Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 700 - 395: Surge of Spiritual Power (Part 1)_1

After becoming familiar with the process, Ye Feng’s spirit refining efficiency became faster and faster.

Eventually, it would only take 3 seconds to refine the Sea of Consciousness of a Fourth Order Mutated Spider, 6 seconds for a Fifth Order, and 10 seconds for a Sixth Order.

Of course, later on, Ye Feng would predominantly choose to refine Spirits from Sixth Order Mutated Beings, and the reason for this was, naturally, due to the harvest.

To give an example, if refining the Sea of Consciousness of a Fourth Order Mutated Creature provided one unit of the Source of Spirit, then refining a Fifth Order Mutated Spider would give 10 units, and refining a Sixth Order Mutated Spider would yield 100 units.

The Source of Spirit provided by a Sixth Order Mutated Spider was 100 times that of a Fourth Order Mutated Spider; however, the time it took to refine them was only a little more than three times as much.

Knowing how to maximize efficiency, Ye Feng naturally knew what choice to make.

But even if Ye Feng only refined Sixth Order Mutated Spiders, those 500 Sixth Order Mutated Spiders still took a full 83 minutes.

Spending such a long time resulted in a significant harvest.

When the last Mutated Spider was refined, the Golden Crow’s size had swelled by nearly one third compared to before.

Of course, this was only the first step; after the Golden Crow returned to the Sea of Consciousness, Ye Feng had to integrate the Source of Spirit within the Golden Crow into his own Sea of Consciousness using the Golden Crow Refining Spirits Method to complete a true cycle of refinement.

This was equivalent to transferring through the Golden Crow once, so the Source of Spirit he obtained could meld with his own being.

Ye Feng could clearly feel his Sea of Consciousness expanding constantly, and his spiritual power began to increase rapidly.

After 5 minutes, this round of enhancement came to a halt. Ye Feng distinctly sensed that, after just one cycle, the strength of his spiritual power had actually increased by 5%.

"It truly deserves the attention of the Heavenly Court, this Spirit Power Secret Technique. The effects of the improvement are immediate! At this rate, my spiritual power strength could increase by 100% in just one day," he said.

Eager to proceed, Ye Feng immediately began searching for a gathering place of Mutated Beings.

Of course, before that, he would open his tactical computer to check the battle reports sent back by the various squads every half hour.

After confirming that there were no issues, Ye Feng shifted his gaze toward a valley located 5 kilometers away, which also harbored a massive den of Mutated Spiders.

Moreover, the valley contained an even larger number of Sixth Order Mutated Spiders, approximately 700 in total.

With a step, Ye Feng’s figure appeared above the valley, accompanied by a rippling spatial fluctuation.

Just as Ye Feng was about to make a move, his eyes fell on a pack of Mutated Wild Wolves wandering near the edge of the valley.

This pack of Mutated Wild Wolves was evidently targeting the valley, or more precisely, the prey caught in the spiders’ webs within the valley.

Of course, Ye Feng had no time to concern himself with the intentions of these Mutated Wild Wolves, as his focus was on the three Sixth Order leaders of the pack.

"Come to think of it, I haven’t tried spirit refining these Sixth Order Mutated Animals yet," Ye Feng muttered to himself and took another step, appearing right in front of the Mutated Wolf Pack.

The intuitive sense of danger of these Mutated Wild Wolves far surpassed that of other Mutated Animals; upon seeing Ye Feng, instead of attacking, they immediately tucked their tails and began to run.

However, faced with Ye Feng, there was no escape for them. In the blink of an eye, all the Mutated Wild Wolves were caught up in an Illusion Realm.

Following that, the Golden Crow appeared once again, crashing into the Sea of Consciousness of a Sixth Order Mutated Wild Wolf.

Instantly, Ye Feng noticed that the Sea of Consciousness of these Mutated Animals was at least twice as strong as that of the Mutated Insects.

However, for Ye Feng, that was all there was to it. As the Spiritual Flames began to rise from the Golden Crow, the entire Sea of Consciousness swiftly started to collapse.

This time, it took Ye Feng roughly 20 seconds to extract and assimilate the Source of Spirit from this Mutated Wild Wolf’s Sea of Consciousness into the Golden Crow.

"Damn, that’s a steal!" Ye Feng couldn’t help but mutter.

Of course, when he said this, it was not because the Source of Spirit gained from the Mutated Wild Wolf was too little, but quite the opposite, it was five times more than what he had anticipated from the Mutated Spider.

Spending twice the time to gain five times the return, in other words, refining these Mutated Animals yielded 2.5 times more benefits than refining Mutated Insects.

The reason he felt it was a loss was that he’d wasted over an hour on those Mutated Spiders.

But having made the discovery, it wasn’t too late at all.

He quickly refined three Sixth Order Mutated Wild Wolves and then directly used the Golden Crow to release Spiritual Flames, killing off all the remaining Mutated Wild Wolves.

"Next, it’s time to look for those Mutated Animals."

Ye Feng’s spiritual power began to sweep across the area on a large scale.

With the strength of his current spiritual power, the farthest distance he could probe reached hundreds of kilometers. As he closed his eyes to search, Sixth Order Peak Mutated Beings were quickly located by his spiritual power.

Of course, Ye Feng did not immediately leave but casually dealt with the more than 700 Sixth Order Mutated Spiders in the valley before soaring away.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Although Ye Feng had only refined 90 Mutated Animals in this half-hour, his spiritual power had surged by another 5%, totaling a 10% increase.

Such a rate of progress was naturally extremely fast, yet the smile vanished from Ye Feng’s face.

"I didn’t expect to hit my limit so quickly," Ye Feng murmured softly to himself.

Of course, the limit he referred to was not that the Sea of Consciousness could no longer expand, but rather the limit he could accommodate in a short period.

Although the Source of Spirit that Ye Feng absorbed was all transformed by the Golden Crow, it was ultimately from an outside source, and needed to complete the final step of Assimilation to truly become his own.

In fact, this process of Assimilation was ongoing. As time passed, the Source of Spirit he absorbed would naturally become his.

But the issue was that the efficiency of Ye Feng’s absorption of the Source of Spirit was simply too high. In less than two hours, his spiritual power had surged by 10%, which caused the speed of Assimilation to lag behind.

And 10% was a threshold; if Ye Feng continued to increase his spiritual power wildly, he might encounter problems.

So, what he had to do now was wait.

Ye Feng silently estimated that he would need only half a day for his Sea of Consciousness to completely Assimilate the newly acquired Source of Spirit.
