Li Xiu hadn’t had the chance to sense the Demon Spirit Ring’s spirit information when he suddenly felt an earth-shattering change within his body.
A thread of light began to ignite within his body, as if every cell was set ablaze, emitting transparent light.
"I’ve ascended!" Li Xiu felt the ups and downs of life intensely; moments ago he feared his efforts were wasted, yet the ruby turned into a Demon Spirit Ring, allowing him to successfully ascend to D-level.
The energies from the two Symbiotic Contracts were continuously erupting, resonating with Li Xiu’s own energy, propelling him and the two Symbiotic Contracts through a transformation.
After the transformation process for his body and the Symbiotic Contracts was completed, both Li Xiu and the Symbiotic Contracts ascended to D-level.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 2.1.
Symbiotic Contracts: Evil Spirit Token, Forbidden Spear.
Talent Skills: Ultimate Light (twenty percent), Twin Souls (Dual Change), The Seventh Great Taboo No Killing, The Seventh Great Taboo Immortality.
Evil Spirit Token: Symbiotic Contract.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 2.1.
Talent Skill: Twin Souls (Dual Change).
Forbidden Spear: Symbiotic Contract.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 2.1.
Talent Skills: The Seventh Great Taboo No Killing, The Seventh Great Taboo Immortality.
Li Xiu studied for a while, noticing that only the Forbidden Spear appeared normal, gaining a new talent skill with the level ascension.
His own Ultimate Light did not gain new talent skills upon ascension, only a percentage was added behind it. Post-ascension, the Evil Spirit Token also did not gain any new talent skills; the original Twin Souls talent skill had a Dual Change annotation added behind it.
Li Xiu was unclear about what the Ultimate Light percentage meant, as the information did not provide any explanation.
However, the Twin Souls annotation "Dual Change" for the Evil Spirit Token surprised Li Xiu.
With a thought, Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Spear into his right hand, perceiving no significant difference except for blood-red patterns spreading across its jade white bone-like shaft.
With a motion of his left hand, another Forbidden Spear appeared, eerily similar to the one in his right hand, though its patterns were blue.
This Dual Change ability of the Evil Spirit Token allows it to transform into the likeness of another Symbiotic Contract, not just in appearance but possessing all abilities of the Forbidden Spear.
The Forbidden Spear had a new Undying Bullet ability beside the No Killing Bullet, which made for interesting reading.
The Seventh Great Taboo Immortality: The Undying Bullet can convert energy to repair damaged matter.
"Convert energy to repair damaged matter, so basically heal wounds?" Li Xiu felt the trajectory of this Symbiotic Contract was off; he did not intend to become a healer like Chu Jun.
"Can’t you give me a skill with some destructive power!" Li Xiu exclaimed, feeling speechless.
Without testing the Undying Bullet’s ability, Li Xiu proceeded to investigate the newly acquired spirit further.
Bride to Be Under the Starry Sky: Spirit.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 1.
Talent Skill: Wedding Dress.
"Aurora..." Li Xiu was dumbfounded; besides himself, this was the first creature he saw with Aurora quality.
Despite the attributes seeming excellent, the E-level creature bearing talent skills, only the Black Death Demon King possessed such a trait.
Yet the talent skill "Wedding Dress" puzzled Li Xiu as to its purpose.
The Bride to Be Under the Starry Sky was summoned forth; the Demon Spirit Ring in his hand flashed red before disappearing.
"Hus...band..." a eerie feminine voice, seemingly originating from the nether realm, echoed ethereally.
Li Xiu’s eyes widened in horror, appearing as if he had seen a ghost.
In front of him floated a red-robed ghostly bride, her hair unkempt, suspended in mid-air with her arms and legs eerily drooping, her head lowered with long black hair cascading like a waterfall shrouding her face, much like Sadako.
"Oh come on... That’s not a bride to be... that’s Sadako ready for marriage..." Li Xiu felt his scalp tingle, having such a thing float before him, calling to him as a husband.
It gave Li Xiu an illusion that a ghostly bride intended to drag him into hell to be a ghostly couple.
"Though her appearance leaves much to be desired, maybe her combat strength is impressive? Spirits may have imposing battle abilities despite their appearance. This is an extraordinary Aurora spirit, its battle capabilities must be overwhelming." Li Xiu comforted himself.
Li Xiu resolved to test her prowess by combating spirits, deciding to recall the bride to be and heading to the Trial Gate afterwards.
"Where are you heading?" Chu Jun was just returning home when he ran into Li Xiu about to leave.
Seeing Chu Jun, Li Xiu suddenly brightened, smiling as he said, "I’m off to Black Death City to hunt spirits. Care to join?"
"Sure, but it depends on your luck in randomly receiving an entry ticket." Chu Jun chuckled.
"Do you have a Trial Badge?" Li Xiu inquired.
"I do, but without randomly obtaining the entry ticket, a Trial Badge is useless." Chu Jun replied.
"As long as you’re willing to use the Trial Badge, I’ll ensure the entry ticket is taken care of." A brighter smile blossomed on Li Xiu’s face.
