps, but Su Ping wasn't sure, as there was another possibility—the sound barrier-breaking explosion caused by an extreme burst of speed.
It was too fast.
Even when Su Ping reacted, he only caught a glimpse of a residual lightning flash shooting out.
Accompanying it was the familiar clang of the sword, a sound he had heard countless times before.
At the end of his gaze.
The Lightning Paper Sword, shimmering with thunder and lightning, remained firmly in Qian Yi's hand.
However, the flickering electric glow seemed to dim.
The next moment, Qian Yi twirled the sword in his hand, directly sheathing the Lightning Paper Sword.
With its back to Su Ping, the Origami Person maintained the sheathing stance.
Then, the Tempered Steel dummy emitted a teeth-grating creaking sound.
In Su Ping's eyes, the incredibly resilient dummy's head and neck slowly separated, sliding to the ground!
The cutting surface was as smooth as a mirror.
It was as if the dummy being cut wasn't made of Tempered Steel, capable of withstanding strikes from high-tier Elite pets, but rather an ordinary wooden dummy.
"Wow... (This is... my first sword...)"
Unbeknownst to Su Ping, at the edge of his vision, Qian Yi slowly straightened its body, adjusting its paper hat, and once again uttered that familiar, somewhat desolate exclamation:
"Wow... (This sword... is so lonely...)"
