Primary Nature—Tangible Psychokinesis!
When Inala got his hands on the Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis and used it, he realised just how wonderful it was. In essence, all it created was a string of Prana through which the effects of psychokinesis could be applied.
The string of Prana behaved as a regular string, tangible in nature. But it wasn't a solid object created out of a mineral. Hence, its applications were pretty fluid. This tangible nature could be treated similarly to water or air, but one that didn't flow across an obstacle, as fluids did, but one that could flow through the object, since it was Prana.
Through the effects of psychokinesis, it was possible to unleash a variety of actions. Best of all, it was Prana efficient to the extreme, requiring the minimal most Prana.
Yarsha Zahara would be able to perform the effects of Tangible Psychokinesis, since it was an effect unleashed by moulding Prana into strings and infusing the effects of psychokinesis in them. But, she would never be able to use them like Inala, for the amount of Prana she would need to create it would make the ability useless.
The string of Prana that Inala could condense through five units of Prana would necessitate at least three hundred units of Prana from Yarsha. Psychokinesis could only be applied to the Spirit Weapon. But this string of Prana could act upon all matter.
To achieve this effect, the effects of psychokinesis need to be infused in the Prana forming the string in such a way the string itself contains the force generated by the psychokinesis. The string would be unleashing psychokinesis as if there was its Spirit Weapon beside it.
The efficiency of it had to be tampered with to ensure there was a leak of Prana, which causes this psychokinesis to affect other minerals, similar to the effects of a cultivator's presence. All these factors had to be condensed in a proper, working form, requiring a tremendous amount of brainpower.
With such severe losses and consumption, 300 units of Prana were necessary to condense a string—worth five units of Prana—with the effects of Tangible Psychokinesis. Only Yarsha Zahara could replicate it. But she would never do so, because it was useless.
For that level of Prana consumption, she could create Eddy Blades and sever through everything in her path. This insane efficiency and low-cost requirement were what made Tangible Psychokinesis a Minor Treasure, because the Minor Treasure was able to solve all the requirements without wasting a single speck of Prana.
No living being was able to maintain all the necessary requirements at their optimal levels while using the power effectively, which is why Tangible Psychokinesis operated at a level beyond the power system of Sumatra, hence classified as a Minor Treasure.
Inala could build this power to create a variety of weapons, especially guns. He used them in the Attributed Region and was proven of their effectiveness even against the Attributed Creatures.
He was aware that once the Bolts of Transcendence slammed into him, the essence of the Minor Treasure of Tangible Psychokinesis would be fused into his genetics, thanks to his Sumatra Gold Skeleton.
Hence, Inala made preparations so that the Zingers he could create post-evolution would obtain this groundbreaking power. the variant of Zinger Aristocrat was the one to obtain this as their Primary Nature.
Quip Zingers possessed the power of the Prana Bomb, the same as their predecessor race of Zingers and Empyrean Zingers. Quip Zingers were male. Once they evolve to the Silver Grade and become Zinger Aristocrats, they change genders into a female while their Primary Nature transforms into Tangible Psychokinesis.
But obviously, Zingers were a race that stole Prana from their targets. Hence, Zinger Aristocrats too were capable of the same.
Through the Primary Nature of Tangible Psychokinesis, a Zinger Aristocrat was capable of condensing two strings of Prana, one for the left limb and one for the right. After the four limbs, it could condense a string of Prana from its two tails.
When condensed from the limbs, the string of Prana had mild Prana absorption capabilities. It was capable of absorbing the same amount of Prana as required to condense and use the string of Prana.
Basically, through Tangible Psychokinesis, a Zinger Aristocrat was incapable of recovering its Prana, but it could conserve Prana and instead use the target's Prana to bind it.
When the strings of Prana were condensed from its tail, they were incapable of absorbing Prana. Instead, they had a stronger capability of psychokinesis, effective in allowing the Zinger Aristocrats to glide closer to the ground.
The two strings of Prana created from their tails can propel them into the air like a slingshot, allowing them to take flight instantly, without any need for a runup or a need of altitude to drop from.
Inala kept them functional. It was why he didn't bother trying to figure out ways to increase the Prana absorption capabilities of Zinger Aristocrats. Making any more changes would only disrupt the original function of Tangible Psychokinesis.
Even the Prana absorption characteristics originated from their claws. Zingers naturally secreted a gelatinous substance from their claws that protected them against the Prana absorption qualities of Prana Bombs.
Inala tweaked that characteristic so that when the string of Prana is condensed through their claws, the gelatinous substance would course through it and react, changing properties. This change allowed them to absorb Prana.
It was why this Prana absorption characteristic could only be unleashed in the string of Prana generated through the claws.
Inala observed Gappu and the rest awkwardly manipulating the strings of Prana they could create through their Primary Nature, 'They'll become better through practice. And once they accumulate enough of my genes, they can mutate.'
Mutation!
Every Pranic Beast could mutate into a stronger variant. And once they mutate, they obtain a Secondary Nature. In the case of the Quip Clansmen, they had a choice for this.
When a Quip Zinger accumulates enough Royal Zinger genes, he would receive a choice. The first choice was to mutate and receive a Secondary Nature. The mutation wouldn't elevate his grade. He would continue to remain at Expert Iron Grade.
All he would obtain is a Secondary Nature. The second choice is to continue accumulating further until there were enough Royal Zinger genes to evolve into a Zinger Aristocrat.
But reaching this point was easier said than done, especially considering the resources required to do so and the experience one needed to accumulate for the generation of Royal Zinger genes in their bodies.
Getting a Secondary Nature would indeed accelerate this process. So, even after mutating, he would be able to become a Zinger Aristocrat. Best of all, the Secondary Nature too would evolve into Silver Grade.
Secondary Nature—Accel Hurl!
In Sumatra Chronicles, a century after the story began, the Mammoth Clan returned to the Dieng Canyon. During this time, he encountered the Zinger Queen who was born during the First Major Disaster through Gannala's Lifespan.
It was during this incident did Resha face a Zinger King with a Secondary Nature, one of the few times he complimented the strength of his opponent.
Protecting the Zinger Queen, the Zinger King attacked Resha. Of course, it was no match for him, since he was already a 2-
Life Stage Empyrean Tusk by then. But despite that, it managed to survive against him. The reason for this was its Secondary Nature.
Accel Hurl infused Prana into the Prana Bomb and gave it a spin, similar to a bullet, allowing the Zinger King to throw it with greater speed and penetrative power. Accel Hurl also strengthened the arm and provided an explosive burst to hurl the Prana Bomb to faraway locations.
With this power, the Zinger King could unleash combat power on the level of a Centinger, one of the strongest Silver Grade Pranic Beasts to exist.
Mutated Beginner Silver Grade Pranic Beast—Empyrean Zinger King!
Upon mutation, it became a Silver Grade Pranic Beast, gained sentience, and wielded strength on a whole other level. Unfortunately, it was the only Zinger to have entered Silver Grade in Sumatra Chronicles.
Inala didn't want his Quip Zingers to enter Silver Grade upon mutation, since that would only hinder their growth. Hence, when a Quip Zinger mutates, its strength remains the same. The only difference would be the creation of a Secondary Nature.
Whenever they mutate, a Quip Clansman will obtain the Secondary Nature of Accel Hurl. Whether they were at the Iron, Silver, or Gold Grade doesn't matter. They'll obtain Accel Hurl at the equivalent Grade as a Secondary Nature.
Inala didn't have an idea as to how he could awaken a Tertiary Nature naturally among his Quip Clansmen. But he intended to figure out a solution eventually, once he decided on his Tertiary Nature and finished changing Wittral into a Zinger Representative.
"Congratulations on your success, Inala." Two men and one woman approached Inala and bowed before him, controlling their urge to jump on him like usual. After all, they could no longer assume a miniature form to crawl across his body as in the past.
"You three don't need to act like this." Inala urged them to get up and hugged the trio, "Come here!"
"Hehe," The woman among the trio laughed as she kicked the two men to the side and jumped on Inala, latching onto him like a koala bear, "It has been a while…kyak!"
"Two seconds is more than enough." One of the men got up and yanked the woman to the side and took her place, his expression one of bliss the moment he touched Inala.
"Selfish brat!" The last of the trio pushed away the man embracing Inala and occupied the spot. It didn't take a couple of seconds before the trio began to fight for a spot. At first, faint gusts were generated from their attacks, but soon, the gusts turned into gales.
This trio was the most special among the Zinger Race, for Inala hatched them through the Boar King's Prana and Lifeforce and the Sanrey Plains and it was through their Prana that Inala created the Quip Tribe.
The first to evolve were this trio, and it was by harnessing upon their evolution that Inala became the Royal Zinger. And now, each of the trio stood at the pinnacle of the evolution paths available in the Quip Clan, wielding the strength of a Gold Grade Pranic Beast each.
Inala didn't admonish them, but instead stared at them with a proud gaze, 'They'll be the foundation of my strength in the future and lead the Quip Clan to greater heights.'
Gold Grade powerhouses at the 10-Life Stage were the leaders of the largest organisations in Sumatra. Raaha of the Mammoth Clan, Geugeu of the Cooter Clan, and Boul Brimgan of the Brimgan Empire.
In the future, the trio before him would take that status for the Quip Clan, because a glance at them, and Inala could predict easily that all three of them would reach 10-Life Stage. 'They'll become Gold Transcendents and watch over the Quip Clan from the Transcendent Worlds.'
'They are my Transcendent Trio!'
