Chapter 115 - Chapter 116 The Paper Sword! A Perfect Paper Body Assembly! (Bonus Chapter for Libra the Charlatan)

"Aba aba…"

In the darkness of night, inside a gloomy basement, a bizarre scene unfolded that would probably make an ordinary person turn tail and run.

In the demolition-style basement, under the dim light, ten origami figures, each about half a meter tall, emitted a series of unintelligible sounds.

This is the place where the undead type pets were created by Wood Heart.

Undead-type pets are generally considered taboo by most beast tamers, as they are not suitable for being viewed by others like forest wolves. Therefore, a spacious and huge basement was built along the existing house to serve as an area for undead-type pets.

Su Ping sat on the ground, propping his chin up with his hand, looking at these things with a bit of speechlessness.

These things really left him at a loss.

He now somewhat understands the helplessness and despair Mu Yu felt in that manuscript.

"Aba aba…"

These creatures, which are practically cerebral palsy, are no wonder Mu Yu thinks they don't deserve to be called pets at all.

Su Ping's words were absolutely not an insult, but the truth.

Distinguishing between commands and words is extremely difficult.

This is especially true in situations where a soul contract has not been formed and commands cannot be issued from within the soul contract.

Even the little paper figure standing to the side, looking at these 'kind' who were larger than him, scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

(`_)ゞ

Why do these things that look similar to me seem not very smart?

Unfortunately, although the little paper doll Qianyi is stronger than these low-level origami dolls, it is not an existence like Old Sha.

Lacking the unique abilities of the wolf king, these origami figures showed no obedience to him.

However, there is some good news: at least Su Ping's origami catalog is already active.

Therefore, people have a natural affinity for origami figures. As long as they are not enemies, are not explicitly ordered to do so, and do not actively release hostility, these seemingly silly origami figures have no desire to attack and will even feel close to them.

Su Ping's idea was actually very simple.

As the name suggests, since the racial skills of the origami people described in this Book of Myriad Spirits include paper doll splicing, then I should try to find a way to splice the paper dolls together.

Obviously, this idea is very straightforward, and it's a path that ordinary people would never think of.

This path is a racial skill derived from the original analysis of the Origami Man's diagram in the Book of All Spirits.

Generally speaking, racial skills are skills that pets learn naturally as they grow.

However, if origami figures could truly learn these lessons as they grow, they would probably have been exposed long ago.

Therefore, this skill of piecing together paper bodies must have conditions and thresholds for mastering.

Unfortunately, the first phase of this idea was completely shelved.

Because he cannot command these origami figures to change into whatever he wants them to be.

That's the crux of the problem.

Moreover, in a moment of inspiration, he hadn't yet figured out what form these origami figures should take!

Su Ping looked at the little paper doll Qianyi.

His gaze slowly shifted, landing on the little paper figure's waist.

It was a longsword with a sheath.

Although, because the paper figure is so small, to humans, this thing can at most be considered a dagger.

sword!

Having experienced the Sword King's Secret Realm, he is now extremely familiar with swords.

At the same time, having inherited some of the Sword King's knowledge and insights, Su Ping also developed some ideas about swords.

So, Su Ping stopped Qian Yi, who was still observing the origami figures by circling around three times to the left and three times to the right:

"Qianyi, how was your sword made?"

Swords are forged, with at most a hilt and guard added.

However, when applied to the little paper doll Qianyi, it was indeed created by it.

Even with the enhancement of the Golden Spear Technique, the little paper doll's sword, after being slashed at the wall every day, eventually needs to be replaced, and a new sword made from folded paper will have to be created.

"Whoa! (A swordsman's sword, of course, is formed from the swordsman's life and blood!)"

"..."

Su Ping said solemnly:

"That's the sword in your heart! Where is the sword in your hand?"

Sure enough, after changing the format, the little paper figure finally understood.

It drew the 'sword' from its waist.

Then, the paper sword, which had just been hard and sharp, seemed to soften all at once, and then, a change occurred before Su Ping's eyes.

This wad of paper actually began to slowly weave together.

Instead of starting with the hilt and blade, a solid 'heart' was first formed using sturdy paper. Then, the two pieces of paper slowly merged, and the interlacing point became the spine of the sword.

And extending outwards is the extremely thin, yet incredibly sharp, sword blade and tip beneath the hardened paper.

Finally, there's the sword guard and the hilt.

Su Ping blinked, as if a flash of light had appeared in his mind.

He quickly had Qianyi perform the technique again.

The steps were the same as before, but Su Ping's eyes lit up immediately.

"If a sword were made by piecing together pieces of paper, how many individual parts would need to be made and then assembled?"

A sentence from the trainer's manuscript flashed through Su Ping's mind again!

The souls of these origami figures are all incomplete! They are fragmented!

What makes such a pet animal worthy of being called a pet animal?

Therefore, it is impossible to find any possibility of evolution in a single origami figure. Forced evolution would only result in deformed creatures like armored paper figures!

However, at this moment, the slowly forming miniature paper sword seemed to pierce directly into Su Ping's mind, causing a bright light to suddenly bloom in his heart.

At that moment, goosebumps all over his skin.

A trainer is such a profession!

At any given time, knowledge, experience, and cultivated knowledge may not be as valuable as a clear direction and a flash of inspiration within that correct direction!

Of course, at this moment, for Su Ping, this was no longer just a flash of inspiration!

Instead, it was a sudden burst of inspiration.

The explosion left his mind blank.

It felt as if an electric current shot from my tailbone straight to the top of my head.

This inspiration came from reading Mu Yu's manuscript and, most importantly, the Myriad Spirits Record, specifically the racial skill 'Paper Body Assembly'.

Paper body patchwork! Is it really just a patchwork of bodies?

Is it possible that when the paper body is folded and pieced together, the soul also completes the so-called piecing together process?

In an instant, Su Ping turned his head, his eyes glowing with a green light in the darkness.

And what he was watching were those ten origami figures that were still making "Aba aba" sounds.

Clearly, to get these origami figures to fulfill one's ideas, a crucial step is needed: to make them obey one's commands and transform into the form one desires.

Before you have an idea, it's a very difficult thing, but once you have an idea, you have to force it to change.

Putting everything else aside, let's experiment first and see if our ideas are right or wrong.

Can piecing together paper bodies truly transform origami figures?

So, Su Ping decisively brought out a piece of white paper and an ink brush.

He drew a sword.

There's nothing special about it; it's just an ordinary longsword.

However, soon, apart from the longsword itself, he drew the divisions again.

Here, Su Ping would like to thank the Fengdu Sword King for the inheritance, which enabled him to understand the basics of this thing, even though he originally knew nothing about it.

And then there was the demonstration by the little paper figure.

After two hours, Su Ping put down his paintbrush with satisfaction.

Apart from the longsword that was pieced together to form the whole structure, the rest was divided into three parts by Su Ping.

Sword Heart, or rather, Sword Courage, forms the core of this paper sword, and it was the first thing Qianyi created.

Secondly, there is the blade, the most important part of a sword. Only with a sharp blade can the power of an attack be unleashed to the maximum extent!

Finally, there are the guard and hilt, which are connected to the blade.

This position needs no further explanation.

Su Ping spent two hours drawing the three accessories, naturally making them extremely detailed so that they could be seen from various angles, even including the point where the blade wraps around the hilt and its specific dimensions.

Su Ping meticulously drew out the groove connecting the sword core to the hilt, as well as the blade, guard, and hilt's locking teeth.

He wasn't thinking about the commander-level swords he had seen in the Sword King's Secret Realm.

It has attribute changes and other attribute skills that surpass those of gold-type sword-type pets.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk one step at a time.

The most important thing is to first fold and shape the paper figure.

Once the basic settings are in place, the next step is to find the accessories.

Immediately, Su Ping looked at the origami figures making "Aba Aba" sounds, and his gaze turned hostile.

However, Su Ping did not rush to take coercive measures, but instead looked at the little paper figure:

"Qianyi, can you transform into this form?"

Su Ping pointed to the most crucial element, the sword's core.

The little paper doll scratched its head. It really disliked changing its appearance, even though it was a master of the 'face-changing' skill.

However, he still nodded in agreement to his master's request.

Thus, for the first time in front of Su Ping, the little paper figure changed its form.

The paper covering his body slowly softened, then churned and transformed into a sword hilt that was over forty centimeters long.

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, then looked at one of the paper figures and pulled it over. The paper figure that had witnessed the whole scene was pointed by Su Ping to the little paper figure Qian Yi, which had transformed into the Sword Spirit.

"Aba aba…"

Su Ping pursed his lips. He wasn't someone who advocated violence, but at this moment, he also wanted to give this idiot a good whack on the head.

Isn't it clear what I mean?

Fortunately, this thing's intelligence and self-awareness are indeed not that smart, just as Mu Yu, the trainer, wrote in his diary.

But the basic meaning seems to be clear now.

Its body slowly softened, and then, after three minutes, it was modified by Su Pingxiu into a sword-shaped accessory exactly like the little paper doll.

Luckily, he had the little paper doll Qianyi; otherwise, Su Ping would have really started folding paper airplanes.

"Excellent! Hold on!"

Su Ping thought for a moment and decided to put the changing origami figure aside for the time being, so as not to affect the subsequent changes.

"Qianyi, restore it."

The little paper figure instantly reverted to its original form: "Waaah!"

Then, under Su Ping's command, it transformed back into the shape of a sword hilt.

Following suit, Su Ping then pulled out a paper doll and transformed it into the sword hilt.

Finally, half an hour later, the remaining seven origami figures were still babbling away, while Su Ping held his breath as he watched the three origami figures transform into 'sword spirit', 'sword body', and 'sword hilt' respectively.

Now, the moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived!

Fortunately, the origami figure, even after the transformation was complete, still retained its rigid thinking and lack of self-awareness, and remained motionless and unchanged for quite some time.

Therefore, even after Su Ping picked it up, he did not put up any resistance.

Su Ping first picked up the core of the sword, aimed it at the blade, and slowly pushed it into the slot along the joint.

There was no sound or movement, but the two origami figures seemed to merge into one at this moment.

But clearly, this is not the end!

Su Ping let out a deep breath, while the little paper figure watched intently from the side.

After all, the little paper doll's body still contains the 'Sword Soul Mark', and it is a special life form and consciousness born based on the Holy Spirit-level resource Soul Seed and the Sword Soul Mark.

He possesses an exceptional talent and curiosity for anything related to swords.

Naturally, Su Ping's actions also attracted the little paper doll's full attention.

He watched Su Ping's movements with meticulous attention.

For some reason, the little paper doll felt that what was about to happen would be closely related to it.

At this moment, Su Ping had no time to pay attention to the little paper figure's gaze. He slowly pieced together the paper sword, which included the blade and part of the sword core, from the groove at the bottom, with the origami figure that had transformed into the sword guard and hilt.

'Crack'

The incredibly clear sound seemed to be turning the gears of the world.

Finally, the three origami figures, at this moment, in this way, became one intimately before Su Ping's eyes!

A simple, yet pure white paper sword appeared before Su Ping and the little paper figure.

A hint of longing flickered across the little paper figure's face—a longing so obvious it was almost imperceptible.

(﹃)

Su Ping, however, was still intently watching the changes on the paper sword.

Less than half a minute later, a glimmer of light rose from the paper sword in his line of sight.

The next moment, the meaning of this light appeared in the Eye of Truth!

Su Ping's pupils suddenly contracted, and he casually released an unimaginable burst of joy.

Because that is precisely:

Paper Assembly (Beginner)
