Chapter 1459: Covet

This ability that once greatly impressed Wen Yu is the Balu Monster’s main body’s… hmm, let’s call it an innate skill.

Once upon a time, Wen Yu used this skill to farm points for himself, but for the current Wen Yu, points are no longer of great significance.

He simply observed the energy flow and energy utilization efficiency within the Balu Monster’s main body, comprehending a certain “ultimate truth” contained within, while also glancing towards the Balu Monster’s second skill.

Ultimate Energy Affinity (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill): The host is naturally endowed with an energy-affinite constitution, achieving nearly one hundred percent efficiency in energy absorption, conversion, and utilization. With this skill, each of the host’s attacks (including, but not limited to, physical attacks, energy attacks) can reach the theoretical maximum value, and it doubles the effect of any enhancement-type abilities.

A Species-specific Esoteric Level passive skill, Wen Yu’s favorite type of skill!

The aspect of achieving theoretical maximum attack power doesn’t significantly impact Wen Yu—he once studied the mechanics of physical attacks and the energy dissipation characteristics of energy attacks. Even if Wen Yu himself couldn’t fully maximize his power output, it wasn’t far off.

The amplification this feature can bring to Wen Yu is negligible; the key is the effect of doubling enhancement-type abilities.

This effect practically boosts Wen Yu’s power to a bug-like level!

Currently, Wen Yu possesses a total of three major enhancement-type abilities.

The first is the floating bonuses brought by Ultra Mortal Combat and passive skills.

The second is the base bonuses provided by the Dream becomes Reality Skill System.

The third is the fundamental bonuses acquired at the last moment when all clones completely merge, leveraging Same Phase Fusion.

The multiplication of these three bonuses constitutes Wen Yu’s peak state, and the Ultimate Energy Affinity skill can double each of these three bonuses! This means Wen Yu’s peak combat power is directly increased eightfold!

Even without using Same Phase Fusion, that’s a fourfold increase.

Indeed, just this capability alone was enough to make Wen Yu have a few thoughts about the Balu Monster’s main body—after all, few could double, then redouble Wen Yu’s absolute power…

“Uncle! Uncle! Are you okay?”

Perhaps Wen Yu’s dazed state lasted a bit too long, so the young Guer couldn’t help but speak up. At this moment, Wen Yu finally closed his Night Eyes and looked at Guer.

“It’s nothing, just my first time seeing such a spectacular growth scene.”

“Spectacular, right? This is the Balu Monster, the pride of our race!”

The young Guer’s words were full of confidence in the Balu Monster. After speaking, he rummaged through his space ring again, extracting another pile of bottles and jars, scattering them on the bacteria blanket. A moment later, when the Balu Monster had grown to the length of Wen Yu’s forearm, its third upgrade promptly occurred.

Perfect Energy Transformation (Species-specific Esoteric Level, Passive Skill) (Fission Reproduction ability derived from) (Ultimate Energy Affinity ability derived from): The host can completely convert any excess energy consumed into its own physique.

In simple terms, this represents an eerily formidable limit-breaking ability—a creature that can become stronger just by eating. This ability is similar to the Great Feast, but given the Balu Monster’s characteristics, the pure limit-breaking effect of Perfect Energy Transformation is likely far superior!

Not only can it provide Wen Yu with unimaginable enhancement, but it also has a strong limit-breaking ability that ensures the growth of its own strength.

Of course, this point is more or less moot, since the strategic value of the Balu Monster’s main body far exceeds its own combat power…

At this moment, Wen Yu’s innermost decision was already made.

Turning an enemy into a friend?

Wen Yu was exceptionally good at that.

…

The young Guer continued fiddling with his space ring. With medicinal potions being extracted one by one and scattered on the bacteria blanket, the Balu Monster’s aura fluctuations continued to strengthen. However, after a few hours, the Balu Monster still failed to upgrade.

Seeing this, the young Guer wasn’t too concerned; he merely mechanically repeated the feeding process. It wasn’t until the Balu Monster’s main body’s physique exceeded ten thousand points that Guer finally stopped.

“That’s enough; you can’t feed it too much the first time.”

Wen Yu chuckled at these words.

A third-level entity with ten thousand physique points. Although due to Perfect Energy Transformation, Guer didn’t expend too many medicinal potions, the resource consumption was still considerable—without the insider’s assistance, who knows how long it would take for the young Guer to feed the Balu Monster to this stage.

“So, do we leave it here?”

Hearing Wen Yu’s words, the young Guer shrugged lightly.

“What else can we do? Don’t worry, the Balu Monster is very well-behaved…”

…

The two left the underground through an elevator, taking a stroll around the construction site. Then, both returned to their respective rooms.

By nightfall, Wen Yu’s tent abruptly opened. A gust of wind swept by, and in the next second, Wen Yu’s figure appeared at the deepest part of the pit.

“Ribbit ribbit…”

A sound akin to a frog’s croak echoed from nearby. Seeing this, Wen Yu immediately looked towards the Balu Monster’s bacteria blanket.

The Balu Monster’s main body, approximately forearm-length, extended its tongue as it fixated its gaze on Wen Yu.

Soul Power spread out instantaneously, securely sealing the area. After completing this, Wen Yu walked over to the Balu Monster, bent down, lowered his head to look at it, and then extended his hand to gently stroke the Balu Monster’s slick skin.

A strong premonitory sense of danger caused the Balu Monster to instinctively withdraw its head, but when it sensed no malice from the person in front, it eventually relaxed and gently licked Wen Yu’s fingers.

Respect and reverence for powerful experts are deeply engraved in the bones of every creature. The often intimidating Balu Monster appeared as docile and lovable as a devoted pet in Wen Yu’s presence.

Seeing this, Wen Yu’s lips curled up into a grin.

“Lucky for you that I’ve taken a liking to you.”

Having said that, Creation Energy surged from Wen Yu’s palm.

…

Vast Creation Energy flooded into the Balu Monster’s body, swiftly coalescing and blending to form a small solid ball.

This little ball nestled silently in the Balu Monster’s esophagus, seemingly unnoticed, like an organic structure naturally grown.

Wen Yu’s action didn’t affect the Balu Monster in any way. It simply croaked twice and tilted its head, expressing a trace of puzzlement. Wen Yu only smiled without offering further explanation.

As a gentle breeze blew, Wen Yu’s figure vanished once more, as if nothing had ever happened.
