Chapter 562: Possession Type! The Eye of Annihilation's Feedback
Chapter 562: Possession Type! The Eye of Annihilation's Feedback
How could one create history with just an arm?
How could this arm bring about a special advancement that would forever be etched in the annals of beast masters?
These questions lingered in the minds of Meng Yao and Zhu Hong, piquing their curiosity.
After retrieving the Sea King Naga's arm, Su Ping closed his eyes and fell into deep contemplation, taking no further action.
What he was about to do was something only he could accomplish.
Even those around him could only assist in minor tasks.
In fact, this first step might be the most challenging for Su Ping.
Previously, the Spring Deity had imparted the ability to carve life embryos from life carvings.
Now, Su Ping was determined to surpass his mentor's teachings! At this moment, his task was to carve the life embryo's ability onto this arm.
He aimed to create a completely self-sustaining life flow and energy circulation within the arm.
Then, he would establish the fundamental functions of a corresponding life form.
Turning a severed arm into a living being was an outlandish idea, something others might not even dare to imagine, let alone accomplish.
This was a capability bestowed upon him by the Spring Deity.
However, the success of life embryos relied on their nature as seeds of plant life. How could an arm achieve all this?
Undoubtedly, to accomplish this feat,
the Spring Deity's gift and experience in carving life embryos would not be of much use.
Before this, even the first question alone would have stumped him.
Unless the Spring Deity awakened again, Su Ping had reason to believe that even then, it would be a challenge for the deity to help him achieve this step in a short time.
However, the recent upgrade of the Origami Figure Codex had given him some inspiration.
Even a piece of paper could give birth to a soul and create an entirely new companion beast. So, what couldn't a blood and flesh remnant of a former companion beast achieve?
Most importantly, the life embryo carved from life required the grafting and connection of a plant-based companion beast to give birth to a true life and nurture a soul consciousness.
Su Ping, however, could use the method he employed to birth the origami figure, guiding the creation of an entirely new life within this specially crafted body.
This was why Su Ping had the confidence to do so.
It was also the idea that came to him initially.
As a familiar sensation emerged, Su Ping slowly extended his hand, imbuing a special power into the arm.
He wasn't in a rush to modify the arm.
Even after half a year, this arm showed no signs of decay. It remained incredibly vibrant, primarily because its original owner was a Saint Spirit Rank Naga King,
renowned for his physical prowess as a companion beast. His flesh possessed unique qualities.
Souls, especially those with extremely weak self-awareness and spirits, could not inhabit an arm normally. A general understanding of the arm's structure was necessary for modification.
As the strands of soul power slowly swept through the arm, Su Ping meticulously sensed every detail.
Even as a remnant, this arm, though not human, but belonging to a humanoid companion beast, had numerous intricate veins.
Most importantly, although the arm was flesh and blood, every drop of blood and each cell contained a significant amount of water elements.
These water elements kept the arm active and preserved a portion of its power.
This was why Su Ping chose this arm for his initial experiment.
With his soul perception and complete mental penetration, Su Ping quickly gained a thorough understanding of the Naga King's arm.
One could even say that at this moment, his knowledge of this arm surpassed his understanding of his own.
After all, he would never consider storing his soul in his arm instead of his brain.
It was an abstract concept.
Yet, this was precisely the result Su Ping desired.
He fell into deep thought and then took out an object.
It was a soul crystal.
Soul Crystal, among all the undead-type resources, is a relatively special thing.
The reason is simple; its level is not fixed.
As a remnant of a deceased undead beast companion, it can range from Elite to Saint Spirit Rank.
However, they differ in concentration and size.
The one Su Ping presented was merely a Monarch Rank Soul Crystal.
Soul Crystal is a remnant formed by the condensation of illusory soul power into a solid state.
But since it is a condensation of the soul, it can naturally disperse, much like the effect of water turning into ice, and ice can revert to water.
At this moment, under Su Ping's urging, the Soul Crystal containing soul power slowly melted and genuinely fused into the crippled limb.
The next moment, in everyone's eyes, Su Ping closed his eyes and grasped the arm of the Sea King Naga, beginning to knead it.
A rhythm that couldn't be described left Meng Yao and Zhu Hong staring at each other in bewilderment.
What was this kid up to? How did he grasp something that seemed so bizarre yet inexplicably believable? It was incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible.
Fortunately, Su Ping's actions didn't last too long.
Half an hour later, Su Ping slowly released his grip, and everyone looked at the arm again, only to be slightly startled.
There wasn't much change in the arm, except for a strange bump on the back of the hand, which wasn't particularly noticeable.
But for some reason, this arm gave the three people present an indescribable feeling.
Before that, this arm was just a crippled limb, even though it contained an immense amount of water element power, it was still a corpse.
The feeling of death was undeniable.
But now, this arm, which should still be a corpse, strangely exuded a vibrant vitality.
This feeling, if spoken of, would likely be met with disbelief.
How could an arm give such an illusion?
But that's how it was.
So, after Su Ping opened his eyes, Meng Yao and Zhu Hong, who had already been waiting impatiently, asked:
"Su Ping, what are you up to? What are you trying to breed?"
Su Ping didn't rush to answer; instead, he observed the arm for a while and then turned to Meng Yao:
"Senior Ray Saint, I need your help!"
"Just say it."
"Use your soul perception to trace along this arm and infuse your soul essence into the soul core on the back of the arm."
"Hmm?"
Meng Yao was slightly startled but still complied.
It was just a waste of soul power; he could easily replenish it by meditating or consuming resources of the same type, so it wasn't a big deal.
Holding the arm, Meng Yao closed his eyes, and a strand of consciousness slowly entered the arm, intertwining with the soul power.
Five minutes later, Meng Yao opened his eyes in surprise:
"Su Ping, the inside of this arm..."
Facing Su Ping's smile, Meng Yao still looked like he hadn't recovered from the shock.
Zhu Hong, on the side, was anxious: "Meng Yao, what's going on?"
Only then did Meng Yao speak:
"The inside of this arm is like a living being. Its energy is enough to form a self-sustaining cycle. Although it doesn't have any sense organs or companion beast organs,
as just an arm, it perfectly fits the soul core of an elemental or undead-type creature. If it weren't for the fact that this thing lacks intelligence and self-awareness,
and the soul has just condensed, and it doesn't seem to have any growth potential? Otherwise, this would be a brand new life!"
"Ah?"
Zhu Hong blinked and then looked at Su Ping with uncertainty. He seemed to suddenly understand what Su Ping was planning, but he couldn't bring himself to believe it.
After all, as a master breeder of elemental companions, renowned throughout Dragon Nation and even on Blue Star, he had never imagined that there would come a day with such an inconceivable idea.
But if not for this idea, he couldn't fathom what Su Ping was trying to accomplish.
So, he thought for a moment and then asked tentatively:
"Su Ping, do you want to breed a new type of companion beast?
Su Ping nodded, no longer hiding his ambitions.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong, who was initially excited, furrowed his brows slightly and lowered his head in deep thought.
Meng Yao, who had been perplexed, suddenly widened his eyes, "What? A new type of companion beast? In this era, what new type of companion beast could possibly emerge?"
This question was also on Zhu Hong's mind:
"Su Ping, what form do you envision for this new type of companion beast? You should know that a completely new type of companion beast is not just about changing its appearance."
Even though this Sea King Naiya's arm was indeed peculiar, in the world of beast masters, a truly new type of beast is primarily defined by its unique combat style and an unprecedented breeding direction! For example, the Mechanic Class companion beasts are like this. The breeding and combat methods of Mechanic Class beasts are entirely novel, and only then can it be considered..."
Zhu Hong's thoughts were complex, and this complexity did not include negative emotions like jealousy.
His complex feelings mainly stemmed from his eagerness for Su Ping to truly achieve such results, but he was also afraid that Su Ping might not fully understand the implications of creating a new type of beast, leading to a premature celebration.
Facing Zhu Hong's earnest gaze, Su Ping also became cautious. After a moment of thought, he said, "I can't be certain of success, but it's worth a try. We'll have to wait and see in a few days."
"A few days?"
"Yes! Regardless, we must take the first step! First, we need to let the life form take shape!"
Su Ping nodded.
Three days later, that was his estimated time.
Not only had he fully grasped the Origami Figure Codex and gained significant control over soul rules, but even if he were to advance to the Mythic rank, it would be unreasonable to create a living being with a complete soul in just half an hour using only a single soul crystal.
Therefore, three days were required for this Naga King's arm to undergo the process of becoming a living entity, developing a basic soul consciousness and self-awareness.
With this in mind, Su Ping quickly scanned the area. As a water-type breeding laboratory, Zhu Hong's place naturally had plenty of resources left.
Su Ping picked up a large basin and collected a significant amount of Monarch Rank resources, including agarwood water and life water. Then, as was customary, he added a substantial amount of powdered soul crystals, and finally, he took out a stack of soul-calming paper and covered the arm with it.
This sealed the Sea King Naiya's arm within the pool of liquid.
After completing this process, Su Ping let out a long sigh of relief.
Whether it succeeded or not, it was a step-by-step process.
For his first attempt, he was using the arm of a Saint Spirit rank ferocious beast. If the first step encountered problems and failed, it wouldn't just be a waste of materials; it would also be a significant blow to his confidence and a lengthy search for solutions.
However, if he succeeded on a whim, it would be a great joy.
But if he failed, Su Ping wouldn't have the time or energy to extensively research this elusive breeding process.
So, Su Ping turned to Jia Ji:
"Water Venerable Elder, I apologize for the wait. I'll have breakfast and then come to check your condition and make arrangements for treatment!"
As Su Ping said, after identifying Jia Ji's ailment and with his profound understanding of souls, the treatment wasn't particularly challenging.
However, aside from the treatment, what was more important was that Jia Ji's condition might be related to Su Ping's ideas about this new type of companion beast he had envisioned! A little more time wouldn't hurt.
Jia Ji nodded, and Su Ping then turned to Meng Yao and Zhu Hong.
Just as he sat down, Su Ping's body stiffened.
At that moment, the All Spirit Codex provided a feedback that he hadn't anticipated:
[Obtained crucial breeding progress! Companion beast 'Eye Demon' evolves into 'Annihilating Eye' form. The second evolution method has broken through, and perfecting this second breeding method will reduce the required General Experience by 10,000 points. Currently, 10,000 points of General Experience are needed to forcefully perfect the second evolution method of the Annihilating Eye!]
Upon receiving this feedback, Su Ping stood frozen in place.
Then, he revealed a smile, now understanding what was different about the second evolution method of the Annihilating Eye.
His idea was correct; the possession type was indeed feasible.
