In a blur, Lu Qing heard a childish voice ringing in his mind.
He thought he was dreaming, but in the next moment, he felt something was off and suddenly woke up.
"Ah, Ah Qing, you're awake..."
This time, the childish voice persisted, and Lu Qing knew that he wasn't dreaming, nor was it an illusion; someone was indeed calling out to him.
However, this voice was one he had never heard before.
He sat up, turned his head to search for the source of the voice, and finally his gaze rested on a small figure.
Then, his mouth slightly agape, he whispered, "Little, Little Li?"
"It's me, it's me!" Little Li joyfully hopped onto his shoulder, "Ah Qing, I think I can talk now!"
Lu Qing nodded, but his expression remained somewhat wooden.
This situation was so abrupt, even for him, that he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
However, after all, he was no ordinary person and quickly came to his senses.
"Little Li, did you learn to talk because you consumed the Moon Essence? No, this isn't speaking, it's Divine Soul communication!"
Lu Qing finally noticed the clues.
Although Little Li's voice resonated in his mind, its mouth hadn't moved.
Little Li tilted its head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure, just that after drinking the Moon Essence last night, when I woke up, I felt like I could talk, but when I called out to Little Yan, she seemed unable to hear me."
Lu Qing was now certain that Little Li was indeed using Divine Soul communication, not actual speaking.
Divine Soul communication, unless one had extremely profound cultivation, would be heard only by Martial Arts Experts who had similarly tempered their Divine Soul Power.
"Come, let me take a look at you."
Thinking for a moment, Lu Qing brought Little Li in front of him.
Little Li didn't struggle; it too wanted to know what exactly was happening.
Lu Qing activated his Superpower and looked at Little Li.
Very soon, a faint purple energy emerged from Little Li's body.
Lu Qing was slightly startled and urgently scanned the information appearing before him.
[Mutated Night Spirit Fox: Mutated Innate Level spiritual beast, juvenile, female.]
[Extremely fast, razor-sharp claws capable of crushing stone and shredding anything.]
[Having refined the Beast Spirit Fruit, its bloodline has evolved and transformed into an Innate Level spiritual beast, activating bloodline heritage.]
[Due to consuming and absorbing a large amount of Moon Essence containing a thread of Rule Power, its spiritual wisdom greatly increased, birthing Divine Soul Power, and further transforming its bloodline, awakening new Divine Skills.]
[Dark Stealth: After bloodline transformation, innate talent has also transformed into Divine Skills, fur can twist space, completely merging with darkness to conceal all traces.]
[Size as Desired: After consuming a large amount of Moon Essence and awakening this Divine Skill, able to control bodily changes, size according to Will.]
[According to legend, the Night Spirit Fox is very fond of eating fish but is naturally averse to water, forever yearning yet never catching.]
"It's actually mutated."
After reading the information appearing on Little Li, Lu Qing expressed his amazement.
Moon Essence was indeed a great opportunity bestowed by heaven and earth.
After consuming most of the bottle, Little Li had indeed transformed.
Not only had it gained Divine Soul Power but also awakened new Divine Skills.
"Little Li, have you awakened a new ability, like the one that allows you to enter into space?" Lu Qing asked.
Little Li tilted its head, trying hard to recall.
Suddenly, its eyes brightened, "Yes, I think I have a new ability, Ah Qing, I'll show you!"
After speaking, Little Li jumped down to the ground, and a strange aura emitted from its body, its fur suddenly shining with black light.
In the next moment, Lu Qing saw the body of Little Li, originally only the size of a raccoon, slowly begin to swell and grow larger.
In no time, it had grown to two meters in height, its fur also growing longer, like real burning black flames, looking very majestic.
The aura emanating from its body also doubled in intensity, giving Lu Qing a palpable sense of shock.
If their room were not on the first floor, the floorboards might have cracked beneath its weight.
"How about that, Ah Qing? I'm impressive, right?" Little Li looked down at Lu Qing with pride.
"Ah Qing, what's going on over there? Why is there suddenly a strong and unfamiliar aura?"
At that moment, the elder doctor's voice suddenly resounded in Lu Qing's mind.
"Master, it's nothing, I'm working on something new. I'll explain later," Lu Qing replied using Divine Soul communication.
Having heard this, the elder doctor did not inquire further.
"Little Li, can you conceal your aura?" Lu Qing asked.
After a moment's thought, Little Li said, "I'll try."
It then attuned to something and its aggressive momentum began to slowly decline until fully retracted into its body.
"Ah Qing, is this okay?"
"Not bad, well done," Lu Qing nodded appreciatively.
He knew that Little Li's Dark Stealth Divine Skill was an extremely unrivaled Innate Divine Ability, capable of perfectly concealing all its traces.
It would naturally not be difficult to control its aura.
"Little Li, can you now use another Divine Skill to conceal your body?"
After Little Li retracted its aura, Lu Qing continued to inquire.
Little Li tried and then shook its head, "I can't. It seems I can only use one ability at a time and not both simultaneously. But I feel that once I become more powerful, I should be able to do so."
It seemed that although Little Li had awakened two Innate Divine Abilities, it could not use them at the same time for now.
Nevertheless, given its current size, the amount of space-power needed to conceal itself would obviously be immensely greater.
