Chapter 231: Chapter 108: Super Evolution! Thunderstruck Ghost Mosquito! Skill Advancement

This was the fruit of the Mosquito Avatar’s painstaking search through the vast, dense forest over the past few days.

Lin Yi’s consciousness peered through the Mosquito Avatar’s compound eyes, taking in the sight of a cave filled with treasures.

The corners of his mouth turned up in an unconscious smile.

’Tsk, tsk. If some lucky bastard were to stumble in here by accident, they’d become rich overnight. They’d probably wake up laughing in their sleep!’

Lin Yi mused to himself. But along with his excitement, a sense of urgency began to grow.

’No, this won’t do. Delays breed complications. I need to find an excuse to come to Taihang Mountain myself as soon as possible and haul all these precious goodies away!’

His mind made up, he wasted no more time.

With a flicker of his will, he had the Mosquito Avatar fly nimbly out of the cave.

The avatar’s tiny body erupted with a strength completely disproportionate to its size. It pushed a hard rock, just two meters high, which rumbled as it rolled toward the cave entrance.

The giant stone sealed the cave entrance perfectly, leaving only a few imperceptible cracks.

The cave was already situated on a steep, remote cliff. Now, hidden by the giant stone, it blended seamlessly with its surroundings.

It would be nearly impossible to find, unless someone was searching for it deliberately or possessed special means of detection.

With that done, Lin Yi had the Mosquito Avatar change course and speed toward the training camp.

The Mosquito Avatar’s proboscis had been severely damaged while absorbing the treasure blood and was in urgent need of repair using the Kidney Water Spiritual Essence.

The evolved flight skill, Thunder Escape, truly lived up to its name!

The avatar’s speed was incredible, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the air. Below, the rolling mountain ranges and towering ancient trees blurred into afterimages as they shot past.

In just a few moments,

The Mosquito Avatar had already slipped back into the heavily guarded training camp without a sound.

It landed precisely inside Lin Yi’s dormitory.

Lin Yi was on his sofa, resting with his eyes closed.

He slowly opened his eyes and held out his palm.

The Mosquito Avatar landed lightly in his palm, its damaged proboscis especially clear up close.

’Heal!’

Lin Yi focused his mind, and the power of the Kidney Water Spiritual Essence within him was instantly mobilized.

HUMM!

A cool stream of energy, like water from a gurgling spring, flowed from Lin Yi’s palm and gently enveloped the Mosquito Avatar.

To the naked eye, the cell tissue at the site of the avatar’s damaged proboscis began to divide, multiply, and reorganize at a frantic pace.

CRACKLE~ CRACKLE~

The sounds were subtle, yet clear.

The previously severed proboscis rapidly grew and extended.

In the blink of an eye, it was good as new.

Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

’Go.’ ℯ

The Mosquito Avatar gently beat its wings and once again transformed into an imperceptible bolt of violet lightning. It shot through the dormitory window in an instant, streaking toward the Taihang Mountain Range.

’I hope I can find the Jade Ore Vein on this trip to Taihang Mountain,’ Lin Yi thought.

In truth, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t considered ordering a few Jade Boxes—special containers for Spiritual Objects—from an online shop.

The problem was—

The Mosquito Avatar could sneak into the training camp while invisible.

But the Jade Boxes he would buy couldn’t turn invisible!

A big box like that floating conspicuously in mid-air? It would be a miracle if it wasn’t spotted by the training camp’s surveillance or one of its experts.

The risk was too great. He had to drop the idea for now.

Lin Yi thought with a sigh of resignation,

’Oh well. After I leave the training camp, I’ll go back to Taihang Mountain and take care of everything then.’

As the Mosquito Avatar disappeared once again into the vast, dense forests of Taihang Mountain, Lin Yi confirmed that everything was settled and that there were no immediate dangers requiring his constant attention.

Only then did he slowly withdraw the bulk of his consciousness from the avatar.

He then turned his attention to his own body.

’Thunder Bone!’

Lin Yi was now at the peak of the Third Grade, but even so, he was not yet able to look inside his own body.

However, he could clearly perceive the Spiritual Essence within him.

It was as obvious as a torch in the dark.

His nose, his right middle finger, his heart, his kidneys, and his sixth spinal vertebra!

At this moment, he possessed five types of Spiritual Essence.

Spiritual Nose, Thousand Silk, Heart Fire, Kidney Water, and Thunder Bone!

Aside from the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence he had just acquired,

the Spiritual Nose Spirit Essence and Thousand Silk Spiritual Essence were somewhat underwhelming; their uses weren’t very significant.

The Kidney Water Spiritual Essence and Heart Fire Spiritual Essence, on the other hand, were extraordinarily useful.

His cultivation realm had advanced so rapidly in large part thanks to the Kidney Water Spiritual Essence.

’Time to see what this Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence can do!’

Lin Yi instantly activated the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence located in his sixth spinal vertebra.

The next moment, a shudder ran through him. Lin Yi felt sparks of electricity coursing through his body. Then, the electricity converged on his right hand. Finally, a spear of lightning materialized in his hand.

The entire spear pulsed with a blinding electric light. Arcs of electricity slithered along its shaft, emitting a heart-pounding CRACKLE.

An aura of violent, destructive, all-penetrating power radiated out, bathing the entire dormitory in an eerie blue light.

’Is this... the Spear of the Thunder God?!’

Lin Yi stared at the spear of pure Thunder in his hand, his eyes shining with irrepressible delight.

He could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained within the spear.

With just a thought, he could hurl it, and it would undoubtedly detonate on a distant enemy like a high-explosive bomb!

This was the perfect weapon for medium- to long-range combat!

Unfortunately, his small dormitory was in no way equipped to handle such violent energy.

’Break!’

Lin Yi’s fingers clenched into a fist, crushing the spear!

BANG! BOOM!

The spear of lightning exploded in his palm!

There was no earth-shattering boom. Instead, the spear dissolved into countless violent, twisting serpents of blue lightning that spread wildly through the air, transforming the surrounding few meters into a temporary Thunder Realm.

After a few seconds,

the violent electrical serpents reluctantly dissipated, leaving behind the smell of burnt ozone and a faint sense of Paralysis in the air.

’The power... is probably equivalent to a full-strength strike from an ordinary Third-Grade Martial Artist.’

Lin Yi carefully considered the momentary impact of the explosion.

’What a pity!’ he thought.

The Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence was very powerful.

Unfortunately, the Martial Dao community on Blue Star was still in the earliest, most primitive stages of understanding and developing the mysterious power of Spiritual Essence.

He was sitting on a mountain of treasure but had no way to develop its deeper potential.

For now, he could only use its most superficial, crudest abilities.

For Lin Yi, who could already clear Tier Eight of the combat chamber and whose fighting strength far surpassed that of an ordinary peak Third-Grade Martial Artist, the power of this lightning spear was indeed rather underwhelming. It had little practical value in a real fight.

However...

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

He had never been interested in the direct offensive power of the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence!

What he truly valued was the affinity it granted him for the Thunder Law!

With the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence, his affinity for and perception of the Thunder Law would surely be far beyond that of any ordinary person!

That was the real treasure!

He had been hesitating before, unsure of which Body Technique to choose.

Now, there was no hesitation!

Thunder Light Step!
