Chapter 318 What's Missing
Ning Xuan felt the abundant lightning energy in the blue meridians, and even her blood was surging with thunder power. The energy was obviously enough, but the giant beast's body, which had been solidified, with scales and claws that were lifelike, suddenly collapsed with a bang.
Ning Xuan only felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, and the vague sensation disappeared.
The little red bird flew to Ning Xuan's shoulder and chirped a few times, as if to comfort her.
Ning Xuan sat there blankly, feeling lost.
Ning Xuan only captured 11 larvae of thunder beasts in the first thunderstorm. In the subsequent wars, no larvae were found.
The evolved Thunder Beast is not only huge in size and has extremely high defense, but it is also swift in movement and can control lightning. It is much more difficult to deal with than its larval form.
Ning Xuan had also tried to capture the evolved Thunder Beast, but had failed. The Thunder Beast could be killed but could not be captured alive. After the death of the Thunder Beast, the beast core in its body would immediately explode and could not be preserved at all.
After killing the Thunder Beast, the only valuable information that can be obtained are its teeth and skin.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a new round of fighting. Ning Xuan just received news yesterday that as the thunderstorm continues, more and more soldiers are injured or killed, and the troops are insufficient. The rest time will become shorter and shorter. In the later stages, the intensity of the war will become higher and higher, and there will be more and more star beasts of all kinds. In order to ensure the safety of the base, there may not even be time to rest.
Ning Xuan's strength is outstanding. When she just arrived at the lower base, her mental power level was only A-level. During the training, she quickly broke through to S-level. Later in the war, her mental power level broke through to SS-level on the battlefield. This upgrade speed caused many people to be amazed.
This speed of upgrading made everyone more certain of her origin from a large family. They believed that she must be carrying medicine that could help her break through the realm in a short period of time, and that it was her accumulation of experience that led to such a miracle.
Even so, it is very strange and should not stand up to scrutiny, but this is a battlefield, strength represents everything, and no one will ask in detail.
The team led by Ning Xuan always had the lowest casualty rate and the best performance. The special ores handed in by her team far exceeded those of other teams, far surpassing the second-ranked team.
Precisely because of such outstanding achievements, Ning Xuan has accumulated a great deal of military merit in a short period of time. Her current military rank is colonel, and she has even been received by the highest commander of the base. If she had not joined the army for such a short time and had such little experience, her promotion to major general would not be a problem based on her military merits.
The higher the military rank, the more people one manages, the greater the responsibilities and expectations one bears. She does not want to reveal the aura of her companion spirit, Suzaku, on the battlefield. The methods she used before were all disguised by the Ghost-faced Red Vine. However, as the frequency of wars increased and the opponents she faced became stronger, Ning Xuan felt more and more powerless.
Due to a strong sense of crisis, Ning Xuan wants to awaken a new companion spirit before the end of this recuperation period. This will not only quickly enhance her overall strength, but also will not expose her identity.
But today is the last day of the repair period. The accumulated energy is obviously enough, so why can’t it condense into shape?
She just always felt like something was missing. When she awakened the Vermillion Bird before, although her physique was too weak to bear the burden at the beginning, after several sessions of body training, it felt like awakening her companion spirit was a natural thing. Why was it so difficult this time?
Ning Xuan was puzzled. In terms of the level of companion spirit, Suzaku was at the legendary level. A newly born companion spirit could never exceed this level. Moreover, the lightning energy absorbed by the blue meridians had far exceeded the accumulated fire energy. She knew clearly that if she had not come to this galaxy with rich lightning energy, it would take her ten to eight years to accumulate so much lightning energy.
Although she was puzzled, Ning Xuan still tried hard to think of a solution. She had a hunch that if she couldn't successfully awaken a new companion spirit this time, Suzaku's aura might be exposed.
Ning Xuan took out the last Thunder Beast larva from the space ring, thinking that the Thunder Beast larva seemed to rely on special minerals to complete its evolution. She was raising eleven Thunder Beast larvae, and they had not been able to complete their evolution completely because she could not get special minerals.
Hey, she has a special ore in her hand. Maybe she can try to absorb the energy in the special ore to see if she can complete the awakening of the companion spirit.
She only knew that the special mineral produced in thunderstorms contained strange energy and had many special uses, but she had never thought of using this mineral for cultivation.
Try it today.
Thinking of this, Ning Xuan stuffed the young Thunder Beast in her hand back into the space ring, and took out a black irregular ore with seven facets from the space button.
Judging from its appearance, this mineral does not look like it was born in nature, but rather like it was created through exquisite artificial carving.
Strange colors flowed on the surface of the black ore, and each of the seven cross-sections emitted a different light.
Ning Xuan looked at the ore carefully. There was surging energy inside the ore. She pressed her palm on the ore, tentatively activating her internal skills to absorb the energy. "Hiss", the internal skills just started to work, and her fingertips brushed the edge of the cut surface, which immediately released a purple arc of electricity, leaving a burning and stinging sensation on her skin and a red mark.
"Hiss" she took a breath and immediately pulled back her finger. After her action, the energy surging inside the ore seemed to be triggered by some mechanism. The originally surging energy suddenly rushed around in the crystal as if it had life, occasionally condensing into a hideous shape, as if a roar was coming out.
Ning Xuan felt a chill in her heart. No, she couldn't absorb the energy from the ore directly. If she did, the surging energy would burst her.
Ning Xuan released black vine silk to test, but there was no response. The vine silk could not absorb the energy in the ore.
No, what is needed for the companion spirit to awaken is not energy, but substances such as spiritual perception and consciousness.
It’s better to let it find it by itself.
Ning Xuan condensed the dragon-shaped phantom again and input lightning energy into the phantom. She watched the phantom gradually solidify and the dragon scales became clearly visible. Just when she felt that the dragon shape was becoming fuller, Ning Xuan took the little red bird into her body. The blue meridians were covered by the red meridians. At the same time, she rolled up the special ore with vine silk and threw it into the dragon-shaped phantom.
"Bang", the special mineral burst out with extremely strong light in the dragon-shaped phantom, instantly illuminating the entire space.
