On the road from the West Suburb Pier in Jiaying City to Shen Mountain Middle School, an overwhelming army of sunflowers emerged.
The Sunflower King was being surrounded by numerous sunflowers, walking towards Shen Mountain Middle School.
Major media outlets reported the great migration of sunflowers, highlighting the huge contribution they made during a beast tide.
They participated in the slaughter of Blood Storm Rats and cleared away the flesh and blood of the rats, preventing Jiaying River, the mother river of Jiaying City, from turning into a river of blood.
They also prevented the outbreak of a plague, making them admirable heroes.
The media also reported that the president of the Pet Beast Union, Wang Jinyin, turned the tide during the crisis, and Shen Mountain Middle School sent excellent teachers to obstruct this beast tide.
In the reports, they all were praised as valorous heroes.
However, no one noticed that many sunflowers secretly slipped away before entering Shen Mountain Middle School, heading to the nearby Fang Yuan Cultivation House.
They spit out the blood cores they collected from their sturdy disks and found a spot in Fang Yuan Cultivation House, rooting down and transforming into harmless sunflowers swaying in the wind.
The original form of the sunflower is the sunflower itself, so their disks have spaces of various sizes to store sunflower seeds, which is their most unique trait. Yet these spaces are generally small, and with low research value in sunflowers, researchers have not studied them deeply.
But these spaces were just right for sunflowers to collect blood cores.
Soon, Ye Bai’s cultivation house had piled up a mountain of blood cores.
These blood cores varied in size; some were as large as fists, while others were as small as ping-pong balls.
They were all blood red, emitting a faint fragrance without any bloody smell.
Amidst them were crystal clear spiritual crystal cores like diamonds.
Seeing these crystal cores, Ye Bai felt a subtle delight.
These were the spiritual crystal cores of the mutated Blood Storm Rat King.
The Blood Storm Rat’s blood core possessed extremely chaotic energy, yet the Thousand-Change Silkworm could devour these blood cores to enhance its strength.
Ye Bai wondered if the Hundred-Change Silkworm could also devour these blood cores to develop a new form.
As for the chaotic energy in the blood core, Ye Bai had a solution.
Just like how the antidote is found within a hundred steps of being bitten by a venomous snake, the spiritual crystal core of the mutated Blood Storm Rat King is the antidote.
But this proportion must be handled correctly, otherwise, the Hundred-Change Silkworm might abruptly evolve into the Gray Poison Moth, leaving one with tears of regret.
Zhang Lingxue followed the sunflowers back to the school’s Secret Realm, where she was responsible for repositioning these sunflowers.
The Sunflower King then climbed onto the head of the Gray Poison Moth, turning into an ornament for the moth. At its command, all present sunflowers extended their roots into the ground.
They transformed into a sea of sunflowers, with their rich fragrance spreading throughout the Secret Realm.
After everything settled, the Sunflower King briskly walked away.
It swayed leisurely back to Fang Yuan Cultivation House, where upon seeing Ye Bai, its disk suddenly enlarged.
The Sunflower King, originally the size of a millstone, grew even bigger after absorbing a large amount of essence of flesh and blood.
Dense flower fragrance wafted out, and two golden, translucent drops of dew emerged from its leaves like exquisite golden pearls. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Ye Bai’s eyes showed a strong craving as if encountering something indispensable.
The dew floated in the air as Ye Bai’s Eye of Insight opened, transforming the dew into golden mist absorbed into his eyes.
Ye Bai felt a cool, comfortable sensation flowing into his eyes, even the life essence in his blood partially transformed into blood mist, becoming nutrients for the evolution of the Eye of Insight.
The life energy drawn from the life seed was altogether invested, facilitating the evolution of the Eye of Insight.
His chest felt a chill, as he could sense his heart beating like a drum, with a speed that made Ye Bai feel not quite human.
After the mutation of the Eye of Insight ended, Ye Bai found his eyes reverted to a dark color, like dark night-glazed black, with faint patterns inside, yet indistinct.
Looking around, he could see even the floating dust in the air clearly.
The mist on the Sunflower King began to gradually disperse.
Detailed data appeared in Ye Bai’s eyes.
[Name: Sunflower King (Leader’s Aura)]
[Trait: Light of the Sun: Bathed in sunlight, Wood Skills can be amplified by 1.5 times.]
[Skills: Thorny Whip (Skilled): Uses iron-hard roots to attack enemies, binding them tightly or piercing through their bodies.
Light of the Sun (Skilled): Releases strong light like daylight using collected sunlight during the day, generating a blinding effect.
Self-Healing (Beginner): Damage received can quickly recover under sunlight; can be paired with the Light of the Sun skill.
Storage Space (Innate skill of Sunflower Race): Generates spaces the size of fists within petals; as the Sunflower King’s level increases, the spaces produced grow larger.
Clone (Skilled): Quickly creates a clone one tier lower than itself; under substantial essence of flesh and blood, can endlessly generate clones, becoming independent entities.]
[Evolutionary Path: Sunflower Emperor: Tier Four Sun Crystal, becoming the leader of sunflowers (fulfilled), Tier Four Exotic Beast essence of flesh and blood (fulfilled), find a place to bask in sunlight at noon during the summer solstice (12:00-14:00).]
With the evolution of the Eye of Insight, the detailed information and evolutionary path of Tier Three pet beasts were now visible.
When Ye Bai’s gaze fell on Big Gray, the gray mist on its body stubbornly resisted, like an aggressive homeowner.
"It seems I still can’t see above Tier Four, but I can identify treasures below Tier Four; that’s good news."
"Thank you, Sunflower King."
A blush appeared on the Sunflower King’s face, looking quite happy.
Who would have thought that such an unremarkable little Karami could make a spectacular show and become the hero saving Jiaying City?
The Sunflower King emptied all the crystal cores it collected from its disk.
Its space was not small; the cores poured out were equal to the sum poured out by the sunflowers.
Among them, Ye Bai found a pulsing heart, but only the size of a football, seemingly underdeveloped.
It should be a Blood Storm Rat King that advanced after the Blood Storm Rat Emperor died, yet for some reason, it was eradicated by the Sunflower King, fulfilling the Tier Four Exotic Beast essence of flesh and blood condition in the Sunflower King’s evolutionary path.
