Star Sky Professional-Chapter 663 - 561 Wilderness Transformation

Time flies.

As the month draws closer, the atmosphere in the valley becomes increasingly oppressive and brutal.

Occasionally, theft and private robbery have started to occur.

If not for the presence of the steward disciple maintaining order, it could have turned into a battle royale.

By this time, everyone has many blood papers in hand, and it’s the wealthiest moment for all.

The papermen are desperately guarding their fortunes while glaring jealously at others’ possessions.

The most outrageous among them are Xing San and his group!

On this day.

Fang Xing glanced again at the progress of the All-Complete Hand, sighing deeply, knowing he can’t master the Ten-Perfect Hand anytime soon.

He took out a piece of blood paper, thinking with a hint of amusement, "Those outside think I have ten pieces of blood paper now, yet they have no idea... I only have this one."

Clearly, if he doesn’t run before this month’s task submission, he’s doomed.

Yet Fang Xing isn’t panicking at all.

According to the attribute bar’s progress, he can surely advance to Level 2 Druid before the task day.

"It’s time to boost my combat power a bit."

Fang Xing took a deep breath, stretching his hands, now paler and more delicate.

His palms are vastly different from before.

Ten fingers flex smoothly, strong and powerful, pressing continuously onto the blood paper.

Blood paper is a specialty of the Blood Shadow Sect, the end product tough like cowhide, unbreakable despite countless folds.

But now, under Fang Xing’s pressure, the edges started to thin, looking sharp as a blade.

Fang Xing’s hands move like a bat, almost invisibly, folding the blood paper dozens of times in a short period, gradually forming a small dagger.

Suddenly!

His expression changed, sensing a rebound force from the blood paper.

The now-formed ’paper dagger’ feels like it’s about to shatter into countless paper scraps.

"Indeed... I have to reach this step."

Fang Xing sighed, then bit his tongue hard and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto it.

This essence blood containing plant essence Qi caused his face to turn pale immediately.

But the blood light on the ’paper dagger’ stabilized instantly.

"Success!"

Fang Xing reached out, gripping the dagger’s handle, sensing it quietly.

The paper dagger looked as if carved from white jade, without a single flaw, and the blade glows with a layer of blood light.

Though it feels light in hand, if Fang Xing releases it slightly, the dagger drops to the ground, partially sunk into the earth!

Holding the paper dagger, he barely felt any weight.

With a slight swing, a nearby wooden board lost a corner, the cut smooth as silk.

"Such a divine weapon, cutting iron like mud, slicing hair without effort is just ordinary..."

"More importantly, I faintly feel it hasn’t been refined to the extreme yet..."

Fang Xing stroked the paper dagger, recalling the information he sensed earlier.

"Earlier, I burned more than a year of longevity and directly turned the failing refining process into a success... and I have a hunch, if investing over ten years of longevity, it can become a true ’magic artifact,’ creating a thread of connection with my mind, allowing for flying sword attacks... If daring enough to invest a hundred years, the power of this ’paper dagger’ will soar... But, once in others’ hands, it still remains ordinary, losing much of its power..."

"Bah! What kind of seductive vixen is this, trying to cheat me out of my longevity?"

Fang Xing glanced at the attribute panel, the 22 years limit on longevity sobered him instantly.

"Cultivation is for long-life freedom, not to become a short-lived ghost..."

Placing the paper dagger in his bosom, Fang Xing stepped out of the wooden house, heading to the dining hall.

"Damn it..."

Suddenly, a heartrending scream reached his ears.

Fang Xing’s expression changed, recognizing it was Peach Red’s voice.

He immediately went to Peach Red’s wooden house, finding Peach Red disheveled, sitting on the floor with vacant eyes.

Such a situation, one look tells him what happened.

"Peach Red... You..." Fang Xing stepped forward to help Peach Red up.

"Those bastards, I tried to join forces with them, but they watched as I got robbed!"

With her hair in disarray, Peach Red ignored her image completely: "It’s Xing San, it’s definitely him! I’m going to report him to the steward disciple!"

Mentioning this, the papermen around immediately changed their expressions, with some even stepping back, clearly not wanting to get involved.

Seeing this, Peach Red couldn’t help but feel desolate; even though she used her looks to win over a few, they still turned into timid quails in the face of danger!

"Fang Xing!"

Suddenly, she spotted Fang Xing, her eyes lighting up: "Please be kind, lend me a few blood papers, I’ll pay you back double next month! Last time, you were beaten half to death, I treated your wounds..."

Fang Xing couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He truly didn’t have blood paper on him, plus, his Druid senses detected a few prying and malicious gazes on the outskirts of the crowd.

"I..."

He feigned being lost for words, then averted his gaze, seemingly unwilling to meet Peach Red’s eyes.

"Heh..."

Peach Red’s expression instantly turned gray and defeated.

...

"Heh..."

Xing San heard the report from a few subordinates, a smug smile appearing on his face: "Indeed, now they are all like fat sheep, not daring to fight desperately, as long as we don’t target them specifically..."

"Let’s pull off a few more jobs, this month’s quota will be sorted..."

"Boss, won’t this be noticed by the Upper Sect?" The second-in-command voiced some concern.

"What are you afraid of? Our big head all goes to the top, and we’re not openly robbing. As the saying goes, catch the thief and get the stolen goods... If they want to catch us, where’s the evidence?"

Xing San comforted a few words, but he knew clearly in his heart that this was actually just fooling the devil.

The steward disciples are just shepherds; losing a few sheep occasionally is fine, but if the entire flock is to perish, watch the people above jump.

’Sorry, brother...’

Xing San looked at his brother, thinking secretly: ’The escape route is figured out, but their asking price is too high. With our crazy offenses, the proceeds can only send one person away... Brother, you’ll have to endure a few more months here...’

Though we are brothers on the path, how can we truly share our hearts and souls?

Backstabbing two knives is the norm!

...

Two days later.

Inside the wooden hut.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, with five hearts facing the sky.

In the void, one by one, particles of green light constantly approached him, carrying a sense of closeness...

Lines of prompts emerged:

[You have cultivated once and acquired ’Natural Baptism’! You have gained some ’Natural Knowledge’!]

[Druid Profession increased to Level 2! Acquired ’Wilderness Transformation’!]

Bang!

Fang Xing’s mind shook violently, feeling his strength grow more powerful again.

The Druid’s progression even drove the Qi Sense cultivation, making himself stronger and more perceptive.

Of course, the most critical thing is... obtaining the [Wilderness Transformation] talent!

[Wilderness Transformation: You can transform into a kind of wild animal and acquire all its abilities!]

[Currently available forms: Carp, Sparrow, Field Mouse, Owl, Badger!]

...

Fang Xing carefully looked at these options, turning into individual animal icons, connecting his thoughts to obtain certain information.

"Directly exclude rodents... Transforming into a bird is indeed very good, but not suitable now."

He had long seen through the weakness of the Paperman Technique, choosing to escape from the river.

At this moment, he hesitated no longer: "Choose—Carp!"

[You acquired ’Carp Transformation’!]

The attribute bar remained as concise as ever.

But the next moment, Fang Xing’s eyes seemed to show a pond.

He himself turned into a black-backed carp, flicked his tail, and fell into the pond.

Splash!

Water splashed.

While swimming freely, a series of information emerged:

"A carp transforms into a snake in ten years, into a python in a hundred years, into a flood dragon in five hundred years, into a dragon in a thousand years!"

Splash!

The pond churned, and it seemed a giant snake-like tail was causing chaos amid countless splashes.

Then, a peculiar flood dragon flew out, soaring upwards, thunder and rain roaring!

"This is..."

Fang Xing suddenly acquired more inherited information about [Wilderness Transformation].

"I see. [Wilderness Transformation] counts as the core skill of the Druid animal domain, perfect for transforming into a biological form... acquiring all its abilities."

"After I chose ’Carp Transformation,’ although I can study other forms in the future, it will undoubtedly center around ’Carp Transformation’... This skill, at Level 5, can be upgraded to ’Fish Demon Transformation,’ not only increasing size but also mastering some pseudo-spell abilities..."

"When a snake enters the water, it becomes a hydra, and on the mountain, it becomes a python... Once my Druid level reaches Level 10, I can transform into either the water hydra or mountain python form..."

"At Level 15, I can master ’Flood Dragon Transformation,’ with the Flood Dragon being a young dragon... allowing me to grasp a trace of dragon nature..."

"And then there’s the Level 20 Legendary Stage, where I can master ’Flood Dragon Transformation’... soaring through clouds, bringing rain... simultaneously possessing the formidable physical combat abilities of a flood dragon, one paw can probably kill a Dao Foundation Realm... "

And the so-called ’Dao Foundation Realm’ is already the most powerful cultivator known by the original body.

"Feels a bit like an ancestral return, I’m curious what mythological creature template awaits if I choose the mouse or sparrow forms in the future..."

Fang Xing felt a bit itchy, longing to immediately find a river or lake and transform into a carp to swim within.

"Something’s not right..."

He was first somewhat obsessed, but quickly realized something was amiss.

Based on acquired inheritance and natural knowledge, he immediately understood that although [Wilderness Transformation] was powerful, it carried certain hidden risks.

One must tame the beast nature as a wild animal rather than be driven by wild instincts and become a beast.

Fortunately, for him, this was incredibly simple.

Fang Xing even felt that with his mental will, even if he mastered ’Flood Dragon Transformation’ now, he could immediately grasp it and be skilled at freely transitioning between human and flood dragon forms.

He glanced at the attribute bar:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 16/26]

[Profession: Druid Level 2]

[Realm: Qi Sensing First Level]

[Talent: Natural Affinity, Wilderness Transformation]

[Skill: All-Complete Hand (Beginner 53/100)]

...

"Good, the lifespan limit has increased again..."

Fang Xing opened the wooden hut door, glanced at the moonlight, and couldn’t help sighing: "The moon is dark, wind high, a perfect time for killing..."
