Chapter 96
Before training with the Yin-Yang Butterfly, Xia Muqing first checked the attribute panel.
[Type: Yin-Yang Butterfly]
【quality:? ? 】
[Trait 1: Emotional Sensing]
[Trait 2: Origin of Life]
[Five-dimensional attributes: Attack (67 points), Defense (63 points), Speed (71 points), Endurance (88 points), Spirit (73 points)]
After evolving, the attributes of Liang Yi Butterfly have increased significantly. Although there is still a big gap between its panel and that of Gale Hound and Koi Fish, at least it is no longer the sickly creature that could be seen at a glance before.
But according to the attribute panel, Xia Muqing can also see that the physical fitness of Liang Yi Butterfly is still at a disadvantage. It is still more suitable to hide behind the team and serve as a support or magic attacker.
"Xiao Zi, how many types of emotional energy can you currently call upon?"
The Yin-Yang butterfly blinked and bent its antennae.
If we break down emotions... there are probably seventeen or eighteen types?
Besides the common emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, there are also sarcasm, frustration, outbursts, joy, anxiety...
These are all kinds of emotions that the Yin-Yang Butterfly has collected in its daily life. Due to its own instinctive characteristics, it has developed a hobby of collecting emotions. When it senses different emotions, it wants to absorb some and store them, resulting in a lot of miscellaneous energy accumulated in its body.
It is worth mentioning that the little koi carp accounts for the majority of the source of emotions, and more than half of these emotions are provided by it.
Especially when it is watching TV series.
Yin-Yang Butterfly: "Ah!"
Although there are many types, these are ultimately just marginal parts. The two types of energy absorbed before are still the most abundant in its body.
One is the power of healing and protection, encompassing everyone's sincere blessings for the Yin-Yang Butterfly, as well as the Yin-Yang Butterfly's heartfelt desire to protect everyone, fused within the graceful white-silver glow of the butterfly's wings. The other is the venomous power of the Phantom Rhino, normally held back, yet its energy fluctuations are sinister and treacherous, not to be underestimated, and embodied within the colorful dark patterns on the butterfly's wings.
After listening to Liang Yi Die's description of her physical condition, Xia Muqing touched her chin and thought for a moment: "...Is that so? I understand."
"Xiao Zi, from now on, you must carefully sort out the emotional energy in your body. Don't retain so many chaotic emotions. First, divide them into two categories: one is positive emotions, and the other is negative emotions."
"Merge all positive emotions into the light energy to enhance your healing abilities. Merge all negative emotions into the other side to merge with the resentful part... But Xiao Zi, you must be careful when absorbing emotions. You must maintain a balance between the two energies and absorb more positive emotions so that the light energy can subtly suppress the dark part."
The Yin-Yang butterfly flapped its wings and nodded repeatedly.
"Aaaaaaaa!"
Don't worry, owner. It is no longer an ignorant little caterpillar and can independently control the absorption and release of emotional energy.
Even if it encounters another Phantom Rhino, it should not lose itself like before.
"That's great." Xia Muqing nodded. "I'll pick a few more skills for you to bring out the best of these two energies."
She took out her phone and said, "This is the study plan I initially came up with last night. Do you like it?"
In the plan, Xia Muqing listed several skills for the two energies of the Yin-Yang Butterfly.
Skill 1: Motivation.
Based on the caterpillar's "Encouragement" skill, it uses a positive emotional atmosphere and life energy to more widely stimulate the abilities of mysterious beasts. In the game, this is equivalent to a 10% increase in all-round skill effects.
The biggest advantage of this skill is that the amplification effect is applicable to all types of mysterious beasts. Whether it is the range attack "Blizzard" formed by the Gale Dog activating the mysterious power, or the strong physical fitness of the Koi Fish, they can all get the "stimulation" effect bonus.
Of course, the weaker the mysterious beast is, the more obvious the effect will be. As the power of the Yin-Yang Butterfly becomes stronger, the effect of this amplification will also increase accordingly.
For the second skill, Xia Muqing chose "Entering Dreams".
This was the result she finally decided on after much deliberation. "Dream Entering" was an illusion skill, perfectly suited to Yin-Yang Butterfly's abilities. Dreams could be both pleasant and nightmares, and if Yin-Yang Butterfly could precisely control its abilities, it could freely switch between the two.
The Yin-Yang butterfly was very interested in the "Dream Entering" skill and fluttered its wings happily: "Eh?"
When using this skill, is it enough to just knead the emotional energy and then throw it out?
Xia Muqing smiled: "How can it be that simple?"
"What you've mastered so far are only the basic uses of emotional energy. 'Inspire' is a bit easier; you have the foundation of 'Encourage', so it shouldn't be difficult to learn. However, 'Dream Enter' is a delicate skill. It requires a lot of thought to pull the enemy into a dream that's so convincing it's real in an instant."
"It needs a realistic environment, rich emotions, and even a storyline with a plot that unfolds... In short, you need to be able to focus and study this skill carefully. There's a lot of room for exploration."
Liangyi Butterfly tilted its head and nodded, not quite understanding.
Xia Muqing gently tapped its tentacles: "It's okay, take your time, I'll find a way to teach you."
"But now, there is one more very important thing."
"Xiao Zi, do you remember when we were in the store and the old factory, you attached energy to my fist and helped me break the iron door?"
Yin-Yang Butterfly: "Ah!"
Of course I remember!
Xia Muqing clenched her fists: "Then try again now?"
Liang Yi Butterfly: “……?”
"Eh?"
What’s the matter, master? Are you going to destroy the training ground?
"...Hahaha, we can't destroy the training ground," Xia Muqing said with a smile, "It's like this, over the past few months, I feel that my mental strength has increased a lot."
"I've always wondered, if your energy could be attached to me, could you also guide my mental power and explore other uses for it?"
Beastmasters possessed powerful mental power, but they only used it to establish contracts and open up mysterious beast spaces. Xia Muqing felt it was a waste no matter how she thought about it. However, since this matter was related to her life, Xia Muqing did not dare to try it casually, as she might suffer a mental breakdown and be doomed.
But now, what she saw before her was the Yin-Yang Butterfly, which possessed the dual characteristics of emotional perception and life energy.
Emotional energy was truly magical. It could actually infuse her with power by inducing emotions, granting her abilities similar to those of a mysterious beast. Xia Muqing had experienced this before. Life energy also possessed a powerful healing ability. Even if a minor problem arose, the Yin-Yang Butterfly would keep her safe. Xia Muqing's thoughts became active again.
"Come on, Xiao Zi, I'll activate my mental power. Can you try to attach your energy to my mental power?"
As she spoke, Xia Muqing closed her eyes and tried hard to sense the energy in her body.
At the same time, the Yin-Yang Butterfly released a subtle mysterious force that attached itself to her body, like a stream of light flowing back and forth on her skin.
Xia Muqing frowned.
The Yin-Yang Butterfly had tried its best to gather its energy, but her first reaction was still burning, just like when the mysterious force wrapped around her fist.
The physique of the mysterious beasts far exceeds that of humans. The power that they can easily withstand, when it falls on Xia Muqing, it feels as hot as fire, making her skin flush in the blink of an eye, the blood flow in her body accelerate, and her whole body aches slightly.
"hiss!"
Xia Muqing took a breath.
Just when she felt that she was about to catch fire and was forced to call a halt, another warm force suddenly fell from above her head. It was the Yin-Yang Butterfly that keenly sensed her pain and gently touched her brow with its tentacles.
The life energy turned into a trickle, cool and gentle, which continuously seeped into Xia Muqing's body, offsetting the burning heat of the mysterious power.
Xia Muqing heaved a long sigh of relief, and only then could she feel at ease and carefully feel the mysterious power spreading throughout her body.
Each time before, she'd been in a hurry, unable to observe carefully. Furthermore, compared to the clumsy little caterpillar, the Yin-Yang Butterfly's control over energy was noticeably more refined. Xia Muqing carefully studied it, gradually discovering that the flow of profound energy had a trajectory. Wherever it spread, her skin seemed to transform into hardened iron.
Xia Muqing suddenly had an idea and immediately mobilized her mental power, rushing towards the place where the Yin-Yang Butterfly's mysterious power flowed.
After more than ten minutes, the mental power that was originally scattered disorderly gradually formed a fixed trajectory under her full control, flowing around her body, faintly evoking magical fluctuations.
The moment the closed loop was formed, Xia Muqing's whole body was shocked!
She felt like a silver needle had pierced deep into her mind. Her scattered mental energy instantly boiled over, and the waves it stirred up turned into a transparent round cover, spreading outward!
The Yin-Yang Butterfly was hit by the cover and flew out unexpectedly.
It fluttered in surprise, staring at Xia Muqing worriedly: "Aiya, aiya?"
Master, master, why does it feel a strange power?
No, it was just the form of power that was unfamiliar, but the fluctuations gave it a very familiar feeling! It was like when it was fighting with the Phantom Rhino and sensed the anxious call of its master, gentle and kind—
“Bang!”
Xia Muqing suddenly relaxed her strength.
She fell to the ground, tiredly supporting herself on the wooden floor, breathing heavily, and raised her hand to push her sweaty hair behind her ear.
The sudden burst of mental power just now consumed a lot of her energy, mainly because she couldn't control it flexibly. A lot of mental power was wasted at the moment of the burst, and now her headache was almost exploding.
The Yin-Yang butterfly anxiously pounced on her: "Aiyaya?"
Master, are you okay?
"...It's okay, it's okay." Xia Muqing's face was pale, but she looked very excited. "Xiao Zi, I think we might have made a big discovery!"
"If this method works, human mental power can also be utilized, at least to protect the beastmaster himself!"
She raised her hand and patted her burning cheek hard.
"Xiao Zi, from today on, I will train with you."
"Please protect me during training later."
