Chapter 153: The Lightning Origami Man! The Lonely Sword!
Chapter 153: The Lightning Origami Man! The Lonely Sword!
Prior to this moment, Su Ping had a premonition, but he never expected this step to come so quickly.
Su Ping had been researching the evolution of the Origami Man.
Undoubtedly, the key lies in the paper body's assembly.
Therefore, for all this time, the feeding of Undead-type resources had never ceased, and the level of the Origami Man had been steadily rising. The connection and sharing of the Paper Body Assembly Skill had been meticulously maintained.
For this reason, he had even increased the cultivation of the Origami Men.
The three Origami Men before him were the original three, having reached the Ordinary Tenth Stage with a Mastery-level Paper Body Assembly Skill. They had already reached the limit of this type of lifeform.
However, Su Ping never imagined that after reaching this limit, the evolution of the Origami Men would be so straightforward.
Was it a lucky accident, or did the Origami Men themselves have an inherent affinity for Lightning-type energy? Or perhaps, after reaching this level, the evolution of the Origami Men is inherently so swift and effortless?
Su Ping didn't know; he could only look on in bewilderment with the little Origami Man Qian Yi.
The little Origami Man was stunned.
It hadn't even evolved yet, but its sword had already done so?
Who could it complain to about this?
But this was the reality unfolding before their eyes.
The evolution of the companion beast didn't last long.
Especially for the Origami Man, a lower-grade and less evolved special companion beast, the evolution process was relatively short.
Compared to Laosha's evolution light, which lasted nearly an hour, this time's evolution light lasted less than ten minutes.
The light of evolution gradually faded.
Evolution is one of the fundamental rules of this world, and it can accelerate a biological process that would normally take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, to complete. It's truly astonishing.
As Su Ping marveled, the light completely disappeared.
Finally, the three evolved Origami Men appeared before Su Ping with unparalleled clarity.
At first glance, they seemed unchanged. They were still paper swords, but their color was slightly darker.
The previous paper swords were incredibly pale, like the white paper bodies of the Origami Men.
After the evolution, the paper swords had a silvery-gray metallic texture. At first glance, it was even hard to discern that these paper swords were made of paper.
Moreover, on the sword body, there were occasional flashes of blue-white electric light.
Had they truly evolved into Lightning Swords? Su Ping blinked, and this time, he eagerly used True Eye to analyze the special state of the three evolved Origami Men:
【Origami Man·Lightning (Wild) (3x1 Paper Sword·Lightning Form)】
【Attributes: Undead, Lightning】
【Current Level: Elite III】
【Racial Potential: Elite X】
【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Mastery), Paper Body Assembly·Lightning (Mastery), Paper Body Compression (Beginner), Paralysis (Beginner), Lightning Strike (Paper Sword·Lightning Form Exclusive Skill)】
Origami Man·Lightning? Such a simple name! The difference between the Lynx Wolf and the Thousand Wood Wolf was immense.
All it took was adding a suffix to the Origami Man?
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 Man.
【Paper Body Compression (Beginner): Compresses its own paper body, increasing its quality and reducing its size.】
A very ordinary racial skill, but with great potential.
【Paralysis (Beginner): A basic Lightning-type skill that can paralyze an opponent's body using lightning power.】
As the description suggests, it's a foundational skill.
Undoubtedly, the most crucial of these three skills is the last one.
【Lightning Strike (Paper Sword·Lightning Form Exclusive Skill): A special skill that can only be used when the Origami Man·Lightning transforms into the Paper Sword form, combining the power of three Origami Men to unleash a powerful lightning strike.】
(Note: This skill's level cannot be increased and is determined by the Origami Man·Lightning's 'Paralysis' skill level.)
Generally, companion beasts gain one or two new racial skills for each major boundary they cross in terms of racial potential.
However, the Origami Man·Lightning originally possessed four racial skills. After merging into the Paper Sword·Lightning form, it gained an additional new skill on top of that.
A form-specific skill? Interesting! Does changing forms also change skills?
Is this the potential of the Origami Men?
Suddenly, Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he noticed something about the Paper Body Assembly skill of the Origami Man·Lightning—it seemed to have undergone some changes.
Paper Body Assembly: Thunder (Mastery): One of the core skills exclusive to Origami People, used in conjunction with 'Paper Body Fold'! Can assemble with other Origami People, with effects such as level increase, soul integrity, and energy resonance.
With the addition of the Thunder attribute, the assembly effect with Origami People of the same attribute is even more pronounced. Assembling with Origami People of different attributes can lead to unpredictable and unknown consequences!
Current Mastered Form: Paper Sword: Thunder (Elite) (Requires: 3 Origami People: Thunder)
As expected, the Paper Body Assembly skill has evolved from its previous form, Paper Sword (Ordinary), to its new form, Paper Sword: Thunder (Elite).
This raises the question: Will there be future forms like Paper Sword: Fire (Elite) or Paper Sword: Wind (Elite)? Will the Paper Sword's attributes change and vary based on the attributes of the assembled Origami People? Will the upper limit of assembly form levels increase if different Origami People forms are combined? For example, will there be a 'Thunder-Attracting Sword (Commander)' or even a 'Thunder-Controlling Sword (Sovereign)'? It's not impossible!
At this moment, Su Ping gains a clearer understanding of the potential of Origami People.
Indeed, as the Tome of Ten Thousand Spirits has recognized, Origami People have immense potential as special pets! What is the basis for determining the upper limit of assembly form levels? Is it the level of individual Origami People, or the number of Origami People required for a specific assembly form? Both are possible!
Before Su Ping could ponder further, the Tome of Ten Thousand Spirits, which had been silent for a while, reacted as expected.
The blue LV2-level Tome entry for Origami People appeared in Su Ping's mind.
In the log, a new record emerged:
Origami People Tome: Evolution Form Record: Origami People: Thunder Evolution Form, Experience Gained: 200 points!
You can enter the Origami People Tome to explore the analysis of 'Origami People: Thunder' form.
Origami People: Thunder form is an evolution branch in the Origami People Tome. Hence, the Origami People: Thunder form has no level experience in the Tome, and the experience gained from it will be reflected in the Origami People Tome!
Interact with three Paper Swords: Thunder daily for a certain period, and the Origami People Tome will gain experience: 10 x 3.
The experience gain of only 200 points was not surprising to Su Ping, as the level of the Thunder Origami People was indeed low.
The rest, as expected, was similar to the previous evolution of Old Sha.
The evolution of the Thunder Origami People still affects the Origami People Tome itself.
With a thought, Su Ping's mind moved.
As expected, in the upper part of the Origami People Tome,
Under the 'Special Cultivation and Evolution' section, a new annotation appeared:
Unlocked Evolution Forms:
Branch Tome: Origami People: Thunder
Origami People: Thunder: After undergoing ordinary Thunder enhancement, the upper limit has increased, and the strength of the assembled form has greatly improved! Possesses racial skills: Paper Body Fold, Paper Body Assembly: Thunder, Paper Body Compression, and Paralysis Technique.
At this moment,
"Wow!"
The little Origami Person, seeing the Paper Sword glowing with thunderous light, could no longer contain its excitement!
Although it hadn't evolved yet, the fact that the sword had evolved first made it feel a bit defeated.
However, regardless, this seemed to be a strengthening of its own power?
Su Ping quickly snapped out of it and looked at the little Origami Person.
It was undeniable that the evolution of Origami People was a pleasant surprise.
However, compared to the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf, the key to the evolution of Origami People still lay with the little Origami Person.
The main reason for studying Origami People was to help the little Origami Person evolve!
With Su Ping's gesture, the little Origami Person grasped the Paper Sword: Thunder!
Instantly.
The dazzling electric glow spread from the sword to the little Origami Person's entire body.
"Wow!"
The little Origami Person cried out in exaggerated pain.
Its 2D face was visibly shocked by the electricity.
( T﹏T )
But soon, the little Origami Person's face changed again:
"Wow?! (Is this the power of thunder?)"
Its body, which had been shocked, stood up again:
o(｀ー)+╋══
However, the little Origami Person's face changed once more!
The Spade A face seemed to indicate that the little Origami Person had entered a serious state.
Qian Yi, with utmost seriousness.
Su Ping's gaze remained fixed on the little paper man before him.
As expected, his guess was correct!
The little paper man's mutated skill: Paper Body Control, allowing him to control all paper puppets that come into contact with him.
In other words, this is also a different form of paper body splicing.
However, the paper body splicing of other paper puppets is indeed just splicing, and they need to be combined with other paper puppets to be complete.
But Qian Yi is different.
Qian Yi possesses a complete self-awareness and soul, so he doesn't need to splice with any paper puppets to perfect his soul.
Since he already has the most complete soul, at this moment, Qian Yi can control the other paper puppets!
This control surpasses the meaning of splicing! Perhaps, the sword in the swordsman's hand is also a form of splicing?
So, even if the attributes are different from the little paper man, after the paper puppet is empowered by thunder, Qian Yi, as it should be, can still control this power!
However, Su Ping's deeper thoughts went beyond just controlling the paper sword itself.
At this moment, he wondered if Qian Yi, after grasping the paper sword infused with thunder, could control the thunder power within the sword!
If so, that would be incredible! Su Ping's eyes narrowed.
He turned his gaze to the little paper man before him.
At this moment, the little paper man, without needing Su Ping's command, slowly gathered its aura.
Thunder surrounded the long sword in its hand, and on the silver-gray blade, bursts of crackling sounds erupted.
It turned out that although the 'Poker Face Swordsman' was indeed very serious.
But at this moment, the little paper man with an 'A' on its cheek, always the most trustworthy, stood in its original position.
In this dim basement, it seemed to have completely taken over the place.
Qian Yi's attention was entirely focused on the hundred-refined steel dummy in the distance.
Even after practicing for so long, and despite the little paper man's relentless chopping night after night, the paper puppet remained standing tall.
True Qi descended, sinking into the legs and the sword, ready to burst forth like thunder!
Finally, the little paper man, like a leopard about to pounce, poised to strike with its sword, had performed this move countless times over the past week.
But this time, it was clearly different from any previous attempt.
Qian Yi sensed and understood the changes in thunder energy.
The Fengdu Sword King's inheritance was correct; the sword soul born from the combination of the sword's origin and the soul tomb has an absolute talent for anything related to swords.
Therefore, in just a short ten seconds, from sensing to fusing the thunder attribute, it seemed effortless.
So, in the instant of preparation, in the moment Su Ping didn't expect, Qian Yi moved!
'Boom!'
It was as if the sound of thunder exploded in his ears!
Was that the sound of thunder?
Perhaps, but Su Ping wasn't sure, as there was another possibility—the sound barrier shattering due to the extreme speed of the burst.
Too fast.
Even as Su Ping realized what was happening, he only caught a glimpse of a residual lightning flash shooting out.
Accompanying it was the familiar clanging sound of the sword that he had heard many times before.
At the end of his gaze.
The paper sword, shimmering with thunder and lightning, remained in Qian Yi's hand.
However, the flickering electric light on its surface seemed to dim.
The next moment, Qian Yi twirled the sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he sheathed the paper sword infused with thunder.
The little paper man, with his back to Su Ping, maintained the sheathing posture.
Then, the hundred-refined steel dummy emitted a teeth-grinding squeak.
In Su Ping's eyes, this incredibly resilient dummy, its head and neck slowly separated, sliding to the ground!
The cutting surface was as smooth as a mirror.
It seemed as if what was cut wasn't a hundred-refined steel dummy that could withstand elite-rank pet beast strikes, but a simple wooden dummy.
"Wow... (This is, my first sword...)"
At some point, Qian Yi, at the end of Su Ping's gaze, slowly straightened his body, adjusted his paper hat, and once again sighed with a touch of 'melancholy':
"Wow... (This sword, is so lonely...)"
