Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Expectation of Soul Beast Soul Fusion
"What? You said you want to soul fuse with the soul beast during your apprenticeship? Brother, I am not your eldest brother, you are my eldest brother! How about you be the captain of our team and I can be his deputy?
Got it!"
When Byrne heard Hero's thoughts, he subconsciously squirted out the wine he had just taken a sip of.
It's only been three years? Have you decided on your future direction? Have you found your favorite soul beast?
Most magicians only begin to fuse with the souls of soul beasts after they break through the ranks.
On the one hand, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation during the apprenticeship period to determine the future path; on the other hand, the qualitative transformation of the soul at the moment of breakthrough can ensure that one's soul has enough strength to resist the instinctive struggle of the soul beast's soul during fusion.
But why does Holo?
Hero stood there, looking at the peaceful moonlight outside the window, his soul energy surging in his body.
The meditation method stimulated by [Exponential Explosion], under the amplification of the full moon, produces very terrifying effects.
He has become accustomed to doing this when nothing happens in the tower, relying on this operation to squeeze out the soul energy in exchange for breaking through the upper limit.
"Yes, I got a soul beast egg by chance before. Judging from the strength of its mother's soul...it is quite suitable for me, and it has also been hatched recently."
"Then you don't have to be so anxious. Even my old man hasn't found a suitable soul beast for me yet... No, that's not what I mean. I mean it's too early, and the soul beast you choose won't be
...That iron ant egg you picked out last time, right?"
The key words mentioned by Holo were obviously misunderstood by Byrne. In previous conversations, Holo revealed no family background to him.
The secret nature of the soul circuit will definitely not be known to the mentor, so it will not be the guidance of his mentor.
That means it was Holo's own decision.
Naturally, the only soul beast he could think of was the soul beast egg bred by the queen ant.
He admitted that when he was selling iron ant eggs before, Hero's unique vision could distinguish every living egg.
But even if the one he picked out was the next queen ant, what's the use?
The iron ant soul beast group itself is not easy to cultivate.
Coupled with the various spiritual skills that Holo has shown in the past.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of help the iron ants could bring to Hero, to make up for his shortcomings or expand his advantages? Could it be that he wanted to use the wealth created by engineering to cultivate an iron ant colony and play riot soldier style?
Unrealistic.
The strength of the iron ant group itself is not high, and the upper limit of its growth is also very low. Even a ten-year apprentice can handle it easily, let alone a ranked magician.
A level magician who has completed the qualitative transformation of his soul and learned the soul skill of range attack can destroy even hundreds of thousands of iron ant colonies like mowing grass if he has enough soul energy.
"It's not iron ant eggs. The soul beast eggs I got by chance before entering the tower are more suitable for me in every aspect."
"Ouch, it's okay if it's not an iron ant."
Every magician has his own secret. Byrne just sighed. What he heard from Hero after the assessment mission was incredible. Now that he expressed this idea again, it only allowed him to take a moment.
I was shocked for a while.
Maybe there were some factors that made Hero make his decision.
'Is it the reward in the golden key? The soul beast egg rewarded by the golden key. He couldn't explain the reason why he found it? Or is it related to the soul weapon? By the way, I just got the necessary parts before I decided...
'
Byrne's unbridled thinking made him feel that he had discovered a blind spot.
"By the way, the last time Ms. Palin handed out golden keys..."
But just when he thought of the key point, he turned around and found that Holo had disappeared.
…
After returning to the dormitory, Hero slowly walked towards the container containing the octopus cubs.
Placed in the most conspicuous place in the room, there is a half-person tall crystal poke. The surface of the crystal is so crystal clear that it is almost transparent, and you can vaguely see the eggs floating in the black water.
Hero specially found the old man and bought it through his special channels. For this purpose, he also spent three cubic meters of the heart of a thousand-year-old tree.
This kind of translucent crystal is rare in the bottom market. Its function can isolate most of the soul energy from escaping. The customer group of the bottom market has no need in this regard.
However, it is an experimental material often used by level magicians.
Its characteristics allow the soul beast eggs placed inside to well absorb the nutrients accumulated by the owner in cultivating them.
Otherwise, to cultivate the soul beast, you have to start from the balls.
Able to discover and arrange nutritional materials suitable for the soul beast to absorb in the egg stage in advance.
Not only can it speed up the birth of the soul beast, but it can also strengthen the soul strength of the soul beast to a certain extent.
Of course, different materials or sudden situations during the process will cause the hatched soul beast cubs to be different or even mutate.
For this reason, there is a special organization in the tower to do this kind of thing.
Through a large number of experiments, mutated soul beasts are obtained.
This kind of operation that goes against the natural nature of the soul beast's own soul has always had a very low success rate.
Therefore, most of them are aimed at soul beast races with low soul strength. On the one hand, the cost is controllable. Once a mutated soul beast is obtained, it can be sold in exchange for a large amount of resources.
On the other hand, due to the rules of the world, most of the soul beast races with low soul strength are large in number and can support their experimental data.
After all, what leads to success is what is most sought after.
After a few days of crazy absorption of black water, the egg has obviously reached a saturated level, and the absorption rate has also dropped a lot.
After adding some black water, Hero took the opportunity to feel the activity inside the egg.
"The activity has been strengthened again! It's only been a few days!"
The total activity of natural growth in three years is not as much as the black water injected in these few days.
In fact, before, he was still a little confused about whether to merge with Octopus's soul.
Although its mother is a powerful deep-sea soul beast, as her child, she will definitely not be much weaker, and may even inherit some of her authority.
Just like the situation with Yuphiel.
The authority you possess is not complete authority, but even if it is incomplete, it can still play a huge role.
Originally, all this had to be known after the octopus cub was born, and Hero could decide.
But when Hero discovered that black water could increase its activity, everything changed.
Black water is an ability that can adapt to distortion and even chaos after advancement.
It will definitely accompany the career of a Helo magician for a long, long time.
Even if the octopus cub is born and his soul circuit and system are not too compatible.
The two can also be connected together through black water.
Furthermore, both black water and octopus cubs are related to the deep sea.
As long as one of them takes advantage of the characteristics of the deep sea, it can restrain most soul magicians.
Instead of spending a lot of time and energy in the future looking for an illusory soul beast that is more suitable for him, it is better to cultivate octopus babies as soon as possible.
