Chapter 506: Innate Divine Power
"Sir, you guys go ahead and play. I'm going back to the Dragon Palace." Ao Hai said, "If you need anything, call my name. I can hear you."
After saying that, Ao Hai disappeared, while Yu Cang, who was standing there, had a slightly strange look on his face.
Mythical beings have some sense of their own names.
This is a very impressive ability, but in Ao Hai's mouth, it is like a small phone function for calling a waiter.
"Um...Mr. Yu Cang." Ao Wu stood up, "Would you like to try our Dragon Palace Spirit Brew? This is good stuff, very nutritious."
Yu Cang smiled and said, "Why call me sir? It's so formal."
"Uh... hehe." Ao Wu touched his head, "Lord Dragon King specifically told us to be polite before he came..."
"No need, just call me Yu Cang."
"Really? I told you, Yu Cang, that you wouldn't care about these things!" A smile suddenly appeared on Ao Wu's face.
Making him speak so flowery was almost more painful than killing him... although in reality it only made him say one more word.
A wine table had been set up in the martial arts arena. Yu Cang sat down, picked up a cup of Dragon Palace Spirit Wine, and took a sip.
The mellow aroma of wine exploded between his lips and teeth, and the fresh fragrance of plants instantly penetrated into his bones, making Yu Cang's eyes light up all of a sudden.
Immediately afterwards, a strong tactile sensation began to erupt from the body, and all the nerves seemed to become numb under the effect of the spiritual brew, and this feeling continued in waves, making people unable to resist wanting to take a second sip.
Of course, for Yu Cang, a soul card master, the most important thing is that his soul energy well is actually stirring under the effect of this spiritual brew.
After savoring it for a moment, Yu Cang raised his glass and took a second sip.
The second sip still felt great, and the soul energy well seemed to be fully activated, with the soul energy in it flowing continuously.
But...it's a pity.
Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
This Dragon Palace Spirit Brew is said to have the function of strengthening the upper limit of the soul energy well, but from now on... this effect is not obvious.
Although he only drank two sips, Yu Cang already understood its effects.
Its function is only to activate the soul energy well, and it has no additional effect on the increase in the coefficient... This is not accurate. Perhaps drinking this kind of spiritual brew over the years will make the soul energy well coefficient grow naturally faster?
Yes, it can only promote the natural growth rate, but natural growth has an upper limit, and this still cannot be changed.
Yes... it's really unrealistic to want to become stronger without paying anything, just by drinking a little alcohol.
But even so, this kind of spiritual brew can already be considered a good resource - there are only a few resources that can affect the upper limit coefficient of the soul energy well.
"How is it?" Ao Wu came closer, "Is this spiritual brew okay?"
"It tastes great." Yu Cang nodded, "But I'm not good at wine tasting, so drinking it would be a bit of a waste."
For a card maker, the trance state when drunk will greatly affect the understanding of rhythm, so Yu Cang does not like to drink. The reason why he tasted this spiritual brew was that he was curious about its effect on the coefficient.
It is true that some card makers would specifically choose to create soul cards when the person is drunk and hazy, but Yu Cang is obviously not that kind of person.
"That's not what I meant."
A figure spoke from the side.
His name is Tai Ze, and he is a turtle man.
"Mr. Yu Cang is a man of extraordinary talent. It is an honor for the Dragon Palace Spirit Brew to be enjoyed by you."
"That's right!" Niu Chongtian said, "If it weren't for you, sir, Tianmen would have been finished. By then, we wouldn't even be able to drink this spiritual brew."
On the side, the white tiger named "Tian Pei" also roared quickly, expressing his full agreement.
The big fox with six tails squatted silently by the side, lowered its head, and stared quietly at the ripples on the surface of the spirit wine in the wine glass, wondering what it was thinking.
His name is "Leng Huo", and he is a legendary monster.
Although everyone present was young, they were mostly in their thirties or forties.
The lifespan of spirit beasts is not as long as before, but it is still much longer than that of humans. The lifespan of those hybrids that are more like spirit beasts is naturally not as long as that of the spirit beasts themselves, but the average lifespan is still several decades longer than that of humans.
At present, Yaoqi has not chosen to drastically reduce the lifespan of the mixed-bloods in Tianmen. Among those mixed-bloods, not many died from blood conflicts. Most of them died of natural causes. It is unknown what Yaoqi's plan is.
Among those present, except Ao Xiang who was only at the epic level, the others, whether they were spirit beasts or hybrids, had already been promoted to the legendary level. The strongest, Ao Wu, was even a super-legendary strongman.
There is no doubt that those who come here are the strongest talents of their generation in Tianmen.
In addition to the Dragon Palace's magical wine, there are also many fruits on the table, not to mention the delicious fish and meat.
Yu Cang took a few bites and found that the taste was definitely the best thing he had ever eaten.
The rhythm of Tianmen is primitive and the energy between heaven and earth is abundant. The fruits and poultry that grow naturally there are unique in both texture and taste.
Not to mention poultry... All the meat Yu Cang ate on Blue Star was cut from "wild beasts" with very low levels of infection.
Outside Tianmen, all life except humans, plants, and microorganisms has been infected by Huang. The only difference is the degree of infection. Those livestock... are naturally no exception.
However, just like the fish in Zixu Lake, the livestock are very stupid, and Huang will not be infected too deeply - Huang's infection limit has a lot to do with intelligence. Even if a brainless thing is infected, it will not be too deeply.
Humans are immune to wild beasts, so there will be no problem eating these "wild beast meats" normally, but... the texture and taste will definitely be affected to some extent.
Now that I can eat the pure beast meat from Tianmen, it is naturally a great happiness.
However, Yu Cang had already eaten breakfast and couldn’t eat too much... Fortunately, there was a special safety totem, so he could just put the leftover food aside and eat it at noon or in the evening without any changes in taste or nutrition.
While Cang Kuku was eating, the people beside him looked at each other, but some of them didn't know how to find a topic to talk about.
Well... normally at this time, singers and dancers would come out to warm up the audience, but... Yu Cang seemed to have just driven away all the females.
What should we do? We can’t let them come, right?
They won’t know either.
At this time.
Yu Cang put down the plate with a click.
"Speaking of which... I heard that spirit beasts and hybrids rely on magical powers to fight? I've been curious about this system of magical powers for a long time. Could you please introduce it to me?"
"Of course!" Ao Wu said immediately, "This magical power... is actually a strengthened talent. Spiritual beasts are good at developing their innate abilities, using various training methods and natural treasures to gradually strengthen their talents into magical powers...
"Once a magical power is strengthened to a certain level, it can be passed down through one's bloodline to future generations, allowing those who meet the requirements to awaken it... Adding to the magical powers one is born with, a spirit beast can possess a considerable number of magical powers. However, generally speaking, they will choose one as their 'innate magical power.'"
"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his brows. "Is there anything special about this innate magical power?"
"Of course there are—the most basic point is that only when a magical power is regarded as one's innate magical power can one potentially break through the limitations of one's own bloodline, gaining greater and stronger power, and even having a slight chance of breaking through the mythological realm. Secondly, innate magical power is purely 'one's own'. Some powerful spirit beasts can even rely solely on their innate magical power to survive, without even needing a physical body.
"Moreover, because of the existence of bloodlines, some spirit beasts that have lived for a long time can easily suppress their inferiors through their bloodlines. However, their innate magical powers are unique to them, so they can ignore this suppression."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang nodded.
Indeed... He had felt before that spirit beasts were very powerful. In the ancient times, they were mythical creatures everywhere... However, they were also very fragile.
But it can be seen from the Emperor's Seal... Although the Emperor's Seal's control over spirit beasts is only effective with the spirit beasts' own consent, a mythical totem has devoured an entire spirit beast clan for thousands of years, and even the spirit beasts born in later generations cannot escape this control... It's still too exaggerated.
In the bloodline, the source has almost absolute repressive power over the lower levels. Once some repressive relationships are formed, they cannot be escaped. This phenomenon makes this system almost deformed.
This innate magical power seems to be a way to fight against this kind of suppression... although Yu Cang feels that this innate magical power will not play a big role.
However... the innate magical power is purely "oneself"?
A thoughtful look flashed in Yu Cang's eyes.
At this time, Ao Wu continued, "Take me for example... My innate magical power is 'Scaled Clothes', which allows me to transform my dragon scales into armor, thereby greatly increasing my combat effectiveness... The Dragon King's innate magical power is also this!"
Hearing this, Yu Cang recalled the battle a few days ago.
At that time, all the dragon scales on Ao Hai's body extended out and stretched into the shape of armor.
Well... apart from anything else, this magical power is indeed very cool.
Niu Chongtian: "And me... My magical power is 'Golden Thunder'... Our Niu family may not be good at other things, but Golden Thunder is definitely a first-class magical power!"
Jin Lei?
It should be the same model used by Uncle Niu and his grandson a few days ago.
Yu Cang was also deeply impressed by this.
At this time, Turtle Man Tai Ze said: "My innate magical power is 'Super Speed'. When it is activated, it can greatly increase my speed and defense."
Yu Cang couldn't help but look sideways.
This magical power... is it possessed by this turtle race?
Doesn’t it feel a bit disjointed?
Taize seemed to know what Yu Cang was thinking and continued, "This magical power of mine comes from Lord Shouzu... I am not a descendant of Shouzu, but by chance, Lord Shouzu bestowed a drop of his true blood, from which I realized this magical power... Actually, this magical power should have been created by Lord Shouzu himself by breaking through the limits of his bloodline."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang understood.
That makes sense.
He recognized Shouzu's awareness and ability to save his life.
A turtle has the speed skill point, so it seems reasonable to put it on Shouzu.
"Is this Shouzu's innate magical power?"
"Not really." Tai Ze shook his head. "Lord Shouzu has many magical powers, and super speed is just one of them... I'm dull, so I only got this one."
Good job.
It seems that Shouzu's life-saving ability should be more than just this one.
After Tai Ze finished speaking, Ao Wu continued, "That white tiger is called Tian Pei... He hasn't reached the high level of inheritance yet, so he can't speak. His innate magical power is 'Roaring Wind'. When he roars, he can blow out wind blades to attack the opponent. It's very powerful."
Tian Pei immediately raised his head and roared. Suddenly, a strong wind visible to the naked eye rushed up into the sky, blowing a hole in the thin clouds on the horizon.
This power is really good.
Yu Cang nodded, and then his eyes fell on the six-tailed fox.
From the beginning, even Tian Pei, who couldn't speak, would shout a few times to liven up the atmosphere, and Leng Huo... after sitting down, he kept staring at his bed, as if he was not interested in anything.
Ao Wu introduced, "Yu Cang, Leng Huo's innate magical power is 'Understanding Human Language'... This magical power is very special. As long as he stands in front of someone, he can automatically learn their language. However, when he speaks human language for the first time and someone responds... he will 'transform' into a person just like them.
"This ability will definitely take effect and cannot be canceled, so Leng Huo doesn't like to talk much. Please forgive me."
"Transformation?" Yu Cang was curious. "Will everything remain the same after the transformation?"
"Yes, even magical powers can be copied... but the soul energy well cannot be copied. If it were used on a human, Leng Huo would at best become a hybrid like me, with a broken soul energy well in his head."
Leng Huo raised his head and gave Yu Cang a barely perceptible smile.
Looks quite cool.
After Ao Wu finished introducing himself, Yu Cang suddenly looked at Ao Xiang: "What about you? What is your innate magical power?"
"Eh?" Ao Xiang was stunned. "Should I, should I be introduced too?"
"Of course, I'm curious."
After all, this is the only dragon man who can use soul cards.
"But, but..." Ao Xiang's little face turned red.
Yu Cang was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"
Then why are you blushing?
"Yu Cang." Ao Wu leaned closer at this time. "Ao Xiang...his innate magical power is not combat-oriented, and his name is not cool. He has always been very self-conscious about this."
"Why are you feeling inferior?" Yu Cang waved his hand. "Don't worry, I will never laugh at you."
“Then…then…”
Ao Xiang took a deep breath, looked at Niu Chongtian and the others, and gritted his teeth.
"My innate magical power... is called 'laundry'!... It can, it can repair the 'Scaled Clothes'... That's it!"
Yu Cang: "..."
Who came up with this name?
No wonder other people’s children have low self-esteem.
Everyone else is very fast, but Jin Lei does the laundry by himself.
It sounds like a handyman.
"It sounds good." Yu Cang rubbed his chin.
"Eh...really?"
"Of course, no matter what kind of battle it is, logistics and support are very important."
"Um..." Ao Wu moved closer and whispered, "Our scaly clothes... can all be repaired by themselves..."
Yu Cang: "..."
