Fang Chang glanced at his current stats, feeling a sense of satisfaction. After several years in this world, his strength had finally surpassed that of the Titan Giant Ape he once feared.
Of course, this was only in terms of raw stats. In actual combat, with the help of his numerous skills, he had likely already reached a level where he could challenge the Titan Giant Ape.
Below his stats, a series of notifications appeared. Earlier, under the dual pressure of the heavenly tribulation and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Fang Chang hadn't had the chance to read them. Now, he finally had the opportunity.
『Successfully evolved into a Netherworld Soul-Chasing Spider. Acquired the innate skill "Revival."』
Revival: When suffering fatal damage, this skill allows the user to revive once after death, fully restoring their state.
Cooldown: 30 days
Fang Chang had already guessed most of this skill's effects, but he wanted to check if there were any additional restrictions. A 30-day cooldown seemed long, but considering the skill's power, it was understandable.
Continuing to read...
『Innate skill "Devour" has been upgraded to "Super Devour." Devour efficiency increased. Gained the ability to devour human soul masters' martial souls.』
This... Fang Chang was overjoyed. The higher his soul power, the harder it became to improve. With the previous version of "Devour," consuming ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts had little effect. Only by devouring soul beasts close to the hundred-thousand-year level could he see significant progress.
But soul beasts of that level were rare across the entire Douluo Continent. Even if he scoured the entire land, it would be difficult to find enough to push his soul power to a million years.
If he resorted to devouring weaker soul beasts, it would take too much time, and by then, Tang San might have already become a god.
Now, with "Devour" upgraded, Fang Chang had more options. However, he wasn't sure how much the efficiency had improved or how devouring human soul masters' martial souls would work. These were things he would need to test later.
『Innate skill "Harden" has been upgraded to "Endurance." Removed usage limit. Duration increased.』
No wonder this skill hadn't entered cooldown earlier. "Harden" had saved Fang Chang countless times and remained one of his trump cards. The ability to double his defense for a short time was already overpowered, and when combined with other skills, it could temporarily surpass even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's defense.
However, the skill had its limitations—only usable once a day, with a duration of three minutes. Now, with the upgrade, Fang Chang's combat endurance would increase significantly.
『Innate skill "Shadow Clone" has been upgraded. Each clone now inherits the full attack power of the main body. Clones will only dissipate after taking three hits.』
This was a practical upgrade, addressing Fang Chang's lack of offensive power. Additionally, the increased durability of the clones would add more confusion for his enemies, making them more effective in battle.
『Innate skill "Domination" has been upgraded. Skill range expanded. Can now absorb a portion of the soul power from same-race soul beasts within the skill's range.』
Fang Chang could hardly contain his excitement. This was the true "Domination" he had envisioned! Previously, the skill only boosted the attributes of nearby same-race soul beasts, including himself, but the self-boost was minimal.
Now, with the upgrade, he could absorb a portion of their soul power, potentially multiplying his own soul power if he had enough powerful subordinates. Combined with the "Merge" skill, his strength could reach unimaginable levels.
The notifications ended here. Skills like "Telepathy" and "Blessing" hadn't been upgraded, but Fang Chang was already satisfied. Not only had he gained a powerful survival skill like "Revival," but his existing skills had also become more potent.
After reading the notifications, Fang Chang set off again. This time, he didn't return to the shipwreck immediately but instead activated "Stealth" and began patrolling the area, searching for any remaining members of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale clan.
He had two goals: first, to test the effects of the upgraded "Super Devour," and second, to eliminate any remaining Demonic Devil Whales. As a top-tier sea soul beast race, if any survived, they might eventually seek revenge against the Sea Spider clan.
Additionally, Fang Chang had promised Little Gold's two sisters that he would evolve them into Sea Emperor Spiders. However, he had been saving his evolution points for his own evolution. Now, with 87,650 points left, he was just short of what he needed to evolve both sisters. The remaining points could be obtained from the Deep Sea Demonic Whales.
With this in mind, Fang Chang activated "Hunting Instinct," targeting the Deep Sea Demonic Whales. Soon, the locations of the remaining eleven Deep Sea Demonic Whales appeared in his vision.
Six of them were currently engaged in battle with the Sea Spiders, while the other five had managed to escape, hiding in reefs or swimming far away. However, they couldn't escape Fang Chang's tracking.
Silently, Fang Chang approached a reef where the nearest Deep Sea Demonic Whale was hiding. The creature didn't notice him until it was too late, and Fang Chang devoured it in one bite. He then moved on to the next target.
The "Hunting Instinct" skill was perfect for this kind of clean-up operation. Fang Chang couldn't help but think how useful it would be if it could also target humans based on their surnames or bloodlines.
