Since returning home in June, Russell had finally stayed obediently in his territory for two months. Occasionally, he went to Fluorite Castle for a banquet or shared a meal with his mother and younger sister.
Most of the remaining time was spent in dull, tedious training.
After becoming proficient in Battle Qi Sword Control and Battle Qi Armor Transformation, he began the next stage of training—Phantom Beast Fusion—and worked on developing origin breath spells.
Armored Knights and Great Knights could only be considered at the beginner stage of cultivation.
Only after advancing to Phantom Beast Knight could one truly be said to have mastered Extraordinary Power and stepped through the gates of the extraordinary world.
The endlessly varied methods of combat gave Russell a glimpse of the bizarre splendor of the extraordinary world.
"Compared with Battle Qi Armor Transformation and origin breath armor, Phantom Beast Fusion is more interesting." He could now briefly perform Phantom Beast Fusion with Unicorn Polly. "Unlike the energy form of origin breath armor, the energy form of Phantom Beast Fusion evolves in another direction."
"Yes."
Polly's voice rang in Russell's mind. "When transforming into origin breath armor, I compress and condense the energy form into a suit of armor. When transforming into Phantom Beast Fusion, I disperse, enlarge, and amplify the energy form's original abilities."
The key to Phantom Beasts lay in the word "phantom."
And the essence of that word was the process of changing from flesh and blood into an energy form. The energy form could be compressed or enlarged.
After compression, it became origin breath armor, covering the knight and dramatically increasing the knight's combat strength.
After enlargement, it formed Phantom Beast Fusion, likewise covering the knight. It could assist the knight in battle and grant the knight the Phantom Beast's abilities.
