"Understood." Xu Ran's grip on the Broken Jade Kite loosened slightly, his face showing a look of realization.
His understanding of the Evolution Ritual came solely from the system, knowing only the outcomes and not the underlying principles. The effect that the Evolution Ritual had during the evolutionary process could only be deduced post-evolution.

And indeed, the Broken Jade Kite had not disappointed him.
Thus, Xu Ran now knew what the Sky-touching Mysterious Wood most needed to complete its evolution.
