Chapter 175: Goulong and the Spirit Transferring Art

“Show your only original Mystic Ability. You secretly learned so many of my Mystic Abilities. It’s reasonable for you to repay me!”

After Zhurong finished speaking, Ye Chen heard Goulong refute in dissatisfaction.

“Is that how you beg me?” it questioned. “I’ve never secretly learned your Mystic Abilities. I’ve only developed my own Mystic Abilities according to the effects! In the end, we’re mutated beasts with Spiritual Energy of opposite attributes.”

“Stop, stop, stop!” Ye Chen quickly stopped them. “We don’t have much time. Stop arguing. Doesn’t Zhurong want to learn some Mystic Abilities? You two should go to cultivate and sleep quickly after that!”

This time, he heard the indignant snort of the two Ancient Divine Beasts. These two fellows were clearly old and recognized each other’s strength, but they were like children when they quarreled, which gave him a headache.

“It’s still the same problem. Our Spiritual Energy attributes don’t match, so it’s a little troublesome for you to learn my Mystic Ability.” This time, it was Goulong who spoke first. “I can’t teach you directly. Let’s have someone with both the water and fire attributes to help transfer Spiritual Energy between us.”

To put it bluntly, it wanted a Spiritual Energy filter.

In an instant, the leader of the Feather Dragons and the Kun Peng suddenly fell back quite a distance, especially the leader of the Feather Dragons. It directly stepped out of the door and left Ye Chen in the secret chamber.

Ye Chen looked at the two of them in shock.

“We all have Water and Fire Spiritual Energy and you’re planning to give me the mission?” He asked, “I’m a human and my meridians are much weaker than yours. It’s even difficult for me to read the golden feather directly. Aren’t you shameless to give me this mission?”

“I can’t. I have pitifully little fire attributes. I really can’t transfer cultivation arts.” The leader of the Feather Dragons shook its head repeatedly. “Besides, although both sides are Divine Beasts, one of them has a Beast Spirit Contract with you. Your Spiritual Energy is connected with its, right?”

“You wish. Why don’t you think about the fact that the Spiritual Energy between Goulong and me can’t be connected either?!” Ye Chen mocked and then turned his gaze to the Kun Peng.

“Master, I definitely can’t.” The Kun Peng was also self-righteous. “I can’t make the two body forms of the water and fire attributes appear at the same time, nor can I mobilize Fire Spiritual Energy. I definitely can’t. Look, even Senior Zhurong said that you might have the special constitution of the Titan God. Perhaps you’re really powerful…”

It stepped back as it spoke.

Unlike Ye Chen, to mutated beasts, the suppression of strength would bring about pressure, let alone Ancient Divine Beasts whose strength might be close to the Universe Level.

It wasn’t afraid of Zhurong’s consciousness here mainly because the other party only had a portion of its combat strength and had even borrowed the body of the Immortal Phoenix, so its power had been greatly reduced. However, if it really had to be the Spiritual Energy filter, it would still instinctively feel afraid, considering its strength.

However, as if it was afraid that Ye Chen would think that it abandoned him, the Kun Peng thought for a while and added.

“However, I still think it’s better to let Little White do it. It’s really strong. In comparison, we’re really too weak…” After saying that, he even put up a weak and innocent look, and threw the mission to the leader of the Feather Dragons.

“Don’t call me Little White!” The leader of the Feather Dragons replied angrily, “Besides, I only have a close relationship with Divine Beast Goulong. I don’t feel comfortable staying in the fire array for too long. If I have to communicate Spiritual Energy with Divine Beast Zhurong that is possessing the Immortal Phoenix, my meridians will definitely be burnt!”

Upon hearing this, Monkey, who had been watching the drama for a long time, spoke.

“Since Master can communicate Spiritual Energy with Senior Zhurong, while Little White, you can communicate Spiritual Energy with Senior Goulong, why don’t you two be in charge of Spiritual Energy filtering together?” It asked in doubt, “Little White has already entered a contract with Master. Shouldn’t you be able to communicate your Spiritual Energy with each other as well?”

Ye Chen and the other three Divine Beasts immediately looked at it at the same time.

“It’s feasible,” they said.

According to Monkey’s idea, the Spiritual Energy flow would flow out of Goulong’s body and be cushioned by the leader of the Feather Dragons. After removing the unfamiliar and powerful Spiritual Energy from the human meridians, it would be released to Ye Chen. Then, Ye Chen would convert the attribute of the Spiritual Energy flow from the leader of the Feather Dragons and send it into Zhurong’s body.

Although this process was a little troublesome, it was feasible. It was much safer than letting one mutated beast filter its Spiritual Energy alone.

Moreover, letting Goulong release its Spiritual Energy and allowing the Spiritual Energy to pass through its body without leaking, they wouldn’t have to worry about triggering the trap in the secret chamber.

They got to it right away. After the few Divine Beasts quarreled and mocked each other, they immediately started to teach each other Mystic Abilities.

With Ye Chen’s Level 10,000 defense power, he sat between a group of Divine Beasts with attack power of at least Level 1,000,000 and a stone with the fragment of the Spirit Pool hidden inside, and sighed in his heart.

The Mystic Ability that Goulong wanted to teach Zhurong was called the Spirit Transferring Art by itself. It was a Mystic Ability created based on Earth Spiritual Energy.

Because of the relationship between races, its meridians and other Spiritual Energy attributes were similar to Zhurong’s. Therefore, it was relatively easy for both sides to copy each other’s Mystic Abilities.

The Spirit Transferring Art didn’t seem to be difficult in principle. It just had to mobilize the Earth Spiritual Energy in its body and resonate with the materials of the Earth Spiritual Energy to create a simulated Spirit Pool. Then, it would transfer a portion of its consciousness into it. This way, it could transfer the attacks and restraints on its Spirit Pool and mental strength into this substitute to temporarily ensure that it stayed awake.

The more terrifying thing was that it had another use, to create a simulated Spirit Pool for other mutated beasts, then through the guidance of Spiritual Energy of the same attribute, transfer the spirits of other mutated beasts into the simulated Spirit Pool to perform a substitute attack.

In the end, other than the proficiency in guiding the spirit, the difficulty of this art was in the understanding of the Spirit Pool.

Goulong had once spent a lot of time studying the Spirit Pools of various mutated beasts. For this reason, it could reconstruct the Spirit Pools of most mutated beasts. It could almost attack any water-type or earth-type mutated beast with this. However, Zhurong didn’t have this ability.

This was also the reason why Zhurong needed Goulong’s guidance to learn this Mystic Ability. It wasn’t used to this kind of attack that required too much knowledge as the foundation. Using the Spirit Transferring Art this time was purely an accident.

However, Ye Chen still had concerns.

Zhurong was currently in the Immortal Phoenix’s body and couldn’t use its own abilities at will. He was worried that after using this Mystic Ability to create the disguise Spirit Pool, Zhurong would be forced to shorten its waking time because of the consumption of Spiritual Energy.

As he helped convert the Spiritual Energy flow, he thought about his next strategy.

However, the moment he sent his Spiritual Energy to Zhurong, something unexpected happened.
