Chapter 26: The Li Dynasty (2)
Inside the Spirit Vein Hall stood rows of Spirit Veins that the Li Clan had harvested from demonic beasts over generations. The more exceptional one's talent, the stronger the resonance they could provoke. The greater the number of resonances, the higher the chance of obtaining a truly precious Spirit Vein.
Su Chen closed his eyes and focused his senses. Dozens of blue lights flickered past in an instant. He sighed inwardly at the sheer depth of the Li Clan's reserves. If he wanted, he could reach out and claim a top-grade blue-quality Spirit Vein without effort. But in this life, with his current aptitude, how could he settle for merely fusing with a blue-quality one?
Unhurried, Su Chen patiently searched. Soon, a strand of purple light appeared before him. Delight surged through him. It was a purple-quality Spirit Vein, stripped from a demonic beast called the Thousand-Armed Spider.
Such creatures had nearly vanished from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom and were extremely rare. The beast was covered in countless dense arms and could spit out steel-tough spider silk laced with deadly poison. If he fused with it, he would become an enhanced version of Spider-Man.
Su Chen did not choose it immediately. He had no desire to turn into a venomous old monster. Suppressing his impatience, he continued searching. Before long, another purple-quality Spirit Vein emerged.
Lava Berserk Ape.
This demonic beast had molten rock flowing through its veins, its fur blazing like liquid fire. Another exceedingly rare species, long extinct in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom. Fusion would grant immense physical strength, the ability to manipulate flames, and strong resistance to fire. The drawback was obvious: the fusion would make one's temper explosively volatile. But that minor flaw could be overlooked.
Su Chen spotted several more purple-quality Spirit Veins, each from incredibly rare demonic beasts.
"It seems my aptitude still isn't enough to draw out the legendary golden-quality Spirit Vein."
