Chapter 581: The strength of the Spiritual Saint Girl (II)
Long Haochen chuckled, “Now, now. Stop quarelling now. Lin Xin really lost, but Ying’er, he didn’t use any of his most powerful abilities against you out of fear of wounding you. Otherwise, the menace to you would be for real. Was that summoning spell from before self-created? I haven’t ever heard of such a thing.”
Chen Ying’er proudly replied, “Yes! I have created it personally. It’s inspired by Haoyue’s Essence of Disorder. Although I cannot use such a kind of magic, I’ve been thinking, maybe I can make such magic through summons? I have made a lot of attempts, and finally succeeded. The Earth Dragons from before were a first experimental product, made by using magic crystals. In times of need, I can summon them at anytime, and although the summoning magic requires a rather long time, that’s because these self-created Earth Dragons can evolve over time. Their flaw is a lack of battle instincts, but I can manipulate them like puppets. Just like McDull, they will evolve as my strength increases.”
Chen Ying’er’s explanation may sound simple, but any other that hears her would show great shock. These were six Earth Dragon’s of different elements, made thanks to magic crystals and summoning magic. The difficulty of such a feat is as much as one may well imagine. In other words, Chen Ying’er was not only able to summon but also to create her own beasts.
“I’m the Spiritual Saint Girl, and that’s a personal ability I gained after becoming a god’s chosen one, Spirit Bestowal. As long as I wish for it, I can even bestow a spirit to a stone. However, my number of Spiritual Bestowals is limited. Using it will use up some of my soul force, so I cannot use it excessively. The good thing is that the summoned beasts whose souls are linked with mine will all evolve as my cultivation progresses.”
Listening to her explanation, everyone felt in a daze. Chen Ying’er’s ability as Spiritual Saint Girl may sound a bit complex, but thinking carefully, everyone couldn’t help but feel chills.
She had the power to create magical beasts and bestow on them a potential for evolution. This ability may not sound too flashy at its initial uses, but as Chen Ying’er’s cultivation progresses, her created magical beasts will be bound to become far more powerful. And when she reaches the ninth step, wouldn’t that mean she will have a batch of powerful magical beasts that don’t use up any spiritual energy ready to assist her?
Because these magical beasts were originally created and modeled based on Chen Ying’er’s thoughts, their contract gives her complete control over them, all of which are far beyond compare with ordinary summons. Certainly magical beasts of six different elements capable of using combinatorial magic already exceeds by far the scope of ordinary summoners.
After pondering for a short time, Long Haochen interpreted, “Ying’er, can I understand it like this: that this ability as Spiritual Saint Girl gives you a batch of supplementary contracted beasts?”
Chen Ying’er giggled, “That’s about it. My awakening was a short time ago, so I’m still not proficient with this ability, and can at most control these six magical beasts.”
Long Haochen remarked, “The chanting time for your summon was rather slow. If this issue can be resolved, things will be perfect. Also, what happens if they die? Are you able to resurrect them? And even if they are resurrected, will they still retain their ability of evolution, and not stop evolving?”
Long Haochen’s question hit at the most sensible part. Chen Ying’er’s ability was quite strong, but if it had limitations in these aspects, more preconditions would have to be met in order for it to display the best uses of it in the battlefield.
Chen Ying’er gave it a thought and replied, “The chanting time is no issue. I can find ways to shorten the chant. And these little dragons were only created a bit ago, so the so the contractstill needs to be perfected. As they evolve and the contract grows, the chanting time will steeply decline. And when I become powerful enough, I will be able to summon them just like McDull. But they indeed cannot die, because if they do, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and I can then only restart from scratch. Of course, no matter whether they are created by me or not, all my creatures that have been spirit-bestowed will have their ability influenced by my current state.
In other words, the stronger I get, the stronger my magical beasts linked through Spirit Bestowal will get.”
Long Haochen smiled faintly, “You have to make good efforts then. I believe that this ability should have a great potential for development. It may show even greater uses in the future than now.”
Chen Ying’er responded with some pride, “That’s a matter of course. I’m a useful part of our Bright Glimmers of Hope!”
Long Haochen declared, “Since we are already in these training fields, let’s practice some battle tactics, in order to be ready to be tested by your grandfather tomorrow.” Although everyone in the team held an absolute confidence, and had their mutual understanding raised from their previous experiences, everyone had grown in different aspects in these two years of training. With the addition of Zhang Fangfang that they gained, they needed some practice to perform the greatest display of their strength.
“Yeah!” Chen Ying’er nodded as the proud smile on her face vanished, giving way to a faint trace of grief flashing through her eyes.
