Monsters Die When Killed

’That’s odd. Aren’t snakes cold-blooded animals?’

Without giving it much thought, Su Zhou wisely backed down. "No, thank you. Lord Yara, please just tell me the most suitable Cultivation Method!"

"The cultivation of a True Body is all about the framework. No matter the Cultivation Method, it only provides you with a rough blueprint for the future. The details of that blueprint are for you to fill in yourself."

Yara was very reliable when acting as a teacher. It was currently analyzing the pros and cons of various Cultivation Methods for Su Zhou. "Different Cultivation Methods are like being given different canvases and mediums. The differences can be as vast as those between hand-drawing, sand painting, digital art, sketching, oil painting, and ink wash painting. As for you..."

With that, the Snake Spirit sent a very simple title and its corresponding content to Su Zhou. "This one is perfect for you."

"’Let me see...’" Su Zhou narrowed his eyes, focusing his mind’s eye. "’Spo...’"

"’*Spore*?’" He was suddenly a bit confused. "’That doesn’t sound like the name of a Cultivation Method.’"

"’Correct.’" Yara had a dead serious expression on its face as it gently bit Su Zhou on the shoulder and neck, drawing a little blood—after all, Yara was now a centimeter thick, and his earlobe was a bit too small. Then, it replied matter-of-factly, "’It’s an extremely foolproof, independent, and very free method for cultivating a True Body.’"

"’Its original name is the *Do-It-Yourself Custom True Body Cultivation Method*, abbreviated to *Spore*. So, Su Zhou, what do you think?’"

Su Zhou wanted to answer, ’I think this is a terrible idea; the negative influence on today’s youth would be immeasurable.’ However, after carefully examining this True Body Cultivation Method—which he suspected Yara had just named on a whim—he found it surprisingly viable.

’This Cultivation Technique, in essence, is about quantifying my current Spiritual Power and resources, then listing in detail what kind of combat body I can support with my present condition.’

’For example, my current Soul Strength and mastery over Spiritual Power mean I can handle a limit of around four thousand Zhou Buyi of Spiritual Power. Of course, my current total Spiritual Power isn’t even two thousand Zhou, but that’s limited by my physical body and daily stats. The True Body, however, relies on maximum stats, which means I have four thousand resource points. And if I wanted to create a combat True Body over twenty meters tall, the physical resources alone would cost between eight hundred and over a thousand Zhou.’

’And a Special Level Spiritual Power Organ like the Heart of the Thunder Marsh or the Five Spirits Colorful Feathers would cost five hundred Zhou each after being perfectly magnified. And that’s just for creating it alone. If I wanted to create the corresponding meridians and muscle transmission systems, it would probably require an additional one or two hundred Zhou of Spiritual Power.’

The more he thought, the more Su Zhou sensed both the freedom and the difficulty of this Cultivation Technique. He couldn’t help but frown. Then, amidst Elias’s astonished cry from the side—"Huh? Mr. Su, when did this little red snake appear?!"—he plopped down on the ground and began to meditate and ponder. ’Other True Body cultivation methods have a fixed framework. If you’re meant to cultivate a humanoid form, it’s humanoid. If you’re meant to cultivate an alien form, it’s alien. They also have strict aptitude requirements. If you don’t meet the criteria or your Spiritual Power Index isn’t high enough, you can never achieve the complete form.’

’But *Spore* is different. It doesn’t have a fixed form; it depends entirely on my needs. The only thing is, the specific combinations and abilities are all up to me to design. It really wasn’t wrong to call it a do-it-yourself character creator.’

But this actually gave Su Zhou an idea. If nothing else, as the prince of character creation in the Hongcheng gaming scene, when had Su Zhou ever been afraid of something like this? The characters he created, complete with their matching outfits, had won official competition awards in several online games. In this respect, he had plenty of confidence!

’The True Body I need must be specialized around my strongest aspect.’

Su Zhou could sense that after he defeated the Siege Giant Armor, there were few creatures left in the entire seventh level of the Maze that could threaten him. After all, a Maze couldn’t just infinitely spawn monsters. In the first half of the year, the previous Duke Naisel had annihilated three Elite High Rank Magical Beasts here. Now, he had just killed another. In less than a year, it was unlikely that the Maze could produce a fifth Elite High Rank Magical Beast.

Elias could also see that Su Zhou had been struck by a sudden insight and was now cultivating. So, the gray-eyed boy obediently squatted to the side, took out some dry rations, and began to eat. He hadn’t eaten a proper meal or slept since last night. He was just forcing himself to stay awake and was about to fall asleep.

Su Zhou enveloped him within the range of his spiritual senses to ensure his safety, then continued his cultivation.

’For the Garuda, the Defense Power from its Golden Feather and the powerful Attributeless Spiritual Power Source from the Pure Cyan Glaze Heart form its core Spiritual Power Organ structure. For the Peacock Divine Bird, its core is its Five-Colored Feathers.’

’As for me, it has to be the Heart of the Thunder Marsh and the Five-Colored Feathers. You can’t just stack Special Level Spiritual Power Organs; they are core power source-level spiritual structures. If they can’t be matched properly, they will just conflict with each other, leading to a massive drop in efficiency.’

Su Zhou’s deduction was very serious, and at the same time, Yara was also observing his cultivation with great concentration.

When it saw that the young man had become fully immersed in his cultivation in less than a minute while still maintaining a degree of alertness, it couldn’t help but nod slightly. It didn’t disturb him, but simply lay quietly on Su Zhou’s shoulder.
