212: Koi King Evolves, Gyarados!
Not long after the strange sea fish left, a sturdy figure covered in golden scales flew up from beneath the sea.
"Trying to run? Can you outrun me?"
Seeing the strange sea fish's actions, Mo Hui smiled slightly.
At this moment, Mo Hui's body was as robust as a muscular man, with golden scales covering his arms and chest like armor, his blue eyes shimmering with crystalline light, and the sunlight shining on the golden crown atop his head added a few touches of majesty to him.
If Mo Hui had a Sea God Trident in his hand, he would undoubtedly look like a Sea King.
The next moment, Mo Hui threw a punch in the direction of the strange sea fish, and an ocean current channel appeared before him.
With the aid of the ocean current channel, Mo Hui easily caught up to the strange sea fish that had fled earlier, and lightly pointed his finger at it.
In an instant, a highly compressed spiral water current shot out from Mo Hui's finger, instantly piercing through the strange sea fish a thousand meters away.
"Ugh!!!"
The strange sea fish let out a scream, blood gushing from its body, dyeing the surrounding sea red.
Several more spiral water currents passed through the strange sea fish's body, and the strange sea fish immediately lost its responsiveness, after which a pitch-black spirit ring appeared above its body.
Immediately after, Mo Hui came before the strange sea fish's body, and with a wave of his right hand, the pitch-black spirit ring was placed onto the Koi King Spirit.
"After absorbing this eighty-thousand-year spirit ring, the Koi King Spirit should be able to evolve into Gyarados."
Looking at the Koi King Spirit, whose scales had all turned golden, Mo Hui couldn't help but murmur.
At this moment, the Koi King Spirit already had four spirit rings, and with the one Mo Hui had just hunted, that made five spirit rings.
Of course, except for the first and second spirit rings, all the spirit rings Mo Hui acquired afterward were only eighty or ninety thousand years old, which was already the limit, as the number of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts was not large.
Soon, Mo Hui sat cross-legged in the water, closing his eyes, and began to refine the Koi King's fifth spirit ring.
While refining, dazzling blue-white light began to emanate from Mo Hui's body, and enveloped by this blue-white light, Mo Hui's body also began to change.
An hour later, Mo Hui completely refined this spirit ring and opened his eyes.
"As expected, the Koi King did evolve."
Mo Hui couldn't help but smile as he felt the surging power contained within his body.
Originally, Gyarados, having received the legacy of the Wind God and Sea God, was already of a quality not inferior to ordinary top-tier Spirits. Now, after evolving into the Gyarados Spirit and activating the power left by the Wind God, it had advanced further, directly reaching the level of an Ultimate Spirit.
The current Gyarados not only possesses a near-ultimate wind attribute but also an ultimate-level water attribute, its quality infinitely approaching the level of a Divine Spirit.
For the Gyarados Spirit, this increase in strength was undoubtedly immense. Even if Mo Hui only used the Gyarados Spirit now, his strength would not be below that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, and could even rival a level ninety-five Sea Dragon Douluo.
Just as Mo Hui was marveling at the strength of the Gyarados Spirit, the Gyarados Spirit within him began to stir.
"Roar!"
The next moment, the Gyarados Spirit's eyes flashed, and it directly pounced on Pidgeot, who was resting on the other side.
"This is bad."
This unexpected scene immediately made Mo Hui inwardly exclaim that something was amiss.
The dividing barrier left by the Wind God was set up to prevent one Spirit from devouring the other if the quality difference between his Koi King and Pidgeot Spirits was too great.
As the Koi King Spirit gradually grew stronger, this barrier left by the Wind God also slowly weakened, and after the Koi King evolved into Gyarados, this barrier was almost nonexistent.
The current Gyarados Spirit was not only not weaker than Pidgeot, but in terms of quality alone, it was even superior to Pidgeot.
Gyarados is notoriously short-tempered, and without the restraint of the barrier, it would naturally want to compete with Pidgeot for dominance.
Just as Mo Hui was about to use his spirit power to mediate, what happened next was beyond Mo Hui's expectation.
Facing Gyarados's attack, Pidgeot spat out a cyan pearl, and with the help of the cyan pearl, instantly transformed into Mega Pidgeot, then attacked Gyarados.
Within a few rounds, the originally confident Gyarados Spirit was beaten black and blue, and scurried back to its original place, no longer competing with Pidgeot for the boss position.
Afterward, Pidgeot merely gently preened its feathers with its beak, and did not look in Gyarados's direction again.
This scene made Mo Hui somewhat exasperated. This Gyarados was truly like his predecessor, the Sea God Spirit; when the weather cleared and the rain stopped, it felt capable again.
However, this also gave Mo Hui a new understanding of the Pidgeot Spirit's strength. As Mo Hui's cultivation level increased, Pidgeot's strength also grew stronger and stronger. Now, even without the enhancement of the seventh spirit ring, with the aid of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, it could temporarily transform into Mega Pidgeot.
"Eh~ Wait, this is!"
Suddenly, Mo Hui's heart stirred, and he swam to the surface of the sea, saying, "Come out, Pidgeot!"
The next moment, a flash of cyan light, and Pidgeot appeared before Mo Hui.
"Hahahahaha~~~ I finally succeeded."
Looking at Pidgeot appearing before him, while he himself did not forcibly exit the Gyarados form, Mo Hui couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.
Perhaps it was due to the battle between the two Spirits just now, or the strengthening of the Gyarados Spirit, but in any case, he now seemed to be able to summon both Spirits simultaneously for a short period without affecting each other.
Subsequently, Mo Hui began to calculate the duration of this state: one second, two seconds, three seconds...
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
It wasn't until five minutes had passed that the Gyarados possession state on Mo Hui's body gradually disappeared, replaced by Pidgeot's cyan light.
"Five minutes? If this time doesn't decrease with combat, then this duration should be enough."
Mo Hui flew onto Pidgeot while stroking his chin in thought.
Five minutes is neither long nor short, but in general, it should be enough for a battle.
Most importantly, if this time is not affected by combat, Mo Hui can use it to begin researching his Self-Spirit Fusion Skill.
Once the research is successful, it will undoubtedly become another trump card for Mo Hui.
Immediately after, Mo Hui looked at the time and said, "It's about time. The Seven Sacred Pillars should be ready. As for whether combat will affect the duration of this dual-Spirit form, I'll try that when I get back."
