Chapter 222: The Combined Form of the Five Elements Origami Figure!

Chapter 222: The Combined Form of the Five Elements Origami Figure!

Sure enough, it was gone.

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

Su Ping was filled with grief and anger.

At least it could have said something before leaving. Birds from other places are so impolite!

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

"Hundred Birds, did the little crow show any reaction when it left?"

With his psychic communication ability, Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree understood Su Ping's meaning, then shook its head:

"It just left, without any reaction."

Su Ping nodded: "Then which direction did you see it flying towards?"

"The direction where the sun rises."

The east?

Su Ping subconsciously glanced towards the east, where the sky was the limit, even if he knew the direction, finding this little crow again would be a difficult task.

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

"Don't worry, later on, I'll build a special bird-raising facility for you..."

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

After comforting the Hundred Birds Phoenix Tree, Su Ping returned to the base.

After all, whether it was the fire-eating crow or the spirit 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 didn't rashly call Master Zhu Hong.

This Master Zhu Hong had come to Linzhou, and he surely had important matters to attend to as well.

Although Su Ping really wanted to seek guidance from this Master Zhu Hong, he still needed to exercise some restraint. Moreover, the current matter didn't require bothering this breeding master.

It would be impolite to bother someone who didn't know their priorities.

Su Ping hurried to his underground cemetery.

This area was just the place where Xiao Zhi had trained in the past. If Su Ping wanted to breed a large number of undead companion beasts in the future, this place would need to be expanded, but there was still time.

The reason was simple. First, apart from the origami figures, he didn't have any other undead companion beasts to focus on for the time being. Second, and more importantly, he hadn't decided on a name for this cemetery once it was built.

In the eerie basement, the cold white light of the incandescent lamps illuminated the area with a ghastly glow, perfectly fitting the atmosphere of an undead companion beast breeding site.

In this basement, numerous origami figures walked around.

"Wow! (I, Xiao Zhi, am back!)"

A flash of white light appeared, and Xiao Zhi, who had just teleported out from Su Ping's Beast Space, exclaimed with excitement.

After Su Ping reached the elite peak yesterday, Xiao Zhi's rank also advanced, and with the support of toxic resources, Xiao Qing broke through to the eighth stage of the elite rank.

Everything was ready, except for the east wind.

"Xiao Zhi, control all the origami figures!"

After Xiao Zhi comprehended the art of paper manipulation, Su Ping no longer needed to teach these stupid origami figures how to fold each component. This saved a lot of time.

Therefore, for the basic origami figures, Xiao Zhi was an indispensable operator! By letting Xiao Zhi help with the folding and control, these origami figures that were familiar with the folding process could transform directly in the future.

Xiao Zhi obeyed: ヽ(￣▽￣)



"Wow! (My sword!)"

However, this time, to Xiao Zhi's disappointment, Su Ping wasn't asking him to make a sword with these origami figures. At least not for now.

Su Ping took out the strange material that he had used to create the Five Elements Origami Figure and fell into deep thought.

Su Ping already understood the formation of the Five Elements Origami Figure.

However, whether these origami figures could assemble into the shape of the Five Elements Origami Figure was clearly a problem.

The advanced form of the origami figures.

It was crucial to ensure that the advantages of the origami figures were fully utilized: the faster the assembly, the stronger the combat power, and the more functions, the better! In summary, the more origami figures that could be assembled, the better.

If it was a Five Elements Origami Figure, five origami figures would be needed to assemble it.

But could multiple such Five Elements Origami Figures be combined like Lego toys, becoming larger and larger? It was useless to just think about it.

It was necessary to put it into practice to discover and solve problems.

So, Su Ping took a deep breath.

The origami figures in the room seemed to sense the fluctuations in their master's mood.

Under Xiao Zhi's control, they couldn't move.

Xiao Zhi was like a true general, and the other origami figures were like soldiers that could be assembled.

"Xiao Zhi, have five ordinary origami figures that have never combined before step forward!"

"Wow! (Step forward!)"

Five origami figures marched out of the crowd in perfect unison.

Su Ping took out several sheets of soul-suppressing paper, which were used to feed the origami figures.

The formation of the Five Elements Origami Figure was quite complex.

If Su Ping were to rely solely on the ancient notes and drafts that had been unearthed, it would take him several days just to research and have these origami figures assemble into a part of the Five Elements Origami Figure.

The reason was simple. This assembly wasn't just about having the right shape.

Even the body is just a channel for energy transportation.

What's truly important is forming a completely different energy exchange channel to create a cycle of the Five Elements! Of course, the Five Elements Formation diagram that the Zhang family brothers sold is a fairly reliable reference.

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

This is the energy movement trajectory, not only does it look complicated, but it's equally complex to operate.

However, nurturing a Companion Beast is not an easy task.

Su Ping thoroughly drew the basic outline of the Five Elements Formation on five sheets of Soul Suppressing Paper, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

He handed it over to Qian Yi to examine:

"The solid lines represent the direct energy transmission channels, the dotted lines indicate the energy fusion channels formed after the next assembly, and the arrows show the direction of energy transmission! You command them to get ready."

This is one of the advantages of Origami Figures.

Unlike ordinary Companion Beasts with flesh and blood or other mediums, Origami Figures use their paper bodies, meridians, and spiritual energy as a conduit for energy transmission.

This is also one of the main reasons Su Ping believes Origami Figures can be nurtured in this way.

Qian Yi's comprehension is exceptional.

Whether it's sword techniques, combat, or energy manipulation, the little guy is one in a million.

Well, in this regard, he takes after his owner.

They are absolute geniuses in their respective fields.

But Qian Yi is different.

However, these Origami Figures seem to be an exception.

Under Qian Yi's control, the five Origami Figures transformed into the desired forms.

Then, they truly assembled into the pentagon of the Five Elements Formation, forming the intended connections.

As expected, a problem arose.

'Bang!'

An incredibly muffled sound echoed.

Su Ping's vision exploded before his eyes.

The five Origami Figures burst out from the center like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, splitting into five directions.

Qian Yi immediately caught the Origami Figure that flew towards Su Ping and threw it back to its original position.

Then, he went to the five directions, pulled out the four Origami Figures that had been embedded in the wall countless times, and threw them back to their original positions to reassemble. After countless attempts, he looked towards his owner, deep in thought.

The meaning was clear:

"Can this thing really work?"

[?]



The question mark above Qian Yi's head had already encircled his entire head 360 degrees.

Moreover, a portion of it had already turned red.

This indicated that Qian Yi's doubts had reached their peak.

Clearly, the little guy didn't understand either.

Why would his owner not assemble these Origami Figures, which had already reached the peak and possessed various attributes, and let him assemble them into different swords, then allow them to evolve?

What's the use of such a large pentagon?

Can it be used as an explosive boomerang?

The little guy had some insights when he thought of this scene, but what Su Ping was thinking at this moment was still unknown.

Su Ping didn't pay attention to Qian Yi's anomaly.

He also knew the little guy's doubts.

He had anticipated this situation.

Su Ping guessed there were two reasons.

The first and simplest reason was that these Origami Figures did not follow the energy flow lines he had drawn, resulting in the energy repelling each other and exploding.

Therefore, the energy directly exploded.

However, looking at the little Origami Figures, it seemed like the little guy had already made the necessary arrangements.

There was another simple reason: the ordinary energy of Origami Figures couldn't complete energy fusion like normal cases, such as the Five Elements Formation.

This also made Su Ping aware.

The paper bodies of Origami Figures couldn't be assembled casually.

Previously, using the sword body to assemble them was a matter of luck and having the cultivation diary of Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing, which provided insights into nurturing sword-type Companion Beasts.

Under these circumstances, the little Origami Figures' sword assembly and energy manipulation went smoothly.

Otherwise, if they wanted to casually find a form and assemble it, there was a high possibility that the energy would be slightly compatible, and they would fly out during the assembly process, just like what happened now.

However, Su Ping was not the least bit discouraged.

He became energized again.

As the saying goes, research and nurturing are essentially processes of finding and solving problems.

Thinking of this, Su Ping exhaled.

He gave Qian Yi another command.

Then, fifteen new Origami Figures walked out.

Fortunately, there were enough Origami Figures prepared beforehand, and during Su Ping's absence, Old Guan didn't let them idle. The daily feeding of Soul Suppressing Paper ensured their growth.

So, these Origami Figures grew up relatively well.

Su Ping took a quick glance, divided them into five groups of similar levels, and called Old Guan, who was on standby, to inform him.

Fifteen sets of materials, fifteen Origami Beasts, and five more Origami Beasts that had already completed their assembly continued to practice.

These fifteen Origami Beasts were assembled into swords corresponding to the Five Elements.

Then, under these circumstances, they evolved!

Not to mention, among the three swords of Qian Yi, only the Fire Sword belonged to the Five Elements.

The Thunder Sword and Wind Sword were not part of this group.

Five beams of evolution light illuminated the entire basement, and Su Ping's gaze had already calmed down.

After all, as the type of Companion Beast he personally developed, the evolution of the Origami Beasts no longer caused any ripples in his heart.

The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to release this novel.

His only thought now was still about the effect of the evolution and assembly.

He wondered if it would turn out as he imagined.

He wanted to see if it was a problem with the energy flow route or if it was because they weren't part of the Five Elements, making it impossible to merge.

Even if it were the former reason, these five Origami Beasts that could be assembled into the corresponding Paper Sword forms of their respective attributes could still be used as Qian Yi's swords, and it wouldn't be a waste of talent.

Five Origami Beasts assembled the Five Element Swords.

With a single command from Su Ping, under Qian Yi's control, the fifteen evolved Origami Beasts disassembled, transforming into white, red, blue, green, and yellow Origami Beasts corresponding to their respective attributes.

Then, Su Ping exhaled again and gave Qian Yi further instructions.

Ignoring the five Origami Beasts that were still exploding, these five Origami Beasts slowly came together, and under Su Ping's careful selection, they were all at the same rank, all having reached the Elite First Rank!

Using paper manipulation to form the corresponding shapes was something Qian Yi had already mastered.

Although he didn't understand his master's intentions, Qian Yi still executed everything meticulously.

Finally, the five Origami Beasts of different colors slowly reassembled themselves into the previous shape.

Then, with another command, their energy bodies began to stir.

'Buzz'

The sound of energy activation slowly began in the basement.

Su Ping's mood was lifted once again.

While every step of breeding a Companion Beast was a new challenge, this was just the first step! There were still many difficulties ahead, such as breeding the respective Elemental Hearts and the amplification of the Five Elements' circulation.

If even the most basic assembly required several days, then whether he could create a satisfactory product before the Special Beast Tamer Forces' breeding master selection was a big question mark.

The energy began to intertwine.

On this pentagonal regular graphic, with the center point as the core, a five-colored light began to appear.

However, this time, the violent trembling wave of energy did not occur.

The five-colored light slowly bloomed, becoming more and more dazzling.

It enveloped the entire pentagonal shape.

Then, under Su Ping's gaze, this wave of light slowly began to flow!

The invisible Origami Beast, assembled into the Five Element Formation, instantly enveloped the entire pentagonal shape!

It was complete!

Su Ping wasn't excited; instead, he finally exhaled a long breath.

Was it really because they didn't have their respective attributes that they couldn't use the basic Origami Beasts to assemble this Five Element Formation? It seemed to verify Su Ping's thoughts. After the Origami Beasts were assembled and their shapes completely connected, this energy formation also changed accordingly.

It was similar to when they were assembled into complete Element Swords, giving a feeling that even their souls had been connected.

This made the Origami Beasts at this moment seem even more like real Companion Beasts.

Origami Beasts were very special Companion Beasts. Their bodies and souls were not complete; only after assembly could they fully understand their master's commands and carry out all instructions.

It was precisely because of this reason that after their assembly, the remaining bodies that were connected could also be absorbed into the master's Beast Space, making them the master's Companion Beasts.

This also meant that at the same rank, as long as there were enough Origami Beasts and the assembly shape was correct, the upper limit of this ability could be like Lego, infinitely stacked.

This was the potential of the Origami Beasts.

Of course, the difficulty was also immense.

And now, the Origami Beast shape assembled from five Origami Beasts was naturally stronger than the sword shape assembled from three Origami Beasts.

At this moment, the True Eye also revealed the abilities of the Origami Beasts' new form:

【Five Element Paper Diagram (Origami Beast Assembly Form)】

【Attributes: Undead, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth】

【Current Rank: Elite Sixth Rank】

【Race Potential: Overlord First Rank (Special Form, Determined by Assembly Rank)】

The skill set: Paper Body Assembly (Mastery), Paper Body Folding (Proficiency), Metal Spear Technique (Beginner), Wood Spikes (Beginner), Water Shield (Beginner), Fireball (Beginner), Dust Storm (Beginner), Five Elements Conversion (Exclusive skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form), and Five Elements Harmony (Exclusive skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form).

This form...

Su Ping pursed his lips and blinked rapidly.

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

Five Elements Conversion (Exclusive skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form): Freely convert any of the five elements, allowing the energy to quickly form a powerful single-element energy.

Five Elements Harmony (Exclusive skill of the Five Elements Paper Diagram Form): All Five Elements skills are enhanced, and the levels of all other skills will also increase!

These two skills were indeed easy to understand. The former was simply a skill derived from the Five Elements Mutual Generation, capable of gathering the energies of these five Origami Beasts into a single fist.

Focusing all power into one area.

The latter was also similar, seemingly another skill derived from the Five Elements Mutual Generation, following the principle of mutual prosperity.

Overall, as Su Ping had expected, the assembled form of the Five Elements Paper Diagram indeed had a higher potential ceiling compared to the single-element Paper Sword.

Even the racial potential reached the Overlord Rank.

With five Elite First-Rank Companion Beasts assembled, their levels skyrocketed, and they gained various ability boosts.

It was indeed quite impressive.

However, it was just good, not exceptional.

This was still far from what was needed to participate in the Special Beast Taming selection.

The five elemental energies continued to circulate.

In the Five Elements Diagram, this process became the skill of Five Elements Conversion.

But this was not the final scene Su Ping desired.

He wanted more than just such a conversion.

Because he knew that with these five Origami Beasts assembled into a diagram, even with such a conversion, the energy would still be consumed.

Su Ping observed and recorded as he went.

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

Su Ping finally obtained a rough estimate of the data.

With each cycle, the initial total energy on the Origami Beasts decreased by about one-twentieth of the circulating energy during each conversion.

It didn't seem like much.

But in reality, it was already quite significant.

Because this was the data of the energy lost in a single conversion.

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

Three conversions meant three times the energy loss.

If one wanted to convert Fire energy into the opposing Wood energy, it would require an additional conversion, making it four conversions in total, resulting in a loss of less than one-fifth of the original energy.

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

Therefore, as Su Ping had previously thought, the most valuable possibilities of this Five Elements Origami Beast assembly were only twofold.

Firstly, as he had initially speculated, it required the assembly of the Five Elements Hearts to form the Super Rank Skill 'Elemental Heart'!

However, for this, he needed Master Zhu Hong's help.

Looking at the Five Elements Origami Beasts, he wondered if they had the potential to cultivate the Elemental Heart on their corresponding bodies.

If this was possible, in addition to cultivating these Five Elements Origami Beasts, Su Ping was a hundred percent certain that this ability could be applied to Little Qian Yi.

When Qian Yi reached the Overlord Rank, just like the Sword Intent Origin, he would be able to comprehend the Super Rank Skill 'Sword Intent'.

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

The other valuable possibility was Su Ping's own wild idea,

Wondering if he could amplify this Five Elements rotation ability in other ways.

Su Ping sat there, watching the Five Elements Paper Diagram continuously spinning, his chin propped up as he fell into deep thought.

And it was clear that Little Qian Yi, who had no use for the time being, glanced at his master, then sat down on the ground, propping up his chin and also falling into deep thought:

(｀_)ゝ

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

But the Five Elements Origami Beasts made him happy, as his master had given him a sword made from these Origami Beasts.

The problem was, with more and more swords, how could he fit them all into his sword sheath and scabbard?

It was clear that this was also a challenging problem.

Just as the master and his companion were deep in thought, a phone call interrupted Su Ping. Guan Shu's voice came from the other end:

"Xiao Ping, two people have arrived at the door. They say they know you from Metropolis, and their surname is Zhang!"

The Zhang brothers?

Su Ping was taken aback. He hadn't expected them to arrive so soon.

It was a good opportunity to understand the origins of the Five Elements Diagram and the ancient script written on it.
