Chapter 91: Red Prison Palace Master’s Final Form, Defying Heaven’s Evolution!!!
Time flew by.
Over 20 days had passed since the Academy League was…interrupted…
During this time, Lian Xing hadn’t returned to Youlan Academy. The week-long journey was too troublesome, and besides her clothes, she didn’t have anything valuable there anyway. She might as well just ask the Dean to dispose of them.
So, after bidding farewell to Tao Wan, Yu Bo, and the others, she stayed at the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters, enjoying royal treatment.
Not only was the president, the Six-Tailed Moon Fox, personally serving her tea and snacks, but there were also…stocking-clad maids…bathing and dressing her every day.
Silver Dragon and Tian Quan, however, had returned to their respective academies, dealing with their team and academy affairs. The three of them had agreed to meet in the Beast Tamer Association city three days before their trip to Qingyao Sea.
And, she had declined over 900 endorsement deals from various stocking brands…
Meanwhile—
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, at the tender age of 15, less than two months after her debut, had officially surpassed 500 million followers. And Youlan Academy, the fake powerhouse that had nurtured her, received over 100,000 enrollment applications for the following year, currently undergoing urgent expansion.
Incidentally, the daily snack allowance for the Heaven-Gracing Curtain, the Red Prison Palace Master, and Star Sand, was now five Commander-Tier crystals each. They had truly achieved crystal freedom… And Lian Xing had fulfilled her promise to Star Sand ten months early.
They had defeated a wild Royal-Tier pet beast together.
Finally, on the last day before their month-long deadline, the Red Prison Palace Master, after consuming a massive amount of Commander-Tier crystals every day, finally reached its evolution peak.
[Red Prison Palace Master LV60]
[Talent: Limit Heavy Metal]
[Arcane Art: Red Amber, Thunderclap, Crimson Bombardment]
[Combat Skill: Red Prison Palace (Red)]
[Fourth Fixed Arcane Art unlockable, Fifth Fixed Arcane Art unlockable]
[Talent Tree unlocked]
“Such a pity…” Standing in the desolate forest, looking at the Red Prison Palace Master’s stats, Lian Xing sighed.
If it had undergone mutated evolution at High-Tier or Commander-Tier, it would have been acceptable, but mutating at Mid-Tier, the loss was too great. This meant the Red Prison Palace Master would forever be stuck at level 60, and its talent tree would be severely limited.
Currently, besides the Fallen Species evolution path, there were only three ways to increase the Red Prison Palace Master’s power:
-
Equip higher quality combat skills.
-
Learn bloodline combat skills from the talent tree.
-
Absorb crystals above Royal-Tier, activating a second talent (like the Heavenly Ruler talent the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer had gained after absorbing the Nether Crystal Hand’s crystal).
However, even if they could enhance the Red Prison Palace Master’s power through these methods, its limit would be against Royal-Tier pet beasts. It wouldn’t be enough against Monarchs, those above Royal-Tier.
But…dwelling on it wouldn’t change anything…
Lian Xing calmed down and opened the Red Prison Palace Master’s Arcane Art panel.
[Fourth Fixed Arcane Art unlocked]
[Fixed Arcane Art: Limited to certain Rare Species, regardless of attribute enhancements, the available Arcane Arts are always the same.]
[Setting Sun: Unleashes a powerful burst of fire energy during flight, the upper limit determined by the amount of Fire attribute crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Summon Lightning: Unleashes a powerful burst of lightning energy during flight, the upper limit determined by the amount of Lightning attribute crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Blazing Light: Unleashes a powerful burst of light energy during flight, the upper limit determined by the amount of Light attribute crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Wind Scar: Unleashes a powerful burst of wind energy during flight, the upper limit determined by the amount of Wind attribute crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Ice Seal: Unleashes a powerful burst of ice energy during flight, the upper limit determined by the amount of Ice attribute crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Rapid Flight: Increases the upper limit of rotation speed and firing speed, the upper limit determined by the amount of Biological Species crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Azure Edge: Increases sharpness and hardness, the upper limit determined by the amount of Weapon Species crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
[Penetration: Increases penetration power and impact force, the upper limit determined by the amount of Biological Species crystals absorbed (Commander-Tier and above only).]
“…”
“…”
“Growable Arcane Arts!?” Seeing the new Arcane Art panel, Lian Xing’s eyes lit up, her disappointment slightly alleviated.
Fortunately, the fourth Arcane Art was a…growable…type. This was a sustainable way to enhance its power.
After evolving into the Red Prison Palace Master, the Golden Wheel could no longer choose two Arcane Arts, they were all merged into one. So, she could only choose one now.
Lian Xing didn’t rush to make a decision, instead looking at the fifth Arcane Art.
[Fifth Fixed Arcane Art unlocked]
[Thunder’s Wrath: Unleashes a powerful burst of fire, lightning, and light energy simultaneously during flight, the upper limit determined by the total amount of Fire, Lightning, and Light attribute crystals absorbed (Royal-Tier and above only).]
[Desperate Gamble: Increases penetration power, impact force, sharpness, and hardness, the upper limit determined by the total amount of Biological Species and Weapon Species crystals absorbed (Royal-Tier and above only).]
[Heavenly Graffiti: Significantly expands the Red Prison Palace Master’s outer ring range, the upper limit determined by the total amount of Viral Species and Elemental Species crystals absorbed (Royal-Tier and above only).]
After reviewing the fifth Arcane Art panel, Lian Xing fell silent for ten minutes.
She took back her previous statement about the Red Prison Palace Master being useless against Monarchs, those above Royal-Tier.
The growth potential of the fifth Arcane Art…it was terrifying.
And…
There was no limit!!!
This meant that as long as it absorbed enough Royal-Tier crystals, it could even fight against Monarchs, even Emperors!!!
But…she had to choose the right Arcane Art…
Among the fourth Arcane Arts, the energy-type ones and Rapid Flight were immediately eliminated. The Red Prison Palace Master was a ring-shaped Weapon Species, not an Elemental Species or a missile-type Mechanical Species. Trying to defeat enemies with elemental energy bursts was…putting the cart before the horse…
And she eliminated the seemingly practical Rapid Flight because the Moonlight Rabbit’s throwing power already affected the Red Prison Palace Master’s final speed.
So, she was left with two choices: Penetration, which increased penetration power and impact force, or Azure Edge, which increased sharpness and hardness, as a transitional option!!
As for the fifth Arcane Art…
Thunder’s Wrath, which seemed to have the highest damage output, was eliminated first, for the same reasons as before.
This left Desperate Gamble and Heavenly Graffiti.
Honestly, the temptation of Heavenly Graffiti was…huge. Unlimited expansion of the Red Prison Palace Master’s outer ring range? Wouldn’t this mean the Red Quality combat skill, Red Prison Palace, would also have a significantly larger area of effect?
A few years later, destroying a planet wouldn’t even be a dream…
Unfortunately, this Arcane Art was too specialized for weaker opponents. Against enemies it couldn’t even damage, what was the point of a larger attack range?
So, compared to Heavenly Graffiti, Desperate Gamble was more practical. Combined with the fourth Arcane Art, Azure Edge or Penetration, its destructive power would reach an unprecedented level.
Although it might not seem as flashy as Thunder’s Wrath or Heavenly Graffiti, perhaps one day, even Royal-Tier pet beasts would be like paper before the Red Prison Palace Master…
The ultimate goal of a ring-shaped Weapon Species was speed and sharpness…
So, Lian Xing decisively chose Azure Edge and Desperate Gamble.
“…”
“…”
“Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!”
However, for some reason…
After Lian Xing made her choices, the Red Prison Palace Master within her suddenly started trembling again. The frequency of the vibrations was like a massage gun , sending jolts of electricity through Lian Xing’s body, forcing her to release the Red Prison Palace Master.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
The Red Prison Palace Master didn’t unleash its outer ring, instead appearing in its hula hoop form, its inner ring blades spinning wildly as it slid and drifted across the ground, effortlessly slicing through hundreds of giant trees.
Watching the trees fall, a familiar scene…Lian Xing’s starry eyes narrowed.
This rolling behavior, was it protesting?
Lian Xing suddenly remembered what had happened when the Red Prison Palace Master first mutated. The Amber Palace, unwilling to coexist with the Topaz Double Wheel, had devoured its characteristics after protesting, evolving into the Red Prison Palace.
And now, it was protesting again…
“Darling, what’s wrong? Don’t you like the Arcane Arts I chose?”
“It’s no use protesting. I’ve already made my choices. I can’t change them~~~~”
“Be good, stop making a fuss, just listen to Mommy. Mommy won’t harm you. When you grow up, you’ll understand that Mommy’s choices were right!!!” Lian Xing said, her voice gentle, as if she were coaxing a child.
Mutated evolution was a flawed evolution path, incredibly unstable, even Lian Xing couldn’t control it.
Its successful protest last time had been completely unexpected.
But there was no way the already chosen Arcane Arts could be changed, so protesting was pointless.
However…
A few seconds later, under Lian Xing’s bewildered gaze, the light emanating from the Red Prison Palace Master’s body grew brighter, the vibrations intensifying, as if it were about to explode.
What the…? Was it so angry that it was self-destructing…?
“Bang!!!!”
Try, try again, and then… give up… The Red Prison Palace Master’s form exploded, its red light dimming.
As expected, the protest had failed…
In the next second, as the red light faded, a familiar golden color emerged.
Seeing this familiar form, Lian Xing’s breath hitched, and she quickly checked her pet beast panel.
[Amber Palace/Topaz Double Wheel/Amber Palace/Topaz Double Wheel/Amber Palace/Topaz Double Wheel/Amber Palace]
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”
At this moment, the Red Prison Palace Master’s panel flickered between two different forms, its emotions seemingly unstable.
Wait, did this mean… the Amber Palace had absorbed the Topaz Double Wheel!?
No, that was impossible.
Lian Xing calmed down and suddenly realized the Red Prison Palace Master’s true intentions.
She swallowed hard, her heart filled with disbelief, and opened the Arcane Art panel again. In the next second, her starry eyes widened in shock.
As expected, from the third Arcane Art onwards, the fourth Arcane Art, the fifth Arcane Art, the previously dimmed panels had lit up!!!
The Red Prison Palace Master, it had actually exploited the dual Arcane Art selection characteristic of mutated evolution, creating a massive bug…!!!!
As for the first and second Arcane Arts, they were already merged forms, so they couldn’t be reselected.
At this moment, seeing the Red Prison Palace Master’s unstable state, Lian Xing, with the speed honed from over 20 years of singlehood, rapidly clicked on the three Arcane Art panels.
[Third Arcane Art: Dimensional Penetration (Can pass through terrain during flight. This Arcane Art doesn’t ignore terrain, but directly…phases…through it.)]
[Fourth Arcane Art: Penetration (Increases penetration power and impact force, the upper limit determined by the amount of Biological Species crystals absorbed, Commander-Tier and above only.)]
[Fifth Arcane Art: Heavenly Graffiti (Significantly expands the Red Prison Palace Master’s outer ring range, the upper limit determined by the total amount of Viral Species and Elemental Species crystals absorbed, Royal-Tier and above only.)]
“Whoosh——!!”
The moment Lian Xing finished selecting the fifth Arcane Art, the Red Prison Palace Master calmed down, the Arcane Art panels dimming. As a faint red light reappeared, the Amber Palace and Topaz Double Wheel entries on the panel slowly merged, returning to the original [Red Prison Palace Master].
“Whew~~~~” Lian Xing let out a deep breath.
Then, as she looked at the Red Prison Palace Master’s panel again, she couldn’t help but be…shocked.
This wasn’t just…protesting…anymore. Just…become a Fallen Species…already…
[Red Prison Palace Master LV60]
[Talent: Limit Heavy Metal]
[Combat Skill: Red Prison Palace (Red)]
[Arcane Art: Red Amber, Thunderclap, Crimson Bombardment, Dimensional Penetration, Azure Edge, Penetration, Desperate Gamble, Heavenly Graffiti]
…
…
Fallen Species evolution…?
No, it was…defying heaven’s evolution…!!!
The setting sun’s gentle embrace, the rising dawn’s first light.
This was the Red Prison Palace Master’s final form…
