103: Evolution——Mountain Warrior!

Soon, Lin Shu brought Tu Yao to the evolution station on Meihu Island.

He had already reserved an earth-attribute room yesterday.

He had also informed his mentor and Big Brother Wu Song about this.

The two nodded in response but showed no interest in the Mountain Rock Golem's evolution.

Could it really evolve into something spectacular?

Fishing was much more relaxing.

As for the evolution materials, Lin Shu had received them two days prior.

Stepping into the factory-like building he had entered once before,

Lin Shu led Tu Yao into the earth-attribute room.

The evolution of a Mountain Warrior had environmental requirements.

It had to take place in a location rich in earth-attribute energy.

This place had just such a venue.

Pushing open the heavy door, a palette of withered yellow and dark brown hues greeted their eyes.

The soil beneath their feet was thick and stable, emitting a slightly damp aroma.

It exuded a unique scent originating from the earth.

Sparse vegetation was scattered haphazardly, its deep roots plunged into the soil, drawing nourishment.

As soon as Tu Yao entered, he felt a refreshing calm.

The environment rich in earth elements made him very comfortable, especially the central area, where the energy was most abundant.

"I wish I could stay here forever..." Lin Shu looked at Tu Yao's expression and nodded in satisfaction; this environment was excellent.

It was worth the 50,000 daxia currency per hour he spent.

He immediately began to act, proceeding according to the evolution requirements.

First, he instructed Tu Yao to dig a large hole in the center.

The evolution was to take place buried in the soil.

Tu Yao didn't waste any words and immediately got to work.

Today was his day to evolve, and he, too, found it hard to contain his excitement.

His tall, powerful body began to dig rapidly.

The speed was impressive; in just five minutes, a two-meter-deep circular pit was already before them.

Lin Shu took out four materials from his spatial ring.

He then casually tossed three of them into the pit; Tu Yao's evolution method was not as troublesome as Night's.

He quickly called Tu Yao over, telling him to open his mouth wide.

He then placed the thumb-sized Azure Mountain Spirit Crystal into it and began to instruct him.

"Just hold it; don't use force."

"If it breaks, the evolution will fail."

Tu Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and he quickly nodded in response.

He then carefully controlled his head, fearing he might accidentally crush the Azure Mountain Spirit Crystal inside.

His appearance was exactly like Night's before, and Lin Shu smiled knowingly.

It seemed all beast companions valued their evolution process and didn't want any mishaps.

"Jump in."

"This evolution will take about eight hours."

Tu Yao heard this and didn't hesitate, jumping straight in.

A muffled thud echoed from the bottom, and he immediately looked up at the opening, awaiting the next instruction.

Lin Shu, meanwhile, took a shovel from a nearby toolbox.

He began to backfill the soil he had dug out earlier, step by step.

As he worked, he informed Tu Yao.

"Next, I'm going to bury you."

"Don't be afraid; you'll be fine even if you stay in the ground for three days."

After all, he was a rock man; why wouldn't he be able to survive in the soil?

Tu Yao nodded obediently, accepting the incoming clumps of soil that slowly obscured his vision.

He felt no discomfort, but rather a sense of familiarity.

Ten minutes later, the deep pit was completely filled.

Lin Shu walked over and stepped on the center a few times to compact and solidify the ground below.

He then clapped his hands, shaking off the sand and dirt.

He then squatted down not far away, quietly waiting for the evolution to end.

Tu Yao's evolution process was not fraught with much danger.

After only a short wait, the area where the deep pit had been began to change.

Muddy yellow lines slowly emerged from below, rising upwards.

Like a spool of thread, they began to coil and intertwine, gradually weaving together.

They then transformed into a small tornado, whose powerful suction stirred up rolling yellow sand, swirling upwards.

Heavy and stable earth elements gathered above the tornado.

They were slowly drawn into the ground, entering Tu Yao's thick body.

There was no pain or torment, only an increasingly lightheaded sensation.

It was so comfortable that Tu Yao almost cried out.

"Is this evolution?"

"This is amazing!"

Compared to Night, it was truly a world apart.

Lin Shu also took out his phone and started scrolling through short videos.

He clearly knew how easy this evolution was... In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and Tu Yao's evolution was nearing its end.

The small tornado that had enveloped the area had dissipated, and the entire venue had become calm.

But then, the previously calm ground suddenly began to tremble.

Cracks instantly spread all around, and at the site of the original deep pit, immense energy was brewing, ready to erupt.

It was like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A tremendous sound suddenly erupted, and under the immense impact, mud and stones flew everywhere as a massive body leaped high out of the deep pit.

Muddy yellow energy swirled around his body, not dispersing, and with a wave of his hand, he stirred up whooshing sounds.

It was Tu Yao, who had just finished evolving.

Upon seeing him, Lin Shu couldn't help but marvel; Tu Yao's overall changes after evolution weren't too drastic.

Before him, a figure stood like a majestic peak, tall and resolute.

He resembled a steady mountain, his feet firmly rooted to the earth.

His broad shoulders seemed capable of bearing a thousand pounds, and his thick chest exuded an aura of strength.

Above, an ancient and powerful character "Wu," written in seal script, was striking and eye-catching.

His original earthy yellow exterior had turned bronze, shimmering with a metallic luster under the light.

His facial contours had become distinct, no longer as awkward and peculiar as before.

The determination and fearlessness in his eyes inspired awe.

Compared to before, the changes could truly be described as earth-shattering.

Lin Shu was especially pleased; this way, Tu Yao's dullness should also change.

After carefully feeling his greatly altered body,

Tu Yao immediately ran over, his long and powerful arms slowly lifting Lin Shu onto his shoulders.

This action was something he had secretly learned when Night evolved earlier.

However, the comfort of Tu Yao's shoulders far surpassed Night's.

They were so thick and soft, completely unlike stone.

He then began to check Tu Yao's panel.
