Chapter 676: Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Yuan never expected after awakening the flood dragon bloodline and evolving into a pure flood dragon-species fey, Blackie’s intelligence would actually increase so significantly. Blackie might have fused with the Willpower Rune and become a Fantasy Breed, but it was still at Bronze X. When Lin Yuan had enhanced feys previously, he didn’t really have high expectations for dragon-species bloodline. Lin Yuan always believed that any fey could continue to evolve with its own bloodline and would still be able to emerge as a powerful species. From the looks of it now, there was indeed a reason why people would always favor feys with dragon-species bloodline. Previously, Lin Yuan was rather worried when Genius and Chimey weren’t in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. If there was any problem in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Blackie, the Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, and the Jasmine Lily wouldn’t be able to alert him of any danger. The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope might be intelligent enough to warn Lin Yuan about the situation within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, but Lin Yuan hadn’t formed a contract with the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope. Now that Blackie was intelligent, Lin Yuan felt that his previous worries were all redundant.. Red Thorn was now able to emulate the voice of a human and conduct a conversation by using those giant gill-shaped petals. However, it had a hard time trying to emulate those rarely used tones. It would require a very long time for Red Thorn to grasp that ability. But now, Blackie was already able to have a normal conversation, meaning Blackie’s intelligence was far superior to Red Thorn. 1 When Blackie heard Lin Yuan’s words, it spoke with a sullen and gentle voice while watching Lin Yuan’s drenched and dripping clothes. “Master, Blackie is wrong! “Blackie didn’t think that Master would become so much smaller, and that after evolving I would accidentally drag Master into the water.” After hearing Blackie’s words, Lin Yuan immediately felt he was thinking too much earlier. He stared speechlessly at Blackie, which was now over three meters in length and was floating nobly with golden dragon eyes. What kind of thought process would make Blackie say that I have become smaller!? Where am I smaller!? Could Blackie possess the legendary one-track mind? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Lin Yuan used Morbius’ True Data to check on Blackie’s attributes. [Fey Name]: Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon [Fey Species]: Horn Dragon species/Flood Dragon genus [Fey Grade]: Bronze (10/10) [Fey Type]: Water [Fey Quality]: Fantasy I Abilities: [Spirit Injection]: Restore a huge amount of spiritual power at once and restore the lost spiritual power over a period of time. Exclusive Skill: [Spirit Qi Imprint]: The spirit qi that is constantly released to the environment will be stored within the Spirit Qi Imprint instead. It can also drain a small amount of the spirit qi released from other dragon-species feys within the surrounding area that does not exceed the fey’s grade and inject it into the Spirit Qi Imprint. It will be branded on the contractor’s body, and the contractor can release spirit qi contained within the Spirit Qi Imprint. [Spirit Essence Explosion]: Gather the spiritual power into a single point and explode all the energy. The Spirit Essence Explosion can only be applied to places where there is contact with the Spirit Qi Imprint. After reading the information on True Data, Blackie was no longer the original Spirit-Drawing Ichthyosaur and had already evolved into the Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon. Lin Yuan was sharp enough and realized that Blackie’s only ability, Spirit Injection, had transformed due to the relation with Spirit Lock. Previously, Spirit Injection would restore a portion of spiritual power at once and would gradually restore a small amount of lost spiritual power. At present, Spirit Injection would restore a huge amount of spiritual power at once and no longer restore just a small amount of lost spiritual power over time. Previously, when Lin Yuan used Blackie’s ability, Spirit Injection, on the duel stage, the only thing truly useful was the replenishment of spiritual power during the activation. As for the small amount of spiritual power restored over time, it would only be useful during extended battles like the one during the Millstone Town incident. However, now that Blackie had become a true flood dragon-species fey, its ability, Spirit Injection, received a huge upgrade. Blackie was a Bronze/Fantasy fey now, so the upgrade in ability wouldn’t have a huge difference. However, as Blackie continued to progress in grade, the difference would become significant. Lin Yuan could feel the obvious difference now that Blackie had evolved into the Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon. It felt as though Blackie could control the spirit qi within the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Logically, Blackie had evolved from a Spirit-Siphon Goldfish and should be releasing huge amounts of spirit qi like other Spirit-Siphon Goldfish in the pool. However, due to Blackie’s exclusive skill, Spirit Qi Imprint, the huge amount of spirit qi released by Blackie wouldn’t be lost to the natural environment. Instead, it would be injected into Lin Yuan’s Spirit Qi Imprint. Lin Yuan directly felt that the speed of spirit qi accumulation within the Spirit Qi Imprint was now 30% faster. As for Blackie’s newly comprehended exclusive skill after upgrading into a Fantasy Breed, Lin Yuan wasn’t able to understand it at first glance. Blackie’s new exclusive skill, Spirit Essence Explosion, could only be used on targets that were in contact with Spirit Qi Imprint. Spirit Qi Imprint was branded onto Lin Yuan’s back, meaning that only Lin Yuan could use the new exclusive skill, Spirit Essence Explosion. As described by True Data, Spirit Essence Explosion would gather spiritual power into a single point and would explode the gathered spiritual power. The exact effects of the exclusive skill would only be clear after trying it. Lin Yuan immediately gave the command. “Blackie, use Spirit Essence Explosion!” Lin Yuan then raised his fist, and a small amount of spirit qi was gathered on his fist. He felt that the spiritual power was wrapping around his fist before constantly gathering on the tip of Lin Yuan’s fist. Lin Yuan raised his fist and walked in front of the workbench, and smashed down on the workbench. Due to the extremely small amount of spirit qi used, the consumption of spirit qi was less than what was required to enhance a fey from Normal to Elite. However, with Spirit Essence Explosion, just this small amount of spirit qi was enough to smash the workbench that was made with completely jade-textured willow wood. This workbench had actually been made with worthless wooden racks from the Xia Region’s fey store. Lin Yuan had kept them inside the Spirit Lock spatial zone as a memory. However, this memory had been turned into jade-textured powder with a gentle swing of his fist. Completely jade-textured wood, especially thick wood like willow wood, was extremely firm. Even with great strength, one would only be able to crack it or make a huge pit. But this was Lin Yuan’s first time seeing completely jade-textured being turned into powder. Lin Yuan understood why this situation would occur. It meant that when he smashed down the fist, the spirit qi gathered at the tip of his fist had penetrated into the interior of the workbench, stirring it from within and turning it into powder.
