Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

It could feel the power flowing through it and could sense that this strange being before it was not an enemy—at least, not anymore. Slowly, the tension in its body began to ease.

Ram took a deep breath, knowing that the next part was crucial. "I healed you. Now you will help me," he said, his words carrying a command.

The caveman leader blinked, its primitive mind struggling to comprehend the situation.

But the life energy coursing through its veins, combined with the spiritual power Ram had infused into it, made its body very comfortable, and addictive.

It wasn\'t fully aware of what was happening, but it understood enough, to realize its own lack of strength to contend with the individual before it, thereby recognizing Ram\'s authority.

Time passed and tension in the air became thick, but the creature seemed to be adjusting, albeit slowly.

However, after more than five minutes of continuous energy absorption, the caveman\'s body began to tremble.

It had already taken in about 30 points of life energy and 20 points of spiritual power. Ram noticed its expression change—confusion mixed with a growing panic.

The caveman leader suddenly felt some kind of shackles broke inside its body, and a violent energy surged through from its blood, it let out an ear-piercing scream.

Its body convulsed as the energy spiraled out of control, raging inside, tearing its muscles apart from the inside out.

Ram could only watch as the caveman\'s body twisted in agony.

Despite the chaotic destruction, Ram\'s constant infusion of life energy kept the creature alive.

He was shocked by what he was witnessing; this had never happened before when he evolved his wood spirits.

But he quickly pieced it together. "The Half-Drow bloodline," he thought, eyes narrowing. It was clear that his assumptions from earlier came true—this caveman wasn\'t born with such a powerful bloodline.

It must\'ve been injected, and until now, it lay dormant. Ram had inadvertently triggered its awakening.

The incompatible Half-Drow bloodline was waging war inside the caveman\'s body, trying to destroy its original blood and replace it.

Ram clenched his fists, sweat gathering on his brow. I can\'t stop now, he thought, his gaze sharp and determined. The caveman\'s survival hinged on his ability to keep feeding it life energy.

Increasing the output, Ram pushed more spiritual power and life energy into the creature\'s body, hoping it would stabilize and not disintegrate completely.

The process dragged on for over 15 minutes. During that time, the caveman\'s body was repeatedly broken down and rebuilt, each cycle more brutal than the last.

Blood pooled around them, the creature\'s body writhing on the ground, even after being unconscious from the pain.

Yet, with every painful regeneration, Ram noticed something extraordinary happening—its body was changing.

Ram couldn\'t help but marvel at the transformation unfolding before his eyes. As the caveman leader\'s body reshaped, growing larger and more humanoid.

Its once brutish body was replaced with something far more refined, like a shadow of the Half-Drows themselves.

Its skin darkened, its muscles bulging with new strength, while its hair turned stark white, reminiscent of the Drow bloodline that had lain dormant within it.

The change wasn\'t just physical. Ram could feel the shift in the caveman leader\'s aura. This wasn\'t just a caveman anymore.

It was something else entirely, he even found that there was a new addition to his pet status board, together with Mind Shadow Parasite.

[ Name: Mutant Half-Drow Caveman Leader]

[ Race: Cavemen/ Half Drow]

[ Level: Bronze (90%)]

[ Quality: Elite]

[ Physique: 8.4]

[ Spirit: 2.1]

As the last remnants of chaotic energy faded from its body, the creature finally stopped writhing.

Ram didn\'t know full well but, the combined effects of the life energy, the accumulated evolution points from its innate skill, and the awakened Half-Drow bloodline had pushed it past its original limitations.

Its quality had broken through from ordinary to elite.

Its physical attributes have increased dramatically, rising from 2 points to 8 points in physique.

However, the most significant improvement is in its spirit attribute, which has surged from 0.4 to 2.1 points.

Ram then checked his attribute panel and found that he had spent roughly 190 points of life energy and 30 points of spiritual power.

It was also thanks to these 30 points of spiritual power that its Spirit attribute increased so much.

However, Ram didn\'t stop there. His reserves were far from depleted—he had saved up more than three thousand points of life energy and spiritual power each over the past two days.

He even controlled himself not to use it on himself or other wood spirits but saved it for any emergency.

This was that opportunity, and he intended to push the limits of the caveman leader\'s transformation even further.

Gritting his teeth, Ram channeled more energy into the caveman leader\'s evolving body, the life energy flowing like a steady stream into its veins, reinforcing its body as it continued to evolve.

The creature convulsed again, but this time, the reaction wasn\'t one of pain, what was once a painful transformation had become smoother, the caveman adapting to the overwhelming energy flowing through its body.

The dark hue of its skin grew richer, taking on an almost metallic sheen. Its white hair became more pronounced, cascading down its back like a lion\'s mane.

"It\'s almost there," Ram thought, pushing another wave of energy into the caveman, it only took another 20 points of life energy, and successfully upgraded to Silver level, however, this time his main focus was to evolve it into a Rare quality monster.

Recalling his previous experiments with the Mind Shadow Parasite, Ram knew that spiritual power could further enhance a creature\'s quality.

Thus, he altered his approach, slowing down the infusion of life energy, as the creature\'s body had begun to acclimate to the Half-Drow\'s blood.

Instead, he channeled a large amount of spiritual power into the caveman\'s body to aid in the completion of the bloodline\'s transformation.

The spiritual power wove through the creature\'s body, intertwining with the chaotic Half-Drow bloodline now firmly dominating its body.

The transformation became more profound with each passing moment.

The caveman\'s body was no longer merely adapting; it was evolving at an accelerated rate, thanks to the help of spiritual power.

The Half-Drow bloodline\'s influence was now apparent in every detail of its form—its skin completely turned dark, its ears elongated subtly, taking on a pointed shape, a signature trait of the Drow lineage hybrids, and its hair long smooth seemed to shimmer with glow.

The once primitive features of the caveman were now sharper, and more angular, bearing a resemblance to the cold elegance of a Half-Drow.

Ram\'s eyes narrowed as he watched the final stages of the transformation unfold. The caveman leader\'s spiritual aura shifted with an intense, fiery glow, similar to those Half Drow\'s Fire mages.

Ram wiped the sweat from his brow, a flicker of excitement sparking in his chest.

"Fire mage?... this will make things more exciting," he thought, realizing the potential this creature has surprising him again and again.

The caveman leader—now a Mutant Half-Drow—began to stir. Its eyes snapped open, once dull and filled with primal rage, now gleamed with a sharper, more intelligent focus with glowing red irises, a clear indication of the awakened fire attribute.

Ram could feel the intensity of its new power, "Look at you," he said with a smirk, his voice calm but laced with satisfaction. "No one would recognize you if I called you a caveman."

The creature blinked at him, its earlier confusion replaced by a sense of newfound clarity.

It no longer looked at Ram with fear or wariness but with recognition and submission, thanks to becoming his pet.

The caveman leader\'s lips moved, struggling to form words, but Ram held up his hand to stop it.

"No need to speak yet. You need to adjust to your new power. Take a moment." Unlike other wood spirits he evolved, he could clearly tell that this caveman was different.

Thanks to its bloodline caring inherited memories and abilities passed down through generations, it has a basic understanding of the world and is not as ignorant as Thorny, Linger, or other wood spirits.

Ram let out a slow breath of relief.

The gamble had paid off. He had successfully awakened the dormant bloodline within the caveman leader, creating something entirely new—a creature with the power of both the cavemen and the Half-Drows, that could potentially help them in their desperate situation.

His thoughts briefly wandered to his reserves. He had spent more life energy and spiritual power than anticipated, but the results were undeniable.

Checking his attribute panel again, he saw that the caveman\'s stats on the pet status board had shifted drastically:
