Wen Yu's research on souls had reached a rather profound level.
Now, Wen Yu's skill enhancement no longer required assistance from the soul realm space—except for permanent enhancements like those needed for Yahagi, the rest, such as the Chapter of Flesh and Blood, Reality and Illusion, and the conversion between the two, Wen Yu could achieve by "tearing."
He directly tore skills from his spirit pet and pasted them onto himself!
This method was much more efficient. Although there was a time limit, with the improvement of his strength, this time limit had now been extended to ten days or half a month. It was definitely enough for a great battle.
In other words, even if the one-eyed beast could not enter the soul realm space, as long as it remained by Wen Yu's side, his skill system would not be significantly affected—this was something Wen Yu had figured out before the transformation began.
There were certainly inconveniences, but they were insignificant.
While Wen Yu was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed that the one-eyed beast's body was slowly shrinking, until it was less than fifty centimeters tall and lay like a pet on Wen Yu's thigh.
"Well, this is more convenient to carry..."
Seeing the one-eyed beast shrink, Wen Yu was initially delighted, and then his gaze slowly brightened.
"Can it shrink even smaller?"
Hearing Wen Yu's question, the one-eyed beast lifted its head and gently nodded. Then, accompanied by a flash of silver light, its body shrank to the size of a fist.
As a high-level mutated creature, it had to master three major states: mini state, regular state, and combat state. The one-eyed beast was already able to change its size at will by the time it reached level four. Moreover, now that its "main body" was composed of its former bones, brain, and the organization of the mechanical nemesis, it could even shrink smaller than before!
"Smaller."
The one-eyed beast shrank to the size of a ping pong ball.
"Smaller!"
It shrank to the size of a thumb.
"Smaller!"
Finally, it shrank to the size of a fingernail, and Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the one-eyed beast, which appeared confused, and carefully lifted it into his palm. After examining it for a moment, he issued a new command to the one-eyed beast.
"Four legs, turn into a ring!"
The one-eyed beast immediately complied, and a silver-white ring, with a movable dog-head statue on top, was freshly created!
"This..."
The one-eyed beast surveyed its current body—it was the size of an ordinary ring, its four legs transformed into a circular shape, perfectly fitting Wen Yu's pinky finger, with its own body and head on top.
At that moment, the one-eyed beast finally understood Wen Yu's intention.
Turning the one-eyed beast into a ring to carry around... well, this seemed no different from keeping it in the soul realm space for easy access.
"Alright, just like that!"
Wen Yu said, gently putting the one-eyed beast onto his pinky.
Basking in the sunlight, Wen Yu leisurely admired his new accessory.
The silver shone brilliantly, exceptionally gorgeous, and of high class. Although it was not light, what did it matter to Wen Yu? He didn’t care about such trivial weight!
"Not bad."
Wen Yu nodded with a smile and then gently rubbed the ring.
"What do you think?"
The one-eyed beast was instantly speechless...
"As long as you're happy."
...
The one-eyed beast was naturally not very happy...
Damn, turning into an accessory, who would be happy about that?
However, given the current situation, the one-eyed beast knew this might be the best way to handle things.
It lowered its head, remaining silent, with its tiny sesame-sized eyes darting around—its body had shrunk, and the world had grown larger; this perspective was indeed interesting...
Alright, the one-eyed beast was definitely taking the spirit of Ah Q to the extreme.
Until the occasional sharp pain began to rise from its soul, the one-eyed beast trembled slightly, but the familiar pain brought tears to its eyes.
