4: Take spiritual fruit! evolution!
The spirit fruit matured and fell, instantly attracting the attention of both the White Tiger and the Giant Python.
The White Tiger immediately abandoned its idea of completely eradicating the Giant Python, its tiger eyes fixed on the falling spirit fruit.
The Giant Python's eyes flashed with greed as it watched the spirit fruit, but it was too weak to snatch it. It could only watch helplessly as the White Tiger leaped up, pouncing towards the spirit fruit.
Just as everything seemed to be settled, Lu Yu made his move.
Claw Attack!
With five years of experience from his previous life, his combat experience was naturally extremely rich, and he attacked with full force.
The White Tiger and the Giant Python possessed inherently powerful bloodlines. Having undergone the first cleansing of the Spiritual Qi Revival, their strength now far exceeded the capabilities of ordinary beasts.
However, Lu Yu also possessed an evolution panel, and his current strength was not much inferior to theirs.
Furthermore, the Giant Python was severely wounded, and the White Tiger was poisoned.
Lu Yu chose this moment to strike, perfectly embodying the idiom of the 'fisherman profiting from the struggle between the snipe and the clam'!
"Roar—"
The White Tiger was clearly enraged by Lu Yu, this uninvited guest. It roared at Lu Yu, attempting to scare him away, while its body continued to pounce towards the falling spirit fruit.
Lu Yu chuckled at the sight. It seemed the White Tiger didn't take him seriously, completely unprepared for his attack.
Since that was the case, Lu Yu would certainly teach this White Tiger a lesson!
After activating the Claw Attack skill, Lu Yu's already incredibly hard claws now gleamed with a cold light, and his pouncing speed also increased significantly.
Swish, swish, swish—
Before the White Tiger could touch the spirit fruit, Lu Yu's claws landed on its body.
In the blink of an eye, three consecutive attacks from Lu Yu's claws, which had surpassed steel in strength after his evolution, instantly broke through the White Tiger's defenses, tearing a huge, bone-deep wound into its back.
Blood gushed from the wound—this triggered the bleeding effect!
The White Tiger cried out in pain, sent flying by the impact of Lu Yu's attack, and crashed heavily to the ground.
Lu Yu's eyes lit up at the sight. Without a moment's delay, he flapped his wings and charged forward.
Strike him when he's down, finish him off!
He rapidly approached the White Tiger. Before the White Tiger could react, he immediately activated Claw Attack again.
This time, the White Tiger had no time to dodge and was directly struck in the face by Lu Yu's attack.
Swish, swish, swish—
Three attacks landed on the White Tiger's head, instantly shattering its entire skull.
The White Tiger crashed to the ground with a thud, immediately losing its breath.
The majestic Tiger King of his previous life was directly killed by Lu Yu in this life.
The future was already being changed by Lu Yu!
After confirming the White Tiger's complete demise, Lu Yu did not let down his guard, as there was still a Giant Python lurking nearby, eyeing him menacingly!
Lu Yu immediately turned around and saw the Giant Python twisting its body, about to flee.
Clearly, Lu Yu, who had initially been underestimated by the three fierce beasts, had now instilled fear in the Giant Python after swiftly dispatching the White Tiger.
Its strength was inferior, and as a snake, it was naturally restrained by Lu Yu, the Golden Eagle.
How could it possibly fight?
The Giant Python, whose intelligence had greatly increased after the spiritual energy cleansing, naturally chose to flee.
Seeing this, Lu Yu showed no mercy and once again activated Claw Attack, pouncing forward.
The cold, gleaming claws instantly landed on the Giant Python's body.
The severely wounded Giant Python was cut into several pieces before it even had a chance to retaliate. It writhed on the ground a few times, but ultimately could not escape death.
Seeing all three fierce beasts defeated, Lu Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Using three skills consecutively was still a bit strenuous for his current body.
But thankfully, he emerged as the ultimate victor.
It wasn't that Lu Yu was bloodthirsty, but in this environment, it was a case of the strong preying on the weak, with no room for kindness.
Only by being cruel to enemies could one be merciful to oneself.
If he had let the Giant Python go, there was no telling what trouble it might cause, especially since the Giant Python also knew about the spirit fruit's existence!
After confirming the safety of his surroundings, Lu Yu immediately flew over, picked up the spirit fruit, and soared to the top of the giant tree's branch.
The spirit fruit was now ripe, and the protective membrane around it had disappeared.
As Lu Yu held the spirit fruit in his beak, a clear, pure aura emanated from it. Just by smelling it, Lu Yu felt much of his fatigue lessen.
Without hesitation, Lu Yu swallowed it whole.
Boom—
The next moment, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted within Lu Yu's body, filling his entire being!
Under the cleansing of this spiritual energy, Lu Yu could clearly feel his body undergoing immense changes.
This change was called: evolution!
Lu Yu immediately focused his mind, carefully sensing the changes brought about by the evolution.
Thus, two days passed.
On this particular morning, a loud cry suddenly erupted in the quiet forest:
"Caw—"
Lu Yu, perched on the giant tree, opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
One spirit fruit had brought about enormous changes in him.
The most direct change was that his body size was now twice as large as before!
His wingspan was even more exaggerated; he now had a wingspan of nearly seven meters!
This far exceeded the limits that the Golden Eagle species could achieve.
His previously soft feathers now gleamed with a cold light, clearly possessing strong defensive capabilities.
Evidently, he no longer belonged to the category of a mere Golden Eagle!
At the same time, his already strong claws also benefited from the spirit fruit's effects, becoming even thicker and sharper, and directly turning a dark, inky black!
Even his hearing had significantly improved; he could now even hear the faint chirping of insects within a hundred meters.
At this moment, Lu Yu felt his body brimming with immense power, more than ten times greater than before!
An excited Lu Yu immediately opened his panel to check:
[Name]: Lu Yu
[Tier]: E-tier (Evolution points needed for upgrade: 0 / 500 Evolution Points)
[Lifespan]: 1 / 300 years
[Skills]: Claw Attack (lv1)
[Talent]: Wind Spiritual Power Affinity
[Evolution Points]: 10
...
After reviewing the panel, Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected a single spirit fruit to directly allow him to skip F-tier and jump straight to E-tier!
This completely exceeded Lu Yu's expectations.
One must know that fierce beasts were divided into nine ranks, from the lowest F-tier to the highest SSS-tier!
Even the lowest F-tier could be called a transcendent creature, possessing some powerful abilities.
At this moment, with the Spiritual Qi Revival having only occurred for a mere two days, even those fierce beasts with inherently excellent bloodlines would likely have barely entered F-tier. As for E-tier, that was absolutely impossible.
At the very least, Lu Yu could guarantee that in this vast forest, there could be no existence surpassing F-tier!
In other words, E-tier could already stroll through the entire forest without fear.
And now, Lu Yu had entered this tier.
Lu Yu felt a thrill in his heart. As the saying goes, 'one step ahead, always ahead.' He had already seized the initiative in this first Spiritual Qi Revival. As long as he didn't act recklessly, he would become an existence that would soar to the heavens by catching the wind!
Besides allowing him to evolve to E-tier, the extra spiritual energy from the spirit fruit also converted into 10 Evolution Points, just enough for Lu Yu to upgrade Claw Attack.
