These scale-like patterns resembled naturally formed demonic armor, tightly covering the entire staff and gleaming with a cold, hard metallic luster.
The most astonishing change occurred at the staff's head. As Soul Bone energy poured into the originally rounded tip, bone spread and took shape.
A lifelike shark's head, brimming with oppressive force, was forming at the end of the staff.
Its savage snout jutted forward, several sharp fangs exposed menacingly. Within the shark head's sunken eye sockets, two points of spectral blue light lit up like ghostly flames, as though a sleeping deep-sea predator had opened its eyes.
A viciousness, chill, and spiritual pressure originating from the primordial deep sea instantly spread from this newborn Martial Soul!
Chen Ping, who held the staff, felt it most keenly.
An entirely new sense of power, far stronger and purer than that of the former Star Nodule Club, surged along his arm and into every limb and bone!
This power not only carried destructive physical force capable of tearing everything apart, but also contained a stranger edge that touched the soul more directly!
"It worked!"
Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes. A gleam of spectral blue brilliance also flashed deep within his pupils, sharp as a blade, as though it could pierce the human heart.
The Martial Soul in his hand had completed its transformation-a deep, spectral-blue shaft covered in hard, scale-like patterns, its head a savagely roaring shark skull with every fang bared, ferocious beyond measure.
This was the Beast Staff evolved upon the foundation of a Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year Ferocious Beast's Soul Bone-Demon Shark!
Unable to wait, Chen Ping flicked his wrist and casually thrust the Demon Shark Staff toward a massive, stubborn rock beside him.
He used no Soul Skill; the shark fangs at the staff's head merely touched it lightly.
