Chapter 158: Human-Sculpture Integration
After seeing the changes in Pidgeot, Mo Hui was stunned. He couldn't have imagined that Pidgeot would absorb the Wind-Fixing Bead as if it were a mega stone, allowing him to take the final step and evolve into Mega Pidgeot.
What followed was a huge surprise—Mo Hui could feel the power radiating from Mega Pidgeot.
Originally, Pidgeot was already one of the top-tier spirits, with very few martial spirits in Douluo I able to compare with him.
And now, Mega Pidgeot had completely surpassed the top-tier category—he had even gone beyond the so-called super spirits and ultimate spirits introduced in Douluo II.
In Mo Hui's view, those so-called "super" and "ultimate" spirits in Douluo II were still fundamentally high-tier spirits, just more powerful than ordinary top-tier ones.
For example, in the original story, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix evolved into a True Fire Phoenix after consuming the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which in Douluo II terms qualified as an Ultimate Fire. Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix spirit, as its counterpart, could be considered Ultimate Ice.
If one insisted on classification, super spirits and ultimate spirits could be seen as T0-level among top spirits—not god-level, but certainly superior to most other high-quality spirits.
It's worth noting, however, that while super and ultimate spirits had higher innate quality than ordinary top-tier spirits, their real-world performance during the Douluo I era wasn't vastly superior. This was largely due to the underdeveloped cultivation system of the time.
On the contrary, spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Seven Treasures Glazed Tiles Sect spirits stood out because of their robust clans and long-standing inheritance methods.
As for the current Mega Pidgeot, Mo Hui was certain: he had already broken past the boundaries of a top-level spirit. If one had to categorize him, only a god-level martial spirit would match his current quality.
Unlike the Seraphim, which reached the god level via inheritance from the Divine Seat, Pidgeot attained this by sheer quality alone.
"Beep!!!"
Pidgeot cried out in excitement. After such a long journey, he had finally evolved into Mega Pidgeot. Even though the breakthrough was made possible by the martial spirit true body and the Wind-Fixing Bead, it was still a breakthrough.
"Papapapa~~"
Mo Hui stepped forward, clapping as he smiled. "Congratulations, Pidgeot. You've become Mega Pidgeot."
Looking carefully, Mo Hui noticed that Pidgeot had changed slightly from the Mega Pidgeot of the Pokémon world.
The most notable difference was in the feathers on his head. Originally bright red, they were now cyan—probably due to the influence of the Wind-Fixing Bead acting as a mega stone.
Pidgeot nodded excitedly, and then the light surrounding him faded as he reverted to his regular form.
Though his appearance was back to normal, after mega evolution, Pidgeot's potential had been fully unlocked, and his martial spirit quality had improved significantly.
Pidgeot, already among the rare top-tier martial spirits, had now ascended to the T0 level—the domain of super and ultimate spirits.
In a sense, calling him the Ultimate Wind would not be an exaggeration.
"Huh?"
At that moment, Mo Hui suddenly gasped in surprise. As Pidgeot completed his evolution into Mega Pidgeot, Mo Hui's seventh spirit ring also began to change.
The seventh soul ring on Mo Hui's body lit up again. Immediately, Pidgeot was drawn toward Mo Hui as though pulled by a magnetic force.
When man and bird made contact, they fused perfectly—and then, a massive Mega Pidgeot over ten meters tall appeared at the bottom of Hurricane Canyon.
"Incredible… I actually merged with Pidgeot."
Mo Hui's voice came from the body of the massive Mega Pidgeot, which now moved under his control.
Transforming into one's martial spirit is normally part of the true body form for beast-type spirits. However, Mo Hui's Pidgeot was an unusual out-of-body beast spirit, and such spirits usually behave like weapon spirits—manifesting alongside, not through, the spirit master.
Weapon spirits usually enlarge or slightly alter the user's appearance, rather than becoming a full beast transformation.
Mo Hui had followed that form—until now. Thanks to the Wind-Fixing Bead and Pidgeot's breakthrough into Mega form, the special nature of mega evolution, combined with the bond between them, allowed for full fusion.
Naturally, Mo Hui was thrilled. After all, what kind of trainer wouldn't want to fight side-by-side with their partner?
"In that case," Mo Hui said, "let's test this new form's combat strength."
With that, the enormous Mega Pidgeot took flight, soaring straight into the upper wind layers.
Ordinarily, this would have been the most dangerous part of Hurricane Canyon—but now, it didn't hinder him in the slightest.
With just a light flap of his wings, several massive wind blades—each four to five feet wide—sliced forward. Every blade carried force capable of tearing through space. Like sword energy cutting through a waterfall, the air blades carved a temporary windless zone in the raging hurricane.
"Hahaha~~"
Even though the zone lasted only a short time, Mo Hui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That attack had been just a basic air blade. If even this could create such destructive force, what would happen if he used a multi-layered air blade?
Mo Hui also discovered that in this fused state, the Delta Airflow was vastly more powerful—even stronger than when he and Pidgeot separately released the double Delta Airflow together.
He went on to test several other soul skills in this fused form—Lightning Flash, Tailwind, Storm, Divine Bird Slam...
After a while, Mo Hui nodded in satisfaction. In this state of fusion, all soul skills were significantly enhanced, and the soul power cost to cast them was noticeably reduced.
Before this, Mo Hui's combat ability was already on par with ordinary Titled Douluo.
Now, with this breakthrough, his overall strength had skyrocketed. In theory, Mo Hui could now go toe-to-toe with high-tier Titled Douluo at level 96 or 97.
(According to Douluo I mechanics, after level 95, soul power doubles with every level.)
The only concern left was Mo Hui's total soul power reserve. At level 75, his soul power simply wasn't enough to sustain long battles at Titled Douluo levels, especially when using multiple high-powered soul skills.
Of course, if he chose to fight using Pidgeot's speed for hit-and-run tactics, it would be a different story.
