Chapter 47: New Form—Wind Spirit
Seeing that Little Green gave him no face at all, Su Ke could only smile bitterly. He then looked at Zhang Xin, hoping she would help him persuade Little Green.
However, Zhang Xin turned her head away, clearly unwilling to involve herself in this matter.
"Don't look at me. If you want her to do something, persuade her yourself. I'm not helping you," Zhang Xin said coldly.
Hearing this, Su Ke sighed helplessly.
It seemed there was no hope of getting Zhang Xin's assistance. He could only brace himself and say to Little Green in a coaxing tone, "Good Little Green, could you help me out? Just rest on this watch for a moment. Our Little Green is the most beautiful and generous, right? You surely wouldn't hold a grudge over that tiny bit of unpleasantness—Makka Pakka, gibberish..."
To get Little Green to help, Su Ke racked his brains and used every compliment he could think of.
Heaven be his witness, he was truly trying his best, even squeezing his voice into a near falsetto.
After a long round of flattery, Su Ke finally succeeded in coaxing Little Green. She turned around with satisfaction and lightly perched on his little broken watch.
The moment Little Green touched the watch, it emitted a dazzling yellow light, like a radiant pearl.
The sudden glow startled her, and she quickly flew up, screeching angrily at Su Ke.
Anyone could tell she was cursing quite viciously.
But Su Ke ignored her, focusing all his attention on the little broken watch.
Zhang Xin and Little Green also looked over curiously.
The face of the little broken watch had turned yellow and was constantly rotating, as if it were loading something.
About half a minute later, it finally returned to its original state.
Su Ke immediately activated it, switching to a brand-new silhouette.
The image was clearly that of a bird.
"Awesome!"
Su Ke shouted excitedly and pressed down on the watch face without hesitation.
A flash of green light burst forth, and in his place stood a small cyan-green bird that looked very similar to Little Green.
The only difference was a miniature Omnitrix symbol on its forehead.
Little Green and Zhang Xin stared in disbelief, their eyes wide as they watched the scene unfold.
"My God, what kind of mechanism does this Supernatural Ability have? How can it even transform into this?" Zhang Xin said in shock.
Little Green also chirped repeatedly, clearly confused and bewildered.
(Wait, why did my master's nephew suddenly turn into me?!)
Su Ke smiled and comforted her. "Don't be nervous, Little Green. It's just a minor application of my Supernatural Ability."
Zhang Xin widened her eyes. "You can understand her?"
Little Green let out another questioning chirp.
(You can understand me?!)
Su Ke smiled smugly. "Of course. We're considered the same species now and share a language system, so naturally I can communicate with her."
Zhang Xin asked curiously, "Then can you use her abilities?"
"To be precise, the abilities of her race," Su Ke corrected.
As he flapped his wings, a gentle breeze stirred around him, only shifting a few scraps of paper nearby.
Since they were indoors, he did not dare use too much force.
Even so, it was already astonishing.
"Not only can you transform into a Wind Spirit, but you can also communicate with them and even use their abilities. You know, only those who have signed a contract with Elemental Spirits can understand them and communicate through that contract," Zhang Xin said.
"Being able to talk to Elemental Spirits doesn't mean you understand their language," Su Ke replied. "For example, you can understand me because I'm speaking human language. But if I switched to another language, you wouldn't understand. After becoming a Wind Spirit, I learned their language system, so now I can communicate freely with all spirits."
"So handsome~~" Little Green chirped.
"Huh???"
Seeing Su Ke look at her, Little Green shyly covered her face with her wings and hid behind Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin fell silent.
It turned out her Little Green was drawn to good looks.
Startled, Su Ke quickly transformed back into his original form. He had no desire to be flirted with by a bird.
Still, he was quite pleased. After all, this proved he was rather charming.
After indulging in a moment of narcissism, Su Ke began considering other matters.
[It seems the Omnitrix's DNA scanning function still exists after being converted into my Supernatural Ability. I just don't know whether there are any restrictions.]
Just as he received 1 Alien Hero per level-up, there should be some limitation on unlocking forms through DNA scanning as well.
He simply had not discovered it yet.
Before he could think further, Zhang Xin questioned him again. "Xiao Ke, what exactly is going on with your Supernatural Ability? I can accept that you can transform into multiple forms, but being able to turn into Little Green's race just because she touched you… Either of those abilities alone would already be extremely powerful. Combined together, this is definitely not something an Earth-rank Talent should possess."
Su Ke glanced around. "The walls don't have ears, right?"
"Don't worry. No one will hear us," Zhang Xin replied.
As she spoke, she raised her hand and released a Spiritual Power Barrier, isolating their voices so that not a single sound could leak out.
"Actually, my ability can be considered a type of Beast Transformation," Su Ke explained. "It's just that compared to others, I can transform into many more forms. Moreover, my transformation isn't a typical one; it's a change at the genetic level."
He raised the little broken watch for her to see.
"Each form stored inside is essentially a set of DNA. When I activate it, that DNA replaces my original DNA and undergoes recombination. At that moment, I completely become another species, no longer human, and I gain all the abilities of that species. The Wind Spirit is a perfect example."
"Genetic recombination? Completely turning yourself into another species… That sounds very similar to the Evolution Cult," Zhang Xin said.
"I swear, I have absolutely nothing to do with those cultists!" Su Ke immediately replied.
"I'm not saying you're involved with them. But you need to be careful from now on. If those lunatics discover the true function of your Supernatural Ability, they will stop at nothing to capture you, perhaps even deploying their strongest combat forces," Zhang Xin warned.
Su Ke felt a chill after hearing her words.
"It wouldn't go that far… would it?"
