Chapter 35: Evolution, Thorny Ghost Vine!
Editor: Henyee Translations
Finally, the conditions were met!
Su Yi retreated from his meditative state and was pleasantly surprised.
Before he could do anything, he received Thorn Grass's agitated response.
Through telepathy, he could read Thorn Grass's mind. This little fellow could not wait to absorb that Vegetation Essence Fruit!
"What a little foodie. There's still a lot of spiritual energy left in your body from the last time you absorbed the Wood Spirit Stone. Why are you in a hurry to absorb the Vegetation Essence Fruit? If it wasn't because this is the material needed for evolution… Forget it, I'll give it to you."
Seeing the pitiful look on Thorn Grass's face, Su Yi swallowed his words and summoned it with a thought. Then, he took out a wooden box from the fridge.
A green fruit was stored in the wooden box.
This fruit was about the size of an apple and contained a lot of pure wood-element spiritual energy.
Sensing the aura of the Vegetation Essence Fruit, the Thorny Grass immediately trembled with excitement.
Su Yi wanted to tease it, but seeing that it was about to drool, he gave up on the idea and handed over the fruit with a smile.
In the next moment, the fruit was entangled by the thorns and then wrapped until it was completely surrounded.
At the same time, it transmitted emotions like joy, happiness, and the like.
"Take your time to absorb it. There's no hurry."
Seeing it like this, Su Yi suddenly had an urge to touch it. However, after seeing the sharp thorns on its body, he silently retracted his hand.
Damn, he had to contract a pet that he could touch in the future!
Ding, the Thorn Grass has fulfilled all the conditions for demonization. Do you want to consume 80 soul power points to help it evolve into a Thorn Ghost Vine?
The system prompt appeared again.
Su Yi took a deep breath and looked at Thorn Grass, who was still absorbing the Vegetation Essence Fruit. His eyes lit up. "Are you ready?"
Thorn Grass naturally understood what he meant and immediately gave him an affirmative answer through telepathy.
"Excellent!"
Su Yi did not waste any more time and said excitedly, "Then let's begin. Evolution!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many grayish-white light spots suddenly flew out of his body and entered Thorn Grass's body.
There was no doubt that these light spots were the soul power he had collected previously!
After using these 80 points of soul power, the number in the soul power column immediately dropped from 326 to 246.
But he had no time for that now.
After being injected with some grayish-white light spots, many green lights immediately shot out from Thorn Grass's body. It was very strange.
Faced with such a situation, Thorn Grass was a little flustered and did not know what had happened. This was very different from the evolution in its inherited memories!
"It's a special evolution. It makes you better. Don't be afraid. Follow your gut."
Su Yi quickly comforted it.
Admittedly, his appeasement worked. Thorn Grass did calm down.
In the next moment, the light radiating from its body became stronger and stronger, blinding Su Yi and forcing him to close his eyes.
Not only that, but its thorns also began to grow crazily. In just a moment, they became much thicker than before!
It took four or five minutes for the light to fade.
Su Yi hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at it. To his surprise, he realized that the originally slender Thorn Grass had completely changed.
At this moment, its branches could no longer be called thorns. Instead, they were tough vines as thick as an adult man's arm!
Not only were these vines covered in sharp thorns that emitted a cold light, but there were also circles of strange black patterns that gave people a sinister feeling.
He could imagine what would happen if he was entangled by it!
"Did it… evolve successfully?"
Su Yi subconsciously checked its current details.
Thorny Ghost Vine
Spiritual Power: Apprentice Seven Stars
Attributes: Wood
Skills: Digging (Impeccable), Bind (Impeccable), Growth (Impeccable), Iron Spike (Entry), Hardening (Entry), Whip (Entry)
Goals of Evolution: Thorny Demonic Flower
Potential: Emperor-level
…
"This… is amazing!"
Su Yi was dumbfounded. After evolving into the Thorny Ghost Vine, this little guy had actually comprehended three new skills on the spot!
Under normal circumstances, it would be good enough if a pet could comprehend one or two skills on the spot after successfully evolving. If a pet wanted to comprehend more skills, it could only obtain them through continuous practice.
Moreover, the three new skills that the Thorny Ghost Vine had comprehended were very practical and could increase its combat strength by a lot!
For example, after using Iron Spike, the spikes on its body would become like real steel needles. If it were to face the Purple-Tailed Scorpion again, there would be no need to drag it underground. Once the scorpion was entangled, it was very likely to pierce through the scorpion's shell!
If Iron Spike was a skill used on the sharp spikes, then Hardening was a skill used on vines.
After using this skill, the branches of the Thorn Ghost Vine would become as hard as iron and would not be as easy to cut off as before.
Moreover, the higher the proficiency, the harder the hardened vines would be.
If it practiced the skill to the peak, it might even be invulnerable!
In comparison, the Whip skill was a little mediocre. It was just whipping others with vines without much skill.
In addition to the skill, the Thorny Ghost Vine's spiritual energy level had also changed.
It had just broken through to the six-star Apprentice level, but it actually took this opportunity to advance by another star and step into the threshold of the seven-star Apprentice level!
If nothing else, it was still thanks to the Wood Spirit Stone.
Su Yi specially checked its physical condition and realized that the spiritual energy that was originally left in its body had been completely absorbed!
Thinking that the Wood Spirit Stone worth more than a million yuan was gone just like that, Su Yi felt inexplicably emotional.
Beyond that, he felt a sense of urgency.
A seven-star Apprentice!
His pet had completely shaken him off!
If this continued, it might really surpass him by a major level!
"Looks like I have to think of a way to get an Original Spirit Stone."
Su Yi muttered to himself.
The Original Spirit Stones were the most precious of all spirit stones. They contained origin spiritual energy without any attributes. Even Beast Tamers could directly absorb it.
If he could obtain such a spirit stone, with Su Yi's current spiritual energy level, he would definitely be able to improve by leaps and bounds like the Thorn Grass!
As for whether his spiritual energy level would increase too quickly and affect his future growth, Su Yi was not worried at all.
He had cultivated for such a long time and had not even used the Concentration Grass much. His foundation was already very firm. It would definitely not affect him much if he only absorbed one Essence Spirit Stone.
In fact, it was very common to use Original Spirit Stones to increase one's spiritual energy level. Otherwise, how could a rich kid like Bai Zhining advance to the elite level in such a short period of time?
Could their aptitude be so much better than other Beast Tamers'?
Of course, such things were external forces after all. It was fine to use them once in a while, but it would definitely cause problems if they were used too often!
When to use them and when not to depended on one's own judgment.
