Chapter 71 Evolution
The smell of grass and ice mixed together and spread around the area. The sound of birds and people's footsteps echoed from a far distance. Han Li's senses were enhanced to their peak as he meditated under the roof of his empty old home.
It had already started to fill up with cobwebs and spiders but he didn't care about that at the moment.
Fwoosh~
A red Spark lit up above his palm, the size of 5 baby fists. And his Soul Sense covered a 5-meter diameter around himself. In the covered area, he could see everything to it's minor details. From the small wings of an ant to its mandibles — it was clear to the T.
He could even hear its grinding sound.
Just like that, Han Li spent around an hour of time calmly meditating, he was like a stone statue, totally unmoving. Nobody outside could ever have thought someone was attempting to Evolve inside a normal-looking small house.
Who would even try Evolving in a day other than the days of Energy Abundance? When the Awakening Ceremony was not ongoing?
That would have been the thoughts of the normal men of this world, but Han Li didn't care. For he knew those were just a ceremony, it didn't matter in the success or failure of the process after all.
He breathed out the icy air inside his chest and his red spark started to rise up. It first detached from his skin and floated an inch above his palm. Immediately, his senses expanded to twice the amount it was. From 5 meters in diameter to 10 meters.
In seconds, the Spark would vanish since it had no connection right after transforming into that Spirit Like form, usually, Clan Heads would have helped at this moment by moving the Evolving man's body towards the Spark, but he had no help like that.
No matter how dizzy his body was, he made his body move by sheer will and swallowed the Spark. Immediately after, he toppled and slid on the ground as his consciousness shook on the verge of falling unconscious.
"Grr...." He growled weakly but he could feel his soul shaking, it felt as if a mosquito was buzzing by his ears before his red gaze brightened for a second and then dimmed as he slipped unconscious. His body sweating profusely.
Inside his body, unlike an ordinary human body was an Awakened Empty Space. It was dark inside it like the abyssal stomach of the deep oceans. But suddenly, a red spark in the shape of a human body appeared inside it.
It had the gait of a doll. Seemingly dead. But as it floated there, it started to absorb all the energy inside the Empty Space and the Body outside it. For the Spark, it didn't care whether the energy was Soul Energy or any other kind, it absorbed everything and started to transform further.
The Spark first gained a crimson glint in it as all of Han Li's soul merged into it. Then, its aura started to spread throughout the Empty Space and the 5-meter diameter started to expand. Slowly, the space became 10 meters in diameter with the only source of light being the Spark in itself.
But the process was far from over. The Spark's eyes lost their glint as Han Li drifted away into dreams. And as that happened, a red swirl appeared in the ethereal form of the Spark.
The Spark had Evolved. It was no longer a mere Spark but something much stronger. Something that was a source of power and change.
It had evolved into a Minor Dao Soul. The Minor Dao Soul of Lust.
But Han Li couldn't yet explore the changes inside himself, he was somewhere else.
