Chapter 97: Upgrade!

"Demon Vine, for the next month you must eat meat."

Chen Mo first shared the Gluttonous Lion+ with the little Demon Vine, letting the azure vines accelerate their growth by absorbing flesh and blood nutrients!

The current azure Demon Vine is already over 30 meters tall, and its size will surely become even more terrifying.

Little Demon Vine, let me see your limit!

After the Gluttonous Lion+ is completed, share the Couch Potato Happy Lion with the little Demon Vine to enhance the vines' toughness and defense.

Once the little Demon Vine's Transcendent Rank rises, it will surely become a very powerful combat force!

Chen Mo placed a Gluttonous Pig in front of the Demon Vine.

The vines' thorns pierced the Gluttonous Pig's body, beginning to rapidly absorb its flesh and blood.

Soon, the Gluttonous Pig withered away.

A Demon Vine clone can grow up to 25 meters, and devouring 1,000 kg of flesh and blood in a day is trivial for it.

"Meat doesn't taste good. Spiritual rain does."

After finishing the Gluttonous Pig, the azure Demon Vine plaintively conveyed a vague thought to Chen Mo.

Obviously, it doesn't really like the taste of flesh, but under the Father God's command, it ate it all.

For it, the most delicious food is the "Spiritual Rain" released by the Father God.

Chen Mo gathered ice‑type spiritual energy and released a continuous Spiritual Rain over the little Demon Vine's head.

Under the Spiritual Rain, the azure Demon Vine's trunk swayed as if drunk, conveying a feeling of joy.

"Thank you, Father God."

After irrigating the little Demon Vine, Chen Mo continued to review the gains from this upgrade.

"There are also two Self‑Discipline Quality Upgrade Cards."

In addition to the Self‑Discipline sharing slots, the Self‑Discipline Panel gave two Self‑Discipline Quality Upgrade Cards, which can directly upgrade a white title to green quality.

When he previously ascended to the mid‑Lord Realm, the Self‑Discipline Panel had given one.

This means he can now upgrade three white titles.

Chen Mo currently possesses many white titles.

Raging Lion, Berserk Lion, Roaring Lion, Leaping Lion, Teaching Lion, etc.

Because as his Transcendent Rank rises, the Self‑Discipline Panel's refreshed Self‑Discipline Challenge quality also increases.

Chen Mo feels that he will rarely encounter white‑quality Self‑Discipline Challenges in the future.

So he decided to use all three Self‑Discipline Quality Upgrade Cards.

After thinking, he upgraded the titles Raging Lion, Roaring Lion, and Teaching Lion.

In an instant, streams of electricity surged through his body again.

This is the bodily enhancement that comes with the upgraded Raging Lion! Chen Mo has long become accustomed to this tingling, sharp sensation.

After the quality upgrade, Chen Mo couldn't help glancing at his attribute panel—

【Silver‑Armored Ice Lion (Male)】

【Rank: High‑Level Lord】

【Constitution: 614】

【Agility: 460→508】

【Strength: 489】

【Spirit: 412】

【Abilities: Ice Storm, Ice Illusion Technique, Ice‑Wind Roar, Frostfall, Minor Spiritual Rain Technique, Mystic Ice Claw, Frost Solidification, Wild Revival】

【Overall Combat Power: 6500~8823】

Among them, Raging Lion increased his agility by over 40 points, giving his speed a huge boost and upgrading the Raging form. Chen Mo tried it and found his burst speed could reach 540 m/s, far surpassing the speed of sound.

At full sprint, most creatures cannot even catch a glimpse of him! Besides the physical boost, Roaring Lion+ (green) makes Chen Mo's lion roar more powerful and adds a certain Fear effect; creatures hearing the roar subconsciously feel dread.

The upgraded Teaching Lion improves his teaching ability; when imparting knowledge or techniques, other Transcendent beings can understand and comprehend more easily.

In addition, it slightly raises Chen Mo's comprehension and marginally speeds up his technique learning.

"With my current teaching level, I might already be able to impart techniques! Worth a try!"

After feeling the bodily changes, Chen Mo's gaze turned forward.

At this moment, only two Second‑Tier Divine Pills remain in the center of the Ice Vault.

Chen Mo grabbed them and then slowly walked out of the Ice Vault.

He intends to give these two Divine Pills to Lion Sister Aisha and Xiong Ba.

They are Chen Mo's true "confidants", highly trusted.

Simply in terms of spiritual energy provided, one Second‑Tier Divine Pill equals ten First‑Tier Divine Pills.

But the greatest effect of a Second‑Tier Divine Pill is to help a Transcendent Peak being break through to the Lord Realm.

He can now increase the spiritual energy in his Ice Pill by consuming ordinary Transcendent flesh and First‑Tier Divine Pills; it's slower, but with enough quantity the effect is the same.

So letting Lion Sister and Xiong Ba ascend to the Lord Realm could have a greater impact.

Aisha and Xiong Ba haven't returned yet, but it should be within these two days.

The Frost Sheep Leader quietly waited outside the Ice Vault door, feeling the powerful aura emanating from the Ice Lion King, and couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement! Their king is truly terrifying; such a breakthrough speed is unheard of, even when their spiritual energy hasn't yet waned, no Transcendent being is so fearsome!

"Meh~" (Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the breakthrough!) Upon seeing the Ice Lion King emerge, the Frost Sheep Leader sincerely congratulated him.

"Roar!" (Do well! The next Second‑Tier Divine Pill will be yours!)

Chen Mo skillfully drew a big promise, then had Little Black Panther Luna inform all the appointed leaders.

He prepared to give a lesson on "technique", wanting to test the effect of the upgraded Teaching Lion.

Since only Lord Realm beasts can release techniques, the leaders Chen Mo summoned this time are all appointed leaders.

20 minutes later.

Snow Fox Mountain Lion Heart Palace.

The "Lion Heart Palace" is the newly built and also the first school in the Great Snow Mountain Secret Realm.

Because in Chen Mo's plan, the upcoming role of "teacher" is mainly undertaken by the Step Snow Fox Clan, so the first school is built on the mountainside of Snow Fox Mountain.

Upon hearing that the Ice Lion King would transmit the "Method," all the appointed leaders immediately set out and came to the Lion Heart Palace.

When these leaders arrived, they found the Ice Lion King already there.

Thus they, like students, obediently stood or squatted on the snow, respectfully looking toward the Ice Lion King ahead.

"Today I will teach you a simplest method, Profound Ice Claw."

After the supernatural leaders had mostly gathered, Chen Mo began to expound the method.

"The release of the method is like writing characters, requiring ultimate control of spiritual power."

"Profound Ice Claw consists of three characters; I will first demonstrate it for everyone."

"When outlining the first character, pay attention to the connection of spiritual power at the turn and maintain its stability."

Chen Mo elaborated his insights on Profound Ice Claw one by one; under the blessing of Teach Lion+, the supernatural leaders below listened, entranced, gaining much understanding.

"Everyone, give it a try first!"

After giving a complete explanation, Chen Mo spoke.

The many supernatural leaders below were eager to try, and they began to mobilize spiritual power and attempt it.
