"Ding! You killed a tiger-level creature with a combat power of more than 70 points and obtained 1,000 dark points!"
"Your body has reached its limit. Would you like to use 1,000 dark points to strengthen it?"
Xia Mu was breathing heavily and half-knelt on the ground with the Kitetsu sword in his hand.
His clothes were torn into pieces, revealing his red skin, which was steaming with heat.
The whole person looked like a cooked duck, with white mist constantly emitting from his whole body.
The previous attack exhausted all of Xia Mu's energy, and now there is really not a drop left.
Mikiri is the second skill of Kitetsu. When Natsuki solved the alien mother body, the dark energy absorbed by Kitetsu exceeded 200 units, which automatically triggered the unlocking conditions.
The effect of its skill is that after injecting the user's energy into the Kitetsu Sword, there is a 100% probability of blocking an attack.
It is also a skill without CD, but like the first skill Blink, it also has a great effect.
Before being activated, the Ghost Sword will consume a certain amount of the user's mental energy.
After activation, Mikiri can block an attack with a 100% probability, but if facing an attack that exceeds the user's strength, it will forcibly absorb the user's essence to meet the conditions for Mikiri to activate.
In other words, the greater the gap in strength between the user and the enemy, the higher the cost required for Mikiri to be successfully activated.
The tentacle monster's combat power was as high as 70 points. The angry attack just now had exceeded Xia Mu's physical limit.
So even if Mikiri was triggered successfully and the tentacle monster was blown away by the sword, Xia Mu's energy was basically all absorbed by the Kidō Sword, making him extremely weak.
If it weren't for his physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people, he would probably have fainted after launching the Mikiri technique.
In mid-air, dark green blood mixed with the tentacle monster's flesh kept falling down, hitting the ground with a disgusting "smacking" sound.
Then, a ball of milky white flesh as big as a ping-pong ball fell in front of Xia Mu. After bouncing a few times on the ground, it stopped right at his feet.
A faint aroma of meat suddenly hit my nose.
Xia Mu resisted the urge to swallow it in one gulp and picked up the white ball with difficulty.
Suddenly, a feeling of hunger came from the novice's hiding space.
It was another evil spirit pet egg. The little greedy cat felt the scent of white spores and suddenly woke up from his sleep.
At the same time, the system's prompt sound also reached Xia Mu's mind.
"Host, please stay awake and don't be carried away by temptation."
This was the first time the Nine-Dimensional Technology System had proactively sounded a warning. Although its main body was in the infantry vehicle, it was somehow able to establish a connection with Xia Mu.
Even after getting the system for so long, it has never actively contacted Xia Mu.
"Why?"
Xia Mu was a little surprised.
He was indeed almost tempted by the meaty aroma of the white spores and swallowed them in one gulp.
But can't white spores improve human physical fitness and even awaken many super powers?
Logically speaking, even if it doesn't do any good to Xia Mu, it shouldn't do any harm either.
"Host, you have just initiated the second phase of the 'Superhero Transformation Plan' and have chosen the Ultra Instinct development path of the Saiyan Son Goku from the 665th dimension."
"This route has been tested many times and is confirmed to be the most perfect plan for becoming stronger. If the host takes other substances that change body functions, the plan will change unpredictably."
"By then, even I cannot guarantee that I can evolve the host to its strongest state."
After hearing the system's explanation, Xia Mu suddenly understood.
Before unlocking the second stage of the transformation plan, he could not exchange dark points for physical fitness, so he thought about using white spores to improve his strength.
But fortunately, there was no chance in the end.
If he really eats the white spores, no one knows what changes will happen to his body.
It’s really hard to say whether you can still choose the development path of Ultra Instinct at that time.
"So that's how it is. In that case, won't I ever be able to devour the white spores?"
White spores are a magical thing that can greatly enhance the strength of living things. If the white spores cannot be eaten, it will be a big loss for Xia Mu.
"Not really," the system's voice remained as cold as ever. "According to the data from the Nine-Dimensional Space, the scientific name of the white spores is Merkel's Aphidella alba."
"This creature is unique to the dark dimension and is capable of catalyzing the production of optimized mutations in all multicellular organisms into magical spore colonies."
"Before being invaded by the Dark Lord, the saviors of the 77th dimension had researched white spores to perfection."
"According to their classification, white spores can be roughly divided into five categories."
"First, elemental. These white spores are extremely rare and can generally only be bred from the brains of creatures with a combat power of 100 or above. After consuming these spores, a creature will awaken an elemental ability from one of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Second, cell-strengthening abilities. These white spores are quite common, and all dark creatures have a chance of harboring them in their brains. After ingestion, they can significantly improve physical fitness, and upon awakening, they generally possess abilities related to physical strengthening."
"Third, the healing type. These white spores are also very common. After ingestion, they can awaken the creature's special abilities, such as healing the body or restoring the spirit."
"Fourth, psychic abilities. These white spores are relatively rare. Although all dark creatures can be bred, the probability of their occurrence is extremely low. After taking them, the user will awaken special mental abilities, such as creating illusions, telekinesis, and so on."
"Five, domain-type. These spores are extremely rare and can only be bred from the brains of dark creatures with a combat power of 500 or more. After ingesting them, the user will awaken the special ability to create a certain domain."
"Different types of spores have different effects on different types of users. For example, if a creature that has awakened an elemental ability wants to become even stronger, in addition to developing its own abilities, it must also seek out as many elemental spores as possible to enhance its abilities."
Xia Mu was completely stunned after hearing the system's explanation.
He had never expected that the white spores, which looked similar, would have so many unique features.
"So what type of spores should I take to increase my strength?"
"Host, at the peak of Ultra Instinct, one can become an omniscient and omnipotent god. A single finger can pierce mountains and rivers, a single palm can destroy the universe. With a single thought, one can even briefly glimpse the future."
"Precisely because it is comprehensive and powerful, in order to avoid interfering with the strengthening path, these five types of white spore hosts cannot be eaten."
"What the hell!?"
Xia Mu was stunned.
"But in addition to these five types of white spores, there is also a special type of white spore. These can only be hatched by specific creatures in each dimension and are highly unique."
"These white spores are called 'chosen spores'."
"The only spores suitable for the host are these versatile 'chosen spores'."
