181: The Evolution of Tuyao (Part 2)

(Thank you all for the gifts. I'll be adding more chapters these few days. Also, I'd like to ask for your 'Power Generation for Love' and good reviews. Thank you for your continuous support!)

Without waiting too long, Tu Yao's evolution process had already quietly begun.

First, the earth-attribute spiritual objects that had been swallowed earlier began to emit energy, which immediately stimulated the battle-attribute Materials circling above his head.

The Aura leaking from them slowly merged into Tu Yao's body.

Invisible ripples and earthy yellow light filled the entire deep pit.

Surging energy continued to accumulate within.

It mobilized the two types of energy that were already incredibly abundant within Tu Yao's body.

At this moment, the evolution Materials were transforming everything inside his body.

This change was clearly visible, and the more energy was absorbed, the faster the speed became.

At this moment, intense pain flared up simultaneously within his body and spirit, and the transformation reached its first major wave of change.

Tu Yao clenched his fists and held his head, silently resisting all the pain.

Possessing the combat system, his endurance for ordinary pain had reached a freakish height.

Ordinary pain was not worth mentioning at all and would not elicit the slightest reaction.

But this time, it was a pain that went deep into his Soul and body; even he couldn't help but tremble. He felt somewhat weak, yet he still endured with his tough and tenacious will.

He didn't want his master to worry about him; this was just a small difficulty that he could completely handle.

Otherwise, how else could he stay by his master's side to protect him?

With a will that permeated his very life playing a huge role, Tu Yao felt that everything was not a problem.

He even mobilized his body to speed up the energy absorption; this was a sufficiently crazy decision.

Tu Yao's expression was distorted, and a sense of Chaos filled his body and spirit, feeling as if he were about to ascend in the next moment.

The intense pain in his body and spirit bent his back slightly, but Tu Yao remained as silent as a stubborn rock, simply closing his eyes and enjoying the process.

Earth and battle-system energy, emitting strong ripples, broke through the soil and rushed out from the pit.

They brought with them bursts of violent cyclones, containing an unyielding will and faint, indistinct shouts.

This was the manifestation of Battle Qi energy.

Even though Lin Shu was ten meters away, he could still feel the heavy and crazy Aura ripples.

Everyone watched with worry, especially Ziyu and Silver Spirit; how could an evolution be so dangerous?

Even Hei Ye looked ahead with a solemn expression; to be ravaged by this level of energy and still actively speed up absorption was truly reckless.

That fool Tu Yao, how did he become so crazy?

Ziyu and Silver Spirit watched with palpitations.

A heavy and solid feeling pressed on Ziyu' heart, making it hard for him to breathe. His face showed admiration; Tu Yao's courage and madness were unbelievable to him.

Silver Spirit also found it difficult to move. The invisible Battle Qi surged like ocean waves, constantly battering his mind. The mere Aura emitted suppressed his spirit; he couldn't imagine what kind of scene Tu Yao was enduring down below.

Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged, but his clenched left hand hidden behind his back betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

Tu Yao's evolution content and method were the simplest, but the difficulty was slightly higher than even Hei Ye's evolution. This was a dual test of body and spirit; any slight carelessness would lead to evolution failure.

Furthermore, within the evolution pathway, there was no way to alleviate the pain; one could only rely on the beast's own will to endure it.

But Lin Shu knew Tu Yao; he would definitely persevere until the evolution was successful!

He felt there was no doubt about this; Tu Yao had never disappointed him, and this time would be no exception.

In the vast field, it was now deathly silent.

Only violent energy ran rampant within it.

Destroying the entire area, the once clean and tidy ground was now a complete mess in an instant.

Just like that, such a scene lasted for an hour.

The surroundings suddenly calmed down, and no Aura could be felt appearing.

And it was only now that Lin Shu finally revealed a smile. Seeing this, Hei Ye, Ziyu, and Silver Spirit also immediately felt relieved.

The master showing such an expression meant that Tu Yao's evolution was successful.

Sure enough, the ground ahead suddenly began to shake with great momentum, and the distance directly cracked open, with crisscrossing fissures like hideous wounds.

Dust rose up amidst the tremors, directly blurring the field of vision.

The earth trembled violently at this moment, as if some great terror was brewing below.

A huge figure burst out from below, sending a large amount of crushed rocks and silt splashing everywhere.

A surging Aura was revealed without reservation, as if it came from a king of the earth.

As the vision cleared, Tu Yao's evolved form appeared before everyone's eyes.

That body, forged from hard rock, emitted a thick and cold Aura.

Like a towering mountain peak standing upon the earth.

Lustrous white stones were tightly fitted together, flashing with a metallic luster, forming an indestructible armor.

His head had become square and majestic, and his eyes were like burning flames, projecting a firm battle will and fearless courage.

The rock-carved face had distinct contours; though it lacked the delicate expressions of a human, it possessed an ancient and solemn majesty.

His limbs were thick and powerful, every step causing the earth to tremble slightly. His legs stood firmly, like a giant tree rooted in the earth, giving a sense of being unshakable.

The ancient 'Martial' character originally on his chest had also changed, replaced by 'Monarch'.

Like silver hooks and iron strokes, it was clearly reflected on his bare chest, displaying a full domineering color.

When Tu Yao saw everyone, that originally unattainable Aura instantly vanished, and he turned back into that somewhat honest stone man. Hei Ye, Ziyu, and Silver Spirit quickly went to his side to observe him.

Lin Shu looked at the newly evolved Tu Yao and was very satisfied; such a posture was truly magnificent.

The strength of the Pán Shān Battle Monarch seemed terrifyingly high.

He then proceeded to check the panel.

[Profound Truth]: Earthly mysteries - (0.021%)

This time Tu Yao evolved, there wasn't much change on the panel; the only addition was that one new Super Grade skill.

But this alone far surpassed the previous evolutions of Hei Ye and Ziyu.

After all, they had only awakened Advanced skills at most after their evolutions.

The reason might be related to the evolution Rank; after all, the higher the Rank, the easier it is to comprehend high-level skills.

Thousand-Jin Rock-Breaking Punch is an Earth-type skill with a single effect: it's a pure attack-type skill.

It could be considered an additional means of offense for Tu Yao.

It was a bit of a pity it wasn't a Super Grade battle-system skill.

Otherwise, the help in battle would have been even greater.

However, Lin Shu was already satisfied with this; having it was good enough, one couldn't force these things.

Tu Yao, just like last time, gently placed Lin Shu on his shoulder.

Vaguely remembering the last evolution was also like this, a softness appeared in Tu Yao's eyes.

Without his master, he would still be that small stone ball without spiritual intelligence.

Lin Shu looked down as Hei Ye, Ziyu, and Silver Spirit all took flight, circling around them.

It was as if they were showing off their flying abilities.

Currently, among his beasts, only Tu Yao was unable to fly...

He wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Lin Shu intended to test the power of this Super Grade skill.

He expected it wouldn't disappoint him.
