Chapter 184 The Origin of the Elemental Fox
According to the description of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which can barely be considered a living "Soul Beast History Book", Zhou Qing and other small groups learned the reason why the elemental fox could not break through to the ten thousand year level.
In an unknown time, a giant silver dragon covered in blood broke through the barrier of space and descended into the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent, hiding its breath and falling into a deep sleep.
At that time, a golden-eyed black dragon king on the Douluo Continent summoned all soul beasts, collected the silver dragon's blood, and returned it to the silver dragon to help it recover from its injuries faster.
Except for the ancestors of the elemental fox and a certain type of tiger soul beast that was brought down by the evil god, the rest of the soul beasts, including the human-faced demon spider, the demon-eyed demon tree and other races that like to devour, also dare not hide the silver dragon's blood.
The so-called tiger soul beast that was brought down by the evil god is undoubtedly the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. The first moment it appears, it will be surrounded and beaten by all soul beasts, and it will not be given any chance to grow.
However, the ancestor of the elemental fox was cunning and left behind a portion of the silver dragon's blood he found, summoned all his descendants, refined it together, and let them migrate to different areas to reproduce on a large scale.
In this way, the silver dragon's blood being refined is a foregone conclusion. Even the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King cannot wipe out all the elemental foxes in the entire continent.
The silver dragon fell into a deep sleep and was powerless. Even if it woke up, it would not dare to use any divine power in order to guard against some threat from outside.
[That’s roughly what happened.]
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm summarized it.
[The elemental foxes refined the elemental power in the silver dragon's blood into their bloodlines, but it is not known whether the ancestors of the elemental foxes had a problem in the refining process, or whether they allowed their descendants to reproduce in large numbers in order to avoid the pursuit of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, thus consuming the original source... In short, when the individuals of the elemental fox clan reach the corresponding stage of cultivation, they have the ability to absorb elemental power, affect their own bloodlines, and thus complete the transformation, but after the transformation is completed, it seems that the possibility of enhancing cultivation has been lost. ]
Lost the possibility of improving your cultivation?
Zhou Qing doesn't think so.
The creatures in this world, including soul beasts, must also follow the law of evolution: adaptation.
This "evolution" of the elemental fox was completed by forced transformation through the blood of the Silver Dragon King. It was accomplished in one go and was not evolved over a long period of time.
Therefore, the main reason why the elemental fox loses the possibility of increasing its cultivation after completing its transformation may be that it has suddenly evolved into an appearance that it is not used to and has mastered an elemental power that it has never mastered before, so that it does not know how to continue practicing, thus creating the illusion that the elemental fox cannot reach the ten thousand year level.
As long as they have reproduced and thrived for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, the elemental foxes living in different regions should be able to slowly figure out a way of practice that suits their bodies after they have completed their transformation.
However, in the initial stage of metamorphosis, the elemental fox will be targeted by other predators because it cannot adapt to its newly transformed body in the first place...
According to the fact that the maximum lifespan of elemental foxes explored in successive versions of "Martial Soul Encyclopedia" continues to increase, it can be inferred that the elemental foxes that have completed their transformation are also slowly adapting to their transformed bodies, and some individuals who have lived long enough have also figured out the corresponding methods of cultivation.
and also--
When the silver dragon fell from the sky covered in blood, was it really true that only the ancestor of the elemental fox kept some of the silver dragon's blood for himself?
"Team number 30 wins!"
Zhong Dingxiu's voice brought Zhou Qing's thoughts back to reality.
On the field.
The members of Team 25 all fell down, unable to fight anymore. Team 30 was not much better, except for the great spirit master who was still standing, the other three spirit masters, two of them fell down, the remaining one was half-kneeling, and the other three spirit masters were all lying on the ground, unable to fight anymore.
"The next game will start in half an hour." Zhong Dingxiu took out a ball from the box: number 25. "The team that will play against team number 18 in the second half is number 25."
Captain No. 30 breathed a sigh of relief, called the two great soul masters who were half-kneeling to stand up, helped the others down, and sat cross-legged on the edge together to recover their soul power.
The captain of Team No. 25 struggled to stand up. She was the only one who could move at the moment. She could only grit her teeth and prepare to help the team members out of the venue one by one.
"Let's go help." Zhou Qing said, and he took the lead, walked into the venue, helped up a member of No. 25, and followed behind the captain of No. 25.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and Qingzhu Zhu also stepped forward to help.
Mo Hen hesitated for a while, but still walked over.
"We are rivals, right?"
Captain No. 25 looked at Mo Hen with a vigilant look, "Are you hoping that I will show mercy to your students?"
"Um... I actually didn't want to help." Mo Hen told the truth.
Zhou Qing: “······”Teacher Mo, there is a reason why you are still single!
Captain No. 25 is an adult female, single, of average appearance, and now she is injured. If they go forward to help, they will definitely be able to win the favor of the entire team!
Captain No. 25 was stunned, and his eyes fell on Zhou Qing: "I thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect that you are really the core of this team."
"Ahem, I'm just the deputy captain." Zhou Qing was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying to Mo Hen, "Teacher Mo, please find a teacher in the academy to help treat them."
Mo Hen frowned and opened his mouth, then heard Zhou Qing say, "Our most important thing is to participate, and we will still pay Mr. Mo's share of the remuneration as agreed."
Mo Hen said unhappily, "Do I care about that little bit of money? Really, I was taught a lesson by my own students! Well, after seeing more in the arena, I will be more mentally prepared when I enter the world of soul masters in the future."
After a while, a teacher with a healing martial spirit was brought over by Mo Hen. He used his healing spirit skills to reduce the bruises and redness on the bodies of the members of Team 25 at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As for the recovery of soul power, this healing soul master from Notting College was unable to do anything.
"Thank you."
Seeing that most of the team members' injuries had recovered, Captain No. 25 sincerely thanked the healing spirit master of Notting College, but then turned to Zhou Qing and asked, "Are you really not afraid of losing?"
"Isn't it normal for us six-year-old kids to lose?" Zhou Qing asked back.
Captain No. 25 looked up and down at Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu and the others. He was silent for a long time before he said faintly, "Why do I feel like you guys don't look like children?"
