CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 514: ONCE AGAIN, A CHORUS OF "WOW

After tidying up the whole day, by the time Qian Qi came to his senses, the magical beasts in the Vegetable Garden Dungeon had all fallen asleep, including the Poisonous Emperor Pythons, whose bulging bellies awaited the digestion of the energy within the dragon meat.

Qian Ba was even more deeply asleep, sprawled on his back, occasionally letting out a snort in his dreams.

Meanwhile, the indigenous magical beasts in the instance tiptoed to surround the Fire Stream Dragon’s carcass, picking at the scraps of meat. Under their feet, dragon blood flowed like a stream over the golden land, staining a large area with a bright red hue.

The land soaked in dragon blood seemed to rejuvenate, causing the golden green grass to grow wildly. Eventually, fruits formed heavily, dropping to the ground and rolling into piles at lower spots.

Qian Qi picked one up and analyzed it, instantly impressed at what he saw.

[Name: Epic Level Dragon Blood Induced Golden Sun Fruit

Belongs to Magic Plants: Golden Sun Grass

Rank: A-level

Effect: Can enhance fire element attack for A-level and below Earth Element magical beasts, or enhance earth element attack for Fire Element magical beasts

Market Price: 30,000,000 yuan each]

"The Flame Dog has pure fire element attacks, so if it eats this fruit, it can gain additional earth element attacks?" Qian Qi was very curious about how this worked, so she pocketed a Golden Sun Fruit, planning to test it on Ah Tu at the school.

She had previously analyzed Golden Sun Grass, which is a type of magic plant that grows specifically on extremely fertile Golden Sun land and helps maintain its fertility. The analysis mentioned that Golden Sun Grass can produce fruits, but it requires absorbing a large amount of energy, taking an extremely long time to do so. Now, nurtured by dragon blood, it bore fruit directly.

It seems the utility of epic-level magical beasts is indeed remarkable.

Thinking so, Qian Qi pocketed two more Golden Sun Fruits.

Glancing at the sleeping magical beasts, she got up and left the instance, heading towards Awakener University.

She brought Ah Tu to Beast Square, a large area with stone pillars for training magical beasts, serving as an ideal place for Ah Tu to evolve.

Many people noticed Qian Qi and came over to greet her. Upon hearing about the experiment to evolve Ah Tu into an A-level Flame Dog, the students exchanged looks and suddenly dashed away.

Qian Qi scratched her head, "Did they get scared away?"

Thinking about it, the attack power of an A-level magical beast is indeed terrifyingly strong, so it’s normal for these fragile students to flee in fright.

Finding a spacious spot, Qian Qi passed a dragon scale to Ah Tu. The system said this piece of dragon scale was enough to make Ah Tu evolve into an A-level beast, but the effect of the dragon scale was too intense, and Ah Tu might suffer some hardship.

Without hesitation, Ah Tu swallowed the dragon scale. At first, nothing happened, but soon, as the dragon scale started to take effect, Ah Tu began howling in pain, rolling on the ground, almost fainting.

[Don’t let it pass out!] the system reminded, [If it faints, it will be counterattacked by the dragon scale, not only failing to evolve but possibly even dying!]

Qian Qi immediately hugged Ah Tu determinedly, "Ah Tu! Stay strong! If you make it through, you’ll be the first A-level Flame Dog in the world!"

"Think about how you’ll lord over those B-level Flame Dogs! Think about how that bunch of female Flame Dogs will swoon over your charm! Think about how you can father many, many A-level Flame Dogs in the future——!"

Hearing this, Ah Tu’s canine eyes brightened considerably.

Ah Tu didn’t have grand ambitions in life, only enjoying posturing in front of its kind.

It strained to keep its body upright, enduring the magma-like pain in its belly. Its limbs felt seared as if being seared, and it breathed heavily, straining through the pain, while silently whimpering through gritted fangs encouraged by Qian Qi’s words.

The beast’s body was gradually transforming.

The large canine body began to expand visibly. The long fangs protruding from its snout gradually receded, black fur covered the backs of its ears, its orange-red fur turned a brilliant red, the mane around its neck and the fur on its lower legs replaced by rich white, and its belly grew a coat of fur golden on the outside and white within.

Whenever it opened its canine eyes, one could vaguely see golden beast pupils, resembling a scorching sun, making it difficult to look directly at.

Halfway through the evolution, Ah Tu began losing control, starting to release its fire element. Initially, a bright yellow flame burned on its body, but soon the flame transitioned to white. Nearby fire hydrants began melting and spraying, and the air temperature distorted.

Even Qian Qi felt a surge of heat, her skin felt like it was igniting.

Yet the flames seemed unsatisfied with this, faintly trending towards blue, but as the golden magic armor gradually formed, these blue flames were being consumed, leaving only a faint outer layer of light blue, almost invisible unless examined closely.

Originally, the magic armor only covered the vulnerable parts of its body, but now it spread over its entire body, even encasing its skull, sprouting two beast horns resembling "dragon horns" that swirled upwards and back, faintly flowing with golden light.

All over its body, only a pair of cold, ruthless golden beast eyes remained visible, the pupils moving, with its canine mouth releasing a high-temperature steam, forcing Qian Qi to leap back.

With this jump, when she looked up again, she saw the small fingerprint she had left on Ah Tu’s leg armor, a tiny, adorable imprint.

Now Ah Tu’s state began to stabilize, the clean water from underground pipes gushed out, evaporating silently before reaching it, seemingly forming a natural barrier, preventing any rain from touching it.

It exhaled another turbid breath, its majestic, detached beast eyes gaining a touch of mature stability. Its right paw scratched a few claw marks on the ground, its mouth full of canine teeth retracting and extending sharp fangs at will.

Watching for a moment, Qian Qi thought to herself: Ah Tu has become handsome, beyond her reach now.

The next second.

Ah Tu let out a graceless "yue", its whole body undulating like a snake trying to eject an elephant, its belly flipping slightly. It then coughed out a dragon scale from its throat.

Qian Qi bent down to pick it up, noting that the pattern of the dragon scale still emitted plenty of golden energy. She squeezed the dragon scale forcefully, trying to crush it with all her might, yet the dragon scale remained unscathed.

The system sidled up, poking its panel corner to confirm, [It’s just trash, but it can be used to make an S-level Defense Armor.]

Upon hearing this, Qian Qi carefully tucked the dragon scale into her pocket.

It was only then that she noticed, unbeknownst to her, the surroundings of Beast Square were filled with people. Excited students peeked their heads out, careless about their sweat-soaked bodies. Seeing Ah Tu calm down, they jostled over excitedly.

"Qian Qi, did Ah Tu successfully evolve?"

"So impressive! It’s about three meters tall now, isn’t it?!"

"Wow, a complete Beast Armor! Wow, a Fire Dragon Long Tail! Wow, fully automatic retractable canine teeth——!"

Seeing so many people praising it, Ah Tu couldn’t help but lift its canine head higher, looking increasingly majestic. Its tail ablaze with white flame swaying through the sky, scattering sparks like fireworks, exceptionally beautiful and brilliant.

Another round of "wows" rose up.
