Beast Taming: the More the Better

At this stage, this was the greatest threshold for the Super-Rank Skill, as well as the most crucial step to truly unlock a brand-new Super-Rank Skill.

It seemed that the Five Elements Paper Diagram before him also understood what this moment meant.

Its radiance flickered and, at this moment, came to a halt.

In the stage where Water generates Wood, the green Wood Energy could no longer transform into fiery red.

The final conversion process from Wood to Fire took three full seconds, yet there was still no reaction.

These were the longest three seconds!

Not just Su Ping, Liu Fuhai, and Zhu Hong, but even Da Huang beside them held his breath in tension.

Da Huang was all too experienced with the previous explosion.

It was an explosion that had occurred at this stage as well.

And now, was it about to take action again?

After all, if his memory served him right, didn't the thing seem to shine just like this before the explosion last time?

At this moment, it was as if time itself was frozen.

Just as Da Huang was about to involuntarily unfold his defensive shell first, it was as if the flow of time had resumed. The previously non-flashing Five Elements energy began to slowly transition once more.

Red!

The fiery red on the Five Elements Paper Diagram was so dazzling!

So splendid and colorful.

It made the three onlookers feel dazzled and mesmerized.

Because what it represented, as Liu Fuhai had said over the phone, was the breakthrough of the fifth Grand Circulation!

It was also what Zhu Hong had predicted before: that perhaps after its formation, it would trigger a qualitative transformation in the Grand Circulation!

Energy value: 73,958!

The increase this time was even less than any of the previous times.

Not to mention ten percent, it was merely an increase of about five percent.

But the few of them had already grasped all the rules!

Zhu Hong let out a long sigh. "Just as expected. In such a Five Elements transformation, it is absolutely impossible to keep increasing indefinitely. The real perfection of the Five Elements' generation and control lies in the Way of the Five Elements, forming a truly flawless energy self-rotation. After reaching the critical point, the increase derived from the rotation moves the power towards the highest point of perfection!"

Su Ping and Liu Fuhai remained silent.

Looking at the Five Elements Paper Diagram that had ceased rotating, Su Ping suddenly said, "Then, what would happen if it continued to operate?"

The two of them were taken aback. Da Huang, on the side, glared disapprovingly at the kid.

Damn it, sure enough, this brat was up to no good.

But before the two could speak, or even before the Paperman's constructed Five Elements Paper Diagram began to attempt rotating again, Su Ping gave the answer. "When the qualitative change has reached its limit, yet the perpetual motion machine still operates, the energy produced will then transform back into an excess output of quantitative energy!"

Su Ping's words made them startle again, and then they suddenly looked towards the Five Elements Paper Diagram.

At this moment, just as Su Ping had said, after five continuous Grand Circulation rotations, the Five Elements Paper Diagram had reached its upper limit of endurance.

In fact, if this energy value were from an external attack, let alone over seventy thousand, even if it were halved, or reduced to a third, ordinary Five Elements Paper Diagrams, merely at the Commander Level, would find it very difficult to bear.

However, this was occurring within the internal rotation of the Five Elements Paper Diagram. Coupled with the absorption by the Heart of Elements, its energy output could withstand such an extent.

Of course, the most important factor was Paperman's special physique, as well as Liu Fuhai's dedicated enhancements to Paperman in this aspect after its Two-stage Evolution.

So, after Su Ping proposed the idea, Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai looked at him again and asked, "So, do you want to continue trying?"

The Grand Circulation of the Five Elements was complete, yet the Five Elements Paper Diagram before them didn't seem to have finished the Skill Fusion or showed any sign of awakening.

Since it hadn't, it was clear that the requirements to form the Super-Rank Skill had not been met.

"Continue!"

With Su Ping's command, no other instructions needed to be given. After the Five Elements Paper Diagram was pieced together, its relatively perfected soul and wisdom had already understood.

Thus, the rotation continued!

After perfecting the five Grand Circulation rotations of the Five Elements, the cycle of the Five Elements' generation and control continued.

Could it be as Su Ping imagined, that in such rotation, the amplification of energy power would begin to level off, and the excess energy would form a true perpetual motion machine of the Five Elements that didn't conform to the rules?

The puzzle was about to be revealed!

Above the Five Elements Paper Diagram, the fiery red power slowly faded away, but this time, the energy power fluctuations displayed on the Energy Detector showed almost no increase from the terrifying initial reading of over seventy thousand.

However, on the Five Elements Paper Diagram, from the earthen yellow part made up of the Earth Element Paperman, a purely Earth Element Energy slowly overflowed!

The next moment, this surge of energy directly formed the simplest of things!

Earth Spike!

PIERCE!

A row of Earth Spikes, powerful enough to penetrate the sturdiest steel city walls, instantly pierced through all the empty space in the room, excluding where the three individuals stood!

Clearly, the generated energy continued to be released!

"ROAR!"

Da Huang felt as if he was being challenged.

What in the world was this darn piece of paper!

How could it emit such destructive power at such a weak Realm, and it wasn't even the destructive power of an explosion!

This was enough to warrant his attention.

However, at this moment, the Five Elements Paper Diagram apparently paid no heed to Da Huang, its energy continuing to rotate.

Just as Su Ping had anticipated, with nearly every rotation, the quality of the energy would not improve. However, the vast amount of Energy Body that leaked out would suddenly erupt.

The previous five Grand Circulation cycles were a strengthening of the Energy Body!

However, it was only after five Grand Circulation cycles, once the energy rotation of the Five Elements Paper Diagram had thoroughly reached its absolute peak, that the cycling of the Five Elements' generation and control truly attained Perfection.

It perfectly conformed to what Su Ping had imagined—a vision of the Super-Rank Skill identical to that of Xue Hongluan from six hundred years ago.

Yet, at that moment, as the energy rotation of the Five Elements Paper Diagram was once again complete and the Grand Circulation, following the energy's qualitative transformation, occurred again: Earth Spikes, Fireballs, Water Waves, Thorns, and finally, Metal Spears—the Five Elements energies were deployed one by one. This turned the already precarious temporary laboratory into even more of a mess, and Da Huang's eyes revealed even greater shock.

On the Five Elements Paper Diagram's body, a glow that had never been seen before appeared!

Was that the glow of comprehending a Skill!?

The Super-Rank Skill of the Five Elements' generation and control seemed to have made its dazzling debut at that moment.
