TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Jīngpò (Crystal Soul/Core)

Inside the carriage, with the seats reclined, the few of them sat facing each other. The space was quite ample. For added safety, Xie YunChuan had layered an energy shield around the vehicle, completely isolating it from the outside world.

Gu Tangxi’s first question was, “Where’s Little White?” Xu Yuzhe wasn’t in a convenient position to ask earlier, but they had long noticed that Little White wasn’t with Xie YunChuan and the others.

Xie YunChuan frowned, deep in thought. He found it difficult to answer this question, mainly because he himself didn’t know what was going on.

Luo Shuyou patted his stomach and said in a childish voice, “In tummy.”

Gu Tangyue and Gu Tangxi both wore matching expressions of shock. Gu Tangyue gaped, “No way?”

Gu Tangxi said, heartbroken, “Can’t be?”

The two of them exclaimed in unison, “You guys ate it?!”

What they both thought was that Xie YunChuan wouldn’t really be such a beast, or rather, even if he were such a beast, Shuyou wouldn’t agree, right?!

It wasn’t their fault for thinking so wildly in unison. Xie YunChuan’s grave expression coupled with Luo Shuyou’s blatant statement made it hard not to.

Luo Shuyou waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, “No, no! Didn’t eat…” Xie YunChuan didn’t even know how to explain the situation, let alone Luo Shuyou.

He mumbled and ahhed for a long time without getting anywhere.

Xie YunChuan held Luo Shuyou’s hand, patted his shoulder to reassure him, and said to Gu Tangxi and her, “No, but Little White is indeed inside Shuyou’s body.”

Gu Tangyue: “…, Ah! No, swallowed alive?”

Gu Tangxi: “Isn’t that still eating it?”

Gu Tangyue nodded. Yeah, yeah, what difference could there be?

Xie YunChuan: “Let me put it this way, Little White turned into a burst of white light and went into Shuyou’s body himself. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Gu Tangxi: “Ah!?”

Gu Tangyue: “Ah!?”

This world was becoming more and more magical after all.

Luo Shuyou blindly followed suit, blankly saying, “Ah!”

Xie YunChuan amusedly pinched his cheeks, “Why are you ‘ah-ing’ too, huh?”

Gu Tangyue asked, “Will Little White come out again?”

Xie YunChuan also wanted to ask this question, but who could he ask? Who knew!

Luo Shuyou: “Will, will come out, when… Ball Ball sleeps enough, will come out.”

Gu Tangxi looked puzzled, “Ball Ball? Who’s Ball Ball?” Gu Tangyue shook her head, she didn’t know either.

Xie YunChuan: “His exclusive nickname for Little White.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!”

Luo Shuyou grumbled inwardly, what exclusive nickname for Little White? It was clearly Xie YunChuan and the others who randomly gave his Ball Ball such an ugly name, hmph!

It was good as long as he came back. Not dwelling too much on this matter, the few of them began to discuss other things.

Xie YunChuan showed Gu Tangxi and them the notebook he had gotten from Cheng Xie. Of course, he had destroyed anything inside related to Luo Shuyou, leaving only what they could see.

“Jīngpò? Where would there be any? Are we going to look for them?” Who wouldn’t want to become stronger, especially in the end of the world, where strength represented vitality? Gu Tangxi was very interested in her Fire Spiritual Jīngpò.

The notebook recorded: [Almost every ability corresponding to a natural attribute will give birth to a corresponding Jīngpò. It is born with a spirit, and when the Jīngpò grows to a certain extent, it will also be accompanied by a Guardian Spirit Beast (Companion Beast). For example, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and other abilities.

The Jīngpò is equivalent to the boss of each attribute. Those who possess a Jīngpò can directly absorb the power of the same attribute when attacked by other ability users. Moreover, those who possess a Jīngpò do not have to break through bottlenecks, and the Jīngpò itself can control the energy emission and convergence within the crystal core.

Generally, the Jīngpò will choose an ability user of the same attribute as its host, and the companion beast is also more likely to recognize the attribute user as its master, but it is not inevitable.]

Taking the Ice Spiritual Jīngpò as an example, the Ice Spiritual Jīngpò is equivalent to the ruler of all ice-type ability users. In front of someone who possesses the Ice Spiritual Jīngpò, all other ice-type ability users are underlings.

Gu Tangxi asked Xie YunChuan, “So the bead you got from that river before was the Ice Spiritual Jīngpò?”

Gu Tangyue pondered, “Then Little White?”

Xie YunChuan nodded, affirming Gu Tangxi’s question, and then answered Gu Tangyue, “There’s a Wood Spiritual Jīngpò inside Shuyou’s body. Little White is the companion beast of the Wood Spiritual Jīngpò.”

“Shuyou isn’t a wood-type ability user, right?” If Gu Tangxi’s mind wasn’t playing tricks on her, she remembered that Xie YunChuan was the wood-type ability user.

Xie YunChuan said as a matter of course, “I just gave it to him because Shuyou liked it.”

Gu Tangxi clicked her tongue. Tsk, tsk, this was true love! Giving away something like that just because.

Don’t say it’s because Xie YunChuan didn’t know the important role of the Jīngpò at that time. As long as they were ability users, they would be attracted to the Jīngpò, especially those of the same attribute.

Even if they didn’t know what it was at the time, just like a baby is born and looks for milk to eat, ability users would sense the benefits of that thing.

Gu Tangxi: “Then what about your Ice Spiritual Jīngpò companion beast?”

Xie YunChuan: “……!”

“It seems like it was taken by me before it even fully formed. There probably won’t be one.”

Gu Tangxi regretted, “What a waste.”

Ah, thinking of the fluffy little White Tiger Cub, Gu Tangxi wanted to find the Fire Spiritual Jīngpò even more. If she couldn’t have a cute little zombie, she could have a fluffy little pet! And it could save her life at a critical moment, how great!

Gu Tangxi couldn’t help but wonder what the Fire Spiritual Jīngpò’s companion beast would be. A Fire Phoenix? A Vermillion Bird? It wouldn’t be a turkey, would it?!

Gu Tangyue was a little regretful. There were also many abilities that didn’t have Jīngpòs, such as her space ability. Space ability users themselves were not limited by the size of space, nor did they have to break through bottlenecks. Correspondingly, they didn’t have Jīngpòs.

It wasn’t that Gu Tangyue wanted the special power that the Jīngpò brought, but she also really wanted a fluffy little pet. Which girl could resist fluffiness?

Although she knew that even if there was one, it would be difficult to get, but without one, there was no hope at all, alas!

See if she could snatch one of another attribute when the time came. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t raise it well. When she became strong, she could force love it!

Gu Tangyue clenched her fist secretly, her desire to become stronger even more resolute.
