182. Hell Spiritual Cat evolves, shocking final evolution direction! [First Update]_1

Zhu Zhuyun felt there must have been something wrong with her eyes because she actually thought the snail looked quite handsome...

Moreover, she could make out a distinctly happy expression on the face of the snail.

That was just too bizarre!

"Meow~"

Little Snail moved its body in a wave-like motion and crawled over to Zhu Zhuyun.

When it reached Zhu Zhuyun, it lifted its head and looked at its owner with an obedient expression, making a small cat-like sound again.

"Meow~"

Although the pet looked a bit odd, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't hide her affection as she knelt down to stroke Little Snail's head.

Little Snail squinted happily, turned around, and took a collar and leash out of its shell with its mouth.

"What's this?"

"Just treat it like a dog."

Lin Yi said.

It was indeed unexpected for Lin Yi to get Little Snail as a pet. While it was a popular pet, it seemed somewhat lacking here since Little Snail didn't have the exaggerated abilities of War God Tom.

However, keeping it for emotional cultivation wasn't a bad idea, who could resist a clam-snail that meowed like a kitten?

"Yes, Senior."

Zhu Zhuyun put the collar on Little Snail and took it offstage, temporarily handing it over to Davis.

Maybe this adorable little snail had some surprising abilities?

This was a pet given by Senior Lin Yi, and that alone was enough to showcase its extraordinariness.

Watching Zhu Zhuyun leave the stage, Little Snail suddenly turned back to look at Davis, its expression turning fierce, revealing sharp teeth.

"Woof—Woof! Woof!"

Davis's eyes widened.

Holy shit! Did that snail just bark like a dog?!

...

Zhu Zhuyun's second attack still followed the same pattern, while Dai Ben switched to using the White Tiger Intense Light Wave.

Zhu Zhuyun charged at Lin Yi, her body moving as fast as a ghost, creating several afterimages on the stage.

This was basic agility attack system Soul Master maneuvering, but in Lin Yi's eyes, it was still insignificant, still too slow.

As she neared, a pale barrage of claw shadows enveloped the space, the long and sharp claws slashing through the air with "swoosh swoosh" sounds, and Zhu Zhuyun's hair fluttered wildly, adding a taste of madness to her form.

This was another combination of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and the Hundred Hell Claws.

After Zhu Zhuyun finished her attack, she did a side flip to dodge to the side, and then quickly ran towards Dai Ben's direction.

She had no choice but to avoid the Damage Rebound, especially at such close range.

"Boom!"

The White Tiger Intense Light Wave was unleashed, a thick white pillar of light struck Lin Yi with pinpoint accuracy.

By this moment, Zhu Zhuyun had already reached behind Dai Ben.

"White Tiger Diamond Transformation!"

Dai Ben did not dare to relax and immediately waved his fierce, enormous tiger claws, shredding the incoming Damage Rebound to pieces under the effect of Tyrant Body.

Afterward, both of them were a bit out of breath.

Not because they had used up too much Soul Power, but because the existence of the Damage Rebound kept them on edge, afraid to make a mistake.

[Damage: 146784]

[Remaining Health: 899956508143]

[Damage Grade: Black (Intermediate)]

[Random Reward: Evolution Crystal]

[Host Reward: Evolution Spirit Stone]

"Damage 146784, Black Intermediate Level, and a reward of one Evolution Crystal; based on previous examples, this is likely to be applied to your Martial Soul."

Zhu Zhuyun was slightly startled.

Could it be that her Hell Spiritual Cat was about to evolve?

What would it evolve into?

Since it was evolution and not mutation, it must be moving in a positive direction, right?!

Suddenly, numerous questions flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's mind.

She couldn't deny that she was also getting excited. Who wouldn't want their Martial Soul to undergo a positive evolution?

Ning Fengzhi very much did, so much that it made his teeth itch...

How could she have such good luck! He roared inwardly from below the stage, almost grinding his teeth to dust with jealousy!

"The direction of evolution will be apparent after you merge with it,"

Lin Yi finished speaking and flicked the black light orb toward Zhu Zhuyun.

The orb automatically transformed into a Crystal Stone and merged into Zhu Zhuyun's body.

Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for the result of the evolution.

About a minute passed, and Zhu Zhuyun opened her eyes, shooting a black light from her pupils.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly at that moment: "I smell... the scent of the darkness element."

"Darkness element?"

Zhu Zhuyun heard Gu Yuena talking to herself and couldn't help but ask.

She could feel her Martial Soul evolving but wasn't clear about which direction the evolution had taken.

In any case, she should release her Martial Soul first, letting the senior take a look. He should understand what was happening.

Zhu Zhuyun stood up, released her Martial Soul, and to everyone's shock, a roar of a mighty tiger emanated from her!

Dai Ben was dumbstruck for a moment. A cat turning into a tiger?

The next moment, a black shade emanated from Zhu Zhuyun's body, with a fierce tiger, its red eyes ablaze and black qi all around, appearing like an ink-drawn shadowy figure behind her.

"Roar—"

The black tiger's enormous paws scraped the ground restlessly, looking savage and emitting an intimidating presence as if ready to devour everyone at any moment.

At this moment, both Lin Yi and Gu Yuena could feel the strong fluctuations of the darkness element.

Dai Ben even felt his Martial Soul suppressed by it.

The name of this Martial Soul quickly appeared on Lin Yi's System panel.

[Dark Demon Tiger]

The name seemed familiar to Lin Yi, and there was a detailed note about the Martial Soul beside it.

After reading, Lin Yi understood, and related content from the original story emerged in his mind.

This Martial Soul was indeed extraordinary!

"It's called the Dark Demon Tiger, which might sound unfamiliar to some, but its ultimate evolutionary direction is definitely a very formidable Martial Soul category, which those three are certainly well aware of,"

Lin Yi said and hinted at Gu Yuena with his eyes.

Zhu Zhuyun, already thrilled by the transition of her cat Martial Soul to a tiger one, had her curiosity further piqued by Lin Yi's words.

"What is the ultimate direction of evolution?"

She eagerly asked.

Lin Yi, however, directed his gaze towards Gu Yuena, as though he intended to test the Silver Dragon Princess on the spot.

"Dark Evil Tiger,"

Gu Yuena mused.

If she were an opponent, it would definitely be a troublesome soul beast to deal with.

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, "Exactly, the Dark Evil Tiger with the bloodline of the Evil God. It possesses not only the uttermost evil attribute but also darkness, thunder, wind, space, and time attributes. Overall, it's very powerful."

Gu Yuena did not argue, indicating she agreed with Lin Yi's statement, and indeed, the Aquipeia Forest was home to a Dark Evil Tiger at that moment.

Lin Yi still remembered how this creature almost took Tang San's life in the original story.

"However, the Evolution Crystal only has one hundred evolutionary points, so you could only evolve into a Dark Demon Tiger. Although Dark Demon Tiger only has the darkness attribute, it is also extremely powerful among Tiger-Type Martial Souls, not inferior to the White Tiger,"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head nervously, worried that Dai Ben would feel resentful upon hearing it.

Contrary to her expectations, Dai Ben's face expressed satisfaction.

For Zhu Zhuyun to become stronger was a good thing, beneficial for Xingluo; it wasn't an emperor's place to quibble over whether the Dark Demon Tiger or the White Tiger was stronger or weaker.

"Zhu Yun, strive for higher-level Evolution Stones later on,"

Dai Ben said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Zhuyun replied eagerly and happily.

Now, there was another person desperately anticipating rewards related to evolution. Lin Yi thought to himself.

After Zhu Zhuyun left the stage, Dai Ben faced Lin Yi.

It was time for the "blind" emperor to attack.
