Chapter 255 Improvement and Evolution

Lin Manshan slowly stood up and laughed, "It raised about 4 and a half levels, not bad at all."

"Hehehe, not bad indeed, with your physical quality, you were able to raise so much, it's worthy of being a 100,000-year-old spirit ring. When you absorb this left arm bone, your spirit power will be at level 76 if not level 77, right?" Dugu Bo smiled as he pulled out the spirit bone and handed it over, his gaze flashed to Niu Gao, "Your Uncle Niu was much faster than you, the spirit ring and spirit bone have all been absorbed, and his spirit power is also at level 93."

"Uncle Niu, congratulations." Lin Manshan hurriedly congratulated him.

After all, Niu Gao is now a Titled Douluo, and the amount of spirit power required to raise each level is massive, absorbing a 100,000-year-old spirit ring plus a 100,000-year-old spirit bone to be able to have such an increase is already extremely impressive.

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao immediately scratched his head in a somewhat formal manner, "This is all thanks to Dean and you Man'er."

"Haha, no need to be polite." Lin Manshan laughed, turned back to receive the spirit bone and put it into the spirit tool, and continued, "The time I spent absorbing it is indeed a bit long, it's not too late to wait to go back and absorb the spirit bone later, and it's just right to get used to the enhancement on the way."

Saying that he turned his head to look at the corpse of the Thousand Catties Ant Emperor, which was smeared with white powder, presumably Dugu Bo and the others helped to do the processing, and added: "Wait a moment, the life energy of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast shouldn't flow out that fast, so I'll try to see if I can absorb some of it."

"Well, go." Dugu Bo waved his hand.

Lin Manshan nodded and walked straight to the corpse, stabbing the Eight Spider Spear behind him that hadn't been retracted yet.

Previously, he had only sensed that the Eight Spider Spear had not been retracted and had not yet had time to inspect it, but now that he had stretched it forward to take a look at it, surprise flashed through his eyes as he realized how much it had changed.

The turquoise colour is introverted, it is dark gold in a large area on the outside, and it looks as if jade was encased in gold.

In between his thoughts, the majestic and pure life energy poured in along the spider legs, visible to the naked eye, the gold colour above the Eight Spider Spears glowed, while the armour on the Thousand Catties Ant Emperor in front of him quickly dimmed, turning into a dark grey colour as time went by.

'The Eight Spider Spear's devouring ability has evolved?' This thought could not help but rise in his mind.

Under the soul perception, the strength of the Eight Spider Spear was clearly increasing, and its strength had already exceeded thirty thousand years.

"This," Happiness came so suddenly that Lin Manshan was a little confused.

A little bit of time passed as Lin Manshan carefully observed the changes, 'It seems that, in addition to life energy, the Eight Spider Spear is also plundering the remaining flesh essence of the Thousand Catties Ant Emperor. The fact that this armour would turn so dull should be due to the plundering of the essence.'

'So, in the past, it was only draining the life energy, but now it's even extracting the bones and shells?'

'And, this efficiency, it's a bit high.'

When he observed and felt it, the huge body shell of the Thousand Catties Ant Emperor was already dull grey in colour, and the energy fluctuation coming from the Eight Spider Spears was also sharply reduced. Seeing this, Lin Manshan immediately pulled out the Eight Spider Spear and quickly walked towards another Thousand Catties Ant Emperor corpse.

Following the same pattern, he raised the Eight Spider Spear and inserted it again.

The same transformation took place again, Lin Manshan carefully felt the changes in the Eight Spider Spear.

Time passed little by little, and when the Eight Spider Spear was once again pulled out, even the normally composed Lin Manshan could not help but be filled with a tinge of surprise in his eyes.

This time, with this absorption, the strength of his Eight Spider Spear External Spirit Bone had undoubtedly reached the 50,000-year level.

Moreover, the other spirit bones in his body had also been strengthened to varying degrees, it was just that the Eight Spider Spear, which was the dominant one, had been boosted greater.

After all, all the essence was devoured and channelled by the Eight Spider Spear.   

Roughly estimating, the age and strength of his Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear's external spirit bone had reached 20,000 years, the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff's right arm bone was 40,000 years old, the Head Bone was 70,000 years old, and the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor that was the first to be absorbed had even reached a terrifying 120,000 years old.

Of course, such an enhancement didn't stem from just a one-time occurrence, but was the sum of the accumulation over the previous years.

'This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, the harvest is just too great!' Inwardly, he couldn't help but sigh.

Spirit Bone Evolution not only meant an increase in the strength of the Spirit Bone and the ability to advance, but it also represented a drastic increase in the physical body's strength. What's more, on this trip, he also harvested a 100,000-year-old spirit ring and a 100,000-year-old spirit bone, and his spiritual power also skyrocketed by 20%.

It was really a big gain!

In the middle of his thoughts, he retrieved the Eight Spider Spear, stared at the huge corpse in front of him, and glanced at the other Thousand Catties Ant Emperor that was still sleeping in the distance, pondering. The Yang Spring within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is not technically a poison in the true sense of the word, but because the spring contains extreme fire attribute energy, the flesh of ordinary creatures simply cannot withstand it, and it will naturally be destroyed after it enters the body.

The Evil Spirit Orca King is a marine creature with conflicting attributes, not to mention the fact that when it enters the body, it will destroy the body.

If the body can withstand it, there'll be great benefits, such as the original Ice and Fire Alchemy Physique Tang San acquired after directly jumping into the Well.

As a Yang Spring, volatility is its characteristic, the reason why the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has existed is because there is a Yin Spring to neutralize it.

During the month that he had absorbed the spirit ring, the Yang Spring in the Thousand Catties Ant Emperor's body had basically dissipated almost to the point of evaporation. He had dared to directly insert the Eight Spider Spear into the corpse just now to absorb the life energy and flesh essence precisely because of this reason.

However, the efficiency of his devouring wasn't one hundred percent, and there were still some reservations within the two corpses.

Later on, when this Thousand Catties Ant Emperor wakes up, if it can devour the two corpses, it might not be able to advance to a 100,000-year-old spirit beast in a short period of time, saving me an elixir. Thinking like this, he turned around and walked over to Dugu Bo and voiced out his conjecture.

Then he said, "Grandpa if this possibility actually happens, combined with our siege this time. When the next time we come, this Thousand Catties Ant Emperor might not be here anymore, perhaps it will change territories, or perhaps it will go to the core circle to huddle together with the other 100,000-year-old Spirit Beasts, which would be an opportunity." Saying that he turned his head to look at the others, "Everyone, help me go around and find some small mosquitoes."

"I need to leave coordinates around it to make it easier for us to find it next time."

"Hm!" The crowd nodded and hurriedly scattered in all directions.

Not long after, one after another turned around and came back, each cupping a few small flying insects in their hands.

Lin Manshan took them one by one and cast the Dark One Beast Control Art.

Soon, mosquitoes and insects danced around, flying towards the sleeping Thousand Catties Ant Emperor, either drilling into the cracks of the armour or flying towards the surrounding tree canopy.

After doing all this, Lin Manshan clapped his hands and laughed, "Alright, let's go."

The crowd nodded, packed up their things, and left with a smile on their faces.

A few hours later, the only surviving Thousand Catties Ant Emperor woke up in a haze, its body shook slightly, and then awoke with a jolt, turning its head to look around, and ultimately fixing its gaze on its two dead brothers, slightly fearful of the situation, it approached, sniffing carefully.

In the next moment, the large pincers swung in succession, gnawing with tears in its eyes.

Soon, the devastated open space was covered with broken armour shells.

On Lin Manshan's side, the group, who had already moved away from the edge of the core circle, stepped onto the backs of the martial soul true bodies that Shui Chaozong and Shui Zilu had transformed into, and soared towards the north.
