Under the ominous, blood-red Sharingan's threatening gaze, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm kept quiet.
But judging from the curious look it occasionally gave Su Chen, it still hadn't given up on those strange questions.
It's finally much quieter now.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen, who had been feigning sleep, slowly opened his eyes.
He gently clenched his fist, feeling the familiar sense of power, and let out a soft breath, feeling much calmer.
Chakra wasn't fully restored, but it was barely enough to unleash a few Shadow Clone Jutsu and a Transformation Jutsu that lasted a long time.
After this crisis, Su Chen finally realized what his real weakness was.
That is, insufficient chakra.
The Sage Body grants him a significantly higher amount of chakra than others, and his recovery speed and growth rate also far surpass those of others.
However, his immortal body was not fully awakened, and his own abilities were all mana-intensive.
The Dragon's Armor provides a significant boost, but it is also consumed very quickly.
The Eight Gates may sound similar to taijutsu at first glance, but its chakra consumption rate is consistent with its S-rank forbidden technique status.
Other currently available ninjutsu, such as Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan, are only slightly less advanced than the former two.
Especially with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it's impossible to achieve hundreds or thousands like Naruto, since he doesn't have Kurama inside him as an infinite battery for power.
Even if you drain him dry now, he'll only have a few dozen at most.
If I were to cultivate immortal arts in the future, my thirty-second manhood would probably turn into a five-second manhood.
However, speaking of the Nine Lamas...
Su Chen pondered in his heart.
The essence of a tailed beast is an aggregate of chakra. The so-called infinite chakra means that the rate of recovery exceeds the rate of consumption.
While Naruto was fighting, Kurama was constantly replenishing his chakra within his body, thus achieving a healthy circulatory system.
So, can this technique of human Jinchūriki be applied to soul beasts?
If it's feasible, even if we can't reach the point of unlimited chakra, combining it with our Sage Body to turn chakra into chakra wouldn't be a problem, and we could even develop some more powerful combat modes.
For example, Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, Sage Mode: Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, and Armored Susanoo.
Thinking of this, the boy's eyes lit up.
If it really works, there's no doubt he'll develop a completely new power system!
"Did you think of something good? You seem so happy."
The curious voice startled the boy from his thoughts. Su Chen looked up and saw Tianmeng Bingcan staring at him with a thirst for knowledge on her chubby face.
"Hmm, one hypothesis. If it's feasible, then soul beasts and humans might be able to coexist peacefully."
The Jinchuriki mode is undoubtedly a power system that completely transcends the so-called spirits and spirit rings.
This system requires no prerequisites; even a newborn baby can become a Jinchūriki. As long as they can communicate and understand the Tailed Beast within them, they will possess considerable combat abilities.
Su Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Hmph, you're just bragging."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rolled its eyes and immediately lost interest.
I wondered what this guy was going to say.
I never expected it to be such a nonsensical remark.
The relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is a rather crude supply and demand relationship.
This has nothing to do with hatred, nor with stance. Unless the Soul Masters are willing to live as ordinary people and the Soul Beasts restrain their ambitions, no matter how many years pass, the relationship between the two will not ease in the slightest.
"Speaking of which, who exactly are you? You know me? But I don't remember you at all."
Tianmeng shook her head and asked with some confusion.
The kid recognized it the moment they met, but it wasn't an enemy.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out when he had met this person.
"To be honest, I was quite surprised too."
Su Chen said with some emotion.
His original intention was simply to find this energy source to see if he could prolong his hiding time, but when he got closer and saw the whole picture clearly, he was stunned.
Isn't that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm? What's it doing here?
But upon closer reflection, it seems that only Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can simultaneously satisfy the condition of having powerful energy but low combat strength, throughout the entire Douluo world.
This protagonist, one of the main characters from ten thousand years later, is a rare dual-attribute ice and mental beast with intelligence, but in essence, he is just a lucky guy who stole and ate a lot of rare and precious treasures.
But this cannot overshadow the immense role of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
It can be said that Huo Yuhao's future achievements are at least 60% attributable to this seemingly silly silkworm.
He had considered trying to snatch the deal earlier, but gave up after calculating the time.
I never expected to run into someone in a place like this.
"By the way, how did you manage to escape?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.
At this point in time, this top-quality rare treasure should still be in a dangerous place, being happily devoured by ferocious beasts—the kind of place even the three 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core circle aren't qualified to go.
"Hey, speaking of which!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm swayed happily and said excitedly, "It's all thanks to Big Brother! If Big Brother hadn't attracted the attention of Bear King and Crimson King, I wouldn't have been able to escape!"
Big brother?
Su Chen slowly typed out a question mark.
Does such a person exist?
How come he doesn't remember the original work mentioning any elder brother?
"He is a human, but not an ordinary human, and the Red King and the Bear King still haven't caught him!"
The eyes of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sparkled like stars. If it had forelimbs, it would probably be holding its hands and wagging its tail right now.
"Big Brother is simply a superman. If he survives, he will surely become a god. I, Tianmeng, will definitely follow him to the death!"
Su Chen's expression grew increasingly strange as he listened.
"If, I mean if, your older brother... cough cough, survives, how will you follow him?"
He asked.
"Hmph, kid, do you think I'm some ordinary soul beast?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smugly hummed, "Brother is the only one on the entire continent, a 990,000-year-old soul beast. As long as Brother approaches his breakthrough, I will voluntarily sacrifice myself to become Brother's Wisdom Soul Ring!"
This is really
Su Chen was both amused and exasperated.
It turned out that I had inadvertently become this guy's savior.
"However, this has nothing to do with you, a level 20 kid~"
It said in a very old-fashioned way.
"By the way, you still haven't answered me. How did you know my name? And how did you, a level 20, end up here? You..."
The round, plump ice silkworm asked, its heart suddenly skipping a beat.
Yes, yes, how could someone at level 20 end up in a place like this?
It first looked at Su Chen, whose body was tattered, then spread its mental energy to a distance, and then looked at the two ferocious beasts lying motionless on the edge of the area.
Considering that the first thing the boy said when he came in was whether it was possible to perfectly conceal his presence here, plus the fact that he had just finished a big battle.
Glug—
Looking into the boy's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't, Tianmeng Bingcan swallowed hard.
It looked at Su Chen, trembling, "Bear, Bear King and Red King, they're not chasing you, are they?"
