Chapter 19 Second Evolution

Xiao Yi then glanced below at the purple mist scattering around, which was released after opening his lotus wrap and releasing the flower.

After a while, the mist became lighter, revealing the dead purple flower and a purple soul ring.

'Before the poison mist dissipates, I should absorb this soul ring.'

Xiao Yi thought to himself and sat cross-legged on the branch and attracted the purple soul ring from below toward his ivy martial spirit.

Instantly, a mild spirit energy spread through his body.

Three-turn spirit art!!!

Xiao Yi ran the new evolved spirit art, and instantly all that energy transformed into three types of energy, i.e., soul power, spiritual essence, and blood energy, enhancing his soul and physique.

Forty First Level, Spirit Ancestor,

Instantly his soul power broke through and his whole body shook; his bones released popping sounds like bean sprouts.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes thoughtfully, looking at his white ivy, which changed a little and became light purple with a lot of leaf layers, and he could see long, thin stems rotating each layer, like twisted fiber ropes.

'It just took me ten minutes to absorb a thousand years soul ring; after next evolution, my spirit art will decrease the timing even more; also, my soul power quality is three times higher than other normal spirit master's,'

Xiao Yi thought to himself, feeling his soulpower quality.

He then glanced at his fourth purple soul ring. He muttered thoughtfully, "First I should evolve my white ivy martial spirit again and then evolve this soul ring."

After deciding, he directly activated the unlimited evolution talent, aiming at his white ivy martial spirit, and then filtered all those evolution options into the recommended direction.

[Please choose the evolution direction.]

[Direction 1689: 10,000-year-old white lotus queen, with strong vitality, endurance, and life attributes, recommended for support department]

[Direction 2765: 10,000 years green vine king, with strong endurance, toughness, and poison attribute, recommended for control department]

[Direction 7890: 10,000-year-old red sword grass king, with strong toughness, power, and sharp attributes]

[Direction 137890: 10,000 years white vine king, with strong vitality, endurance, toughness, and poison attributes, recommended for support and control department]

"This option 137890 is perfect; until sixth soul rings there won't be a problem for me going on both route support and control, then at spirit saint level I will absorb the attack department soul ring and evolve it into a perfect universal martial spirit."

Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully; his eyes lit up seeing the dual department recommendation in the last option; he directly chose it.

Instantly a dense white light flashed on his white ivy martial spirit. 

Slowly the purple color on his spirit faded away, and it's two main vines divided into four, eight, and then sixteen vines, and they grew longer; those layers of leaves above it merged with the main vine, and the vine width shrank and became more round and pointy from the tips. Then their tips turned purple, and one by one arc-shaped golden and purple double lines appeared above the vines.

After a while,

Slowly the white light faded away, revealing sixteen long, round vines hanging around Xiao Yi's right hand.

'They look like Doflamingo's last thread attacks if you ignore the purple lines above them.' 

Xiao Yi thought in surprise and glanced at the flawless round white vine appearance and purple tips.

There are arc-shaped, wavy, parallel golden and purple lines, from the tip to the base of these vines.

Instantly, refreshed four skills appeared in his mind,

Quick Healing! 

First soul skill: injecting a vitality through the tip of the martial soul can increase the healing by 400% for 4 minutes duration.

Lotus Breath!!

Second soul skill: white lotus petals grow on the martial spirit vines; it can increase the recovery of soul power by 400% for 40 second duration; combining with the third soul skill can have unexpected effects.

Star Barrier!!!

Third soul skill: creates a starry barrier in a short range; increase the friendly unit's all attributes by 50% and practice speed by 10% for 4 minutes; increase personal all attributes by 100% actively for 4 minutes; and practice speed by 20% passively for permanent duration.

Purple Mist!!!!

Fourth soul skill: releasing the poisonous purple mist in a wide range for concealing assassination and immobilizing the opponents with poison; combining with the second soul skill adds a hallucination effect to the mist; combining with the third soul ring increases the poison damage by 100% inside the barrier.

"These skills are now extremely amazing; as expected of king-level plant martial spirit, there is a huge difference from before."

Xiao Yi muttered, his eyes lit up after seeing the effect of all four skills.

After observing his martial spirit, he nodded satisfyingly, then evolved his fourth soul ring to ten thousand years.

Instantly a black light flashed on his fourth soul ring, and it started upgrading it.

Xiao Yi felt a huge feedback of energy in his body. Three-turn spirit art started running at an alarming rate, absorbing and refining the energy.

Forty Second Level, Spirit Ancestor,

Slowly the energy feedback subsided, 'Only one level, it seems because of my high-quality soul power the energy requirement increased,'

Xiao Yi thought to himself, then he glanced at his second martial spirit. 

"Well, it's time to absorb the second soul ring for my needle martial spirit, but first I have to evolve it also."

Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully and activated the unlimited evolution function, looking at his needle martial spirit.

[Direction 998990: Five-element needle, control the five elements, suppresses the elements of heaven and earth, recommended for all departments]

Looking at the option of a five-element needle, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up with a wide smile appearing on his face.

"Perfect, this five-element needle is amazing; I can now absorb the five-element soul rings before next evolution," Xiao Yi muttered thoughtfully and selected this option.

Instantly, a five-color light flashed on his needle spirit; after a while, the light subsided, revealing the needle with a five-color layer flickering above it.
