The attribute section was nothing special, so Su Wen skipped past it and went straight to the skills.
"Erald Spirit Shield (Passive): When an ally's HP drops below 10% of its maximum, this effect activates—locking their HP for 10 seconds. During this ti, allies are immune to control effects, and when the skill ends, they automatically recover 20% of their health. Cooldown: one month."
"Fountain of Life: Active skill. When cast, the recovery rate of injuries on the target is increased by 200%."
"HP lock? That's a divine skill!" Su Wen exclaid in delight.
Though the skill was passive, and only applied to allies, its effect definitely counted as a god-tier ability.
If it had been Little Gold—when it barely lost to an opponent due to the slightest margin, just a last-second HP lock heal would have been enough to pull off a counter-kill. Ten seconds might not an much to ordinary people, but to masters where every move is lethal, ten seconds was more than enough to change everything.
"Whoosh~"
As the beam of light faded, the transford Erald Spirit Swan appeared before everyone.
Its jade-green wings grew longer and more elegant than before, its form more noble. But the most striking feature was in its nearly transparent chest cavity, where a faintly glowing diamond-shaped white jade crystal floated.
Bi Ji's beautiful eyes widened in shock. "That's… the Jade Spirit?"
"The Jade Spirit?" The other ferocious beasts were confused. Even the rest of the Erald Swan clan looked blank.
Bi Ji explained, "The Erald Swans are born brimming with life energy, like a walking fountain of vitality. But to advance into a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the very first step is to condense more than 50% of one's life force into a crystal. I call this crystal the Jade Spirit. With a Jade Spirit, cultivation will surge forward unhindered, advancing at lightning speed."
She could hardly believe her own words. "But this should only be possible after reaching a hundred thousand years…"
The crowd fell silent.
This lucky Erald Swan—after signing a contract with Su Wen, its cultivation had clearly dropped from ten thousand years to just over six thousand. Yet its talent… had skyrocketed. At this pace, it wouldn't be long before it reached Bi Ji's realm.
"So this is evolution?" the Scarlet King's eyes glead.
All of Su Wen's eloquent claims earlier were nothing compared to what they were now seeing with their own eyes.
It was truly enviable.
In that instant, the Erald Spirit Swan had undergone a complete rebirth. If talent could be asured nurically, it had increased exponentially. Even its previously ordinary bloodline now showed ripples of transformation. As Bi Ji said, to condense a Jade Spirit at just six thousand years—sothing that should only be possible at one hundred thousand—was enough to shock everyone.
"Not only that… this Jade Spirit's quality surpasses even mine," Bi Ji admitted with jealousy.
Opening her palm, a thumb-sized erald-green crystal floated upward, radiating rich life energy.
Even Bear Lord and the Myriad Demon King swallowed hungrily, greed flashing in their eyes. But under Di Tian's oppressive aura, they suppressed their desire.
That tiny thumb-sized Jade Spirit could rival a piece of Life Gold of the sa size! The comparison was terrifying—after all, even the million-year Skydream's essence condensed into Life Gold would only equal a single tear.
Bi Ji sighed as she gently cradled her Jade Spirit. "As one's cultivation increases, the Jade Spirit compresses and shrinks. The smaller it becos, the more pure the life energy it contains. For example, the Jade Spirit I condensed upon reaching one hundred thousand years was three to four tis the size of this one."
The others turned to look at the new Jade Spirit.
It was about five tis larger than Bi Ji's.
"And the color," Bi Ji continued, "represents how quickly one absorbs life energy—in other words, the speed of cultivation."
"My Jade Spirit began pure cyan. As my strength grew, it beca cyan streaked with white, faintly transforming toward pure white."
The others looked again.
This new Jade Spirit's color was even closer to white than Bi Ji's!
Didn't that an…
"That's right." For the first ti, Bi Ji's eyes reddened with envy.
She had endured countless trials, tempered herself for millennia, to finally break into the hundred-thousand-year realm and refine her Jade Spirit to this point. Yet a re junior, just by signing a contract with a human, had effortlessly surpassed her—bloodline evolving in the process.
"The power of bloodlines… terrifying indeed," Bear Lord sighed.
His eyes flicked toward Little Gold.
If that little one also evolved into the Behemoth Beast, then his so-called "ancestor" status would end up like Bi Ji's—reduced to drooling envy.
Bloodlines were both shackles and ladders.
They could let you soar to unimaginable heights, or leave you forever stuck at the final step, never advancing an inch.
"Di Tian, co out!"
A voice rang across the sky.
Di Tian raised an eyebrow, shaken from his thoughts, and looked at Su Wen. His tone was softer now. "Seems those are people from your Shrek Academy. You plan to return with them?"
"Mhm." Su Wen nodded.
The mission was complete. After absorbing the Erald Swan, his strength had leapt from level 40 to 44. Relations with Di Tian and the others were on good terms for now. As for the Silver Dragon King hidden belowground—eting her would be unlikely.
"Let's go~"
Waving at the reluctant Auspicious Beast, Su Wen departed with Di Tian.
Not long after they left, ripples spread across the Lake of Life.
A cold voice rose:
"Evolution? Interesting…"
…
"As expected, you've been taken away—Elder Mu guessed right!" The mont he saw Su Wen, Xuan Zi spoke excitedly, relief and helplessness mixed. "Don't hurt him. We've already deduced which faction sent humans into Star Dou Forest. Give us so ti, and I also want you to send strong ones to help rescue the Auspicious Beast."
"…," Di Tian stayed silent for a mont, then glanced at Su Wen. "Among us are soul beasts skilled in spiritual power. They've already searched their minds and found useful information. You're trying to say—Holy Spirit Church, within the Sun-Moon Empire, right?"
"Holy Spirit Church?" Xuan Zi was stunned.
Di Tian didn't waste more words. He tossed Su Wen toward him.
"This boy saved our Auspicious Beast. Let him tell you."
"Eh???" Xuan Zi scrambled to catch Su Wen, his negotiation lines still unsaid, his face filled with confusion.
"You… saved the Auspicious Beast?"
"…Wait—that gray light pillar, that was you?!" Xuan Zi finally realized.
