Chapter 576: The Sea King's Arm! A New Type of Beast!
Chapter 576: The Sea King's Arm! A New Type of Beast!
This was a rather wondrous thing.
Among the three present, they were all well-traveled and knowledgeable.
However, at first, none of them could find the right words to describe this peculiar object.
Indeed, this was the arm of the Sea King Naga that had been soaking for almost five days, undergoing multiple treatments, and had now completed its transformation.
It seemed simple, but in fact, although there were no precious resources involved.
The methods used, however, were such that even with resources, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve or compare to.
The Spring God personally imparted the technique of carving life, which allowed life forms to form a self-sustaining energy cycle.
It was almost akin to the means of creation itself.
And in terms of the soul, the level 6 Origami Person Manual's bestowal gave Su Ping a sense of creation that was no less impressive than the Death God's inheritance.
With both body and soul having their respective creation methods, theoretically, creating an entirely new life form was not a difficult task for Su Ping.
Therefore, Su Ping was confident about the formation of this arm.
However, when the object truly revived, Su Ping was still somewhat surprised.
It was indeed an arm.
It had some of the Sea King Naga's markings, such as the fine blue scales.
But compared to the Sea King Naga's blue flesh and blood, broken meridians, and bones, all those things had completely disappeared without a trace.
What remained was a form that existed between elements and flesh.
It seemed as if it could switch between flesh and elements, like the Beastmaster talent 'Elementalization' being freely displayed.
Normally, it resembled a combination of subtle smoke and semi-transparent jelly-like substances.
But when it stretched out, a bright blue eye on the back of the hand, between the wrist and the arm, clearly matched everyone's imagination.
Most importantly, after being retrieved from the water, the bright blue eye opened, and a wave of mental speech formed by its spirit entered the spiritual perception of the three.
"Fa...ther..."
This newly born creature naturally couldn't speak, but without a doubt, even without the need for the Beastmaster talent, everyone present could understand this basic consciousness wave.
It was for this reason that Zhu Hong and Meng Yao gave Su Ping a look of astonishment.
Putting aside whether these things could be considered a new type of beast, the mere fact of creating an entirely new beast life was enough to be considered a shocking feat.
Su Ping didn't respond but instead eagerly looked at the newly created life form with his Spiritual Eye.
He wanted to see if his idea had any chance of realization.
He already had confidence, especially since the second breeding method in the Eye of Annihilation reduced the universal experience value consumption by half.
And indeed, this was the case:
[Sea King's Arm: Wild, Age: Zero]
[Attribute: Water]
[Current Realm: None]
[Race Potential: Unknown]
[Skills: None]
It had no realm, no race potential, and no skills.
But under the lock of the Spiritual Eye, there was no doubt that this was indeed a beast.
It just needed further development of its abilities.
At this moment, Zhu Hong, who also possessed the Real Eye talent, looked at the Sea King's Arm and sighed deeply.
Su Ping turned to Zhu Hong, and Zhu Hong looked back at Su Ping.
The old and the young, their eyes were both bright and piercing.
They could see the eagerness in each other's eyes.
Zhu Hong understood that this object's unique physical structure and special body had already become something.
It just needed external energy to complete the cycle and act as a stimulus for the emergence of its special racial skill.
It was somewhat similar to a mechanical beast.
Similar to a mechanical beast's golden element core, which had just been activated by the electromagnetic flow and had not yet formed a self with the information flow.
No, that's not right!
Zhu Hong quickly discarded this analogy.
The reason was simple; just now, this Sea King's Arm had sent out that wave from its spiritual consciousness.
That affectionate call was enough to prove that this odd object already had self-awareness and perception.
Currently, what the Sea King's Arm lacked was just one thing.
"Food!"
Zhu Hong and Su Ping almost simultaneously spoke.
Having known each other for a year and having jointly cultivated many beasts, they had this level of tacit understanding.
So, the two of them began to rummage through the Beast Taming Space.
Zhu Hong, as a master of the element type, had all the elements within him.
Su Ping also had a water-type space trait in his Beast Taming Space, so it was natural for him to produce some water-type resources.
Among those present, only Meng Yao was a little bewildered, but he was already eagerly looking at the Sea King's Arm.
He felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with this object.
He knew that this sense of familiarity was mainly because Su Ping had allowed him to enter the Sea King's Arm with his soul's consciousness and had sent in that soul crystal.
Despite the strangeness of having an arm as a pet, the Beast Tamer world is vast and full of wonders. Although this situation is both mysterious and unique, Meng Yao finds it acceptable.
On the contrary, after observing it for a while, he finds it oddly adorable.
Unfortunately, Su Ping doesn't give Meng Yao a chance to bond with the newly awakened Sea King Arm. After gathering a pile of resources, he grabs the arm.
The arm feels a bit duangduang upon touch.
It has an indescribable softness and smoothness.
But with a slight force, it feels like a sponge.
Su Ping doesn't dwell on this sensation and instead looks at the Sea King Arm:
"Little guy, you need to replenish energy after being born. Let's eat something."
Although they have gathered many items, there aren't any particularly high-level resources.
Most are ordinary elite-level resources, primarily liquid-based with water as the medium, rather than solid crystal-type resources.
Both are experienced in feeding pets.
Without further ado, Su Ping picks up the Sea King Arm, and its large blue eyes immediately become lively, fixating on the closest basin of 'Blue Water' elite resource. The five fingers eagerly reach out, struggling to get closer to the basin.
Su Ping observes its movements.
At this moment, the Sea King Arm wriggles in his hand like an uncontrollable loach.
It struggles frantically.
Su Ping allows it to reach the basin, and the originally bright blue eye disappears. Strangely, a crack appears on each of the five fingers.
Although it's a bit abstract and sanity-draining, Su Ping had anticipated this, as he had personally carved the life trajectory and arcs.
The cracks on the five fingers resemble small mouths, dipping into the blue water and sucking vigorously.
Before long, the basin, which holds nearly a liter of blue water, visibly empties.
Wow, it has a big appetite!
Su Ping nods with a smile.
A good appetite is a blessing! Neither he nor Zhu Hong rush the Sea King Arm; they just watch it eat.
Basin after basin of blue water, elite-level essence dew, rootless well water, and other resources of the same level are consumed by the Sea King Arm.
Finally, after half an hour and approximately half a ton of water-type resources, the cracks on the five fingers slowly merge, and the large blue eye on the back of the hand reappears.
The eye now carries a satisfied expression, even seeming to squint in contentment.
But this isn't the most important part.
The crucial moment arrives when a highly anticipated light appears.
Of course, it's not the light of evolution; the evolution of a new pet isn't that simple. Moreover, it seems unlikely for this creature to evolve.
This is purely the light of breaking through a realm.
The previous Sea King Arm was an unranked beast, at the very bottom of the food chain, not even qualifying as a pet.
However, after consuming these water-type resources,
The energy contained in the food finally begins to flow within the Sea King Arm, through the energy channels carved by Su Ping.
With energy, it signifies an official rank! In fact, this is indeed the case.
At this moment, Su Ping feels like a fish in the vast ocean and a bird in the boundless sky.
Even he himself is surprised by his success.
Not only did he succeed, but it was also so smooth and straightforward. In his doubt, he completely forgot about his own foundation.
As rays of light flash from the Sea King Arm, Su Ping once again uses his Spiritual Eye to examine it, and this time, compared to the previous creature, it is like the difference between heaven and earth:
【Sea King Arm - Wild, Age: Zero Days】
【Attribute: Water】
【Current Realm: Ordinary Sixth Rank】
【Race Potential: Unknown】
【Skills: Arm Fusion (Beginner), Water Shield Technique (Beginner)】
Simple, plain, even rudimentary, this is a basic pet.
However, it possesses a skill that might be the first of its kind in the entire Beast Tamer world:
【Arm Fusion (Beginner): A unique body structure allows the Sea King Arm to fuse with the right arm of certain life forms, granting them control over all of the Sea King Arm's skills!】
That's right.
This is the skill Su Ping envisioned.
Su Ping exhales slowly.
This skill was inspired by his encounter with the Mermaid Princess a few days ago, providing the perfect solution to his idea.
How will this created pet form an entirely innovative pet breeding line?
Possession!
Recalling the split and fusion of the Mermaid Princess and her original body, he combines it with the idea of the Wind Thunder Wing formed by the Azure Dragon and the Thunder and Hurricane Sprites during the Youth Professional Examination Competition.
There were still many aspects to explore, integrate, and practice. It was only after Jiaoji's insightful words that this idea finally came to fruition.
However, it was still in its infancy. In the future, constant experimentation and innovation were needed to establish Possessing Beasts as a new category of beasts and to develop a completely different breeding path and combat style. With this in mind, Su Ping didn't let the eager Meng Yao take action but instead extended his hand.
Although he didn't have a soul contract with the Sea King's Arm before him, the Sea King's Arm felt a strong sense of familiarity with Su Ping, its creator.
As Su Ping reached out, the Sea King's Arm slowly activated its innate creation ability.
Both Zhu Hong and Meng Yao stared in disbelief, and Zhu Hong even took out a video camera to record everything.
The first Possessing Beast's possession held historical significance and value beyond imagination.
Additionally, in case of any unexpected incidents, they could be discovered immediately.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Sea King's Arm seemed to melt and slowly merged with Su Ping's right arm, which, although not pale, had a fair complexion.
At this moment, Su Ping's right arm appeared to be wearing a blue sleeve and glove.
A mist enveloped it, and then the mist began to contract.
Su Ping felt something special. He felt an indescribable coolness, not only on his skin's surface but also within his veins and flesh, as if his entire being was immersed in this chill.
But there was more.
Su Ping could sense that, through the neural connection to his brain, there was a spiritual consciousness that followed the nerves into his mind, slightly connecting with his soul.
However, this connection was simple, and he could feel that it wasn't perfect; the soul of this Sea King's Arm didn't entirely match his.
At this moment, Su Ping gained a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Possessing Beasts.
Finally, the fusion ended.
Both of them looked at Su Ping's right arm, which had undergone a significant transformation.
Indeed, although it was just an ordinary Sea King's Arm, the change it brought to Su Ping was like acquiring a Kirin Arm!
On his arm, delicate blue scales partially covered it, revealing about fifty percent of the arm.
On the forearm and shoulder, there were several barbed fin-like objects.
On the hand, the blue, ghostly eye appeared again.
"Gurgle..."
A strange cry echoed.
Su Ping's mind moved, and he raised his hand.
Through the soul connection, he felt a special wave.
The next second, a massive water shield appeared in the laboratory, standing before him.
The water elements in the air rapidly condensed.
Water Shield—the only skill of the Sea King's Arm.
But this one skill exceeded Su Ping's imagination.
The reason was that he discovered he could even infuse his spirit into the skills activated by this arm.
As Meng Yao and Zhu Hong looked on in astonishment,
the aura of the massive water shield rapidly intensified.
From ordinary to elite, and eventually, this water shield could even block some attacks from Overlord-ranked beasts.
However, as Su Ping continued to infuse his spirit, a 'pfft' sound was heard, and the condensed water shield disappeared. The next moment, a blue mist dispersed.
The Sea King's Arm directly terminated the possession fusion, and from its posture, it seemed to have fainted.
But this first fusion was enough.
They had discovered the unique advantage of Possessing Beasts that other beasts couldn't match.
That is, after fusion, the beastmaster's power could also be transformed into the combat power of the possessed beast!
This alone was something that other beasts couldn't compare to! Zhu Hong's palm trembled as he gazed at the arm, his eyes gleaming like a wolf eyeing its prey.
Meng Yao didn't hesitate and immediately embraced the Sea King's Arm, placing it in the Beast Taming Space for careful nurturing.
Su Ping didn't mind this and instead revealed a smile.
At this moment, the Heart of All Spirits gave him an unimaginable surprise:
[Developed a new beast type prototype, gaining 10,000 points of general experience.]
[Once all beasts of this type are fully bred, you can directly use 'Simulated Breeding' and all other abilities associated with the Heart of All Spirits' levels!]
[Obtained critical breeding progress! The second evolution method of the 'Eye of Annihilation' form of the 'Evolution of the Eye' has been improved. Perfecting this second breeding method reduces the required general experience by 8,000 points, currently requiring only 2,000 points. General experience can be used to forcefully perfect the second evolution method of the Eye of Annihilation, or you can enter Simulated Breeding and breed it yourself.]
