"Such rich elemental energy!"
Commander Cheng Liujin opened his mouth in awe as he looked around, reaching out to touch the glowing points akin to fireflies, expressing his genuine feelings.
This elemental energy wasn't suitable for him to absorb, but that didn't prevent him from sensing the purity and abundance of the energy within. What surprised him even more was that this energy was stable and gentle, surrounding him like air; if he didn’t pay attention, it seemed to be nonexistent.
Wait!
Commander Cheng Liujin felt again and noticed that although he couldn't absorb this energy, it seemed to activate other energies around him.
Active energy is beneficial for cosmic life to perceive, absorb, and utilize.
In just a short time, the energy within the cabin seemed to be boiling, easily captured.
If he could frequently cultivate in such an environment, it would surely greatly aid in his progress.
Ye Zhongming grabbed the little creature that was intent on filling the cabin with star elements, kneading and rubbing it with both hands, then adopting a contemplative expression, followed by a series of exploratory strokes.
The little spirit instinctively tightened its body a bit.
Although it still wasn't a physical entity, it had a tactile sensation—soft and springy, yet vigorous.
Despite the nice feel, Ye Zhongming's brow furrowed.
If it were a complete energy form, Ye Zhongming had a slight hope that they could ignore those space-time storms. But now, it seemed impossible.
Overall, it was a joyous occasion that the little creature had evolved into a mature form without a dormant period.
Ye Zhongming was a bit impatient to start checking the little creature's abilities.
The evolution level of the Earth Spirit was somewhat higher; this little creature had already possessed ten abilities before reaching maturity, which deepened Ye Zhongming's anticipation even further.
Previously, the Star Spirit had energies including—radiant ground, unobstructed space, glutton, Brilliant Star, starlight vision, leaves falling on sand, orbital star formation, and inner star circle.
Now, the little creature had added four abilities.
Borrow Star, starflower lotus seat, falling stars, and endless star path.
Borrow Star was an ability used by Ye Zhongming, in which he, as the owner of the elemental spirit, could borrow the two stars in the little creature’s possession into his own hands, allowing him to unleash energy three times.
The first was Star Ray. It consumed energy from both the Star Spirit and Ye Zhongming, firing a ray of star power to inflict damage on the target. The power of the Star Ray remained consistent within its range, which was fixed at two hundred and thirty-two meters.
The second was Star Mark Bomb. When needed, he could place an unavoidable star mark on the target. During the duration of the mark, the target would suffer a twenty percent increase in damage from attacks, and the hit rate for skills would increase by ten percent.
Once the duration of the star mark exceeded one hundred seconds, the user could cause the mark to explode, inflicting unavoidable damage on the target, with the damage level proportional to the energy used when activating the star mark.
The maximum duration of the star mark was three hundred seconds; during the last one hundred seconds, if the time did not increase by twenty seconds, the explosion’s power would increase by ten percent.
The third was Star Shock. When using a star body to directly attack the target, it could increase the user’s damage by twenty percent and inflict knockback and stiffness on the target, with the distance of knockback and the duration of stiffness proportional to the user’s swing strength.
This encompassed all the functions of the Borrow Star ability.
It had long-range attacks, negative statuses, buffs, and direct damage—all of which highlighted the capability of this ability to aid Ye Zhongming during battles. Especially when not using weapons or in close combat, this ability would grant Ye Zhongming an unparalleled advantage.
