Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 698 - 589 White Wei Spider King_2
"Congratulations, White Ivy Spider King!"
"White Ivy Spider King, did you manage to comprehend the Thunder System Talent?" Red Peach asked with concern.
"Of course—" White Ivy replied. With a thought, a flash of Thunder System Primordial Energy flickered by.
Earth, Wood, Metal, Fire, Wind, Thunder—six Elemental Talents!
Column Spotted hopped and cheered, "That's awesome! White Ivy Spider King is only missing Water System to complete all seven elements—then you'll be invincible!"
"Column Spotted, stop bragging."
White Ivy scolded sternly, saying seriously, "I'm still one Water System short of being invincible, aren't I? It's not that easy."
Column Spotted: "..."
"..."
All the spiders fell silent, speechless.
Melde strolled forward lazily and asked, "White Ivy, Sea Insect Fruit? I'll go ask Seven-Leaf."
"No—"
White Ivy said, "Sea Insect Fruit isn't that great, and it's expensive. I'll go find the Snow Velvet Spider King myself and barter for a Divine-Grade Velvet Fruit instead!"
Column Spotted immediately raised a foreleg and praised, "White Ivy Spider King is clever! The Velvet Fruit is way better!"
Silvergrass chimed in, "If White Ivy Spider King awakens an Ice-type Water System Talent after eating a Velvet Fruit, then you'll really be invincible!"
Melde: "..."
Can you two at least pretend to have a shred of self-respect as spiders?
Melde shot a fierce glare at Column Spotted.
Column Spotted shuffled over, obediently standing by White Ivy's side.
Red Peach called out, "White Ivy Spider King, we guessed you were close to success, so I hunted some fresh food—come eat and recover!"
"Alright!"
White Ivy asked, "Red Peach, how long was my breakthrough?"
Red Peach: "Forty-nine days plus one night, and a bit more than half a daylight—almost full fifty days. We were starting to worry."
"Oh—"
"That long!"
White Ivy's aura visibly collapsed, weakly saying, "No wonder! I'm starving to death here!"
Silvergrass and Column Spotted instantly sprinted toward the food pile, competing to wield spider silk and help with the slicing.
White Ivy stepped forward, devouring ravenously.
Three whole wild boars—within a short while, only three pig heads remained.
Seeing the time was right,
Melde asked, "White Ivy, you have so many talents, your King-Level breakthrough must have brought plenty of new abilities, right?"
"Let me think—"
White Ivy withdrew her spiritual power, examined herself, and sank into deep thought.
Suddenly, Exotic System Primordial Energy surged fiercely. Eight eyes flared with green and blood-red light.
Red and green gleamed in high-frequency flashes, flowing rapidly.
After ten seconds or so, the Primordial Energy faded from her eyes.
"Ha! Ha!"
White Ivy was overjoyed, exclaiming, "I'm such a genius! Aren't I amazing?"
"???"
Melde sent over a wave of spiritual inquiry, questioning her with a thought.
White Ivy: "I finally managed to merge part of my Soul-Setting Ability with my vision! Direct soul sight! Now this is 'True Sight' in the truest sense—no disguise can fool my eyes anymore!"
White Ivy briefly explained, "Melde, haven't you heard? The Shield Grasshopper Tribe underwent a bloodline mutation under the Quandong Divine Tree, gaining racial talent to see directly into souls, and discern good from evil, truth from lies. So I wondered if I could combine Soul-Setting with my own vision. I've been trying all along…"
White Ivy: "And it finally worked!"
White Ivy: "From now on, nobody can deceive me! All hypocrisy and lies, good and evil—I'll see right through them!"
Silvergrass instantly thrust up a foreleg and shouted, "White Ivy Spider King is a genius!"
Column Spotted echoed loudly, thumping the ground, "White Ivy Spider King is an unrivaled genius!"
"Ha~ha~ha~"
White Ivy was delighted, praising, "Silvergrass and Column Spotted are smart too! I've paved the way for you—this combo of abilities, you all can copy it."
Lupine and Grass Dragon were about to throw in some compliments, but seeing those two flatterers, they were left speechless.
—Seriously? You two bootlickers are so fake, can't she see that?
—Well, then maybe that 'True Sight' isn't working after all!
Melde said earnestly, "White Ivy, you clearly have a talent for visual abilities far beyond ordinary bugs—you could completely use this vision ability to condense your own First Divine Mark."
White Ivy: "That's exactly what I'm planning!"
Lupine asked, "My most respected White Ivy Spider King, what new abilities? Which ones did you comprehend? With six Elemental Talents, there should be at least six new powers, right?"
"Let me think some more…"
White Ivy calmed her mind, thinking deeply as Fire and Thunder System Primordial Energy flared—eight eyes bursting with red lightning.
White Ivy bounced and cheered, "Another eye-based ability!"
"What a pity though, it's not a detection power—this one's for attacking…"
White Ivy said this, slowly turning to aim at the huge boulder that had blocked the cave entrance.
Zzz~zzz~zzz~
A series of shrill blasts.
Eight streaks of crimson lightning shot from her eight eyes, striking the boulder and burning eight holes into it.
"This ability's a bit weak, needs to be combined with some other powers to be strong. Not impressive yet—no name for it for now."
Since she didn't even pierce ordinary rock, White Ivy was slightly embarrassed, but quickly composed herself and lay down in thought—then bounced up again in excitement.
"There's another visual ability!"
"Wow! Hey! A Wind-Thunder dual system vision ability…"
Saying this, her eight eyes surged with Primordial Energy, the color turning to a translucent light purple veiled in hazy violet glow.
Her gaze swept across Lupine and Grass Dragon.
Lupine and Grass Dragon instantly felt uncomfortable all over—their bristles quivered.
Lupine: "My most most most respected elder…"
Grass Dragon: "Congratulations, White Ivy Spider King!"
White Ivy put away the power and explained, "This one is strong! It lets me see the distribution and flow of Primordial Energy inside the target's body, and it can be combined with Wise Wood Eye!"
"..."
All the bugs choked up in silence.
Lupine raised a claw to ask, "White Ivy Spider King, my most respected elder, did you gain any ability that isn't related to your eyes?"
Grass Dragon added, "A spider only has eight eyes—if you get too many eye powers, you might not be able to use them all."
"That… does make some sense…"
