Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Entering Fourth-Grade! 2 Minor Evolutions! 1 Major Evolution! Begin

Meanwhile, inside the Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor, several kilometers away from Chu Sheng.

Mu Linyuan was strung up at the manor’s main gate, a ghastly sight. In fact, if not for his status as Mu Xiong’s illegitimate son, anyone else would have suffered a far worse fate than just being hung up.

The Mu Clan had mobilized all its forces to search for the culprit who had ruined the manor. Most importantly, they had to retrieve the Void Escape Lotus as quickly as possible.

Why ’ruined’?

Because no one had imagined that someone could directly absorb Life Essence from a Spiritual Plant.

In Mu Xiong’s view, the person who had snuck into the manor hadn’t picked the Spiritual Plants, but had destroyed them… their goal was to target the Mu Family!

At this point, Mu Xiong could grit his teeth and accept all the other losses, but the Mu Family absolutely could not lose the Void Escape Lotus.

Inside the Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor.

Mu Xiong stood with several family Elders, waiting for news from the search party, his expression terrifyingly grim.

“Who in the world is it? Who dares to target our Mu Family like this!”

“The intruder might be a Cultivator who has comprehended the Spatial Realm!”

“The Spatial Realm?! One of the ten great special Realms! Not even one in ten million people can comprehend it, and cultivating such a Realm to Great Success, let alone the Perfection Realm, is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!”

An Elder exclaimed in shock!

The Mu Clan also had someone who had comprehended the Spatial Realm, but their current mastery was only at Minor Success.

The Mu Family had spent a fortune cultivating the Void Escape Lotus precisely to help that person’s Spatial Realm reach Great Success or even a higher level, all to facilitate their “smuggling plan” for the soon-to-open Ancient Sunken Star Vein.

Only the high-ranking Elders of the Mu Clan knew the full details of the plan. If it succeeded, the Mu Clan could have risen in a single stroke, surpassing the other Nine Great Clans to become the sole dominant power on Hong Kong Island!

But now, the theft of the Void Escape Lotus had ruined everything!

“Hmph. My Mu Clan has kept a low profile for the past decade. Who could be targeting us so viciously!”

“Heh, the only ones who would dare to move against us are probably the other Nine Great Clans.”

Mu Xiong shook his head.

“With the opening of the Ancient Sunken Star Vein so close, the other Nine Great Clans wouldn’t normally risk exposure by offending our Mu Family to this degree.”

“Unless… they were instigated by someone!”

“Who?!”

Mu Xiong slowly spoke, revealing his suspicion:

“Heh, who else could it be? The recently renowned Future Empress of Hong Kong Island, Lin Zhixia!”

“Hmph. For some reason, that woman has shown immense hostility toward our Mu Clan. Now, everyone on Hong Kong Island is secretly gossiping that our Mu Family has offended the Future Empress and is surely doomed!”

Hearing this, the expressions of the several Elders turned ugly as well.

No one wanted to offend a Future Empress, but the crucial point was, they didn’t even know how they had offended her.

An Elder thought for a moment before speaking:

“Lin Zhixia came from the Celestial Fire Province on the Continent. The only person in our family who has been there and is of a similar age is Mu Linyuan…”

As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward the manor’s main gate.

’So after all this, it was all because of Mu Linyuan?’

Mu Xiong gritted his teeth.

“Now is not the time to assign blame! The Void Escape Lotus must be recovered. There might still be time!”

With that, Mu Xiong waved his hand and personally set out.

In the end, he was still his biological son, and he owed a debt to the boy’s mother. Otherwise, he would have long since whipped Mu Linyuan to death!

…

News of the destruction of the Mu’s Spirit Plant Manor quickly reached the ears of all the major upper-class families.

Gu Yuexi, who happened to be at the Nangong Family’s estate, also heard the news.

’All the Spiritual Plants inexplicably withered, completely devoid of Spiritual Qi… how does that sound so much like something that stinky mosquito would do?’

’It must be him! Absolutely lawless… but I like it!’

’The Mu Family, is it? This is only the beginning! Stinky mosquito, you’d better protect yourself!’

…

While the Mu Family was frantically searching for the true culprit, Chu Sheng had already returned to Hong Kong Island University.

Inside the simulated rainforest of the Beast Taming Academy, many Contracted Beasts were overjoyed to see their “Big Bro” return.

Chu Sheng randomly chose one of them, preparing to absorb some Qi Blood Value. Then, he would officially advance to the Fourth-Grade Realm and, at the same time, initiate his full evolution!

[Ding! Host has absorbed 28 Qi Blood Value. Current Qi Blood Value: 9,978]

[Ding! Host has absorbed 31 Qi Blood Value. Current Qi Blood Value: 10,009]

His Qi Blood Value had officially surpassed ten thousand, meeting the condition to advance to the Fourth-Grade!

BOOM! The familiar sensation of surging Qi Blood instantly appeared. A majestic tide of Qi Blood, like a great river, rampaged through his body, refining everything: meridians, blood vessels, bones, spinal marrow, internal organs, and finally, the heart!

The blood within Chu Sheng’s body completely transformed into a faint golden color. Every single drop of Qi Blood seemed to contain immense power!

For a full hour, Chu Sheng felt as if his very level of existence had been elevated, a sensation of immense power completely under his control!

Chu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. He had now officially stepped into the Fourth-Grade Early Stage!

If before he could only fight a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage to a draw, now he was confident he could utterly crush one!

And if he used all his tricks, taking down a Fourth-Grade Late Stage wouldn’t be a problem either!

Within the same realm… invincible!

The leap from the Melting Furnace Third Transformation to the Middle-Grade Realm was only a minor realm, but the difference in power was just that massive!

…

In a secret cultivation chamber within the Nangong Family estate. A powerful surge of Qi Blood Power suddenly flooded into Gu Yuexi’s body! She snapped her eyes open, her gaze filled with utter shock.

’This is… Qi Blood feedback?’

’That mosquito advanced to Fourth-Grade?!’

’How could he be so fast!’

After the initial shock, Gu Yuexi seemed to grow accustomed to it. There was no helping it; that mosquito was just that absurd. ’He didn’t go suck some other family dry again, did he?’

There was no denying it; when it came to Qi Blood, Gu Yuexi had to admit she was falling a bit behind.

But when it came to Mental Power, she absolutely could not lose!

’Hmph, stinky mosquito, I hope you don’t cause any real trouble. In the end, I’ll be the one cleaning up your mess!’

Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth, calmed her mind, and then closed her eyes to continue her arduous cultivation!

…

Beast Taming Academy, inside the simulated rainforest.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Chu Sheng was quite excited.

However, it wasn’t over yet!

He had the New Roach Battle Treasure feign a dormant state, then ordered his Insect Race underlings to dig a small secret chamber underground. Then, he shed the Little New Roach Battle Treasure and flew into the underground chamber.

[Ding! Reminder! The host has met the conditions for the sixth evolution. Begin evolution?]

’Evolve!’

[Ding! Reaching Great Success in any Realm allows for one minor evolution in a specific direction.]

[The host has achieved the Great Success Realm in both the Spatial Realm and the Fire Realm. Two corresponding specific evolutions will be initiated. Confirm?]

’Hm? A specific directional evolution? I almost forgot about that!’

’Two Realms at Great Success means two specific evolutions? Not bad, not bad at all!’

“Confirm!”

[This evolution will consume 2,000 Evolution Points and will take three days (72 hours) to complete.]

[Evolution… commencing.]
