Chapter 25: Awakening!!
“Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob~~~~”
In broad daylight, the golden-haired girl in white suspender stockings lay on the ground, crying and wailing, tears and snot streaming down her face, her face flushed red. The key to throwing a tantrum was choosing the right time and place, understanding priorities.
Just like when Lian Xing first transmigrated, she kept crying about the Ancient Species but never mentioned the word “transmigration.” This time was the same. No matter how frustrated and aggrieved she felt, she couldn’t reveal the information about the Purple Quality combat skill chest.
So, Lian Xing considered herself relatively rational. When she threw tantrums while playing games in her past life, she would at most break a few keyboards, never punching through the monitor.
What did everyone think?
Type 1 to resurrect Lian Xing’s keyboard.
At this moment, looking at the golden-haired, bun-wearing girl rolling on the ground, Ye Zhuzhi, the green-haired woman in the high-slit cheongsam, covered her mouth with her hands in amazement, as if her deepest desires had been awakened.
“Wow, such a beauty…”
“What happened?”
“…”
“…”
“It’s obvious she lost something valuable. What else could it be~~~” Chi Yan rolled her eyes impatiently.
The thought of her captain about to capture the Legendary Rare Species made her skin crawl. She wanted to rush back into Youxi Valley and cause chaos.
However…
At that very moment!
As if sensing something, Chi Yan’s impatient expression suddenly changed.
“Fire Armament!!!”
“Whoosh——!!!”
In the next second, the giant bat with purple flame patterns descended from the sky, its wings covering Chi Yan and Ye Zhuzhi.
At the same time, Purple Smoke, the portal guardian, also sensed something was wrong. It buzzed, spewing dense smoke in all directions, covering the surrounding students.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Without warning, an explosion like a nuclear bomb detonated.
The entire eastern Youxi Valley was engulfed in golden flames, and all nearby buildings were blown away. The terrifying shockwave made it impossible to open one’s eyes.
A giant golden vortex rose into the sky, shaking the surrounding area for dozens of miles, soon reaching the entire Youlan Academy.
“…”
“…”
“This is…awakening…” Amidst the screams and roars of small beasts, her vision covered by the golden wave, the golden-haired girl who had been rolling on the ground slowly stood up, her expression serious, covering her mouth thoughtfully.
The violent wind broke through the purple smoke barrier, whipping Lian Xing’s hair and skirt. But she stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the center of the golden vortex.
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
After a dozen seconds, the dust settled.
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone nearby, a golden sphere of light covered the Youxi Valley area, enveloping the night sky for dozens of miles. The surface of the sphere was covered in dazzling nebula patterns, resembling a small star!!
What’s going on? The impact seemed so powerful, but there’s no real damage…? Everyone checked themselves for injuries, but surprisingly, they found no wounds or even scratches after being hit by the golden nebula’s energy wave. It was as if only the wind had been strong.
But what the hell was this sphere of light!!!
“The Captain is still inside. I hope she’s okay!” Ye Zhuzhi said worriedly, wanting to investigate but afraid to approach.
Meanwhile, looking at the golden nebula barrier, Purple Smoke, the guardian, frowned in disbelief.
“Beast tide…”
“Has a Super Rare Species been born!?”
“…”
“…”
“There’s a high probability of a beast tide occurring a dozen hours before a Super Rare Species awakens.”
“And a Legendary Rare Species will definitely trigger a beast tide!”
As everyone stood in shock and confusion, the golden-haired girl with dust-covered white stockings muttered to herself, walking towards the surface of the golden nebula. The star patterns in Lian Xing’s eyes twinkled like never before, her expression almost demonic as she reached out her hand.
“Don’t touch it—!!!” Tao Wan shouted, her face pale.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lian Xing’s hand touched the surface of the golden barrier, creating ripples but causing no other reaction.
A beast tide referred to the awakening phenomenon of a pet beast, a self-preservation mechanism for Rare Species. The golden shockwave earlier hadn’t harmed them because it was just a ripple of energy released during awakening. The real danger was yet to come…
Awakening was a special combat form, independent of the evolution path!!!
Only Super Rare Species had a chance of awakening. After awakening, their previous combat style and form would change completely, like a second evolution on top of their current tier.
And all wild pet beasts within the beast tide’s radius would temporarily become companion beasts of the Rare Species, protecting it from approaching Beast Tamers until it fully awakened. Because in the world of pet beasts, Rare Species held a status akin to emperors.
Especially the 72 Legends. Even dominant pet beasts two tiers higher would feel the urge to kneel and submit before them.
However, the chance of a 72 Legends being born in this remote corner of Youlan Academy was practically zero.
Lian Xing, holding onto that 0.0000001% possibility, glanced at the worried green-haired girl, Ye Zhuzhi.
“She said their captain was still inside…?”
“That means their team must have seen it…”
“Judging by the scale and nature of this beast tide, it should be an initially High-Tier Elemental Species. If it’s a 72 Legends, there are only four possibilities.”
“Let’s test it out—”
With that, Lian Xing turned and walked towards Ye Zhuzhi.
Meanwhile, seeing the golden-haired, bun-wearing, stocking-clad girl approaching her, Ye Zhuzhi’s heart skipped a beat, forgetting even her captain trapped inside the barrier.
“Beauty, what can I do for you?” Ye Zhuzhi asked, practically drooling, a perfect picture of a simp.
“…”
“Senior sister, I heard you say your captain is still inside, right?” Facing the smitten green-haired girl, Lian Xing twirled a strand of hair and smiled sweetly.
“Yes, beauty, our captain and another team member didn’t get teleported out for some reason…”
“Mm, that means they were near that thing at the time, right?”
“What thing?” Ye Zhuzhi was confused by Lian Xing’s probing questions.
With her limited knowledge of pet beasts, she didn’t even know about beast tides or awakening, let alone that someone could guess the presence of a Super Rare Species just by observing the beast tide.
“Is it the Moonwalker?”
“Or…the Black Sun?”
“Or perhaps…the Golden Paradise!?”
The golden-haired girl listed a series of names that Ye Zhuzhi didn’t recognize, assuming it was some kind of code for…certain services.
However, hearing these names, Chi Yan realized something was wrong.
She wanted to interrupt, but it was too late.
“Star Sand?”
“…”
“…”
As expected, the moment Lian Xing said that, Ye Zhuzhi’s expression changed drastically. Chi Yan, although somewhat prepared, was still shocked, unable to control her expression. Ye Zhuzhi opened her mouth slightly, wanting to explain or deny, but no words came out.
“I see. I have my answer…” There was no need for further words. Lian Xing turned and left.
A few seconds later, under the pale gazes of Ye Zhuzhi and Chi Yan, the golden-haired girl with buns walked further and further away, soon disappearing from sight.
From wailing and rolling on the ground to quickly escaping, the entire process took less than a minute. Her dramatic shift in behavior was seamless.
The others were puzzled. Tao Wan scratched her head, confused by Lian Xing’s sudden change of heart.
However, unnoticed by anyone, after walking a short distance…
Lian Xing clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, the star patterns in her eyes twinkling like stage lights.
“I didn’t expect a 72 Legends to appear here!!”
“The outer barrier of the beast tide can only last for ten hours. Once it’s gone, Beast Tamers can enter freely!!!”
“Against Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends, the Mid-Tier Giant Moonlight Rabbit is no match. I need to reach the High-Tier evolution path…”
“And then, whether it’s the purple combat skill chest or Star Sand…”
“I want them both!!!!”
