Chapter 555: Comprehensive Improvement

Three beastman warriors nodded in unison: "Rest assured, we will definitely work hard on our cultivation."

Good partner, no need to worry about losing consciousness, mental collapse—what's there to hesitate about? Just go ahead and cultivate.

The three immediately began discussing the matter of taking turns guarding the tribe.

At this moment, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang had already returned to their living quarters.

Wu Yue directly took out a plain-colored porcelain bottle from the system space and handed it to Yuan Lang: "This contains the Spirit-Gathering Pill I earned from completing the last mission; it will allow you to perfectly break through to the Gold rank."

Yuan Lang took the bottle she handed over, stepped forward and embraced her in his arms: "Wait for me."

Having said that, he turned and walked into the room on the left.

After Wu Yue exchanged a protective barrier talisman from the system shop to protect the house where the two were, she also turned and entered her own room.

Tongzi in the system space looked at the host's familiar fruit in her hand, his eyes lighting up: "Host, are you going to activate the second shamanic attribute?"

Feeling the slight coolness in her hand, Wu Yue nodded: "I don't know what attribute of shamanic power will awaken; I hope this time it will increase combat power."

Tongzi rubbed his hands eagerly: "Besides poison shaman, the only way to boost combat power is insect shaman; do you like little bugs, host?"

Thinking of the strange-smelling, ugly insects released by the Niluo shaman, Wu Yue expressed inner rejection—there's nothing to be done, they're just too ugly.

"Best if it's poison shaman; I don't want to deal with insects."

Seeing his host's disgusted expression, Tongzi's chubby face showed a mischievous smile.

The Awakening Fruit's texture was soft and sweet; as she ate it, her mouth felt like she was eating durian, making her unconsciously enjoy it and narrow her eyes.

When I have more points later, I'll exchange for lots and lots of Awakening Fruits to eat my fill.

Immersed in the wonderful taste of the Awakening Fruit, Wu Yue felt a warmth rise in her abdomen, her body as if soaking in warm spring water, every cell emitting a moan of enjoyment—it was too comfortable.

At this moment, in Tongzi's view, the host was completely surrounded by a ring of colored light, making the person inside invisible.

But he could feel an energy distinct from the life aura of healing shamanic power beginning to generate and take root within the host's body.

The awakening didn't last long; as the sun just peeked out a few strands of forehead hair, the colored light halo surrounding Wu Yue, after a throb, quickly sank into her body.

"Host, how do you feel? Quickly sense what attribute of shamanic power has awakened."

The chattering little Tongzi bounced around in the system space, wishing he could dive into the host's body to see what the new shamanic power looked like.

Wu Yue nodded slightly excitedly: "Mm."

She then closed her eyes to communicate with the new shamanic power within; the air trembled slightly, a flash of colored light passed, but nothing appeared on her palm.

Feeling the information of this colored shamanic power, Wu Yue only felt that something was wrong with her whole self, her face stiffening.

Seeing her expression as if she had eaten feces, Tongzi seemed to guess something, his chubby little body bouncing as he asked excitedly: "Is it really insect shaman?"

Upon hearing that, Wu Yue's eyes grew resentful: "What do you mean 'really'? Did you know from the start that I was about to awaken as insect shaman?"

Having accidentally revealed something, Tongzi's small face stiffened, he gave a dry cough twice, guiltily saying: "How would I know? Hehe, I was just guessing... guessing... I draw four!"

Although Wu Yue still had doubts, the awakening was already a settled fact, impossible to change; she could only secretly comfort herself that she could find some insects not so misshapen to cultivate.

"Knock knock knock, Yue."

The wooden door was knocked, and Yuan Lang's voice came from outside.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up instantly, she quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

Looking at the beastman outside who showed no change, her eyes full of anticipation: "Yuan Lang, did you succeed?"

The beastman chuckled and nodded: "With the miraculous fruit you gave me, success was natural, and there was no danger at all."

A large hand with distinct joints stretched out, dazzling beastgod power coiling around the palm.

"Our tribe finally has a Gold-rank beastman warrior..."

Wu Yue sighed.

"Host, don't be melancholy here—isn't there still one fruit? Now give Yuan Lang the Beast Spirit Pill to evolve; when he breaks through to a higher level above Gold rank and awakens again, he'll be able to possess two evolution abilities."

Wu Yue became completely excited, flipping her hand to stuff another porcelain bottle into the somewhat stunned beastman's hand and explaining the pill's use: "Hurry up—right now, only you can take this pill."

Yuan Lang's large hand suddenly clenched: "Good."

Watching the beastman re-enter the bedroom, Wu Yue couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

"Tongzi, what do you think Yuan Lang will evolve into?"

Tongzi gave a speechless look at his host, who was obsessed with male beauty and couldn't extricate herself: "No matter what he evolves into, he won't lose out, alright."

"Just joking—compared to other beastmen, he gets an extra evolution chance; you know beastmen only have one evolution opportunity in their lifetime, which is when they break through Gold rank to a higher level."

The Beast Spirit Pill's evolution is obviously painful; even a beastman like Yuan Lang can't help but occasionally groan in pain.

When Wu Yue outside the room heard his cries of pain, she suddenly stood up: "Tongzi, I just heard Yuan Lang's voice—he sounds like he's in great pain."

"Host, the beastman's evolution this time is to gain a new ability, requiring a new thing to grow on his body; it's bound to be somewhat painful—just endure it."

Watching his host frown and clench his hands, occasionally stretching his neck to look toward Yuan Lang's room, even pacing back and forth on the ground.

As Tongzi was watching the excitement, he suddenly seemed to think of something, his mouth twitching sharply a few times: "Host, you're just like a husband waiting outside the delivery room."

Wu Yue: "..."

Dog System, hearing you say that, I myself feel a bit like I'm about to become a father...

But surely when Yuan Lang comes out and knows what we're thinking, he won't be very happy.

This evolution lasted almost a full day straight; during it, Wu Yue even smelled a faint scent of blood through the crack in the door.

On the evening of the next day, Yuan Lang finally changed into new clothes and left the room.

He quickly came to Wu Yue's side, reached out and bent over, his sturdy right arm wrapping around her knee, letting her little butt sit on his arm; after greeting Teng Kun who was guarding the tribe, he then carried Wu Yue in his arms and rushed toward the forest like a gust of wind.

"Yuan Lang, where are we going?"

Beastfolk's smiling voice sounded in my ear: "Let me show you the ability I have evolved."
