Chapter 972: The Metamorphosis of Datou (Second update, requesting all)

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng poured in a portion of Active Potion, preparing to activate the Bloodline Imprint that was like a pool of stagnant water.

The next moment, the Active Potion began to take effect; the viscous Spirit Essence seemed to boil, emitting a large number of bubbles from within and drifting out wisps of black gas.

In Li Zhangsheng's field of vision, the originally dead-silent Bloodline Imprint began to gradually regain vitality.

However, once the medicinal effect of the Active Potion wore off, only a small portion of the Bloodline Imprint had become active, while the majority remained in a state of dormancy.

Clearly, one portion of Bloodline Potion was far from enough.

Fortunately, the materials for the Active Potion were not difficult for the current Li Zhangsheng to collect and refine; he still had more than ten portions of Active Potion on hand, and even if he used them all up, he could instruct the Dai Kingdom Imperial Family to collect materials for him.

Li Zhangsheng successively added five portions of Active Potion; not until the fifth portion was added did the viscous Spirit Essence finally stop emitting black gas, and all the Bloodline Imprints fully recovered their activity, not even inferior to their peak state.

As a price, the quantity of this Spirit Essence had decreased once more, leaving only about two jars' worth.

Since there was only one type of Bloodline Imprint, there was naturally no need to use a Dissolving Agent.

It was only at this moment that this Spirit Essence radiated a strong water-blue brilliance, and wisps of blood energy spontaneously organized themselves like smoke, eventually manifesting into the figure of a plump fish.

Kun Fish!

With just a single glance, Li Zhangsheng recognized it and instantly revealed a smile.

He had originally considered that this might be the eyeball of a World-Ending Serpent, Dagon, or a Kun Fish; after all, they were all known for their massive size and were all Water Attribute, fitting the characteristics of this eyeball.

However, it was unexpected that a single eyeball could refine two jars of Spirit Essence, though it was clear that the eyeball was one of the most essential parts of a Kun Fish, at the very least.

Li Zhangsheng did not overthink it; what lay before him now was that Datou could finally evolve.

These two jars of Kun Fish Spirit Essence, combined with his inventory from these past days, were enough to make up the required Kun Fish Spirit Essence for Datou's next evolution, with a little bit left over.

At this moment, the Kun Fish phantom transformed back into blood energy, burrowed into the Spirit Essence, and vanished.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out all the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Kun Fish Spirit Essence, instantly retrieved the Purple Pattern Luo Heaven Fruit, and summoned Datou, who was in its Golden-Eyed Great Peng form.

Chirp~

Datou let out a clear, loud cry and landed before Li Zhangsheng, its sharp eyes staring straight at the six jars of Spirit Essence placed before it; its throat moved, giving a sense of impatience.

If not for Li Zhangsheng having yet to give the order, it would have already swallowed them by instinct.

"Datou, drink it. I believe you will become even stronger!"

As Li Zhangsheng's words fell, Datou impatiently opened its Bird Beak, and a suction force was generated; the six jars of Spirit Essence, along with the Jade Ceramic Jar, flew up, one after another entering its mouth, and with a gulp, they all went into its stomach.

Li Zhangsheng was not afraid of Datou getting a stomachache; with Datou's digestive ability, let alone Jade Ceramic Jars, even refined iron could be easily digested.

Within the span of a few breaths, the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Kun Fish Spirit Essence began to merge into Datou's blood, causing the two types of bloodline imprints in its blood to surge violently.

Datou's expression changed, and it hurriedly sat on the ground, looking at a large tree in the backyard, feeling as if the blood throughout its body were boiling; while heat waves rolled off it, it also felt an unbearable sour itch, giving it a feeling of being in pain yet happy.

In an instant, Datou's entire body began to radiate cyan and blue light, shrouding a small half of the backyard.

Under the two-colored brilliance, Datou's body size swelled crazily as if it were a balloon being inflated.

At the same time, in Datou's Consciousness Sea, a Kunpeng phantom with a dull gaze appeared.

Without hesitation, Datou charged up frantically, wildly Bite-ing the Kunpeng phantom.

Soon, Datou completely Devour-ed the Kunpeng phantom and obtained the inheritance from the Kunpeng.

This evolution took a full half-hour, and the radiance on Datou's body surface finally vanished.

Compared to before the evolution, Datou's body size had more than doubled, with a body length of about sixty meters, and the key was that this was only in its Peng bird form.

Compared to the Kun Fish form, the body size of the Peng bird form was naturally much smaller.

Datou sensed Li Zhangsheng's thoughts, and brilliance immediately emerged on its body surface; its body size underwent a heaven-turning and earth-shattering change.

The sky-covering wings transformed into huge fish fins, the golden feathers vanished, the skin became exceptionally smooth, and its body size surged, transforming into a large-headed fish.

The Kun Fish was indeed worthy of being one of the largest Divine Beast species; even though Datou was not yet a true Kun Fish, its body size was still quite exaggerated, reaching a length of nearly one hundred meters directly—even the Saint Grade Spirit Pet dragon of the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong was not that long.

The key was that it was in the image of a fat-headed fish; not only was it extremely long, but its width was also exaggerated. In terms of weight alone, it was feared that it would take several Adai to equal it.

With such an exaggerated body size, it was a solid top-tier meat shield.

Li Zhangsheng suppressed his excitement and impatiently checked Datou's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Unknown (Growth Stage, Demi-God Beast, consumed Kui Water Essence, enhances the power of Water Element skills, weakens the speed of enemies hit by Water Element skills, comprehended Kui Water Divine Thunder. Comprehended Mystery, significantly enhances skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts some damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon King Tier 2

【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Sovereign

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic (Guaranteed to be able to break through to Demon King level, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to Demon Saint level)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Kunpeng (Vigorous, formed by the fusion of Kun Fish and Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodlines, can freely change between Kun Fish and Peng bird forms)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water + Wind

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None (Purple Pattern Luo Heaven Fruit eliminated attribute weaknesses)

With this evolution, Datou's abilities could be said to have been enhanced in all aspects.

Because the Kunpeng bloodline reached the Vigorous Grade, Datou's race leaped from Perfect Monarch to Perfect Sovereign, causing Datou's strength to multiply.

Besides this, Datou's quality also advanced a step further, becoming another Epic Demon Pet in Li Zhangsheng's hands, which also improved its abilities quite a bit; it was no wonder the Kun Fish form's body size was so large.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, the current Datou could definitely contend with ordinary Saint Grade Spirit Pets, and because it could freely switch between two forms, its strength was not at all inferior to Aixi, Kailan, or the Crowned Li-Fire Luan.

"Let's call it a Secondary Kunpeng!"

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and casually named Datou's post-evolution form; he had originally wanted to go with a weakened version, low-spec version, or thunderous version of Kunpeng, but ultimately felt they didn't sound very good, so he decided to name it Secondary Kunpeng.

Besides the changes on the panel, there was naturally the inheritance derived from the bloodline.
