Chapter 155: Becoming a Dragon Knight for Once
However, as the saying goes, being stubborn is the human norm. Although Bai Yu was feeling a bit weak-kneed earlier, he couldn't possibly back down verbally.
"Of course, I know you won't attack me. When I was about to leave just now, I did remember something I hadn't finished, but there's no rush. Since you want me to stay, I'll stay for now and study Ziji."
Gu Yuena chuckled and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Heh, stop talking nonsense here. Hurry up. I still want to see how this Spirit Power Operation Route is carved out."
Ziji rolled her eyes at this point. She really didn't want to deal with this guy, but since Gu Yuena had spoken, she had no choice.
"How do I do it? Do I just stand still?"
Hearing Ziji's question, Bai Yu's eyes also showed a hint of confusion. Before, he had only studied Spirit Beasts. He had never tried a fierce beast that could transform into human form, and he didn't know if it would work.
"Uh, stretch out your hand. I'll try first. The Spirit Power Operation Routes I've carved before were all for beast forms. This is my first time with a human form."
"By the way, after you transformed into human form, did you feel any changes in your own Spirit Power Operation Route?"
"If there's a change, then Spirit Beasts that transform into human form might not be able to have a Soul Convergence Seal made, and you'll need to revert to your true form."
Ziji blinked, a little confused. What changes? She had just heard about the Spirit Power Operation Route, and she didn't quite understand what it was.
She felt that besides not being able to fully exert her strength, there didn't seem to be any changes?
"What do you mean? What is a Spirit Power Operation Route? Oh, can't you just speak properly?"
Bai Yu's mouth twitched. While holding Ziji's hand and exploring her body with spirit power, he began to explain.
"In human terms, the Spirit Power Operation Route within a Spirit Beast is equivalent to our human meridians. Both serve the same purpose."
"You Spirit Beasts can also cultivate, not just rely on age growth. You know this. When you cultivate and release skills, the places where your spirit power passes are the Spirit Power Operation Routes."
Ziji's face showed understanding. She finally understood when he put it that way. After all that, it turned out to be the places where spirit power passed during cultivation and combat!
"Hmm, if I had to say there were changes, there are some. It's just that my strength isn't fully exerted, and the power of some moves, like dragon breath, has significantly decreased."
Bai Yu was also frowning tightly at this moment. After his investigation, the spirit power routes within Ziji's body were quite chaotic.
Some routes were sturdy and wide, with spirit power flowing like a mighty river, extremely fast, while others were narrow and small, incredibly illusory, as if they were patched on later.
"This won't work. You still need to revert to your true form. After transforming into human form, your Spirit Power Operation Route has already changed."
"It can be said that it's no longer the Spirit Beast's Spirit Power Operation Route, but has transformed into the form of meridians. As for you saying the power of your moves decreased, that's inevitable."
"Because besides the few routes needed for normal cultivation, which have perfectly transformed, all the others are fake, they are illusory."
"It would be strange if the power didn't decrease when you use beast-form moves in human form, and through fake meridians at that."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, both Gu Yuena and Ziji's eyes widened. So that's why the strength of fierce beasts decreased when they transformed into human form.
"That's not right. When I transformed into human form, my strength didn't decrease. Besides being a bit difficult to exert, everything else was normal. What's the reason for that?"
Gu Yuena glanced at Ziji, then looked down at herself, and then frowned as she asked Bai Yu.
Bai Yu clicked his tongue. To be honest, he felt like laughing a bit. Gu Yuena could ask such a foolish question, which really made him speechless.
"Hmm..., you're different. Although your external form is a beast form, you don't belong to Spirit Beasts, nor are you a human form. You are a divine body."
"In a sense, your body is not confined by form."
Gu Yuena's expression froze. After she reacted, her pretty face immediately flushed red, and she secretly cursed herself for being so brain-dead.
How could she be the same as Ziji? Although she was revered as the co-lord by the Spirit Beasts, she was a God King!
The five God Kings in the God Realm, strictly speaking, weren't humans either, yet they could still exert their full power in human form, couldn't they?
Then she stood up and waved her hand forward, and a spatial vortex appeared.
"Cough, let's not talk about this. Since you need Ziji to revert to her true form, this place is a bit small. Let's change locations."
Gu Yuena said while quickly entering the spatial passage.
Bai Yu and Ziji exchanged glances, a subtle smile appearing on their faces. They both saw Gu Yuena's embarrassment, but this matter couldn't be spoken of!
When the two of them also passed through the spatial passage, the scene before them immediately changed from Heaven Dou City to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Bai Yu scanned his surroundings and sighed inwardly, thinking how incredibly convenient it was. When he had time later, he would have to find a way to learn this stuff too.
He didn't believe that with the Law Codex, he would be stumped by spatial laws, would he?
"Ziji, revert to your true form. I'll see what changes there are then."
Ziji glanced at Bai Yu, then turned to look at Gu Yuena.
But Gu Yuena didn't want to speak right now. She was awkwardly wiggling her toes, trying to ease her embarrassment. She just nodded to Ziji and then walked aside to reduce her presence.
"Roar!"
Seeing Gu Yuena agree, Ziji let out a low roar, and her body transformed rapidly, changing from a delicate girl into a hundred-meter-long dark purple giant dragon.
Excitement flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. He immediately flew up and landed on Ziji's back, thinking how cool this mount was. Now he could be considered a dragon knight, right?
When Ziji saw Bai Yu land on her back, she involuntarily shivered, turned her head, and stared at him with her enormous dragon eyes.
"Bai Yu, get down from me! Who told you to stand on my back? Do you believe I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of dragon breath?"
Bai Yu was not only unmoved by Ziji's warning, but he even sat down directly, placing his hands on the scales of Ziji's back, and said:
"Don't be so agitated. I can't help it. Your current size is too big. I need to infuse spirit power into your body, covering your whole body. Being in the middle of your body will make my consumption a bit less."
As soon as Bai Yu opened his mouth, it was full of lies, because even in the middle, the consumption wouldn't decrease; it would be the same.
Ziji huffed two angry breaths and turned to look at Gu Yuena, a hint of pity in her eyes.
She wanted Gu Yuena to speak up and agree to let her drive Bai Yu off, but unfortunately, Gu Yuena's eyes were currently darting around, trying to relieve her embarrassment, so she had no time to bother with Ziji.
Then Ziji helplessly exhaled a puff of black mist, closed her eyes, and lay down on the ground.
Bai Yu was taking advantage of the situation; her master wasn't managing him, so let him do whatever he wanted. Out of sight, out of mind!
After Ziji quieted down, Bai Yu didn't mess around either. His spirit power surged, flowing from his hands, and he began to explore the spirit power routes within Ziji's body.
