Chapter 470: Aixi's Transformation Once More (Combined Chapter, Requesting Everything)

The Spirit Essence of the Thunder Cloud Storm Tiger still lacked one final step; as long as the Advanced Dissolving Agent was added to remove the excess high-level bloodlines, it could be thoroughly purified into White Tiger Bloodline.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out the materials for making the Advanced Dissolving Agent, which included seven Advanced Demon Hearts.

Among these seven hearts, five came from yesterday's Demon Tide; at that time, Li Zhangsheng had killed seven Advanced Demons, but since he had killed the latter four in cooperation with others, he naturally could only obtain a portion of the spoils.

Li Zhangsheng summoned Kailan for her to produce the Advanced Dissolving Agent.

Compared to the "clumsy" Li Zhangsheng, Kailan's success rate in production was clearly higher; she could likely produce about thirty vials of Advanced Dissolving Agent.

The auxiliary materials for the Advanced Dissolving Agent were also very expensive; the auxiliary materials for the seven Advanced Demon Hearts had cost Li Zhangsheng a full 20,000 Soul Crystals.

Kailan produced the Advanced Dissolving Agent with practiced ease, and in just over half an hour, she had produced a total of 34 vials of Advanced Dissolving Agent, with a yield rate even higher than expected.

These Advanced Dissolving Agents were enough to satisfy his needs for a period of time.

"You've worked hard, Kailan!" Li Zhangsheng carefully wiped the sweat from Kailan's face.

"It was no trouble!"

Kailan shook her head and flew silently into the corner of the room, not disturbing Li Zhangsheng further.

After the preparations were complete, Li Zhangsheng began the final purification.

Li Zhangsheng drank a Vision Potion, and his vision immediately changed, allowing him to see the imprints of the two bloodlines.

These were a top-tier bloodline and a high-level bloodline respectively; the high-level bloodline belonged to an unactivated bloodline, and both its quantity and quality were far inferior to the White Tiger Bloodline.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng poured a vial of Advanced Dissolving Agent into the container.

The Advanced Dissolving Agent began to take effect, slowly wrapping around a portion of the high-level bloodline imprint and beginning to dissolve it; eventually, small bubbles emerged from the viscous Spirit Essence, emitting wisps of gas.

By the time Li Zhangsheng poured in another vial of Advanced Dissolving Agent, he had finally stripped away all of the high-level bloodline.

With this, only the Pure White Tiger Spirit Essence remained, blooming with intense golden radiance, as wisps of blood filaments floated up and transformed into a miniature White Tiger phantom.

This time, Li Zhangsheng obtained two bowls of White Tiger Spirit Essence, with a purification rate that reached exactly 20%, not only filling the Jade Ceramic Jar but also leaving enough for two extra test tubes.

Aixi stepped forward impatiently, its black nose twitching as it stared fixedly at the White Tiger Spirit Essence, giving the impression that it was drooling with desire.

"Aixi, once you finish this, you will become even stronger!"

Li Zhangsheng's tone was filled with excitement; if Aixi's White Tiger Bloodline advanced further, its strength would surely increase significantly.

Roar~

Aixi let out a joyful cry. After Li Zhangsheng opened the lid of the Jade Ceramic Jar, it impatiently opened its large mouth, and like a whale drinking water, the White Tiger Spirit Essence transformed into a thick line of blood and fell into Aixi's open mouth.

Aixi gulped several times before swallowing all of the White Tiger Spirit Essence.

The White Tiger Spirit Essence quickly took effect, gradually merging into Aixi's blood and rapidly increasing the concentration of White Tiger Bloodline within it.

Aixi lay on the ground, its entire body blooming with golden and cyan light; the blood within its body seemed to be boiling, and its massive tiger body expanded and contracted, filled with an unbearable itching sensation.

Aixi's body size did not change much, but the two bumps on its back began to grow larger and larger; within a few breaths, they transformed into two meat humps the size of human heads.

As time passed, these two meat humps continued to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Zhangsheng stepped back a few paces, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at the meat humps.

As long as the wings broke out of their cocoons, Aixi would complete its evolution.

Ssh-la~ Ssh-la~

A sound like tearing fabric rang out, and a pair of huge, snow-white feathered wings burst out from Aixi's back, with a wingspan of over ten meters.

It was also at this moment that a clear White Tiger phantom appeared in Aixi's Consciousness Sea.

Aixi, showing it was quite experienced, immediately pounced on it and devoured the White Tiger phantom in a few quick bites; its head swelled slightly, and it once again gained a portion of Bloodline Inheritance.

This transformation took Aixi over an hour; the cyan and gold radiance enveloping Aixi quickly retracted, revealing its increasingly elegant tiger body.

Roar~

Aixi raised its head and roared, its tiger eyes filled with majesty, and its massive tiger body shook, emitting a soul-stirring Pressure.

Crack~ Crack~

Under this powerful Pressure, the Breath Concealment Restriction began to feel as if it were collapsing.

Fortunately, before it collapsed, Li Zhangsheng, seeing the situation was dire, cast a Breath Concealment Secret Technique on Aixi, and the phenomenon of this evolution was finally not detected by outsiders.

Compared to before the evolution, Aixi's body length had not increased much, but its fur now had many more white stripes, and combined with its snow-white wings, its appearance was increasingly trending toward that of a White Tiger.

Li Zhangsheng immediately began to check Aixi's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Savage Winged Tiger (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: 7th Rank Commander

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic (Not quite the best, but better than the rest; certain to break through to Demon King level)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: White Tiger Bloodline (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind Element + Gold Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Thunder, Fire Element

Savage Winged Tiger: A large beast-type Spirit Beast, excelling in speed and attack, with relatively strong fur defense, extremely fast speed, long-lasting stamina, and extremely powerful bite force; once prey is bitten, it is very difficult to break free.

This time, Aixi's White Tiger Bloodline jumped from Pure to Rich, and it successfully evolved from a Savage Storm Tiger into a Savage Winged Tiger; the biggest change was naturally its race, which ascended from High-level Commander to High-Level Monarch, resulting in a significant increase in strength.

Additionally, Aixi possessed the ability to fly in the air, and its wings could also be folded, so its agility on the ground would hardly be affected much.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on Aixi's body, and its size rapidly shrank until it became the size of a kitten.

This was a skill Aixi had recently comprehended, and this was already its smallest form.

Aixi jumped up, and Li Zhangsheng hurriedly caught it; it was fortunate that Aixi's weight had decreased significantly, otherwise Li Zhangsheng feared he would have been pressed to the ground.

Li Zhangsheng immediately began to communicate with Aixi, and Aixi transmitted streams of information to him.

Aixi's traits remained unchanged; they were still the Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm traits.

However, it had inherited two Bloodline Inheritance Skills.

One is Law of Heaven and Earth, which can freely change size, mainly depending on Aixi's realm; at Aixi's Leader-level realm, it can grow to a maximum of three times its original size, and at its smallest, it is the size of the cat it is now.

When the body size increases, strength can be said to rise with the tide, while agility will be affected; when the body size decreases, the opposite is true.

The other is White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique, a skill the White Tiger obtained by imitating the Golden Crow's Rainbow Transformation Technique; it has quite a similar effect, though it is ultimately inferior to the original in terms of speed.

In this way, even if I encounter that Balrog again, I imagine I won't need to use the Bloodline Burning Secret Technique to escape.

With one transformation and one escape, plus the displacement of Instant Flash and the single-target penetration of Gold-Breaking Jade-Shattering Gang, Aixi's methods are much richer than before.

Aixi lay quietly in Li Zhangsheng's arms, letting Li Zhangsheng stroke its little head; it remembered that such a scene could be traced back to half a year ago.

This night was naturally not peaceful; the news of Li Zhangsheng's Life-Bound Demon Pet burning its bloodline spread like wildfire, and it could be said that it spread throughout the entire Li Cheng Fortress overnight.

At the same time, those Yuanling Academy teachers and students who returned from missions came to visit one after another, but unfortunately, they were all rejected by Li Runfeng and Li Tianyu.

By the way, Li Jingyi also joined the ranks of those taking care of Li Zhangsheng.

……

The next morning, Li Zhangsheng woke up from his deep sleep; to avoid being discovered, he naturally did not practice the Four Symbols Star Monster Taming Art, otherwise, it would be too dazzling in the dark night, and the falling pillar of starlight would be easily noticed by others.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early morning, Li Zhangsheng deliberately made his complexion pale and his expression listless, and even internalized his Mental Power, looking just like he did yesterday.

However, he knew very well that in a place like Li Cheng Fortress, it was difficult to keep up the facade for long, so he decided to return to Yuanling Academy or Li Family Manor immediately to 'go into seclusion to heal' for a period of time, and by the way, settle down for a while to prepare for advancing to the Fifth Rank.

If he were a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, he wouldn't have had to burn Aixi's bloodline this time; after all, even if he couldn't win, he would have been very confident in escaping.

"What, you want to leave the fortress? This is a bit too rushed."

Regarding Li Zhangsheng's decision, the Li Family Three Heroes who were taking care of Li Zhangsheng were first startled, then thought of Aixi's 'injuries' and swallowed their extra words, expressing their understanding.

Aixi's 'injuries' were too severe; there was no need for Li Zhangsheng to linger in Li Cheng Fortress, as staying here was just a waste of time. His best destination was naturally Yuanling Academy; after all, Yuanling Academy could at least be ranked among the top five forces in Langya Kingdom.

Given Li Zhangsheng's importance to Yuanling Academy, he would definitely be valued by the high-level leadership of Yuanling Academy, and only then would there be hope of finding a way to cure Aixi's 'injuries'.

Li Jingyi was more attentive and couldn't help but ask: "Eh, where is Aixi?"

"I have recalled it; I can't let it endure the hardships of the journey. Fortunately, my Consciousness Sea was not shaken!"

Li Zhangsheng resisted the urge to rub the back of his head; there was no help for it, if you tell one lie, you have to use thousands of lies to cover it up.

Li Zhangsheng was also quite helpless, but there was no other way; he couldn't say that he had already recovered. If he did that, he might have to bear very serious consequences.

"How about this, we will escort you back!"

"No need to be so troublesome. Don't forget I still have a few Temporary Spirit Pets for protection; I can still handle ordinary petty thieves."

Li Zhangsheng shook his Mid-grade Monster Pet Bag; summoning a Temporary Spirit Pet does not require consuming Mental Power, as long as you open the Monster Pet Bag and move your mind.

Li Runfeng and the others thought it made sense. They had seen Li Zhangsheng's few Temporary Spirit Pets, among which the Light Blessing bird was even a Leader-level Demon Pet; even an ordinary Fourth-rank Demon Tamer would find it hard to beat these few Temporary Spirit Pets.

In this way, the matter of Li Zhangsheng returning to Yuanling Academy was settled.

To avoid being seen through, Li Zhangsheng naturally had no intention of staying here any longer.

"By the way, go and tell the others that I am leaving now. There is no time to lose, I will head back first. Take care, everyone."

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and summoned the Venomous Flying Dragon.

Why not ride the faster Light Blessing bird? It was mainly because he had another purpose: he wanted to see if Xiao Chi would chase after him.

Vice Governor Xiao Qing had specifically instructed yesterday that if Li Zhangsheng was ready to leave Li Cheng Fortress, he did not need to report it separately.

Within a few breaths, Li Zhangsheng rode the Venomous Flying Dragon and flew in the direction of Peng City.

"Slow down!"

After flying away from Li Cheng Fortress, Li Zhangsheng deliberately lowered the speed of the Venomous Flying Dragon. Although he was not sure if Xiao Chi would chase after him, he had to try it anyway; at worst, he would just waste an hour or two.

Time passed slowly, and more than an hour soon went by.

Suddenly, Li Zhangsheng's ears moved slightly, and he faintly heard the sound of wings flapping behind him.

Ever since he absorbed the Basalt Essence Blood, his hearing had improved a lot; even the slightest sound would be captured by him.

Because he was pretending to be sick, Li Zhangsheng naturally would not release his Mental Power. He deliberately waited for a few breaths before pretending to have discovered the movement and looked back.

Two or three hundred meters away, Xiao Chi was riding a majestic Purple Flame Li Fire Sparrow, rushing toward him at high speed.

"Finally lured out; it was worth all the effort I spent!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, but on the surface, he showed a panicked expression and shouted loudly: "May I ask if you are looking for me?"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng's panicked appearance, Xiao Chi couldn't help but feel smug. Thinking that the number one Heavenly Pride of Langya Kingdom was about to die at his hands, Xiao Chi felt full of smugness.

Li Zhangsheng had only spent half a year, yet his strength was already stronger than his own. Xiao Chi always felt that he had lived over fifty years in vain, and naturally felt extremely jealous.

In addition, the Third Prince Dou Yuanbin had offered an exceptionally generous reward, giving him a chance to go further.

In the eyes of those in high positions, a Heavenly Pride without a background should either be taken in as a dog or eliminated on the spot; there was almost no third option. This was also the main reason why Li Zhangsheng chose to rely on Yuanling Academy, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to achieve his current accomplishments so smoothly.

Most importantly, he wanted to probe Li Zhangsheng's secrets.

Li Zhangsheng had no astonishing family background, yet he achieved the Fourth Rank in only half a year; he must harbor astonishing secrets, which was Xiao Chi's main goal.

Strike while the iron is hot; Xiao Chi naturally could not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Li Zhangsheng, you are meeting your doom here today, it is in accordance with the will of Heaven!"

Xiao Chi sighed as if he were compassionate, but he tightened his control to command the Purple Flame Li Fire Sparrow to close the distance.

Thinking of the number one Heavenly Pride of Langya Kingdom about to die at his hands, and the many benefits after killing Li Zhangsheng, Xiao Chi felt a perverted ecstasy in his heart.

As the distance was constantly being closed, Li Zhangsheng feigned despair, which instead satisfied Xiao Chi's perverted psychology. However, he also knew that delays might lead to changes, so he wanted to capture Li Zhangsheng as soon as possible to pry into his secrets.
