Mingxi wiped Bright Crystal's slightly damp large head, "Excellent."
After the underwater search for Beast Tamers, Bright Crystal's claustrophobia significantly improved, but it was still a bit challenging for it to be confined alone in the narrow, cramped detection cabin.
It was truly excellent that it could overcome its own fear.
"Guwo."
Bright Crystal blinked its big eyes, with an expression that said, 'I was already excellent.' freёweɓnovel.com
Mingxi looked at the eight detection reports in her hand, her heart stirring with excitement.
She didn't look at her own first, but picked up Golden Yuanbao's report.
Looking at Golden Yuanbao's age of 2 years and 3 months, Mingxi sighed, "My Golden Yuanbao is actually still [N O V E L I G H T] a Xiao Zaizi."
Although the mind and age of a Transcendent creature are not closely related, a two-and-a-half-year-old cub is truly still a cub.
And such a cub was not far from evolving to the Emperor rank.
"Positive and Negative Demon King?"
Mingxi quickly turned to the explanation page. It was clear that this new characteristic, 【Positive and Negative Demon King】, was formed by integrating Golden Yuanbao's original 【Demon King Aura】.
It gained two very useful functions: Mirror World and Positive and Negative Demon.
Positive and Negative Demon was the method Golden Yuanbao used to find her with Red Jade in the Tomb complex. This ability was excellent, equivalent to spatial displacement, but it also had the added function of tracking and tracing compared to simple spatial displacement.
Moreover, it could also serve as an anchor point for directional teleportation.
And the Mirror World, besides being a Demon-type energy collection station, also had the function of nurturing and fusing skills.
She understood nurturing, which meant nourishing, with a certain chance of increasing the skill's rank and proficiency.
But,
"Fusion? How does that fusion work?"
The thoughtful intelligent butler Guangguang immediately came online, "It's the skill fusion you're thinking of. You can also understand it as a combined skill.
As a pet beast's strength increases, the skills it masters will become more and more redundant. Considering practicality and the difficulty of improving skill proficiency, some skills have to be abandoned.
This is what is called natural selection, survival of the fittest.
Some Transcendent creatures with high talent will awaken such characteristics to help optimize skills.
This is called valuing refinement over quantity."
Mingxi turned to Golden Yuanbao's skill page, looking at the 32 skills.
Indeed.
Golden Yuanbao rarely used some skills anymore. Even with the Time Realm's bonus, its energy was limited, so it could only choose suitable skills for focused training.
"If skills are fused, can the original skills no longer be used?"
Guangguang, "Theoretically, yes, but fused skills generally possess the characteristics and effects of the original skills, just like the original Thunder God's Wrath becoming the current Wrath of Heaven, which is a type of fusion optimization."
Overall, it was a good thing.
"Then how is proficiency calculated?"
"Unless the skill is extremely special, it's always high-proficiency skills fusing with low-proficiency skills."
This meant that skill fusion was divided into primary and secondary roles, a distinction between the fusion subject and the fusion material, and therefore, there could be more than one skill serving as fusion material!
"This is a Demon-type characteristic, does that mean it can only fuse Demon-type skills?"
"Currently, yes."
Mingxi nodded again. She understood Guangguang's meaning: if 【Positive and Negative Demon King】 continued to evolve in the future, it might even be able to fuse and optimize other attributes.
At this point, Mingxi already had a good grasp of the new characteristic 【Positive and Negative Demon King】.
She looked at Golden Yuanbao, "You try. Use Dark Prison as the main body, and fuse Netherfire."
As a Transcendent creature of the feathered realm, Golden Yuanbao naturally resisted fire. Even though Netherfire was Demon-type, it rarely used it.
So Mingxi decided to test the waters with this skill first.
Golden Yuanbao gave an OK sign with its toe, immediately sinking into its mind to communicate with the Mirror World, and worked on it for a little while.
"Mingye, Mingye?"
Fusion takes time. It should take at least a few days, right?
Xiao Ye's expression wasn't very confident.
Mingxi didn't expect immediate success either, and asked curiously, "Can you still use these two skills during the fusion period?"
Golden Yuanbao decisively shook its head.
Putting skills into the Mirror Space for fusion meant sending the skill's core in. Without the support of the skill core, it certainly couldn't use that skill.
"I understand." Mingxi stroked its increasingly beautiful and shiny feathers, "Then we'll wait a few days."
Besides 【Positive and Negative Demon King】, the characteristic 【Slaughter Corridor】 also integrated the original characteristic 【Burning Blood】.
"This characteristic should be brought about by absorbing the birth and death crystal. Slaughter... birth and death... very powerful! And it's SS- right from the start? It should be related to Golden Yuanbao reaching its level cap and the remaining energy transforming."
Mingxi stroked her chin. It seemed she would need to prepare more blood-replenishing materials and potions in the future.
Always be ready for Golden Yuanbao to shed blood.
Besides these two characteristics, Golden Yuanbao also learned three skills. Divine Demon Lightning and Hell Ripping Slash were learned in the blood pool by comprehending the remnants of divine hatred and heavenly departure.
Divine Demon Lightning goes without saying.
Hell Ripping Slash is also a dual-attribute skill of Demon-type and Lightning-type, Earth-rank. It is not only an offensive skill but can also be used as support.
Because the main function of this skill is to imbue attacks with super defense penetration, it is known as the bane of all Earth-rank and below defense-type skills.
"I'll try later to see if it can break through Red Jade's defense?" Red Jade's Absolute Barrier proficiency was not low either. Could Hell Ripping Slash break that too?
"Mingye."
I dare not ask, but it is my wish.
Mingxi: づ (●⊙(work)⊙●)づ
Did something strange get mixed into Golden Yuanbao's electronic pickles? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Yin He."
Fear not the tiger and wolf sitting before you.
Mingxi: "..."
"Cough cough, alright, then let's continue."
The last skill, Nullify, was learned by Golden Yuanbao after absorbing the Skill Stone given by Zhou Li'an, a one-shot kill.
Nullify, a Demon-type skill without rank. Its effect is simple: skill nullification. As for how much it can nullify, that depends on proficiency.
Nothing much to say.
It's just useful.
"Heaven and Earth Thunder Eye also evolved?"
Golden Yuanbao puffed out its neck, a proud look on its face, as if to say, Xiao Ye is just that excellent.
The final bond skill needs no further explanation; it's the Six-Pointed Star Unity combined skill.
"Luo!"
Seeing that Golden Yuanbao's detection report was finished, Little Silver Flower quickly spoke up, indicating it was her turn!
Mingxi smiled, and tapped her forehead, "Alright."
Because of the birth and death crystal, Little Silver Flower's energy value was already nearly half full right after evolving.
How to describe this speed?
It took off in a flash, faster than if it had Step on the hot wheels !
"Oh? Little Silver Flower, you also awakened a Supreme characteristic!"
"【Supreme · Sacred Aura】, just hearing the name, you know it's powerful!" Mingxi praised without reservation.
This characteristic was clearly also a fusion of the original 【Sacred Mission】 and 【Aura Disruption】 characteristics.
