Chapter 622: Low Profile, Must Keep a Low Profile (First Update, Seeking Everything)

Aixi's body was covered in pale cyan Wind Element energy; the gale raged around it, yet it was constrained within a certain range, ensuring that Li Changsheng and the other Demon Pets in the backyard remained unaffected.

At this moment, signs of success seemed to appear on Aixi.

The pale cyan Wind Element energy surged violently, transforming into a cyan wind dragon dozens of meters long that coiled around Aixi layer by layer, making it difficult to see the scene inside.

Boom—

This scene did not last long; within a few breaths, the wind dragon condensed from Wind Element energy suddenly shattered, turning into tiny wind dragons that burrowed into Aixi's body from every part.

In an instant, Aixi swelled up like a balloon, looking just like a fat white tiger.

During the digestion process, Aixi gradually returned to normal as if pricked by a needle, only its size was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its aura was climbing sharply.

Li Changsheng revealed a look of anticipation; judging from Aixi's phenomenon, it seemed to have broken through the threshold of the Mystery, which was why such a change occurred.

If it continued to persist, Aixi would very likely break through to the Demon King level.

But to no avail, Aixi's momentum stopped abruptly, and the Wind Element energy on its body dissipated, vanishing into the air.

Aixi opened its tiger eyes in anger and let out an angry roar toward the sky.

Not far away, the anticipation on Li Changsheng's face turned into disappointment, but he still began to check Aixi's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Savage Winged Tiger (Growth Stage. Incomplete Mystery, slightly enhances skill power; Incomplete Mystery Guard: exempts a small portion of damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Pseudo-Demon King level

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Half-Step Epic (Not as good as the best, but better than the rest; it will definitely be able to break through to the 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

"Pseudo-Demon King level!"

After reading Aixi's data, Li Changsheng turned to reveal a smile; he did not expect that after Xu Wenhua, he too had encountered this low-probability event of possessing a Pseudo-Demon King level Demon Pet.

The Pseudo-Demon King level is also known as the Half-Step Demon King level; simply put, it means Aixi broke through the threshold of the Mystery but lacked the remaining strength to completely shatter it, which is why such a scene occurred.

Generally speaking, after breaking the threshold of the Mystery, Aixi's consciousness would gain the Profound Mystery Amplification, and it would have a high probability of mustering the remaining strength to break the threshold.

Unfortunately, Aixi did not manage to do so.

Even so, it had ultimately comprehended a portion of the Mystery, though both the Profound Mystery Amplification and the Mystery Guard were weakened versions, making it equivalent to half a Demon King level Demon Pet.

Of course, the benefits were also significant; a Pseudo-Demon King level Demon Pet no longer has a bottleneck and can use the partially comprehended Mystery to improve its level of comprehension, often being able to completely break the threshold of the Mystery in a short time to become a true Demon King level Demon Pet.

Although the Pseudo-Demon King level is somewhat awkward, it ultimately strengthened Aixi's various abilities; with Aixi's current strength, it is not an exaggeration to call it a Demon King level Demon Pet.

However, combat power is combat power, and realm is realm; on the surface, Li Changsheng only possesses two Half-Demon King level Demon Pets.

This is also very rare; in this world, only a very small number of people become Pseudo-Kings in one step when advancing to the Sixth Rank, and there are probably few in all of history who have obtained two Half-Demon King level Demon Pets at once, and almost all of them are second-generation Emperors or second-generation Sovereigns.

The second-generation Emperors and second-generation Sovereigns here refer to the direct descendants of Emperors and Sovereigns, not so-called earthly monarchs; the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

But Aixi was still extremely unwilling; what it was unwilling about was that as Li Changsheng's Life-Bound Demon Pet, it had actually fallen a step behind, which was simply an unforgivable thing.

Although Aixi felt that it could be mentioned in the same breath as the Crowned Flame Bird, and even defeat it in battle, it knew very well that it was no match for Kailan.

In fact, taking a step back, even if Aixi reached the Demon King level, it would likely not be a match for Kailan; after all, Kailan's quality, race, and bloodline were all above its own.

What Aixi did not know was that Li Changsheng had already gathered the materials to refine a Fire Element Demigod; once refined, Aixi would likely be in trouble again.

Li Changsheng hovered in mid-air, patted Aixi's big head, and began to bluff.

"Aixi, you are completely different from them; you relied on your own efforts to comprehend a portion of the Mystery, which is already a very rare thing. Look at Adai, Baitan, and Heiye; they gained nothing. If even you are so depressed, wouldn't they have no face to see anyone? So I hope you can cheer up, encourage their morale, and fulfill the duties of a leader."

Aixi was no leader; this was entirely Li Changsheng bluffing it. After all, you cannot expect the combative and tsundere Aixi to become a qualified leader.

If one were to talk about a leader, it would only be Kailan; she is the most responsible and diligent of the many Demon Pets, and by holding multiple roles, she has become the strongest Demon Pet in Li Changsheng's hands.

However, under Li Changsheng's bluffing, Aixi instantly cheered up; people are afraid of comparison, and Demon Pets are naturally no exception.

Aixi felt that what Li Changsheng said was very right; Kailan and the Crowned Flame Bird both had external objects to assist them in their breakthrough, unlike itself which relied entirely on its own. If it also had external objects to assist, it would inevitably reach the Demon King level just like them.

Besides that, Adai, Baitan, and Heiye, who also did not rely on external objects, all failed, unlike itself which could still comprehend a portion of the Mystery.

Comparing it this way, Aixi's mood instantly improved, feeling wonderful inside; the previous disappointment was gone, and it turned to start actively comforting Adai, Baitan, and Heiye.

Seeing Aixi's appearance, Li Changsheng shook his head; after more than a year of being together, how could he not know Aixi's little thoughts? This was also the main reason why he could always lead Aixi around by the nose.

However, Li Changsheng also had things he was unhappy about; even though Aixi comprehended a portion of the Mystery, it could not give him any feedback, and naturally, he could not continue to increase the number of Jade Bones.

"Perhaps this is the rule of this world."

Li Changsheng muttered to himself, then turned to start thinking about his current combat power.

Although he only had two Half-Demon King level Demon Pets, Kailan was of Epic quality and a High-Level Monarch race; dealing with two ordinary Demon King level Demon Pets alone was no problem at all, just like how Liu Xuguang's Epic Dragon Python could contend with the Superior Quality Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast and the Superior Quality Four-Winged Angel.

Compared to that Epic Dragon Python, Kailan's race was clearly higher, and its strength was naturally much stronger; Li Changsheng estimated that Kailan could even contend with three ordinary Demon King level Demon Pets without falling into a disadvantage.

Besides Kailan, the Crowned Flame Bird could be considered an excellent Demon King level Demon Pet, and Aixi was no less than the Crowned Flame Bird, so it could be calculated the same way.

Li Changsheng began to compare with Ning Bizhen; the Crowned Flame Bird and Aixi could offset Ning Bizhen's Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast and Cold Jade Rabbit, and could even have a slight upper hand, while Kailan could almost unilaterally crush the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

Converting it this way, Li Changsheng's strength was even above Ning Bizhen's, roughly about the same as Zuo Qiulin of the Tiantai Sect.

Having been a Supreme Elder of the Tiantai Sect for decades, Zuo Qiulin held most of the Tiantai Sect's resources in his hands, so the quality of his Demon Pets could be imagined; coupled with the rich experience brought by his advanced age, he was enough to rank in the top three among the many Pseudo-Kings in the Langya Kingdom.

Regarding the fact that he was now stronger than Ning Bizhen, Li Changsheng felt there was nothing to be proud of.

There was no help for it; Ning Bizhen was a fairly traditional woman. In their time together, she had always followed his lead. Even though she was clearly stronger than Li Changsheng before, she had never been overbearing, instead playing the role of the weaker one.

Just like now, Ning Bizhen wore an unstoppable smile, appearing even happier than Li Changsheng.

"My combat power can roughly be ranked fifth to seventh on the Hundred Battles Ranking; I can unilaterally crush Dou Yuanbin, Liu Xuguang, and Liu Zongtang!"

Li Changsheng felt secretly delighted; if these three arch-enemies knew his current strength, they would likely show an expression as if their own mothers had died.

It was just that although his strength was greater, it was limited; furthermore, Pseudo-Kings were inherently durable. In a one-on-one, it was more likely to just repel them, as killing them was very difficult.

Li Changsheng shook his head, having no intention of showing off for the time being.

Keep a low profile, must keep a low profile!

Otherwise, being too high-profile might invite unpredictable disasters.

"Right, it is still unclear what kind of inheritance Kailan obtained this time?"

Because he had just been concerned with the breakthroughs of his other Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng forgot to ask about the Sprite King Bloodline inheritance Kailan obtained during this evolution.

Very quickly, Kailan transmitted a piece of information.

In this evolution, Kailan's traits did not change, and he only obtained two Bloodline Inheritance Skills.

Life Sanction: A Sprite King inheritance skill that creates a large number of blood-sucking vines to bind the opponent while draining their life force to heal one's own injuries. Note: Ineffective against non-living entities.

Blink: A Sprite King inheritance skill that allows for Instant Movement over a certain distance. Note: The teleportation distance mainly depends on one's realm.

These are two more highly cost-effective Sprite King inheritance skills; among them, Life Sanction is simply a combination of Burrowing Vine and life absorption, and there is no need to even mention Blink, which provides an extra layer of security for Kailan.

"Time to go back to sleep; tomorrow we will refine a Fire Element Semi-Artifact together!"

Li Zhangsheng did not recall his Demon Pets and returned to the bedroom while holding Ning Bizhen.

However, they had only just lain down for a short while when an alarm suddenly rang out; this was a device Li Zhangsheng had specifically installed in the front courtyard, which Lin Wan and her daughter would use to alert him whenever there was an important matter.

"You go to sleep first, I will go see what happened."

Li Zhangsheng said this to Ning Bizhen, and as he got out of bed, the clothes on the table floated up and automatically put themselves on him.

Li Zhangsheng arrived at the front courtyard, and besides Lin Wan and her daughter, he also saw Li Jingyi with an anxious look on her face.

"Jingyi, it's so late, is there something you need from me?"

Li Jingyi said at a very fast speed: "I just received news that a large number of unknown enemies are attempting to invade the clan, we need your help!"

Li Jingyi, Li Runfeng, Li Tianyu, Li Wanru, and other members of the Li Clan will take turns guarding the Teleportation Array established in the Academy, and the related expenses will be paid by the Li Family.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verify!
