Chapter 459: Contract Completion! The Request of Spring Demon Bichuan!
Chapter 459: Contract Completion! The Request of Spring Demon Bichuan!
It felt as if one's hand had been plunged into a basin of scalding hot water.
The first sensation that emerged was a chilling feeling, different from the body's surface temperature, and then, in less than a second, the scorching sensation was transmitted from the body's nerves to the brain.
However, Su Ping's so-called hand was connected through a special soul contract.
The little flame's soul contract seemed like a raging inferno.
At the moment the connection was established, Su Ping's soul temperature seemed to rise as well.
The discomfort of the connection quickly dissipated, leaving no trace.
Instead, a warm sensation took its place, one that was indescribable.
This warmth felt like lying in a hot spring, every inch of the body feeling incredibly comfortable.
Clearly, this sensation wasn't an illusion.
For at the very instant the soul connection was reestablished, Su Ping's mental power began to resonate from the soul connection.
The realm that had just broken through the day before began to tremble once more.
However, compared to the previous breakthroughs, this improvement wasn't particularly significant.
Over the past two days, Su Ping's meditation hadn't been frequent, and the enhancement of mental power and the breakthrough of his realm were still in the process of stabilization.
Of course, the most crucial point was that at this very moment, although the little flame had undergone multiple instances of devouring, and its realm had significantly improved compared to the beginning, it was still too low compared to Su Ping.
The feedback between a companion beast and its beastmaster is bidirectional and depends on the gap in their realms.
Before the contract, the little flame had just broken through to the Overlord rank, which was significantly lower than Su Ping's rank. It would be extremely difficult for it to provide feedback that would elevate Su Ping's realm by one level.
Su Ping's improvement was unrealistic, but almost at the moment the contract was established, a tremendous force passed through the soul contract and directly infused into the little flame's body.
Subsequently, the little flame's aura rapidly intensified, as if it was growing exponentially.
Before the little flame could even react, it soared to the fifth rank of the Overlord rank at an astonishing speed."
At the Overlord rank, just by establishing a contract, you've elevated four small realms," Su Ping thought.
At the same time, he became fully aware of the little flame's situation.
Su Ping closed his eyes, sensing the feedback from the soul contract:
[Mutant True Spirit Flame (Contracted)]
[Age: 7 months and 25 days]
[Attribute: Flame]
[Current Rank: Overlord Fifth Rank]
[Race Potential: Mythic Tenth Rank]
[Skills: Combustion Technique (Proficient), Elemental Body (Perfect), Flame Soul (Special), Phoenix Fire (Proficient), Flame Devour (Perfect), Temperature Increase (Perfect)]
Indeed, these were all the little flame's abilities.
If one were to ignore the mythical race potential, and just consider the skills it possessed, even a fire element companion beast with some potential and combat strength would be far superior to this creature.
Aside from the absurdly high skill levels, the scarcity of skills was also lamentable. Moreover, they didn't seem to have any particularly remarkable capabilities.
The realm was undoubtedly the primary standard for measuring a companion beast's strength, but skills were the most crucial aspect in unleashing their true power.
In fact, the lower the realm, the more powerful the companion beast's skills, the more important it became.
The little flame, at the Overlord rank, might not even be considered qualified if placed in the hands of many tamers.
Su Ping, however, wasn't concerned. Instead, he was intrigued by the Phoenix Fire:
[Phoenix Fire (Proficient): The mutant form possesses an extremely special origin. Its flame seems to have a life of its own, capable of recovering at a faster rate than ordinary creatures when consumed.]
Phoenix Fire?
He hadn't seen any information about this skill in the Tamer Association's database.
However, judging by its meaning and appearance, it seemed to be a special skill possessed by the Flame Sovereign's avatar.
It wasn't like the unique nature of Phoenix Blaze, nor was it a different elemental form or even a fundamental flame element power.
Instead, it seemed more like a combination of life element power and flame element power.
Su Ping's eyebrows raised slightly.
He seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't quite analyze it.
So, he closed his eyes and sank into deep thought.
Life element power infused into the flame, forming this so-called Phoenix Fire.
Could this be the ability that allowed the Flame Sovereign to seal itself during its final moments, in the last stage of its lifespan, and complete its resurrection thousands of years later?
The Phoenix Blaze is a small flame that can be manipulated to resurrect the fire, but. even with the soul,. even more powerful.
It can be said that throughout the entire Dragon Nation, he is now unafraid of even the legendary Saint Dragon Legend, but he is afraid of the one before him.
Because he truly couldn't fathom what this peculiar Wood-type Mythic-level resource was.
However, after arriving, the Spring Demon Chuncan showed no signs of excitement, seemingly focusing all its attention on the little flame and the condensed Flame Seed.
This made Su Ping, who had originally wanted to get intimate with the little flame, hesitate to make a move.
He could only wait with the little flame for the complete fusion of the Flame Seed.
Fortunately, perhaps due to the efficiency of the previous fusion, this time, the fusion process was much faster than when Little Crow underwent it.
In less than two hours, the Fire Elemental Core completely merged with the Magma Heart.
The Flame Seed was successfully formed.
Afterwards, Spring Demon Chuncan stared intently at that object, and at the same time, watched as the little flame's body completely merged with it.
At this moment, Su Ping didn't have the leisure to pay attention to Spring Demon Chuncan.
Although Little Crow had successfully undergone this process before,
Little Crow's success was achieved by strictly following the process outlined in the Ten Thousand Souls Codex.
However, the Flame Soul on Little Flame's body was innately present.
Although the names and effects were the same, who knew if it could truly fuse with the Flame Seed? Even a one percent change or difference might lead to completely opposite results.
Moreover, Little Flame had just become his Companion Beast, and this was their first cultivation after establishing their Soul Contract, akin to a couple's first date, which was of utmost importance.
Fortunately,
From the current situation, it seemed there were no issues.
Just like with Little Crow.
The only difference was that Little Flame directly integrated the Flame Seed into its fiery body.
However, after the fusion, fiery red flames surged forth, encircling Little Flame, and unlike Little Crow, Little Flame's Soul Contract provided feedback on this sensation.
Little Flame's feedback was:
'Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle... (So comfortable...)'
With such direct feedback, Su Ping's worried heart finally relaxed.
Indeed, soon after, through the feedback from the Soul Contract, Little Flame's Flame Soul, like Little Crow's, transformed into a Flame Seed.
The only difference from Little Crow was the feedback from the flames, which was simpler for Little Flame:
(Current Flame: Pure High Temperature)
Without Little Crow's dark attribute and burning sensation, there was only a simple high temperature.
But this also represented the most fundamental destructive power of flames.
However, this also indirectly proved that Little Flame's Nirvana Flame was indeed unrelated to the Phoenix Blaze and was likely a failed imitation created by the Flame Sovereign.
As he was thinking this, the nearby Spring Demon Chuncan seemed to stir as well, taking a few steps closer to Little Flame.
Even though Su Ping couldn't see its facial features or expressions, he could strangely sense its emotions.
This one seemed extremely interested in what had just happened, or more specifically, in the Flame Seed.
Thus, this one 'turned its head' and 'looked' at Su Ping.
A branch-like tender sprout tendril extended towards him, followed by a familiar mental transmission.
However, Su Ping's understanding of this one's message was not entirely clear.
"Senior, this Flame Seed is condensed from the Fire Elemental Core, which is completely suppressed by your Wood element!"
The tendril showed no signs of retracting and instead became more insistent.
Su Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead. With this senior whom he could only guess at, he could only ask more questions. So, he thought for a moment and said, "Do you want a large quantity of Wood Elemental Cores corresponding to this Flame Seed, as well as resource materials corresponding to the Magma Heart?"
It was evident that after several interactions with this one, Su Ping had gained some understanding.
Upon hearing this, Spring Demon Chuncan's tendrils retracted, and it nodded in satisfaction.
However, Su Ping wasn't pleased and instead sighed in frustration, "Okay, rest assured, within three days, I'll deliver them to you."
Upon hearing this, Spring Demon Chuncan's figure instantly disappeared.
However, before leaving, it seemed to glance at Little Flame a few more times, evidently very interested in Little Flame's transformation.
Su Ping wasn't pleased and instead frowned in worry.
Wouldn't this further burden the already strained financial situation of the Heart of Ten Thousand Souls?
It seemed that he could only continue to ask for resources from the organization.
Pfft, it's applying for organizational material assistance and research funding!
However, amidst his frustration, Su Ping's curiosity arose.
What did this one want these materials for?
