Chapter 1045: Chapter 435: Su Ping: I Want to Fly Up to the Sky and Stand Shoulder to Shoulder with the Sun! (Part 2)
Zhu Hong nodded. "That’s right. If my guess is correct, it should be like this. The essence of this Ability involves a certain Rule of Ice, its potential is quite good."
Su Ping blinked; his mind was already spinning up:
"So you’re saying, if a flame could remain in a constantly burning state..."
"Su Ping..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when Zhu Hong already cut him off, shaking his head with a smile:
"It’s not impossible, but it’s not something we can accomplish. Elements differ from one another. Ice Element, Elemental Elf, they’re possible because in our atmosphere, in our living environment, there are already water molecules condensed there.
But flame is different. The condensation of flame is much more complicated. Just as condensing ice requires water, the burning of flame likewise needs fuel. Of course, among the energetic gases on Blue Star, there are also components that assist combustion.
However, the difficulty gap between the two is enormous, vastly so. Ice is sealing and solidification; it can pile up without being consumed. Burning, on the other hand, is constant consumption. The same goes for other Elements—their characteristic modes and the conditions under which they consume Energy are not the same..."
Su Ping didn’t speak again and instead fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Zhu Hong also didn’t say more, and together with Old Liu walked to the Icefang Whitewolf’s side.
Old Liu had also been listening to the earlier conversation between Su Ping and Zhu Hong.
He had little interest in delving into the subsequent changes in Elemental Attributes. He only knew that, from Master Zhu’s mouth, this Child of Frigid Winter Super-Rank Skill of the Icefang Whitewolf seemed extremely impressive!
"Old Liu, let us have a look at this Form of the Winter’s Child, shall we?"
Zhu Hong said with a smile.
Off to the side, Yin Luo and Jian Yue also nodded eagerly with anticipation.
To arrive and immediately witness an entirely new Ice Series Super Rank Skill—this was a rare spectacle.
Liu Fuhai swallowed a mouthful of saliva in excitement, then looked at his old partner. With a thought, a Wolf Howl rang out.
In an instant, the chill from before descended once more.
This time, however, no one cared about this powerless low temperature. They all looked together at the Icefang Whitewolf in this moment.
Right now, everyone finally understood what exactly the Form of the Winter’s Child looked like.
As expected, it was exactly that special form from the earlier Skill Fusion.
Ice Crystals condensed over its entire body, as though it had been carved out of pure ice sculpture.
In the sky, in this scenery of a July season, streaks of ice and snow drifted down, merging with the Icefang Whitewolf at this moment.
Then, on the Icefang Whitewolf before their eyes, a pair of wings formed from pure white frozen ice emerged.
Its entire being was elegant and beautiful.
Yet in the next instant,
"Bang"!
A crisp explosive sound rang out, so much so that even the always-silent Su Ping couldn’t help but be drawn by it.
Everyone clearly saw the Icefang Whitewolf vanish.
In its place, in the sky, appeared countless tiny Ice Crystal fragments, rhomboid in shape and extremely slender.
These countless Ice Crystal fragments were like razor-sharp blades, suddenly piercing forward. Accompanied by a frigid airflow, in the blink of an eye they appeared in front of Liu Fuhai.
Then, in less than a second, those innumerable shattered Ice Crystals reassembled into the Icefang Whitewolf in its Form of the Winter’s Child.
Zhu Hong nodded:
"Not bad. This Child of Frigid Winter state has given the Icefang Whitewolf an enormous boost in combat flexibility. This is a highly exploitable Ability. Old Liu, you must nurture it well!"
Liu Fuhai nodded; clearly, he was also extremely satisfied with the Icefang Whitewolf’s performance.
Zhu Hong continued beside him:
"If my guess is correct, Old Liu, you can continue to cultivate Absolute Zero for your Icefang Whitewolf, or an Ice System Super Rank Domain Type Skill.
These two Skills, combined with the combat power boost from this Child of Frigid Winter, will likely be astonishing! Even among future Emperor Level Pet Beasts, it will definitely be top-tier in combat strength. If it can evolve further..."
Zhu Hong did not continue, but the implications were obvious. Once such a path of Breeding was completed, the future of this Icefang Whitewolf could even overturn the value of the entire Snow Wolf Clan.
Of course, whether it was Absolute Zero or an Ice System Super Rank Domain Skill, neither was easy to cultivate.
Liu Fuhai nodded. He understood this, but there was no rush now. Advancing to Emperor Level, plus the Pet Beast’s growth, had even given Bai Ye’s race limit a substantial increase. This was a surprise upon surprise.
Even without having tested that Winter Storm yet, he could already sense the power of that Skill.
So, he was quite content for the moment.
Only Su Ping off to the side, even that sharp explosive sound from earlier hadn’t brought him back to his senses. He was still pondering the topic Zhu Hong had just brought up.
Could the Elemental Attribute of flame be maintained?
That, in itself, wasn’t too strange. The form of Fire-type Elemental Pet Beasts was usually maintained through flame behavior. But whether it was a Little Flame or some other Fire Elemental Pet Beast, they all needed to eat.
The Little Flame was one thing; this little fellow’s diet was comparatively extravagant.
As for other Low Level Fire Element creatures, if there were no Fire-type Resources for them to consume, their feeding became much rougher.
They used their own bodies to ignite other fuel, then after the resulting flames formed, swallowed them down, barely managing to fill their bellies.
This was precisely the demonstration of what Zhu Hong had just said: that fire’s burning requires fuel.
But those are Pet Beasts—Fire Elemental Pet Beasts with Life and consciousness.
What about controlled flames themselves?
Could they burn on their own? Or, to put it another way, without other fuel, relying only on the most basic Energy in the air, could they continue burning and grow stronger?
This sounded rather far-fetched, something fundamentally impossible.
To many Breeders, it might even seem meaningless. However, Su Ping knew that if it could be achieved, it would represent an unimaginable improvement for Elemental Beast Pets, especially Fire Elemental Pet Beasts.
Flame, Lightning—these Elements have huge consumption, great power, but short duration. If flame lacked these weaknesses, under ever-increasing high temperatures it could even melt space.
It was just that, from the mouth of an Elemental Breeding Master like Zhu Hong, this was something extremely difficult, nearly impossible.
But Su Ping did not think so.
On the contrary, he believed it was very possible.
From the perspective of myth, the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird in the legends of Dragon Nation commands Nanming Li Fire, which burns all things. Even without fuel, that flame can burn eternally.
Of course, myths are nebulous; who knows whether they were fabricated by later generations or truly happened?
And if we look at some Earth knowledge that Su Ping had learned before he transmigrated—knowledge he wasn’t sure could be applied to Blue Star—
the burning of flame requires the aid of oxygen. Many chemical equations involve this.
Of course, the forms of elemental Energy on Earth and on Blue Star differ in many ways; they can’t be fully mapped onto each other.
But in one regard, Blue Star in this Beastmaster Society era is similar to the Earth he remembers...
The burning of flame,
and the eternal burning of flame—is that truly impossible?
Or, a mode of burning with extremely low cost but extremely high ceiling—is that truly impossible?
All at once, Su Ping lifted his head, sinking back into thought.
Not necessarily, right?
Although it didn’t entirely match his idea and hypothesis, Su Ping still wanted to say:
If it truly couldn’t be realized, then what is that in the sky?
Icefang Whitewolf Bai Ye returned to its previous state, and in the clear sky, the Sun once more released waves of scorching heat.
Aside from its internal Energy supply, what additional fuel did the Sun need to burn?
He just didn’t know whether the Sun above Blue Star also followed an Energy conversion formula of Fusion.
Suddenly, Su Ping thought of a song.
He wanted to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sun.
He wanted to take a look at what the Sun’s Energy operation formula actually was.
