"Hey, can't you be a little smaller?" Kraken's voice came through the dark sea water, with a hint of obvious impatience. He was sneaking towards the mainland in a gray-robed human form at a speed that seemed slow but was actually thousands of miles away.
Next to him, a giant turtle that had shrunk to the size of a house, with a dark blue body and mysterious lines on its shell, was paddling its stubby limbs hard, trying to keep up with his speed. It was Black Water Turtle "Yo-Yo".
Although efforts have been made to shrink it, the house-sized body is still eye-catching in the deep sea, especially near the continental shelf and areas where Sea Soul Beast and human Soul Master activities may increase. It is difficult for such a combination not to attract attention.
Yo-Yo Hearing this, the huge turtle's face showed an extremely humane expression of sorrow, mixed with grievance and hard work, and the mental fluctuations were accompanied by gasping. "Old, boss... I really can't change... This, this is already my compressed Soul Power is at its limit... No matter how small it is, I will use all my cultivation to maintain my body shape. I won't be able to walk on the road, let alone be a mount for you, boss... Bah, I will be a follower..." It almost let it slip, and quickly changed its words.
Kraken glanced at it, its ice-blue eyes shimmering in the deep sea. Indeed, Hundred-Thousand-Year Black Water Turtle, who is good at defense and strength, but not dexterity,, it is already difficult to reduce the main body to the limit and still maintain a certain degree of mobility and combat effectiveness. But it is really inconvenient to take such a conspicuous big guy to the mainland, especially in a sensitive period when drastic changes are about to occur and all forces are bound to be highly tense.
"Trouble." Kraken whispered and stopped. He was suspended in the deep sea, his gray robe swaying slightly with the current, and his eyes fell on Yo-Yo's turtle face full of "effort" expression.
Yo-Yo was so frightened by the sight of Kraken that he forgot to move his limbs. The huge body slowly sank a little. It quickly started to flutter again and asked cautiously, "Boss, boss? Want to No... I, I'll find a deep sea trench to hide first? Will you come back and pick me up after watching the excitement?" It was eager to do this. Going to the mainland to see the "continent collides with the mainland" sounded like a turtle to death, and how could it be as comfortable and safe as its deep-sea home.
"Hide?" Kraken glanced at it with a half-smile, "Since I brought you out, I will naturally be of use to you. The size problem... is not impossible."
Yo-Yo felt a slight thump in his heart and had an ominous premonition.
Kraken flicked his finger, and a faint blue beam of light, which seemed to be composed of countless fine runes and spiritual imprints, instantly sank into Yo-Yo's huge eyebrows.
"Huh?" Yo-Yo's huge body froze, and it felt a huge and mysterious flow of information forcefully pouring into its sea of consciousness. It was a set of complex and exquisite methods that seemed to point directly to some kind of Origin change!
Although its intelligence is not as good as those of the top Ferocious Beast, Hundred-Thousand-Year's cultivation is not in vain. It instantly understood the core function of this method - free transformation of forms!
You can freely switch between the body and a form that is closer to a "human", and you can control the details of the converted form to a certain extent! Moreover, this method seems to have a special affinity and optimization for this deep Sea Turtle Douluo type Soul Beast?
"This, this is..." Yo-Yo was shocked.
"The method of free transformation." Kraken's voice was calm and calm, "Follow this, Transformation, and become human, or at least close to human form and easy to move. Don't tell me that your Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation level can't even learn this thing."
"Transformation?!" Yo-Yo's voice suddenly rose in pitch, full of panic, and his huge tortoise eyes widened, "Boss, boss! I don't want it! I don't want to rebuild it!!"
It obviously misunderstood! In its understanding, Soul Beast "Transformation" often means giving up a long lifespan and a powerful body and starting from scratch. This is a path that only a desperate or ambitious Soul Beast will choose! It is a home turtle, and it just wants to live in peace and stability until the end of the world, but it doesn't want to suffer that sin!
"Rebuild it?" Kraken was stunned for a moment, then understood, and looked at the stupid turtle in front of him speechlessly, who was scaring himself, "Who asked you to rebuild it? Are all the seaweeds in your mind?"
He explained patiently, "This is not the traditional 'Transformation' that abandons the original body and rebuilds into a human being. This is the improved 'Free Transformation Secret Art'. You don't need to abandon the original body, you don't need to experience the human form Heavenly Tribulation, and you don't need to rebuild.
This just gives you an extra external form to facilitate movement and concealment. Your Origin, cultivation level, and lifespan are all the same as before, and you can change back to your true form at any time. It is equivalent to... giving you a 'skin' to facilitate movement."
"Ah? This, is it like this?" Yo-Yo was doubtful, and carefully perceived the set of methods in the sea of consciousness. It seems... as if... it is really different from the legendary "Transformation Reconstruction"? It focuses more on "Simulation" and "control", and the core is still the body-based?
"Hurry up, don't delay." Kraken urged, "Operate Soul Power according to the method, guide the life field, and condense the form. The first time may be slower, but after you become proficient, just move your mind."
Yo-Yo didn't look like he was joking when he saw the boss, and the method looked really magical, not like harming a turtle. It struggled for a moment, but finally did not dare to disobey Kraken, and was even more afraid of being left here or... It was thrown to the mainland as a ball. It was heartbroken, closed its huge turtle eyes, and began to carefully mobilize the majestic Soul Power and life breath in its body according to the Secret Art in its mind.
A faint blue light lit up from the huge body of Yo-Yo, and the mysterious lines on the carapace seemed to come to life, and began to flow and reorganize. Its body slowly shrank and deformed in the light. The process was not painful, but it had a natural feeling that came naturally, as if this set of Secret Art coincided with some potential possibility of its own life form.
The light lasted for about the time of a stick of incense, and then gradually converged.
When the light dissipated, what appeared in front of Kraken was no longer the dark blue giant turtle the size of a house.
But... a bald man about two meters tall, with a body as big as a small city wall, muscles so strong that they almost burst the simple blue cloth that he had transformed into, with dark and rough skin, a simple and honest face with a bit of a turtle look, and a bald head, with only a few traces of small dark blue scales remaining on the back of his head.
Yo-Yo raised his big hand like a cattail leaf and looked at it blankly, then looked down at his thick legs, moved his neck and arms awkwardly, and showed an unbelievable look on his face.
"I, have I really become... like this?" His voice was still loud, but it was much clearer than in the turtle form, but it had a thick nasal sound, as if he had a cold:
"Boss, where's my shell? Where's my tail? How do I walk like this?" He tried to take a step, but because he was not used to his legs being upright and this unfamiliar center of gravity, he stumbled and almost fell in the sea water. He made a few funny strokes with his hands and feet before he stabilized himself, causing a splash.
Kraken looked at the naive and uncomfortable turtle man in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Although he had long expected that with Yo-Yo's lazy temperament and mediocre understanding, Transformation will not come out as a handsome and unrestrained person, but this image... is a bit too "upright". However, at least the goal has been achieved - the body size has shrunk from the size of a house to about two meters. Although it is still conspicuous, at least it is not that exaggerated, and it is easier to blend into the crowd.
"The shell and tail are still there, but they were condensed after changing form. You can partially reveal it when you need it, or change back to the main body." Kraken explained briefly, and then pointed to his legs, "You will get used to it if you use it more. Keep up, and don't fall behind. From now on, you will use this appearance, and your name... will also be called Yo-Yo."
