Fang Chang glanced at his current stats. After evolving again, his attributes had skyrocketed, and with the 50% boost from the "Domination" skill, he was now ridiculously powerful.

With his current stats, he could likely rival ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts like the Soft Bone Rabbit.

If you factored in the effects of his numerous skills, his burst damage potential might even allow him to compete with forest overlords like Da Ming and Er Ming.

Of course, he wasn't in the mood to challenge those two just yet. After all, they had long occupied the Lake of Life and rarely separated. If he were to act, he'd have to be prepared to face both of them simultaneously.

And Fang Chang was far from ready for that. More importantly, those two had undoubtedly hidden trump cards, given their level of cultivation.

Thinking this, Fang Chang quickly shook his head, suppressing this dangerous thought. His greatest advantage was his potential. There was no need to take such risks so early.

Besides, Fang Chang already had plans for them. He would wait for the right moment to deal with them all at once. Until then, he would focus on improving his strength.

With this in mind, Fang Chang turned his gaze toward the outer regions of the forest and began walking toward a specific area between the third and fourth rings. This time, however, he didn't bother activating his "Stealth" skill.

When he returned to the spot where he had parted ways with the mutated Man-faced Demon Spider Queen', the area appeared empty at first glance.

But soon, a shadow beneath a large tree blurred slightly, and her figure gradually materialized.

Seeing Fang Chang return, she was momentarily stunned. In just half a day, his appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Chang's aura hadn't changed much despite his altered appearance, she might not have dared to approach him.

In her eyes, the previous Fang Chang had been like a radiant young star. Now, he exuded the steadiness of a mature male spider, making her even more infatuated.

"Come here," Fang Chang transmitted his thoughts to her using telepathy.

Although he could understand the mutated Man-faced Demon Spider Queen's language and could probably communicate with her using the Man-faced Demon Spider tongue, he felt that using "telepathy" was cooler and better showcased his grandeur.

"Mm," the mutated Man-faced Demon Spider Queen nodded, her face flushing as she approached Fang Chang. Just this morning, he had told her to focus on healing her wounds. Was he really in such a hurry now?

As she drew closer, Fang Chang raised one of his shield-like forelegs, intending to place it on her head.

The mutated Man-faced Demon Spider Queen instinctively took two steps back, avoiding Fang Chang's leg. But then she gritted her teeth and extended her head toward him.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm just giving you a gift," Fang Chang reassured her as he gently placed his shield-like leg on her forehead. A light screen appeared in his vision.

A gift? What's that? The mutated Man-faced Demon Spider Queen pouted but didn't dare to ask.

Perhaps this was just how spiders from big places talked, always saying strange things she couldn't understand. Asking too many questions would only make her seem ignorant, she thought.

Evolution Path 1:

Dark Scythe Demon Spider

Evolution Conditions: Soul power above 1,000 years, consume 1,000 evolution points (Evolvable)

Evolution Rewards: Change in appearance, significant increase in attack attributes, minor increase in other attributes, full recovery of state, acquire innate skill "Death Scythe."

Evolution Path 2:

Dark Armored Demon Spider

Evolution Conditions: Soul power above 1,000 years, consume 1,000 evolution points (Evolvable)

Evolution Rewards: Change in appearance, significant increase in defense attributes, minor increase in other attributes, full recovery of state, acquire innate skill "Hardening."

Fang Chang couldn't help but smile at the familiar options on the screen.

Looking at the evolution conditions, he was relieved to see that it only required 1,000 evolution points. What had once been a headache-inducing amount now seemed trivial.

He chose the Dark Scythe Demon Spider path without much hesitation, deciding that this was the best choice for the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen.

His current plan was to make her his capable assistant, so it made sense to prioritize high attack power.

As Fang Chang made his choice, a faint golden energy flowed from his shield-like leg into the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen's head, spreading throughout her body.

She began to moan in pain as her armor shattered, emitting a bright white light.

When the light faded, a brand-new Dark Scythe Demon Spider stood before Fang Chang.

Her body had grown slightly larger and more slender. Fortunately, her color remained the same snow-white, making her a goddess-like figure in the eyes of spider aesthetics.

The most noticeable change was that her two forelegs had transformed into scythe-like blades, contrasting with Fang Chang's shield-like forelegs.

Race: Dark Scythe Demon Spider (Mutated)

Soul Power: 45,600 years

HP: 16,308/16,308

Strength: 5,233

Attack: 8,193

Defense: 4,892

Speed: 5,997

(Stats boosted by the "Domination" skill)

Fang Chang looked at her updated stats. Wow, although her soul power hadn't increased, her attributes had nearly doubled thanks to the evolution and the effects of his "Domination" skill.

The mutated Dark Scythe Demon Spider also felt the changes in her body. She experimentally swung her scythe-like legs, noticing a significant increase in both speed and strength.

Was this the "gift" he had mentioned? She blinked her eight eyes at Fang Chang, her gaze filled with gratitude.

After living in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, this was the first time she had felt such a dramatic increase in strength. Now, she felt confident enough to challenge eighty or ninety-thousand-year soul beasts.

Fang Chang nodded in satisfaction as he watched her ecstatic reaction. If he could mass-evolve a group of spider-type soul beasts, the combat power under his command would multiply. Conquering the Star Dou Great Forest—or even the entire Douluo Continent—would no longer be a pipe dream!

Finally, he turned to the mutated Dark Scythe Demon Spider and said, "How about I give you a name?"

A name? The mutated Dark Scythe Demon Spider was confused again. What was this thing? But not wanting to appear ignorant, she nodded.

"Then... from now on, I'll call you Xiao Bai," Fang Chang said after a moment of thought, coming up with a name he thought was quite fitting.

"Xiao Bai..." The mutated Dark Scythe Demon Spider listened to the name in confusion but nodded again.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Bai," Fang Chang said, this time using the Human-Faced Demon Spider language aloud.

"Xiao Bai."

"Mm," the mutated Dark Scythe Demon Spider responded. She now roughly understood what a "name" was—it seemed to be a form of address between partners.
