Chapter 148 Black Swan
Snap!
There was another crisp sound that was too subtle to be heard.
The spiritual essence dissipated again and fell into Ji Jue's hands. His palms had begun to tremble. He was breathing heavily due to excessive exertion and maintaining stability because he had been holding his breath for too long.
This time he was a little more successful than before, just a little bit more. He encountered it, and then he crushed the spirituality he had created.
And after trying three, four, five or six times, the best result was just that I seemed to have mastered this fragile spirit.
Then, the remaining candle in the wind was completely extinguished with Ji Jue's movements.
"Teacher, is this really possible?"
In the midst of severe dizziness, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh.
In the basic theory of modern alchemy, the world is composed of matter and spirit.
Ascension and ruin are entangled, soul and matter are combined, and the original Holy Spirit is born. This is the oldest good, and the two are in no particular order.
Giving spirit to matter is the true meaning of alchemy.
But at this moment, what Ji Jue wants is to give spirit to matter, and then completely extract spirit from matter. Let alone the close connection and fit between matter and spirit, let alone whether Ji Jue's level can
Reaching, this is different from completely extracting a person's soul from the body... Oh, wait!
The moment he realized what he was doing, Ji Jue was shocked and his expression couldn't stop twitching.
Indeed, if one uses dissociation to disintegrate the matrix, break the protection, use alchemy to shackles blessings, avoid interference, and then use non-attack ectoplasm to operate...theoretically, it is indeed possible to pull out the opponent's soul.
But what about actually?
He swallowed dryly and couldn't help but stooped a little, "Can it really be done?"
"Want to try it?"
Professor Ye was eager to try, and raised his hand slightly, "Are you interested in experiencing it yourself? I haven't done this for a long time, I'm afraid I'm a bit unwieldy."
Ji Jue shook his head crazily without thinking.
Afraid of being slow, Professor Ye gave a weird laugh, "I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time," and then struck a cruel blow.
It's not that he doesn't trust Professor Ye, but as an apprentice craftsman who is making great strides on this road, Ji Jue really doesn't have any trust in the quality of the craftsmen.
Those who can dig a hole and bury someone after using their ashes after killing them are already considered benefactors among craftsmen. You can only imagine how outrageous the quality level of other craftsmen is.
But then, I heard Professor Ye sigh with regret.
"Don't worry."
She said, "I can't do it."
Although she specializes in ectoplasmology, her expertise is not in operation.
The effect of Moye is only splitting and repelling, and it cannot extract a person's soul from the body without completely preserving the soul structure.
But that doesn't mean no one can do it.
In fact, some of the upgrade abilities are more effective in manipulating souls. If they are more vicious, it is not impossible to pull them out and eat them raw. It is not a problem to chop them into pieces, cut them into slices, and then cut them into shreds...
For masters who specialize in ectoplasm, this kind of precision surgery only requires a little effort and is not a problem.
It is also completely possible for Fei Gong's nearly omnipotent spiritual quality operation.
Even, for today's Ji Jue, it is possible!
This possibility is even so high as to be ‘inevitable’.
"Even if you can't extract other souls, what about the consciousness and spiritual quality you created?"
Professor Ye reminded, "The biggest difficulty in spiritual stripping is to suppress the resistance of the spiritual instinct. Even in a coma, a complete spirituality will instinctively resist modifications.
And if spirituality actively cooperates, you should be able to do it even at your current stage."
Ji Jue was slightly startled.
If the scope is limited to the spirituality created by one's own mechanical deity, then the value of this skill will be further reduced... No!
He finally realized it.
It has not been reduced. It should be said that after repeatedly making concessions in terms of scope and effect, at this stage, this kind of skill is perfect for Ji Jue!
If you can freely detach and release the spirituality you have given, it means that creations that are originally limited by materials and cannot improve their abilities can more conveniently "vacate the cage and change the bird."
The spirit of the Thunder-type lever rifle can also be transferred to a more convenient carrier.
No, what if it is not transferred?
What if it stays directly in your own soul?!
Imagine that there is no need to practice or exercise. You only need to give the object spiritual intelligence, detach it, and contain it in your own soul. You can instantly transform into a marksman with perfect shots within three kilometers.
The swordsman who is invincible within a single step, the boxer who can defeat the enemy within a short distance...
This is a technique that can directly change the ability of deus ex machina!
But the premise is that you must be able to do it yourself...
Just thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel high-spirited, his eyes were as bright as a hundred-watt light bulb, and he was shining brightly in the workshop!
Then, I heard Professor Ye’s words.
"Whenever you can freely extract and transfer the creation intelligence of the deus ex machina, you will be able to get started with ectoplasmic manipulation."
Professor Ye said slowly: "Next, you can try the course of alchemical composition purely using spiritual essence."
【?】
Ji Jue was sluggish again:???
Meow meow meow?
Teacher, do you want to see what you are talking about?
Just extracting the complete spirituality composed of mechanical deity is already difficult for Ji Jue. However, without a carrier, the alchemical formation is purely based on spiritual essence and finally a creation that can survive independently...
This is no longer a fantasy that can be described.
"Are you serious, teacher?"
Professor Ye did not answer, but just walked ahead, heading deeper into the workshop, casually waving for him to follow.
Amidst the transformation and flipping of the corridor, another huge and suffocating workshop appeared in front of Ji Jue again. It was not that he had never been here before, but every time he came here, he could have a new understanding.
Know.
Every time, I can feel more and more the terrifying changes that fill every inch of the air and the torrent of spiritual matter that is like stars running under the material...
But this time, what was on the operating table was no longer an unfinished work or some strange creation.
But one...
Pink diamond-encrusted cat bag?!
Ji Jue rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that he had read it correctly. He had even figured out that this broken bag was the one that Chen Yubo and Tong Hua rushed to order before!
Under the cat bag, there was a small silhouette that was constantly squirming and struggling, and finally squeezed out a round head from the mouth of the bag.
He looked at Ji Jue and opened his mouth.
Suddenly there was a 'meow' sound!
"Afu?"
Ji Jue subconsciously stretched out his hand, rubbed its little head, lifted it up, looked at it carefully, and confirmed again and again that this was Chen Yubo's cat, and he even fed Can Can!
"Why are you here?"
Ah Fu's claws popped out and he clung to Ji Jue's collar, refusing to let go. He meowed in grievance, with tears in his eyes.
"It was delivered this morning, but Chen Xingzhou's brother was so anxious that he called Ah Chun every hour to ask for his cat, which made him terribly annoyed.
It just so happens that when you go back today, you can take him there so that he won't have to come to the workshop and yell."
Professor Ye waved his hand in disgust, and the cat hair floating in the air instantly shrank into a ball and was thrown back into the bag to ensure it was spotless.
Immediately afterwards, a smile seemed to appear in the cold and indifferent expression that Ji Jue had long been accustomed to.
"Speaking of which, don't you want to see an alchemical creation made of pure spiritual matter?"
So, at that moment, Ji Jue saw it.
In his hands, the blue cat that was struggling to escape suddenly froze for a moment.
In the silence, it seemed as if some shackles had been opened.
And under the illumination of the light, in Ji Jue's hands, Ah Fu's shadow suddenly expanded, like inflating, expanding crazily. Thousands of shadows continued to squirm and spread, forming various changing outlines.
In the end, as the lights were extinguished one by one, the dark shadow completely broke away from Ah Fu's shadow, and then enveloped the entire workshop, turning into a terrifying wing-like silhouette that seemed to block out the sky and the sun.
In this way, he spread his wings lightly, revealing a terrifying appearance that was difficult to penetrate with the naked eye.
Ji Jue stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to move. Even the cat in his hand didn't dare to move or struggle anymore, and was trembling uncontrollably.
No sound can be heard, no shape can be seen.
But in the invisible air, something seemed to lower its eyes, taking a leisurely look at the tiny existence in front of it. It came closer and took a closer look.
Just staring is enough to make Ji Jue sweat.
Not to mention the terrifying spiritual fluctuations that were felt like huge waves.
There is something there, right in front of your eyes!
Grinning ferociously.
He breathed out a breath that made his soul tremble.
Until the crisp sound of snapping fingers sounded, from Professor Ye's fingertips.
The huge shadow that enveloped the entire workshop shrank again, merged into Professor Ye's shadow, and disappeared.
Ji Jue was left standing there, already sweating profusely and unable to control himself.
"Teacher, what... is that?"
"It can be regarded as the first work I created after becoming a master. It was probably completed when I was twenty-seven years old."
Professor Ye flicked his fingers and played a game with the eager monster in the shadow. When his fingers popped out, the shadow seemed to knock on its forehead, making it tamely curl up and return to its position.
“At that time, I was so eager for fame and fortune that I cared too much about other people’s opinions and evaluations. If I had some achievements, I couldn’t wait to show them in front of others. I thought that as long as I had enough achievements, it would be enough to make the incompetent see each other.
The gap... now seems to be really shallow and naive.
After being registered in the association, it was considered to have received a heavenly rating. After a long time, this series of creations were passed down from generation to generation, and they were called the ‘Omen Sequence’.
Among them, its code name is called [Black Swan]."
Along with her words, the black swan in the shadow spread its wings as if proudly, as if dancing gracefully, vigorous and gorgeous.
Just like any sudden and unexpected disaster.
Thrilling.
Ji Jue almost forgot to breathe.
In the silence, he suddenly heard Professor Ye's question: "Ji Jue, can you create something like this one day?"
"have no idea."
Ji Jue shook his head instinctively.
The future was too far away for him to see and dare not determine.
But Professor Ye seemed not to have heard it and asked again: "One day, can you create a work better than this?"
Ji Jue was silent. After thinking for a long time, he sighed in shame.
"I have no idea."
After a slight pause, in this brief silence, he suddenly felt a courage that came from nowhere. No, it would be more appropriate to call it arrogance.
I don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth, just like a clown.
But he couldn't restrain himself and wanted to speak out.
He said, "I want to try it."
"..."
For a moment, Professor Ye seemed to be distracted and remained silent for a long time.
It was as if the scene from thirty years ago suddenly reappeared.
When the teacher asked this question at that time, he seemed to have answered in the same way... No, there was no need to beautify it. Unlike Ji Jue, who was used to being reserved, with his arrogant appearance at that time, he should have been more arrogant and unbridled, right?
But what did the teacher think at the time?
For so many years, Ye Xian had no way of knowing, but now when he heard his student's answer, he couldn't help but feel happy.
It's like a refreshing wind blowing from the distance during a long journey.
The road to ember is too bumpy and too far.
Spend your whole life with no end in sight.
It almost seemed like an eternity.
Whenever I see those chasing figures behind me, I feel more happy and expectant... Is the teacher back then the same as myself now?
It's a pity that no matter how hard I try, I can't be a kind-hearted elder who is good at praising and encouraging. Besides, the idea of wanting to be compared with the teacher came up so early...
Such a stupid student really needs a good beating!
"With you now, it's still early."
In the long-lost happiness, Ye Xian poured two buckets of cold water on it without hesitation, "Let's wait until we get the craftsman's license to talk about such exaggerated sleep talk."
Just like that, she put her hands behind her back with a smile, turned around and left.
Only the last words were left, echoing in the air.
"However, the fighting spirit is commendable..."
Chapter completed!
