Chapter 74: New Form, Dream b.u.t.terfly!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ordinary Sprite Trainers may prepare an excessive amount of elemental essences and jade powder when setting up an evolution venue for their sprites… After all, they can sell them even if they can’t finish them.”
“But for some unorthodox supplementary materials, only a high-level Sprite Cultivator can match them according to the conditions of the sprite.”
“Even so, it’s very difficult to perfectly unearth the evolutionary effects.”
With Su Hao’s current level, the most he could give Silkworm Baby was relatively common supplementary materials such as Wood Spiritual Fruit.
But after looking at the plan given by the interface, he gave off an “oh”.
“Speaking of which, the evolution of sprites is actually a choice of genes.
“Some sprites have stable genes with only one evolutionary direction, but some others have many types of direction.”
Silkworm Baby wasn’t the most representative sprite.
The most special sprite was the Three-Tailed Fox.
At its initial form, there was no indication of any elemental inclination.
But after a period of evolution, it could evolve into Ice Six Tails, Flaming Six Tails, Sword Six Tails, etc.
“In comparison, Silkworm Baby’s evolution is actually an elimination of the pros and cons.”
“Only those who are outstanding enough can step into the difficult evolution pathway.”
The evolution pathway of Reverie b.u.t.terfly was undoubtedly the most difficult.
It had yet to be discovered.
Especially when the spiritual force was greater than 150, many entry-level sprites couldn’t do it.
At the moment, there was a systematic spiritual force training method. Some sects also possessed special methods to train the physique, but Su Hao rarely heard of people training their mental strength.
Even for Silkworm Baby, its current spiritual force was only slightly higher than the evolution requirement.
Among the cultivation plans that Silkworm Baby could unlock, there was none for mental strength enhancement.
If the case was like this even for Su Hao, it was no wonder that the evolution pathway of Reverie b.u.t.terfly had never been discovered.
There were two other pathways.
The Six-Winged Flying Silkworm was simpler. Apart from general materials, the other requirements include speed, agility and the necessary material – hard ironwood.
The first Six-Winged Flying Silkworm appeared in a hard ironwood forest.
On the other hand, “Silkworm Baby → Rolling Pupae → White-Winged Moth”, which was more inclined towards productive sprites, required further lowering of the requirements. There was almost zero requirements needed.
“Even sprites that haven’t been cultivated much can evolve into rolling pupae or even White Feather Moths.”
“Silkworm Babies that have undergone cultivation, especially speed training, often evolve into Six-Winged Flying Silkworms.”
“But this Silkworm Baby’s spiritual force is strong, and it has mastered the unique skill of the Illusion element, so its evolution direction is already leaning towards Reverie b.u.t.terfly.”
To Su Hao, there was no uncertainty, he only believed in one outcome.
…
Sat.u.r.day.
Su Hao brought the materials he had prepared, together with Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow, to the back of Sprite Square, the evolution area.
At Wood-element A-cla.s.s venue.
Standing outside the transparent gla.s.s window, Su Hao saw how the inside of the venue was filled with straight trees connected to the dome.
All kinds of plants were set up in the field, and the stream flowed smoothly.
It was like a small-scale botanical garden.
Looking at the appearance of the venue, Su Hao couldn’t even say the word “expensive”.
It was worth it!
“Sir, this way please.”
The staff member opened a side door before stating, “Please arrange the materials you need in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong during the sprite’s evolution.”
Su Hao nodded.
When he stepped in, he felt that the air became much fresher, and his mind trembled.
He walked quickly to the center of the botanical garden and placed all kinds of materials that he had long prepared, around the place.
For example, Mist Flowers and Emerald Bamboo.
When Silkworm Baby evolved, it didn’t need to swallow them. It only needed to absorb the “spirituality” of the materials in succession during the evolution process so as to meet the conditions and successfully evolve.
Su Hao had also prepared hard ironwood.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he hadn’t prepared the necessary materials for evolution into a Six-Winged Flying Silkworm.
“But it’s not for nothing. Absorbing the spirituality of hard ironwood can increase its physical strength a little.”
This absorption could only be done during the evolution process.
Mist Flower and Green Jade Bamboo were not eye-catching among the many wood-element supplementary materials.
Su Hao arranged the ingredients one by one, leaving only the Wood-Element Essence for Silkworm Baby to consume.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
When he walked out, Silkworm Baby was looking around somewhat anxiously.
It was commonly known as the pre-evolutionary anxiety syndrome.
It had seen pictures of the Six-Winged Flying Silkworm and the Rolling Pupae. They were both a little ugly.
However, Su Hao told it that its evolution was an elegant and beautiful sprite.
What Su Hao said was probably true.
What kind of sprite was it?
Silkworm Baby couldn’t wait.
But it still needed to wait.
“In about half an hour, the spiritual force in the A-cla.s.s venue will reach its peak. By then, your sprite can enter.”
The staff member gave Silkworm Baby a few more looks.
This was the first time he had seen such a fat Silkworm Baby with such beautiful patterns.
But after evolving into a Six-Winged Flying Silkworm, could it fly fast with such a fat body?
“Su Hao!”
Chatterbox Liu’s voice came from afar, “I’m here to cheer your Silkworm G.o.d on.”
Su Hao looked over.
He saw one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…
A nest of cla.s.smates!
And Old Chen!
The corners of his mouth twitched. “Such a big formation?”
“We heard from Liu Ren that your Silkworm Baby is going to evolve today, so we came over.”
Li Songting gave him and Silkworm Baby a thumbs up while cheering, “Come on!”
Gu Lingyao stuck her head out from behind him and waved her fair arms, shouting, “Come on ~”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He should have known. The whole school would have known about the things Liu Ren knew.
But this feeling of being watched…
It felt pretty good!
Silkworm Baby wasn’t even nervous anymore. It raised its head high.
“Gurgle ~ ๑ (๑ ω ๑) ๑”
After that, it laid on the transparent gla.s.s window again.
Its big eyes stared straight at the evolutionary materials inside.
They were all his things, he had to keep a close eye on them, there was no way he would miss them!
The spiritual energy value gradually increased. At this time, even Coach Xiong came.
“I’m not late, right?”
“Coach, why are you here too?”
Su Hao sweated.
No one should know that Silkworm Baby was about to evolve into a new form. Why did everyone look like they were here to bear witness to the big news!
“Because, I’m also very curious how strong your Silkworm Baby can become after it evolves.”
The spiritual energy reached its peak.
The staff member indicated that they could begin.
Su Hao opened the special small wooden chest, revealing twelve portions of wood-element essence.
The wood-element essence was in the form of liquid and were stored in crystal bottles. Su Hao opened the first crystal bottle.
“Gurgle!”
Silkworm Baby took a little breath, and the emerald green liquid in the bottle entered its mouth.
It swallowed the second and third portions…
At the tenth portion, the energy in its body was acc.u.mulated to the maximum.
It couldn’t swallow anymore. “Gurgle.”
Su Hao looked at the staff member and said, “Open the door.”
The door of the evolution field opened, and Silkworm Baby rushed in swiftly.
The door closed again.
On the other side of the transparent gla.s.s window, pairs of eyes looked at the light yellow body.
It rushed to the center of the field, into the pile of materials.
At this moment…
The Wood-Element Essence that it had swallowed started to take effect.
A dazzling light shone from Silkworm Baby’s body.
Bright green threads emerged from its body, wrapping around it.
It gradually interwoven into a huge light coc.o.o.n.
The light coc.o.o.n constantly absorbed nutrients from its surroundings.
Spiritual energy.
The spirituality of the surrounding evolution materials flowed in bit by bit.
Su Hao noticed that some of the evolution materials had dimmed a little.
And the rays of the coc.o.o.n of light became brighter and brighter.
It was like an embryo giving birth to a new life.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Thirty minutes.
The bright green light covered the entire arena, seeping out of the gla.s.s window.
The experienced staff member covered his mouth and widened his eyes.
Finally…
The light after the big spill of rays quickly faded.
The light coc.o.o.n shattered, turning into countless light dots scattering everywhere.
The sound of the interface rang in Su Hao’s ears. It had been a long time since he heard it.
“Ding! Your Sprite, Silkworm Baby, has completed its evolution and became a new form: Reverie b.u.t.terfly (changeable).”
“Ding! Your sprite has comprehended a new unique skill during the baptism of evolution…”
