Chapter 356: Qian Yi's True Body Super Rank: Sword Dao Incarnation!
Chapter 356: Qian Yi's True Body Super Rank: Sword Dao Incarnation!
"Hey, Su Ping? Why are you free to call me today?"
On the phone, Zhu Hong's voice came through with a smile.
"Master Zhu, the Heart Essence Jade you gave me last time, is it expired? Why isn't my companion beast responding to it at all?"
Su Ping couldn't help but complain.
It was understandable for him to complain; he had been staring with wide eyes, waiting for a whole night and day.
Not even having a bite to eat, and as darkness fell,
he didn't even bother to check on the little flame as it continued to devour the Flame Sovereign's divided Fire Spirit. Qian Yi was initially lively and energetic.
However, after waiting for more than twenty hours, he gradually calmed down, and the skill fusion still hadn't completed.
So, Su Ping finally couldn't hold back and contacted the supplier of the Heart Essence Jade, Master Zhu Hong.
"Hmm? You have a Super Rank skill fusion?"
Clearly, Zhu Hong didn't pay attention to Su Ping's complaint but keenly sensed the hidden meaning in his words.
"It's one of my companion beasts, and I don't know the specifics, but it suddenly fused. I was thinking about the things you gave me last time, but it seems useless to feed it to it?"
"How did you listen to me last time? The Heart Essence Jade is meant to accelerate the companion beast's skill cultivation speed and Super Rank skill fusion speed before the official fusion! You only thought of using it after the fusion began, and now you're coming to me?"
Zhu Hong spoke with a hint of helplessness.
However, he could understand that the first time the Heart Essence Jade was used was when the Origami Beast completed the Heaven-Cycle Five Elements Body. At that time, Zhu Hong, Liu Fuhai, and Su Ping had no time to pay attention to the Heart Essence Jade.
It was normal for this stinker to have forgotten.
"Huh? Is that how it is?"
Su Ping scratched his head, indeed forgetting if that was the case.
"Of course, Super Rank fusion is a process of enlightenment. The Heart Essence Jade is a resource produced in my Beastmaster Space, and I should know about it. Super Rank skill fusion usually takes three to seven days.
Although the Heart Essence Jade is most effective before fusion, it's not entirely useless after fusion. If you started last night, it definitely won't be like the Origami Beast's fusion, which completed in just a few hours. Still, it will speed up the process significantly. It's probably almost done by now."
Hearing Master Zhu Hong's words, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid of waiting a little longer; he was concerned about any symptoms or issues that Qian Yi might experience.
After all, it was his contract companion beast, and that made a difference.
With this in mind, Su Ping also asked about Qian Yi's Super Rank skill:
"Master Zhu, do you have any understanding of the Super Rank skill ] or [ mutated ] nipples.
- [ Heart Essence Jade ] or [ Super Rank skill fusion ] resources, such as [ Heaven and Man As One ] or [ Super Rank Sword Dao Incarnation ].
- [ Super Rank skill fusion ] time, such as [ three to seven days ] or [ a few hours ].
- [ Sword Dao Incarnation ] or [ Super Rank skill ].
"Sword Intent? Is it the Holy Spirit Level resource, the Sword Intent Origin?"
Zhu Hong quickly replied.
"Exactly, and you know about it?"
"Of course, it's a rare resource that can awaken a Super Rank skill, although it's considered the weakest among Super Rank skills. But Super Rank is still Super Rank!
However, the production of the Sword Intent Origin resource is extremely rare and precious, and only a few companion beast species can use it. Most of them are Tool Class Sword Artifact Beasts with the Decaying Sword.
So, is your Origami Beast's skill fusion related to Sword Intent? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it."
Zhu Hong was clearly very interested in Qian Yi's situation.
Facing this master who had helped him a lot, Su Ping had nothing to hide. After omitting some details, he recounted what happened the previous night.
"Hmm? It suddenly erupted? And then suddenly fused?"
Listening to Su Ping's words, Master Zhu Hong was also speechless: "There was no sign at all?"
"None."
"In that case, I don't know. After all, your companion beast is a special mutated one, and perhaps this mutation of several skills is also related to that unique Sword Soul. However, the formation of your Origami Beast is indeed interesting.
This Sword Soul of Yu Liangqing is also intriguing. How about this: when you come to the Imperial Capital, I can introduce you to some people from the Artificer Association. They will likely be very interested in this Sword Soul."
The Artificer Association is an organization of Tool Class Beastmasters, named as an association, but unlike the Beastmaster and Breeder Associations, it doesn't hold much influence. Although it's an official organization, due to the limited circulation of Tool Class companion beasts in the Dragon Nation, it even has less authority than the Mechanist Association.
Of course, with Zhu Hong's good intentions, Su Ping naturally agreed.
"When the time comes for the professional assessment, I'll be heading to the Imperial Capital. You can just wait for me then."
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as possible! Haha, coincidentally, I recently participated in a very interesting research project in Dragon City. You can come and take a look then. Who knows, you might also gain some unexpected benefits."
Zhu Hong spoke in a mysterious tone.
"Okay, we'll talk about it then."
After hanging up the call, Su Ping finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that he understood the situation, Su Ping's heart relaxed, and he finally had the leisure and attention to focus on other matters.
For instance, after consuming the Flame Sovereign Fire Spirit that Jiao Ji had sent over, the Little Flame Chick...
Every time the Little Flame Chick devoured its kin, it would awaken a portion of the Flame Sovereign's memories.
These memories didn't affect the Little Flame Chick's spirit intelligence or self-awareness, but they contained many secrets and treasures.
After the last True Flame Soup formula, Su Ping had already tasted the benefits. As one of the most popular attributes among the Five Elements and the most beloved by Beastmasters, Su Ping hadn't delved much into the Fire Element.
Being able to make up for his lack of knowledge in this area through the Little Flame Chick was an excellent opportunity for Su Ping.
"Little guy, how was the harvest from this devouring?"
"Hissssss!"
The Little Flame Chick, summoned from the Beastmaster Space, let out a delighted sound.
After last night's events, Su Ping could feel that this little creature's trust in him had taken a qualitative leap.
However, Su Ping didn't continue to bring up the matter of whether or not it should be his Companion Beast.
Doing so would make it seem like he had ulterior motives for last night's events.
On the contrary, Su Ping felt more open-minded.
The Little Flame Chick's personality was indeed high-minded, but as mentioned earlier, the dispute between Water and Fire was too intense.
It was indeed dangerous for an ordinary Beastmaster to get involved early on, so he decided to wait and see how things progressed.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the Little Flame Chick, he no longer had the same calculations and schemes as before, and instead, he became much more open-minded.
The Little Flame Chick didn't seem to notice anything.
After devouring, this little creature's realm had surprisingly already broken through the Elite Rank. At the same time, it also showed Su Ping the results of the memory it had obtained from this devouring!
"Hissssss (Su Ping... the latest memory I saw...)"
As expected, without Su Ping even having to ask, this little guy, like a gourd pouring into a calabash, conveyed the inheritance of the Flame Sovereign's memories about cultivation through spiritual communication.
However, this time, the inherited memory was not as rare and exceptional as the previous True Flame Soup.
Because Su Ping had seen this skill many times in the rear database of the Cultivator Association.
It could be said that this skill was quite common.
Ignition Technique, one of the fundamental Fire Element skills, was an enhancement skill for Fire Element Companion Beasts. Although not particularly popular, it was by no means a rare skill.
Nevertheless, Su Ping had no complaints about acquiring a skill out of the blue.
Satisfied, he nodded and condensed a Flame Fruit, which he handed to the Little Flame Chick with a smile.
However, to Su Ping's surprise, the Little Flame Chick refused:
"Hissssss (No need... partner, family... it's what I should do...)"
Su Ping was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this little guy would have such realization now? It seemed that yesterday's experience wasn't without its uses?
Su Ping didn't insist further. This Little Flame Chick had a stubborn personality; once it made up its mind, it wouldn't change its mind easily.
Moreover, this wasn't a big deal. For Su Ping, creating a Flame Fruit was just a matter of focusing his mental power.
Just as Su Ping wanted to continue chatting with the Little Flame Chick, suddenly, a crisp sound of a sword ringing out echoed once again from his laboratory.
"Clang!"
The sound was brief but sharp, and it was so crisp, like the unsheathing of an infinitely sharp treasure sword!
Su Ping's gaze turned sharply towards Qian Yi, whose body was now glowing with a brilliant light.
The dazzling light held no hint of warmth, instead, it exuded a sharp aura that compelled one to avert their gaze, as if gazing into the cold gleam of a sword reflecting autumn's chill.
It was like a sword, poised to slash through any obstacle in its path.
"Wow!"
A familiar cry resounded in Su Ping's ears once more.
Su Ping's tense heart finally relaxed, and he turned to look at Qian Yi, who seemed unchanged from before.
Indeed, Qian Yi's appearance hadn't altered at all.
After all, it wasn't an evolution, and it didn't appear to be a Super Rank Skill like Lao Sha's Sun Heart, which could alter one's form under certain conditions.
At this moment, Qian Yi seemed only slightly taller and more slender than before, and while still shorter than an adult human, he no longer resembled a dwarf.
Perhaps it was due to this change that a chilling aura now emanated from the little creature, an aura that instilled a sense of reassurance.
However, as Su Ping met its gaze, the creature's transformed 2D expression and its repeated 'Wow' undermined this newfound aura of coldness.
Qian Yi: o(｀ー)+╋══
Evidently, the little guy's expression revealed that this advancement was indeed significant.
Su Ping didn't bother with Xiao Huo Mian any further.
With his True Eye of Insight, he examined Qian Yi once more:
【Paper Immortal Swordsman - Contracted, Age: 15 years】
【Attributes: Sword, Undead】
【Current Level: Overlord Seventh Rank】
【Race Potential: Monarch】
【Skills: Paper Body Folding (Mastery), Spear Technique (Perfect), Spell Acceleration (Mastery), Mutated Paper Body Control (Perfect), Paper Flying Immortal (Mastery), Sword Technique Strategy...】
Apart from the increased height and the elevated race potential by several levels, the most notable improvement was the Paper Flying Immortal skill, which had finally reached the Mastery level.
The most captivating aspect for Su Ping was the new Super Rank Skill, Sword Dao Incarnation, which seamlessly integrated the previously separate concepts of Sword Soul, Sword Body, Sword Heart, and Sword Intent.
Sword Dao was an abstract concept, but the skill's name clearly indicated its pure sword-based nature.
Su Ping's heart raced as he eagerly scrutinized the skill's capabilities and effects:
【Super Sword Dao Incarnation (Mastery): By merging one's pure intentions with the Sword Soul, purifying the Sword Heart, comprehending the Sword Intent, and condensing the Sword Body, one becomes the embodiment of the Sword Dao. Possesses unimaginable potential and a solid foundation in the Sword Dao!
Sword Soul: Passive. In a condensed soul state, cannot be killed through the destruction of the paper body, resulting in soul strength significantly increased and the ability to re-form the body over time.
Sword Heart: Passive. All sword techniques' power and effects are enhanced! Can simultaneously control numerous sword techniques and sword artifacts. Skill learning speed is increased.
Sword Body: Passive. Based on one's abilities, can comprehend corresponding sword techniques, allowing for enhanced energy manipulation on the body and sword, resulting in increased sword strike power and speed. All comprehended sword techniques' levels are one above the Sword Dao Incarnation level, but cannot break through to the Divine Transcendence level!
Sword Intent: Passive. Can perceive the opponent's specific weaknesses, energy vulnerabilities, and heightened combat awareness!
Heaven and Man As One: Can actively enter the Sword Dao Incarnation state, doubling the effects of Sword Soul, Sword Heart, Sword Body, and Sword Intent. Immune to ordinary mental skills of the same level.】
This skill...
Su Ping blinked.
In truth, the initial skills didn't differ much from those of Qian Yi's previous fusion.
At most, they had improved, and the effects of Sword Intent and Sword Soul were now apparent.
However, the final part of the Sword Dao Incarnation skill, which integrated all aspects into one and allowed entry into the Heaven and Man As One state, was a true qualitative change!
But... Heaven and Man As One?
Shouldn't it be Heaven and Paper As One?
As Su Ping pondered this seemingly nonsensical thought, Xiao Huo Mian, having just absorbed and digested the Flame Sovereign's memories, began to contemplate.
If he followed the conventional path of growth, would he be as formidable as this bizarre origami beast when they reached the same level?
