Following their master on this hunting trip, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks benefited trendously. Their bodies had reached their limit and it was ti for the next step: breaking through their current realm.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, and the stench was unbearable. Lu Yao, along with the two sisters, picked up their three Spirit Sparrowhawks and headed to a nearby mountain.
Liao Ya, holding Ping An, felt that it weighed only about 60 kilograms and couldn't help but express her surprise, "It's so big and yet so light~"
Lu Yao explained with a smile, "Birds, in order to facilitate flight, evolved what is called 'pneumatic bones'—bones that are hollow and filled with air. This not only reduces the weight of the body but also enhances its strength, making it suitable for flying."
Upon hearing this, Liao Ya said admiringly, "Junior brother, you sure know a lot~"
"Ha~ I guess I do."
They chatted and laughed as they reached the mountain top, found a sheltered and quiet place, and carefully set down the Spiritual Sparrowhawks.
And so, the family temporarily settled there to watch over the Spiritual Sparrowhawks as they took the next step in their transformation.
During this ti, they even dragged the bodies of Agubai and his son over.
The Spiritual Sparrowhawks needed a large amount of energy to break through to the next realm, and the flesh and blood of two high-ranking werewolves were perfect for this purpose.
In fact, the corpse of the White-eyed Tiger could have been used as well, but Lu Yao didn't want his Spirit Pets to consu humans, no matter how utterly wicked they were.
Fortunately, the flesh of the two Demon Beasts was more than sufficient. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Over the next half-month, the felonious werewolf father and son were gradually turned into sparrowhawk droppings.
It can truly be said that they gave everything they had to Lu Yao.
~~~~~~~~~~
For half a month, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks ate and slept, adopting the posture of nesting birds day after day,
Lu Yao and the two sisters watched over them with utmost caution, preventing any disturbances.
He sent them Innate True Qi every day and used Inner Vision to check on them from ti to ti, doing everything possible to help his precious babies.
The sisters took turns patrolling with tree branches, not even allowing insects to co close to them.
All three were very nervous, taking turns to rest and to watch over them day and night, desperately hoping nothing would go wrong with any of the babies.
But the Spiritual Sparrowhawks had already developed a very strong foundation thanks to Lu Yao's tireless and ticulous care.
Moreover, the advantages they had gained this ti were too substantial—entire werewolf armies turned into their nourishnt from top to bottom!
This was a qualitative change, enough to stack their ranks purely by the sheer amount of resources consud.
The key point was—none of the Spiritual Sparrowhawks were diocrities; each had its own extraordinary talents.
Ji Xiang was cunning, but also the smartest among them. Ru Yi was like a lovable simpleton, yet possessed an extrely resolute spirit, never admitting defeat.
Ping An's decisiveness and bravery marked it as the most natural leader of the three.
Lu Yao gently stroked their backs, whispering softly, "You guys will be fine."
~~~~~~~~~
Thus, without any mishaps, the 16th day arrived. The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks woke up one after the other and gently touched their owners with their necks.
Lu Yao quickly probed them with the power of his Mind Force.
He saw that the Spiritual Sparrowhawks' vital energy was terrifyingly thick, about ten tis that of a martial artist of the sa realm. As they chirped and stimulated their vital energy, the air around their bodies started to blur slightly.
Having spent half a month, they had finally advanced to the Blood-Exchange Realm!
The three of them were overjoyed. Lu Yao kept exclaiming, "Spirit Pets do not have Inner Breath, yet their physical bodies are truly formidable."
At that mont, he recalled the giant mastiff that had taken three minutes of cannon fire before it died.
The Spiritual Sparrowhawks would also undergo a transformation!
Just then, the two sisters cried out in alarm!
What happened was that the feathers on the Spiritual Sparrowhawks were falling off in large patches, turning them into pitifully bald and ugly birds.
```
And their talons and sharp beaks showed signs of shedding.
But this was the mark of a successful breakthrough! Just as humans shed baby teeth, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks would shed their old feathers, claws, and beaks after breaking through.
They were also hungry, their bellies rumbling as they cried out to their master, signaling their imnse hunger.
Lu Yao took out the giant Ao Dog's body from the Space-Ti Bubble, perfectly preserved; the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks imdiately pounced on it to feast.
At this mont, there was no better food than the flesh of their "kin" to help them stabilize their new realm.
Lu Yao even generously offered the high-quality "Blood Cores" he had previously cherished to feed them.
Spirit Pets had robust bodies and strong blood vitality, growing incredibly quickly as long as they weren't deprived of external resources!
~~~~~~~~~
Just like humans, the breakthrough and stabilization of realms for the Spiritual Sparrowhawks didn't happen overnight.
Half a month later... under the care of many fine delicacies, the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks completely stabilized their realm and grew much larger.
Now they were three ters in body length, with a wingspan of over six ters, their sharp teeth, beaks, and feathers glinting with a glaze-like luster, looking quite splendid.
Especially the "Flying Feathers" on their wings, used for beating the air and protecting their bodies, which now shimred with a cold tallic edge.
Liao Ya and Liao Qe, out of curiosity, touched them only to find the feathers extrely tough and sharp.
Bear in mind, the two sisters were now immune to small caliber bullets, but their skin was easily sliced open by these feathers, evidence of their sharpness and hardness.
At this ti, the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks lowered their bodies willingly, chirping continuously at their masters, clearly indicating—they wanted them to ride.
Lu Yao and his two companions imdiately mounted their backs.
The Spiritual Sparrowhawks flapped their wings, creating a wild gust that swept the mountaintop with flying sand and stones, causing many slender plants to bend over and collapse.
The next instant, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks soared into the sky with their masters!
They reached an altitude of ten thousand ters in just 3 minutes. A few flaps of their wings, and they were flying at a speed of 600 kiloters per hour!
At that mont, the strong airflow struck the faces of Lu Yao and his two companions, and all they could hear was the whooshing of the wind.
This level of gravity and wind was nothing to them, and all three had practiced the "Eave Dragon Stake" so they could firmly adhere to the backs of the Spiritual Sparrowhawks.
What followed was an ultimate flying experience given by the Spiritual Sparrowhawks to their masters.
The birds perford various difficult maneuvers in the sky, sotis tumbling, sotis spinning rapidly, and finally they even broke through clouds in a steep dive!
The wings of the Spiritual Sparrowhawks folded together to form sothing like an arrowhead, reaching an astonishing speed of 1000 kiloters per hour, plumting straight towards the ground!
The intense airflow hamring against them, the scenery around them flashing by like lightning, adrenaline involuntarily pumping, an extre sense of pleasure stimulating their brains.
The three couldn't help but shout out loud—"Ahhh~~~~"
Just as they were about to slam into the ground, the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks suddenly spread their wide wings, greatly reducing their speed.
Their rapid descent transford into a gentle float, smoothly gliding. From stillness to motion, they were as smooth as silk, truly masters of airflow control.
Lu Yao smiled at his precious pets, "Impressive! Now, let's head ho."
The Spiritual Sparrowhawks chirped in unison and took flight with their masters towards Dihua City.
At this mont, it was sunset, and the Western Frontier's sun was stunningly beautiful, a golden orb slowly sinking, turning the entire horizon into a shade of orange.
Lu Yao, seated on the back of his pets, admired the beautiful scene, feeling that all his efforts were worthwhile!
~~~~~~~~~
In Dihua City, three giants birds with wingspans over six ters glided across the sky. The various livestock on the ground were paralyzed by an ancestral fear encoded in their genes, falling to the ground, so even losing control of their bladder and bowels.
Countless people pointed and discussed the sight above them. If it weren't for the fact that there were people seated atop these creatures, they would have been panicked and screaming in fright.
Those with cultivation in their bodies realized imdiately—Blood-Exchange Realm Spirit Birds! And three of them! These were indeed the trump cards of Grandmaster Lu!
