The birth of the light sphere directly caused a phenomenon.
Su Ming had no way to conceal it at the moment.
The range of elemental power attracted by the light sphere was simply too vast, encompassing the entire Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
The Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda was located in the city center, and the stadium was not far away. Therefore, as a local of Tianhai, Su Ming didn't need to stay in a hotel. He would return to the Spirit Transmission Pagoda after completing each day's competition.
While Su Ming couldn't cover up The phenomenon, Zhang Tianyang could.
He immediately sealed off the news and concealed the source of this phenomenon—Su Ming and the light sphere. This way, even Spirit Masters near the Pagoda who weren't part of it wouldn't know the origin of this phenomenon.
Inside the cultivation room.
Su Ming watched the scene before him, both shocked and puzzled.
The gathered streams of elemental power cooperated with each other, building a set of steps. The light sphere stood at the top of these steps, as if looking down upon the various elements.
Su Ming had three Spirit Skills in total. The first Spirit Skill, born from the combination of the light sphere's time attribute and his own physique, was Borrowing Power—borrowing strength from the past through the river of time.
The second Spirit Skill was Elemental Storm. It could condense an elemental vortex above his head, usable for both offense and defense. It simultaneously increased the power of the elements Su Ming controlled by one hundred percent and stirred the elemental power within a certain area, forming an elemental storm. The elemental power in this area would rotate with the vortex, condensing into elemental blades that attacked enemies within range.
The third Spirit Skill was Elemental Harmony. As the name suggested, it could harmonize conflicts between elements, making them coexist peacefully. The higher the degree of harmony, the more intense the conflict would be after withdrawing this Spirit Skill.
These three Spirit Skills were all very powerful and came from the same Spirit Soul. This was extremely rare on the continent.
Su Ming naturally assumed this was due to his own high talent.
Now it seemed it wasn't just his own talent; the light sphere also contributed to the creation of these powerful Spirit Skills.
As for the light sphere itself possessing these Spirit Skills?
Su Ming could only say, "Heh."
The light sphere's innate ability was blank. It was originally a spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, captured mid-gestation, then artificially nurtured into a semi-finished artificial Spirit Soul and absorbed by Su Ming. Without spirit beast bloodlines and without the final gift from completing its natural gestation, the light sphere was essentially a blank slate. Apart from its talent with elements, it had nothing else.
Therefore, these three Spirit Skills could indeed be said to come from the talents of two talent freaks.
"Such high talent. I wonder what the source is."
Even if nurtured by heaven and earth, there must be a trigger. For example, the Ice Snow Maiden, condensed from pure ice elemental power, exists due to the environment of the Extreme North. But why could a light sphere with six elements plus space and time talents be nurtured in the East Sea region?
As for the light sphere's current position of looking down upon the various elements, it was probably related to the massive amount of Faith Power it had absorbed over the past year.
Actually, artificial nurturing wasn't necessarily a bad thing for the light sphere.
With talents for six elements plus space and time, natural gestation by heaven and earth would absolutely be impossible to complete, especially in its original nurturing environment.
Su Ming shook the thoughts from his head and focused on watching the light sphere's孵化 (hatching) process.
During this process, he saw the six elements intertwining, seemingly outlining the form of a new life body.
Six elements plus space, interweaving into seven colors, finally transforming into intense white light that contracted along with the vast Faith Power.
Finally, after the white light completely withdrew, a caterpillar, pure white like jade, appeared. On its body were faint golden patterns. On its forehead was a six-element mark shaped like blooming petals. In the center of this six-element petal mark was a silver dot—the mark of the space element.
"You really are a worm?"
Su Ming blurted out.
He had been wondering what form so many attributes would take. Some inherent impression made him think the light sphere's post-hatching form would be a caterpillar.
"Wasn't it influenced by you?" The caterpillar spoke, with a hint of complaint. "It must be your impression that caused my body to take this form."
Su Ming wasn't having any of that.
"This blame-shifting, I won't take it." Not only did he not take the blame, but he also looked for someone else to pin it on. "Let me tell you, if we really trace it back, you taking this form must be related to Tianmian Ice Silkworm."
The caterpillar slowly condensed a question mark above its head using elemental power.
What does he have to do with it?
Su Ming slapped his forehead, remembering that in the current historical timeline of Douluo 2, he was the founder of the Spirit Soul system, and the Star Tree was the first Spirit Soul.
However, in the most original version, Tianmian Ice Silkworm was the first Spirit Soul.
Whatever, versions change. Anyway, the source is Tianmian Ice Silkworm's Intelligent Spirit Ring.
"Just know it has nothing to do with me. Blame the Spirit Soul Faith Power for setting you into this form." Su Ming waved his hand, putting a final end to the discussion.
Just blame Tianmian Ice Silkworm!
"Speaking of which, this form is quite cute."
Su Ming stepped forward, picked up his Spirit Soul from the elemental steps, and couldn't help but knead it.
"Feels pretty good too."
The light sphere (now caterpillar) hummed twice contentedly.
"You absorbed a lot of elemental power and Faith Power during this period. Your age has increased by at least a thousand years." Su Ming connected with his own Spirit Rings, sensed them, and made a judgment.
The light sphere indicated he felt it too.
"But there's also bad news: the Faith Power of the Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda has been completely consumed by you."
"Ah?" The light sphere couldn't help but say. "The Faith Power of just one Spirit Transmission Pagoda is only enough to increase my cultivation by a thousand years? And I absorbed so much elemental power, too."
Seeing the light sphere had no self-awareness, Su Ming said annoyedly, "Did you think this body was free?"
He pointed at the worm's body that occasionally flashed with golden symbols.
"Your body is constructed from Faith Power."
Only then did the light sphere notice its own body. After carefully studying it, it was overjoyed.
"So that's how it is! I can directly sense and absorb faith myself now! No need to worry about you skimming off the top!"
Noticing Su Ming's look, the light sphere realized it had accidentally spoken its mind.
"Hehe, I'm mainly worried that you're so busy with your own cultivation, and having to transport faith for me would be too tiring."
"Alright, quickly research and study what other changes you have."
The light sphere closed its eyes.
Its body began to glow. Its jade-white body became illusory. Streams of light formed by the golden symbol flowed within it. The mark on its forehead also emitted seven-colored light.
After a long time, the light sphere opened its eyes.
"How is it?"
"I..." The light sphere showed a very strange expression, looking at Su Ming. "It seems I can condense clones."
Condense clones?
Su Ming showed a confused expression.
What use is that?
The light sphere also looked puzzled.
"It seems I can condense clones across time. This is my instinct, but I don't know how to do it."
