Chapter 222: The Combination of the Five Elements Origami Man!

Chapter 222: The Combination of the Five Elements Origami Man!

Indeed, it was gone.

Looking at the cliff, where was the fire crow from yesterday?

Su Ping was filled with indignation.

It could have at least said something before leaving.

These foreign birds are so impolite!

However, Su Ping still held a glimmer of hope as he looked at the Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree:

"Hundred Birds, did the little crow react when it left?"

Through spiritual communication, the Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree understood Su Ping's meaning and shook its head:

"It just left without any reaction."

Su Ping nodded, "Then which direction did it fly towards?"

"Towards the place where the sun rises."

The east?

Su Ping subconsciously glanced towards the east, where the sky was vast and birds could fly freely. Even if he knew the direction, finding that little crow again would be a difficult task.

Su Ping sighed helplessly, glanced at the seemingly more desolate Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree, and caressed its trunk:

"Don't worry, later on, I'll build a special aviary for you..."

The Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree seemed to have no resistance to Su Ping's promises.

After comforting the tree, Su Ping returned to the base.

After all, whether it was the fire crow or the Spirit Tree Leaf that cost a thousand gold coins, they were just diversions in Su Ping's life.

He still had important matters to attend to.

Su Ping did not rashly call Master Zhu Hong.

This Master Zhu had come to Linzhou, and he must have had important business to attend to as well.

Although Su Ping genuinely wanted to seek guidance from Master Zhu, he should still exercise some restraint, right? Moreover, the current situation did not require bothering the breeding master.

It would be impolite to trouble someone without considering their circumstances.

Su Ping hurried to his underground crypt.

This area was merely the place where Little Paper Man Qian Yi had trained,

If Su Ping wanted to breed a large number of undead pets in the future, this place would eventually need to be expanded, but there was no rush.

The reason was simple: aside from the paper man, he had no other undead pets to train, and secondly, it was still not too late.

Even the body is just a medium for energy transmission.

What's truly important is forming a completely different energy exchange channel to create a harmonious cycle of the Five Elements!

Of course, the Zhang brothers sold themselves on this idea.

Su Ping took out a marker and began to draw and write on the Zhenhun Paper, creating a complex diagram with solid lines, dotted lines, and arrows.

This was the trajectory of energy flow, not just visually complex but also intricate in practice.

However, breeding pet beasts is no easy task.

Su Ping used five sheets of Zhenhun Paper to sketch out the basic outline of the Five Elements Array, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

He handed it to Qian Yi to examine:

"The solid lines represent direct energy transmission channels, the dotted lines indicate the channels for energy fusion after the next piece is assembled, and the arrows show the direction of energy transmission! You command them accordingly."

This is one of the advantages of origami creatures.

Unlike ordinary pet beasts with flesh and blood or other mediums, origami creatures don't require meridians or spiritual energy for energy transmission.

This is also one of the main reasons Su Ping believes origami creatures can be successfully bred.

Qian Yi's understanding is unparalleled.

When it comes to swordsmanship, combat, and energy manipulation, he is one in a million.

Indeed, this aspect follows the master's lead.

They are absolute geniuses in their respective fields.

But Qian Yi is exceptional.

However, these origami creatures seem to be an exception.

Under Qian Yi's control, the five origami creatures transformed into the desired forms.

Then, they assembled into the pentagon of the Five Elements Array, forming this connection.

As expected, a problem arose.

'Bang!'

An incredibly dull sound echoed.

Su Ping's vision exploded.

The five origami creatures burst apart like a scattering of celestial maidens, splitting into five directions and shooting out.

Qian Yi caught the one flying towards Su Ping's face and tossed it back to its original spot.

Then, he went to the five directions, pulled out the four origami creatures that had embedded themselves in the wall countless times, and reassembled them in their original places. After countless glances at his thoughtful master, the meaning was clear:

"Will this really work?"

[Huh?]



The question mark on Qian Yi's forehead had encircled his head 360 degrees.

Moreover, a portion of it had already turned red.

Why was the master playing with these origami creatures that had already reached the pinnacle of their growth, assembling them into various attribute swords and letting them evolve?

What's the use of such a large pentagon? Could it be a boomerang that explodes? With this thought, Qian Yi gained some insight, but what Su Ping was thinking at this moment remained a mystery.

Su Ping ignored Qian Yi's confusion.

He understood Qian Yi's doubts.

In fact, Su Ping anticipated this situation.

Su Ping had two reasons for this.

The first and simplest reason is that these origami creatures did not follow the energy flow paths he had drawn for energy fusion.

Hence, the mutual energy repulsion caused the explosion.

However, it seemed that Qian Yi had already arranged for this.

Another simple reason is that the ordinary energy of origami creatures cannot complete energy fusion like the Five Elements Array.

This also made Su Ping realize that assembling origami creatures' paper bodies is not a simple task.

Previously, using the sword body for assembly was a matter of luck and the breeding diary of Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing, which provided a deeper understanding of sword-type pet beasts.

Only under these circumstances could the assembly of the paper sword and the energy manipulation be so smooth.

Otherwise, if they wanted to find a form and assemble it casually, it was very likely that the energy would only slightly integrate before the creatures flew apart, just like what happened now.

However, Su Ping was not the least bit discouraged.

Instead, he felt reinvigorated.

Researching breeding is essentially a process of finding and solving problems.

Su Ping exhaled.

He gave Qian Yi another command.

Then, fifteen new origami creatures emerged.

Fortunately, the origami creature materials prepared earlier were sufficient, and during Su Ping's absence, Guan Lili did not let the team slack off, ensuring that the Zhenhun Paper feeding and breeding were well taken care of.

Thus, the growth of these origami creatures was quite satisfactory.

Su Ping glanced at them and divided fifteen creatures of similar levels into five groups, then called Guan Lili, who had been on standby:

"Guan Lili, bring fifteen sets of resources."

Fifteen sets of resource materials! Although the levels weren't high, the fact that they could be obtained directly was enough to demonstrate the depth and financial resources of the Wood Heart at this time.

Fifteen sets of materials, fifteen origami figures, and five more already assembled origami figures continued their practice.

These fifteen were first assembled into corresponding swords, each embodying one of the five elements.

Then, under these circumstances, they evolved!

It's worth mentioning that among Qian Yi's previous three swords, only the Fire Sword belonged to the Five Elements.

The Lightning and Wind Swords were not part of this group.

The five beams of evolutionary light illuminated the entire basement, and Su Ping's gaze remained calm.

After all, as the type of pet beast he personally developed, the evolution of the origami figures no longer stirred any emotions within him.

The five elemental swords, with only the Fire Sword among Qian Yi's original three belonging to the Five Elements, began to evolve.

The five beams of light shone upon the entire basement, and Su Ping's gaze remained calm.

He exhaled, then gave Little Qian Yi further instructions, ignoring the five origami figures that were still assembling.

The five selected origami figures, all at the same Elite First Rank, slowly came together, their colors—white, red, blue, green, and yellow—representing their respective elements.

Su Ping, with his keen eye, had chosen them carefully.

Little Qian Yi, though not understanding his master's intentions, meticulously followed his commands.

Finally, the five differently colored origami figures reassembled themselves, slowly forming the previous shape.

With another command, their energy bodies began to stir.

The sound of energy reverberated slowly throughout the basement.

Su Ping's heart stirred once more.

While each step in cultivating a pet beast was a new challenge...

...this was just the first step!

There were still many difficulties ahead, including cultivating the hearts of the elements and the challenges of the Five Elements Synergy Diagram.

If it took several days just for this first step, the prospect of creating a satisfactory product before the Special Forces Beastmaster Selection became highly uncertain.

Energy began to intertwine.

On the regular pentagonal shape, a five-colored light emanated from the center, but this time, there was no violent trembling or undulating energy.

The five-colored light slowly bloomed, becoming increasingly dazzling.

It enveloped the entire pentagonal shape.

Under Su Ping's watchful gaze, the light began to flow!

The invisible origami figures, assembled into the Five Elements Array, instantly enveloped the entire pentagonal shape!

It was complete!

Su Ping didn't feel excited but finally exhaled a long breath.

It seemed that the inability to form individual attributes was the reason why basic origami figures couldn't be used to assemble the Five Elements Array.

As if to validate Su Ping's thoughts, when the origami figures were completely assembled, the energy array also changed, similar to when they were assembled into complete elemental swords.

It felt as if their souls had been completely connected.

This made the origami figures seem more like true pet beasts.

Origami figures are unique pet beasts. Their individualities and souls are incomplete; only after being assembled can they fully understand their master's commands and carry out their tasks.

This is why, once assembled, the remaining bodies can be absorbed into the master's Pet Beast Home, and they become the master's pets.

At the same level, as long as there are enough origami figures and the assembled form is correct, the upper limit of this ability can be likened to stacking Lego blocks, infinitely.

This is the potential of origami figures.

Of course, the difficulty is also immense.

Now, the origami figure assembled from five others is naturally much stronger than the previous three-figure assembly.

The five-colored origami figures slowly reassembled themselves, forming the previous shape once more.

With another command, their energy bodies began to stir.

The sound of energy reverberated slowly throughout the basement.

The five-colored light enveloped the entire pentagonal shape, becoming increasingly dazzling.

Su Ping's heart stirred once more, watching intently.

The invisible origami figures, assembled into the Five Elements Array, instantly enveloped the entire shape!

It was complete!

Su Ping didn't feel excited but finally exhaled a long breath.

The origami figures, assembled into a new form, revealed their attributes:

[Five Elements Array (Origami Figure Assembly: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth x5)]



[Attributes: Undead, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]



[Current Rank: Elite Sixth Rank]



[Race Potential: Overlord First Rank (Special Form, Determined by Assembly Rank)]



[Skills: Origami Assembly (Proficient), Origami Folding (Skilled), Gold Weapon Technique (Beginner), Wood Thorn (Beginner), Water Shield (Beginner), Fireball (Beginner), Dust Stir (Beginner), Five Elements Conversion (Five Elements Array Exclusive Skill), Five Elements Synergy (Five Elements Array Exclusive Skill)]

This form...

Su Ping pursed his lips and blinked his eyes rapidly.

Then, the two exclusive skills of the Five Elements Paper Diagram appeared before Su Ping:

【Five Element Conversion (Exclusive Skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form): Able to freely convert any of the five elemental energies, causing the energy to rapidly form a powerful single-element energy.】

【Five Element Harmony (Exclusive Skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form): All Five Element skills level up, and all other skills levels will also increase!】

These two skills were easy to understand. The former was simply a skill of the Five Element Synthesis, allowing the five Origami Figures to concentrate the different elemental energies into one fist.

All the power of the body was focused on one point.

The latter was also the same idea, seemingly a derivative skill of the Five Element Synthesis, where one element's prosperity benefits all.

Looking at the overall picture, the patchwork form of the Five Element Paper Diagram did indeed have a higher potential ceiling compared to the single-element Paper Sword, as Su Ping had previously thought.

Even the racial ceiling had reached the Overlord Rank.

Five Elite Rank Pet Beasts, when combined, could experience a rapid increase in level and receive various ability boosts.

Indeed, it was quite impressive.

However, it was just impressive, nothing more.

This thing was still far from what was needed to participate in the Special Beastmaster Forces selection.

The five elemental energies continued to circulate.

In the Five Element Paper Diagram, this process became the Five Element Conversion skill.

But this was not the ultimate scenario Su Ping desired.

He wanted more than just this conversion.

Because he could see that in this combination of five Origami Figures, even with the conversion, there was still energy consumption.

Su Ping observed and recorded as he watched.

After about half an hour, the light emanating from the five Origami Figures began to gradually dim.

Su Ping finally derived some approximate data.

With each cycle, the initial total energy, when converted once on the Origami Figures, would decrease by about one-twentieth of the circulating energy.

It didn't seem like much.

But in reality, it was already significant.

Because this was the energy lost in a single conversion.

For example, if one wanted to convert Fire energy into Water, they would first have to convert Fire to Earth, then to Metal, and finally to Water.

Three conversions would result in the loss of energy from those three conversions.

If one wanted to convert Fire energy into the countering Wood element, then an additional conversion would be required, resulting in a loss of less than one-fifth of the energy.

Although this energy circulation was miraculous, its practicality was not high!

Therefore, as Su Ping had previously thought.

The most valuable potential of this five-element Origami Figure combination was twofold.

Firstly, as he had previously considered, it required the combination of the Five Element Hearts to form the Super Rank Skill 'Elemental Heart' with the help of Master Zhu Hong's experience.

The only question was whether these five-element Origami Figures had the potential to cultivate the Elemental Heart in their corresponding bodies.

If this was possible, in addition to cultivating these five-element Origami Figures, Su Ping was certain he could apply this ability to Little Paper Man Qian Yi.

At that time, after ascending to the Overlord Rank, Little Qian Yi, like the effect of the Sword Intent Origin, would be able to comprehend the Super Rank Skill 'Sword Intent'.

In an instant, Su Ping's Little Qian Yi would be able to master two Super Rank Skills at the Overlord Rank!

The other valuable potential was Su Ping's own wild idea.

Could this Five Element Rotation ability be amplified in other ways?

Su Ping sat there, looking at the continuously rotating Five Element Paper Diagram, his chin propped up as he fell into deep thought.

Obviously, the unused Little Qian Yi, after glancing at his master, also sat on the ground, chin propped up, immersed in deep thought: (｀_)ゝ

However, Little Qian Yi didn't know what his master was thinking.

But the problem Little Qian Yi was pondering was also extremely troubling for the little guy.

Even more troubling than Su Ping.

He was happy that his master had made these Origami Figures into swords.

But the problem was, how could he fit all these swords into his sword sheath and sword box?

Obviously, this was also a very challenging issue.

Just as the master and his pet were sitting there, pondering their respective problems, a phone call interrupted Su Ping's thoughts. Uncle Guan's voice came from the other end of the line:

"Xiao Ping, two people came to the door, saying they knew you in the Magic Capital, they're here to find you, surname Zhang!"

The Zhang brothers?

Su Ping was taken aback, not expecting them so soon?

Just right, he could also thoroughly understand the Five Element Paper Diagram and the writing in ancient serpentine script, what was going on.
