Chapter 41: Terrifying Attack Power

As Zhai Guangyi completed his evolution, the Magical Beasts he had blessed also received significant enhancements at the same time. Although the improvements weren’t as exaggerated as during the initial Blessing, their strength had noticeably increased.

Xiong Batian instantly felt the Spiked Club in her hand become much lighter, making it easier to smash the Giant Goblins. The Storm Holy Wolves, relentlessly attacking in the heavy rain, grew even fiercer, clearly sensing substantial improvements in their attributes.

“My head hurts…”

Xiong Er clutched her head, enduring the discomfort as she slowly sat up.

“You’re awake? Welcome to the underworld!”

Zhai Guangyi leaned in front of her, smiling brightly.

“Damn, are you trying to scare me to death? Did we manage to escape?”

Looking around, she recognized the familiar Divine Tree and her own little house. However, the Forest was still engulfed in a downpour, and the roars of Magical Beasts fighting or the screams of Goblins echoed incessantly through the woods.

Without waiting for Zhai Guangyi’s response, she already understood their current situation. Zhai Guangyi handed her several Magic Power fruits and Healing Fruits to help her recover.

“Since you’re awake and I’ve rested enough, it’s about time we go help out. There are too many Giant Goblins.”

“Mm.”

Zhai Guangyi summoned an Ice Spirit again. Currently, he could only summon one high-level Spirit. Instead of letting the System control it, he chose to control it himself, needing more practice to avoid another situation like last time where he had to flee helplessly when facing a powerful enemy.

“You can summon Spirits too? What level is your Spirit Magic?”

Looking at the doll-like Ice-Element Spirit, Xiong Er couldn’t hide her envy.

Zhai Guangyi didn’t intend to hide it from her and answered truthfully.

“Just Level 5.”

“Wow, you’re really willing to spend those Skill Points. My Level 2 Spirit Magic already costs 200 points, and I couldn’t bring myself to Level Up.”

“No, it started at Level 5.”

Xiong Er stared at the Ice Spirit’s elegant and agile doll-like figure, unable to tear her eyes away.

“I’m so jealous. I didn’t expect there to still be a gap between us. Damn it, I want a movable figurine lady too. Starting today, I’m only upgrading Spirit Magic.”

Zhai Guangyi directed the Ice Spirit to charge into the woods while he stayed in the rear.

“You should go help too. We might have gotten ourselves into trouble this time. Let’s deal with these surrounding Giant Goblins first, and then I’ll talk to you in detail.”

Xiong Er quickly realized that the trouble Zhai Guangyi mentioned wasn’t simple. Although Zhai Guangyi had just Transmigrated, their years of friendship as good buddies allowed her to immediately understand his meaning.

“Alright, I didn’t get to show off properly in front of you earlier. This time, you better watch closely.”

With that, Xiong Er confidently turned and chased after the direction the Ice Spirit had taken, lightning flickering around her. She had only been knocked unconscious by Shabi’s punch earlier, and her condition was still quite good. In an instant, Xiong Er had vanished from sight.

“Sigh, I’m so jealous you can run that fast.”

Zhai Guangyi looked at his frail body and then at his immobile giant tree, letting out a deep sigh.

The Berserk umbrella had already frozen into ice blocks upon nearing the Ice Spirit, chilled by the cold air surrounding it. The Ice Spirit itself was hard enough to withstand the constant barrage of ice chunks crashing against its body.

Zhai Guangyi controlled the Ice Spirit, wielding an ice sword as he continuously searched for the Giant Goblins. Every time he prepared to approach one, the frigid air around him descended first. With each step the Ice Spirit took, thick frost would form in its surroundings.

An intense chill enveloped the area, startling even a Storm Holy Wolf that had been battling a Giant Goblin. Zhai Guangyi directed the Ice Spirit to signal the Storm Holy Wolf to retreat quickly.

The Giant Goblin tried to turn and attack the Ice Spirit, but a wave of cold air left it immobilized, its body stiffening in place. Only its eyes darted around, seemingly unable to comprehend encountering such a thing in the height of summer.

Zhai Guangyi didn’t hesitate. With a single strike, he eliminated the Giant Goblin.

Zhai Guangyi thought it was too easy—the Giant Goblin was too weak. But then again, Giant Goblins were only around Level 25 to 30, with health generally around a thousand and low Magic Power, so they weren’t exactly formidable foes.

Qiqi, the Cat Girl who had received Zhai Guangyi’s Blessing, was having a blast. Her clan had harbored deep hatred for Goblins for years, having suffered endless invasions. Now, armed with newfound strength and powerful allies, she no longer felt fear.

Ding, obtained one thousand Spiritual Power.

Hearing the System’s prompt, Zhai Guangyi stopped overthinking. Killing a few more would help him Level Up. Although the benefits of leveling up were modest, reaching the level cap was crucial for evolution.

The Ice Spirit moved like a deity of slaughter. No Giant Goblin could withstand a single strike from it, and the intense cold left them unable to move, let alone fight back. It was no different from crushing an ant.

Xiong Er could also instantly kill Giant Goblins with her powerful Lightning Strike, but the skill consumed too much Magic Power. It was more efficient to rely on electric entanglement to wear them down slowly.

Watching the Ice Spirit advance fearlessly, cutting down everything in its path, Xiong Er immediately spent all her saved Skill Points to upgrade Spirit Magic to Level 3. At Level 3, Spirit Magic allowed her to summon a lower-tier spirit.

A fist-sized Ice Spirit appeared in Xiong Er’s palm, formless and merely elemental in nature. Compared to Zhai Guangyi’s elegant ice puppet, she couldn’t help but feel envious.

“No, I need to kill more, absorb more Magic Crystals, and get Spirit Magic to Level 5. A moving figurine—that would be absolutely amazing.”

Just as she was lost in thought, Xiong Batian struck down a Giant Goblin behind her with a single blow.

“Xiong Er, are you trying to get yourself killed? What’s wrong with you, spacing out in the middle of a battle?”

Looking at her disappointing daughter and then at Zhai Guangyi, who could summon such a massive Ice Spirit right from the start, she couldn’t help but sigh. Truly, the grass was always greener on the other side.

The battle lasted about two hours, and the Giant Goblins were completely wiped out by Zhai Guangyi and his allies. Sylph, the Divine Tree, continuously cast healing Magic from afar, ensuring none of the Followers lost their lives.

Even the Giant Goblins, who outnumbered Zhai Guangyi and his companions, could not gain the slightest advantage in this torrential downpour.

The one who gained the most from this battle was Xiong Batian. She had truly killed far too many, her entire body soaked as if drenched in blood, turning a deep, dark red. Her Level had also risen several times in succession, and the changes brought about by Zhai Guangyi’s evolution had further enhanced her significantly.

Race: Elven Sacred Bear (Xiong Batian)

Level: 52

Life Value: 19,000

Magic Power: 2,800

Attack Power: 7,200 + 3,800

Defense Power: 3,200

Speed: 220

Skills: Berserk Level 7, Stealth Level 4, Spirit Magic Level 1.

Blessed One: Sylph

Originally, Xiong Batian’s Attack Power was only 7,200, but when wielding the Spiked Club gifted by Zhai Guangyi, her Attack Power could soar to over 10,000. This made her the highest Attack Power entity Zhai Guangyi had encountered since using his Appraisal Magic. If she activated Berserk, this attribute could likely double.
