Chapter 266: Thousand and One's Eight Gates Formation! The Fifth Gear Sword!

Chapter 266: Thousand and One's Eight Gates Formation! The Fifth Gear Sword!

The little origami man has already developed a profound understanding of the Five Elements Way.

When facing plant-type opponents, the fire element is naturally the most effective.

Therefore, at this moment, the sword that emerged from the little origami man's sword vault was a sword formed entirely of flames.

Without a solid blade, it seemed to be purely a long sword composed of flames, lacking any physical form.

However, the large, pale yellow rose bush suddenly stiffened as it swayed carelessly.

The large flower's stamen stopped moving randomly.

Instead, it instantly locked onto the small figure.

Something's not right!

The intensity of this energy fluctuation exceeds that of a normal Lord Rank companion beast, and it seems to exceed it by quite a bit.

However, this abnormality was not only noticed by them.

Several people behind the little origami man had also noticed it.

But compared to the cautiousness of the large pale yellow rose bush, everyone else relaxed immediately.

Especially Qin Er Long, who had been genuinely nervous.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Good grief, he was really scared. After all, the name 'Dragon Emblem' is truly terrifying.

A skill that can be granted such power must be even stronger than the Sun Core, right?

But now, it seems to be just okay?

Even Qin Er Long felt that this should be the Elemental Core?

As one of the most common super-tier skills, he was somewhat familiar with the effects and power of the Elemental Core.

It is indeed extremely effective, but it doesn't bring about a qualitative change.

Thus, Qin Er Long smiled and said:

"I see, it's the super-tier Elemental Core, right? But that makes sense. The origami man is mainly found in our Dragon Kingdom, and it's one of the kingdom's unique undead companion beasts.

Now, the origami man has finally completed its other evolutions, and with the ability to cultivate the super-tier Elemental Core, it is indeed a significant achievement that enhances our kingdom's power!"

Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong exchanged glances, both seeing the teasing smiles in each other's eyes.

However, neither of them spoke.

As if they hadn't heard Qin Er Long's question, they continued to watch the little origami man, which had leaped down from the leaf platform and was now hovering above the 'garden.'

On the side, Sang Sheng felt something was off.

These three people spent so much effort and time just to create this Elemental Core?

That doesn't seem right.

Moreover, judging from Su Ping's expression, the situation wasn't that simple. Most importantly, when she was on Mystic Snake Island, she had personally seen that strange shield.

To be honest, that shield, which was only a Lord Rank, could shake the Sovereign Rank Black Water Mystic Snake, which truly deserved to be Su Ping's achievement.

At this moment, the origami man seemed to have no abnormalities and was holding the blazing Fire Sword, advancing toward the rose bush.

The flames were overwhelming and intense!

As the origami man flew forward, the flames on the sword seemed to merge with it.

"Uwa! (Thousand and One Fire Sword!)"

Su Ping's eyelid twitched.

However, it must be said that this was the first time the origami man had used this Fire Sword in battle.

At this moment, the origami man, holding the flaming long sword, didn't look like an origami man in the air but rather a phoenix about to take flight.

It was extremely splendid.

Of course.

Compared to the fire phoenix he saw in that valley, there was no comparison.

However, it must be said that the origami man's insight, especially in sword techniques, was truly remarkable. This one sword, which integrated the Fire Phoenix's fiery spread, was quite impressive.

'Whoosh...'

Just one sword strike, and the entire defensive branches of the rose bush were set ablaze.

However, the rose bush was not lenient either.

This ability to control myriad flowers, to manipulate them and even turn them into powerful combat forces, was something even Su Ping had never seen before.

The petals of the rose bush fell, and in the air, they were like the sharpest blades, slashing at the origami man, which had transformed into a fire phoenix.

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh'

Such a rain of petals, even a slight touch, caused a notch to appear in the origami man's Fire Sword!

The gap in realms was not small.

If this continued, Thousand and One was confident it could deal with it, but this time, it wasn't here to rely solely on its own strength to break the deadlock.

It was here to showcase its new equipment and abilities!

Its Five Elements Wind Robe.

Instantly, an invisible wave began to circulate...

"Uwa! (You've forced me to use some real skills. Since that's the case, let's end this quickly!)"

"Uwa! (Fire Power! First Gear, activate!)"

Emperor Peonies: "???"

What the heck is going on?

The Emperor Peonies gave the little origami man a strange 'look' and then continued to control the Lord Rank rose bush and the sharp petals.

Hurry up and deal with this little thing; it still needs to continue singing!

Su Ping's face darkened slightly. Indeed, the thing he was most worried about happened!

Also, what's this 'First Gear'? Is it transforming into a Super Saiyan? Or becoming Rubber Man to Solar King Niko? Or maybe some kind of Eight Gates Technique?

Hmm, the last one seems more plausible?

This question wasn't just his curiosity; the others were clearly curious too.

Suddenly, Qin Er Long was slightly stunned.

Because at this moment, he actually felt that a certain aura was being born and rapidly growing around the little origami man, Thousand and One.

In just a short while, this aura's enhancement surpassed the previous origami man!

With the Five Elements power enhancement, the origami man's entire energy circulation erupted, surrounded by the Five Elements energy.

Five origami swords were now neatly lined up in front of it!

Thousand and One drew the Fire Sword,

Even Su Ping was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.

Previously, when it came to the self-manipulation of the Quintessence Paper Chart, Su Ping had already seen the specific effects. However, now, the Quintessence Paper Chart was operating on the body of the small origami man.

This was the first time Su Ping had seen the small origami man activate it in such a manner.

After all, Thousand and One had never controlled the Five Elements Body ability before.

From start to finish, it was just a short period of time. On the way here, within the Beast Control Realm, it had only adapted for a while.

However, in this short time within the Beast Control Realm, it had already adapted to this level?

This little guy was an absolute genius in this area.

Of course, Su Ping also noticed what the first gear mode entailed: it was the Fire Power running through a full cycle, then locking into this state.

Indeed.

Under Thousand and One’s control.

Even without reaching five full cycles, during the process of the Five Elements generating each other, after just a one-fold increase in power, it still chose not to continue enhancing the essence of the energy but instead opted to increase the quantity.

Thus, as it is now, as long as desired, it could be divided into five levels, each with its own tier for battle!

In just a few blinks, the Five Elements energy on the body of the small origami man completed a full cycle.

A layer of colorful ribbons seemed to appear on Thousand and One’s body.

At this moment, it was no longer a strange origami man draped in a colorful windcoat, but rather a divine being draped in a feathered robe.

Of course, if this divine being in the colorful feathered robe had a less abstract face, it would be even more fitting!

Everyone was amazed by the small origami man’s transformation-like form, but at this moment, the Emperor Peonies, the Thousand Petal Queen, at the center of the garden, slightly ‘frowned.’

She also sensed the rise in the strange origami man’s aura.

This rise was unexpected. The weak little creature that could have been easily dealt with using the weakest strength seemed to have become somewhat extraordinary at this moment?

Of course, even if its power had only doubled, it would just take a bit more effort. For the Thousand Petal Queen, among the countless flowers in this garden, this Golden Blade Rose was the weakest.

Even if this Golden Blade Rose couldn’t be handled, there were others!

It seemed to confirm that the Emperor Peonies, the Thousand Petal Queen, had made the right decision.

Because in the next moment,

‘Whoosh!’

The sword whistled, like a howling wind.

This sword was even faster and more fierce than the previous Phoenix Fire Sword.

A single sword stroke cleared the sky.

The massive Golden Blade Rose was instantly split in two by this flame-enshrouded sword.

The entangled battle, where neither side could gain the upper hand, was directly ended with the small origami man entering the ‘first gear’ state.

“Hiss!”

At this moment, even Qin Xiaoxue’s eyes widened.

This was the power of a High Lord Rank Companion Beast. Most importantly, it was controlled by the Thousand Petal Queen.

Although it was not particularly difficult for her, the three Companion Beasts she possessed were of a different caliber compared to this one of Su Ping’s.

However, it didn’t end there!

Seemingly sensing the power of this small origami man that had entered a berserk mode, the moment the Golden Blade Rose fell, a Narcissus flower appeared.

Clearly, the Emperor Peonies had noticed.

The small origami man’s Fire Power was strong, so she sent a plant body with Water Power to counter it.

The Thousand Petal Queen was not particularly concerned. As an Emperor Rank Companion Beast, she had a deep understanding of other Companion Beasts.

She could tell that this small origami man’s realm had seen a sudden surge in energy, indicating that it must have used some ‘forbidden’ skill to rapidly increase its strength.

This would indeed allow its strength to increase rapidly in a short time, but the duration of the boost would not last long.

However, since the master had said to play with it, the Emperor Peonies casually dispatched a higher-level plant body, a Monarch First Rank, to deal with it.

Just drag out the time and let them leave the garden.

Sure enough, the moment the Frost Mist Narcissus appeared,

The surging flame aura on Thousand and One’s body dissipated.

The ‘Thousand and One Fire Sword’ that continued to strike, in the cold mist of the massive Narcissus, turned from a raging phoenix fire into a scattering of sparks before it could even reach its target.

“Ugh! (Damn, I’m being suppressed!)”

The small origami man felt its suddenly damp body and the increasingly heavy weight in the cold, damp mist. The abstract poker face revealed no emotion.

However, compared to the Golden Blade Rose, the Frost Mist Narcissus posed a greater threat.

So, without hesitation:

“Ugh! (Earth Power! Second gear mode! Activate!)”

Sure enough, under everyone’s gaze,

The previously surging Fire Sword turned into a brownish-yellow sword.

However, compared to the Fire Sword, this strange Earth Sword lacked the exquisite sword techniques. Clearly, although the small origami man’s talent was extraordinary, it had not practiced Earth Sword techniques and thus had not mastered the corresponding techniques.

So it could only strike with relatively simple, straightforward sword swings.

And this was exactly what the Emperor Peonies wanted.

Although she didn’t understand why this strange origami man could continue to burst with new power, doubling its strength on top of the previous burst.

But still, such abilities could not last too long.

So, just wear it down.

Then, after several minutes, the Emperor Peonies did not rush, controlling the Frost Mist Narcissus without haste.

But Thousand and One, the small origami man, grew anxious.

This damp thing was mainly for controlling and restraining other Companion Beasts, which was too troublesome.

So, this little guy finally couldn’t hold back:

“Ugh! (Fire Power, Earth Power, third gear mode! Activate!)”

Instantly, tangible flames and the most resilient Earth Sword formed a sturdy shield and a sharp spear.

After several minutes of maintaining the battle, the situation remained unchanged, and the enemy was once again instantly defeated!

"Can it still improve?"

Not only did Emperor Peony, but even Qin Er Long's eyelids twitched, surprised and with a not-so-good premonition.

As the Empress of Flowers, Emperor Peony was visibly struggling.

Can it still improve? Is there a way to continuously unlock potential and overdraw power in the human Beastmaster world?

Does this make sense?

Then, this Emperor-ranked beast also lost its temper.

This time, a Monarch-ranked plant body arrived.

The result...

"Wow (Fourth Gear! Engage!)"

"Swoosh..."

This time, it was even faster than before.

Damn, at this moment, Qin Er Long finally tasted the feeling of a boomerang.

What the hell is this thing?

How can it shift gears like this?

However, Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked towards the little paper man.

The little paper man seemed to be in high spirits, but from the soul contract, he already felt that the little paper man was struggling!

Indeed, such strength, for Qian Yi, had almost reached its limit.

Indeed, according to the Quintessence Paper Chart, there was still the fifth gear, the final Sun God Ni... No, it was the mode of the Quintessence Sword King.

But if it was the Quintessence Paper Chart itself, such energy construction, after multiple breedings, could indeed be controlled and brought out.

However, the little paper man's body was not the Quintessence Paper Chart itself; its essence was still controlled through its self-awakened racial skill 'Paper Body Manipulation.'

Therefore, reaching such a spread of Quintessence power had already reached the peak of Monarch-ranked energy. If it continued to improve, it would obviously be too difficult for the little paper man to control! At the highest fifth gear, that would not only be Emperor-ranked, but even among Emperor-ranked, it would possess an unparalleled offensive power.

But it had to be said that the little paper man's personality was like this.

At any time, it was always unwilling to admit defeat.

With the Quintessence Paper Chart's fourth rotation and the addition of the Supreme Elemental Body, its power had already reached the peak of the Monarch Rank.

Such formidable power also made this little guy look towards the central Emperor Peony:

"Wow! (A powerful opponent, dare to face Qian Yi in a head-on battle?)"

On Emperor Peony, it seemed to finally acknowledge Qian Yi at this moment.

After all, who knows if this little thing could continue shifting gears? If it did it again, the original body would have to step in.

Therefore, on Emperor Peony, a virtual elemental figure slowly appeared.

It was as if countless flowers were pieced together.

Obviously, this was the true Empress of Flowers!

The little paper man's body was filled with surging, overwhelming battle intent.

Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't stop it; the little paper man wasn't stupid, and this wasn't a life-or-death battle. He also wanted to see what progress this little guy had made during this time.

After all, when he was researching the breeding of the origami man, Qian Yi wasn't idle either.

And during this time, the little guy hadn't made any noise, indicating that Little Qian Yi might have been researching something he didn't know about.

However, the gap between the opponents was too great.

And it had to be said that it was possible.

The Quintessence Paper Chart could unleash energy threatening the Emperor Rank, but that was just the unleashed energy.

If it were a real battle, Da Huang could tear it apart with a blink of an eye.

But Little Qian Yi, this was a real battle!

It wasn't a mechanical, rigid test of standing still to gauge the power of skills.

Therefore, Su Ping didn't mind.

But at this moment, Qian Yi showed respect for his opponent: he would cooperate in exchange for the opponent's cooperation.

After the true Empress of Flowers appeared, Qian Yi didn't waste words and directly raised his hand!

"Wow! (Sword Power! Fifth Gear!)"

Su Ping frowned.

Really going for the fifth gear?

Can this little guy control the unleashed power at the fifth gear?

It should be known that the Quintessence Paper Chart can control because it directly unleashes the power after the rotation is complete.

This is like the difference between a submachine gun and a bow and arrow.

A child can use a submachine gun, but not everyone can draw that large bow.

Of course, this analogy isn't particularly appropriate. If used similarly, this so-called 'bow' is more flexible and has a higher limit.

But the problem is, can this guy bring it out? The next moment, everyone would know.

Everyone's gaze firmly fixed on that strange little paper man.

In everyone's gaze, including the Empress of Flowers, they watched with some tension.

The little paper man suddenly extended his hand, and what no one expected was that there was no sword in his hand.

Even at this moment, the little paper man's body, that windbreaker like a feather garment, slowly connected to the little paper man's back, becoming one with it.

Then, in Su Ping's completely unexpected gaze.

This paper-made garment, originally seen by Su Ping as unable to be pieced together into a paper sword, actually after being removed, with the little paper man's back, that huge sword vault, connected as one!

Then, in the most ordinary form of the Quintessence Paper Chart, connected with the sword vault!

And then, the little paper man carried the sword vault on his shoulder.

At this moment, on the little paper man's face, from the previous 5, at some unknown time, quietly transformed into a blank, with only a single one in the center!

A blank spade, this was the first time Su Ping saw such a poker face.

At the same time, the sword vault's pitch-black opening aimed at that Emperor Peony, as well as the Empress of Flowers on Emperor Peony.

"Wow... (Here it comes...)"
