The sudden appearance of the Three-Tailed caught Feng Qi completely off guard.
He had assumed that after the Three-Tailed transformed into a miracle item and was absorbed by him, it had vanished completely.
Yet here it was, restored to its original form.
When he immersed his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness, he found the purple token still floating above the crimson-gold pearl, unchanged.
This realization brought him to a crucial understanding.
The Three-Tailed before him wasn't a manifestation of the miracle item itself, but rather its vessel.
The token was the true entity, while the Three-Tailed served as a Consciousness Body for the miracle token's consciousness.
However, one question remained unanswered.
The Three-Tailed possessed abilities like mental counterattack and agile movement, none of which seemed related to the Miracle Evolution ability.
If I'm correct, the Three-Tailed is merely an energy body created by the miracle token after its consciousness awakened. The abilities you mentioned were acquired through self-learning during its growth, unrelated to its core capabilities.
The Narrator's explanation brought clarity.
Just then, Lin Ran suddenly attacked from the side.
Tendrils of mist swiftly coiled around the Three-Tailed's hind legs, hoisting it upside down into the air.
This time, the Three-Tailed didn't struggle, instead gazing at him with a pitiful expression.
"A'Ran, let it down. It won't run away."
Hearing this, Lin Ran looked puzzled but still released the Three-Tailed.
Upon landing, the Three-Tailed first flicked its tail haughtily, then trotted to his feet and nuzzled his calf affectionately.
This little one sure knows how to adapt! Its attitude changed so quickly after realizing the situation. But don't be fooled by its act.
He scooped the Three-Tailed into his arms and gently stroked its head.
"Chirp!"
The Three-Tailed let out a crisp, clear chirp.
Now that he knew the Three-Tailed was a body crafted for him by Miracle Evolution, he remained utterly clueless about how to use this miracle item.
With this thought, his consciousness once again plunged into the sea of consciousness.
Hovering above the crimson-gold bead, he reached out with his consciousness to touch the purple token again.
This time, the contact triggered a completely different reaction.
The Three-Tailed Fox, which he had been holding, transformed into a surge of purple energy that flowed into his body. It reappeared beside the purple token, letting out a soft cry toward his Consciousness Body.
Seeing the Three-Tailed Fox manifest in his sea of consciousness, he immediately understood how to use this miracle item.
The status panel description for Miracle Evolution stated that talent points could only be obtained by devouring innate abilities.
What he didn't understand was how the purple token could devour innate abilities.
But seeing the Three-Tailed Fox appear, he formed a rough guess.
With this in mind, he beckoned to the Three-Tailed Fox, which immediately bounded toward him.
Next, he carried the Three-Tailed Fox to the other talent ability orbs orbiting the crimson-gold bead.
After a moment's thought, he reached for what he considered the most useless innate ability: "Boiling."
This pale red orb detached from its fixed orbit upon contact with his Consciousness Body.
He then held the pale red orb near the Three-Tailed Fox's mouth.
Seeming to understand his intention, the Three-Tailed Fox shook its head resolutely, its expression turning pitiful.
"Eat it, or I'll erase your consciousness!"
If he hadn't encountered the Three-Tailed in a previous timeline, he would have been completely fooled by its current act.
The true Three-Tailed was arrogant and domineering, always carrying an air of "What can you do to me?"
This pitiful facade struck him as utterly fake.
Under his coercion, the Three-Tailed reluctantly swallowed the pale red "boiling" bead, its face twisted in a grimace.
Immediately, the Three-Tailed's body began to glow, flickering between bright and dim.
After a brief wait, the Three-Tailed suddenly opened its mouth and spat out twelve small golden beads in quick succession.
With a wave of his hand, the golden beads flew to the center of his palm.
He then summoned his status panel.
As he had predicted, the prefix title "boiling" associated with his newly acquired innate ability had vanished.
The twelve golden beads hovering above his palm were clearly the "talent points" described in the description.
As for how to use these talent points, he had a rough idea and decided to experiment.
With this thought, he drifted toward the rotating talent orb.
He already knew which innate ability he wanted to enhance.
Among his current innate abilities, his three favorites were Blood Source, Malevolence, and Purple Soul.
Blood Source was obtained after killing the Goat-Headed Demon enshrined within the statue.
Malevolence was the telekinesis he gained after slaying the Scarlet Eye.
Purple Soul was a partial magic immunity acquired after defeating Stone Mountain.
Each of these abilities had proven immensely helpful and held vast potential.
As for which of the three he favored most, the answer was undoubtedly Blood Source.
This innate ability granted him the ability to challenge opponents far beyond his current level, allowing him to defeat numerous powerful domain creatures.
With this in mind, he picked up a golden talent bead and pushed it toward the Blood Source Talent Orb.
The moment the golden bead touched the crimson orb, it fused into it.
Golden mist began swirling around the surface of the crimson orb, lingering for about ten seconds before dissipating.
Immediately, the status panel automatically popped up.
[ Blood Source (Undevelopable Innate Ability) ]:
[ Ability Description ]: Condenses a blood core within the heart, significantly enhancing its operational efficiency. This ability can also be activated to instantly drain the blood core's energy, granting a burst of power that dramatically increases combat prowess. The ability's effectiveness scales with the user's Qi and Blood Power. (In Battle Body Form, the blood core transforms into scarlet markings etched onto the skeletal surface.)
[ Origin Evolution ]: 2.8%
After devouring a golden talent bead, a new "Origin Evolution" percentage appeared in the Blood Source's status panel.
Without hesitation, he fused the remaining eleven golden talent beads into the Blood Source, one by one.
Each golden talent bead increased the Blood Source's Origin Evolution percentage by 2.8%.
After digesting all twelve golden talent beads, the Origin Evolution reached 33.6%, still far from complete evolution.
His gaze then shifted to the other talent ability orbs orbiting the crimson-gold bead.
The innate talent he considered useless wasn't just "Boiling."
Before reaching the orbital ring, he immediately grabbed the Sluggish, Countershock, and Surge talent orbs, then beckoned to Three-Tailed.
Three-Tailed reluctantly floated over to him.
He first fed Sluggish to Three-Tailed.
This time, Three-Tailed only spat out three small golden beads, indicating that this ability's strength tier was even lower than "Boiling."
He wasn't surprised by this.
He considered the innate ability "Boiling" useless simply because it was similar to his blood source but far less effective. Compared to the blood source, it seemed utterly pointless.
Next, he fed Countershock to Three-Tailed, who spat out six golden beads this time.
Finally, he fed Surge, which converted into four golden beads.
After decomposing the three innate abilities, he had only obtained thirteen golden beads.
This greatly surprised him.
He hadn't expected that the talent points gained from decomposing "Boiling" would be comparable to those from three other innate abilities combined.
He then sequentially fused the thirteen golden beads into his blood source.
This time, the blood source's origin evolution rate had reached 70%.
However, to complete the evolution, he still needed 11 more talent beads.
His gaze swept over the various talent ability orbs, and their corresponding attributes flashed through his mind.
After a moment of hesitation, he selected the "Bone Vein" talent orb.
He had once been quite fond of this ability, which allowed him to manipulate his bones, extracting and reshaping them into weapons.
But since completing his bloodline advancement and gaining the ability to switch between his human body and Battle Body Form, this ability had become obsolete.
Compared to disassembling his bones to create weapons, the raw, visceral simplicity of hand-to-hand combat was far more efficient.
He extended the white "Bone Vein" talent orb toward Three-Tailed.
Seeing this, Three-Tailed reluctantly raised his small head, looking exactly like a child about to receive a shot.
After swallowing the "Bone Vein" innate ability, Three-Tailed's body began to glow.
After a moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a series of golden talent beads.
This time, he produced a full 23 beads before stopping.
With a wave of his hand, he gathered the golden beads before him, separating eleven of them and merging them into the Blood Origin Talent Orb.
This time, the Blood Origin's origin evolution rate reached 100.8%.
The Blood Source Talent Orb began to tremble.
As he waited, a faint green vein materialized on the orb's surface.
