Chapter 149 - 148: War Apostle
Feeling the increasing vitality within his body, Bai Qi instantly felt a spark of excitement.
The Evolution Egg required physical and mental energy, and the Jade Breath swiftly replenished his strength. With both powering him, wouldn’t his fitness level be pushed to its current maximum in no time?
As long as he casually captured hundreds of pets and filled up his progress, Bai Qi felt that he could become a Legend before the end of the training camp!
Just as he thought, he acted.
Bai Qi looked at the Silver Egg of the Husky, ensuring that everything was alright, before also putting one on Alpha. He then followed the principle of not wasting anything and immediately put on a few more.
Just as Bai Qi had anticipated, the vitality depleted by the Evolution Egg was instantly replenished by the Jade Breath. He could feel a surge of unprecedented power flowing within him, providing a thrilling sensation.
At this moment, Bai Qi wanted to shout out, “I am invincible, do whatever you want!”
Just then, Nicholas suddenly stopped.
Bai Qi, who was relishing the quick enhancement of his physical condition, looked at Nicholas somewhat discontentedly and asked, “Why did you stop?”
Nicholas collapsed on the ground with no semblance of dignity, then grabbed some nutritional supplements and stuffed them in his mouth. “You think using a Super Skill is easy? I need to control the intensity of the energy to avoid killing you. I’m not doing this tiring work ever again,” he said.
Hearing Nicholas’ explanation, Bai Qi slightly pursed his lips in disdain.
The young dragons of nowadays lacked a hardworking and patient spirit. It was just a Super Skill; Alpha used it daily as if it was no big deal.
Clatter?
(“Master, it seems you have misunderstood something.”)
As the vitality brought by the Jade Breath slowly permeated within him and the invincible feeling gradually faded, the aftereffects of mental exhaustion became evident.
He had almost forgotten that the Silver Egg used mental energy as well. The consumption might not be as severe as the physical depletion, but with him being immersed in the rapid improvement of his physical state, he had not noticed it. But now that he had calmed down, something felt off.
Bai Qi ate two Angel Fruits to temporarily alleviate the feeling of emptiness due to the depletion of his mental energy. He then sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
Whether it was the Angel Fruit or any other nutritional supplement and potion sold in the market, it could only directly regenerate physical energy. As for regenerating mental energy, they could only accelerate the recovery. The replenishment effect, if there was any, was minuscule.
After all, this wasn’t a game where one could go around the world just by relying on health and mana potions.
Hmm, it seemed he would have to find a pet that could replenish mental energy.
It seemed like the Blue Dragon in the Dragon Race ranked highly on the mental power scale, right?
Four hours swiftly passed by, and a crack appeared precisely on time on the Silver Egg of the Husky. Bai Qi immediately stopped meditating and fixed his eyes on the Silver Egg.
The fissure expanded, and dazzling Evolution Light spilled out from it. It was accompanied by a series of thundering and volcanic eruption-like rumbling sounds, which quickly turned into melodious wolf howls. Bai Qi felt his heart pound uncontrollably, to the point where he wished he could immediately engage in a fight.
At that moment, countless pieces of information once again entered Bai Qi’s mind.
[Skill Name]: Demonic Roar
[Skill Level): High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Thunder, Flame, Spirit. It has the roar of Thunder and the Blaze Intimidation that can impose deterrence on the enemy, remove the negative state of its own spirit, and temporarily boost its fight power.
[Skill Name]: Thunder Flame Power
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Thunder, Flame. It combined the destructive power of Thunder Power with the blasting ability of Blast Power to possess the purest destructive power. The best defense is a good offense.
Wow, was there even a war cry skill?
Bai Qi’s eyes glistened. Although the Demonic Roar from Husky was a variant of the deterrence type of skills, just like Alfa’s dragon prestige, it was far superior in functionality.
Even though the deterrence ability might not be as powerful and comprehensive as Dragon Prestige, it could remove negative mental states. Furthermore, it could boost combat power temporarily. This was an absolute army buff.
If he encountered a Beast Master like Gu Shan who could summon double the number of pets, while partnering with this skill, wouldn’t they be invincible in combat!
He just wasn’t sure if it would have a counterproductive effect on Alpha. After all, it seemed like both Thunderbolt and Blast were quite counterproductive to the Undead Department.
After going through the Demonic Roar’s information, Bai Qi saw the Thunder Flame Power and suddenly felt somewhat disinterested.n
Originally, the Husky had already mastered these two powers. Combining these two pure distractive skills would certainly raise their power. However, compared to Demonic Roar, it still was not as comprehensive.
Crack!
The Silver Egg split open, revealing a large hole. A silvery-grey fluid flowed out of the egg, passing by Bai Qi as if it had a life of its own before spreading rapidly to the surroundings.
“My flowers!”
Seeing this, Nicholas instantly screamed out in pain and was just about to stop the silvery-grey fluid when the fluid suddenly changed direction, streaming up into the air and solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Bai Qi had a feeling of what was happening, and the information that entered his mind once again proved him right.
[Skill Name]: Mechanical Lord
[Skill Level]: Super Level
[Skill Introduction]: Skill of Mechanical, able to mimic any mechanical creation freely.
The explanation was simple and succinct. It seemed as if this wasn’t even a Super Skill. However, Bai Qi was delighted.
To freely mimic any mechanical creation, was, of course, the ability brought about by Etherium Liquid Gold. It certainly had to do with the fact that Husky had memorized a large number of mechanical blueprints in advance. However, this was not the main value of this skill.
One man was an army!
With this skill, Husky could thoroughly break free from the limitations of a Mechanical Beast: the stronger it was, the larger its size. As long as Husky was willing, it could switch freely between various weapons, and judging by the current situation, it seemed it could solidify several small turrets at once without any problem.
Only, when using this skill in future battles, he mustn’t allow Beta to take control.
Watching the giant double-headed wolf statue gradually form overhead, Bai Qi couldn’t help but twitch at the sight.
This kind of action, it had to be the work of that fool Beta, no one else could’ve done this.
Howl…
Finally, behind a melodious howl, the Silver Egg completely cracked open, and a towering double-headed giant wolf slowly emerged.
Nearly four meters in length, its silver-gray body shimmering with a metallic luster, red and blue energy currents occasionally flashing across its body. There was no longer any trace of the Arctic Ice Wolf.
Seeing Husky’s transformation, Bai Qi couldn’t resist asking, “Have you guys fully transformed into the Mechanical Species?”
“Not exactly, we just thought it looked cool.”
Um…
Is this the rational wolf, Schuck, that I know?
“If you, Beast Master, don’t like it, I can retract it.”
Seeing the surprise on Bai Qi’s face, Schuck quickly retrieved the Etherium Liquid Gold covering his whole body, revealing Husky’s signature black and white fur.
Um, because of the evolution to Lord level, its original forelimbs have been restored?
Probably also due to the Evolution Egg.
Looking at the Husky in front of him, who now, except for an additional metallic wolf head, bore very little difference from the Arctic Ice Wolf, Bai Qi nodded and said, “From now on, keep this shape unless in battle.”
Although the Mechanical Wolf looked cool, it was a bit too cold.
After all, if you want to pet a dog, it should be warm and furry.
However, for battle, having a metallic body does have some advantages, at least considerably increasing the defence capabilities.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Human, where’s that smelly bone? I want to have a go at it!)
Beta, who had also regained consciousness, was clearly eager to get moving, constantly looking for Alpha.
Bai Qi pointed at Alpha, who was draped with five Silver Eggs, and said, “Wait. It hasn’t finished hatching.”
Howl!
(Aha, this stinky bone must be hiding because it sensed my strength!)
Seeing Beta’s smug face, Bai Qi was speechless. He then placed both hands on Husky’s two skulls.
[Name]: ??? (Schuck, Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Species, Wolf Species (Spiritual Mutation)
[Growth Level]: Third tier, Level 2
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Racial Skills]: Perception (Mid-Level, Awakened), Mechanical Lord (Super Level, Proficient), Demonic Roar (High Level, Beginner), Thunder Flame Power (High Level, Master), Soul Whisper (High Level, Master)
[Energy Value]: 2348000
[Condition]: Evolvable
“There’s still no race name…”
Bai Qi squinted at Husky’s increasingly streamlined skill bar.
The original Blast Strengthening and Blast Claw are gone, which he expected having integrated into Thunder Flame Power.
As for Current Resistance, Etherium Liquid Gold had substantial resistance to various energies, probably absorbed by the Mechanical Lord.
However, the Perception skill brought him some surprise.
“Did it just awaken like this?”
Bai Qi smiled, pleased. While the skills were scarce, they were the essence.
Just one Mechanical Lord was enough for Husky to operate. Paired with Demonic Roar and Thunder Flame Power, it would be a reliable damage dealer.
Bai Qi estimated that if it came to pure damage output, Alpha may not be a match for Husky now.
That silly dog, it finally stood firm!
Bai Qi patted Husky’s head and said, “Since it’s a fresh evolution again, let’s give you another name.”
Woof woof?
(A new name? I’ve thought of one
“Shut up!”
Bai Qi elegantly Ignored Beta’s words, pondered for a moment, and said, “One Man Army… well, let’s call you War Apostle!”
Woof woof?
(Apostle? I refuse! It sounds like a henchman’s name!)
Schuck sighed, looked at Bai Qi, and said, “War Apostle, Beast Master, your ambition seems a bit grand…”
Bai Qi shrugged, “It’s fair enough, the Mechanical Species originated from war, didn’t it?”
“It seems so.”
Schuck nodded. The double-headed wolf sculpture on his head turned back into a liquid and quickly flowed back onto Schuck’s body, but the volume did not change much.
“The extension is good, but who knows how it holds up in actual combat.”
Bai Qi glanced unconsciously at the lounging Nicholas by his side, and then at Alpha, who was still hatching, and had no choice but to suppress his urge to test Husky.
He would have to wait until tomorrow to find someone else for a trial run…
