Chapter 915 I Might Not Be as Likeable as I Was When I Was a Child
Yu Xunge didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, the curse brought by the "Disastrous Journey" had disappeared.
The orange and white cat emerged from the cloak, and the two teachers sitting at the bow of the boat looked over at the same time.
Yu Xunge finally had the mind to observe the scenery of the river of time.
But the next second, she was grabbed by the back of her neck and lifted up, carried to the middle of the small boat, and made to face the two teachers.
Meeting the apprentice's accusing gaze, Zhu Ri pointed at Tian Hu Hao Qi: "She has something to say to you."
Yu Xunge immediately stood at attention, waiting for Tian Huhaoqi's words, knowing they must be very important.
Tianhu Haoqi sighed:
“Every time I see you, I think, how wonderful it would have been if I had gone to Caladom back then, but unfortunately there are no ifs…”
"So when Zhu Ri told me that if I came to see you with her, I could become another official mentor for you, as long as you agreed, I asked Cuo Da for leave without hesitation."
"You might have a headache going back to the competition, because while I was away, Cuoda was covering for me..."
At this point, her casual tone suddenly turned serious. She looked directly into her apprentice's eyes and said earnestly, "Actually, I originally thought that you were the apprentice I wanted most when you were a child."
Yu Xunge had actually guessed what was going on from Tian Hu Haoqi's words, "I've come to find my apprentice," when he was carrying wine, since Tian Hu Haoqi said every year that he wanted to be an apprentice.
But hearing Tianhu Haoqi's last words, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She looked at this teacher, whose style was completely different from Zhu Ri's, and waited for her "but".
“But,” Tianhu Haoqi said, “seeing you all grown up, I realize I’m more fickle than I thought. You, now grown up, are the apprentice I’ve always wanted. Would you like to be my apprentice? It’s still over eighty days before we reach Astrana. I can teach you druid, or would you like to learn something else?”
For a moment, Yu Xunge's eyes showed helplessness. She knew what she was like in the card-swapping game. She could never be that enthusiastic, honest, and unguarded... Didn't they get angry about this when they first boarded the ship?
She remained silent for a long time before softly replying under Tianhu Haoqi's expectant gaze, "I might not be as likable as I was when I was a child."
Of course, she didn't intend to change anything for the sake of being "likable." She felt that she was fine, and even if she made people angry or sad... it wasn't her fault.
Thinking this way, she became more assertive again, staring directly into Tian Hu Haoqi's eyes and refusing to back down.
If these two teachers hadn't traveled across time to find her, she wouldn't have even said those two apologies!
"Please remove the word 'maybe'." Zhu Ri finally couldn't help but interrupt, and she even maliciously stuck her index finger against the cat's forehead, almost flipping the cat over.
In the blink of an eye, Tianhu Haoqi transformed into a 4-meter-tall moon bear. With a roar, the moon bear raised its legs high and stomped down hard on Zhu Ri's feet.
Zhu Ri had tried her best to keep a straight face, but Yu Xunge could still see that her features were slightly distorted, and her hands, which had been lazily resting on her knees, were now clenched into hard fists.
Yu Xunge: !!!
There was actually an attack that even the sun couldn't dodge? This must be some kind of superb combat technique!
The cat, standing in the middle of the boat, suddenly jumped and landed on the moon bear's other leg.
She stood up on her hind legs, her cat paws tightly gripping the moon bear's leg, and tilted her head back, shouting enthusiastically, "Teacher!!! Teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher!"
day by day:……
...
"After learning the Heart of the Druid, you can switch between three forms: Savage Form, Hunting Form, and Nature Form. Each of these forms sacrifices a certain part of the ability to greatly amplify another ability."
"For example, my Savage Form - Moon Bear sacrifices some Agility and Intelligence to greatly increase my Strength and Defense."
"My hunting form - Shadow Panther - sacrifices strength, defense, and intelligence to enhance my agility, dexterity, and critical strike damage. This form excels at stealth, hunting, and aggressive attacks."
"My natural form - Shattered Star Butterfly - sacrifices strength, defense, and physical attack to enhance my intelligence and the healing effect of my healing skills. This form's casting speed is three times that of other forms, and skill cooldown time is also reduced by half."
"The three forms can be switched freely without cooling."
"This skill isn't extremely advanced, but it's very precious. It comes from my people and has nothing to do with arcane magic, so you don't need to worry about her."
"Each person's druid form is related to their nature."
She had liked this transformation skill a long time ago when she was training with Tenhu Haoqi. However, at that time she knew that it was a unique combat technique that even Tenhu Haoqi, as a teacher of Moonlight Wetlands, would not teach to ordinary students, so she never asked about it.
After hearing the skill introduction, Yu Xunge couldn't wait to start learning.
She asked curiously, "Are there many people who have learned this skill?"
"Not many, not only because the potions needed to learn Druid are extremely expensive, but also because the understanding of this skill is particularly stream-of-consciousness, and most importantly, learning Druid requires the constant supervision of another experienced Druid," Tianhu Haoqi summarized. "In short, if I were to leave the River of Time, I might not be able to find this much time to teach you the Heart of Druid..."
She pulled out a box containing seven bottles of potions: "These are all my potions. Each one takes at least 10 years to make. I try to make them every year after I've collected enough materials, but only these seven will succeed in the end. That means you only have seven chances."
Is that enough?
The only problem is, after she learns this deluxe Animagus... no, this Heart of the Druid, will she be able to bring it to Astranaar?
In the past, she would naturally prefer to keep such god-level skills outside the game, but after starting to gamble with the demon, her ranking in the God Game became very important to her.
Given her previous achievements in the Astrana God Games, she has a very high chance of winning first place, provided that her final God Games doesn't collapse.
Tianhu Haoqi's answer to this was: "No, but when we enter the Astrana timeline, I will teach you again. I'm very curious about the differences between your druid forms in the two timelines—if you can learn them."
That would be perfect.
Yu Xunge first learned the Savage Form, which, according to Tianhu Haoqi, is the most suitable for her in her current state.
After mastering the transformation runes she taught him, Tianhu Haoqi took out a quill pen and a magic potion and drew magic runes representing a savage form on Yu Xunge's back.
This magical pattern will only last for 21 days. During these 21 days, Yu Xunge needs to stir up her inner unease and despair, and ignite a strong belief in wanting to live. Most importantly, she must firmly believe one thing—no one will help her except herself.
When the magical runes on her body light up, Tenhu Haoqi will chant a magical incantation for her until the transformation is completely finished.
This is the most crucial and also the most difficult part for druids, because the transformation time for each person is uncertain. During this time, experienced druids cannot stop their spellcasting for even a second.
It is precisely this step that makes it so that not many beings learn Druidism.
These are all the steps, but whether you can successfully learn the Savage Form ultimately depends on luck.
If something goes wrong, Tianhu Haoqi will help her reverse the situation in time.
This form is indeed the easiest to learn; having just experienced the drinking battle, she can easily recall her feelings at that time.
In less than three days, the magic patterns on Yu Xunge's skin began to light up regularly.
Tianhu Haoqi's gentle singing voice echoed through the river of time.
Instantly, Yu Xunge felt herself begin to change, as the magical runes began to reshape her bones and flesh.
