Chapter 235: The Nearly Completed Elemental Core!
Chapter 235: The Nearly Completed Elemental Core!
The Necro Basement remains unchanged, its interior shrouded in darkness. Yet, at this moment, Master Zhu Hong's joy cannot be contained.
For Master Zhu Hong, creating a corresponding Elemental Core for a pet beast is not a significant challenge, and it is even something he excels at.
However, having the opportunity to cultivate five Elemental Cores, or even seven or eight, for the same type of pet beast is an intriguing endeavor.
As Su Ping enters the basement, he notices, without a word, the crimson origami figure standing at the far end of the room, beside Master Zhu Hong.
This origami figure stands out from the rest of the Fire Origami Figures with its distinct appearance.
Its body is primarily crimson, and the flame's glow is dazzling, not just a mere color, but a vibrant radiance akin to genuine fire.
Enveloped in flames, this origami figure contrasts sharply with the other Fire Origami Figures that are merely red.
Su Ping's True Eye activates, and he examines the creature:
【Origami Figure·Fire (Wild)】
【Attributes: Necro, Fire】
【Current Level: Elite Sixth Rank】
【Race Potential: Elite Tenth Rank】
【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Master), Paper Body Splicing·Fire (Master), Paper Body Compression (Beginner), Fireball (Proficient), Fire Core (Beginner)】
Indeed, it is the Fire Core.
Su Ping exhales deeply.
Master Zhu Hong smiles and asks, "How is it? Any issues?"
Su Ping nods repeatedly, "No issues, none at all."
He regains his composure and turns to Master Zhu Hong:
"Master Zhu, now that the Fire Core cultivation is complete, can we quickly cultivate the remaining Elemental Cores using the Fire Core cultivation method?"
Master Zhu Hong nods:
"That's right. Resources exhibit interrelated properties between different attributes and similar natures. With the Fire Core research completed, according to the same type of cultivation, as long as the origami figure itself is fine, the remaining Elemental Cores will be cultivated soon."
Simultaneously, a new log appears on the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger regarding the Origami Figure Record:
【Origami Figure cultivates Fire Core skill, gaining 200 Ledger Experience Points!】
Although it's not much, every little bit counts.
However, Su Ping is not concerned about this at the moment. He continues to ask:
"Master Zhu, if every origami figure has this Fire Core skill, will the effect be enhanced?"
The most significant difference between origami figures and other pet beasts is their ability to be spliced.
Master Zhu Hong ponders for a moment and shakes his head: "It's possible, but there's no need. During this time, I've also carefully studied this origami figure, and it's indeed intriguing. However, the Fire Core's ability affects the core and above."
After splicing, the energy circulation in the origami figures is entirely interconnected. If one origami figure has this Fire Core skill, having more might cause energy absorption and circulation to become disordered."
Su Ping nods in agreement.
He directly says:
"Since that's the case, let's not waste time. Master Zhu, can I assist in cultivating the corresponding Elemental Cores?"
Master Zhu Hong doesn't even think twice before handing over the notebook: "Why are you being so polite? This origami figure is your research, and I'm merely cultivating and researching based on it.
Moreover, this origami figure's Five Elements rotation has given me new insights into elemental cultivation. If you're willing to help, it would be great."
Although Master Zhu Hong says this, the development of the Fire Core is his independent research and cultivation. It's only natural for Su Ping to inquire about it.
As they examine the notebook, Master Zhu Hong explains on the side:
"Resources have strong commonalities between different attributes. The amount of energy and emphasis on attributes vary, resulting in differences between resources of the same level and attributes. However, if you find the balance point between them, you can explore the commonalities of other attributes.
For example, the Wood Spirit Grass of the Wood attribute and the Flying Flame Flower of the Fire attribute..."
Master Zhu Hong's explanations are crystal clear, and Su Ping listens attentively.
Such opportunities are genuinely rare.
Su Ping has never believed that having the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger means he doesn't need to pay attention to these renowned cultivation masters.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the various effects of the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger that he holds these numerous cultivation masters in even higher esteem.
The master before him, Master Zhu Hong, is undoubtedly one of them.
Moreover, after listening to Master Zhu Hong's guidance on cultivating the Fire Core, not only Su Ping but even the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger provides a prompt:
【Discovered 'Origami Figure' special cultivation method in the ledger: Fire Core cultivation.】
It's a simple prompt, but even the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger doesn't require Su Ping to use ledger experience to improve anything. It's evident that, in the Ten Thousand Spirit Ledger's assessment, Master Zhu Hong's Fire Core cultivation for the origami figure doesn't need any improvements.
In just a few days, a brand-new pet beast cultivation skill has been perfected.
The capabilities of an elemental cultivation master should not be underestimated.
More importantly, as Su Ping mentioned earlier, the skills of the Elemental Cores are interconnected.
With the Fire Core cultivated for the origami figure, the remaining Five Elements Cores are not far behind.
On the side, Liu Fuhai can't help but sigh.
These past few days, he's been busy juggling multiple tasks.
There was no other way, the research conditions Su Ping offered were simply too tempting.
A brand new origami figure evolutionary form.
And it was such a special evolutionary form.
For the time being, the Five Elements Mutual Transformation didn't require his involvement. What he was doing was different from Master Zhu Hong; he was merely strengthening the levels of these elemental origami figures while also exploring more fundamental evolutionary forms.
For many beast breeders, this was a challenging task, but for him, it was nothing.
Beast evolution, as long as it wasn't some particularly bizarre and tricky evolutionary form, had a traceable path.
For example, after evolving into an elemental origami figure, the paper body compression skill that appeared on the origami figure was Liu Fuhai's main research focus during these days.
This skill was also the primary focus of his training.
Paper body compression, through continuous compression, made the paper body itself stronger, and with resource enhancement, the paper body's area increased. Under constant compression, the origami figure's strength would become even greater.
After reaching the peak level and the paper body compression skill reaching a high level, a new basic evolutionary form would naturally emerge.
Once the realm and quality were improved, the Five Elements Mutual Transformation would naturally begin again.
Therefore, even though he had finally become the new officer-in-charge at the Beast Breeder Association, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, his main focus during these days was on the Wood Heart.
Nonsense, this involved two super-tier skills and the research of a brand new beast breeding form. How could anyone, even a senior beast breeder like him, resist such a temptation?
Didn't they see that Master Zhu Hong was also holding back during these days, even temporarily setting aside the evolution of his Earth Dragon?
In fact, it proved that this trip was indeed very fruitful.
Thinking of this, Old Liu spoke to the two who were discussing: "Su Ping, the five origami figures you initially bred have already reached the Elite Seventh Rank! Do you want to try the Five Elements Mutual Transformation again?"
Hmm? Both Su Ping and Zhu Hong turned their heads.
Elemental Heart and Five Elements Mutual Transformation, there was no doubt that the latter was more important among these two super-tier skills.
Elemental Heart was a relatively popular super-tier skill, and as a representative super-tier skill, it seemed not weak, but it was still not as good as the Five Elements Mutual Transformation, which gave him a greater sense of accomplishment since he had cultivated it from the very beginning.
Elite Seventh Rank represented the elite high-level category, and for the origami figures with a racial limit of Elite Apex, it was already a significant threshold.
Such a level breakthrough naturally had the significance of further experimentation.
Su Ping nodded: "Okay!"
"Qian Yi!"
Su Ping roared, and Qian Yi, who was practicing sword techniques against a mannequin in the reinforced glass of the Necro Basement, turned his head and hurriedly flew to Su Ping's side:
"Wow!"
Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong also smiled as they watched this contracted beast of Su Ping, a small paper swordsman, whom they also liked very much.
And most importantly, the origami figure's soul was incomplete, making it difficult to understand the breeder's commands, which required the help of the little paper swordsman.
"These five, let them form the Five Elements Paper Array again."
Liu Fuhai pointed at the five origami figures he bred, which had reached the Elite Seventh Rank, and conveyed the command to the little guy.
Qian Yi nodded and began arranging.
Soon, under the gaze of the three, the familiar Five Elements Paper Array was once again assembled.
However, it was evident that the origami figures that had reached the Elite Seventh Rank, after forming the Five Elements Array, were somewhat different.
The realm and level had reached the Elite Apex.
The energy fluctuations of the Five Elements were even more intense and fervent.
Such power brought the energy of the entire Five Elements Paper Array to a peak.
"Begin!"
Following Su Ping's voice, the Five Elements Mutual Transformation started again.
As expected, on the energy detection device, at the moment the Five Elements Array transformed, the energy released was significantly stronger compared to when the origami figures were only at the Elite First Rank.
Energy Detection: 184.
The initial Fire Element origami figure's energy was activated to 184.
At the same time, Fire Generates Earth, through the path of mutual transformation, slowly interweaved.
Earth Element energy detection: 184.
Earth Generates Metal, energy detection: 184.
Metal Generates Water, energy detection: 184.
Water Generates Wood, energy detection: 184.
Wood Generates Fire, energy detection: 184.
This number seemed large, doubling the initial value.
However, the enhancement of super-tier skills was not so simple.
For example, Master Sha's Sun Core, although he was only at the Monarch First Rank, the normal skill energy detection value was only around six thousand.
But, the Sun Core's continuous support allowed Master Sha to reach an energy value of over twenty thousand, a fourfold increase.
Not to mention the Sun Beast Cannon, which could create cracks in the Forest Sea Realm, its energy value could even exceed one hundred thousand, undoubtedly a super-tier skill, and a high-level one at that.
Such enhancement, even dozens of times, was not uncommon nowadays. At present, this Five Elements Mutual Transformation did not meet the expectations of a super-tier skill.
Therefore,
At this point, the few exchanged glances and involuntarily held their breath, knowing that the critical moment was approaching.
A complete Five Elements Mutual Transformation, and before this, almost never had the Five Elements Mutual Transformation break through to the next level.
Every time it started, the process would explode in a burst of energy.
Obviously, it was an issue with the quality of the origami figure. Now, with the level of the origami figure increased, it was unknown whether the energy limit it could withstand would further increase based on the level upgrade.
The three of them stared at the scene before them, while Master Zhu Hong and Old Liu also prepared to intervene at any moment to prevent any unforeseen issues.
The crimson energy fluctuation lit up once again.
At the same time, the Earth, Wood, and even Metal elements lit up, causing the Five Elements Array to glow with yellow, red, green, and white lights.
The next moment, the crimson energy fluctuation slowly moved towards the next rotation.
Everyone held their breath.
Then, within their line of sight, the crimson light gradually faded, and the next moment, the yellow light was released.
Success!
Not only Su Ping, but also Master Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai, clenched their fists in excitement, intently watching the scene before them.
At the same time, the energy detection device aimed at this side showed the most intuitive numerical increase.
This increase surprised all three of them.
Earth Energy Fluctuation Detection: 794!
A direct increase of 50% from the previous 533!
This was an unprecedented increase.
A full fifty percent!
The three of them exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Then, the rotation began again.
Earth continued to rotate towards Metal.
However, this time, the energy reaction returned to about 20% of the previous process.
Metal: 960!
Water: 1142!
Wood: 1380!
Just as the three of them thought that this energy conversion of the Five Elements Mutual Transformation would continue to complete a full rotation, at the moment when the Fire element was the center point, during the process of Wood Generates Fire, a change occurred.
'Boom!'
An explosion sounded.
The originally fused Five Elements Origami Figure exploded again.
Fortunately, the two beside him were not only cultivators but also advanced beastmasters.
Their immense psychic energy instantly emerged, dissipating the explosion, and the five scattered origami figures caught them, while the resources for recovery were already prepared.
After doing all this, the three of them finally exhaled.
"It's still not enough! Although the origami figure's realm has improved, the energy contained within it is also much stronger than before. Although the upper limit of endurance has increased, the increase is still not enough."
Su Ping said.
Liu Fuhai, who was beside him, thought for a moment and said,
"Su Ping, can the energy of the Five Elements Mutual Transformation driven by the initial Fire origami figure be slightly reduced? The starting point for driving this Fire origami figure is 184. If it's halved, starting from 92, will the completed rotation be more significant?"
Su Ping helplessly shook his head. If it were that simple, it would be great, but before he could speak, Master Zhu Hong beside him said,
"The mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements not only utilizes the power of this origami figure. Old Liu, what you see is only the energy driven by the origami figure. In fact, when the rotation starts, the energy within the other origami figures also needs to be coordinated according to the principle of mutual generation and restraint.
This is the core of the Five Elements Array, so the energy driven is difficult to change. According to my experience with advanced skills and elemental cultivation, to achieve the perfect formation of this advanced skill, at least three to five grand rotations are required! And it's not certain if other conditions are needed."
"Three to five times?"
Even Su Ping and Liu Fuhai were taken aback.
Five grand rotations, from Fire back to Fire, is one grand rotation. Old Liu spent half a month cultivating this origami figure, painstakingly cultivating it to the Elite Rank, barely completing more than half a grand rotation. However, three more are needed to have a chance to form an advanced skill?
The difficulty is indeed high.
Su Ping didn't seem to mind and remained full of confidence.
"If it were easy, wouldn't advanced skills be everywhere? But, we do have a direction now!
First, and most importantly, when the five origami figures of the Five Elements each complete the cultivation of their respective Elemental Hearts, and after merging into the Five Elements Origami, will it make the Five Elements rotation easier and simpler?
You two, with your experience, must know the effects of the Elemental Hearts better than I do."
Seeing the sudden brightness in their eyes, Su Ping continued with a slight smile,
"Secondly, this has only reached the Elite High Rank. When it reaches the Elite Apex, and the Five Elements Origami's splicing form reaches the Leader First Rank, let's see if there will be greater progress. And most importantly, what if the origami figure undergoes another evolution?
Old Liu, the enhancement of the origami figure can reduce the materials for energy increase and instead enhance the strength of the origami figure's body."
Old Liu nodded.
Regardless, although it was still challenging, there was no doubt that the experimental results achieved in less than half a month were worth getting excited about for everyone.
Including Su Ping.
At the same time, the cultivation of the Fire Heart was also completed.
This also gave Su Ping full confidence in the cultivation of the Elemental Hearts.
Indeed, the research and cultivation of the Fire Heart took less than half a month,
but in the following few days, in just two or three days, Su Ping and Master Zhu Hong together cultivated the Wood Heart for the Wood origami figure.
At the same time, time passed slowly amidst this busy schedule.
The day of the competition was drawing closer.
