I have a set of monster experience cards

Hearing the elder say this, You Huan stopped where he was and did not move.

He became more and more convinced that Huanhai had some unique duel rules, which even emphasized "stopping at the right time".

However, the result of this "pointing" is somewhat tragic.

He extended his further evolved tentacles and randomly stuffed the internal organs that had leaked out of his body back into his body.

On the opposite side, the man with the spiked head was also in a mess and covered in blood.

You Huan's tentacles created a large number of wounds on his body surface, some of which could have been life-threatening if the elders had not stopped them.

On the surface, it seems that the two sides are evenly matched.

But after a careful inspection, the elder said to the spiked head: [Your injuries are more likely to cause death. You lose.]

In terms of the destructiveness of a single round of attack, You Huan could not match the Spiky Head even after perfecting his tentacles.

But if the fight continues, the Spiky Head's body will be unable to withstand the pressure and he will die first.

The onlookers waved their tentacles and cheered, truly creating a good atmosphere.

"..."

Facing the elder's verdict, the spike-headed man was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at You Huan.

It said heavily: [Come again next time! ]

Well, it seems that it is still not convinced.

You Huan sent a mental message of agreement.

Even though the spike-head was targeting him, he was happy to join in the fun.

On the one hand, it is because such an outstanding opponent can help him make up for his own shortcomings, and even use him as a whetstone to quickly complete a stage of evolution like today.

On the other hand, dueling with your companions can also count towards the first collection mission:
[Collection Mission 13: Win 20 battles with your own advantages (/). [Reward: Monster Element Competition]]

Every hunt and fight, as long as he contributes enough, can be counted towards the mission.

Naturally it will be the same this time.

The spiked head turned around and walked away. The elder's tentacles that tried to keep it stayed in the air. After thinking for a while, it turned to You Huan, and its body continuously emitted signals of joy and satisfaction.

It said: [You are young, but you are talented in duels and evolve quickly. Perhaps one day in the future, you will be able to go to the "Universal Sea Court" and participate in the "Battle of the Summit."]

The elder suddenly threw out two terms that You Huan had never heard of before.

You Huan used his tentacles to cover the wounds on his body to prevent his internal organs from falling out, and asked: [What are the battles in the sea court and the summit? ]

He had a premonition that from this moment on, he had finally come into contact with some content related to the core of the universe.

The elder did not hide anything and explained to him:

[The Universal Sea Court is the central land, the ultimate continent, where the Ancestral Beasts’ stone tablet is located and where the Ancestral Beasts discuss major issues.

That is the place in this world where the most powerful and ferocious creatures exist, where evolution is at its best, and where new ancestral beasts are born.

Battle of the Peak - Landing on the Universal Sea Court, challenge the peak of the Central Ridge, until entering the Universal Holy Peak and being crowned as the Ancestral Beast. 】

In the universe, the status of "ancestor beast" is equivalent to [truth] and [true spirit].

But You Huan had never heard of the precise division of realms in this world. All life only knew how to evolve, evolve, and evolve again.

The comparison of strength only appears when distinguishing between hunters and prey.

Therefore, the title of ancestor beast may have nothing to do with realm, but only with competition and fighting.

Just as the elders explained about the “Battle to the Summit”, one must constantly challenge oneself and become stronger until all obstacles are cleared and one enters the “Holy Peak of the Universe”. Once one’s strength is recognized, one can be crowned.

Unexpectedly, there is a "super continent" called Huanshi Haiting in Huanhai, and it is also a place where powerful people gather...

The creatures in the universe, at least the ones he had seen, were almost all no different from wild beasts.

But no matter how barbaric it is, Huanhai still needs a certain degree of organization to manage internal and external world affairs.

It seems that this organization is in the Huanshi Haiting.

You Huan asked: [Where exactly is Huanshi Haiting? ]

The elder raised all his tentacles and pointed them in one direction.

Due north.

[The Huanshi Sea Court is right in the center of the world. We are in the southern seas, excellent hunter. If you want to challenge the name of the ancestor beast, just go north.

Cross the cold current, cross the red heat, until you see the boundless land, you will reach the holy land of this world. 】

[I understand. Thank you, Elder.] You Huan looked towards the north, deep in thought.

The sea area where he is now should be located in the southern frigid zone of the world.

If he wanted to go to the Universal Sea Court, he would have to go all the way north, crossing the temperate and tropical zones before he could get there.

It sounds like a long journey, not to mention that there will be all kinds of unknown and unpredictable difficulties and obstacles along the way.

Creatures that can reach the Universal Sea Court are naturally the best on the road of evolution.

After You Huan finished looking, he looked away and found that the elder was still beside him.

"?" He sent out a signal of doubt.

[…You are very talented, whether in terms of evolution speed, quality, or spiritual level.] The elder said after a moment of silence, [If you continue to live, you cannot stay here.]

[……] You Huan heard a hint of sadness and said nothing.

The elder paused and invited him: [I can teach you some of my skills. Are you willing to learn from me? ]

Facing the elder's proposal, You Huan barely thought about it: [Yes.]

The reason why the elder is respected as the elder is naturally because he possesses abilities, wisdom, experience, and a level of evolution that are difficult for other members of the herd to achieve.

If he could learn one or two unique skills from the elders, he would certainly be more than happy!

The elder moved his tentacles with satisfaction, slowly climbing up the slowly healing shell, as if sensing the level of this "new apprentice".

After a while, it said: [You have some ideas about the nervous system, but they are not perfect yet. Come with me.]

You Huan followed the elder and went deeper along the narrow trench until they reached the end of the trench.

The skulls of the enemies were piled up on both sides in an almost arched shape, and seaweed hung down, obscuring the darkness inside the cave at the end of the trench.

This isolated cave is the elder’s lair.

After dragging You Huan, who was much smaller than himself, into the nest, the elder went out again.

After a while, You Huan was idly observing the environment in the cave when the elder came back dragging some dead creatures.

"Snapped!"

Two huge broad-finned fish heads were revealed to have been thrown on the ground, and their gray eyes stared at him with their eyes wide open.

Furthermore - there are actually some bodies of comrades who died in the defense battle...?
You Huan stared at the limp and mutilated bodies of his companions in the herd. The elder said, "Eat all of them. Enemies have special brains that will be useful for the following teaching... Companions, swallow them and let their lives merge with yours."

This is Huanhai’s special “funeral”.

Even if it is a companion or even a relative, after death, one should devour its body, so that the wonder of its evolution and the meaning of its life will never fade in the flow of energy in the internal organs and the cycle of life and death of cells.

"..."

You Huan was silent for a while and did not refuse.

Soon, the evolution point prompt came:

[Evolution Points +5]

[Evolution Points +3]

【…】

The brains of two broad-finned fish, plus a bunch of companions, provide a total of 25 evolution points.

The bulk of the brains come from broadfin fish - the brains of these fish, as actual observations have shown, are indeed exceptionally delicious and contain a considerable number of evolutionary points.

Adding the 15 points obtained from the improvement of the tentacles just now, there are a total of 40 evolution points.

Level progress reached: [Lv.4 (46/80)]

After You Huan finished eating, the elder continued: [Nerves, spirit, how to expand and build, control and split tentacles, these things, I will teach you at the spiritual level, I hope you can achieve at least half of my results.]

After saying that, dense and soft tentacles appeared like a witch's hair, covering the sky, sweeping across the cave, and rushing towards You Huan!

His own tentacles seemed to have heard the call and suddenly exploded, dancing in the water.

When the tentacles of both parties lightly touched, You Huan's perception instantly entered another level. (End of this chapter)
