Chapter 10, The First Species' Soul.

This is not just powerful

In a little while

Let it continue to catch mice

Lin Shan quickly entered the realm of the soul with his thoughts

Lin Shan quickly opened his eyes, and the scene before him startled even his strong heart.

Close your eyes. He entered the spiritual realm again, and the large rat, just like the previous small rat, slowly transformed into a pool of blood, becoming the nourishment for the gene blood pool. Lin Shan wished for the gene blood pool to expand rapidly, but to incorporate a corpse into the spiritual realm, one must possess the spiritual power of that corpse.

Open the eyes again

After a full half minute, the blood pool was nearly depleted, and only then did the mouse spirit cease its absorption of blood. At this moment, the surface of the mouse spirit, which was entirely a deep crimson, began to display glossy fur, resembling sharp spikes, with the color gradually shifting from red to gray. Its sharp claws and powerful muscles slowly emerged.

Every minute

... ...

Therefore, for the time being, or rather today, Lin Shan can only resort to this most foolish method—"sitting like a mouse"

In the next moment, the mouse disappeared into the realm of the soul.

Basically, a poor mouse was caught and then Lin Shan swiftly dispatched it, sending it to the Soul Space. After gathering the spiritual power of ten strands of mouse souls, Lin Shan condensed another mouse.

Select ten larger Soul Powers, Lin Shan commanded in his heart: "Consolidate the Soul."

furrowed his brow

Lin Shan experimented for quite a while and finally discovered the skill of 'Vision Sharing'. However, viewing oneself through the eyes of a mouse presented a vision tinged with red, resembling something out of a horror film

Lin Shan felt a tremor in his spiritual space, as ten strands of spiritual power quickly intertwined before his eyes, spinning faster and faster, emitting a brilliant glow. However, despite this, the space remained unilluminated, indicating that this was not true light, but rather the light of the spirit.

The command was just issued

The spirit gradually takes shape

To swiftly end the enemy's life is the objective of all battles

Looking at the blood pool beside him, Lin Shan commanded again: "Consolidate the physical body"

Lin Shan understood

Is time frozen here? Or is it to prevent the creatures within this space from running around and not allowing them to move? Lin Shan thought to himself

The blood pool before me was constantly churning, like boiling water, but unfortunately, there was no sound. The soul of the mouse floated above the blood pool, and the blood seemed to be drawn upwards, with drops of blood rising and merging into the mouse's soul. Gradually, like ink dripping into clear water, the entire soul of the mouse turned red

The life of this fat mouse has come to an end, and the corpse has been stored in the space.

Upon receiving the command, 01 swiftly vanished from Lin Shan's sight

All fell to the ground, convulsing

Lin Shan raised his knife and struck down

"Go again, keep grabbing, do not take the cubs." Lin Shan commanded again, as the spiritual power of the cubs was pitifully low and taking them would be of no use.

Along with the previous two, fifteen strands of varying sizes of spiritual power floated in the space, while the corpses of the mice had turned into a pool of blood, and the current gene blood pool had grown to the size of a basin.

Let's give it a try

The mouse lay still with its eyes closed, yet Lin Shan could sense that it was alive. With a thought, the mouse, which was condensed from white light, opened its eyes, and even its pupils were white. It resembled a work of art

Extend the right forepaw and raise the left hind leg. Good, well done

Lin Shan noticed the unusual behavior of the mouse that had condensed its physical form

Next

Otherwise, it cannot be collected

The blood below has still not ceased the anti-gravity infusion

Just when Lin Shan thought he would have to wait a little longer

It is time to test the abilities of this mouse. He named this mouse 01, as it is the first spirit he has condensed and also his first subordinate, which holds significant commemorative value; therefore, it was not used to enhance himself

Lin Shan immediately ordered the release of this mouse

As soon as the thought arose, the corpse of the large rat vanished before his eyes. Lin Shan quickly stepped forward to pick up his dagger, which bore no traces of blood. Clearly, everything belonging to that large rat, including its blood, had been absorbed into the soul space.

A robust large rat appeared before Lin Shan

Feeling the kindness conveyed by the mouse, Lin Shan was very happy

Although this mouse appears to be extremely fierce, Lin Shan nonetheless sensed the warmth it conveyed

Next

It is simply akin to becoming the king of mice, filled with great joy. This is indeed a good method, using mice to catch mice, allowing oneself to enjoy leisure without the need to scatter rat poison everywhere. However, it does not mean that rat poison is unnecessary; employing both methods together will yield quicker results.

That means the combined spiritual power of these ten mice, as well as the physical strength, is the total of these ten mice, which indicates that Mouse 01 is essentially invincible among rodents

Lin Shan fixed his gaze ahead

Stand up

Just finished issuing the order

A mouse the size of a rabbit lay two meters in front of him, its eyes bloodshot, particularly eerie in the darkness. Observing the rising and falling belly of the mouse, Lin Shan realized that this creature was alive, indeed it was true; the mouse in the spiritual realm was in a dormant state.

He actually does not need to go up and kill; he just needs to wait for about ten minutes, and the mouse will die completely. However, he does not want to wait. The habit formed on the battlefield is that time is life. Unless necessary, he will not waste a single second.

Go catch a live mouse from somewhere else

Thirteen mice

A mouse, clutching a fat old rat in its mouth, darted in front of him, placed it on the ground, and retreated to the side, quietly crouching down. The old rat trembled incessantly, clearly too frightened to move, only able to emit continuous squeaks, evidently in great fear.

Turn back to the original place

Continuously integrating into the body of the mouse

Come here, Lin Shan commanded

Lin Shan quickly got up and ended the lives of the mice one by one, then stored them in the spiritual space. Lin Shan tore open another packet of rat poison and, as before, placed seven or eight pellets in each location

Waiting for the next batch to come and meet their demise

A dozen or so mice appeared one after another in front of him, some even bringing their families along. Lin Shan could only say sorry as he watched them consume the rat poison. Some ate a lot, while others ate little, but it did not matter; as long as they took a bite, they were doomed to die. Each grain of rat poison could kill an adult mouse.

Lin Shan opened his eyes

No breath

Half a minute later

As a rustling sound approached, indicating that a large number of rats were drawing near, Lin Shan's lips curled into a smile, suggesting that tonight he would be able to try out several functions of the Soul Space.

Receiving the command, 01, who was also known for being taciturn, swiftly darted out with a whoosh, disappearing from Lin Shan's sight. Observing this agile movement, Lin Shan recalled the introduction to the condensation of the physical body.

Lin Shan is at a loss; he is contemplating whether to buy some pigs to experiment with. However, he does not have much money in his pocket, as his savings amount to only a few tens of thousands of RMB. If he were to buy pigs, he could only afford a dozen or so adults at most, which would only allow for a limited experiment and would not enable large-scale replication.

After sitting down

A mouse, entirely enveloped in white light, appeared before Lin Shan

The rat swarm was thrown into a commotion as the effects of the drug began to take hold

Lin Shan continued to maintain a statue-like posture, waiting for the prey to come to him.

The mouse quickly ran in front of Lin Shan, who touched the mouse's fur with his hand. It was somewhat prickly and warm, clearly indicating that it was indeed a living creature
