Free Web NovelChapter 335: Chapter 49: 5-Spirit Colorful Feathers and Reverse Scale
"It’s stable. No problems here."
After getting injured seven or eight times in a row, Su Zhou finally grasped the trick—five new blood vessels had appeared in his body, originating from the Five Spirits Colored Scales and extending to his other major Spiritual Power Organs.
If anyone else had attempted this experiment, those seven or eight injuries would have cost them their lives seven or eight times over. In other words, Su Zhou had basically died seven or eight times. The cost was undeniably steep. Rounding up, he’d probably need to eat a few Peaches of Immortality to make up for the loss.
Ignoring all that nonsense, as the Five Spirits Colored Scales linked to his other Spiritual Power Organs and began to exchange and circulate Spiritual Qi, Su Zhou felt the Spiritual Power throughout his entire body begin to boil. It was as if a fire had been lit inside him, and his power was rapidly activating.
Before, only his chest had glowed, but now, his entire body was swirling with the Five Elements Spiritual Light. The surging Spiritual Power was so immense that it even caused his cross-legged body to lift off the ground and float slightly.
’So that’s how it is. The Five Spirits Colorful Feathers aren’t actually limited to the Five Elements Attribute. It’s just that the Peacock is naturally born with all Five Elements Complete... This Spiritual Power Organ is essentially made for a Transcendent with multiple Attributes to rapidly switch between combat forms!’
’I get it!’
The Five Spirits Colorful Feathers technique was mastered!
At that moment, a brilliant violet-blue fiery light erupted from Su Zhou, illuminating everything within a thirty-meter radius. This light had no heat, but wherever it shone—on sand, stone, soil, or even leaves and blades of grass—layers of Spiritual Power patterns would appear, causing them to glow faintly. They had been enhanced to their absolute limit.
But with a shift of his thoughts, Su Zhou retracted his Spiritual Power. Instantly, all the previously enhanced objects began to disintegrate, like ash after a fire. This explosive Enhancement was like a form of combustion, consuming all the internal energy of these objects. So, once the strengthening power was withdrawn, they turned to dust as if they had been burned to nothing.
This was his Fire Spiritual Power. Just by releasing it, without even attacking, it acted like a massive fiery nova, continuously searing any enemies within its range.
In the next instant, Su Zhou’s thoughts shifted again. The flame vanished, and arcs of cyan-blue electricity erupted. A series of flashing Thunder Light connected the countless metallic sand particles hidden in the dust, causing them to float in mid-air and form a scorching, tight-knit net of lightning. The speed of this switch felt incredibly smooth and effortless, even to Su Zhou himself.
Following that came the Gale.
Su Zhou activated his Gale Armor with the power of Wind Aid, transforming himself into an armored figure enveloped in a tempest. This time, the Gale Armor’s power was significantly amplified. After all, Su Zhou had previously only simulated the Wind Attribute using Wind Aid; he had never truly gathered Wind Attribute Spiritual Power.
But now, he had it. The raging storm grew even more ferocious. A second, spherical, spiraling Wind Shield even formed outside his Whole Body Mist Armor! Although this Wind Shield’s Defense Power wasn’t high, it was more than enough to deflect arrows and bullets.
These were the three Spiritual Attributes Su Zhou used most often. He felt he could also gather Earth, Metal, and Water Spiritual Power, but since he didn’t have any Cultivation Techniques to go with them, he only did a quick test. He gathered Spiritual Power of various lusters and Attributes in his hand, and once he confirmed the effect of the Five Spirits Colored Scales, he stopped experimenting.
’Huh, controlling my Water Attribute Spiritual Power is surprisingly flexible, much smoother than Metal and Earth... Right, I also have Water Assistance!’
Having used Wind Aid less frequently, Su Zhou had almost forgotten he even possessed the Water Assistance Power. He couldn’t help but chuckle. ’At this rate, I might even be able to ask the authorities for a Water Attribute legacy! Then I’d truly be able to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, a True Dragon in the Human World!’
Although, that would make him more and more like a certain Sea King—who, besides talking to fish, can also control typhoons and floods.
At this point, Su Zhou felt his strength had taken another great leap forward.
Although the Five Spirits Colorful Feathers had only been converted into scales to protect his Heart of the Thunder Marsh, their function was truly worthy of being called a Dragon’s Reverse Scale. Not only did it grant Su Zhou the ability to attack with multiple Attributes, but it also allowed him to rapidly gather Spiritual Power from other Attributes to forcibly amplify one of them.
It was just like at the end, when the Peacock Divine Bird gave up controlling the Water, Metal, and Earth elements to directly create an ultra-high-temperature Phoenix Technique of several thousand degrees, forcing Su Zhou to dodge repeatedly. Back then, it had used the Five Spirits Colorful Feathers to amplify its Wood and Fire Attributes.
Furthermore, its existence had also boosted Su Zhou’s Spiritual Power reserves to nearly one thousand cycles!
’The Tier One Extraordinary realm is truly in a completely different league from the Awakening Tier.’
Although the Five Spirits Colorful Feathers didn’t provide much of a boost to his Defense Power, that was hardly a weakness for Su Zhou. He retracted all his Spiritual Power back into his body, sensing the abundant energy within, and couldn’t help but wonder, ’If I successfully cultivate my True Body and my strength doubles, just how powerful will I become?’
No one answered this question, nor did it need an answer.
「Time flew by.」
「October 21, 2015.」
As the Space-Time Passage to the Kunlun Secret Realm stabilized, various facilities were established, and the development of the Secret Realm was put on the right track. The major Academies, the Security Bureau, and other organizations responsible for security began to gradually withdraw.
Meanwhile, the commendation order for Su Zhou’s performance during the exploration had also been issued.
And so, Zhengguo’s first exploration of an ancient Secret Realm, the Kunlun Secret Realm expedition, came to a perfect conclusion.
