Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 368 - 379: Mastering the Second Transformation

It was certainly a joyful thing for Chu Linfeng that the Purple Demon Spirit Fox could make a breakthrough, but the ambiguous tone in her words was a bit too much for him to handle.

Chu Linfeng was well aware of her charm art’s prowess, especially when she transformed into human form, making it nearly impossible to distinguish. If he truly did something foolish, it was entirely possible. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Xiao Xiao, you can’t be serious, right? The consequences could be severe, don’t you know that?" Chu Linfeng immediately said.

"Hehe, big brother, I was teasing you. Although I like you, I wouldn’t do anything reckless to you, rest assured! But after my charm art improves, I can be of greater help to you," said the Purple Demon Thunder Fox.

Chu Linfeng knew what she meant. With her charm art, she was the best choice for being an inside informant, almost impossible to detect when infiltrating the enemy, though he didn’t seem to need such a special ability just yet.

"Big brother, did you get what you wanted from Ruo Shui this time?" asked the Purple Demon Thunder Fox with a smile.

"Yes, I did. I just came to see how you’re doing after absorbing the inner core, and then I’m planning to go into closed-door cultivation for a while," Chu Linfeng replied.

The Purple Demon Thunder Fox looked at Chu Linfeng and said, "I’ve completely absorbed it, big brother, so you can go into closed-door practice now. I’ll also go out to handle some things. I hope that when you emerge, I can give you a big surprise."

After finishing her words, the Purple Demon Thunder Fox’s body flashed with a purple light and then she transformed into a small fox, exiting the room.

After Chu Linfeng closed the door, he sat down by the bed and began to absorb Star Power.

After absorbing two Top-grade Star Stone Monuments, he stopped, and then asked the Sword Spirit, "Sister Yue’Er, I want to practice the martial skill of Water Transformation now. Could you tell me its essence?"

"Hehe, I thought you’d forgotten. Water Transformation and Fire Transformation are similar in nature, but Water Transformation changes more. Once you comprehend the Water Element, you’ll understand," said the Sword Spirit.

Suddenly, a method for performing Water Transformation appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind. Although it was very profound, with the Sword Spirit’s explanation and his insights from Fire Transformation, it didn’t take long for him to grasp it.

Taking out the Water Spirit Pearl from his Storage Ring, Chu Linfeng didn’t rush to comprehend the Water Element but slowly observed the subtle changes on the Water Spirit Pearl.

The Water Spirit Pearl emitted a faint green glow, with Water Element Molecules faintly dancing on it. Chu Linfeng gradually cleared his mind of distractions and quieted his heart spirit, beginning to sense the world within the Water Spirit Pearl.

By now, Chu Linfeng’s perception power had become quite strong from sensing dark matters in Ruo Shui, and it was the same for the Water Spirit Pearl. Within a few minutes, he found the feeling.

Sword Spirit Yue’er was naturally aware of all of Chu Linfeng’s changes and was very satisfied with his performance. If Chu Linfeng fully practiced Water Transformation, his power would advance by leaps and bounds.

Gradually, Chu Linfeng’s divine sense entered the core of the Water Spirit Pearl, where the Water Element Molecules were extremely turbulent, like surging tides, vastly different from the calm, lake-like appearance on the surface.

Chu Linfeng attempted to communicate with the Water Element and discovered that there were even Ice Element Molecules at the core. Ice was another form of Water, but the power produced by this change was even greater.

Chu Linfeng felt as if his whole body was in an ice cellar, suddenly growing cold. Even with his defense power, he felt the chill; one could only imagine the energy within the Water Spirit Pearl.

As time ticked by, Chu Linfeng felt that comprehending the Water Element this time took even longer than the Fire Element, likely due to the variant Ice Element Molecules within the Water Spirit Pearl. Although they all belonged to the Water Element, it required understanding two molecular attributes.

It was naturally much more difficult than the singular Fire Element. By now, Chu Linfeng had basically comprehended the Water Element Molecules, though he hadn’t fully grasped the cold Ice Element Molecules.

If someone entered the room at that moment, they would surely be stunned. A thick layer of ice had formed on Chu Linfeng’s body, not ordinary ice, but the Profound Ice he had seen on the northern peak of the Magic Beast Forest.

However, Chu Linfeng was oblivious by now. Though he felt waves of coldness, he wasn’t aware of the specific changes, as his entire focus was on communicating with the Ice Element.

Who knew how much time passed before he opened his eyes and looked at the layer of ice on his body, then smiled slightly. With a thought, the ice layer began to slowly disappear, not melting but vanishing into thin air, transformed into Ice Element Molecules in the air.

By now, Chu Linfeng had fully comprehended both the Water Element and the Ice Element. Although the two could merge, their essence remained different.

The latter possessed more formidable attack power, while the former was infinitely variable. If one were to decide which was better, it was indeed difficult to say. Each had its own strengths.

Chu Linfeng began to circulate the Chaotic Dragon Power within his body, gradually absorbing the energy of the Water Spirit Pearl.

The energy of the Water Spirit Pearl flowed into his body bit by bit, then began to circulate within his meridians. As the Water Spirit Pearl gradually shrank, the Water Element Molecules in Chu Linfeng’s meridians increased.

While Chu Linfeng was savoring his success in completing the transformation smoothly, an unexpected event occurred; the Fire Element Molecules in his body suddenly became agitated.

Since ancient times, water and fire have been incompatible. Immediately, the Water Element Molecules and Fire Element Molecules began to battle within his body. Although Chu Linfeng had completely comprehended the Fire Element, he could not control it at the moment, as if it were all involuntary, and his body began to experience severe pain.

Alarmed by this situation, Chu Linfeng’s absorption of the Water Spirit Pearl’s energy slowed significantly. He hurriedly asked the Sword Spirit, "Sister Yue’Er, what’s going on?"

The Sword Spirit then said, "Endure it slowly. Though it’s painful, it’s also a form of training and infinitely beneficial to your body. Even though it won’t directly help you break through to the Fifth Layer of the Star Body, it’s close.

Water and fire not mixing is an age-old truth, but for someone practicing the Nine Revolutions Star Transformation, this law will be altered,

when you truly master Water Transformation, your body’s situation will undergo a tremendous change, forming a fusion of water and fire. At that time, your attack power will multiply, though the pain won’t be any less than when breaking through the Fifth Layer of the Star Body."

Hearing this, Chu Linfeng was perplexed. Why did he have to endure such inhuman suffering every time he broke through? But for the sake of greater power, he could only do one thing—endure! Endure what ordinary people cannot!

"Only when the energy of the Water Spirit Pearl is fully absorbed will true change occur within your body. You should speed up your absorption; the sooner you finish, the shorter the pain will last. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a hard time!" the Sword Spirit added.

Resolute, Chu Linfeng began to madly absorb the energy. Though his pain was increasing, it couldn’t deter his determination to become stronger...
