At Grand Narukami Shrine, Jiang Xiaofeng comforted Yae Miko with a bitter expression.
" My Miko, it's fine for you to communicate with others like that, but you'd better find out more about them before you do. If you encounter something like this again, there won't be anyone to revive you... Oh right, don't you remember?"
"Alright, little fox, your Kitsune Saiguu sister has been resurrected, how can life be without hope? Get up quickly, or I'll take action."
Kitsune Saiguu hugged the pink fox tightly, pouting, "Can't you stop scaring the Miko?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.
"I'm not good at comforting girls, especially those I've physically assaulted..."
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to comfort Yae Miko.
After all, his treatment of Yae Miko was intended to curb Yae Miko arrogance and prevent her from speaking to everyone with a provocative tone.
Unexpectedly, the attack was too forceful, and the Yae Miko's defenses were completely breached.
Left with no other option, Jiang Xiaofeng had to go back in time.
However, Jiang Xiaofeng soon discovered that if the Punishment for Yae Miko was too lenient, Yae Miko would still provoke him again after the event...
Jiang Xiaofeng had no choice but to maintain this state. The Yae Miko neither spoke to him like that nor was he completely terrified by Jiang Xiaofeng.
Oh, so it was Kitsune Saiguu that made Jiang Xiaofeng do this.
After all, since Kitsune Saiguu had offered herself up voluntarily, Jiang Xiaofeng should listen to some of what she said.
Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng could agree to petting the fox casually, but anything more outrageous was unacceptable; he would have to offer a sufficiently tempting reward.
Kitsune Saiguu held up the pink fox. " My Miko, you've gained quite a bit of weight over the years..."
The pink fox-faced man turned his head away, avoiding looking into Kitsune Saiguu's eyes.
Mikoshi Chiyo leaned against the bedside, slowly eating a string of Tricolor Dango.
Hanasato sat in a chair, holding a teacup, sipping the fragrant tea slowly.
Seeing the three of them enjoying themselves, Jiang Xiaofeng stood up.
" Chiyo, wouldn't you like to go see your junior?"
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng asked Mikoshi Chiyo.
Mikoshi Chiyo hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go by myself, so I won't trouble you."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and left.
Here at the Pyro Hypostasis, Osial spewed water bullets, extinguishing the outer shell of the Pyro Hypostasis time and time again.
Osial had lost count of how many times he had extinguished the shell of the Pyro Hypostasis.
It's ridiculous. I've seen other Elemental Hypostases save themselves in emergencies by trying to save their cores, but the Pyro Hypostasis is different. It seems to disregard the safety of its core and only does so to attack.
Even the act of "revival" is intended to restore a high-intensity attack state.
Ever since Osial discovered three days ago that the Pyro Hypostasis's resurrection cycle was a full day, Jiang Xiaofeng has been locked in a battle with the Pyro Hypostasis's second resurrection. He extinguishes the Pyro Hypostasis's outer shell by spraying water, and when the Pyro Hypostasis tries to reignite, he spits water to extinguish the shell that is about to reignite.
The Pyro Hypostasis at an increasingly rapid pace, and the attacks launched at Osial's head became increasingly fierce.
The Pyro Hypostasis seemed to have no regard for its own life, its entire outer shell bursting into flames as it slammed into Osial's head and began to spin wildly.
They didn't even care that the ocean was beneath Osial; their only thought was to attack Osial.
Just as Osial's patience was about to run out, the Pyro Hypostasis self-destructed.
Osial was badly injured by the explosion and spat out a mouthful of water, soaking the entire field.
Then, Osial stirred up a huge wave!
"Aren't you usually so rowdy?"
"Let's see what other trouble you can cause!"
The giant wave crashed directly onto the fiercely burning Pyro Hypostasis.
After a while, the outer shell of the Pyro Hypostasis extinguished, and it immediately entered a state of revival.
Osial stared wide-eyed as the Pyro Hypostasis rapidly reignited, and immediately began to curse.
"Is it that the Ley Line power is erupting too violently, or is there something wrong with this Pyro Hypostasis?!"
"Clearly, something's wrong with this Pyro Hypostasis."
Jiang Xiaofeng's voice fell from the sky.
Osial's eyes lit up.
"My king! You've finally arrived!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, watching as the Pyro Hypostasis, which had successfully reignited, transformed into several flame butterflies that rushed towards him. With a wave of his hand, the Void Power enveloped the Pyro Hypostasis and began to erode it.
Regardless of what this Pyro Hypostasis was all about, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't intend to get involved.
No matter how strong you are, can you surpass my Void Power?
The Pyro Hypostasis continued its stubborn resistance, spewing forth flames only to be sealed off by the Void Power.
Soon, the Pyro Hypostasis vanished completely.
Jiang Xiaofeng took out the outer shell of the Pyro Hypostasis and examined it closely.
"Hmm... nothing special, it just seems like the energy is really off."
The Void Power emerged, devouring the outer shell of the Pyro Hypostasis and turning it into dust. It was then collected together with the outer shells of other Elemental Hypostases that had been gathered together. The goal was to find an opportunity to refine them together using the Void Power and see if they could develop more attack methods.
At this point, apart from the Dendro Hypostasis, Jiang Xiaofeng had acquired all the Hypostasis Life forms of the other six elements.
The core of the Pyro Hypostasis that Jiang Xiaofeng had swallowed was discovered by the other five cores. The Geo core was the first to greet them, "Another companion has arrived."
"Welcome, new companion! What element are you from?"
"How would you feel if that guy swallowed you? If not, don't think about it too much. Just absorb the surrounding energy; it's very nourishing."
The five elemental cores maintained a delicate balance, slowly rotating within Jiang Xiaofeng's body.
However, the core of the Pyro Hypostasis said nothing.
No, it should be said that the Pyro Hypostasis cannot speak at all.
It roared and absorbed the surrounding Void Power, attempting to reignite!
"This guy's really restless!"
The Geo core was the first to detect the anomaly, and two inert outer shells flew out, taking control of the Pyro Hypostasis core.
The Hydro Hypostasis and the Anemo Hypostasis shed their outer shells; the Anemo Hypostasis released a wind field to seal it off, and the Hydro Hypostasis directly extinguished the Pyro Hypostasis that was trying to reignite.
"Stop fooling around. Once you absorb this power, you'll understand why we didn't try to resist."
The Electro core said lazily.
At the same time, the Electro core summoned its own outer shell.
The Cryo core beside it also silently released its outer shell.
The five elemental shells directly blocked Pyro Hypostasis rekindling, Pyro Hypostasis dragging it into their ranks.
Soon, the Energy Gathering Ring gained another core.
"Good."
Jiang Xiaofeng felt the power of the elements within his body and nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't particularly interested in the Dendro Hypostasis.
However, lack of interest does not mean that Jiang Xiaofeng cannot absorb it.
Unfortunately, when Jiang Xiaofeng transmigrated, the only Elemental Hypostases missing was the Dendro Hypostasis. Hopefully, the Dendro Hypostasis will appear in Sumeru.
Jiang Xiaofeng speculated that the Dendro Hypostasis would appear in the desert region of Sumeru, the legendary land of Nation of Grass.
After all, only Dendro life forms that tenaciously survive in the desert are more reasonable and more precious.
However, it is clearly not the time to consider the Dendro Hypostasis yet.
Jiang Xiaofeng asked Osial, "How have you been lately?"
Have you gone back to your old home for a visit?
Osial shook his head silently.
Why go back when your own people are no longer in your country? For nostalgia?
This will probably only make him more determined to fight Morax to the death.
