"But..."
"At least it evolved!"
Bai Ye sighed. Although he felt this Daoist magic evolution was a bit of a rip-off, evolution was definitely a good thing. He could look forward to the next evolution. However, according to the pattern, the next tier of Daoist magic evolution would only be unlocked after both Earth and Water spells completed their first evolution.
As for the Spirit Gathering value...
Spirit Gathering (0/2000)
It had become two thousand!
The Spirit Gathering in the Spirit Gathering Plate would continuously increase. The evolution of the Five Spirit Spells would become increasingly difficult, but that was only natural. He couldn't rush it.
Bai Ye thought as he casually waved his hand, causing the light screen before him to disappear. He intended to explore further, but at that moment...
"Where did you come from? Why are you in the Jura Great Forest?"
A voice suddenly rang out from behind Bai Ye.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but turn his head. Immediately, a figure leaped out from the forest, soaring over Bai Ye's head before landing.
She was at least 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a black and purple women's suit, with long, lavender hair. A black obsidian-like horn adorned her forehead, and she had a beautiful face. Her stern expression exuded a cold, arrogant, and aloof aura. Then...
Bai Ye's gaze drifted to her chest. The fitted suit was almost bursting at the seams, and the expanse of white made Bai Ye feel dizzy.
"So big!"
Bai Ye blurted out involuntarily.
Almost instantly, a vein bulged on the woman's forehead, and she reached out to the side.
A massive broadsword instantly appeared in the woman's hand.
The broadsword was almost as tall as the woman, with a width spanning both her arms. The hilt was wrapped in a circle of white fur.
Holding the sword horizontally, the woman declared, "Rogue, die!"
The moment she spoke, the woman leaped forward and swung the sword down at Bai Ye.
Sensing the rushing wind, Bai Ye snapped back to reality and quickly leaped backward.
*BOOM!*
The massive broadsword struck the ground with a thunderous roar, shattering the earth.
Bai Ye wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. Judging by the position and angle of the sword strike, it had been aimed directly at his "little brother."
"I just looked a couple of times, and you hold such a grudge?"
Bai Ye grumbled, then suddenly reached out, opening his sword sheath. Seven Colors Rainbow flew out, slashing towards the woman.
*Clang, clang, clang!*
The woman was quite ferocious, wielding her greatsword and continuously sweeping it around, deflecting the seven flying swords.
But in that instant...
Bai Ye took out a talismans and waved it forward.
"Startling Thunder Flash!"
*RUMBLE!*
A peal of thunder suddenly erupted from the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning descending from above and striking the woman fiercely.
"Aargh!"
The woman cried out in pain and retreated backward, her body showing signs of charring, with electricity coursing through her.
"Huh?" Bai Ye blinked in surprise and then exclaimed, "Demon-attribute creature?"
The power of Startling Thunder Flash shouldn't have been this great, but Bai Ye found the attack to be much more effective than he had imagined. The reason was the effect of the Black Order uniform.
Demon Exorcism (When facing creatures with demonic attributes, all attacks are increased by 10%)
Could this woman be a creature with demonic attributes?
Bai Ye mused as he put on the Predator's bio-mask and began scanning.
Bio-scan initiated...
Bio-scan complete...

...
Bai Ye glanced at the scanned information. He had initially thought that with her suit, she might be a Chosen One, but it turned out she was a native.
Simultaneously...
While Bai Ye was scanning, Shiyuan had already charged forward again, swinging her sword at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked up and casually drew the Frost Sword.
*CLANG!*
A crisp clash of steel rang out.
Shiyuan's strength was 88. Bai Ye had lost his "Robust Physique" ability. However, Bai Ye's own prior strength attribute was 82, and with the Spirit Gathering from the Five Spirit Plate, he had gained another 5 points, bringing his strength to 87. So, they seemed evenly matched?
No, Bai Ye also had the 15-point reinforcement from the Black Order uniform.
Bai Ye's current strength attribute still exceeded one hundred!
After the clear ringing sound, Shiyuan's broadsword was instantly knocked aside, and she herself was sent flying by a single sword strike from Bai Ye.
Then...
"Seven-Colored Sword Qi!"
Seven-Colored Sword Qi (Generates seven-colored sword qi by agitating seven swords. Seven strikes per use, with a 10-second interval between each use.)
As Bai Ye formed a sword seal, the seven flying swords vibrated lightly, emitting a humming sound. They hung suspended in the air, and then...
Seven-colored sword qi suddenly appeared, blasting down towards Shiyuan.
*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!*
The ground continuously shattered, stones flew, dust filled the air, and the ground made "crackling" sounds as countless cracks appeared and spread outwards.
Then...
*BOOM!*
A massive roar sounded again. A section of the ground collapsed, sinking at least half a meter.
A moment later, as the dust settled.
Shiyuan stood in the large crater, her broadsword plunged into the ground for support, panting heavily.
Don't underestimate the effectiveness of the Black Order uniform against creatures with demonic attributes. While a 10% attack increase might not seem like much, this 10% additional damage was extra. If Shiyuan, as a member of the Oni tribe, truly had a demonic attribute, she would be countered by this additional 10% damage.
Therefore, in terms of physical attributes, Bai Ye had a slight edge, and in terms of offense, he could counter her.
Bai Ye didn't understand how he could lose.
However, she wasn't a Chosen One but a native. Bai Ye had no intention of killing her. Killing her wouldn't bring any benefits, and if she didn't drop a God Stone Fragment, it might even cause trouble.
With this thought, Bai Ye decisively adopted a "gentlemanly demeanor."
"I think this is a misunderstanding," Bai Ye said, spreading his hands. "I have no ill intentions, and we have no reason to fight..."
"Shut up!"
Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Shiyuan angrily interrupted him. Then, she forcefully pushed off the ground with her legs, leaped out of the dirt pit, and charged at Bai Ye again.
