Chapter 86: Sakura's Reincarnation
Originally, time should have passed quickly.
Just like the three months of intense closed-door cultivation and training for the entrance exam.
Often, while cultivating, practicing skills, or training for fitness, a day would pass in the blink of an eye.
However, this time.
It was already 3 PM when they returned from the freshman assembly, leaving only 8 hours until midnight.
Lin Chuan and his three Spirit Beasts all felt like time was dragging, every moment difficult to bear.
But no matter how hard it felt subjectively, in reality, it was still just 8 hours.
Enduring it, it eventually passed.
Late at night.
Even the various servant Spirit Beasts that could often be seen on the roads and mountains outside the manor had disappeared and gone to rest.
Inside the manor, in the underground Meditation Room, the same room where Lin Chuan had broken through and condensed his Spiritual Core yesterday.
Fruit was outside the door, faithfully performing her duty as a guard.
Her emerald green eyes, filled with extreme vigilance, constantly scanned left and right. Her two slender arms had already gathered Wood Attribute energy, ready to conjure a Bomb Fruit at any moment, as if some terrifying enemy might jump out, but there was none.
Inside the Meditation Room.
Lin Chuan, Sakura, and Wan Wan were standing by in full readiness.
The moment the time displayed on the electronic clock on the wall reached 00:00.
Lin Chuan suddenly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
The next second, he activated his Beast Master talent, the effect of Reincarnation of Rebirth!
It was completely different from the situation with inheritance.
When the effect of Reincarnation of Rebirth was activated, in Lin Chuan's mental consciousness sea, the Spiritual Core of Illusion Attribute suddenly became incredibly clear and real from its previously vague and intermittent state. It slowly rotated, transitioning from illusory to real, and strands of black and white unknown energy permeated out.
From Lin Chuan's mental consciousness sea, they entered reality.
Around Lin Chuan, like swimming fish, black and white unknown energies appeared, swirling and rotating.
They intertwined, constantly changing and expanding, eventually forming a 2-meter diameter black and white chaotic array. Under Lin Chuan's conscious control, it completely enveloped Sakura.
At the same time, as if sensing something, Sakura slowly closed her eyes and fell into a mysterious sleep.
This was not Master-level Sleeping, where the main consciousness is asleep but instinctive subconscious can still control the body.
This was genuine, complete sleep!
At this moment, all of Sakura's cells were dormant. Even if a skill with great power was used to attack Sakura, she would not sense anything.
Veins bulged on Lin Chuan's forehead, and a large amount of mental energy surged out like a flood.
"50%"
Lin Chuan said in a low voice.
What he meant was that merely activating the effect of Reincarnation of Rebirth had consumed half of his current mental energy.
One must know that Lin Chuan had now broken through to Tier 1 and condensed the Spiritual Core of Illusion Attribute in his upper dantian.
His mental energy was 15.8 times that of an ordinary Beast Master!
At this time.
Even though the Reincarnation was not yet complete, seeing this situation, Wan Wan fully believed it.
However, Wan Wan did not show any signs of excitement at this moment.
There was only absolute calmness. She was incredibly focused, recording every detail of Lin Chuan and Sakura, and instantly quantifying the 50% mental energy consumption Lin Chuan mentioned in her mind, deeply remembering this data.
Lin Chuan drank a bottle of mental energy recovery potion called BH2.
He bought this on the College/Academy's resource platform. It cost 1 academic point per bottle, and Lin Chuan bought a total of 10 bottles.
This was also Lin Chuan's biggest guarantee for daring to activate Reincarnation of Rebirth. If the Reincarnation failed, he could quickly replenish his mental energy.
Beast Masters who have not reached Tier 1 usually cannot use such potions, unless they have a special physique.
Ordinary Tier 1 Beast Masters who have just broken through can drink at most 3 bottles a day, otherwise, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain and spirit.
Tier 1 Beast Masters with a mental specialty can slightly increase the amount they drink, and how much they can drink varies from person to person.
Based on Wan Wan's data calculations for Lin Chuan's situation, his daily limit was exactly 10 bottles.
Of course, there are also mental potions that can be drunk without limit, have very low harm to the human body, and can even be used by Beast Masters who have not reached Tier 1.
However, such potions are usually refined using exceptionally precious Spirit Beast materials and spiritual plants that are heavenly treasures.
The College/Academy's resource platform had them, but his current academic points were not enough to buy even two bottles.
Moreover, that kind of potion usually has a very gentle effect and the amount of mental energy it recovers is not as good as this type of mental potion that can only be used in limited quantities daily. About 3 bottles are needed to equal the effect of 1 bottle of this type used daily.
After drinking a bottle of the potion, Lin Chuan's brain first felt a stinging pain, then immediately felt comfortable. The consumed mental energy instantly returned to 90% of the total amount.
Reincarnation of Rebirth.
During the Reincarnation, special materials can be used to make the Spirit Beast mutate after Reincarnation. This was something Lin Chuan instinctively knew when he awakened his talent, but he didn't know what kind of materials were considered special materials.
So, what Lin Chuan was going to try next was this.
First, Lin Chuan took out a dream stone, a top-tier Illusion Attribute resource among low-tier ones, and held it in his hand.
For Illusion Attribute Spirit Beasts below Tier 3.
This dream stone is undoubtedly the best growth resource.
Lin Chuan used the effect of Reincarnation of Rebirth to separate a strand of black and white energy to touch the dream stone and sensed it quietly.
The answer was no, there was no reaction.
In other words, this dream stone was not considered a special material that could assist in Reincarnation.
Lin Chuan immediately put the dream stone into his Beast Master space.
Wan Wan recorded this scene.
Immediately, Lin Chuan took out the low-level materials he had used for inheritance before.
The petals of the Purple Rose Beast and Bear Xiaowan's knitted bow tie. The result of the test was still no.
Finally, Lin Chuan took out the fairy spirit flower from the beginner gift package, the essence flower of Flower Leaf Leaf's final evolution form, Flower Spirit Immortal.
This time, under the touch of a strand of black and white energy, the fairy spirit flower reacted. As if being pulled, it floated up from Lin Chuan's hand.
It works!
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up slightly.
He didn't immediately use this fairy spirit flower as a Reincarnation assisting material. Instead, he immediately grabbed it and put it into his Beast Master space.
Lin Chuan then took out another item, a small fish scale decoration containing the Water Attribute skill Vortex, which he hadn't used for inheritance yet.
It works!
Finally, Lin Chuan took out a feather. This feather didn't contain any skills but had a large number of memory fragments. It was the same kind of thing as the combat experience he had given to Fruit before. These were memory fragments about flying skills from a Fierce Wind Falcon that had soared in the sky for many years.
The feedback from the sensing was that it could also be used as an assisting material for Reincarnation!
Lin Chuan pondered and then spoke.
"Only Spirit Beast materials containing enough memory fragments are considered special materials and can be used to assist during Reincarnation."
Having reached this conclusion, Lin Chuan stopped experimenting randomly.
Putting away the feather and the small fish scale decoration, Lin Chuan took out the fairy spirit flower again.
For the first Reincarnation, it's better not to play too many risky moves. Using the Flower Leaf Leaf lineage as the assisting material is safer.
Lin Chuan felt fortunate in his heart.
It was thanks to his sudden thought earlier that he hadn't directly inherited the fairy spirit flower to Sakura but kept it until now to see if it could be used as a Reincarnation assisting material.
If he had used the fairy spirit flower as a skill inheritance item first, he wouldn't be able to use it as a Reincarnation assisting material now.
The black and white mysterious energy wrapped around the fairy spirit flower in Lin Chuan's hand, pulling it to float slowly and fly above the black and white chaotic array covering Sakura.
The fairy spirit flower was above the array, and Sakura was below the array.
The array rotated continuously like a millstone.
In an instant, the fairy spirit flower turned into powder, passed through the array, and under the wrapping of the black and white energy, it merged into the body of the Sleeping Sakura.
The veins on Lin Chuan's forehead bulged again, and his face turned pale.
"60% mental energy consumption!"
After saying that, Lin Chuan drank another bottle of mental energy potion.
That's enough, no more assisting materials can be added. At this moment, this intuition surfaced in Lin Chuan's heart.
Since that was the case, Lin Chuan no longer hesitated and instead pushed forward the process of Reincarnation.
The black and white energy surged out, pushing the black and white array covering Sakura to rotate at a faster speed, and countless black and white mist surged into Sakura's body.
Sakura's body shrank little by little.
The two pink and white flowers on her head withered, and the tender, fair skin on her body dried up and finally cracked, as if all nutrients and energy had been drawn out and sucked dry.
Ten minutes later.
When Lin Chuan's total mental energy was only 10% left, it finally ended.
The black and white array slowly disappeared.
In the position where Sakura had been, only withered flowers and plant skin fragments were left on the ground, along with an oval-shaped seed about the size of two fists among them.
Undoubtedly, this was a Flower Leaf Leaf seed.
However, the specific appearance and many details were different from the Flower Leaf Leaf seeds Lin Chuan remembered seeing on the Farm.
Ordinary Flower Leaf Leaf seeds have a dull brownish-green surface with a strong plant texture.
However, this Flower Leaf Leaf seed in front of him.
The surface of the seed was pink and white, and the skin was not rough. Instead, it was smooth like a peeled egg, emitting a hazy glow under the soft light of the Meditation Room, as if it came with its own entrance effect.
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to stay alert, Lin Chuan walked over. Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the pink and white seed.
A pair of large, light pink eyes suddenly opened on the pink and white seed, startling Lin Chuan.
What the heck!?
Shouldn't the baby state be sleepy?
Sakura's consciousness woke up so quickly?
And shouldn't Flower Leaf Leaf's eyes be like black beans?
Why are they like the large, expressive eyes of Flower Spirit's form?
Moreover, the color of her eyes had also changed from the previous emerald green to light pink!
"Ying ying ying~"
Sakura made a sound, her voice ethereal and clear.
Holy cow, Lin Chuan was shocked again, she could actually talk.
Just like before, without needing Wan Wan to translate, Lin Chuan instinctively understood Sakura's 'Ying' language. She said she felt like she had slept for a very, very long time, but also like it was just a blink of an eye. In short, her consciousness was a bit confused.
Lin Chuan picked up Sakura and examined her closely.
Wan Wan also flew over at this time. She widened her eyes and pushed up her large round glasses repeatedly.
She stared carefully at Sakura.
Having memorized the essence of Lin Xuédòng's research data on Flower Leaf Leaf, Wan Wan was clearer than Lin Chuan, who was only half-knowledgeable, about Sakura's current specialness.
Wan Wan suggested that Lin Chuan immediately test Sakura's attributes and other data.
Lin Chuan nodded and stopped teasing Sakura, who was in seed form and didn't have hands or feet yet.
He immediately used the various instruments already prepared in the Meditation Room to test Sakura's energy intensity, attributes, bloodline rank, and various other data.
Seeing the final test results.
Lin Chuan kept gasping, making a huge contribution to the greenhouse effect that others couldn't compare to.
----
Sakura (First Reincarnation)
Mutated Flower Leaf Leaf.
Illusion Attribute and Wood Attribute.
Bloodline Rank: General Tier Middle Level.
Actual Level: Tier 0 Level 3.
----
Her bloodline rank dropped from the previous General Tier Upper Level in her Flower Spirit form to General Tier Middle Level.
However, one must know that the current Sakura is in her Flower Leaf Leaf form! Compared to the ordinary Flower Leaf Leaf's Soldier Tier Middle Level bloodline rank, she has directly crossed a major tier!
If she evolves into Flower Spirit again, based on the normal situation, wouldn't she be Commander Tier Upper Level?
It's even highly possible she could be Lord Tier! After all, with an increased initial potential, the limit she can break through to after evolution is higher.
If she evolves into Flower Spirit Immortal again, wouldn't she be Wang (King)-Rank!?
A Spirit Beast with Wang (King)-Rank bloodline is a truly top-tier existence!
Furthermore, Sakura's initial level is not Level 1, but Level 3!
It is said that Spirit Beasts of the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin Clan, and some high-rank bloodline Spirit Beasts, Wang (King)-Rank and Emperor-Rank, unlike other ordinary Spirit Beasts who are only Level 1 when born, those high-level Spirit Beasts have Tier 2 or even Tier 3 strength as soon as they are born.
Sakura hasn't reached that level, but now, just after Reincarnation back to her initial form, she is already Level 3, comparable to the previous Wan Wan.
Clearly, Sakura is no longer an ordinary Spirit Beast.
"Sakura, do you still remember all your previous skills?"
Lin Chuan asked.
"Ying ying ying~"
Sakura's answer was yes, but she is still in the juvenile stage and cannot use them temporarily.
Moreover, it's not just those previous skills, but also the Combination Skill from that fairy spirit flower!
For a moment, Lin Chuan fell into silence.
So, the two effects, inheritance and Reincarnation, are not completely separate. Does Reincarnation include inheritance?
Perhaps even more than that, using inheritance alone cannot inherit skills across attributes.
For example, Sakura couldn't inherit the Water Attribute Vortex.
But!
Reincarnation can!
Is this adding a new sub-attribute to the new form after Reincarnation?
At this moment, Lin Chuan finally realized how terrifying and shocking his Reincarnation of Rebirth talent was. Aside from his own few Spirit Beasts, he must never reveal it to anyone else, including his family and parents!
Just then, Lin Chuan suddenly noticed his sleeve being gently tugged.
Looking down, Lin Chuan saw.
Wan Wan had taken off her big round glasses, tilted her head up at a 45-degree angle, and her large, pitiful, teary eyes were looking at him.
"Mas- Master."
"Please, Wan Wan is willing to do anything."
