The cat spirit received an abundant supply of spiritual energy; its combat power was also very strong at this point. When the spiritual energy was sufficient, its body size could become larger, while it could also maintain its original size; the sufficiency of spiritual energy affected the upper limit of its size rather than the lower limit.
There was no need for such a large size to deal with these flesh creature people; a few meters were more than enough. Any larger would have been superfluous.
Zheng Yichen found that the cat spirit could also provide 'demonic thoughts' to the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, and in quite a large quantity at that.
The cat spirit itself was a 'Vengeful Spirit' that resided within a piece of fur; it was by no means a benevolent existence.
