Chapter 432: Ye Zhou's Arrival! Jiang Xuanji's Legacy!
Chapter 432: Ye Zhou's Arrival! Jiang Xuanji's Legacy!
At Linzhou Airport, Su Ping yawned as he spotted a familiar figure emerging from the exit. He quickly recognized the person amidst the crowd.
Feeling slightly weary, Su Ping couldn't help but notice the distinctive silver-framed sunglasses on the young figure.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows slightly.
He then glanced at the person's attire, especially the unique silver shirt and shorts.
The shirt, crafted from the scales of a Silver Snow Python, not only looked exquisite and eye-catching but also maintained a pristine appearance while keeping the wearer cool during the scorching summer.
This was a true luxury garment.
It wasn't just a brand name luxury item; it was a masterpiece crafted with the finest materials and craftsmanship, making it a top-tier luxury item.
This single shirt alone was worth several million.
After all, it was genuinely woven from the scales of a Sovereign-ranked Companion Beast.
This was also the reason why many people at the exit stared curiously at the figure.
And it was clear that the person wearing this eye-catching shirt was none other than Ye Zhou, who seemed to be searching for Su Ping in the hall.
Ye Zhou quickly spotted Su Ping and approached him.
Ye Zhou, uncharacteristically, wanted to give Su Ping a hug, but Su Ping pushed him away, looking at him suspiciously.
"I didn't realize you were such a flashy and flamboyant person before. What's with this outfit?"
Su Ping was indignant. What was this Ye Zhou's background and status? Even if he was a graduate of the Basic Academy, why was he wearing such a flashy shirt now?
Ye Zhou sighed, explaining, "After graduating from the Basic Academy, I was fortunate enough to receive Jiang Xuanji's legacy. I then successfully enrolled in the Magic Capital Academy, where I've been for almost four years. All the scholarship money I earned was donated to the orphanage where I grew up. Now that I've graduated, I realize that money isn't as hard to earn as I thought!"
Su Ping was taken aback by Ye Zhou's sentiment.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Zhou explained, "A company in the Imperial Capital filmed an advertisement in my name, and they paid me two million directly. I intended to donate all of it to the orphanage, but I scared Old Director Wang into illness. So, I returned the money."
Old Director Wang told me not to send any more money and to live for myself. I don't know how to spend this money, so I bought some things I couldn't afford before..."
As he spoke, Ye Zhou proudly spun around, showing off his attire.
"How's this outfit? Not bad, right?"
Su Ping couldn't help but laugh at his senior's confident demeanor, "Alright, go and impress the ladies with your peacocking. Hurry home, and I'll rest for a bit more."
Ye Zhou looked at Su Ping suspiciously.
"You won't slack off after the profession assessment, will you? Su Ping, we've only just begun our journey as Beastmasters. Overlord Rank is just..."
Su Ping waved his hand dismissively.
"Slack off? Don't talk nonsense! Let's go."
Ye Zhou glared at him.
"Then what are you doing here? With your cultivation level, you shouldn't need rest for a day or two, right? Unless..."
Ye Zhou patted Su Ping on the shoulder.
"I know you and Miss Qin have a special connection, but you should still exercise some restraint..."
Su Ping glared at him.
"Restraint? I have important matters to attend to. Let's go; I don't want to argue with you..."
They got into the car, and after greeting Long Er, who nodded in response, the vehicle started moving towards the Beastmaster Realm.
Su Ping didn't deceive Ye Zhou about this.
The previous night, he had indeed been busy for the entire night.
Apart from organizing and arranging the resources for immediate use, he hadn't engaged in research or other tasks.
Instead, he focused on the mutated White Phosphorus Imp, whose cause of mutation was analyzed by the Bestiary, and the Core System's ability to consume. After this epiphany, the evolution process became extremely clear.
With the connection and consumption by the Core System, the White Phosphorus Imp reached the Elite Peak, and the evolution glow on its body became quite frequent.
In this state, a simple opportunity was all that was needed to complete its evolution.
For instance, using powerful psychic-type resources should be able to complete the basic evolution.
(Chapter End)
In fact, Su Ping also thought so.
Fei Fei's situation was indeed too special.
Even the Mechanical Association didn't have such examples, and he could only keep exploring, and it wasn't like Xiao Qing, who was born with a 'Golden Key'.
Therefore, he first conducted a basic evolution to test the waters, which wasn't a big deal.
However, Fei Fei obviously didn't agree.
The little guy looked a bit pitiful.
But it was also because he had witnessed Su Ping's evolution and cultivation of Qian Yi and Xiao Qing, which indeed consumed a lot of energy and resources.
When it came to Fei Fei, it seemed that there was indeed some favoritism.
It's not right to deny him just because Fei Fei isn't good at combat.
So, in the latter half of that night, Su Ping started to customize a cultivation method for Fei Fei, a last-ditch effort before the upcoming evolution.
First, dream cultivation was unlikely to be realized in a short time.
Su Ping wouldn't focus all his energy on this either.
Hence, this high-level skill cultivation required the utilization of the already analyzed Fantasy Manifestation.
Instead of using other high-level psychic resources for forced advanced energy evolution stimulation, he chose another direction.
In the special magnetic field of the Nexus of All Souls, there was a vein of Primagnetic Quake Gold, formed by the ore of this metal.
Primagnetic Quake Gold, previously at the Imperial Capital Mechanical Association, was a vein that could potentially birth Golden Element Cores.
So, under Fei Fei's disappointment, Su Ping racked his brains in the latter half of the night.
He prepared for a big move.
Indeed, he further delved into the cultivation methods summarized in the Bestiary.
No mistake, his Primagnetic Quake Gold was abundant.
With this, could he use a large amount of Primagnetic Quake Gold to create a special Golden Element Core, awakening it as a Mechanical Core, and further pushing Fei Fei's evolution to the limit?
To plan this, he not only stayed up all night but also exerted a lot of brainpower.
However, Ye Zhou was unaware of this. After glancing at Long Er, who was driving ahead, he finally couldn't hold back and asked:
"Su Ping, what you said on the phone... that..."
"What's the rush? You can always look back later! But I'll tell you, prepare yourself mentally... that little thing is indeed special."
Hearing this, Ye Zhou became even more anxious.
But even in his anxiety, he could only wait at this moment.
Finally, at the entrance of the Nexus of All Souls, as the vehicle entered, Ye Zhou arrived at the reception room, where he eagerly looked towards Su Ping.
A bright light flashed.
The Time Book's figure appeared in the reception room.
Seeing Ye Zhou's bewildered gaze, Su Ping recalled himself a few days ago in Dragon City.
Indeed, he was the same expression then.
He also felt the impact of the world view at that time.
"The Time Book's special mutation resulted in changes to the Dragon Companion, and if normal, after completing an evolution, it would become a true Time Dragon.
As for the current form..."
Before Su Ping finished, Ye Zhou, with a shocked expression, stroked the Time Book:
"Time, the strangeness of time! I can feel..."
Obviously, Ye Zhou didn't finish his sentence either. The Time Book's body suddenly opened, pulling away from Ye Zhou's palm, and as the pages turned, on the yellowed paper, lines of text appeared:
'Foolish human, your time talent is strong, but compared to the great Time Book, it's like a speck of dust. Moreover, I am destined to be your contracted beast, so don't harbor foolish thoughts!'
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Cold and arrogant to outsiders, but loyal to his master, although the contract wasn't complete, such a good beast was worthy of being his contracted beast, especially among those with time talents.
Su Ping fully acknowledged this.
Ye Zhou sighed, but he didn't say more. His awakened second talent was also time-related, and his understanding of this special Time Companion Beast was no less than Su Ping's.
It was also because of this that he understood Su Ping would never give up such a beast.
In the vast realm of cultivation, a profound conversation unfolds between Ye Zhou and Su Ping, delving into the intricacies of cultivation skills and the potential of a unique beast.
"Su Ping, your little beast can see into the past, can't it?" Ye Zhou's voice deepened, his gaze unwavering.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, acknowledging Ye Zhou's insight. He nodded, "Not only the past, but even a glimpse of the future, though..."
Ye Zhou waved his hand, interrupting Su Ping's words with a hint of urgency. "The future is too uncertain, with countless time branches leading to countless parallel worlds. But the past is fixed, allowing for a clear and accurate glimpse. Its value and significance are far greater!"
Ye Zhou furrowed his brows, pondering for a moment before finally making a decision. "Su Ping, within the legacy of Master Jiang, I received a special request for a unique skill cultivation concept!"
However, even the genius of Master Jiang couldn't complete this cultivation, only providing an idea.
Initially, I believed this skill cultivation was impossible. At most, I could use clever methods, along with the energy remnants from time confirmation, to perfect the time projection.
But seeing your time-type beast, I see hope and potential!"
Observing Ye Zhou's expression, Su Ping didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, he rubbed his temples.
He had a premonition that he was about to encounter something that piqued his interest, but with his current time constraints, it wasn't suitable to explore a new branch of research.
Su Ping had a lot on his plate already.
Nevertheless, he sighed, "Tell me about this skill."
Ye Zhou exhaled, "Master Jiang's lifelong ambition was to reverse time, resurrecting a loved one. But reversing the world's timeline is beyond human capability.
Even if there were a time-type deity, achieving this would still be impossible.
So, later on, he aimed for the next best thing, developing an entirely new skill. This skill could resurrect the dead within the historical projection, completing the resurrection!"
Su Ping couldn't help but gasp in awe.
Resurrection?
How is that possible?!
But... thinking about it, the pain of life, aging, and death is one of the greatest sufferings in the world.
There are countless others who have strived for this, not just Jiang Xuanji.
Perhaps there are those who can achieve this, even the legendary divine deities of legends might struggle with this feat.
Su Ping admired the ambition and vision of the Jiang family's master from a millennium ago.
As Su Ping's curiosity subsided, Ye Zhou continued, "Master Jiang mentioned in her legacy that this skill is based on time projection, an incomplete time skill from the start. It combines the common time-type skill 'History Rewind' and the necromancy skill 'Soul and Memory' to achieve the fusion.
Master Jiang was clear in her explanation. 'History Rewind' locks onto the corresponding figure in history, and 'Time Projection' captures the image and abilities of the person from the river of time. With 'Soul Ferry,' the soul and memories of the target are gathered and formed within the time projection.
However, Master Jiang's idea is theoretically possible, but the 'History Rewind' ability can't bear the burden of decades of a person's life from the river of time.
Moreover, the initial 'Time Projection' was also incomplete, and Master Jiang, with her time running out, couldn't attempt it again.
But now, 'Time Projection' has been perfected by me.
If there's a time-type skill that can observe the past timeline, this skill of Master Jiang's definitely has the potential for success..."
Su Ping extended his hand, "Enough, don't say more..."
He wasn't dismissing Ye Zhou's words.
He wasn't dismissing the idea of Master Jiang, a time-type skill that could be considered a groundbreaking concept, defying the laws of nature.
But he couldn't bear to listen further, fearing he'd alter his plans again, adding this time-type skill to his research agenda.
His schedule was already packed.
Despite this, Su Ping's heart still stirred.
Hence, the question that had been plaguing him these past days resurfaced.
Why can't humans learn the Doppelganger Technique?
