Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Blessing in Disguise

Returning to his room, Bai Qi had immediately flopped onto the bed and his consciousness had plunged into the Beast Control Space.
Even though there seemed to be nothing wrong with the Evolution Egg, after seeing how Bai Heguang and Wang Chen, two Titled Legendary figures, had taken it so seriously, Bai Qi did not feel completely at ease.
Crack.
At that moment, Alpha’s Silver Egg suddenly broke open, and a strong aura of death instantly spread across the entire Beast Control Space.
Hum, hum, hum…
The Evolution Egg appeared to sense the aura of death and began to vibrate intensely. The crystal walls of the Beast Control Space also emitted a silvery light, suppressing this aura of death entirely.
Creak, creak.
(Come back.)
Due to the suppression, Alpha seemed to come to his senses. The aura of death, as if following a command, swiftly returned to Alpha’s body.
To be precise, it returned to the Withering Great Sword.
Seeing this, Bai Qi promptly summoned Alpha and checked him thoroughly. After confirming that something strange wasn’t happening to Alpha, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Golden Finger is reliable. Otherwise, it would have been a big loss.”
Alpha had been with him since the beginning. If he had been damaged due to exploring a Secret Realm, it would have been as if he lost his wife and his army. “Alpha, how do you feel?”
Creak, creak.
(I feel pretty good. I seem to have become stronger.)
On hearing this, Bai Qi was delighted. He immediately placed his hand on Alpha, and a massive amount of data flooded into his mind.
[Name]: Withering Dragon Lord (Alpha)
[Nature]: Ice Clan, Undead Department, Dragon Department
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Ninth Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
[Racial skills]: Withering Breath (Super Level – Awakened), Dragon Might (High Level – Master), Skeleton Manipulation (High Level – Perfect), Ice Crystal Barrier (High Level – Perfect), Blast Crystal Spike (High Level – Perfect), Shadow Lotus Skill (Mid-Level – Perfect), Gravity Amplification (Super Level – Proficient), Wind Wound (High Level – Novice), Sword Blade Storm (Super Level – Novice)
[Energy Value]: 4,700,000
Withering Breath has awakened?
Bai Qi observed the change in Withering Breath immediately, filled with both delight and doubt.
So, it turned out that the Blood of Death was a type of material as well, and the Evolution Egg absorbed it. Also, the proficiency level of a super skill was maxed out, leading it to awaken?
With that thought, Bai Qi immediately took Alpha into the Secret Realm Base.
Right when Alpha entered the Secret Realm, Schuck the Husky, who was gradually improving the double-headed wolf and the self-exploding wolf squad tactic, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively looked towards the direction of the fighting room.
Uh…
(I seemed to sense a dangerous aura.)
“The energy detector also detected some abnormal fluctuations. Considering the abnormal mental fluctuation from the Beast Master earlier, did something happen?”
Both heads exchanged glances and rushed towards the fighting room while abandoning their tasks. Upon seeing Alpha, Beta immediately took a step back instinctively.
No, to be exact, it looked at the Withering Sword behind Alpha.
Ah…
(That sword makes me feel uncomfortable.)
Seeing Schuck rushing over on its own, Bai Qi immediately spoke, “Schuck, Beta, you’re here, perfect timing. Make a target for Alpha to test Alpha’s awakening skill.”
“Awakening skill?”
Schuck and Beta exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. But, they obediently followed the order and used Etherium Liquid Gold to form a metallic wolf.
“Alpha, give it a try.”
Alpha nodded, grabbed the Withering Sword in his hand, and cleanly cut the metallic wolf in half.
“It doesn’t seem like any different from before.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi frowned, and just as he was about to instruct Alpha to release the Withering Breath directly, Schcuk unexpectedly reported, “The vitality of the metal target is gone. It has been scrapped.”
Vitality gone?
Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. He immediately remembered the condition in which the Pterosaur had been eroded by the black magma and losing vitality.
That said, the effect of Withering Breath is somewhat similar, making matter contacted with it rot faster. It really is somewhat related to the Blood of Death.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately went over to the metallic target and carefully examined it.
Just as Schuck had said, even though the two pieces of the metallic target did not have any other injuries, the parts touched by the sword edge had completely “died”, even the repair and expansion functions of Etherium Liquid Gold were gone.
In simple terms, this metallic target had already become a “corpse”.
“Even though it hasn’t completely awakened, it already has the capability to snatch life. Rather than calling this Withering Breath, let’s call it Death’s Breath.”
Bai Qi was overjoyed. He had initially thought that Alpha was going to be damaged in some way, but who’d have thought that it was a blessing in disguise and awakened a super skill directly.
By the way, what would a super skill turn into after it awakened?
Super 1, 2,3,4, 5?
Bai Qi’s mind wandered for a while, then he turned his attention to Gamma.
Previously, because Gamma had defended him, almost his entire body was covered with the blood of death. He was also the most seriously injured. Bai Qi even noticed that his soul contract with Gamma was about to break.
He was too preoccupied before to pay attention. Now that he thought about it, when he put Gamma into the Evolution Egg, it took the most energy.
This time, he really relied on the energy of the green dragon scales. Otherwise, even if he survived, Gamma was likely gone.
For Beast Masters, the death of a contracted beast signified the total loss of a contract slot and also meant the loss of the qualification to be a legend.
However, looking at Alpha’s situation, it seemed that Gamma’s condition was now stable. He wondered if similar skills could be gained after that.
And maybe even evolution again?
Bai Qi’s eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation. If that really happened, his journey would be an absolute win.
Seeing him looking smug learning the new Withering Breath Skill, both Husky’s consciousness couldn’t help but grumble in dissatisfaction.
Oh?
(What does this mean? I was just about to surpass stinky bone, and stinky bone is now stronger. Human, are you really not going to do something about it?) “Stop daydreaming and focus on your training.”
Woof Woof!
(Training? I understand now.)
With that, Beta wanted to go back to sleep but was awakened by Schuck.
“The Great Compassion Mantra given to you by the Beast Master seems to have the effect of strengthening your spirit power. I’ ve combined it with the Beast Master’s meditative method. You better practice hard, otherwise…”
Awooo!
(I was threatened by myself!!!)
Beta looked at Schuck in surprise, feeling again the failure of his main consciousness.
It was acceptable to be disciplined by humans, but now that he had to be disciplined by his own secondary consciousness, he felt that he had truly failed as a wolf.
No, he had to think of a way to counterbalance Schuck. Otherwise, living as a wolf would be too depressed.
Thinking of this, Beta was suddenly filled with infinite fighting spirit and began to meditate as per Schuck’s method.
While Schuck and Beta were striving hard, Gamma’s eggshell finally cracked open.
Unfortunately, the evolution light Bai Qi was hoping for did not appear.
“Predictably, my heart is indeed too dark, I even thought of directly evolving Gamma to the Lord Level.”
Bai Qi snapped his mouth in a little regret but soon let it go.
Although it would be nice to evolve directly, he was more inclined to let Gamma evolve with a mythical material. At least he would be able to obtain a super skill. That was much more reliable than leveling up randomly now.
Ka-bang Ka-bang.
(Master, Gamma is very hungry…)
As soon as Gamma left the Evolution Egg, a strong sense of hunger came over him. When Bai Qi summoned him, he fell to the ground like a melted object.
Such a glutton, the first thing it did after waking up was to think about eating.
Bai Qi sighed and asked Alpha to bring a few Angel Fruits to put on Gamma, Gamma immediately wrapped them up and absorbed them all in an instant. Ka-bang Ka-bang.
(Master, Gamma is still very hungry…)
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly. Five Angel Fruits, worth 250 million Federal coins, had just filled the gap between Gamma’s teeth. If it was before, Bai Qi definitely couldn’t take it.
“It looks like I will have to keep you at Nicholas’s place for a long time.”
Bai Qi simply took all the Angel Fruit in his hand and piled them all on Gamma. Gamma readily swallowed them all and absorbed them joyfully.
Looking at the happy grin on Gamma’s face, Bai Qi couldn’t help but give Gamma a loving rub. He then began to check Gamma’s status.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Attribute]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Third Stage Level One
[Bloodline Level]: High-Grade Elite
[Race Skill]: Bloodsucking Aura (High-Level – Proficient), Deadly Poison Aura (High-Level – Proficient), Split (Mid-Level – Proficient), Mimicry (Low-Level – Perfect), Corrosion (Low-Level – Perfect), Toxin Resistance (Mid-Level – Perfect), Electric Resistance (Mid-Level – Perfect), Frozen Resistance (MidLevel – Perfect), Flame Resistance (Mid-Level – Perfect), Blazing Resistance (Mid-Level – Experienced), Cutting Resistance (Mid-Level – Experienced), Shadow Resistance (Mid-Level – Experienced), Corrosion Resistance (MidLevel – Experienced), Radiation Resistance (Mid-Level – Proficient), ??? (Super Level – Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 826000
[Condition]: Evolvable
“Yo, it has evolved directly into third stage? Its energy value is over 800,000, almost reaching the minimum value of a third-stage Lord.”
Seeing Gamma’s excessively high energy value, Bai Qi could imagine that Gamma’s energy value would be incredibly powerful after breaking through to the Lord Level.
Physical Mutations, they weren’t kidding.
“Why is this skill bar getting longer and longer? Why can’t Gamma be like Alpha who would merge skills on his own?”
Looking at Gamma’s excessively long skill bar, Bai Qi was a bit troubled, but he had no choice but to patiently check every one.
While he didn’t take it seriously at first, he gasped when he saw it.
“Oh my God! Where is my Awakened Energy Absorption Skill???”
