Back in the underground cave, no significant changes were detected. However, everyone inside was busy; so were making tools, and others were repairing weapons, cleaning, and processing supplies. The division of work was very thorough and orderly. Du Tao was undoubtedly a rare talent when it ca to administration. In the days following their departure, he not only prevented others from panicking but also rallied and organized the people, from hunting and gathering to fair distribution of food to creating makeshift tools and weapons he organized everything and left no logistical task unintended.
Even if Xiao Yu returned a week later, not much would have changed as long as no unforeseen event befell the group or the cave. The situation could improve steadily rather than deteriorate.
Du Tao found that the number of people that returned was less than a dozen, and it was evident that the others would never return. He felt a little sad, but what was encouraging was that each one of these individuals who returned had undergone earth-shattering transformations. The strength of the weakest among them was not much different from Jiang Xiaowens when she first left with others. While Han Kexin and the others three, being the strongest bunch of the group, all advanced to the elentary level. The team beca much more solid with this lineup.
Du Tao double-checked Huang Jianmins new groups information. To his amazent, this collection of individuals included police officers, nurses, doctors, laborers, and chefs, just enough to fill the teams vacancies.
In order to celebrate the return of everyone and welco all new mbers that joined them, Du Tao decided to take out the stored at and fresh wild vegetables. With the iron and clay pots they found in the goblin village, they could finally get rid of the burden of eating roasted at every day. After all, it was mostly undercooked, stale, charred, and black, and it caused many to lose their appetites at first sight. This night, though, was different, as people gathered around the bonfire and enjoyed a tasty, fragrant stew. Huang Jianmin and the others were still a bit apprehensive at first, for fear that they had escaped the wolfs den just to enter the tigers mouth, but after the night had passed, their dangling hearts felt at ease, and they fell in love with this place, willing to stay in the team permanently.
After everyone had settled down, they spent the next two days recuperating and regaining their energy, resting in the underground cave all day long except when they had to go out hunting and gathering wild food. Xiao Yus injuries were entirely healed thanks to Han Kexins help, and his body had adjusted to its best condition after a full day of rest. He now felt that it was the best mont to fuse with that crystal of inheritance.
Xiao Yu changed into light, clean clothing, went to a sowhat secluded cavern and asked Jiang Xiaowen to guard the caves entrance.
Jiang Xiaowen was happy to help and asked, How long will it take you to gain the skill?
It takes a few hours to fuse, and I may go into a deep slumber to do so. I really dont know for sure, but since this is not a high-level inheritance, it wont take long. Xiao Yu paused and reminded: Rember that interrupting soone during that process is completely forbidden; if disturbed, there will be serious consequences ranging from wasting all prior efforts to seriously hurting or even crippling the individual.
Jiang Xiaowens face turned pale, its that serious?
Xiao Yu nodded and said: Well, now my well-being is completely in your hands.
Jiang Xiaowen felt like a big responsibility was dropped on her shoulders, but at the sa ti, she also felt appreciated, Thank you for trusting , dont worry and just leave it to . I will never let anyone disturb you!
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, turned around, and walked in; then he sat cross-legged in the center of the cave, holding the prism-shaped inheritance crystal in the palm of his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and concentrated his spirit bit by bit. Then, as if it had co to life, the sparkling crystal that he was holding in the palm of his hand started to emanate light and heat while slowly increasing in temperature.
Almost at the sa ti, Xiao Yu felt as if a steel needle was piercing into his brain, and the intense tingling pain made him dizzy, and he almost lost consciousness. This was the spiritual power left by the fla goblin. This power would repel peoples spiritual power and cause great pain in their souls. This was the pain that must be endured in the process of absorbing any crystal of inheritance, and sotis it can even be dangerous and cause severe ntal trauma.
Fortunately, the power contained in the inheritance crystal was not very strong, while Xiao Yus spirit was far more tenacious than most people, so once the montary dizziness passed, he instantly returned to normal. Still, that spiritual force was like a sharp needle embedded in his mind, and Xiao Yu braved the anguish and continued to sink his consciousness into the radiant crystal in his palm.
The inheritance crystal was lting into the palm of his hand, and at the sa ti, the light in it beca brighter. Xiao Yu was not in a rush and took it in slowly. Despite this, a violent force, as well as a vast quantity of knowledge and information, were constantly integrating into his body system, though a large portion of that dissipated before it could be absorbed in ti.
When Xiao Yus spirit was imrsed in the inheritance crystal, a burning red fla erged in his consciousness, and the fla gradually diminished during the fusing process, leaving behind a light translucent red glow in his core.
The fla was the fire origins power of the fla goblin. After absorbing it, it instantly increased his fire elental power. While the red glow left behind in his body was the inheritance seed, which contained all the information about the fla missile ability, and was the key to mastering this skill thoroughly.
People who co into touch with inheritance crystals for the first ti sotis overlook the significance of inheritance seeds and instead absorb only the origins power, which can have imdiate benefits. But this is a very unwise choice. Although the origins power of the crystal may imdiately get you the skill without much difficulty, the skill itself will then lack the ability to continue to develop and increase in strength without the seeds help.
Following Xiao Yus thod, the power acquired in the end will be reduced, but in the long run, inheritance seeds will generate more origins power and can even continue to grow the skill towards its limit. As such, the benefits obtained will be far greater than that of the forr thod.
Ignoring the dissipating energy of the fire elent, Xiao Yu did not hesitate to infiltrate his spiritual power into the emitted light red spots, pulling them out bit by bit and lting them into his spiritual consciousness. He just felt an incomparably pure power seeping in from his palm and eventually lingering in the black sea of his consciousness, transforming into a speck of bright light, then floating there like a star in the night sky.
At this ti, one-third of the energy of fire had dissipated. Xiao Yu seized the opportunity to absorb the remaining little bit into his seed, then the warm power again flowed into his body along the palm of his hand, finally enveloping the inheritance seed in his core before transforming into a dancing fla once more.
Ti passed, and the inheritance seed had been completely assimilated in his body, while only about one-third of the origins fla power had been absorbed. His overall fusion rate was about 58%. It would be considered extrely effective if the fusion rate exceeds the 50% mark. Most people couldnt achieve that, while very few people have heard of anyone who could reach an 80% absorption rate. It was an unrealistic number that only a handful of people could possibly achieve.
The crystal in Xiao Yus hand beca dim and gradually fractured all over before it shattered with a clear sound. After the process was finished, He felt stuffed in his own body, and there was a strong warm current flowing from within him like he was a balloon that was pumped with gas.
He imdiately realized the problem; his body had not fully absorbed all the energy.
Xiao Yu controlled his body to digest the new energy little by little, which required both patience and conviction. It took around two hours of ti for the warm current to gradually subside and be totally absorbed into his system. However, just as the last trace of power was being digested and his body was about to calm down, sothing unexpected happened.
Another shocking power erupted in an instant, exploding like a volcano!
Xiao Yu was shocked since this sensation was quite familiar to him, and the phenonon that occurred later confird his conjecture even more. Streaks of golden threads stretched out from his body organs, intertwined and wrapped around him, finally forming a big golden cocoon.
Jiang Xiaowen was standing outside with her fine-looking green spear in her hand, her expression remained serious, but as a powerful golden light flashed from the cavern, she grew startled. Then, worrying that Xiao Yu might be in danger, she hurriedly walked inside to have a look.
A look of ecstasy instantly appeared on her face, and she imdiately covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming: Great, Xiao Yu is finally evolving into the first order!
She stood there watching him when a break erged in the golden cocoon about five minutes later, and a tongue of fire blasted out of it. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaowen reacted quickly and dodged to the side; otherwise, the flas would have scorched her black.
The golden cocoon entirely broke open as Xiao Yus figure erged. The clothing on his body were burnt to ashes underneath the scorching fla energy, revealing him to be totally naked! Xiao Yu changed significantly after advancing into the first order. He grew taller and stronger than ever before. He didnt have nearly as many muscles as Jinshi, but they were well-proportioned and dense, just like a leopard. You could tell his body was full of explosive power.
Fortunately for Jiang Xiaowen, who saw everything, Xiao Yu still had his eyes closed while his whole body was glowing reddish; he had already fallen into a deep slumber at this mont. She breathed a sigh of relief while her heart was still agitated, then she ran out of the cavern blushing.
Not long after, Han Kexin and Jinshi both ca back from hunting.
The forr imdiately went to find Jiang Xiaowen; then she approached the cavern with a smile on her face: Todays harvest is excellent. Aside from a pile of wild fruits, we also killed a deer and a couple of sizable hares. Those rabbits are enormous. Each one actually weighs around fifteen to sixteen pounds.
Hush! Jiang Xiaowen hurriedly made a silence gesture with her fingers, pointed inside the small cavern, and whispered: Xiao Yu is still absorbing the inheritance crystal; he now requires quiet. Lets not disturb him.
Oh, so thats how it is. Han Kexin brought over dozens of at skewers as well as a charred roasted rabbit leg that was wrapped in a large green leaf, then talked in a quieter voice, I roasted this with my own hands. I just added salt, then Du Tao found a type of wild pepper in the forest, collected it, and dried it to make wild pepper powder, which we added to the at. In addition, it was sared with animal oil for roasting, and the flavor is much more aromatic. she said all of that, then handed her a bottle of juice and continued: There isnt much left of the beverages we brought back. I saved a bottle just for you. Here, its your favorite orange juice.
Thank you. Jiang Xiaowen scooped up the roasted rabbit legs. They were all dripping with hot oil and steaming, then she plucked a small piece of rabbit at, chewed a few bites gently, and murmured, Teacher Hans cooking is tasty and slls amazing.
Of course, I put a lot of effort into roasting this. Han Kexin took out a at skewer and then sat down next to Jiang Xiaowen, We rarely have this much free ti. Should we chat?
Okay! Jiang Xiaowen was happy as she ate: What matter does teacher Han want to talk about?
Xiao Yu. Han Kexin softly pushed back a few strands of her smooth whitish-pink long hair. This unintentional act of hers was full of infinite temptation and appeal, leaving even the innocent Jiang Xiaowen dumbfounded, He used to be unremarkable in class, so I always wonder what kind of man he used to be. I heard that he pursued you for a long ti. Is this actually true? Can you tell about it?
