While the Medicine King Sect was studying the skeleton and Exotic Beast, Huo Hai had not been idle either. Every day, he continuously bred Ghost Bone Insects for sale, and in his spare time, he cultivated and conducted his own research.
Not long after the Ghost Bone Insects completed their transformation, Huo Hai discovered that Little Cloud had transformed as well. It did not look much different from its previous transformation, yet Little Cloud's jade-white body suddenly began to turn transparent. "Could this be a sign that it will become an Invisible Spirit Insect like Silver Pearl?" Huo Hai found it rather strange.
Strange or not, Little Cloud's abilities had undeniably improved. Its mist could affect experts in the Spirit Emperor Realm, and it could control the mist and the Power of Heaven and Earth to attack and defend with far greater might than before.
However, Little Cloud's abilities were limited, and its offensive power was not particularly strong, so Huo Hai had gradually sidelined it. Since long ago, Little Cloud's main task had been assisting Huo Hai's cultivation, because his weapon could absorb vast amounts of spiritual energy.
But now, what Huo Hai chiefly needed was to condense his own Star Core, making Little Cloud's ability useless instead. Its only use was probably absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth over a wide area to help Huo Hai recover faster.
Yet even that ability was not especially useful. Huo Hai himself could now freely absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth within a two-hundred-meter radius. It seemed that Little Cloud was gradually becoming of little use as well. Unless he found a better method in the future, Little Cloud could only be sidelined. Seemingly sensing its master's thoughts, Little Cloud became somewhat dejected.
Little Cloud was very intelligent now.
