The stars brought a little surprise to Wen Yu, as for Faceless, there wasn’t much to say.
After Faceless obtained a soul, its level increased, which resulted in the birth of new skills. However, Faceless’s foundation was not strong—it was not a divine beast species, and it hadn’t broken its limits yet. Even though it had gotten lucky this time and awakened an A-level skill, to Wen Yu, it still seemed useless.
So, Wen Yu replaced Faceless's skill with a divine transformation (SSS level, passive ability). It could only be said that it was better than nothing.
In fact, Faceless, as Wen Yu's absolute main spirit pet, wearing the divine transformation was undoubtedly a huge waste. Wen Yu rarely enhanced Faceless with divine transformation; most of the time, it relied on Faceless's perfect replication (race foundation level, active ability) to fight.
But who let Wen Yu have money? With the soul creation technique in hand, divine transformation could be created at will, used personally or sold. If his spirit pet lacked a skill, Wen Yu, who had a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, could not tolerate it.
On the other hand, Victor awakened another peculiar skill.
True and Illusion: Realm King (race foundation level, passive skill): The master of a realm, commanding all directions! (Precondition not met, unable to cast).
The key to the true and illusion series skills was that they couldn’t be cast...
The power of the true and illusion series skills didn’t require Wen Yu to elaborate; those who used them knew best. From True and Illusion: Nine Lives, to True and Illusion: Reality Shift, and then to the discarded True and Illusion: Hyper Regeneration, this series of skill chain combinations produced an exceedingly powerful chain reaction.
With the previous experiences of the true and illusion series skills, although the skill description of True and Illusion: Realm King was vague, the reality was that Wen Yu really didn’t lack a skill slot, and neither did Victor.
So the choice was obvious.
Even if True and Illusion: Realm King could not be cast now, Wen Yu had no intention of removing this skill.
Let it be; it might be a surprise after all.
...
Lolo, the sixth soul, as a tribal will entity, could not be enhanced by Wen Yu in any of its skills. Moreover, Lolo’s naturally awakened skills were of extremely high quality, and Wen Yu simply glanced at Lolo’s ninth skill.
However, that glance revealed a little surprise.
Fierce Ant Parasite (race foundation level, active skill): When any single ant race bites a life form, it can trigger the fierce ant parasitic effect. The specific effects are as follows.
1: Can choose to control the opponent's bodily actions. Note: The power difference between both parties must be within ten times.
2: Can completely bestow its own basic physical qualities to the opponent. Note: This choice ignores power differences.
First, the first point.
If an ant with 100 physical quality bites a demonic creature with 1000 physical quality, that demonic creature will immediately turn into an ally unit, controlled by the ant race under Lolo.
This characteristic was somewhat mediocre, as Wen Yu had a large army at his disposal and did not need to control more demonic creatures.
The key was in the second point.
Can completely bestow its own basic physical qualities to the opponent. Note: This choice ignores power differences.
This attribute was useful to Wen Yu.
Because Lolo's queen guards could combine ordinary ant races into super ants, and when Lolo fully integrated all the ant hordes, that strength would be something even Wen Yu couldn’t ignore.
Once Lolo bestowed this power onto Wen Yu's body, it would also be a considerable boost for him.
However, the so-called little surprise meant it could be optional.
Compared to being a healer, the uses of Lolo's ant army were clearly broader.
As for the seventh soul—Type One, Wen Yu still paid no attention.
This entity was currently buried in the Layered Battlefield, and Wen Yu would not easily focus on Type One's state—this was Wen Yu's confidence and ultimate trump card.
