Merging into the Blood Sea System, Prioritizing Mental Evolution Path, Evolving the Blue-Veined Starfish

Upon sensing his evolution into a thousand-year-level starfish, Lin Tian clearly felt the bloodline deposits within his body suddenly spring to life.

A gentle, warm energy flowed throughout his entire body, eventually converging toward the center of his brow and transforming into four points of light that hovered within his consciousness.

As it turned out, his cultivation had broken through to the thousand-year level, making evolution possible.

Because the starfish he had possessed was his own Martial Soul, and it was inherently of the same origin as his Blood Sea Martial Soul, he was assimilated by the rules of the Blood Sea and inherited the attribute system of the Blood Sea Cell Monster.

Now that he was evolving his bloodline, he needed to select one talent to upgrade.

At this moment, the four clusters of light in his consciousness corresponded to four distinct attributes: the life attribute of the Red Blood Cell Monster, the defense attribute of the White Blood Cell Monster, the attack attribute of the purple Lymphocyte, and the spirit attribute of the Platelet Monster.

Only then did he realize that Platelet Monsters possessed not only strong healing abilities but also spirit attributes.

Lin Tian's consciousness submerged into his sea of consciousness, pondering the four points of light for a while before he reached a conclusion.

Since he intended to go to the Spirit Pagoda next, choosing spirit power was the optimal solution.

Moreover, in the era of Legend of the Dragon King, spirit power was the hard currency.

Whether it was absorbing spirit souls, increasing the age of spirit souls, or manufacturing Battle Armor and operating mechas in the future, spirit power was essential.

Life, defense, and attack were useful, but they were not as practical as spirit power.

He would choose spirit.

Lin Tian hesitated no longer and locked onto the blue cluster of light.

The moment he made his choice, the other points of light dissipated.

Immediately following, all the energy accumulated in his bloodline surged toward the blue light.

The blue light instantly transformed into a blue radiance, rushing into his starfish body.

The moment it surged in, Lin Tian felt a wave of coolness wash over him, and the stiffness he had felt from his body growing larger vanished entirely.

His soul and body were in perfect harmony.

At this moment, a circle of faint blue patterns began to appear on the surface of his starfish body, resembling blood vessels.

They appeared on every tentacle and eventually converged in the center, forming a pentagonal, crystal-clear blue crystal.

The crystal flickered, as if breathing, releasing a blue glow at any moment.

Lin Tian could perceive that his entire reserve of spirit power was now stored within this blue Spirit Gem on his chest.

He had successfully completed his evolution, transforming into a spirit-attributed Spirit Starfish.

A Blue-Veined Starfish!

His Martial Soul was now completely different from the trash-tier soul he had possessed before.

It not only possessed the evil ability to devour but also wielded a spirit attribute.

His cultivation had now stabilized at the thousand-year level, and his spirit power had surged dramatically.

The previously blurred perceptions were now incredibly clear.

He could see the flow of blood in the Blood Sea and the plankton—the microorganisms—floating within it with perfect clarity.

Because his five eyes had also been strengthened, he no longer saw double images.

Feeling the surging spirit power within his body, Lin Tian was overjoyed.

He was no longer limited to mere visual perception; he began to attempt to manipulate the Spirit Gem on his chest.

Under his spirit perception, the crystal on his chest lit up, resonating with him.

Immediately, an invisible wave of spirit power spread out like a tide, instantly covering the surrounding hundreds of meters of sea.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, he could clearly see every existence; this was the benefit brought by spirit power.

He was different from those Blood Sea Monsters that lacked cultivation.

Just like those Platelet Monsters; because they lacked cultivation, they could only possess the most basic healing abilities, unable to even release spirit power, and possessed no extraordinary energy.

But he was now a thousand-year-level spirit beast capable of wielding extraordinary power, allowing him to choose a spirit attribute in advance.

Lin Tian was certain that when these Blood Sea Monsters, such as the Platelet Monster, upgraded their cultivation to the thousand-year level, they would possess the same abilities as him.

This ability was simply too satisfying.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, the flow of blood, everything suspended in it, and even low-level Blood Worms hiding in crevices could not escape his perception.

It was exhilarating; this spirit attribute was practically tailor-made for reconnaissance.

Huo Yuhao's omnidirectional spirit detection was a million-year-level spirit skill, yet he had obtained it directly.

Lin Tian excitedly shook his tentacles.

The thousand-year-level starfish body was not particularly strong, but with its terrifying healing ability and now, spirit detection far exceeding his peers, it was enough for him to avoid most dangers in advance.

In other words, as long as he didn't act recklessly, he could basically walk sideways through this Blood Sea.

At this moment, Lin Tian began to ponder.

He had completely absorbed the two spirit bones, and now, aside from a corpse, the Blood Shadow Douluo had nothing left to offer him.

No, that wasn't right. Lin Tian subconsciously looked up and discovered that the Blood Shadow Douluo's corpse had long since rotted away, leaving only a pile of withered bones.

He had truly picked Blood Shadow Douluo clean; what a sin, what a sin.

With the spirit bone absorbed and the energy within the corpses in this area nearly drained, further consumption would yield no significant gains.

If he wanted to level up and evolve rapidly, he had to seek out living prey, especially Platelet blood monsters, to consume their mental attributes and evolve into a more powerful starfish.

He was currently a nascent Blue-Veined Starfish with mental attributes, and he eagerly anticipated evolving into a stronger form, so he had to take the initiative to hunt.

This was already the most perfect start; he didn't have to begin as a lowly, ordinary spirit beast, starting instead with a thousand-year foundation.

Moreover, possessing powerful mental attributes and the power of immortality, as long as he developed cautiously and didn't act recklessly, he would soon be able to rule the entire Blood Sea.

With that, Lin Tian immediately exited the field of corpses, preparing to swim toward the upper reaches.

At this moment, Lin Tian was in high spirits, his body swaying slightly.

But just then, at the very instant he prepared to leave, a dense ripple of energy surged from the distance.

Lin Tian's heart tightened, and he immediately unleashed his mental power to its full extent.

The next second, his face turned deathly pale; the surprise that had just been there vanished, leaving only utter despair.

A few hundred meters away, a dense mass of black shadows was surging toward him like a moving black tide.

Lin Tian swept his mental power across them, finding tens of thousands of them, all various types of cell monsters.

Logically speaking, normal swarms of blood cell monsters usually gathered in the hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.

A swarm of Blood Sea Monster like this, consisting of only ten thousand individuals, was quite rare.

The only possibility was that they had been defeated in battle, but even this number was enough to make his scalp tingle.

How could there be so many?

My luck couldn't possibly be this bad, could it, Heavens?
