Chapter 412: Wind Speed Aura (Second update, requesting everything)

~11 min read 2,132 words

"Come out, Giant Whale Kun!"

Li Zhangsheng came to the side of the pond in the backyard and released the Giant Whale Kun once again.

The Giant Whale Kun's aquatic nature could be said to be innate; upon first contact with the pond, it dove straight to the bottom, and with a flick of its tail, the silt at the bottom surged and dispersed, turning the small pond murky.

The Giant Whale Kun hurriedly surfaced, splashing large sprays of water, its fish tail constantly flapping against the surface to vent the joy in its heart.

"Giant Whale Kun, I should give you a name first!"

Although he had no talent for naming, Li Zhangsheng felt that naming a Demon Pet could improve the bond between them.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhangsheng asked in a consultative tone: "How about I call you Datou? What do you think of this name?"

Li Zhangsheng followed his old rule, this time basing the name on the Giant Whale Kun's appearance.

However, in the spirit of democracy, if the Giant Whale Kun truly disliked the name, he would change it at any time until the Giant Whale Kun was satisfied.

Ha—

The Giant Whale Kun opened its mouth and made a strange sound; having just been born, it naturally could not understand what Li Zhangsheng was saying, and naturally had no thoughts of objection.

Thus, the Giant Whale Kun's actions were taken by Li Zhangsheng as approval.

At this moment, using the mental channel with Datou, Li Zhangsheng pointed at the Crystal Spirit Beast Egg and asked: "Giant Whale Kun, did you hatch naturally? Or did you hatch because of the Crystal Spirit Beast Egg?"

"Fear! Fear!" A feeling of dread came from the Giant Whale Kun's consciousness, and at the same time, its gaze toward the Crystal Spirit Beast Egg was filled with terror, just like a mouse fearing a cat.

Li Zhangsheng had his answer.

Clearly, the Giant Whale Kun, still in its egg at the time, had sensed the aura of the Crystal Spirit Beast Egg, which had forced it out; otherwise, who knew how much longer it would have taken to hatch.

However, this was also a good thing!

Judging by the fact that the Giant Whale Kun did not show any negative states like congenital deficiency, it was likely that it had long reached the time to hatch, but for some reason, it had been unwilling to do so.

From another perspective, the life inside this Crystal Spirit Beast Egg was extremely excellent; its species was very likely higher than the Giant Whale Kun, perhaps even breaking through the category of Monarch Species.

"Should I use this Crystal Spirit Beast Egg to 'Intimidate' those unhatched Spirit Beast eggs?"

This thought suddenly surfaced in Li Zhangsheng's mind, but he quickly extinguished it.

If he really did that, the hatched Spirit Beasts would surely suffer from many congenital deficiencies, and there would even be a significant possibility of them dying prematurely after hatching.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng took the Fairy Illustrated Handbook out of his Space Ring and began to look up information about the Giant Whale Kun.

Giant Whale Kun: Ultra-giant Spirit Beast, gentle temperament, particularly outstanding strength, robust physique, thick-skinned and fleshy, excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, extremely fast underwater, can dive into ten thousand meters of deep sea, possesses the ability of Turning Rivers and Seas, the only flaw is that it can only be a living target on land.

Traits: Cloud-Covering Dark Clouds (Weather-type trait, it rains upon appearance, duration related to realm, simultaneously increases the power of Water Element skills while weakening Fire Element skills), Turning Rivers and Seas (when fighting in an underwater environment, significantly reduces the opponent's speed and agility, depending on the realms of both parties).

Basic Skills: Bite, Surfing, Mount Tai Pressing Down, Tail Whip, Water Column, Bounce, Water Ripple.

Advanced Skills: Destructive Impact, Water Curtain Technique, Towering Giant Wave, Giant Sound, Whirlpool, Leap.

In addition to these skills, Li Zhangsheng's Giant Whale Kun had also comprehended two types of Kun fish and one type of Peng bird Bloodline Inheritance Skill respectively.

Devour Heaven and Earth: Kun fish Bloodline Inheritance Skill, generates an extremely strong suction force to devour enemies, has miraculous effects on enemies much smaller in size.

Explosive Sound Wave: Kun fish Bloodline Inheritance Skill, uses terrifying, tangible sound waves to attack all enemies within 45°, including allies!

Wind Speed Aura: Peng bird Bloodline Inheritance Skill, can increase the speed of allied Demon Pets and ignore wind resistance, the extent of the increase depends on the Demon Pet's realm.

Among the two traits the Giant Whale Kun possessed, a weather-type trait like Cloud-Covering Dark Clouds had an extremely high cost-performance ratio and could effectively strengthen its power.

As for the Turning Rivers and Seas trait, although it had geographical limitations and could only function in water, its effect in water was extremely strong; even other Water Element Spirit Beasts would be greatly restricted.

There was no need to mention the Giant Whale Kun's skills; the key was those three Bloodline Inheritance Skills.

Bloodline Inheritance Skills originating from a Divine Beast were all very powerful; Devour Heaven and Earth and Explosive Sound Wave were both area-of-effect skills with immense power, the disadvantage being that they did not distinguish between friend and foe.

The one with the highest cost-performance ratio was naturally the Wind Speed Aura; this aura-type skill could effectively increase the strength of Demon Pets and was excellent in group battles.

At the same time, this was the fourth Demon Pet in Li Zhangsheng's possession with an aura-type skill, the previous three being the Light Vision Aura for daytime, the Dark Vision Aura for nighttime, and Adai's Life Aura.

The four different aura-type skills superimposed could effectively strengthen the combat power and survival ability of the Demon Pets; these were the most suitable skills for group battles.

However, as a Lower Rank 1st Grade, the Giant Whale Kun's aura could only cover a mere ten meters.

Judging from the Giant Whale Kun's traits and inheritance skills, it was very suitable for underwater combat; as long as it grew up smoothly, it could effectively make up for Li Zhangsheng's deficiency in underwater battlefields and become his water mount.

As for the Giant Whale Kun's flaws, Li Zhangsheng had also thought of a means to compensate for them: he just needed to fuse its two bloodlines into a Kunpeng bloodline.

In the backyard, Li Zhangsheng and the Giant Whale Kun spent a moment together before he picked it up.

With his arm strength, picking up the young Giant Whale Kun was very easy.

Dong dong—

Carrying the Giant Whale Kun, Li Zhangsheng knocked on Ning Bizhen's door.

The Spirit Beast egg that hatched the Giant Whale Kun was a gift from Ning Bizhen; since it had hatched, Li Zhangsheng naturally had to tell her, and by the way, properly "repay" her.

With no way to repay her, he could only repay her with his body!

Zhi ya—

Ning Bizhen opened the door, and upon discovering it was Li Zhangsheng, she glanced suspiciously at the Giant Whale Kun in his arms, then welcomed him inside.

Ning Bizhen's temporary boudoir was very clean, which could be described as spotless, though it lacked any superfluous decorations.

Looking at the big-headed fish with miniature wings in Li Zhangsheng's arms, Ning Bizhen did not recognize it for a moment.

"Zhangsheng, is this a Demon Pet you just tamed?"

"Three months ago, didn't you give me a Spirit Beast egg? It hatched, so I brought it over!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng casually placed the Giant Whale Kun on the floor.

The Giant Whale Kun lay on the ground like a salted fish, flopping from time to time, trying hard to make its presence felt.

"It's good that it hatched!"

Ning Bizhen revealed a joyful smile and couldn't help but touch the Giant Whale Kun's big head.

The Giant Whale Kun wanted to get away, but on land, it had no mobility at all, so in the end, it could only let Ning Bizhen pet it.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng squatted beside Ning Bizhen and introduced the information about the Giant Whale Kun.

Ning Bizhen did not feel much surprise at the excellence of the Giant Whale Kun.

According to common sense, since the first Fairy Egg hatched a Cold Jade Rabbit, the second Fairy Egg likely wouldn't be bad either; this was within her expectations.

At the same time, Ning Bizhen had no regrets; she was an optimistic and open-minded person, and since she had already given it away, she had no thoughts of regret, let alone when the person she gave it to was the one she cared about most.

Furthermore, compared to her Three-Legged Fire Crow, the Giant Whale Kun was inevitably still a bit inferior.

"Bizhen, I'll show you something good!"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out the excess Shadow Wood Fruit pulp, grabbed a portion, and fed it directly to the Giant Whale Kun lying on the ground.

Ning Bizhen looked at it curiously for a few moments, but because only the pulp remained, she naturally couldn't recognize it.

"What is this?"

"Shadow Wood Fruit pulp, these are all for you!"

Ning Bizhen did not take them, instead asking: "Have your Demon Pets all eaten?"

"Yes, they have all eaten!"

"Then I will accept them!"

Having received Li Zhangsheng's reply, Ning Bizhen then took the pulp with peace of mind, preparing to let her Demon Pets consume it later.

"By the way, there's also this!"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out the Jade Box containing five Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls and handed it to Ning Bizhen.

As soon as the Jade Box was opened, it emitted a brilliant seven-colored radiance, forming the colors of a rainbow.

"This, could this be the Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls!"

After all, she was the existence Li Zhangsheng called an 'encyclopedia'; Ning Bizhen took one look and recognized the Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls.

"No, I cannot accept this!"

Ning Bizhen hurriedly declined, her expression showing no pretense at all, even though the Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls could allow her to successfully advance to the Sixth Rank.

She was just that kind of person who liked to think of others; this was also the part of her that moved Li Zhangsheng the most.

Ning Bizhen smoothed her slightly messy dark hair and continued: "It might not be of much use to you now, but when you become a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, this thing can have a great effect. If you are lucky, you might even be able to produce five Lord-level Demon Pets!"

Possessing five Lord-level Demon Pets was equivalent to having one foot across the threshold of the Sixth Rank.

"Bizhen, this thing doesn't have that much use for me. You know that my Giant Whale Kun and Crowned Blazing Flame Bird are both Top-tier Exotic Beasts; they will definitely be able to become Lord-level Demon Pets. As for the other Demon Pets, reaching the Lord-level is also a matter of course; giving it to them would be a waste.

You should just accept it; as long as you advance to the Sixth Rank, you can better protect my safety and also become a high-level member of the Academy, so I can bask in your glory too, right!"

Li Zhangsheng was different from ordinary Monster Tamers; the Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls were of no great use to him.

There was no helping it; his Demon Pets were simply too excellent, and they could evolve from time to time, so it was not difficult for them to become Lord-level.

Ning Bizhen was different; her Three-Legged Fire Crow and Cold Jade Rabbit were indeed both excellent, but the others were quite inferior, and if she was unlucky, it might take several years to meet the conditions for advancing to the Sixth Rank.

Ning Bizhen fell into hesitation; she felt that what Li Zhangsheng said also made a lot of sense.

"Alright, but I only need two!"

Ning Bizhen was finally persuaded, but she only took two Seven-Colored Profound Dome Pearls; she was still two Lord-level Demon Pets away from being able to advance to the Sixth Rank.

"Everything is finished, so I will cultivate here tonight!"

Li Zhangsheng recalled the Giant Whale Kun and shamelessly sat on Ning Bizhen's bed; he wanted to experience the feeling of 'dual cultivation' with her in Ning Bizhen's boudoir.

"Mm!"

Ning Bizhen blushed and did not refuse, her voice barely audible.

So today is the Lantern Festival; I wish all book friends, authors, and editors good health and may everything go as you wish!

Today's goal: Three, pigs, proof!
