Elemental Cube, Bi Fang, Ying Yu

Level: 37

Reward Settlement: Obtained 1,500 Free Allocation Years!

Free Allocation Years: 1,500 years

Cross-dressing Schedule: 10/10 (Completed)

Schedule Task completed. Retrieving reward...

Reward obtained: Elemental Cube (Talent Ability)

Elemental Cube: Produces different transformations depending on the element infused. Can attack and defend!

Cube Schedule: 0/10

Hint: Complete Schedule Tasks to obtain mysterious rewards!

The sudden prompt made Li Yu snap his eyes open.

He casually distributed the 1,500 years evenly among his three Soul Rings before turning his attention to the Elemental Cube.

Like Elemental Gift and Elemental Dissolution, the Elemental Cube was a Talent Ability.

The difference was—

Elemental Gift granted a fixed 200% boost to all elemental damage.

In other words, it was a permanent passive ability.

Elemental Dissolution allowed him to merge into any element. It was a lifesaving skill usable once a month, and its cost was merely seven days of weakness.

Both abilities were immensely powerful.

But the Elemental Cube he had just obtained was more like a template that allowed him to create whatever he wanted!

Whether the creation leaned toward offense or defense depended entirely on the elemental power he infused into it!

At that thought, Li Yu's eyes gradually lit up.

Originally, he had been worried that although his Elemental Sprite martial soul could control all kinds of elements, its Soul Skills did not come with corresponding techniques.

That meant that, while his martial soul was powerful—

Whether he could truly bring out that power depended on him investing a great deal of effort into research and creation.

That had put quite a bit of pressure on him.

But now, the reward from the Cross-dressing Schedule had directly given him a template he could freely develop.

With that, his previous troubles vanished in an instant.

With a thought, Li Yu raised his right hand.

A transparent cube condensed in his palm.

The cube had six sides and sharply defined edges. Its interior was murky, though he could vaguely make out something resembling a vortex within.

Li Yu leaned closer and studied it for a while, but still could not make sense of it.

So he simply gave up.

He then began cautiously infusing it with Soul Power.

Yet there was no reaction at all.

Li Yu paused in surprise before suddenly understanding.

Although he could control multiple elemental powers, his Soul Power was still like that of an ordinary Soul Master, possessing no attribute of its own.

It could only be converted after being released outside his body.

Perhaps because of the Elemental Sprite's uniqueness, however, the conversion time was negligible. It took no more than a thought.

With that in mind—

Li Yu once again poured Soul Power into the Elemental Cube.

This time, however, the moment his Soul Power left his body, it turned crimson!

The temperature radiating from it far surpassed that of the Soul Power of ordinary fire-type martial soul masters!

This was the most direct manifestation of Elemental Gift's 200% elemental damage enhancement.

The crimson Soul Power entered the Elemental Cube and sank into the faintly visible vortex within.

In an instant, the vortex turned crimson as well.

Then—

The entire Elemental Cube turned crimson.

Patterns gradually spread across the crimson cube. They seemed to glow from within, and as the light grew dazzling, the cube split apart and reassembled!

In the end, the six-sided cube transformed directly into a Fire Bird covered in blazing flames, streaked here and there with white markings. It had the body of a crane and stood on one leg.

Li Yu was greatly intrigued and held it before his eyes for a closer look.

"Cry!"

After letting out a call, the Fire Bird affectionately pecked Li Yu on the nose with its beak. Then it flapped its wings and circled through the cramped cave, brimming with excitement.

Li Yu stared at the scene in shock, temporarily at a loss for words.

Who could have imagined that simply infusing a single fire element would allow the Elemental Cube to create such a lifelike Fire Bird?

Moreover, the Fire Bird seemed to possess a life of its own and even acted affectionately toward Li Yu.

Just then—

Cube Schedule: 1/10

The flashing prompt brought Li Yu slightly back to his senses.

He then realized that this so-called Cube Schedule had already completed one task!

He had originally thought that, like the Cross-dressing Schedule, the Cube Schedule would require ten days to complete.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

He had merely infused the cube with a single fire element, producing the Fire Bird's transformation, and one Cube Schedule task had been completed.

In that case—

Li Yu's thoughts stirred, and with a raise of his hand, another identical transparent cube appeared in his palm.

He immediately infused it with Soul Power again.

This time, however, the Soul Power turned sky-blue after leaving his body.

The moment that sky-blue Soul Power emerged, the air itself grew a little more humid. This was likewise something ordinary water-attribute Soul Masters found difficult to achieve.

After the water-attribute Soul Power entered it, the Elemental Cube began undergoing the exact same transformation as the previous fire-element cube.

A moment later—

The splitting and reassembling water-attribute cube transformed into a strange fish with wings!

"Yuu yuu!"

Its body was jade-blue, with two wings growing from its sides, and its cry sounded like that of mandarin ducks!

Li Yu was stunned by the sound, then recalled some myths and legends from his previous life.

Those characteristics were exactly the same as the description of Ying Yu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas Beast.

And the Fire Bird from before matched Bi Fang's characteristics perfectly as well!

What the hell!

An utterly ordinary Elemental Cube had somehow produced two Classic of Mountains and Seas Beasts?

Starting with one cube, could he synthesize every Classic of Mountains and Seas Beast?

Li Yu grumbled inwardly.

But grumbling aside, he was still extremely excited.

As Classic of Mountains and Seas Beasts, Bi Fang and Ying Yu were certainly not weak.

How could he not be excited after gaining such tremendous help?

Pop!

At that moment, Ying Yu spat out a mouthful of water, forming a bubble that wrapped around its body.

The bubble then floated along with it as it began swimming through the air.

Cube Schedule: 2/10

The system prompt arrived right on cue.

"Is this Schedule Task really that easy?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow.

This task had already completed two objectives in only a few moments. It was absurdly easy.

Wait—

Li Yu suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Only two-tenths of the task had been completed so far.

There were still eight objectives left before it was finished!

In other words, eight more beings like Bi Fang and Ying Yu had to appear.

But he currently only controlled three kinds of elements!

If he wanted to complete it, that meant he would have to fuse elements!

Elemental fusion—

Anyone who had read Dou Dou Cang Qiong knew how difficult that was.

Li Yu's heart immediately tightened.

Just then, Dugu Bo's startled voice suddenly rang out:

"W-What is this?"
