28: Void Hunter!
It actually takes time for the entry to evolve?
In the past, evolution was instantaneous; yet, this also showed that the reaction between this entry and the Mantis was extraordinary!
Perhaps, it was digesting the power of the Abyss.
With that thought, Ye Ze simply waited there.
If he went back and the evolution completed with some anomaly, he really wouldn't know how to explain it.
After all, this was no ordinary power.
'Endless Void' and 'Eternal Abyss' were both dimensions that humanity currently couldn't comprehend, and were extraordinarily powerful and terrifying.
Once it was discovered that Ye Ze was actually trying to fuse the former with the latter...
It was certain to cause a massive upheaval in the N/A academic world!
Countless troubles would be unavoidable...
Ye Ze leaned against the temple entrance, using his mental power to observe his Summoned Beast space.
The stronger the mental power, the larger the space and the stronger the auxiliary effects; currently, Ye Ze's Summoned Beast space was only comparable to a small campsite of over a hundred square meters.
The dark purple giant egg enveloping the Extreme Blade Mantis continuously undulated, as if breathing.
A full two or three hours passed...
Under Ye Ze's expectant gaze, the giant egg cracked open!
"Did it succeed?"
Could it adapt to the pollution of the Abyss?
If not, it meant this Extreme Blade Mantis would surely die, beyond saving.
The cracks in the dark purple giant egg grew larger and larger, and a figure emerged from within!
The Mantis's originally green-gray body turned into a deep dark purple interspersed with black; its wings seemed to be composed of black hole energy, with purple energy fluctuations flowing at the edges.
Its Compound Eyes were Red like shooting stars; its arm blades were like dark crystals reflecting nebulae, symbolizing destruction and devastation.
The Mantis's aura was no longer fierce and irritable, but rather its killing intent was restrained, with an indescribable mystery and terror in its calmness.
At the same time, two prompts popped up—
【Evolution Complete!】
【This is the first time humanity has witnessed and subdued a Void Creatures, you have gained a special title: Void Initial Observer!】
【Summoned Beast: Extreme Blade Mantis (Excellent ☆☆☆☆) evolved → Void Hunter (Gold Legendary)!】
Ye Ze couldn't help but beam with joy.
"This is... a successful evolution!"
And it was a Gold Legendary!!
He quickly checked the Mantis's attribute panel, wanting to confirm if the Abyss's characteristics were still present...
【Void Hunter·Red-Eyed Mantis】
Quality: Gold Legendary
Level: 7
Attributes: Strength 165, Constitution 155, Agility 173, Spirit 145.
Characteristic: Hunter – After defeating a strong enemy, any body part of the Void Mantis can be evolved, gaining corresponding additional attribute boosts.
Talents: Void Creatures (Legendary), Void Shuttle (Legendary), Compound Eyes (Excellent)
Skills: Void Slash lv.6 (Legendary), Void Thrust lv.4 (Legendary).
Status: Excited.
————
The pollution of the Abyss's aura was actually adapted to!
And, the original characteristic was even enhanced?
Moreover, if it weren't for the Panda gaining a large number of attributes through 'Eat What You Eat', the Mantis's evolution this time would have almost surpassed the Panda's attributes.
"I didn't expect my first Gold Legendary to be obtained this way!"
Only fewer than 10 people in the entire N/A possessed Gold Legendary Summoned Beasts!
The few who did were veteran high-level Summoner who had accumulated strength over many years.
Theoretically, a Gold Legendary quality Summoned Beast's abilities and growth value roughly corresponded to a 5th-tier professional.
In other words, it would be more reasonable for a Level 50 Summoner to contract a Legendary Summoned Beast.
But who would have thought that Ye Ze was only Level 7...
Having two Epic and one Legendary Summoned Beasts, no one would dare to believe it if he told them!
Furthermore, the Mantis's abilities were much stronger than the Legendary ones Ye Ze had seen in the bestiary!
Its talents and abilities were practically unsolvable!
Among them, 'Void Shuttle' was the strongest displacement + offense/defense + virtualization skill he had ever seen:
【Void Shuttle: Freely shuttle between the Void and the current dimension, capable of rapidly changing locations; can leave a projection in the current dimension, and shuttle into the Void to achieve physical etherealization.】
No cooldown!
Only consumes a slight amount of mental power!
If Ye Ze wasn't a Void Creatures and wouldn't easily die by shuttling into the Void, he would have wanted to copy this skill.
It was too overpowered!
Aside from Void Shuttle, the other skills were purely high-burst damage!
The only skill that wasn't Legendary, 'Compound Eyes', also had an irreplaceable role:
【Compound Eyes: Composed of thousands of small eyes, 360° field of vision, unaffected by dark environments, capable of precisely tracking fast-moving or hidden targets.】
The Mantis's skill configuration was nothing short of a 'killing machine'!
It was even an existence that could continuously evolve!
From its Hunter panel:
【Arm Blades】【Exoskeleton】【Compound Eyes】【Wings】 There were four parts that could evolve.
Just didn't know what the effect would be after evolution...
Ye Ze watched the Void Mantis constantly experiencing its new power, and couldn't help but tease:
"How is it, are you satisfied with your strength?"
The Void Mantis looked extremely excited: "I love this power so much... Master!"
Its current Level 7 attributes were even higher than its previous Level 14 attributes!
This was the advantage of high-quality Summoned Beasts.
Ye Ze's lips curved upwards, another top-tier fighter!
At the same time, a surge of power fed back into Ye Ze's body:
【Ding! Your contracted Summoned Beast has received a massive boost, and will feed back a portion of its attributes to you!】
【Your attributes have increased: Strength +20, Constitution +20, Agility +20, Spirit +20!】
Because the Mantis was upgraded to Gold Legendary, this attribute feedback was much greater.
With his attributes soaring, Ye Ze couldn't help but ponder:
Originally, his goal for the college entrance exam was to be within the top fifty.
This was actually an exaggerated goal, because the higher the ranking, the more he had to compete with the Elite Class and rich second-generation professionals.
These people not only had excellent talents and high levels, but also had no shortage of equipment and skills.
Even matters such as equipment and skill matching, and professional advancement, were planned by dedicated personnel, leading to immense competitive pressure.
But now... he suddenly felt:
With my Summoned Beast level, getting the top score in the college entrance exam shouldn't be too much, right?
But before the college entrance exam in 8 days...
He still needed to level up!
At the very least, he needed to be above Level 12 after his first advancement to be more confident.
There were even rumors that due to the increasingly serious threat from the Abyss, this year's professional college entrance exam would undergo a major reform...
He wondered how it would change?
It was getting late, so Ye Ze decided to first hand in his military merit mission and leave the Pollution Land.
Tomorrow, there was another opportunity for an extra-large group dungeon, with the entire grade participating, sponsored by the state, and free entry.
Another good opportunity to level up!
Returning along the same path from the Pollution Land, Ye Ze was about to enter the Scout Camp bounty point to hand in his mission.
But he saw the Scout Camp commander and a higher-ranking military officer looking out at the entrance of the Pollution Land, and their expressions became excited when they saw Ye Ze.
It seemed they had been waiting for Ye Ze for a long time!
