Chapter 356: Qian Yi's Super Rank Skill: Sword Dao Incarnation!
"Hey, Su Ping? Why are you calling me today?"
On the phone, Zhu Hong's voice sounded cheerful.
"Master Zhu, those Heart Essence Jade you gave me last time, were they expired? Why isn't my Companion Beast responding to them at all?"
Su Ping couldn't help but complain.
It was understandable for him to complain. He had been staring at the Heart Essence Jade for an entire night and day.
Without even eating a bite, the sky turned dark again, and he didn't even bother to check on the little flame consuming the Flame Lord's Fire Spirit. Initially, Qian Yi was full of energy.
After waiting for over twenty hours, he gradually became quieter, and the skill fusion still hadn't completed.
So, Su Ping finally lost his patience and contacted the supplier of the Heart Essence Jade, Master Zhu Hong.
"Hmm? You have another Super Rank Skill fusion?"
Clearly, Master Zhu Hong didn't pay attention to Su Ping's complaint but instead keenly sensed the hidden meaning in Su Ping's words.
"It's one of my Companion Beasts. I'm not sure how it suddenly fused, and I was just thinking about those things you gave me last time, but it seems useless when I feed them to it."
"How did you listen to me, you little rascal? Heart Essence Jade should be used before the official fusion of Super Rank Skills to accelerate the Companion Beast's skill cultivation speed and the fusion speed of Super Rank Skills! You've already started the fusion and then remembered to come to me?"
Master Zhu Hong spoke with a hint of helplessness.
It was understandable for Su Ping to forget. The first time they used Heart Essence Jade was when the Paper Man completed the Heaven and Man as One Body. At that time, Master Zhu Hong, Liu Fuhai, and Su Ping had no time to pay attention to how Heart Essence Jade should be used.
This little rascal forgetting was a normal situation.
"Huh? Is that how it is?"
Su Ping scratched his head, and indeed, he had forgotten if that was the case.
"Of course. Super Rank Skill fusion is a process of enlightenment. The Heart Essence Jade is produced in my Beast Taming Space. How could I not know? Super Rank Skill fusion usually takes three to seven days.
Although Heart Essence Jade is most effective before the fusion, it's not entirely useless after the fusion. If you started last night, it's definitely not like the Paper Man's case, where the fusion was completed in less than a few hours. But it will still be much faster, and by now, it should be almost done."
Hearing Master Zhu Hong's explanation, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't mind waiting a bit longer. After all, Qian Yi was his own Companion Beast, and it was different.
Thinking of this, Su Ping also asked about Qian Yi's situation:
"Master Zhu, do you have any understanding of the Sword Intent Super Rank Skill?"
"Sword Intent? It's a Holy Spirit Level resource, the Sword Intent Essence you mentioned."
Master Zhu Hong replied promptly.
"Indeed, you know about it too?"
"Of course, I know. After all, it's a rare opportunity to use a resource to awaken a Super Rank Skill. Although it's considered the weakest among Super Rank Skills, a Super Rank is still a Super Rank!
However, the production of the Sword Intent Essence resource is extremely rare and precious. Simultaneously, the types of Companion Beasts that can use it are limited, mostly reserved for the evolved forms of Armament Companion Beasts. I don't have much knowledge about it.
So, is your Paper Man's skill fusion related to Sword Intent? If you don't mind, you can tell me more about it."
Master Zhu Hong showed great interest in Qian Yi's situation.
Su Ping had nothing to hide from Master Zhu Hong, who had helped him a great deal. He proceeded to share the events of the previous night, omitting some minor details.
"Hmm? It just erupted suddenly? And then it suddenly fused?"
Listening to Su Ping's account, Master Zhu Hong was speechless: "There was no sign at all?"
"None."
"In that case, I don't know either. After all, your Paper Man is a special mutated Companion Beast. Perhaps this mutation of several skills is also related to that unique Sword Spirit.
The formation of your Paper Man is indeed interesting. This Sword Spirit of Yu Liangqing is also intriguing. How about this, when you arrive in the Imperial Capital, I can introduce you to the Artificer Association's people. I estimate they will be very interested in this Sword Spirit."
The Artificer Association is a group of Armament Companion Beast trainers. Although it's considered an official organization, it doesn't hold as much influence as the Beast Trainer and Breeder Associations. Despite being an official organization, the Artificer Association has less authority than the Mechanic Association due to the limited circulation of Armament Companion Beasts in the Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, with Zhu Hong's good intentions, Su Ping naturally agreed with delight.
"When the time comes for the professional assessment, I'll be heading to the Imperial Capital. You can wait for me then."
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can. Haha, just right, I recently participated in an interesting research project in Dragon City. You can come and take a look later; who knows, you might have some unexpected gains!"
Zhu Hong spoke mysteriously.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later then."
As the call ended, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After understanding the situation, Su Ping's heart relaxed, and he finally had the leisure and focus to turn his attention to other matters.
For instance, after consuming the little flame that the Mermaid Princess had sent, the little flame would awaken a portion of the Phoenix Lord's memories each time it consumed its peers.
These memories would not affect the little flame's intelligence or self-awareness, but they contained many secrets and treasures.
Su Ping had already tasted the benefits from the True Flame Soup's recipe. As one of the five elements with the widest audience and most beloved by Beast Tamers, Su Ping's involvement in the fire attribute was not extensive.
Being able to make up for this deficiency through the little flame was an excellent opportunity for Su Ping.
"Little guy, how was the harvest from this consumption?"
"Ssssss!"
The little flame was summoned from the Beast Taming Space, emitting a delighted sound.
After last night's events, Su Ping could feel that this little thing's trust in him had taken a qualitative leap.
However, Su Ping didn't continue to bring up the matter of whether or not to make the little flame his Companion Beast.
Doing so would make it seem like he had ulterior motives last night.
On the contrary, Su Ping became more open-minded.
The little flame's personality was indeed high, but as mentioned earlier, the conflict between the Water Lord and the Phoenix Lord in the water-fire dispute was too intense.
It was indeed dangerous for an ordinary Beast Tamer to get involved early on; he would consider the situation later.
Therefore, at this moment, he faced the little flame without the previous calculations and schemes, and instead became more relaxed.
The little flame didn't seem to notice anything.
After the consumption, this little thing's realm had already broken through the Elite Rank, and at the same time, it conveyed the cultivation method it had gained from the consumed Phoenix Lord's memory to Su Ping through spiritual communication.
However, this time, the inherited memory was not a magic recipe but a skill.
Compared to the stunning True Flame Soup from the previous time, this skill gained from the experience inheritance was not as rare and unique.
Su Ping had seen this skill many times in the background of the Cultivator Association.
It could be said that this skill was quite common.
Flame Technique, one of the fire attribute skills, was a buff skill for fire attribute Companion Beasts. Although it wasn't particularly popular, it was by no means a rare skill.
However, Su Ping had no complaints about suddenly gaining a cultivation method for free.
Satisfied, Su Ping condensed a Flame Fruit and gave it to the little flame with a smile.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar~~
However, what Su Ping didn't expect was that this time, the little flame shook its head:
"Ssssss (No need... Partner, family... should be...)"
Su Ping was slightly startled, not realizing that this little guy had such awareness now? It seemed that yesterday's experience wasn't without its uses.
Su Ping didn't insist further, as the little flame had a stubborn personality, and once it made up its mind, it wouldn't easily change its mind.
Moreover, this wasn't a big deal. A Flame Fruit was just a condensation of spiritual power for Su Ping.
Just as Su Ping wanted to continue chatting with the little guy, a crisp sound of a sword ringing suddenly echoed from his laboratory.
"Clang!"
The sound was sharp and brief, but it was so crisp, like an infinitely sharp treasure sword unsheathing!
Su Ping's gaze turned sharply, and a dazzling light appeared on Qian Yi's body.
The light was sharp and piercing, forcing one to avert their gaze, devoid of any warmth. It was like a sword reflecting the cold autumn water, ready to strike down any enemy that stood in its way.
"Woof!"
A familiar cry rang out once more, echoing in Su Ping's ears.
Su Ping's tensed heart finally relaxed as he turned to look at Qian Yi, who seemed to have undergone no visible changes.
Indeed, Qian Yi's appearance hadn't altered; it wasn't an evolution, nor was it like Lao Sha's Sun Heart, a Super Rank Skill that could alter one's form under certain conditions.
At this moment, Qian Yi seemed only slightly taller and more slender than before. Although still resembling a child compared to an adult human, he no longer had the stature of a dwarf.
Perhaps it was this change that imbued him with a newfound cold and sharp quality that he lacked before.
It was a reassuring quality!
Despite this, as Su Ping met his gaze, Qian Yi's transformed expression and the echoing 'Woof' shattered any trace of coldness.
Qian Yi: o(｀ー)+╋══
It was evident from Qian Yi's expression that this advancement was indeed significant.
Su Ping paid no further attention to Xiao Huo Yan.
Using his True Eye, he examined Qian Yi once more:
【Attributes: Sword, Necromantic】
【Current Level: High Commander Seventh Rank】
【Race Potential: Sovereign Fifth Rank】
【Skills: Super Sword Dao Incarnation (Proficient), Paper Body Fold (Mastered), Golden Spear Technique (Perfected), Accelerated Casting (Mastered), Mutation: Paper Body Control (Perfected), Paper Flying Immortal (Mastered), Sword Technique Strategy...】
Apart from the heightened self-realm and the several levels of increased racial potential, the most eye-catching change was the Paper Flying Immortal skill, which had finally reached the Mastered level.
Undoubtedly, the most attractive skill for Su Ping was the completely new Super Rank Skill: Sword Dao Incarnation! This skill, with its name, clearly indicated its pure sword-based nature.
Su Ping's heart raced as he eagerly examined the skill's capabilities and effects:
【Super Sword Dao Incarnation (Proficient): A pure manifestation of the Sword Dao, merging the Sword Spirit, purifying the Sword Heart, enlightening the Sword Intent, and condensing the Sword Body. It possesses unimaginable potential and lays the foundation for the Sword Dao.
Sword Spirit: Passive, in a solidified soul state, the soul cannot be destroyed through the death of the Paper Body, significantly enhancing soul strength and allowing for the gradual regeneration of the body over time.
Sword Heart: Passive, all sword techniques' power and effects are amplified! Capable of simultaneously controlling countless sword techniques and weapons. Skill learning speed is increased.
Sword Body: Passive, based on personal ability, corresponding sword techniques can be comprehended, allowing for the manipulation of energy to attach to the body and sword, thereby increasing the power and speed of sword strikes. All comprehended sword techniques are one level higher than the Sword Dao Incarnation level, but cannot break through to the Divine Transformation level!
Sword Intent: Passive, able to perceive the opponent's specific weaknesses, energy vulnerabilities, and significantly enhance combat perception!
Heaven and Man as One: Can actively enter the Sword Dao Incarnation state, doubling the effects of Sword Spirit, Sword Heart, Sword Body, and Sword Intent. Immune to ordinary skills of the same level that affect the mind.
This skill...
Su Ping blinked.
In fact, the first few skills were not much different from before Qian Yi's transformation.
At most, they were further enhanced, and the Sword Intent and Sword Spirit were revealed,
but the last part of the Sword Dao Incarnation, which completely merged them and allowed entry into the Heaven and Man as One state, doubled the effects of all four, marking a true qualitative change!
However... Heaven and Man as One?
Su Ping couldn't help but think about this nonsensical term as he stood by. Even Xiao Huo Yan couldn't help but turn his attention to the now much stronger and peculiar origami man.
At this moment, Xiao Huo Yan began to ponder, using the memories of the Flame Lord he had just absorbed.
If he continued to grow step by step like this, would he be able to match such a powerful Companion Beast in the future, even if they were of the same rank?
