Chapter 117: Success in Creating a New Skill
‘Finally succeeded!’
Inside the stone house, Yi Chen let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Despite the continuous expansion of the four armies and the bonus talents he gained from the Strongest Talent System, which had risen to twice his normal abilities, it still took him nearly three months to finally produce the energy circulation pathways for the new skill.
This time was just one month shorter than the time it took to research and test the energy circulation pathways for the Method of All Laws.
The reason for this was that the pathway of energy circulation had particularly strange requirements.
It had to allow spirit power infused with divine consciousness to be preserved and controlled for a long time, while also having a certain level of penetration ability.
There were too many characteristics to consider.
The difficulty was comparable to creating the energy circulation pathways for the Method of All Laws.
Fortunately, he finally got it done.
Yi Chen’s gaze turned to the Little Gold Ball, who was sleeping soundly beside him.
A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes.
After so much time together, he had grown accustomed to the presence of the Little Gold Ball.
It would be impossible to say he felt no emotional attachment at all.
Honestly, he did not want to use special methods to control the life and death of the Little Gold Ball.
He also believed that the Little Gold Ball would never develop any rebellious thoughts against him.
After all, his spirit power was the source of energy for the Little Gold Ball.
Without him, the Little Gold Ball would completely lose the qualification to continue growing.
But this hesitation was only brief.
Reason conquered emotion.
He liked to control everything, as that allowed him to focus wholeheartedly on improving his strength and creating new skills, pursuing the utmost limits he could achieve.
The Little Gold Ball followed him every day, making it the biggest uncontrollable factor.
Of course, expecting to control the Little Gold Ball with the new skill at this stage was impossible.
The main function of the new skill, for now, was merely to control the life and death of fierce beasts.
As the Little Gold Ball had the ability to revive, the threat of death to it was nearly zero.
Only with future continuous improvements to the new skill could he truly control the Little Gold Ball.
“Wake up!”
Yi Chen poked the Little Gold Ball’s inflated belly with his finger.
Squeak…
Seeing Yi Chen, the Little Gold Ball jumped up excitedly.
Yi Chen waved his hand.
A gust of wind carried a fierce beast crystal from the animal skin bag into his hand.
“Let’s see if I can get the crystal out!”
He pointed to the Little Gold Ball’s belly and shook the fierce beast crystal in his hand.
The Little Gold Ball immediately felt disappointed.
It thought Yi Chen was going out.
But that was clearly not the case.
However, it didn’t think much of it.
Following Yi Chen’s request, it tried to bring out the fierce beast crystal from within its body.
Soon, a crystal the size of a green bean, constantly changing colors, floated out from the Little Gold Ball’s throat.
“Your crystal is quite strange!”
Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.
The crystals that Bai Ruo Xin collected were of various colors.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple—there were all kinds.
According to Yi Chen’s research on fierce beast crystals, this happened because the fierce beasts, after absorbing spirit energy, slowly transformed it into energy unique to themselves, just like his Chaos Technique.
Because of different characteristics of the fierce beasts, the colors of the crystals varied.
The Little Gold Ball’s greatest feature was its ability to revive, and according to Yi Chen’s expectations, the color of the crystal should represent the life-giving green.
Even if it wasn’t green, it should definitely be gold.
This was because the Little Gold Ball’s main attack method was to turn its golden fur into needles to attack enemies.
Fierce beasts with this kind of physical attack generally had golden crystals.
As a result, the Little Gold Ball’s crystal was unexpectedly a mix of various changing colors, which made no sense at all.
Yi Chen didn’t delve deeper.
The crystals collected by Bai Ruo Xin were all from fierce beasts below level twenty.
After nearly a month of studying the crystals, he understood their texture and characteristics fairly well, but he still had only a basic understanding of the types of crystals.
He only knew that the stronger the fierce beast, the more refined and powerful the energy contained within the crystal.
If a crystal leaves its beast, it would cause the fierce beast to die quickly.
Although higher-level beasts could sustain longer and the Little Gold Ball had the ability to revive, Yi Chen still didn’t waste time.
Spirit power flowed into the nail of his right thumb, and he gently scraped it across his index finger.
A drop of blood seeped out from the wound.
He then channeled his skills, infusing his divine consciousness and spirit power into the blood.
The drop fell onto the crystal.
The blood, carrying the penetration ability of his spirit power, quickly seeped into the crystal.
Faintly, Yi Chen sensed a subtle, unclear connection between himself and the divine consciousness within the crystal.
This matched Yi Chen’s expectations.
According to Yi Chen’s deduction, as his divine consciousness grew stronger, he would be able to connect not only with the divine consciousness in blood but also with living beings that had undergone the Blood Pledge of Dominance through that blood.
“Put it back!”
Yi Chen instructed.
Cheep cheep…
The Little Gold Ball confusedly stuffed the crystal back into its mouth.
Its little head couldn’t understand what Yi Chen was doing at all.
It was just as lazy as its master.
Too lazy to think.
“Let’s go! I’ll take you out to play!”
Seeing the Little Gold Ball splay its limbs and lie back down on the wooden bed, Yi Chen called out.
Although the Little Gold Ball had the ability to revive and was the perfect target for testing the new skill, Yi Chen had no intention of doing that.
He was prepared to head outside and find a few fierce beasts to test instead.
The Little Gold Ball was overjoyed and sprang up from the bed.
The laziness and fatigue on its body instantly disappeared.
It became full of energy and vigor.
Cheep?
It seemed to think of something.
The Little Gold Ball stared at Yi Chen with its small green bean eyes, looking doubtful.
“I just forgot about you last time!”
Yi Chen explained irritably and got up to open the door.
The Little Gold Ball happily hurried to follow.
…
The viewers in the live room quickly became active as Yi Chen finished testing the pathway of energy circulation.
“Poor Little Gold Ball, it’s been over three months waiting for Yi Chen’s explanation.”
“From the look of it, Yi Chen must have successfully created a new skill.”
“He has already tested it on the Little Gold Ball, so it is definitely a successful new skill. This new skill is likely a technique to control fierce beasts.”
“Otherwise, Yi Chen’s attitude toward the Little Gold Ball wouldn’t have changed so suddenly. It must be because he chose not to trust the Little Gold Ball and used special means to control it, leaving him feeling somewhat guilty.”
“Moreover, according to the scanner, that drop of blood contains the spirit power formed from the new skill.”
“That drop of blood likely resembles a weakened version of a control zone, functioning like a timed bomb to destroy the fierce beast’s crystal.”
“It should also have a function similar to the control zone, sending electric currents to punish the fierce beasts. Otherwise, controlling the life and death of the Little Gold Ball, which has an immortal body, would be pointless.”
“Only by controlling the pain of the Little Gold Ball can Yi Chen ensure it loses its fighting ability after a rebellion.”
Someone analyzed confidently:
“However, the new skill, unlike the control zone, cannot remotely monitor the general state of the fierce beasts, nor can it send simple commands remotely through electric shocks or sounds after training.”
“Nevertheless, this new skill should definitely be useful on the exile planet, allowing one to manage the life and death of fierce beasts, addressing the greatest risk the Flame Mountain Tribe currently faces.”
“No matter what, I just hope Yi Chen can finish testing the new skill soon and teach us the new ability.”
As soon as this was said, it resonated with everyone, elevating the tension in the room.
“Yeah! After waiting so long, we finally reached this new time point.”
“God bless, once Yi Chen finishes testing the new skill, he should send someone to summon the Spirit Consciousness stage first-level clansmen of the four armies back.”
“By convention, that should be the case. Right now is indeed the period Yi Chen likely has time after completing a new skill.”
“Forget convention; I’m worried!”
As Yi Chen stepped outside, everyone’s feelings in the live room became extremely complex.
On one hand, they hoped for wish fulfillment; on the other, they feared Yi Chen might surprise them, forcing themselves not to overthink.
Soon, this complex emotion spread throughout the galaxy.
Everyone felt anxious, trying hard to suppress their excitement and anticipation, waiting nervously.
As for the new skill, no one paid it any mind.
In normal times, praises would flood in, and flattery would pour out.
But at this moment, when Yi Chen was likely to teach the new skill, no one was in the mood to care about it.
To everyone, this new skill was of great use to the people of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
But for the federal citizens, who already had control and had conquered all fierce beasts in the galaxy, it was of little significance.
