Chapter 261: The Pinnacle of the Five Elements! The Emergence of Super-Tier Skills!

Chapter 261: The Pinnacle of the Five Elements! The Emergence of Super-Tier Skills!

It was finally done!

Although it had taken many days, this completion was something Su Ping had anticipated, and in his eyes, it was already an expected outcome.

However, upon hearing that the day had finally arrived, Su Ping's emotions were still surging with unparalleled intensity.

Although the time required to use the Five Elements of Life and Death seemed much shorter compared to the Sun Heart's cultivation of the Thousand Wood Wolf, it was still a significant achievement.

Moreover, Su Ping had the assistance of Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai.

But the effort expended was still considerable.

Not to mention the cost of cultivation, which was already in the billions, as Su Ping continuously cultivated the Origami Man, using massive amounts of resources. The expenditure of money was immeasurable.

And the formation of the Sun Heart was truly dramatic.

The smoothness of its appearance surprised even Su Ping.

As for the Five Elements of Life and Death, although Su Ping was able to stand on the shoulders of giants due to Xue Hongluan's existence, she only provided a preliminary formation and concept.

The subsequent improvements and adjustments for compatibility with the Origami Man were tasks that Su Ping had to carefully fine-tune.

Therefore, the effort expended was indeed substantial.

Of course, if it were merely a matter of completing the cultivation of a true super-tier skill, no one would refuse such an opportunity!

With this thought in mind, Su Ping quickened his pace.

He arrived at the laboratory that had been temporarily repaired in place of the perished cultivation room.

Upon seeing Su Ping, the two old men, who were so excited that they had forgotten their manners, waved their hands and said, "Quick, let's begin the Five Elements of Life and Death rotation experiment after the assembly!"

Su Ping nodded. Even without Qian Yi, he had become very familiar with the assembly and fusion process through numerous experiments with the most proficient groups of Five Elements Origami Men.

This also implied that whether in the form of the Paper Sword or the Five Elements Paper Diagram, as the souls continued to connect and assemble, the Origami Men would become more naturally integrated.

Eventually, they would truly become one.

This was the conclusion that Su Ping, Zhu Hong, and Liu Fuhai had reached during this period.

Furthermore, it was precisely because of this conclusion that there was a certain correlation with the potential for the Origami Men to evolve further.

Su Ping paid no heed to this correlation. During this time, apart from the routine cultivation of the Origami Men and the continuous improvement of the Five Elements of Life and Death, he also addressed some other issues.

It must be said that Su Ping's decision to collaborate with Master Zhu Hong and Master Liu Fuhai on the Five Elements of Life and Death was an incredibly wise choice.

Otherwise, without the experience of these two individuals, it would have taken him at least half a year to reach this point.

Just like with the Sun Heart before.

By that time, the selection for the Heaven Tomb Special Beast Taming Cultivation Troops would have long passed.

But now, they had reached the most critical juncture.

"This time, among the twenty-five Origami Men we cultivated, several of them have broken through to the Proficiency Level in their Five Elements of Life and Death! Additionally, with our relentless resource cultivation, they have finally reached the Overlord Fifth Rank.

We have optimized various aspects from the energy cycle, and within the operation of the Five Elements of Life and Death, we have made the most significant improvement in energy sustainability, focusing on long-lasting energy output rather than just the energy cycle of life and death."

Liu Fuhai excitedly flipped through his notes, he spoke.

This was the improvement and suggestions for the Five Elements Paper Diagram in combat that Su Ping had brought back from the Xuan Snake Mystic Realm.

Now, with the final rotation, these suggestions were thoroughly implemented through the efforts of the three over these past days.

As for the improvement of the Five Elements of Life and Death? The reason was simple.

Currently, Su Ping had over a hundred Origami Men, and during this period, they had been rapidly cultivating their respective Elemental Hearts. The purpose was to connect and share skills among the Origami Men, allowing for rapid skill enhancement.

And now, that goal had been tentatively achieved.

After advancing to the Overlord Rank, the connection-sharing effect of the Skill Tome reached a hundred pets.

With a full hundred pets capable of connecting and sharing skills for rapid cultivation, skill level enhancement had become a quickly achievable goal within Su Ping's Wood Heart.

This was like adding wings to Su Ping's cultivation efforts.

Finally, all this hard work had borne fruit.

Liu Fuhai quickly activated the Energy Detection Device.

Zhu Hong, who was already familiar with the process, summoned the Great Yellow at this moment.

Great Yellow, who had not been paying much attention, saw its owner and Su Ping, the little ancestor. It thought that its owner was going to take it out to play again.

However, upon seeing the Five Elements Paper Diagram slowly assembling before its eyes, Great Yellow immediately reacted: "Roar!"

Great Yellow roared at Zhu Hong.

Then, it pointed one of its claws at its own scales, which had not yet recovered from the previous explosion and were still charred black.

The meaning was self-evident.

Zhu Hong scratched his head,

then patted his chest:

"Great Yellow, rest assured! This time, there definitely won't be an explosion!"

"Roar!"

Great Yellow continued to roar. Did this old man think he was a fool?

He had made the same promise before, and look what happened?

After experiencing two explosions, could there be a third or even a fourth?

Ever since coming to this stinky brat's place, this old man had become less enthusiastic towards Great Yellow! He had promised that this time, they would break through to the Holy Spirit Rank in their element evolution!

Puppeteers' words were as good as lies!

And that little bastard over there!

Great Yellow also roared at the somewhat bewildered Su Ping.

Ever since coming to this brat, nothing good had happened.

Before, the Husky that used to frolic around with Great Yellow was now aimlessly wandering. But in Great Yellow's opinion, it was a Dragon!

It was the pinnacle of the pet world!

Coming to this remote corner of the countryside, it should have been revered by puppeteers and beast tamers alike. But look what happened?

Last time, I saw that huge, fiery red bird, and it almost scared the wits out of Old Huang.

What the heck was that thing? It's not like this kid is any better!

Old Huang was seething with resentment.

In front of Su Ping and Liu Fuhai, Master Zhu Hong also felt a bit embarrassed by Old Huang's complaints. But this time, he assured him, "Old Huang, rest assured. After this is done, your evolution and nurturing will be complete. Moreover, through the Five Elements Cycle, I have a new idea for your elemental evolution. If all goes well, not only will your racial potential breakthrough, but you might even directly advance to the Holy Spirit Rank!"

"By then, you and I, as master and pet, will enter the Holy Spirit Rank together. You should think about what title you want to take on as a Holy Spirit. After reaching that rank and returning to Dragon City, how will you face the Dragon Clan?"

"So, once this Origami Man's nurturing is complete, you and I can reach the pinnacle of life together!" Master Zhu Hong spoke with great persuasiveness.

Old Huang's eyes, like copper bells, rounded as he looked at Master Zhu Hong, almost wanting to make the old man swear by the light.

For the first time, he showed a strong distrust towards his own beast tamer.

However, it must be said that the old man was indeed skilled at making promises.

He seemed to recall some of his kin in Dragon City and thought about the future, where he would rise to the Holy Spirit Rank and return to his homeland in glory. Old Huang straightened his back, determined to trust the old man one last time.

Old Huang let out a soft, low growl.

Su Ping, on the other hand, took an interested glance at the large earth dragon.

After spending so much time together, he had developed a liking and interest in Old Huang.

It seemed like having a dragon pet would be amazing, but he shook his head, knowing that dragon pets were rare.

Nevertheless, Master Zhu Hong's words were trustworthy.

Did Master Zhu Hong have any new insights into Old Huang's evolution through the Five Elements Cycle?

Previously, Master Zhu Hong had mentioned that Old Huang's evolution was primarily Wood-type...

Wood and Earth...

Gray?

Su Ping quickly dismissed this absurd thought from his mind and focused entirely on the Five Elements Origami Map in front of him, which had been reassembled.

The other two also became serious.

They all looked at the assembled Five Elements Origami Map: "Let's begin!"

Begin!

This Five Elements Rotation had been performed countless times.

Su Ping hoped this would be the last time.

A fiery red glow slowly flickered from the rotating wheel of the Five Elements Origami Map.

Su Ping's cultivation level had reached Overlord Fifth Rank, considered the intermediate stage of the Overlord Rank.

The assembled Five Elements Origami Map had also reached the Overlord Ninth Rank.

Therefore, the first flickering fire elemental energy fluctuation was even more intense than before.

3107!

The first Great Cycle completed with extreme speed.

Returning to the Fire Type energy, it had already increased to 7059!

This was also more than double the previous amount.

The second Great Cycle, 15601! The increase continued but at a slightly lower rate.

The third Great Cycle, 28958! The increase kept decreasing, but it was still within the acceptable range. However, the overall increase of the Great Cycles had started to shrink.

The fourth Great Cycle, 50015! This increase was at its lowest, not even doubling the previous amount. However, the massive base number made Su Ping and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

And so, they arrived at the most crucial moment, the fifth Great Cycle! At this point, not only did they stop their casual conversations, but they even held their breaths.

They stared intently at the Origami Map.

It was still Fire to Earth, but the energy conversion at this stage made them all pause: 56127!

Not too much, but too little!

Previously, each derived Five Elements Cycle had a leverage force of around twenty percent.

In other words, the normal energy value should have been around 60,000 points.

But this time, it had only increased by about ten percent.

Suddenly, Su Ping felt like he had caught onto something.

Perhaps this was the endpoint of the Five Elements Cycle?

As expected, when it rotated again, Earth to Metal, the white energy cave only showed a slightly lower number: 6059!

The increase was not even up to ten percent.

Metal to Water, energy value: 65587!

Water to Wood, energy value: 70358!

At this point, even Su Ping's heart skipped a beat.

The last time, the energy rotation had exploded at this stage.

This was the ultimate threshold of the Super Tier Skill, the most critical step in truly unlocking a new Super Tier Skill.

It seemed like the Five Elements Origami Map also understood what this moment meant.

The light on its body flickered and then stopped.

At the Water to Wood stage, the green Wood-type energy couldn't convert back to fiery red.

The final Wood to Fire conversion process took a full three seconds, and there was still no reaction.

These were the longest three seconds!

Not just Su Ping, but Liu Fuhai, Master Zhu Hong, and even Old Huang held their breaths in tension.

Old Huang had experienced the explosion from the last time.

This explosion had occurred at this very stage.

Would it happen again?

After all, if he remembered correctly, the last time an explosion occurred, this thing seemed to be just as bright?

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Just as Huang Tianbing was about to take the initiative to open the defensive shell, the moment arrived.

As if time had started flowing again, the Five Elements energy that had stopped shimmering began to change once more.

Red!

The crimson hue on the Five Elements Origami Map was dazzling!

It was so splendid and colorful.

The three people present felt a sense of dizziness and bewilderment.

Because this represented, as Liu Fu Hai had said on the phone, was the breakthrough of the fifth Great Cycle!

It was also what Zhu Hong had anticipated; perhaps after the formation, it would stimulate a qualitative change in the Great Cycle!

Energy Value: 73958!

This increase was even lower than any previous one.

Forget about ten percent, it was only a mere five percent increase.

However, the few people had already comprehended all the rules!

Zhu Hong exhaled deeply:

"As expected, in such a Five Elements transformation, it's absolutely impossible to keep increasing infinitely. The true perfect Five Elements cycle of creation and restraint is a self-rotating energy of perfect harmony."

"After reaching the critical point, under the enhancement derived from the rotation, the power tends to the perfect peak of the perfect plane!"

Su Ping and Liu Fu Hai fell silent.

Looking at the Five Elements Origami Map that had stopped rotating, at this moment, Su Ping suddenly spoke:

"Then, if we continue to rotate, what will happen?"

The two were stunned, and the big yellow dog beside them glared at this kid.

Damn, this kid is definitely not a good person.

However, before they could say anything, and even before the Origami Man's Five Elements Origami Map could continue its attempt to rotate, Su Ping provided the answer:

"After the qualitative change reaches its limit, the energy produced by the perpetual motion machine that continues to operate will transform into a quantitative change in output."

Su Ping's words stunned the two again, and they immediately turned to look at the Five Elements Origami Map.

At this very moment, as Su Ping had said, under the continuous rotation of the five Great Cycles, the endurance limit of the Five Elements Origami Map had been reached.

In fact, if this energy were an external attack, forget about over seventy thousand, even if it were reduced by one or two times, an ordinary Five Elements Origami Map at the Overlord Rank would still struggle to withstand it.

However, this energy was rotating within the Five Elements Origami Map, and with the absorption of the Elemental Core, it was able to withstand such a degree of output.

Of course, the most important factor was the Origami Man's special body and his two-stage evolution, as well as Liu Fu Hai's specialized enhancement of the Origami Man in this aspect.

So, after Su Ping proposed this idea, Zhu Hong and Liu Fu Hai turned to look at him:

"Then, do you want to try it again?"

The Five Great Cycles were completed, but the Five Elements Origami Map in front of them seemed to have not yet completed the skill fusion and awakening.

Since it hasn't been completed yet, it's obvious that the requirements for forming this Super Tier Skill have not been met.

"Continue!"

Without needing others to instruct, the Five Elements Origami Map, after being assembled, already understood.

So, the rotation continued, and the Five Elements cycle of creation continued.

As Su Ping had thought, in this rotation, the energy power amplification tended to be gentle, and the energy overflow formed a truly rule-breaking Five Elements perpetual motion machine?

The mystery was about to be revealed!

On the Five Elements Origami Map, the crimson hue slowly disappeared,

But this time, on the energy detection device, the energy power amplification numbers that appeared were almost no different from the terrifying number of over seventy thousand.

However, on the Five Elements Origami Map, the yellow-brown Water Type energy of the Origami Man's assembled part slowly overflowed!

The next moment,

This energy directly formed the most basic thing!

Earth Spikes!

Pfft!

A row of spikes that could pierce through the most solid city walls instantly penetrated the entire house, except for the three people, all the remaining empty spaces!

It was obvious that the energy was still being released!

"Roar!"

The big yellow dog felt that it was being challenged.

What the hell is this paper thing!

To be able to emit such destructive power at such a weak level, and it's not even the kind of destructive power!

This was enough for him to take it seriously.

However, the Five Elements Origami Map at this moment obviously didn't care about the big yellow dog's intentions, and its body was constantly rotating.

As expected, it was within Su Ping's expectations. Almost every rotation, the energy quality wouldn't increase, but the large amount of energy overflowed.

The previous five Great Cycles of rotation were for strengthening!

However, after five Great Cycles of rotation, when the Five Elements Origami Map's energy rotation reached its peak, it truly allowed the Five Elements cycle of creation to reach perfection, and the energy transformation reached its peak.

It perfectly matched Su Ping's thoughts, and it was exactly the same as Xue Hong Luan's Super Tier Skill six hundred years ago, without a second difference."

However, just at this moment, along with the completion of the Five Elements Origami Map's energy rotation, after the energy transformation was completed, and the Great Cycle reappeared,

From Earth Spikes, Fireballs, Water Waves, Thorns, and finally to Golden Lances, the Five Elements energy was displayed one after another, and the originally precarious temporary laboratory became a mess again, and the big yellow dog's eyes widened in shock.

On the Five Elements Origami Map, a light that had never been seen before appeared!

Is this the light of skill comprehension?

The Five Elements cycle of creation's Super Tier Skill seemed to shine at this moment.
