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

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Super Insect Beast Construct, Myriad Forms Activated

’System, open the modification interface for [Insect Swarm Evolution]!’

Chu Sheng closed his eyes, selected 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms, and began the first step of the modification.

First, he needed to design special biological interfaces at the carapace joints of each Insect Beast, allowing them to connect tightly and share energy.

’System, load the basic universal interface module for these 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms!’

[Ding! Loading “Basic Universal Interface Module” for 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms. Estimated cost: 6,000 Life Essence. Confirm?]

’Confirm!’

Instantly, the 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms in the Insect Nest underwent a subtle change. Complex biological structures resembling precision gears and mortise-and-tenon joints began to grow at their joints, covered by a translucent film capable of conducting energy.

The initial interfaces were complete. Next came the more critical step: energy synchronization and consciousness integration.

’System, construct the “Primary Energy Coordination Network” and “Hive Consciousness Connector”!’

[Ding…]

[Ding…]

After a flurry of design operations, and with the help of the system’s heaven-defying 3D editing and modification capabilities, the initial modification of the 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms was finally complete.

Compared to the other Insect Beasts, their realm hadn’t grown stronger, but they had gained some specially designed functions.

Most importantly, they could now merge together at will according to Chu Sheng’s command, becoming a “Super Insect Beast.”

Well then, it was time to test the results.

Chu Sheng summoned the 2,000 specially modified Insect Beasts and began to command them with his mind.

’You… form the head!’

’You lot, form the arms!’

’You, this batch, form the thighs…’

’A few of you, form the… crotch… on second thought, what’s the use of that? It’d be nothing but a weak spot!’

’Scrap that! Form fangs instead!’

’Combine!’

Under Chu Sheng’s command, the 2,000 Insect Beasts quickly and perfectly connected, changing their form.

Soon, a creature resembling a cheetah, its entire body glowing with a dark, metallic luster, appeared before Chu Sheng.

It was impossible to tell that it was formed from two thousand Spirit-Devouring Worms; it looked more like a perfectly forged biological killing machine!

However, was that all?

Of course not!

Chu Sheng rubbed his hands together and commanded in his mind again:

’Transform!’

With a single thought, the “metal cheetah” before him instantly disassembled and reassembled. The countless Insect Beasts shifted like liquid metal, transforming in the blink of an eye into a heavy, solid giant turtle, with energy patterns flickering across its shell.

The turtle shell—Defense form!

’Keep changing…’

Under Chu Sheng’s mental control, the Super Insect Beast composite changed again. One moment it was a flock of black crows, the next a falcon, and then a massive, ink-colored serpent slithering underground…

That’s right!

This Super Insect Beast composite could change its form at will, thereby gaining the special abilities of each form.

Moreover, it wasn’t necessary to use all 2,000 to form a single entity. Two would work, as would two hundred.

Take the New Roach Battle Treasure, for example. Chu Sheng no longer needed to mold it himself. With a single thought, he could use about 20 special Insect Beasts to instantly form a new New Roach Battle Treasure.

However, despite its myriad forms, there were only 2,000 insects in total. Its maximum size was currently that of a cheetah; it couldn’t get any larger.

If he could modify all thirty thousand of his Insect Beasts into special ones in the future, then combining them into an Ultraman wouldn’t be a problem at all!

But!

Do you think it’s over?

The combined Super Insect Beast didn’t just have countless forms. More importantly, there was its overall strength!

The combination of 2,000 Insect Beasts gave the Super Insect Beast a total Qi Blood Value far exceeding that of the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage!

Even though each individual insect was only at the Fourth-Grade Middle Stage, the combined Super Insect Beast actually possessed a Qi Blood Value equivalent to the Fifth-Grade Late Stage.

Its Attack Power, Defense Power, and other stats were all vastly superior to 2,000 of them fighting individually!

So, let me ask!

If it were a Super Insect Beast formed from the combination of 30,000 Insect Beasts, what grade of Demon Beast would it be equivalent to?

What a pity!

He didn’t have enough Life Essence. Modifying 2,000 of them had already used up all his remaining Life Essence.

[Current Remaining Life Essence: 1,000]

’Can’t be helped. I’ll just have to deal with it later.’

With a thought from Chu Sheng, the Super Insect Beast instantly disassembled, reverting to 2,000 Spirit-Devouring Worms, and returned to the Nether Flame Insect Nest.

…

The Insect Beasts’ upgrades were complete. Next, it was his own turn.

Chu Sheng didn’t waste any time. He took out the seven prizes he had won in the academy grand competition, each from one of the seven great academies.

Elixir Academy:

An Earth-tier Upper-Grade Elixir, once again the kind that restores Mental Power—two Star Essence Soul-Stirring Pills. This elixir was impressive; not only could it remove negative spiritual effects, but it could also restore 10,000 Mental Power at once.

During the academy grand competition, Chu Sheng had given all three Concentration Earth Essence Pills to Gu Yuexi, and he had also taken a Soul-Clearing and Divine-Restoring Pill himself.

Currently, the only elixirs he had left were:

Two Star Essence Soul-Stirring Pills.

Two Soul-Clearing and Divine-Restoring Pills.

Beast Taming Academy:

Another drop of King-level Five Stars Essence Blood.

’This stuff is great! Not only is the amount of Qi Blood astounding, but it’s also highly likely to contain Realm Power. That old man Shepherd Mountain is pretty generous. He probably went all out.’

Chu Sheng didn’t waste any time and immediately began to absorb it…

[Ding! Detected King-level Five Stars Demon Beast Essence Blood. Absorbing Qi Blood… The Qi Blood contained in this Essence Blood far exceeds the host’s current tolerance. Excess Qi Blood Power will be used to transform the host’s constitution.]

[Ding! Host has absorbed 2,000 Qi Blood. Current Total Qi Blood: 40,300]

[Ding! Blood is being digested. Upon completion, an estimated 2,000 Evolution Points will be obtained.]

[Ding! A small amount of Gold Realm (Great Perfection Level) detected in the Demon Beast Essence Blood. Absorbing now. 1,800 points of Gold Realm Comprehension have been absorbed. Current Gold Realm Comprehension: 3,600/5,000]

[Gold Realm, Great Success!]

’Damn, the Gold Realm again!’

’Could this drop of Essence Blood be from the same Demon Beast as the last one?’

’Another Realm at Great Success means I can undergo another specific minor evolution!’

’Nice, very nice.’

’But there’s no rush. I’ll look at the rest of the prizes first.’

Just as Chu Sheng was about to open the next prize, the system suddenly dinged again.

[Ding! The host’s constitution has been strengthened several times, and tolerance has been greatly increased. Current absorbable Qi Blood increased to 5,000!]

Huh?

The extra ding brought a flicker of joy to Chu Sheng’s heart!

’Whoa, my tolerance finally increased! So it just needed to accumulate over time.’

His absorbable Qi Blood had increased to 5,000. This meant he could now absorb a maximum of 5,000 Qi Blood at once, instead of having to stop at 2,000 and wait for it to digest.

’Still great. The efficiency of absorbing Qi Blood has improved drastically!’

Onward!

Unfortunately, the next prizes from the Array Academy, Fengshui Academy, and Artifact Refining Academy were of little use to Chu Sheng.

For instance, the Earth-tier Upper-Grade Spiritual Secret Technique from the Array Academy was valuable, but having seen the various top-tier Secret Techniques Gu Yuexi used, Chu Sheng really didn’t think much of it. So he tossed it aside for now.

Finally, the prize from the Warlock Academy caught Chu Sheng’s interest. It was actually an unknown Talisman from ancient times.

Not even the Warlock Academy knew what this Talisman did; they could only faintly sense that the aura emanating from it seemed extremely powerful.

Chu Sheng observed it closely. On the front of the Talisman were two words written in ancient seal script: “By Order.”

On the back, a circle was drawn crookedly, and inside the circle was a distorted character for ’man’.

’Interesting. I’ll keep it!’
