500 Body Advancement, Split into Pieces
“The last ice crystal mine.”
Under the vast Southern Frost Ice Mountain, Wang Che looked at the empty mine.
A month passed. The little skeleton constantly destroyed its body every day and simply absorbed countless ice crystals.
“The energy contained in an entire mine was completely absorbed in a short month.”
!!
The energy of the entire mine was immense. Even if it was only a small strip, it was enough for many soul beasts to cultivate for a period of time.
It did not expect the little skeleton to absorb it completely in a month.
At this moment, the little skeleton’s bones emitted a faint ice glow that flickered at all times.
“Its body should be upgrading.”
“The energy has been completely absorbed and tempered by the body. The soul power fluctuation is not strong.”
Wang Che watched quietly.
The little skeleton hugged its shattered head with its left hand and crushed an ice crystal with its right hand to quietly absorb it.
It seemed to be very familiar with it.
The ice crystal was quickly absorbed.
After cultivating for a week, the little skeleton’s physical strength had increased greatly. It could crush the ice crystal with a squeeze of its palm.
Moreover, after its head absorbed the ice crystal for the third time and recovered, its hardness was already very high.
It could not be smashed.
In the deep mine behind, under Wang Che’s guidance, the little skeleton simply picked up the head and threw the ice crystal.
It was quite interesting to cultivate all the way.
Now, the little skeleton crushed its head with one hand and the ice crystal with the other.
It was a two-pronged attack.
On the way, Wang Che watched and guided from time to time.
After absorbing the last section of the Ice Crystal Mine, the little skeleton installed its head.
Its body glowed even more brightly.
“The bones of the body will automatically advance…” Wang Che clearly felt that there seemed to be energy about to erupt in the little skeleton’s body.
It was an obvious sign of advancement.
Very good, he did not even need a cultivation technique.
Then what did he need a Contract Soul Master for?
Wang Che began to think.
Originally, an ordinary little skeleton with two external ‘divine artifacts’ needed to spend a lot of effort to cultivate.
He did not expect it to actually rely on destroying the bone body to advance simply and violently.
It could not tell how powerful the two cheats were, but its small body was a cheat itself.
“However, only the Black Jade Star has this condition… If it was a war zone, there would be no mineral vein for it to absorb.”
“This small mineral vein is worth 100 million. 100 million for one advancement…”
The conservative estimate was that it was in an undeveloped state. In reality, if it was produced and made into various soul devices, soul crystals, and so on, the value would increase by several times.
On the Black Jade Star, there were many such small mineral veins.
The data that the Firefly Dream Spirit focused on recording were all high-quality large-scale rare mineral veins.
“What a heartless resource consumption machine.”
“From the observation of this month, the shattering tempering ability of its body is very efficient and absorbs it very quickly. However, the use of the ice crystal is not high. During the absorption, a lot of energy still seeped out.”
“Moreover, the increase in strength is rather impressive, but it hasn’t reached the limit.”
“If the abilities of this body will increase as the body advances, it’s indeed fine without using cultivation techniques.”
“With just my physique, it should be easy to break through to a hundred thousand years.”
“As long as the resources can keep up…”
Wang Che estimated that the ability attached to this physique would not increase.
That would require the help of a cultivation technique.
The light became thicker and thicker until a certain moment, and it began to shrink and return to the little skeleton’s body.
A moment later, it turned into a pure ice-blue skeleton. The surface of the skeleton body seemed to be covered in a tempered membrane that reflected a unique light.
At first glance, it felt extremely firm.
It was incomparably firm.
“Ah!”
The little skeleton opened its mouth and let out a hoarse cry.
Wang Che walked over and patted the little skeleton’s head.
With his divine sense and his palm, Wang Che could clearly feel the strength of the little skeleton.
So hard!
It absorbed the entire mine to strengthen its body.
If the little skeleton took this step on other soul pets in the war zone, it should take at least a year or two.
“Not bad, I feel that its body won’t shatter so easily now.”
Wang Che nodded slightly. He sensed the life contract of the little skeleton and discovered that it was slightly connected.
Thinking about it, with the little skeleton’s previous life form, the life contract probably could not sense a soul beast life form like it.
Now that it had a certain strength, the life contract gradually showed its effect.
When the little skeleton’s body advanced just now, Wang Che had only felt some life force flowing back.
Name: Skeleton
Attribute: Ghost (Bone Transformation)
Species: Dead Soul Beast
Cultivation: 4,500 years
Current Soul Skill: Unknown
Soul Skill Sequence: Unknown
Species Soul Skill: Unknown
…
The information was very simple. He could only sense the little skeleton’s cultivation.
At the same time, the life contract listed it as a ghost-type soul pet, a bone ghost-type soul pet.
Actually, this was very interesting.
This was because the little skeleton’s true life symbol was the black life force soul light visible to the naked eye in its head.
That was indeed similar to the life force of a ghost-type soul pet.
As for other aspects, such as the bone body, it was not a vital characteristic.
It was like a special ghost-type soul pet.
“The life contract can’t sense its soul skill sequence… for such a situation to happen, it seems that it should be the first such soul pet.”
“There are skeleton soul pets, but its unique ability means that it should be the first. Otherwise, the life contract should have sensed its soul skill sequence.”
“Or maybe, it doesn’t even know what it can do?”
“The Firefly Dream Spirit can sense it very clearly because it knows itself very well. It knows what soul skills it knows, so the life contract can sense it.”
“If it doesn’t even know what it can do… then it really can’t sense the life contract…”
It had lost its memory.
As a skeleton, it was normal to have no memories.
However, the basic abilities of the body were still present.
“So, what do you know?”
Wang Che smiled.
The little skeleton turned to look at Wang Che.
This time, it did not make any cracking sounds. Its body seemed to have gained many lubricating parts, and its movements were no longer as jerky as before.
It would not jump and throw its head down.
“Forget it, let’s go out first.”
“Most of the energy in the ice crystal mine has been absorbed by your bones.”
“But your life force soul light hasn’t grown much. The soul power fluctuation isn’t high.”
Wang Che pointed up.
An ice crystal mine naturally couldn’t only increase a soul pet’s cultivation by so little.
Most of the energy was directly absorbed by its bones and strengthened. It did not transform it into cultivation.
Only a small portion of it transformed into cultivation.
Moreover, even now, it seemed to be unable to directly absorb the energy between heaven and earth to cultivate.
If it could only shatter its bones, cultivating passively by instinct was ultimately more harmful than beneficial.
Wang Che pointed at the mine.
The little skeleton seemed to understand something.
It slapped the empty mine wall.
Boom!
The powerful force caused the surroundings to tremble. Cracks quickly opened from where it struck.
“Its power has changed drastically.”
“A growing body… is like a bottomless pit…”
Wang Che took a look and his eyelids twitched.
This mine was hundreds of meters underground. This palm strike was not something a thousand-year soul beast could possess.
As expected, the bone body refined from absorbing most of the energy in a mineral vein was really extraordinary.
Following the crack, the little skeleton stomped and rushed out like a cannon.
It was as if it had been rehearsed many times.
“…”
Wang Che followed closely.
In a few breaths, they arrived at the surface.
The cold air of the Southern Frost Region was still present.
When the little skeleton kicked out, it landed very steadily on the ground.
“Well done. I didn’t expect its control over its body to be so good after just advancing.”
Wang Che thought to himself, ‘In this little skeleton’s previous life…’
The little skeleton suddenly looked at Wang Che in confusion.
As if it suddenly returned to its senses, it ran towards Wang Che.
However, as it ran, its body slipped uncontrollably, as if it was dancing on the ice.
Then, with a crack, it fell onto the ice.
“…”
Could it not be praised?
Could it have been driven by instinct just now?
Such a huge change in physical strength was usually impossible to adapt to easily.
The little skeleton’s pat, kick, and fall were indeed very graceful, but also very strange.
On the other hand, although it was a little funny, it was normal.
At this moment, a small figure appeared in the distance and flew towards Wang Che!
“Wu~”
The Firefly Dream Spirit flew over from afar.
It teleported here and immediately sensed Wang Che’s aura.
Wang Che smiled and waved his hand. The Firefly Dream Spirit flew around him before landing on his shoulder and yawning.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Wang Che sensed the log it sent and nodded.
“It’s still early. The third-generation soul beasts will only appear in a few years. There are only some signs now.”
“On the other hand, the cultivation of the Water Demon Beast and the others is at rocket speed. It’s normal. They were originally created by those two. Coupled with the aura of this world and the incomparable compatibility with the energy of this world, there’s no pressure to cultivate.”
“Don’t be discouraged. Without you, they won’t be able to find so many cultivation resources, right…”
Wang Che patted the little guy’s head.
As a soul pet, it cultivated slower than soul beasts. It was indeed ridiculous.
It could not be helped. The Water Demon Beasts were indeed too special.
As second-generation soul beasts of this world, when the origin energy erupted, not only did they have extremely high intelligence, but they also had resources and the cultivation technique Wang Che had given them.
Their cultivation could be said to have soared.
As a Transcendent soul pet, because it lacked materials, the Firefly Dream Spirit’s cultivation technique had never been completed. It was normal for its speed to be inferior to those fellows.
Moreover, it wasn’t a soul pet that specialized in cultivation speed.
“Oh right, this is your fifth brother.”
Wang Che pointed at the little skeleton that was carefully standing on the ice, not daring to move.
“Eh?” The Firefly Dream Spirit had already seen the little skeleton.
However, after hearing Wang Che’s words, it let out a puzzled cry.
It looked at the little skeleton in disbelief.
This, this, this was born from that Transcendent soul beast egg?
Its face was filled with two words: ‘That’s it?’
A little skeleton?
The Firefly Dream Spirit’s eyes began to glow as it stared at the little skeleton as if to see if there was anything special.
Mental Perception.
Yet…
“Wu?” The Firefly Dream Spirit rubbed its eyes.
This was a skeleton.
On the other hand, it sensed that the two pieces of equipment on its body contained extremely powerful strength!
The Firefly Dream Spirit spread its hands.
So what if it was a skeleton? It was a little brother after all.
The Firefly Dream Spirit flew over to the little skeleton.
The little skeleton seemed to be attracted by the Firefly Dream Spirit and moved its head.
When the Firefly Dream Spirit flew behind it, its head also spun 360 degrees and twisted to the back.
“Ahhh!”
The little skeleton roughly thought of something and began to chase after the Firefly Dream Spirit.
Speaking of which, the little skeleton had been with the Firefly Dream Spirit for a long time.
It was normal to be familiar with it.
The Firefly Dream Spirit flew away mischievously and landed on the little skeleton’s head. The little skeleton bounced and wanted to grab it, but it could not.
“Ssss…”
The Firefly Dream Spirit chuckled.
The little skeleton could not fly. As it ran, it fell onto the slippery ice.
But soon, it became familiar with running and did not slide onto the ice.
“It can master its body so quickly?”
Wang Che pondered, “No, not only did it control its body, but its bones also adapted to the environment!”
He realized something.
At this moment, subtle spikes appeared under the little skeleton’s feet. It could easily move in this environment.
“After advancing, this bone body can adapt to the environment extremely easily.”
Thinking of this, Wang Che suddenly said, “Little Firefly, use your Telekinesis and try to control it to fly. Do it for a longer time and let it experience flying.”
The Firefly Dream Spirit nodded.
Its body glowed slightly as majestic mental strength surged towards the little skeleton like a tide.
The fastest growth of the Firefly Dream Spirit was not cultivation, but mental strength.
Its mental strength grew faster than Wang Che’s divine sense.
Especially since the Black Jade Star did not lack resources, Wang Che could refine a pile of medicinal pills that could provide mental strength cultivation.
The Firefly Dream Spirit’s current cultivation was only more than 20,000 years, but its mental strength was comparable to the mental strength of a forty to fifty thousand-year soul beast.
This was only when it cultivated normally.
Boundless mental strength covered the little skeleton. Not to mention it, even a 20,000-year-old soul beast would be pressured and controlled by this ordinary Telekinesis.
The little skeleton was quickly controlled by Telekinesis, and its body could not control itself.
It gradually left the ice.
The Firefly Dream Spirit chuckled and flew around with the little skeleton, flying higher and higher.
Wang Che watched quietly as if waiting for something.
After about half an hour, the little skeleton began to move slightly.
Its body began to change slightly.
“It’s adapting…”
“It can even adapt to mental soul skills.”
After another half an hour, the little skeleton’s body began to move. Its body gradually fell from the sky.
The Firefly Dream Spirit flying in front turned around and was immediately stunned when it discovered that the little skeleton had disappeared.
It looked around and did not see anyone.
With a thud, as if something had fallen to the ground, it looked down…
Fifth Brother had already fallen to the ground.
The entire skeleton shattered into pieces.
“…” The Firefly Dream Spirit.
