Accidentally Invented a New Attack Method

Chapter 6: Accidentally Invented a New Attack Method

After rambling about all sorts of things, Ye Qing finally understood the origins of these super Spirit Beasts who called themselves Ferocious Beasts. One hundred thousand years was both the age of a Spirit Beast and the measure of its cultivation. Without a fortunate opportunity—such as finding suitable Heavenly Treasures to consume and increase its cultivation—a Spirit Beast's strength would slowly grow over time until it eventually reached the hundred-thousand-year realm.

If they could find a suitable source of energy like Di Tian and the others, their strength would continue to grow through cultivation. The price, however, was that they would face a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years of cultivation.

They could either choose Shape Transformation and become human, or peacefully await death after another thousand years. According to Di Tian, he had never seen a Spirit Beast that had transformed into a human reach level one hundred and become a god.

By the time Di Tian had finished explaining the common knowledge, Bi Ji had also finished treating him. He had just endured his eight-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation, then fought Ye Qing. Though neither had gone all out, the battle had still worsened Di Tian's injuries. The Soul-Shocking Roar in particular had dealt its full damage.

So after the battle ended, Bi Ji began treating him. With the Emerald Swan's talent and the energy source Ye Qing provided, Di Tian's injuries quickly recovered.

Di Tian flapped his wings, and a series of crackling explosions sounded from his joints.

"I slept for so long. I didn't expect to feel this good the moment I woke up. Since you don't want to go to the Core Area, then forget it. Still, there are some things you should know. Come on, let's go take a look."

"I won't be going. Di Tian, take Ye Qing yourself. There are still many injured Spirit Beasts that need healing." As she spoke, Bi Ji transformed into her Emerald Swan true form and flew toward the area where the Heavenly Tribulation had struck.

Di Tian watched Bi Ji fly away. Treating him had always consumed a great deal of her Soul Power, but this time, the energy Ye Qing had casually supplied kept Bi Ji nearly at her peak the entire time. What did that mean? If a great battle came in the future, even if Ye Qing possessed no combat strength at all, as long as he and Bi Ji stayed together, the Spirit Beast army would effectively have an inexhaustible engine capable of maintaining its combat power. Not to mention, Ye Qing's fighting strength seemed no weaker than his own. Only after Bi Ji vanished from sight did Di Tian continue.

"You're very strong. Since you have a special method for preserving that energy, that's even better. But if the need arises in the future, I hope you can contribute some of it."

Di Tian had absorbed around one-tenth of the energy that had spilled out at the time. He believed Ye Qing's storage method could hold, at most, half of what he had absorbed. If he knew Ye Qing possessed a full seventy percent—he still would not have had any ideas. Even the Dragon God had failed back then; Di Tian naturally could not compare to the Dragon God. For now, Di Tian only wished to strengthen the Spirit Beast race and consider ruling the human realm later. To him, all Spirit Beasts were allies, which was why he had told Ye Qing so much.

"No problem. Just ask if you need it." To Ye Qing, this energy was rather useless. He had an eternal Life growth supply, so he had no need for it at all. No matter how much energy he required for breakthroughs, it could provide it. Other than making him feel comfortable, this energy had few other uses. Using it to earn goodwill was not a bad deal.

Moreover, although this energy could speed up his cultivation, Di Tian had just explained the situation of this world. Ever since the Dragon God fell, there had no longer been a place for Spirit Beasts in the God Realm.

Ye Qing had also asked the system. Before he inherited all of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou's cultivation memories, he was no match for the God Realm. So he decided to let his cultivation advance steadily with time, at least until a mission was triggered and unlocked his memories.

Combined with Di Tian's race, Ye Qing realized that this was the so-called Beast God. Based on his previous memories, this man's individual combat strength was considered the ceiling of the Douluo Human Realm, so Ye Qing gladly accepted Di Tian's proposal.

Di Tian was delighted to see this. Although he called himself the Beast God, not everyone obeyed him. The Evil Eye Tyrant ruled over another continent, and Di Tian held little authority in the Northland or the sea. Even Xiong Jun among his subordinates coveted his position. Bi Ji's combat strength was too weak, leaving him unable to get away from many matters.

Now that Ye Qing was here, although Ye Qing was not his subordinate, they were both Spirit Beasts, and their relationship was currently quite friendly.

Furthermore, Ye Qing was not mindlessly violent like Xiong Jun, who constantly coveted the Beast God's position. He was even quite clever. If Ye Qing could join him, Di Tian even planned to hand Star Dou Great Forest over to Ye Qing and go to Sun Moon Continent to settle old scores with the Evil Eye Tyrant.

As the two beasts walked and talked, they gradually reached an underground area. Within an underground cavern, a massive silkworm was sealed away.

"This is..."

"He calls himself the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Don't be fooled by his cultivation being close to a million years. His actual combat strength probably can't even beat Bi Ji."

"No one knows what kind of luck he had to reach such cultivation. Before this, we had all been absorbing the energy he emitted. It can't compare to yours, but it's still good stuff. The higher one's cultivation age, the closer their territory is to this place. Want to try it? If you're interested, you can still establish a territory in the Core Area."

"No. I'm not interested."

The system had just tested it. According to the system, taking out a little energy every day and using it as aromatherapy would have roughly the same effect as this.

"More importantly, how do you transform into human form?"

"Oh? You don't know? Spirit Beasts with two hundred thousand years of cultivation should have mastered this. It seems your cultivation speed has been a little too fast. First do this, then that. Circulate and compress your Soul Power like this, and then you're done."

As he spoke, Di Tian extended his left arm and demonstrated the transformation from a dragon claw into a human hand.

"Don't worry about the details," Ye Qing said casually.

"First this, then that, circulate and compress the Soul Power." Ye Qing followed Di Tian's instructions step by step. Once he finished, an attack resembling a Cero shot out from his hand.

Looking at the rock layer overhead that had been blasted through, Di Tian turned toward Ye Qing.

"How did you do that?"

"You taught me. First this, then that, circulate and compress the Soul Power like this." As he spoke, Ye Qing tried again. This time, he reduced the amount of Soul Power released, and several faster but clearly weaker Soul Power projectiles shot out.

"..."

"It seems you can't use this method of Shape Transformation. But you've created a new method of attack. Releasing compressed Soul Power can actually produce such an effect. Unbelievable."

Watching Di Tian begin experimenting with the attack method, Ye Qing helplessly asked the system.

"How about you solve this problem for me?"

"Please wait, Host. Once you trigger a mission, Shape Transformation will be effortless." Meanwhile, Di Tian grew increasingly excited. This novel attack method had opened the door to a new world for him.

"It only requires an infusion of Soul Power. Attack-type Spirit Beasts will be even stronger. This way, Bi Ji and the others will have a means to fight back in the future. Ye Qing, you invented these moves, so give them names. You don't mind if this attack method spreads, do you?"

"Whatever. A name? Let's call them Soul Flash and Bala." Ye Qing was still saddened by his failure to transform, so he answered absentmindedly.

"Void? Why not call it Soul Flash?"

"Soul Flash is fine, but don't you think Soul Bala has a serious problem? Put those words together and it sounds too much like 'bastard.' As for why, let it commemorate my lost youth."

"Let's compromise. Soul Flash and Bala."

"Fine... we'll go with that."

From that day onward, Spirit Beasts had a new attack method: Soul Flash and Bala.
