Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 654: Chapter 311: What is the hopeless love for poppy!?_3
 

Fang Mu had made contracts with many Guardian Beasts, only bestowing names upon those without the capability to name themselves.

For any Guardian Beast intelligent enough to name itself, Fang Mu always respected their choice.

Given that this Evil Spirit had maintained its name over time, Fang Mu saw no need to erase traces of its previous life after forming a contract.

“Since you have a name, there’s no need for a change.”

“The name Liu Xi is quite pleasant.”

At Fang Mu’s praise, a smile appeared on Liu Xi’s face.

Earth Evil Spirits visually seemed almost corporeal, their appearance hardly differing from that of Hero Spirits.

Evil Spirits emanated a chaotic, impure soul power while Hero Spirits emanated a pure, sanctified light elemental energy.

If both Evil Spirits and Hero Spirits were to conceal their auras, it would be challenging for a common man to discern between them.

Liu Xi had eroded Huang Yuan’s soul while controlling him.

He had obtained Huang Yuan’s knowledge from his soul.

As the Federation Lord, Huang Yuan knew several profound secrets, hence, Liu Xi had some understanding of Hero Spirits.

Upon learning that Beast Masters gradually transform Evil Spirits into Hero Spirits, Liu Xi earnestly told Fang Mu,

“Master, if feasible, I would like to maintain the form of an Evil Spirit.”

“Please, don’t use light elemental energy to transform me into a Hero Spirit.”

Hearing this, Fang Mu raised his eyebrows.

In the words of Shui Miao and Qin Shao, turning an Evil Spirit into a Hero Spirit was an excellent decision.

The Witch School had done so for years.

However, from Liu Xi, Fang Mu could clearly sense a strong reluctance towards becoming a Hero Spirit.

This strong rejection even affected the contract between Liu Xi and Fang Mu.

In Fang Mu’s understanding, every being should strive for the path that is most beneficial to themselves.

The more potent the life form, the more apparent this was.

Given Liu Xi’s resistance against transformation into a Hero Spirit, there must be a reason behind it.

Fang Mu looked at Liu Xi, signaling him to explain the reason.

Seeing that Fang Mu didn’t forcibly transform him into a Hero Spirit, as described in Huang Yuan’s knowledge, Liu Xi quickly started to explain.

“Master, an Evil Spirit forms when a powerful entity dies and their soul absorbs impurities from the ground, gradually evolving.”

“This implies that the core of an Evil Spirit is chaotic and dirty.”

“Dark attribute beasts generally cannot be transformed into light attribute beasts.”

“Forcefully transforming a dark attribute Beast into a light attribute Beast can lead to its death.”

“People generally blame it on the collision of opposing elements, but in actuality, this isn’t the case.”

“It’s because a Beast’s body cannot handle the sudden energy shift.”

“However, since an Evil Spirit’s soul has been tried and tested, it can withstand the collision of elements.”

“People, in order to create contracts with Evil Spirits, subconsciously decide to transform them into Hero Spirits.”

“After an Evil Spirit transforms into a Hero Spirit, the energy within their body is replaced, but their original dirty, chaotic core remains unchanged.”

“The same chaotic and dirty power continues to exist within a Hero Spirit.”

“Those who have contracted with a Hero Spirit believe that they have the upper hand and use a light element potion to remove the dirty and chaotic power.”

“It may appear to maintain the strength of the Hero Spirit.”

“But if I remain an Evil Spirit, I could continually increase my power.”

“Yet, once I’m transformed into a Hero Spirit, my chance to ascend further ceases.”

Liu Xi realized his tone had adopted an edge of resentment and quickly adjusted his emotion.

Then, he smiled apologetically at Fang Mu.

He had made his point clear to Fang Mu; regardless of the decision, he had no choice but to obey.

Fang Mu’s doubts were alleviated upon hearing Liu Xi’s words.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Previously, Fang Mu held two unresolved questions in mind.

The first one was why Qin Shao stated that Hero Spirits couldn’t increase their strength.

In Fang Mu’s understanding, any life form capable of bearing power can continuously evolve and progress, if the right method is discovered. This had been proven through observation.

The second one was why, considering they could contract with Hero Spirits, the Witch School would spend resources in collecting powerful Evil Spirits from ancient battlefields instead of trading these resources directly with ancient heritage clans and powerful forces for Hero Spirits.

Liu Xi’s heartfelt complaint provided the best answers for Fang Mu.

Fang Mu was initially not particularly interested in Hero Spirits.

Since remaining an Evil Spirit was the best option for Liu Xi, Fang Mu had no reason to obstruct Liu Xi’s future.

Doing so would be a significant loss to Fang Mu as well.

“Liu Xi, you shared a lot of information that I was previously unaware of; in that case, I won’t transform you into a Hero Spirit.”

As he spoke, Fang Mu massaged his temples.

According to his initial plan, he would need to occasionally use light elemental energy to cleanse Liu Xi after her transformation into a Hero Spirit, merely to maintain her strength.

But now, Liu Xi, in her state as an Earth Evil Spirit, was a heavy consumer of the Soul of Death, much like Yan Yubanruo.

If Fang Mu wanted Liu Xi to progress further, he would need to gather a considerable number of Souls of Death.

The thought of collecting billions of Souls of Death to cultivate Liu Xi overwhelmed Fang Mu.

Despite how daunting, Fang Mu, having spent his previous life engaged in academic research, was not afraid of any challenges.

Sensing Fang Mu’s promise, Liu Xi’s face lit up with joy.

However, unlike Yan Yubanruo’s unrestrained enthusiasm, which had her throwing herself into Fang Mu’s arms, Liu Xi remained quietly cheerful by his side.

“When you go out later, continue to control Huang Yuan. As the Federation Lord, he can help me control the situation.”

“Liu Xi, how much do you remember from when you were alive?”

At his question, Liu Xi thought carefully for a moment before replying,

“Master, my memory is fragmented. Some scenes might trigger some dormant memories.”

“I only know that in my previous life, I was a seed of the Resolute Poppy.”

Hearing this, Fang Mu’s eyebrows furrowed.

The seed of the Resolute Poppy, that was indeed a novel title!

Could the Resolute Poppy be a Guardian Beast that emerged during the 5-6th Epochs?

But why would a seed, being a product of a Guardian Beast, transform into an Evil Spirit?
