Chapter 576: Oceanic Arm! A New Breed of Beast!

Chapter 576: Oceanic Arm! A New Breed of Beast!

This was a rather magical thing.

Among the three present, all were experienced and well-versed in the ways of the world.

However, at first glance, they struggled to find the words to describe this peculiar object.

Indeed, this was the arm of the Sea King Naga, which had been soaking for nearly five days, undergoing multiple treatments, and had now completed its transformation.

It seemed simple, but in reality, despite the lack of precious resources, the methods employed were beyond what could be achieved with resources alone.

The sculpting technique personally taught by the Spring Deity allowed lifeforms to form self-sustaining energy cycles, akin to the means of creation itself.

And through the Origami Bestiary's level 6 bestowal, Su Ping gained a profound understanding of soul creation, rivaling even the inheritance of the God of the Dead.

With both physical and spiritual creation techniques, theoretically, creating an entirely new lifeform was no challenge for Su Ping.

Thus, Su Ping had confidence in the formation of this arm.

However, when the arm truly revived, Su Ping was still somewhat surprised.

It was indeed an arm, bearing some of the Sea King Naga's markings, like the azure fine scales.

But compared to the previous arm's azure flesh, broken meridians, and bones, these features had completely vanished without a trace.

All that remained was a form that existed between elements and flesh.

It seemed capable of switching between flesh and elements, akin to the Beast Taming Talent 'Elementalization' being freely employed.

Normally, it resembled a combination of fine mist and semi-transparent jelly-like substances.

But when it stretched out, a bright and azure glowing eye between the back of the hand and the wrist caught everyone's attention.

Most importantly, after being retrieved from the water, the azure eye opened, and a wave of mental communication formed by its spirit entered the spiritual perception of the three.

"Fa...ther..."

This newly born entity couldn't speak, but there was no doubt that this basic consciousness wave, even without the need for the Spirit Communication Talent, was clear to everyone present.

For this very reason, Zhu Hong and Meng Yao looked at Su Ping with a glint of shock in their eyes.

Setting aside whether this could be considered an entirely new type of beast, the mere fact that a new beast life had been created was already an astonishing feat.

Su Ping didn't respond but instead eagerly examined the special lifeform through his Spirit Eye.

He wanted to see if his idea was feasible.

Despite his confidence, the second cultivation method within the Annihilation Eye, which reduced general experience consumption by half, was proof enough.

And indeed, it was true:

【Oceanic Arm - Wild, Age: 0 days】

【Attribute: Water】

【Current Realm: None】

【Race Potential: Unknown】

【Skills: None】

It had no realm, no race potential, and no skills.

But under the Spirit Eye's lock-on, there was no doubt that this was indeed a beast.

However, the beast's subsequent abilities still needed further development.

At that moment, Zhu Hong, who also possessed the True Vision Talent, observed the Oceanic Arm in its entirety and exhaled a long breath.

Su Ping looked at Zhu Hong, and Zhu Hong looked back at Su Ping.

The old and the young exchanged glances, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Both could see the eagerness in each other's eyes.

Zhu Hong understood that this unique physical structure and special body had already become...

It was just like a mechanical beast, lacking external energy to complete the cycle and stimulate the emergence of its unique racial skill.

Somewhat similar to the gold element core of a mechanical beast, which had just been activated by electromagnetic flow but hadn't yet received information flow to form its own consciousness.

No, that analogy wasn't quite right!

Zhu Hong quickly discarded this comparison.

The reason was simple; this Sea King arm had already sent out a wave of consciousness, a familiar call that proved this peculiar entity had developed self-awareness and perception.

Now, what this Oceanic Arm lacked was just one thing.

"Food!"

Zhu Hong and Su Ping almost simultaneously voiced their thoughts.

Having known each other for a year and jointly nurturing numerous beasts, they shared an unspoken understanding.

So, they exchanged glances and began rummaging through their Beast Control Spaces.

Zhu Hong, as a master of the elemental type, had all the elements at his disposal.

Su Ping was no different, as his Beast Control Space also possessed a Water Element space trait, naturally giving birth to some water-type resources.

Among them, only Meng Yao was a bit bewildered, yet he eagerly turned his attention to the Oceanic Arm.

Within this entity, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

He knew that this sense of intimacy was the main reason he allowed his spiritual consciousness to enter the Sea King's arm and infused the soul crystal.

Although it was strange for an arm, as a pet, to give someone this feeling, the world of Beastmasters was vast and full of wonders. This situation, though miraculous and unique, was not unacceptable to Meng Yao.

On the contrary, the longer he looked, the more he felt a sense of adorable awkwardness.

Unfortunately, Su Ping didn't give Meng Yao the opportunity or time to bond with the newly awakened Sea King's arm. After gathering a large amount of resources, he grabbed the arm.

This thing felt a bit 'duangduang' in his hand.

At the same time, there was an indescribable feeling of softness and sliminess.

And with a slight force, it felt like an oceanic arm.

He didn't dwell on this change but looked at the Sea King's arm:

"Little guy, you've just been born and need to replenish your energy. Let's eat something."

Although they had brought out quite a few items, in reality, there weren't any particularly high-level resources.

Most were common elite-level resources, and many were water-based liquids rather than solid crystal-type resources.

Both of them were already experienced in feeding pets.

Without further ado from Su Ping, as he lifted the Sea King's arm, the arm suddenly became lively, and the five fingers in front started waving vigorously, struggling to reach the nearest bowl of 'Azure Blue Water,' a low-level elite resource.

Su Ping watched the arm's movements.

At this moment, the Sea King's arm wriggled in his hand like a trapped loach, desperately struggling.

Su Ping let it get closer, and the originally glowing blue eye disappeared, which was strange. The five fingers, like little mouths, plunged into the Azure Blue Water and began to suck frantically.

Then, the bowl of Azure Blue Water, nearly a liter in volume, visibly emptied before their eyes.

Wow, it had quite an appetite!

Su Ping nodded with a smile.

A good eater was a blessing!

Neither he nor Master Zhu Hong rushed the Sea King's arm but watched as it continued to eat.

Bowl after bowl of Azure Blue Water, along with elite-level essence pearls, Rootless Well Water, and other resources of the same level, were consumed by the Sea King's arm.

Finally, after half an hour, approximately half a ton of water-based resources had been devoured. The five fingers slowly merged, and the blue eye on the back of the hand reappeared.

Then, a satisfied and content look appeared on the big eye, and it even closed its eyes in contentment.

But that wasn't the most important thing.

The most crucial moment was when a ray of light that Su Ping had longed for appeared.

Of course, it wasn't the light of evolution. The evolution of a new pet wasn't that easy. Judging from this creature, evolution seemed unlikely.

This was purely the light of breaking through a realm.

The previous Sea King's arm was an unranked beast without a grade, at the very bottom of the food chain, not even qualifying as a pet.

But after consuming these water-based resources,

The energy contained within the food finally began to flow within the energy channels that Su Ping had already carved out in the Sea King's arm.

Once there was energy, it represented an official rank! In fact, it was finally correct.

At this moment, Su Ping felt a sense of freedom and accomplishment.

Even he himself hadn't expected to succeed so easily.

Not only did he succeed, but it was also so smooth and simple? In his doubt, he seemed to have completely forgotten his own foundation.

As rays of light flashed from the Sea King's arm, Su Ping once again activated his Spirit Eye and looked at the arm. This time, compared to the previous one, it was like comparing heaven and earth:

【Sea King's Arm - Wild, Age: 0 days】

【Attribute: Water】

【Current Realm: Common Sixth Rank】

【Race Potential: Unknown】

【Skills: Arm Fusion (Beginner), Water Shield (Beginner)】

A simple pet, perhaps even crude.

But it had one skill that might be the first of its kind in the entire Beastmaster world:

【Arm Fusion (Beginner): A unique body structure allows the Sea King's Arm to merge into the right arm of some creatures, enabling the merged being to master all skills of the Sea King's Arm!】

That's right.

It was this skill.

Su Ping slowly exhaled.

This was the greatest inspiration he had gained from the Mermaid Princess a few days ago, and it was the best answer to his idea.

How would this created pet form a completely innovative pet cultivation path?

Possession!

Inspired by the Mermaid Princess's split and fusion with her original body, as well as the Wind Thunder Wing formed by the Azure Dragon, Thunder Spirit, and Hurricane Spirit during the Youth Professional Assessment Tournament.

There were still many more to come, and through fusion and practice, it was only after Jia Ji's enlightenment that this thing finally appeared in the world.

However, it was still in its infancy. In the future, constant experimentation and innovation were needed to allow the Possession-type beast to become an entirely new beast category, as well as to open up a completely different breeding path and combat style from other beasts!

At this thought, Su Ping didn't let Meng Yao, who was eager to try, take action. Instead, he extended his hand.

Even though the Oceanic Arm before him was not connected through a Soul Contract, it still held a strong affinity for Su Ping, its creator.

So, as Su Ping extended his hand, the Oceanic Arm slowly activated its innate creation ability.

Zhu Hong and Meng Yao both stared in amazement.

Zhu Hong even took out a video camera and recorded everything.

The first Possession-type beast's Possession represented an invaluable historical significance and value.

At the same time, any accidents could be discovered immediately.

Under the gaze of many eyes, the Oceanic Arm seemed to melt and slowly merged with Su Ping's right arm, which was not pale but had a white skin tone.

At this moment, Su Ping's right arm seemed to be wearing a blue sleeve and glove.

A mist enveloped his arm, and then it began to contract.

Su Ping felt something special. He felt a coolness that he couldn't quite describe, not only on the surface of his skin but also in his veins, flesh, and blood, all permeated by this chill.

But there was more.

Su Ping could sense that at a deeper level in the neural connection to his brain, there was a spirit consciousness following the nerves into his brain, and it slightly connected with his soul.

However, this connection was very simple, and he could feel that the connection was not perfect; his soul and the soul of the Oceanic Arm were not a perfect match.

At this moment, Su Ping gained some enlightenment and fully understood some of the key details of Possession-type beasts.

Finally, the fusion was complete.

Both of them looked at Su Ping's right arm, which had undergone a significant change.

Yes, even though it was just an ordinary Oceanic Arm, the transformation it brought to Su Ping was comparable to a Qilin Arm!

On the arm, delicate azure scales slightly covered it, not entirely concealing it but covering about fifty percent.

On the forearm and shoulder, there were several spiked fin-like structures.

And on the hand, the azure glowing eye reappeared.

"Gurgle..."

A strange cry sounded.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and he directly raised his hand.

Through the soul connection, he felt a special vibration.

The next second, in the laboratory, a large water shield stood upright in front of him.

The water elements in the air rapidly condensed.

Water Shield! The only skill the Oceanic Arm currently had.

But this one skill exceeded Su Ping's imagination.

The reason was simple; he found that he could even infuse his mental power into the skill activated by the arm.

So, under the equally shocked and amazed gazes of Meng Yao and Zhu Hong,

the aura of the massive water shield rapidly intensified.

From ordinary to elite, it could even block some attacks from Lord-ranked beasts.

However, when Su Ping wanted to continue infusing his mental power, a 'puh' sound came out, and the condensed water shield disappeared. The next moment, a blue aura emerged, and the Oceanic Arm directly released the Possession fusion state, seemingly fainting.

But this first fusion was enough.

Because they had discovered the advantage of Possession-type beasts that other beasts couldn't match.

That is, after fusion, the Beastmaster's realm could also be transformed into the combat power granted by the beast!

This alone was something that other beasts couldn't compare to! Zhu Hong's palm trembled as he looked at the arm, his gaze like a wolf eyeing meat.

Meng Yao didn't even think twice before directly embracing the Oceanic Arm and placing it in the Beast Taming Space for careful nurturing.

Su Ping didn't mind this scene but instead revealed a smile.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex gave him an unimaginable big bomb:

[Developed a new beast type prototype, gained 10,000 General Experience Points.]



[All beasts of this type are fully cultivated, and 'Simulated Cultivation' and other abilities accompanying the rank of the Codex can be directly used!]



[Obtained crucial cultivation progress! The second evolution method of the 'Eye Demon' form of the beast 'Annihilation Eye' has been improved, reducing the required General Experience by 8,000 points. Currently, 2,000 General Experience Points are required to forcefully improve the second evolution method of the Annihilation Eye! Alternatively, enter Simulated Cultivation to cultivate it yourself.]
