Looking at the small wooden boat, which was only twice the initial length of the original raft and was now surrounded by some fencing, Dong Tianyu felt like he had lost a lot. After all, the raft had swollen to its maximum size just now, with an area of at least a hundred square meters, whereas the seating area on the small wooden boat was at most five or six square meters.
It seems that no matter how much energy his Companion Spiritual Treasure devoured, once it evolved, it would only evolve to the initial state of the next level. Even if there was surplus energy before the evolution, as soon as it evolved, all the excess would vanish.
Of course, this was only Dong Tianyu's speculation. There might be another possibility: the surplus energy acquired before the evolution, though it disappeared after the event, wasn't lost in vain but transformed into the foundation of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, increasing its growth rate above that of other Companion Spiritual Treasures.
