Chapter 555: Chapter 278: The Three Top-Level Pollutants!_2
Right after Shui Miao finished advising him, Fang Mu felt a bit awkward asking him such a question.
But he had no other choice, as behind him there was no real Grandmaster Creator.
Aside from Shui Miao, he could not get any answers elsewhere.
Fang Mu had already decided to trade all these pollutants from Shu Liangjun, and then select one of the three special-grade pollutants to form a contract.
So, it was crucial to ask for details first.
Having been in contact with Fang Mu for so long, Shui Miao well knew of his strong curiosity.
He had already given all the necessary advice, and if Fang Mu really wished to form a contract with a pollutant, he would certainly need to report to his master.
In Qixing’s capacity, she would surely be able to dissuade Fang Mu.
Therefore, Shui Miao simply told Fang Mu about the cultivation of special-grade pollutants.
“For a special-grade pollutant to advance in grade alone, it just needs to devour other pollutants to gain pollutant energy.”
“But the enhancement of a pollutant’s strength does not depend solely on the rank, just as a Guardian Beast’s strength has a strong relation to its quality.”
“As a special-grade pollutant rises in ranks, the strength of the pollutant source within it increases.”
“When the pollutant source becomes strong enough, it can be used to contain and assimilate other pollutant sources.”
“With each pollutant source absorbed inside the pollutant body, a new pollutant function is added, but pollutant sources cannot be absorbed at will.”
“Only those that can amplify and synergize with each other should be absorbed.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu revealed a look of understanding on his face.
So, that’s how it is!
At this moment, Fang Mu finally understood the connection between the pollutant source and the pollutant in Sacred Radiance Bone Fragment under the Eye of Omniscience.
Seeing Fang Mu’s expression, Shui Miao immediately sensed that Fang Mu had previously encountered information related to pollutants, but he lacked the specifics.
Many Grandmaster Creators enjoy studying pollutants and pollutant sources; Qixing is likely one of them.
“Shui, how many special-grade pollutants do people from Ancient Genesis generally engage in contracts with?”
Upon hearing this, Shui Miao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“I have never heard of anyone being able to contract with two special-grade pollutants at the same time.”
“One special-grade pollutant is already enough to drain all emotions from a Beast Master.”
“Normally, those from Ancient Genesis only form contracts with a single pollutant, then have this pollutant devour as many pollutant sources as possible.”
“Once special-grade pollutants are cultivated, all of their abilities become extremely strange, often relating to the mind, spirit, and soul, making them hard to defend against in battles.”
“This is why Ancient Genesis has a higher risk rating than the Evil Heart Sect and the Eternal Alchemy Association in the Ten-thousand Nations Federation.”
Fang Mu nodded and didn’t continue asking Shui Miao about pollutants.
Instead, he looked at the other special-grade pollutant in the Dingkun Soft Gold Tray.
[Pollutant Name]: Vicious Lust Silk
[Pollutant Category]: Enhancement
[Pollutant Grade]: Silver (3/10)
[Pollutant Element]: Metal
[Pollutant Potential]: Gold
[Beast Quality]: Special-grade
Pollutant Source:
[Love Lost Heart Seed]: A girl abandoned by love thought she found her soulmate, but was used and discarded by him. Her death was full of love, yet full of pessimism towards affection, this love-filled but pessimistic emotion corroded her pure heart into a heart seed.
Polluting Function:
[Affectionate Guardian]: It pollutes the target’s emotions through the silk, causing attackers attacking the specified target to perceive their enemy as the person nearest to their hearts.
Upon deeper examination, Fang Mu discovered that both the functions of the special-grade pollutants, Sacred Radiance Bone Fragment and Vicious Lust Silk, target the mind and desire.
The Sacred Radiance Bone Fragment brings out the evil thoughts in a target’s heart when attacking, making the target release all its evil thoughts.
All intelligent beings possess these evil thoughts.
The greater the intelligence of a being, the more evil thoughts it tends to have.
When the evil thoughts are released, the being would enter a state of madness. In the lightest case, the target would easily reveal openings in combat; in the worst case, the target would completely lose control.
Vicious Lust Silk pollutes a being’s emotions by making it have the sincerest feelings for a specified target.
To a man, the closest person could be parents, lover or close friend.
The deeper the emotion, the stronger the control over the being.
After all, it’s hard to harm someone who you instinctively see as your parents, lover or close friend, even when you know they are your enemy.
In a battle between powerful beings, a moment’s hesitation can turn the tide of battle.
This kind of ability that targets emotions and the soul indeed appears more cunning than abilities that target elements and the physical.
The Vicious Lust Silk appears as a half-transparent light blue thread, which seems unremarkable.
When the pale golden Sacred Radiance Bone Fragment uses the pollutant function [Evil Radiance Temptation] to mimic forming bone chains, it resembles the traditional Viper Sword.
Special-grade pollutants are very hard due to the pollutant sources they have devoured. Weapon-grade special pollutants can be regarded as offensive Ghost Devices to some extent.
