Chapter 208 The Fire Thief - The Ancestor of the Elemental Fox
"Okay, the general introduction is complete, and we can start the experiment."
Zhou Qing clapped his hands, allowing Bu Yi to come back to his senses.
"what should I do?"
Bu Yi became nervous.
After all, Romantina's martial soul actually has such ability. Maybe it can really help her find the reason why her martial soul cannot connect with herself, and then solve the problem of her cultivation speed decreasing sharply after breaking through to the Soul Master level.
In this case, how could she not be excited?
"Relax and enter a meditative state. Romantina will then link our spiritual consciousnesses and use her spiritual detection skills to detect your consciousness and martial spirit, and present the relevant information in our minds. But you must be careful not to resist at all. After all, human spirits are relatively sensitive. The slightest rejection of the thought may prevent me from sharing the specific situation between you and your martial spirit with Romantina."
Zhou Qing instructed.
"I have to trust you absolutely, right?" Bu Yi frowned slightly, not sure if he could do that.
Even though she asked Zhou Qing to call her "Sister Yi", she has been in the spirit master world for many years and has seen some young and mature spirit masters.
Six-year-old Zhou Qing...
He is indeed much younger than those teenagers.
But precisely because of this, Bu Yi was actually more wary of Zhou Qing. This smart guy was a little smart, and it was difficult to tell his true thoughts through his immature appearance.
"Yes, this is our only chance to determine the true condition of your martial spirit. Otherwise, you will have to find a Title Douluo to check it for you later. And it is very likely that only a Title Douluo of the Spiritual Element has that ability."
This is not an exaggeration.
Although the Titled Douluo can sense and control mental power, if the martial soul is not of the spiritual system, it would be difficult to detect the communication between a person's consciousness and martial soul.
Romantina——
Naturally, I don't have that ability.
But who made it possible for the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to temporarily reside in her upper dantian?
"I'll try my best." Bu Yi crossed his legs, sat on the chair, and fell into a state of cultivation.
Zhou Qing placed his hand on Bu Yi's forehead, and after making sure that her soul power had started to circulate and her breathing had stabilized, he said to Romantina, "It's your turn, Brother Tianmeng."
"Hehe, brother has to do it!" Tian Meng immediately climbed onto Romantina's body, put his hands on his hips, and possessed his brain with martial spirit, and a white soul ring emerged.
Mental detection!
Spiritual sharing!
The two skills were activated at the same time, causing Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu's consciousness to flicker. They saw Bu Yi's illusory spirit body floating in a chaotic space. In front of her, there was an elemental fire fox with orange fur, golden beard on its neck and head, and a tail that was burning like a flame.
And on its surface, there is a layer of red flame covering it, making the image of the elemental fire fox slightly blurry and unclear.
Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu did not enter Buyi's spiritual world through the Yintang point between his eyebrows. It was just that under the effect of the spirit-sharing skill of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the information detected in Buyi's spiritual sea was presented to Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu's spirits.
During this process, even if Bu Yi resisted, it didn't matter, after all, the spiritual power of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was far beyond hers.
"Can it be enlarged?" Xiao Wu asked the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which was standing beside her in its original form.
"It's a piece of cake!" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rubbed its short legs together, making a sound similar to snapping fingers. The image of the elemental fire fox martial spirit enlarged in front of Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu.
But the layer of fire covering the martial soul still prevented them from seeing the martial soul's fundamental image.
"Brother Tianmeng, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know what is going on?" Zhou Qing frowned and felt that he needed to get some inspiration from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
"Brother is a soul beast, not a martial soul. How can I know what human martial souls are like?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm blinked his golden little eyes.
"As for soul beasts like elemental foxes, what kind of changes will they generally undergo after they have completely transformed?"
The elemental fox, martial soul, and soul beast are all related. Zhou Qing feels that he can analyze from the side why this kind of martial soul would have a gap with the soul master itself after completing the transformation.
"The biggest change is the appearance and attributes. However, there is one funny thing, hahaha. After the elemental fox completes the transformation in the millennium stage, it cannot control the elemental abilities it possesses all at once. It may even hurt itself."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed as he spoke, "Moreover, the wisdom of the elemental fox after it has completed its transformation seems to have regressed to the period of a ten-year soul beast. Generally speaking, an elemental fox that has just completed its transformation needs to be cared for by an elemental fox that has already completed its transformation and has grown for a hundred years, so that it can grow up more steadily."
"Ah? Wisdom can regress?" Xiao Wu was shocked.
"What's the reason?" Zhou Qing was stunned. He felt that this was more like his first guess: after the transformation, the elemental fox martial soul re-entered the "gestation period", but since the martial soul had awakened, the martial soul itself could no longer return to the place where he guessed the martial soul was bred - the Soul Palace.
Therefore, after Buyi's elemental fox martial soul transformed into an elemental fire fox, it became difficult for it to grow.
After all, it came out of the "Soul Palace" before its gestation was completed. We should be thankful that it can be used. Why do we need it to continue growing?
Capitalists will not let a fetus still in the womb work!
"The reason? Who knows? Perhaps it was the price their ancestors paid for refining the blood of the silver dragon."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't know the specific reason, but continued, "However, although the wisdom of the elemental fox regressed after the transformation, the time it takes to improve its wisdom again is much shorter than that of ordinary soul beasts... Although I have never seen an elemental fox that is more than ten thousand years old, the wisdom of a five thousand year old elemental fox is comparable to that of an ordinary fifty thousand year old soul beast, similar to a fifteen or sixteen year old human boy."
"I estimate that if an elemental fox can reach the level of ten thousand years of cultivation, its wisdom may be comparable to that of a hundred thousand year soul beast, but it will not be able to speak human language."
"This is what humans say: if you lose something, you gain something."
Zhou Qing is now more than 90% certain that when the elemental fox, as a human's martial soul, completed its transformation at the third soul ring, it had re-entered the "gestation period".
Beast martial spirits definitely have the same talents and connections as real soul beasts!
The ancestor of the elemental fox secretly stored and refined the blood of the silver dragon, perhaps stealing the authority of one of the wisdoms!
In the so-called transformation process, obtaining the corresponding elemental talents is only superficial. The real key lies in that through this transformation, the elemental fox race has completed its rebirth, giving them the potential to possess intelligence close to that of normal humans earlier than other soul beasts!
What kind of soul beast at the ten thousand year level has the intelligence comparable to that of an adult human?
Such as the pure-blooded dragon clan and phoenix clan!
A auspicious beast like the three-eyed golden lion that is blessed with good fortune!
Can other super soul beasts, even the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, possess intelligence no different from that of humans at the ten thousand year level?
At most, it's close.
However, the ancestors of the elemental foxes, relying on their own strength, have enabled their own race to possess the potential for wisdom comparable to that of super soul beasts, or even pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes, or auspicious beasts!
It is because the growth process of soul beasts is too slow, coupled with various uncertainties in the natural environment, that up to now, no elemental fox has reached the ten thousand year level.
At least, humans have not yet discovered the ten-thousand-year-old elemental fox.
However, the ancestor of the elemental fox is comparable to Prometheus, the fire thief in Greek mythology that Zhou Qing had learned about in his previous life!
