Chapter 1221: Chapter 188: Blood River Armant, Transform! (7,400)_2
At that mont, Ian’s physique and aura underwent a dramatic transformation. After a flick of his hair, a person entirely different from before appeared—even their soul’s resonance had changed.
It was a tall, black-haired young man. His heavy, waist-length hair draped behind him like raven feathers, with two locks hanging down over his shoulders. The eyes, black as they were, did not convey the original indifference and aloofness, but rather a sharper, cold disdain and aversion to the entire world.
This was soone difficult to get along with, a loner who wandered alone, with no possibility of having companions.
The black-haired, black-eyed knight pressed his lips together, casting a cold gaze over his companions in front of him.
A stark, unfamiliar sensation and a sense of crisis began to spread.
“Wow,” Sio’s admiration broke the tension: “No matter how many tis I see it, it’s really cool—especially the way you flick your hair, Ian, and beco a completely different person. It’s like flipping a switch, transforming instantly, super cool!”
“Haha, I think it’s pretty cool too!” Ian, in the Mahdi form, also laughed. He was quite proud of the move and form design, believing it was completely different from his previous self, making it impossible to be recognized.
Unfortunately, since most of the audience was just himself, he could only admire it in solitude. But Sio understood the design concept, truly worthy of being a True Dragon!
However, Yisen Gard and Anfa were sowhat silent… They were not frightened by Ian in Mahdi form, but rather, with their sharper perceptions than Sio, they sensed an incredible truth.
—This ‘Mahdi’… is also real!
It was a vague feeling. Anfa, having many prosthetic bodies, knew well that when one switches from one body to another form, there are definitely habits needing adjustnt, occasionally showing micro-movents unique to the original body… For example, when switching from long hair to short hair, one might briefly pause before turning, to avoid swinging too quickly. Likewise, when a man changes into a woman, there might occasionally be so discomfort…
But Ian didn’t! He seamlessly switched to the Mahdi form, with another set of habits as if born with them… This is impossible, not even a Prophet can conjure up all of a person’s micro-movents from thin air!
As for Yisen Gard, it’s even simpler… Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon is a parasitic organism. Although he hasn’t parasitized anyone, the mories in his bloodline make it clear to him: every creature has its unique rhythm. To truly synchronize harmoniously with its host, the Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon must grasp that rhythm to achieve more than 90% resonance, exerting greater power.
In fact, the Ellen Family’s Aether Armant operates on the sa principle. It has a resonance with the pilot’s body, needing over 95% to unleash the true power of Dark Brilliance… Similarly, when a person changes into an uncommon Demon God form, it actually reduces the soul and body’s resonance rate, no matter how strong it appears. It’s bound to lessen combat efficiency unless trained post-transition.
But Ian? Despite Mahdi’s form not being commonly used, he imdiately displayed a perfect resonance rate of 100%… That’s simply impossible!
Could it be…
Yisen Gard and Anfa exchanged glances, their shocked expressions confirming each other’s thoughts: “Indeed, it’s like that!”
“Ian, are you soone with a dual personality?”
Ian: “What are you two talking about?”
Regarding Yisen and Anfa’s speculations and their subsequent explanations, Ian could only comnd their imagination—notably that Ian adopted Hiliard’s inheritance, suppressing and concealing it for years, leading to imnse psychological pressure that triggered a second personality, ‘Mahdi’s second persona’ of representing the First Knight Disciple.
This persona usually doesn’t appear, but whenever Ian transitions to Mahdi’s form, it instantly surges forth, replacing the original Ian!
“According to your theory, does that an my Ian form has to be severely wounded, exhausting life, for the second and first personas to rge, fully transforming into the ultimate form? Or is the second persona anchored in the Heart Light Body, becoming a combat spirit capable of fighting alongside ?”
He complained irritably: “Stop reading so many knight novels, especially the ‘Underworld Knight Chronicles.’ I’ve read that novel too. After the death of the Underworld Knight’s brother, the knight was heartbroken, resulting in a second persona identical to the brother. Once the Underworld Knight reached the Third Energy Level, the Heart Light Body turned into the brother’s form, able to communicate and fight alongside the Knight—practically a resurrection—imaginative indeed, but in reality…”
“Hmm…”
At this, Ian fell into contemplation.
He supported his chin with his hand, thoughtfully stating: “Feels like it’s not impossible…”
“Though it’s not really about a second personality issue, Sio, Anfa, have you ever tried splitting your Dragon Soul, allowing two Dragon Souls to fight simultaneously using different thods and thoughts?”
“Indeed feasible, but maintaining the Dragon Soul’s special combat abilities requires high computational demand. Splitting doesn’t enhance battle efficiency; instead, it diminishes it.”
Anfa seemingly attempted similar endeavors before, hence his quick association to dual personalities, yet the path evidently didn’t progress: “I’ve tried nurous tis to control two prosthetic bodies simultaneously in combat, and though the coordination is decent, there’s always a sense of sluggishness. Fine operations decrease efficiency, manageable against weaker foes, but once an opponent’s strength matches, it’s better to focus entirely on one’s power.”
