"A sixth-grade fire-attribute Crimson Flame Eagle?"

Wang Zheng quickly searched for relevant information in his database.

"That's right!"

Wang Zheng continued to ask curiously, "Principal, is it true that only sixth-rank exotic beasts can become demon kings?"

I heard from Master Bai that exotic beasts can cultivate and improve their rank. Will they evolve into another type of exotic beast, or will they remain as special, higher-level individuals within the same species?

Chu Tianxing thought for a moment, then said according to his guess:

"It should be the special individual you mentioned."

Because no matter how their strength changes, a beast will not transform into another different beast. In other words, all types of beasts are independent and there is no so-called evolutionary chain.

However, among the demon kings I know, none of them were originally beasts below the sixth rank.

So far, all the demon kings we know of were originally sixth-grade beasts who, after years of accumulation and overcoming the tribulation of transformation, became demon kings.

The cultivation Master Bai mentioned probably refers to absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, relying solely on passive absorption is too slow. Considering the lifespan of a mythical beast, it's uncertain whether it will even live long enough to increase its strength.

However, if one engages in combat, eats people, or devours strange beasts, one is easily killed, making it extremely difficult to evolve from a low level upwards.

After hearing this, Wang Zheng understood some of the Demon King's secrets, nodded, and then stopped thinking about it.

So he turned his attention to the data panel in front of him and began to summarize what he had gained from today's battle.

The first thing to be affected is the maximum spiritual energy value.

Spiritual Energy Values: 4607/5321

Although only two Rank 6 Vajra Giant Apes were killed and the remaining Rank 5 Mighty Apes escaped, these two beasts alone increased Wang Zheng's maximum skill level by 4200 points.

He hadn't felt anything during the battle, but now that Wang Zheng had calmed down and was seeing this unexpected surprise, he even began to doubt whether his decision to go to Yunnan was the right one.

However, after much deliberation, Wang Zheng gave up the idea of ​​staying in Jingxiang to gain experience.

Although he suffered almost no damage in the battle against the giant ape, the process of killing it was by no means easy.

If it weren't for the final realization that the best way to fight this was to first injure the beasts and deplete their spiritual energy, then deliver the final, fatal blow...

Like the first giant ape, even if you give yourself a chance, you can control it until it dies and take it away directly, but it still takes too long.

Wang Zheng had already studied the beast's corpse; the giant ape's skin and muscles were far less resilient than they had appeared during their battle.

It can be said that the giant ape's high defense was due to spiritual energy, which is why it immediately became relaxed after they died.

Only now did he finally understand why Old Man Chu had said that even if the Demon King didn't fight back in front of him, he wouldn't be able to harm him.

The difference in spiritual energy between the two is too great. Although 99 points of strength is great, it is still difficult to deal with this sixth-grade Vajra Giant Ape, let alone the Demon King whose strength far exceeds that of it.

However, Wang Zheng was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was even more looking forward to the effects of the Transcendent Transformation after he had two or three hundred points of strength.

Furthermore, there is another reason why they did not stay in Jingxiang to kill the alien beasts. According to what Old Man Chu said, high-level alien beasts like these have a strong sense of territory.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the Mighty Apes was similar to that of these two Giant Apes, there might not have been any other high-level beasts within a radius of dozens of miles.

And that was indeed the case. The reason Wang Zheng dared to leave Ling Youjie behind during the battle was because he did not detect any particularly powerful auras among the beast horde he was secretly observing from the outside.

Therefore, all things considered, going to Yunnan is more cost-effective.

Otherwise, constantly searching for and killing strange beasts all over the mountains and plains is not a good idea.

Then Wang Zheng turned his attention to the two newly acquired spiritual crystals in his storage space, which shimmered with a metallic luster.

Based on Wang Zheng's experience with so many crystals, these two are clearly high-grade.

It has a bright color, a warm and smooth texture, and is full of vitality.

He suspected that the spiritual energy contained in these two spiritual crystals might actually exceed that of the previous Heavenly Demon Crystal.

It's not impossible that the spiritual energy gained might even exceed that obtained from killing the giant ape itself.

However, we'll only get the results once we've settled down and are absorbing the information.

As for the progress of his visualization, it only increased to 27% after killing two sixth-grade beasts. Wang Zheng himself was a little confused about how it was calculated and could only wait and see.

However, any improvement is good. It's always good that he has such a special shortcut. As long as he keeps killing monsters like this, he will eventually be able to reach 100%.

Finally, and that's the most important thing.

Because his five attributes had already reached 60, he encountered no obstacles when killing the alien beasts, and his spiritual energy value instantly exceeded the 5000-point mark.

So, when Wang Zheng looked at his data panel, under the fourth skill—Fierce Battle Roar—a new line of gray text appeared, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up a few more degrees.

It's getting more and more exciting!
