At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

In order to prevent Lei Yue and her tribe from attacking him and others on Huihui, Han Ning took everything into consideration and left basically no gaps for the other party.

He estimated that these actions of not harming humans were not a big deal to Lei Yue. The most important thing was... not to be hostile to Elena and him.

Lei Yue's expression turned green and red, and her heart was extremely entangled.

Every detail of living and training with the Apostles of Destruction came to mind.

The next second, she remembered that the tribe had lost a large strategic area because of Elena, and the value of the loss was far greater than the value of a Monarch IV soul beast, and she felt irritated.

The inner balance sways between the soul beast and revenge that grew up together.

On the other side, Han Ning saw the other party's delay in responding, and he roughly understood that Lei Yue was in a dilemma.

Having stayed with the old guy among the students for a long time, he also knows some concepts of negotiation.

During the negotiation process, you should not directly throw out your lowest bottom line, but try to raise your requirements as high as possible. After the other party refuses, you can then lower your requirements step by step.

Lei Yue decisively refused, as he expected.

So he relaxed some of the contract conditions a little and said: "I will not intervene in the grudge between you and Elena. I will only restrict you to fight in the secret realm. After five years, you can make a fight on your own after you leave the secret realm. How about it?"

"Return my brother's Horcrux. During the period in the secret realm, I will not act with you, but if we are in the same treasure hiding place in the future, we can cooperate. I have no objection to the other conditions." After a while, Lei Yue replied.

The outcome of the matter was beyond his expectation. He did not expect Lei Yue to agree to the requirements of the contract so easily.

Perhaps it was because of too much emphasis on destroying the apostles.

"Then sign the contract." He smiled politely.

A few minutes later, in the void of the treasure hall, the spiritual contract of the witch spirit clan's spiritual energy circuit was tumbling, and an illusory golden flame suddenly burned.

This means that Lei Yue has injected her spiritual power and chose to sign the contract.

"Happy cooperation, destroy the core of the apostle, and I will send the soul beast to the hall where you are."

Han Ning signaled the All-Seeing Silkworm to condense a puppet soul beast, remove the powerless energy core, and then use the panel to mobilize the free space cubes. First, use the third-party cube as a bridge, and then go to the space where Lei Yue is. Guaranteed to be foolproof.

boom! boom! boom!

At the end of the empty passage, heavy footsteps could be heard.

An "Apostle of Destruction" made entirely of flesh and blood, holding a round core that shimmered with golden light and was full of cracks, slowly walked to Lei Yue, squatted down, and handed the core to her.

"Roar!!!"

When the several soul beasts around her saw the coming person, their whole body spiritual energy exploded, terrifying spiritual pressure surged, and tangible pressure fell on the puppets.

As long as their master gives an order, the violent spiritual energy can completely tear the puppets in front of them to pieces!

"stop!"

Although Lei Yue was itching with anger inside and gnashing her teeth on her face, her body was very obedient, stopping the moves of her soul beasts and taking over the core.

"Gummi~"

The flesh-and-blood destruction apostle controlled by the little fat silkworm retracted his big hand, blinked his eyes, and made a mean salute gesture to Lei Yue, then turned into a pool of blood and disappeared between the passages.

"you!!"

…

Silence returned to the treasure hall.

Han Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

The sense of oppression brought by the Apostle of Destruction to them was too great. If it were not for the help of the Dragon Essence, they would have been expelled from the secret realm long ago.

Danger coexists with opportunity. When the danger is gone, what is left is full of harvest.

Han Ning only had some free time to check the detailed information of his own soul beasts.

In addition to replenishing losses all the time, the dragon's essence has no upper limit on the improvement of the soul beasts' qualifications, mental power, and spiritual energy.

Three days ago, its ability to improve the soul beasts' qualifications had reached the upper limit.

Not only did Yin Yi break through from Monarch I to Monarch II, her qualifications also rose from B to B+.

The Vientiane Silkworm even broke through and evolved independently, giving him a big surprise.

But as it evolved, the plan for evolving into a butterfly soul beast that had been suggested on the panel suddenly disappeared, and no further evolution plan was shown.

"This shows that... the Vientiane Spiritual Silkworm may have to reach a higher level before it can unlock new evolutionary conditions. Or does it mean that it has reached the end of its bloodline?"

Han Ning was still very curious about the origin of the All-Seeing Silkworms. He vaguely only knew that it was related to the Insect Queen, and perhaps the Aratak tribe.

"The B+ qualification is enough for the little fat silkworm to break through to the emperor level. Maybe when it reaches the emperor level, there will be a new plan." Han Ning guessed in his mind.

Both Egg Pancake and Feilin have reached the upper limit of B+. In terms of qualifications, Dragon Essence cannot provide them with much improvement, but they have made great progress in terms of mental power and strength.

The importance of mental power to soul beasts is self-evident, and it is the most important thing to understand divine will, soul power, and the following realms.

Although Feilin is a soul beast with B+ qualifications, because she was born late, her strength is slightly inferior to other companions, so it is difficult for her to play a big role in high-risk battles. Now she is about to break through to the monarch, and she has already begun to show some of her talents. momentum.

"This time, the qualifications of all the soul beasts have reached B+. It is too difficult to upgrade to A qualifications in a short time. We can fully help them improve their strength and reach Monarch IV as soon as possible..."

Among the people participating in the trial this time, there were several people whose strength was similar to Lei Yue's, which gave him a little more sense of urgency.

At present, the evolution of the four soul beasts has reached a bottleneck, and with the resources on hand being relatively sufficient, he has some expectations for the highly qualified soul beast cubs that will be rewarded in this trial.

With expectations, he naturally subconsciously regarded several of the strongest trialists as potential opponents.

"Gumi~~"

At the end of the battle, the Vientiane Spiritual Silkworms flew out of everyone's bodies, and the blurred red flesh merged into a plump little silkworm in mid-air. It chirped and fell onto Han Ning's shoulder.

At this time, the appearance of the Vientiane Spirit Silkworm has changed significantly.

The layers of wrinkles on the body disappeared without a trace, replaced by skin as smooth as jade.

On the round head, a pair of dark eyes shone with wisdom. Compared with the dull appearance when I first met it, it was a completely different creature.

There were a pair of short little claws on the front and back, firmly holding the owner's shoulders. He was holding his head high and staring at the dragon's heart in front of him, which had hardly become smaller.

From a distance, it doesn't look like a living thing at all, but rather like an exquisite jade work of art made by a master sculptor.

"That's right, little Fat Silkworm, you take the first credit in repelling the enemy this time."

Han Ning picked up the chubby body of the Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm, stretched out his fingers, and gently poked its round forehead.

"Gumi~~"

The Vientiane Silkworm blinked its round black eyes, subconsciously shook its fleshy body, and let out a high-pitched cry with some embarrassment.

"Eat, eat to your heart's content."

Han Ning stuffed the suspended dragon's heart into the claws of the All-Seeing Spirit Silkworm. The other spirit beasts also came closer and gathered around the little fat silkworm, looking at it curiously.

He placed the All-Seeing Silkworm on the egg cake's forehead, looked at the treasures in the palace, and said, "Little guys, keep working harder and knock all the treasures into the bag."

"If you encounter something you want to eat, feel free to eat it. Thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, he took out the high-quality storage bag given by Bobo Man and placed it on the ground.

What he is carrying now is really a space bag worthy of the name. For Bobo to make full use of the space stone with the power of space, combined with the spiritual energy array, the space bag can be filled with about 2 materials the size of this hall. .

"Ling~" "Chiji!" "Gumi~" "Eey~"

The four soul beasts separated and began to use various methods to stuff all the treasures in the hall into the space bag.

After a while, the magnificent hall became empty, and even the corals used for decoration on the walls were picked off by the egg cakes.

Except for Yin Yi, who is an elemental body, the other three little guys are lying on the ground with their round bellies and contented faces.

After some collection, a lot of high-end materials went into their stomachs, which greatly satisfied the appetites of the little guys.

"It's time to leave..."

Han Ning looked at the projected map on the panel and said to the Vientiane Spiritual Silkworm,

"Little Fat Silkworm, release the flesh puppets and wait for the opportunity to go to all square areas to look for traces of Elena and Miss Linke."

After collecting the treasures, there was no reason to stay. He didn't want to leave the Dragon Palace for the time being. It was relatively safe. He planned to find a remote place to practice in seclusion and raise his spiritual level to the fifth level.

Of course, before retreating, it is necessary to inform the other two companions of the relevant situation and guide them to the area where he is.

Although the panel controlled the center of the Dragon Palace's psychic array, it could not determine who the beast masters were inside each space. He could only use the method of scanning maps to let the All-Seeing Silkworms find their companions.

The Vientiane Silkworms that have broken through to the monarch have been able to condense 300 lord-level puppets. It is not a big difficulty to transmit the message.

…

In a lifeless side hall.

The light flickers.

Han Ning and the soul beasts arrived here.

He reached out and made a move, and the slowly rotating Tower of Babel emerged.

"Crazyly absorbing the essence of the dragon, the panel seems to have been upgraded, unlocking new functions."

Han Ning recalled a line of prompts that flashed across the panel during the battle. He didn't have time to look at it carefully at the time, but he looked at it intently now.

[Your mental power has reached the minimum level to unlock the 'body-spiritual change' function. 】

[Physical-Spiritual Change]: Transform the excess energy overflowing from the body into mental power without affecting health. This process is irreversible. (Dangerous changes can be carried out, and the limit of change is the basic state that can only maintain the continuation of life; Note: The stronger the physical quality of the host, the greater the degree of change.)

"It looks very powerful, but I don't know the specific effect."

Physical-mental changes:

Safety line: The current body's changeable energy is 17.618% of the body's total energy;

Danger line: 70% of total body energy;

"First change it to test the waters."

Han Ning locked his mind on the safe range of changes, and then said silently:

"Start changing!"

snort--

As soon as he sent this thought, Han Ning suddenly felt a sharp tingling sensation all over his body and limbs.

That feeling was like Grandma Rong piercing her body with thirty-six thousand hair-thin needles.

His vision went dark, and he had symptoms of hypoglycemia.

You know, his current physical strength is comparable to a warrior-level soul beast.

After the Vientiane Spirit Silkworm broke through, the physical strength further increased, almost reaching the ultimate level of a warrior.

Weakness indicates that the body's energy is rapidly draining away.

At the same time, Han Ning discovered that the dense red mist visible to the naked eye came out of his cheeks, chest, and limbs, and quickly rotated around his body.

After more than ten seconds, the gossamer-like red mist began to change color.

From the dark red of blood, it slowly changes to white with a hint of light yellow, like the color of starlight.

They floated to a distance of three inches in front of the eyebrows, like a rotating nebula.

In his spiritual world, there was an instinctive hunger.

Without any prompting, he actively mobilized his mental power and tried to communicate with the nebula in front of his eyebrows.

The next second, the rotating nebula found an outlet for catharsis.

Taking Han Ning's eyebrows as the starting point, the surrounding nebula formed a vortex and penetrated into his eyebrows.

Within the brain, there was a special feeling of coldness and biting.

There were waves of weakness in the physical body, as if exhausted.

But deep in his brain, there was a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.

The conflict made Han Ning feel like dying.

After 30 seconds, the body stops bleeding.

The nebula disappears into nothingness.

He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Through the reflection of the palace wall, he could clearly see that his cheek was now withered, and there was only a layer of flesh left on his body, which was no different from a skeleton.

Although he was full of energy, he still felt tired from the depths of his soul, as if he had overindulged and something in his body had been drained.

Seeing this, the Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm exclaimed and quickly got into the master's body, helping the master quickly recover his energy and blood.

He held onto the floor to stabilize his body, closed his eyes, and checked the progress of his mental training.

Current mental power progress: Level 4 (81%)

"It's just..." Han Ning's lips turned pale and his expression was slightly excited.

One change can improve progress by 1%!

If he wants to improve his current fourth-level mental power by 1%, it will take several months with the help of Babel Tower.

In just a few dozen seconds, it increased by 1%!

Han Ning called out the panel and looked at the parameters displayed above.

Physical-spiritual changes:

Safety line: The current body's variable energy is 0% of the body's total energy;

Danger line: 50% of total body energy;

You are currently in a state of soul fatigue.

Estimated recovery time: 20 days. (Active exercise and a reasonable diet can shorten the time.)

"It will take 20 days..."

"It's a pity that you can't brush it casually, otherwise it will become a perpetual motion machine."

After thinking about it, Han Ning felt that his idea was too greedy and couldn't help but smile.

"Then... next, attack the fifth spiritual level with all your strength!"
