76: Reborn

When Wu Song saw the Double-Bladed Mantis run over, he immediately followed.

Although he didn't know where Lin Shu found such a powerful evolution path, these were things he couldn't speak of and had to keep buried in his heart.

Such things would attract too much attention.

Suppressing his curiosity, he was soon captivated by the perfect body of the evolved Dark Veil Hunter.

He couldn't help but exclaim that it was truly a work of art, that such a perfect evolution path actually existed.

His movements and expression were somewhat exaggerated, which made the Dark Veil Hunter feel a little scared and quickly retreat two steps.

"Don't go, let me have a good look!"

"Truly amazing..."

The Dark Veil Hunter had just evolved; how could he indulge him?

With a shake of its four wings on its back, it launched with extreme speed and immediately flew into the sky. Lin Shu quickly grabbed the Dark Veil Hunter's neck, afraid of falling, as he was still a little afraid of heights.

After evolving, the Dark Veil Hunter's flight speed had increased by more than just a little. It could easily perform various maneuvers in the air, and could also use Blade Qi Strike or other long-range skills to attack below, which was far stronger than its previous, useless flying ability.

This scene also made Lin Shu incredibly excited. Now he no longer had to fear water and flying type Imperial Beasts, as he had the means to contend with them.

But the Double-Bladed Mantis was not to be trifled with; it naturally also possessed the ability to fly. Perhaps not as comprehensively as the Dark Veil Hunter, but it was enough.

And so, Wu Song, riding the Double-Bladed Mantis, began a joyful aerial chase with Lin Shu and the Dark Veil Hunter.

Watching the agile and powerful Dark Veil Hunter fly around, Lin Shu could clearly feel that all aspects of the Dark Veil Hunter's abilities had significantly increased.

Exactly how much it had increased could not be expressed with data.

"I wonder what the Dark Veil Hunter's strength is now. I really wish an evenly matched opponent would appear right now for a fight," Lin Shu thought to himself.

However, there was an opportunity. The High School Cup competition was starting in a few days, and he could sign up for the individual competition.

Just as Lin Shu and Wu Song were playing and joking inside, a rapid sound of footsteps appeared at the entrance.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open forcefully, making a loud noise.

Coming into view was Gu Li, looking anxious.

This made Lin Shu and Wu Song look at each other, both a little confused about the situation.

They immediately landed and headed towards the entrance.

At this moment, Gu Li was also stunned, his face full of disbelief. He raised a finger and pointed at the tall Dark Veil Hunter beside Lin Shu.

He seemed to have a lot to say, but nothing came out.

He had already prepared for the worst in his heart.

He didn't expect it to actually evolve successfully!

Looking at the never-before-seen evolved form of the mantis, it was truly majestic and powerful, exuding a hint of mystery.

It made him feel a thrill of excitement.

"Mentor, why are you here?" Lin Shu quickly asked.

Gu Li looked at the evolved Dark Veil Hunter and then deeply at Lin Shu. The lengthy speech he had prepared in his heart suddenly couldn't be uttered.

He just said dryly,

"Nothing, weren't you going to evolve? I just came to see your evolution process."

Hearing this, Wu Song now understood why the Hall Master had come. It was because Lin Shu had not followed his proposed evolution path.

Worried that something serious might happen, he rushed over, truly dedicated.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu pushed the Dark Veil Hunter towards his mentor.

"Teacher, my evolution..."

"Alright, you don't need to explain to me."

Gu Li directly interrupted Lin Shu, who wanted to continue speaking, and instead said meaningfully,

"Regarding the source of this evolution path, you can tell outsiders that I gave it to you."

"Your current strength is too weak; you're easily coveted by others."

"You don't need to tell me the specific details of the evolution; this is yours."

"As your mentor, I have the obligation to protect you and what is yours."

As these words were uttered, a warm current surged through Lin Shu's heart. His mentor was truly too kind.

To think so much for him.

Lin Shu directly faced Gu Li and bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude.

"I understand, Mentor."

"Alright, no need for that. This is what I should do."

"Who knows, maybe I'll have to rely on you in the future."

"Haha."

Gu Li helped Lin Shu up, making a small joke at the same time.

Lin Shu also smiled slightly.

Wu Song quickly changed the subject, pointing at the Dark Veil Hunter and saying,

"Hall Master, what do you think of this? Isn't it handsome?"

Gu Li then turned his head and carefully observed the evolved Dark Veil Hunter.

"Tsk tsk tsk, truly impressive."

"This evolution path is truly extraordinary."

"It can't be just perfect quality, can it?"

As expected of his mentor, his eyesight was sharp. He could see the clues with just a few glances.

He also noticed that the Dark Veil Hunter had already reached level 27, gaining five levels in one week.

Its speed truly hadn't slowed down at all.

Wu Song, however, was somewhat incredulous, his eyes wide. He wondered where this kid got such a Lord-quality evolution path.

Actually, there were many things he hadn't said. Based on the materials Lin Shu sent him, plus the spatial aura he could sense from the energy overflowing after the Dark Veil Hunter's evolution.

This indicated that this evolution path could increase spatial attributes. Such an evolution path was simply priceless.

Let alone others, even Gu Li himself couldn't help but want to claim it for his own; this was a money printer.

However, he quickly suppressed this thought. His nature wouldn't allow him to do such a thing, and this evolution path also had many drawbacks. It might not be suitable for all Shadow Mantises, various information was unknown, there was no path for subsequent evolution, and so on.

"Yes, it's Lord quality."

Lin Shu didn't hide it and directly confirmed.

"Damn, I knew why you were making such a big scene."

Wu Song patted his forehead, seemingly thinking he was adorably foolish. He never really thought much.

He hadn't considered this angle at all before.

Gu Li nodded, not surprised, and began to admonish Wu Song, saying,

"You big mouth, don't blab about this."

"Otherwise, the trouble will be huge. Just keep it to yourself."

"Hey, Hall Master, I know. You really think I'm an idiot, don't you?"

Wu Song shrugged, somewhat displeased. Of course, he knew these simple principles.

"But you'll have a headache with the subsequent evolution paths later. Your decision was a bit rash."

"By the way, what's the name of this evolved form?"

Gu Li said with some regret.

"Dark Veil Hunter."

"We'll take it one step at a time. I'm still young, no rush."

Both of them nodded at the words. The name was not bad.

Gu Li was quite curious about the Dark Veil Hunter, mainly about the Dark Veil Hunter form.

He led Lin Shu and Wu Song out of the dark arena and to one of the training grounds.

He planned to test the Dark Veil Hunter's current strength.

Lin Shu also agreed with this; he also wanted to understand it in detail.

Although everyone hadn't slept all night, they were all quite excited now, with no sign of sleepiness.

They began a comprehensive test, with the cooperation of the Double-Bladed Mantis...
