Chapter 72: Mind Manipulation
The earth spike had the same level of magic power as the blast flame ability. It carried not just a piercing physical attack but also extremely powerful earth-attributed magic power. Following the violent impact on the giant slime, the whole core part crumbled instantly, turning into dust-like particles that were scattered one after the other. Finally, a huge ball of energy emerged and was fully absorbed by Jiang Xiaowen.
Xiao Yu was feeling quite depressed. He struggled hard for a long time but didn’t inflict the slightest damage to the red slime; hence, he didn’t receive one bit of the monster’s essence of energy, which Jiang Xiaowen was now being showered with. Then, as expected, after the girl absorbed all the energy of the giant slime, she immediately advanced to the first order.
Two minutes later, when the light cocoon cracked, Jiang Xiaowen appeared. Her whole body was shrouded in a faint halo; her skin was crystal clear, with a charming luster radiating off her skin; her facial features seemed to be more refined than before, and the butterfly wings on her back were two points larger. Moreover, the wings, which were as thin as a cicada’s, were now translucent, with many luminous lines running through them, looking like an exquisite handicraft—so beautiful that they were dazzling.
Her appearance became more refined than before, and there was a subtle charm hanging between her brows, but her charm was very pure and natural.
Jiang Xiaowen spread her wings, flew up lightly, transformed into a purple shadow before shuttling back and forth twice in the air, and then landed gracefully, slowly descending down in front of Xiao Yu like a goddess of war, a look of joy plastered on her face. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she jumped up excitedly. Xiao Yu felt a gust of fragrant breeze coming towards him, embracing him warmly.
“Great, I finally advanced! Thank you, thank you!” Jiang Xiaowen’s delicate body trembled slightly, then she raised her blushing face to look at Xiao Yu and took two steps back in embarrassment, “Sorry, I… I was just so happy, that’s why.”
Xiao Yu shook his head, then asked the most crucial question, “Did your innate skill evolve?”
Jiang Xiaowen suddenly remembered and exclaimed, “Yes, the new innate skill I’ve acquired is… mind manipulation!”
Xiao Yu’s expression changed drastically; he almost thought he heard wrongly, “What did you say?”
