Chapter 32: Pidgeotto

Half an hour later.

"What is going on with this kid?" Feng Yu asked, feeling puzzled as he sensed the intense fluctuations of soul power emanating from Mo Hui.

Normally, when a spirit master absorbs their third spirit ring, such a situation never occurs. At most, there might be a minor fluctuation upon successfully absorbing the ring and breaking through to level 31, but nothing as violent as what this boy was displaying.

Feng Yu then glanced not far away at Bobo, who was standing guard for Mo Hui, and clicked his tongue in wonder: "Come to think of it, this kid's martial soul is truly unique. Even though it is a beast-type martial soul, it can detach from his body like an artifact-type martial soul, and it even seems to possess its own consciousness."

However, at that moment, Feng Yu did not notice that a faint white light was already beginning to emanate from Bobo's body.

A few moments later, the white light on Bobo became increasingly dazzling. This time, both Feng Yan and Feng Yu noticed the change.

"Brother, do you think something went wrong with this kid's martial soul?" Feng Yu muttered, watching Bobo, who was constantly flashing with white light.

Feng Yan, however, frowned slightly upon hearing this. He stared at the glowing Bobo and said, "It doesn't look like that. On the contrary, it looks more like..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a brilliant white light erupted from Bobo. Bathed in this radiance, Bobo's body grew larger, and the feathers on its head began to lengthen continuously.

In just a few moments, the transformation from Bobo to Pidgeotto was complete.

As Bobo evolved into Pidgeotto, Mo Hui, who had been absorbing the spirit ring, opened his eyes and stood up.

The next moment, three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—rose from beneath his feet, circling his body and moving up and down, confirming his status as a three-ring Spirit Elder.

After absorbing the Hurricane Bird, Mo Hui had finally become a level 31 Spirit Elder. There was no leap in levels this time; it simply increased his level 31 soul power capacity by about 30 percent.

It is worth mentioning that Mo Hui did not gain the storm or tornado abilities he had imagined from the Hurricane Bird's spirit ring. Instead, he obtained a support technique: Tailwind.

Tailwind is an area-of-effect buff. Under the influence of Tailwind, the speed of Mo Hui and Pidgeotto increases by 100%, and other allies gain a 50% speed increase. These effects improve as Mo Hui's spirit power level rises, making it a rather excellent buff-type spirit skill.

Suddenly, the trajectory of soul power circulation appeared in Mo Hui's mind. After clarifying the information, Mo Hui said with pleasant surprise: "This is... the Pidgeotto Meditation Method!"

Compared to the Bobo Meditation Method he had not yet improved, this Pidgeotto Meditation Method was twice as complex, and the efficiency of soul power cultivation had also doubled.

According to Mo Hui's estimation, this efficiency was already comparable to the meditation methods accompanying the high-level martial souls of those with innate level 7 spirit power.

The emergence of the Pidgeotto Meditation Method finally allowed Mo Hui's cultivation efficiency to truly catch up with the geniuses of Douluo Continent.

Although Mo Hui's cultivation speed appeared to be soaring—surpassing even many geniuses with innate full spirit power—this did not mean his cultivation efficiency was superior to theirs.

The reason Mo Hui's level increased so rapidly was that he had stacked numerous buffs upon himself.

Hurricane Canyon: +100% cultivation (continuous).
All-weather cultivation: +40% cultivation speed (he spent all his time meditating, except for eating and studying, and barely slept).
Spirit Ring Simulation Method: +30% cultivation speed (energy feedback from Bobo, increasing the upper limit of soul power).
Optimized Bobo Meditation Method: +30% cultivation speed (compared to the original version).

If other geniuses with innate full spirit power had stacked these same buffs, their spirit power would not have just reached level 30; they might already be pushing toward level 40.

Meanwhile, the brothers Feng Yan and Feng Yu watched the scene with their mouths agape, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Ma... martial soul evolution!" Feng Yu stammered.

"It is actually martial soul evolution. I never expected to witness such a scene in my lifetime," Feng Yan sighed after calming down.

Although all martial souls have the potential to evolve, in reality, aside from mutations that occur during the initial awakening, martial soul evolution during cultivation is almost impossible. Every instance of it is a major event that shakes the world of martial souls.

"Pidgey!"

At this moment, Pidgeotto flew to Mo Hui's side, its eyes filled with joy.

"Bobo—no, I should call you Pidgeotto now. Congratulations to you, and congratulations to myself. After so long, you have finally evolved," Mo Hui said, stroking Pidgeotto's head.

The evolved Pidgeotto was several times larger than it had been as a Bobo. Mo Hui was nearly 1.7 meters tall, and when Pidgeotto stretched its head, it could touch his chest, which showed just how large it had become.

"Pidgey!"

Pidgeotto enjoyed Mo Hui's petting, its eyes narrowing.

A moment later, Feng Yan stepped forward with curiosity and asked, "Mo Hui, how do you feel? Has anything changed after the martial soul evolution?"

"I feel that my martial soul has become stronger. The quality of my martial soul should now be at the level of a high-tier martial soul," Mo Hui replied while stroking Pidgeotto's head.

The quality of martial souls on Douluo Continent is generally divided from low to high into: waste martial souls, low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and top-tier martial souls.

Before the evolution, Bobo's quality was only considered a relatively ordinary mid-tier martial soul, barely reaching the threshold. After evolving into Pidgeotto, it was firmly a high-tier martial soul, and a standout one at that.

The improvement in martial soul quality also significantly increased Mo Hui's combat power. He even felt that even without the third spirit ring, the strength bonus brought by Pidgeotto alone would have been enough to defeat his former self.

"A high-tier martial soul? That's already quite impressive!" Feng Yan nodded upon hearing this. High-tier martial souls were already considered quite excellent on Douluo Continent, as very few people possessed top-tier ones.

Suddenly, Feng Yan asked with curiosity: "By the way, what is your third spirit skill?"

"That's right, student, what is your third spirit skill?" Feng Yu echoed, clearly very curious about the skill produced by the Hurricane Bird.

"My third spirit skill is called Tailwind. Its effect is to create a wind field. Within the range of the field, my own speed increases by 100%, and the speed of my allies increases by 50%," Mo Hui replied without hesitation.

There was no need to hide it. As long as he remained at the Kamikaze Academy, he would inevitably have to spar with other students; it was only a matter of time before his third spirit skill was revealed.

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing Mo Hui's description, Feng Yan and Feng Yu both gasped in shock.

A 100% increase to his own speed and a 50% increase to his allies' speed—it was truly worthy of a spirit skill provided by a Hurricane Bird; it was simply terrifying!
