Chapter 804: From Bicycle to Motorcycle (First update, requesting everything)

Between the choices of Xier Yasna and the Spirit-Devouring Rat, Li Zhangsheng undoubtedly leaned more toward the Spirit-Devouring Rat.

As both were Temporary Spirit Pets, although Xier Yasna had reached the Demon King level and her combat power far exceeded that of the Spirit-Devouring Rat, logically, one should have chosen Xier Yasna.

However, if one were to speak of merit, including many official Demon Pets, most could not compare to the Spirit-Devouring Rat; after all, the Spirit-Devouring Rat had utilized its special abilities to truly achieve several great feats.

Besides this, if the Spirit-Devouring Rat successfully evolved, there was a significant possibility of it advancing to the Demon King level. Once that time truly arrived, Li Zhangsheng believed its combat power would be even more formidable than Xier Yasna's.

Of course, everything remained an unknown.

In terms of probability, an extremely low probability is around ten percent, a low probability is between twenty and thirty percent, a relatively high probability is between thirty and fifty percent, a high probability is between fifty and seventy percent, and an extremely high probability goes without saying.

The Vermilion Fruit can, with a relatively high probability, raise a Demon Pet's Bloodline by one grade, meaning its success rate lies between thirty and fifty percent.

The reason there is no precise value is mainly because Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures like the Vermilion Fruit are too rare, and not many people have used them; even if someone doing statistical analysis went "door-to-door" to ask, they could only derive an approximate value.

It is not just the Vermilion Fruit; for any treasure that is rare in quantity, an accurate value cannot be determined.

"The possibility of metamorphosis is still not high enough, then I will add this!"

Li Zhangsheng, feeling quite pained, took out a Jade Bottle. After pulling out the wooden stopper on the bottle, a shocking, exotic fragrance rushed toward his face.

Inside the Jade Bottle was stored an Alchemical Pill the size of a Longyan; this was the top-tier special Alchemical Pill obtained from Liu Zongtang—the Universe Creation Pill!

If one were to give the Universe Creation Pill and a Bloodline Metamorphosis-type treasure to a Demon Pet to consume together, it could significantly increase that Demon Pet's probability of metamorphosis.

Universe Creation Pill + Vermilion Fruit; the Spirit-Devouring Rat is estimated to have a guaranteed probability of over eighty percent. Unless its luck is too poor, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's evolution can be said to be a certainty.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng shook his Monster Pet Bag and released the Spirit-Devouring Rat.

As soon as the Spirit-Devouring Rat came out, its nose couldn't help but twitch a few times, subconsciously focusing its gaze on the Vermilion Fruit and the Universe Creation Pill, which held an indescribable temptation for it.

"Spirit-Devouring Rat, you have really worked hard during this time; this is your reward!"

Li Zhangsheng solemnly handed over the two exceptionally precious treasures. If this failed, the loss would be huge.

The Spirit-Devouring Rat stood on its hind legs and bowed to Li Zhangsheng with its hands cupped.

Its eyes were exceptionally excited, and it made squeaking sounds from its mouth, expressing its gratitude and devotion to Li Zhangsheng in its own unique way.

Li Zhangsheng patted the Spirit-Devouring Rat's head, signaling that it need not be so formal.

The Spirit-Devouring Rat picked up the Vermilion Fruit, finished it in a few bites, and then swallowed the Universe Creation Pill.

The Vermilion Fruit had no shell, which forced Li Zhangsheng to give up the idea of cultivating it.

Within the span of two or three breaths, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's expression changed abruptly. It felt a massive surge of Special Energy melting from its stomach into its Bloodline. Its entire body's blood began to flow rapidly, spreading throughout its body, and a feeling of unbearable soreness and itchiness came from all over, which was exceptionally uncomfortable.

In an instant, the Spirit-Devouring Rat was enveloped in earth-yellow radiance.

Under the transformation of the Special Energy, the concentration of the Spirit-Devouring Rat's Bloodline was rapidly climbing. During this process, its internal organs, flesh, and bones were being remodeled and reorganized.

Crack—crack—crack—

As the sound of bones shattering rang out continuously, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's physique began to change. Unlike ordinary Demon Pets, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's size did not grow larger; instead, it became smaller and smaller.

At the same time, its aura was also climbing rapidly.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng specifically set up several Restrictions, which naturally included the Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction.

Besides this, eight Demon Beast-level Demon Pets stood guard over the Spirit-Devouring Rat in unison; if anyone dared to approach, they would inevitably face their thunderous strike.

While waiting, a quarter of an hour passed quickly. The Spirit-Devouring Rat's physical changes finally stabilized, and its body length was now less than half a meter.

Seeing the changes in the Spirit-Devouring Rat, the worry on Li Zhangsheng's face finally faded, replaced by a brilliant smile.

Although he could not release his Mental Power here, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's changes already indicated that it had successfully completed its evolution, because its current appearance was almost exactly the same as Dou Yuanbin's Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, only its aura was somewhat inferior. It was just unclear whether the Spirit-Devouring Rat's quality had risen.

As the first top-grade Temporary Spirit Pet in Li Zhangsheng's hands, the Spirit-Devouring Rat had a significant possibility of increasing its quality.

After successfully evolving, the Spirit-Devouring Rat did not wake up immediately. Relying on the power generated by the evolution, as well as the residual energy from the Vermilion Fruit and the Universe Creation Pill, the Spirit-Devouring Rat wanted to use this to break through the threshold of the Mystery and become a Demon Beast-level Demon Pet.

The Spirit-Devouring Rat had attempted a breakthrough not long ago; logically, it would need a period of rest before trying to break through again, but due to the evolution, the Spirit-Devouring Rat had fully recovered and would not be affected in any way.

Not long after, wisps of earth-yellow Profound Mystery Energy suddenly emerged from the Spirit-Devouring Rat's body. Under the remodeling of this Profound Mystery Energy, the Spirit-Devouring Rat's physique began to change once more, becoming even more petite.

This earth-yellow Profound Mystery Energy suddenly condensed, swirling rapidly around the Spirit-Devouring Rat, and finally formed a thin earth-yellow film.

This was the Mystery Guard, though it was not yet a complete form.

Li Zhangsheng revealed a smile; this indicated that the Spirit-Devouring Rat had successfully broken through the threshold of the Mystery, which was why some Profound Mystery Energy had leaked out.

As time passed, the Profound Mystery Energy on the Spirit-Devouring Rat's body surface became increasingly Rich. Clearly, it was still continuously expanding its results, wanting to smash through the entire threshold of the Mystery in one go to avoid becoming a Pseudo-Demon King-level Demon Pet.

After five minutes, Li Zhangsheng's ears twitched; he faintly heard a shattering sound coming from within the Spirit-Devouring Rat's body.

It was also at this moment that the Spirit-Devouring Rat's aura surged violently, and a large amount of Profound Mystery Energy erupted from its body surface, causing the originally weak Mystery Guard to begin to thicken until it reached a critical point and finally stopped.

The Spirit-Devouring Rat opened its eyes, revealing an excited expression. At this moment, it felt its whole body filled with explosive power, which was completely incomparable to before.

However, the Spirit-Devouring Rat knew very well who had brought it this change, which filled its heart with gratitude toward Li Zhangsheng, and it began to express its gratitude in its own way.

After spending some intimate time with the Spirit-Devouring Rat, Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to check its data.
