Chapter 392 This is huge! This is the real Greatsword Demon! Tree Stump Mutation
Chapter 392 So big... This is the real Greatsword Demon! A tree stump mutated into a wooden fish? Buddhism + Monkey = ?
The mutated seashell at Shuangrenmaru's waist began to wriggle rapidly, as if it were alive. The scene looked quite bizarre, even somewhat terrifying.
It's clear that the air bubbles on these shells are becoming more vigorous, then converging, much like water calming down after boiling...
Ye Yinchuan could almost deduce that this was a result of the calcium deficiency being replenished.
Just as the trait description foreshadowed, the shell quickly covered the body of the Twinblade Maru, almost completely enveloping it. To be more precise, it was no longer a shell, but a substance resembling white mud or slime!
Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen such evolution!
[It's alright, it feels similar to that phage-based product, it seems to be undergoing a metamorphosis!]
The comments section was filled with surprise.
The light of evolution grew even more intense, completely covering its original form and then, as if shaping it, transforming it into the outline of a Greatsword Demon...
But someone like Ye Yinchuan, who is familiar with the Greatsword Demon, can easily detect the peculiarity of its form!
"This posture..."
Although he was mentally prepared, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but widen his pupils when he actually saw the Greatsword Demon's new form.
The Greatsword Demon before him was neither its usual form nor the Emerald form he knew, but rather a form unique to this world, or rather, a unique form belonging to this Greatsword Demon!
Its body outline is the same as the Greatsword Demon, also a four-legged sea beast, but the area covered by its shell is significantly larger, as if it is wearing a heavy samurai armor. It is an extremely exaggerated design, and a BOSS-like sense of oppression is overwhelming...
Wow, just looking at that silhouette, it's terrifyingly powerful!
[This is the real Greatsword Demon! It has that demonic aura now!]
[Wow, if I could have a Greatsword like that, I'd be willing to become a professional trainer without even having to take the exam!]
"It went from a single horn to two horns? It's even more exaggerated in style, like a neon samurai helmet..."
Ye Yinchuan had some knowledge of Japanese samurai helmets. These helmets were called "dou" in Japan, and the exaggerated decorations on the dou, or the helmet itself, were called "ritomo" (立物), which can be understood as something standing up, and it was quite a vivid image.
The objects on the pockets come in all shapes and sizes, some very flamboyant, and some so abstract that they seem to be made up.
The famous warlord Honda Tadakatsu, hailed as the "greatest warrior of the Sengoku period," wore a deer antler helmet.
The oddly styled pockets, like those with a giant "love" character on their heads... reminded Ye Yinchuan of an old friend with dark circles under his eyes who had the character "love" written on his face. He wondered if this was the inspiration for it...
Even more laughable is the one where the entire pocket looks like a giant arm holding a vajra, making it hard to keep up.
Because the design prototype of the Pokémon Sharpshooter is a Japanese samurai, it is perfectly natural for Kabuto to make this special form of Sharpshooter even more exaggerated.
Besides the head becoming two horns, the Greatsword Demon's shell armor is also thicker and covers its entire body...
Compared to its regular form, this variant is clearly more defensively powerful, and its foot blades are directly exposed, eliminating the need for drawing the sword from its sheath...
At the same time, since there is no longer a need to "hide the knife", the foot blades have become more developed and exaggerated. For example, two sharp greatswords have grown on the sides of the forelimbs, without any curve or bend, and the main feature is a straight line.
[Wow, that's huge... This is a real Greatsword Demon!]
[Wow, this streamer is amazing! They've turned the ordinary into the extraordinary!]
So the question is, is there any possibility that this special form of the Greatsword Demon will be widely reproduced?
Is it stronger than a regular Greatsword Oni?
"Hmm... This is a rare genetic variant, and it's probably the only one of its kind at the moment."
Ye Yinchuan offered a brief explanation of the comments regarding the bullet screen.
In fact, he knew in his heart that if cloning technology were used, it might be possible to replicate on a large scale.
However, Pokémon cloning technology is not yet perfect and there are many potential problems. As a top streamer with such a large following, Ye Yinchuan cannot actively guide the process.
Speaking of cloning technology, Ye Yinchuan thought of the incident where he witnessed Mewtwo in the wild a while ago.
I also thought about the Dark Phoenix, and a vague unease crept into my heart...
But there's nothing he can do. It's not that he wants to sit in the livestream room and live a peaceful life, but he can only focus on livestreaming because it's the fastest way for him to improve his skills.
"As for whether it's stronger than a regular Claymore, it depends on how you interpret it. This special form of Claymore sacrifices speed for greater defense and strength. Combined with its Shell Armor ability, it's absolutely unbeatable in a simple head-on clash... Even at the same level, that Grass-Maker type Rumble Golem might not have been able to take it down..."
However, its drawbacks are also obvious. Because of its heavy armor, it can't develop agility like a normal greatsword demon. The greatsword demon's signature sword-drawing technique is also nonexistent for it… All it can do is rely on its heavy, blunt sword and overwhelming force!
[Got it. The regular greatsword demon is more of an assassin, aiming for a one-hit kill, while this greatsword demon is more of a warrior, relying on brute force!]
Ye Yinchuan nodded. Actually, there was also the Greatsword Demon in its Emerald Green form, which had not yet appeared. The Emerald Green Greatsword Demon was even faster; that was the true assassin.
Unfortunately, there are no cases to identify and analyze at the moment, but it's not a big problem. Even if it doesn't appear in the live broadcast room, Ye Yinchuan has plenty of energy and means to create one himself!
"Greatsword Demon, you truly are my one and only Greatsword Demon!"
The person holding the Greatsword Demon clearly adored it.
"Take it easy, don't run into the blade... The probability of committing suicide on a Greatsword Demon is low, currently zero, but it's definitely not going to stay zero forever."
Ye Yinchuan joked.
Seeing the Wireshark and Pokémon get along harmoniously is a form of self-realization and emotional value for him.
@大古:
[Host, could you help me identify my Thunder King Kong? Its wooden drum looks a bit strange.]
Ye Yinchuan quickly spotted another comment and promptly approved the application.
[That's strange, today it's either the Greatsword Demon or the Thunder King Kong Ape, what does that mean?]
[That's normal. After identifying the Pokémon here, trainers who have the same Pokémon are all eager to try it out!]
The host didn't explain much.
In fact, he deliberately chose these two Pokémon to connect with; it was a temporary theme for today's live stream. He wouldn't go off-topic unless there was something particularly shocking.
[Connection successful!]
With the prompt, a picturesque place appeared on the screen, and a giant gorilla sat cross-legged at the foot of the mountain by the stream, with its back to the camera.
For some reason, looking at the back of the Thunder King Kong, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of peace.
The person contacting them did not appear directly, but instead began to speak:
"Host, tell me, how much influence does the environment have on shaping Pokémon? Are humans, like Pokémon, able to accept, and even choose, how their environment shapes them, thereby gaining limitless possibilities?"
[Hiss... Hearing that sound, I felt as if the wrinkles in my brain were being smoothed out!]
[A master, absolutely a master!]
[I was watching an entertainment live stream, right? How did it turn into a philosophical discussion?]
Ye Yinchuan was also pondering the words of the person on the other end of the line. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
"The influence of the environment on Pokémon can be significant or minor. However, I believe that while the environment is a contributing factor, the essence lies in the inherent potential of the Pokémon itself, which allows it to take on a specific shape under the shaping influence of the environment... Humans, of course, can accept and choose the shaping influence of the environment, just like Pokémon... Just as some people can become scientists, and some can become fighters... But everything must adhere to the objective laws and essence of things!"
[Perfect, the streamer is my perfect mouth double!]
[What are you mumbling about? Could you show me this tree stump belonging to the Thunder King Kong? What makes it so unique?]
Isn't talent determined at birth?
"Streamer, you're definitely not your average streamer."
The person on the other end of the line sounded appreciative and understanding, as if they had found a kindred spirit.
"Then please examine my Thunder King Kong Ape and tell me why it underwent this change. Was it shaped by its environment, or was it inherently capable of this?"
Why does this sound so mystical?
Who cares? There are all sorts of birds in a big forest!
Ye Yinchuan watched the retreating figure of the thunderous golden gorilla and heard a steady, rhythmic thumping sound coming from the other end of the line. He already knew what was going on.
"If I'm not mistaken, you, the Thunderous Ape, have comprehended Buddhist teachings, and you... are you a monk from a temple?"
Hearing Ye Yinchuan's confident words, the person on the live stream who had originally intended to step forward with the camera involuntarily shook their lens slightly.
"How...how did you know? Was this also determined through testing?"
[666... So you're not even acting anymore? Before, you identified Pokémon, now you're identifying the people you're connected with too?]
[A humorous streamer asks, "Isn't it a bit too abstract to connect Pokémon with Buddhism?"]
"This deep mountain forest, with the sound of a wooden fish, easily evokes images of temples and monks, right? Let me guess, your Thunderous Vajra Ape, could it be that your tree stump drum has transformed into the shape of a wooden fish, and you've stopped playing the drum and started playing the wooden fish instead?"
Ye Yinchuan's tone was playful.
He certainly couldn't have guessed such an answer so casually based on this baseless clue.
More importantly, he relied on his discerning eye to directly read the panel of the Thunder King Kong Ape, thereby obtaining deeper information!
[Drummer Pokémon: Rillaboom]

【Characteristic: Cultivated by Buddhist teachings】
This Thunder King Kong grew up in a temple environment, nurtured by Buddhist teachings, resulting in exceptionally outstanding mental abilities. This led to a mutation in its spirit, transforming its tree stump drum into something resembling a wooden fish. It has mastered some psychic-type moves and possesses even greater potential in this area!
"It really proves the saying, 'A big forest has all kinds of birds'..."
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly.
In this Pokémon world, there are so many special individuals, like the Rillaboom in front of him, which gave Ye Yinchuan a moment of surprise and delight.
However, on the other hand, Buddhism and monkeys are quite compatible, at least in Chinese mythology, where it is easily accepted.
"You can even tell that? Who exactly are you?"
The shock the person on the other end of the line was so great that he couldn't help but wonder if Ye Yinchuan was someone close to him who already knew about the Thunder King Kong.
Otherwise, how could the other party know so much when he had only just connected online and hadn't revealed much information?
Could it be that the other party has cultivated some kind of mind-reading ability?
If Ye Yinchuan knew what the person on the other end was thinking, he would probably scratch his head and mutter a few words. His discerning eye for treasures, to some extent, could really be considered a kind of supernatural power!
[So, does this mean the streamer was actually right? No, has it evolved to the point where they can identify a Pokémon just by looking at its butt?]
[I knock! Monkey, Buddhist teachings, could this be...?]
[A tree stump mutated into a wooden fish? No wonder the interviewer asked, "Does the environment shape Pokémon?"]
"Without saying much, let the audience take a look at this special Thunder King Kong."
Ye Yinchuan said in a calm tone.
He could sense that the contact had come to him not just to find out why the Thunder King Kong had become like this...
Because the other party seemed to be asking questions with the answers already in mind.
Perhaps more than anything, it's to "show off" this thunderous gorilla, or even to promote the edifying effect of their temple.
However, none of these things are very important to Ye Yinchuan. He also needs these special Pokémon to create entertainment value for his live streams, and sometimes even teasing the viewers is part of the entertainment plan... just like what happened just now!
At this moment, the person connecting the call felt more than just the recognition and appreciation from above; there was also a sense of uncertainty and awe towards Ye Yinchuan.
He did as Ye Yinchuan instructed.
The image of the thunderous gorilla also appeared on camera.
Wow, he's starting to look like a martial monk!
[They're really striking a wooden fish drum, and you can tell it's made from a tree stump!]
[This feels really strange, this kind of Thunder King Kong...]
When Ye Yinchuan revealed more of the identification results for this thunderous golden gorilla, the comments section erupted in a new uproar.
[Seriously? A Grass-type with psychic powers? Isn't this the setup of Celebi, the Forest Spirit?]
[This streamer is amazing! The best at identifying Pokémon from behind!]
"Does this Roach know Psychic-type moves? We've never even noticed before..."
The person on the other end of the line was somewhat surprised.
All they knew was that the gorilla's tree stump drum had turned into a wooden fish, but they didn't know it also had psychic-type moves!
"Perhaps it's because there's no conflict or need to use its abilities in its living environment."
Ye Yinchuan offered an explanation for this.
Just then, the person on the other end of the line suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, phone and all...
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
The phone was suspended in mid-air, and the person on the other end of the line was frozen in place, floating as if lifted up by some force.
"Look... this is its superpower."
Ye Yinchuan hadn't anticipated what was happening, but it proved to be exactly what he had said.
As the saying goes, words are pale, but facts are powerful. The sudden events left the interviewer and the viewers in the live broadcast room with no choice but to believe it!
This indicates that one has reached a certain level of attainment in Buddhist practice!
Didn't they say that these days, supernatural beings aren't allowed?
