Super Evolution

Feeling the changes within himself, the Golden Light Eagle took a deep breath, slowly folded his wings, and turned toward Jiang Li. Then he lowered his head.

His forehead almost touched the ground.

This bow was sincere and wholehearted.

Jiang Li looked at the Golden Light Eagle, utterly transformed before him, and nodded with satisfaction.

With the Golden Light Eagle's extreme speed, Er Ming's overwhelming strength on the front lines and ability to cover their retreat, and Xiao Wu's wide-area control and assassination skills, they had everything they needed.

Though few in number, the three of them already made a sharp blade of a squad, one capable of striking fear into any faction.

Even Qian Daoliu, hailed as the strongest beneath the heavens, would find it difficult to catch up with the three of them when faced with the Golden Light Eagle's near-instantaneous speed, let alone pose any real threat to them.

As for everyone else...

Jiang Li's gaze fell on the three dark flight feathers at the tip of the Golden Light Eagle's tail. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

The Shadow Pin ability could already be considered a weaker version of the Polar Static Domain.

Combined with Er Ming's Thunderlight Fist, even if Golden Crocodile Douluo came back for more, he might not get the better of them.

As for any other ordinary Titled Douluo, they'd be nothing more than playthings for the three of them.

After finishing the Golden Light Eagle's enhancement, Jiang Li turned and looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was gazing up at him, her moonlit eyes full of eager anticipation.

Jiang Li smiled indulgently and patted her head. "Don't rush."

With Twin Martial Souls, the Laurel Domain, Moon Stealth, and Soul Power at Level 45, her combat strength was already worlds apart from what it had been an hour ago.

But Jiang Li felt it still wasn't enough.

After all, the Spirit Hall was the largest Soul Master organization on Douluo Continent, with unfathomable reserves of power.

In the Battle of Jialing Pass, the Spirit Hall had even been blessed by fate, with two gods appearing all at once.

That proved the Spirit Hall still had some deep roots on Douluo Continent.

Bibi Dong herself was a Twin Martial Souls wielder. Xiao Wu's current strength still wouldn't be enough to face her head-on.

Jiang Li flicked his wrist, and a jade pendant appeared in his palm.

The pendant was a warm, milky white all over. Its surface bore no carvings or patterns; only deep within the jade's heart lay a faint golden talisman, barely visible.

"Wear this Protective Jade Pendant close to your body."

Jiang Li placed it in Xiao Wu's palm. "I don't pay much attention to my own safety when I'm out acquiring treasures, so I don't have many protective items."

"This pendant isn't that powerful. It can only..."

"Dad." Knowing Jiang Li was worried about her, Xiao Wu cut him off with a sweet smile. "You don't have to worry so much about us. Even if the pendant can't withstand a Titled Douluo's attack, we can definitely get away unharmed."

"A Titled Douluo?" Jiang Li looked bemused. "Do we need a treasure to block a Titled Douluo's attack? Can't we just have Er Ming take it?"

"The pendant I gave you is for withstanding a god's attack."

Jiang Li had thought everything through. If the three of them drove the Spirit Hall to desperation, and either Qian Daoliu or Bibi Dong became a god in their hour of adversity, Xiao Wu and the others would still be able to return safely.

As for Titled Douluo... Were they even worthy of posing a mortal threat to Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu held the pendant in both hands, her fingers trembling slightly.

Withstand a god's attack?

What did a god's attack even mean?

On Douluo Continent, gods were legends, unreachable pinnacles.

In front of a god, a Titled Douluo was no more than an ant. Even a Level 99 Limit Douluo couldn't withstand a single finger from a god.

Yet this unremarkable little pendant could actually withstand a god's attack?

Before Xiao Wu could process that, Jiang Li turned his hand over and produced a radish.

It was only about the size of his palm, snowy white as jade, with a few emerald-green leaves at the top. It looked no different from the radishes sold at the market.

The only difference was a faint, milky-white glow that swirled around its surface, while a refreshing fragrance drifted from it.

"This is a Snow Jade Radish."

Jiang Li held it out to Xiao Wu and explained.

"No matter how badly you're injured or how much Soul Power you've used up, just one bite will restore your injuries and Soul Power to their peak in an instant."

Xiao Wu accepted the radish and carefully put it away.

A pendant that could withstand a god's attack, and a radish that restored you to full strength in one bite...

What kind of monster was her father to have amassed so many heaven-defying treasures?

But Jiang Li's gifts weren't over yet.

He turned his hand over again, and a fist-sized stone appeared in his palm.

The stone shimmered with dazzling rainbow colors, a prismatic glow flowing across its surface. Deep inside, some ancient and powerful force seemed to stir.

The Super Evolution Stone came from a world with an extraordinarily advanced Beast Tamer civilization.

In that world, spirit beasts had no need to worry about coming into conflict with humans; they had become a complete part of human life.

Even that world's "Abyss" had been taken over by a spirit beast named Giratina.

And in that world, spirit beasts on the same level as the Dragon God of Douluo Continent were countless...

"This is a Super Evolution Stone."

Jiang Li's voice finally took on a note of seriousness.

"In my Beast Tamer system, most spirit beasts can evolve. This stone lets a Beast Tamer work with a spirit beast to help it undergo a kind of evolution called 'Super Evolution.'"

He paused and looked at Xiao Wu.

"After you transformed into a human, you lost the ability to evolve on your own as a Soul Beast. But that makes you the perfect Beast Tamer."

Jiang Li's gaze fell on Er Ming, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"You and Er Ming have known each other for tens of thousands of years, so your bond is incredibly strong. With your current mental and Soul Power, using the Super Evolution Stone to help Er Ming achieve Super Evolution will be very simple."

Er Ming's mouth twitched. Damn, he really had become Xiao Wu's pet...

But then he thought about it. What was wrong with being a pet?

At least he could get stronger!

As things stood, he'd already surpassed those freaks hiding in Star Dou Forest, hadn't he?

As that thought crossed his mind, Er Ming's breathing suddenly grew heavy.

He'd just been envying the Golden Light Eagle for receiving the Kunpeng Method enhancement. He hadn't expected his own opportunity to be waiting right behind it.

Super Evolution.

It sounded incredible!

With the Demon Emperor Bone and Thunderlight Fist, he could already face Level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on.

If he completed a Super Evolution that even Jiang Li held in such high regard...

Er Ming didn't dare think any further. He was afraid he'd start grinning like an idiot and wouldn't be able to stop.

The Protective Jade Pendant, the Snow Jade Radish, the Super Evolution Stone, plus Twin Martial Souls and the Laurel Domain...

With this many cheats activated all at once, Er Ming couldn't imagine how the Spirit Hall was supposed to fight back!

Once they were ready, Jiang Li had the three of them familiarize themselves with their abilities. Then he swept his hand through the air.

"Now, you can set off!"
