Chapter 187: Bathing in Lava, Sun Form! (First Upload)

The Heart of the Sun looked as big as a basketball, but it was due to the ball of fire that appeared on the outside.

In fact, it was only the size of a fingernail.

The Flaming Cloud Crow leaped forward and swallowed it with a peck.

Just then.

Flames started burning on its body, making it resemble a ball of moving flames.

It then leaped back and swallowed 30 elemental essences very quickly.

“Squawk ~”

It burped and felt a little stuffed.

But it didn’t dare to delay. It quickly flew towards the core of the lava area, the evolution field that had long been set up.

It landed in the center of the field.

Red light blossomed.

Flames raged.

A huge coc.o.o.n of light enveloped it.

Su Hao kept staring.

“Absorbing the Heart of the Sun to evolve can allow the Flaming Feather Form to improve further. Furthermore, it can also change its characteristics.”

The characteristics of sprites were like symbols engraved on their bodies. Logically speaking, they couldn’t be changed.

Just like how a man can’t turn into a woman… Cough, cough, seems like it can be done too?

But when sprites evolved, the internal genetic changes and external appearance also changed drastically.

According to biological theory, they weren’t even considered a species anymore.

Its entire body had changed, and its characteristics naturally had a chance to change.

It was just very difficult.

Even a Sprite Cultivator wouldn’t dare to say that they could 100% change the characteristics of a sprite.

“The burning characteristic. If it can be changed to ultra-high temperature, it will also increase the Flaming Cloud Crow’s strength significantly.”

Burning could cause fire-element sprites to attack with a burning effect, causing sustained damage.

Ultra-high temperatures allowed sprites to possess extremely high temperatures.

There was no difference between the two characteristics, but Burning wasn’t very compatible with the Flaming Cloud Crow’s instant kill.

Only the ‘Ultra-high Temperature’ characteristic could satisfy the advancement of the Flaming Feather Form.

For example, Liu Ren’s Lava Dragon Turtle’s battle system was a vulgar counterattack style, so the burning characteristic was very suitable.

They would slowly grind their opponents to death.

At this moment…

A huge red coc.o.o.n of light stood there quietly, like a huge egg.

b.u.t.terfly flew closer and took out its cell phone to take pictures.

The Water Unicorn Beast ran back and forth, smoke gradually rising from its feet.

Electric Bear…

“Howl, howl, howl?” It touched its head and asked.

“No, I refuse. There’s no room for discussion,” Su Hao said. “Take a look. It’ll be helpful for your future evolution.”

Electric Bear: “???”

Firstly, it was a bear, not a crow.

Secondly, it was a thunder-element bear, not a fire-element one.

But it looked at Su Hao, then at Boss b.u.t.terfly and the Water Unicorn Beast, and could only shut its mouth silently.

It looked sad like a bear cub weighing 580 pounds.

…

Three sprites, three people, were watching the evolution of the Flaming Cloud Crow.

Liu Ren’s sprite didn’t come.

After all, there were also tickets to the Lava Area. People didn’t need to pay, but sprites were charged per head.

“The rich thigh Su actually bought tickets for sprite sightseeing.”

“Did you hear that? You spent the ticket money. Focus.”

Su Hao turned and said to the Electric Bear.

Lightning Bear: “(oT-T) Corpse”

…

The evolution of the first to second type required more energy to acc.u.mulate.

It took even longer.

It took about an hour.

Su Hao waited, waited, waited, waited…

He couldn’t help but take out his cell phone.

Electric Bear: “Huh?”

“Forget it, I’ll play you a cartoon.”

He looked for Li Songting, who was still exercising, and borrowed a cell phone.

Playing cartoons for the Electric Bear.

A story that had to be told between the three bears and the bald expert.

The Electric Bear, which was also a bear species, was very immersed into the story. It watched with relish.

…

Time pa.s.sed.

Liu Ren looked at the time on his cell phone and asked, “Has it cooked… I mean, has it almost succeeded?”

Su Hao stood up and took a few looks.

That red coc.o.o.n of light was round and big, just like that fat and chubby bear.

But he couldn’t estimate either.

After thinking about it, Su Hao stared at the interface silently.

Stare—

[Sprite: Flaming Cloud Crow (Evolving)]

[Status: Evolution progress 96%, estimated remaining time: 130 seconds]

“About 130 seconds,” Su Hao said.

“What did you say?”

Liu Ren felt that he had heard wrongly.

Evolution can even be precise to seconds?

“After all, I’m already a high-level Sprite Cultivator.”

“Even high-level Sprite Cultivators can’t… Wait!!!”

Liu Ren’s eyes widened.

Li Songting, whose mind was filled with muscles, suddenly stopped in his small steps.

They all discovered blind spots.

“When did you become a high-level Sprite Cultivator? Isn’t that the same level as the instructors?!”

Su Hao straightened his clothes and pretended to say in a nonchalant tone, “A while ago, didn’t I go to partic.i.p.ate in the Sprite Cultivator Cup? Then…”

Question: Is there any necessary connection between partic.i.p.ating in the Sprite Cultivator Cup and getting certified to the advanced level?

Answer: No.

Liu Ren held it in for a while before finally saying, “You’re a fake Sprite Trainer!”

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

He clearly wanted to become a real Sprite Trainer expert.

But he didn’t know why…

Sprite Cultivator levels were always ahead of Sprite Trainers.

“Actually, I didn’t deliberately qualify for it.”

But the official Sprite Cultivator a.s.sociation insisted on giving him the t.i.tle of advanced Sprite Cultivator.

He didn’t have a choice either.

Liu Ren expressed that he didn’t want to speak and stared at the huge light coc.o.o.n.

Before long…

Crack ~

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Cracks appeared on the light coc.o.o.n.

The next moment…

“Squawk!!!”

With a sharp cry, the fire bird broke through the light coc.o.o.n and spread its wings to fly.

It was several times larger than when it was still the Flaming Cloud Crow.

Its wings opened, about two to three meters long.

On its body, the original black feathers became dark red. On its neck, tail feathers, and the tips of its two wings, the feathers turned bright red.

Flames surrounded its body. When it spread its wings and flew, it dragged a long tail flame.

Like a flaming ribbon.

It was dignified.

n.o.ble.

It was the Flaming Spiritcrow!

The evolved Flaming Spirit Crow was like a gra.s.s chicken that had turned into a phoenix. Even its style was different.

“It seems a little strong,” Liu Ren muttered.

Su Hao looked over.

Thick red light still spread around the Flaming Spiritcrow.

It had yet to completely digest the many materials it had absorbed.

Especially that Heart of the Sun.

With a “stare”, he opened the interface of the Flaming Spirit Crow.

The characteristic column had already become ‘Ultra-high Temperature’.

“Very good!”

He looked at the figure in the air and ordered, “Go into the lava!”

“Squawk…”

The Flaming Spiritcrow flew to a high alt.i.tude, leaving only a black shadow in the outline of the sun.

In an instant, it dived straight down again and rushed into one of the huge lava pools like a meteor falling to the ground.

It plunged in.

Boiling hot lava surged and swallowed its figure. In the blink of an eye, there was no more movement on the lava pool.

It was as if the whole crow had melted.

“Can it withstand it?” Liu Ren asked.

Fire-element sprites similarly had limits.

It was not immune to high temperatures, nor flames.

The Flaming Feather Form also had a threshold to bear.

And the temperature of the lava…

Su Hao looked over, his expression calm.

On the interface, the Flaming Spiritcrow was using the power of the lava to complete its final transformation.

The surface of the lava pool was calm for dozens of seconds.

Suddenly…

It rolled violently.

A sharp cry came from the bottom of the lava pool.

The next moment…

Boom!!!

The whole lava pool exploded, like a huge pillar of fire soaring into the sky. Orange and sticky substances flew everywhere.

It landed on the surrounding ground, producing sizzling white smoke.

On the flame pillar, one… no, a huge fire ball rose into the sky.

It was like a small sun, emitting endless light and heat!

Amidst the blazing sun, one could vaguely see a black shadow spreading its wings. Rings of dazzling halos spread out!

It rose higher and higher, rus.h.i.+ng into the clouds.

Looking across, it seemed like there were two suns in the sky at the same time!

An existence that stood shoulder to shoulder!

It was so dazzling that one couldn’t open their eyes.

Flaming Spirit Crow!

Sun Form!
