Chapter 67: Ancient Species · Moon Calamity!!!
Inside the Nether Crystal Hand’s tomb, located on the outskirts of Wind God Academy.
Despite absorbing the Royal-Tier crystal and gaining a new talent, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer still hadn’t fulfilled its evolution requirements…
Lian Xing was speechless.
Perfect evolution was great and all, but this level of stubbornness was a bit much. It was like refusing to go home until it finished all its summer homework on the first day of vacation.
So, after giving the Moonlight Rabbit a good talking to, Lian Xing finally left the tomb, satisfied. This trip to Wind God Academy had dramatically changed the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s stats:
[High-Tier — Biological Species — Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer LV68]
[Talent: Flexibility Enhancement, Heavenly Ruler]
[Combat Skill: Sand Toss (Purple), Lunar Crash (Purple), Raging Wind (Dark Gold)]
[Exclusive: Wave Breaker]
[Arcane Art: Combo, Flurry, Power Throw, Moon’s Grace]
It was hard to imagine that these were the stats of a High-Tier pet beast. However, even if a pet beast reached a world-destroying level, a Beast Tamer, even one as inexperienced and frail as Lian Xing, still had the right to discipline their baby.
Of course, this didn’t apply to married couples…
Once a Beast Tamer and their pet beast formed that kind of relationship…it was hard to say who was disciplining who~~~
“…”
“…”
“Beautiful, how did it go!?” Silver Dragon asked anxiously, seeing the golden-haired girl emerge from the tomb with the Moonlight Rabbit.
Lian Xing explained casually, omitting the details about the Nether Crystal Hand but not deliberately hiding anything. After all, the Royal-Tier crystal had already been consumed by the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer. Even if the information leaked, those greedy treasure hunters couldn’t do anything about it.
However…
As Lian Xing and Silver Dragon were talking…
The Moonlight Rabbit, which had just been disciplined, didn’t cry or complain, instead staring blankly at the distant sky. Because of a certain characteristic of the Nether Crystal Hand, the moment it touched Calamity Sun, it had permanently memorized its aura and presence.
This meant that Calamity Sun’s aura, like an invisible thread, constantly drifted towards the Moonlight Rabbit’s nose from millions of kilometers away, tempting it.
So close, yet so far away…
Looking towards Calamity Sun’s location, the Moonlight Rabbit’s eyes filled with longing.
…
…
Three days passed.
Wind God Academy, Training Hall.
Inside the futuristic, silver-themed hall, countless young girls, all wearing white masks, were immersed in virtual battles and the online world. Unlike Youlan Academy’s cramped training room with only ten devices, Wind God Academy had over a hundred of the latest battle devices, free for all students to use. It was like a luxurious internet cafe!!
The exclusive training room for the core team members was even more extravagant, equipped with specialized massage devices and dedicated stocking-clad maids who would massage and relax the players’ bodies while they were battling.
Of course, to prevent anyone from abusing the public resources for inappropriate activities like sleeping together online, all the battle device screens were publicly displayed.
“Speaking of which, the league starts the day after tomorrow. Is the Captain really okay? Is it that time of the month? Should we take care of her?” a petite girl wearing the #3 white mask asked worriedly.
Although Beast Tamers’ delicate bodies were mostly weak and frail, due to their constant absorption of Pet Essence, their lifespans and health were generally good. Aside from pregnancy, there were few illnesses that could affect their daily activities.
With the league approaching, after taking so many days of sick leave, was Captain Silver Dragon really alright?
“Don’t worry. Even if you had a problem, the Captain would be fine~~~” Wind God Academy #4 patted #3’s shoulder reassuringly.
What could possibly be wrong with the Captain?
At most, she was just…unexpectedly pregnant…, preparing a little gift from Youlan Academy…
Thinking of this, #4 couldn’t help but chuckle.
It seemed the Captain had finally experienced the joys of motherhood…~~~
Speaking of which, Strongest Moonlight Rabbit was one of the most attractive people she had ever seen. The Captain must be bedridden right now?
“?”
“Are you sick?” #3 asked, looking at #4’s idiotic expression with disgust.
“Bang!”
At that moment, the door to the training room opened, and all the core members looked up in surprise. Silver Dragon, the captain, walked in with a beautiful girl with golden buns. They were chatting and laughing, not looking like someone who had just taken sick leave at all.
“Darling, this is where I usually train. I’ll let you try the special massage service later~~~” After introducing Lian Xing, Silver Dragon turned to her team members, her expression indifferent, and announced, “Everyone, this is the captain of Youlan Academy. I’m showing her around. Tomorrow, she’ll be hitching a ride with us to the league venue.”
“…”
“Don’t just stand there, don’t you have training to do?” Under Silver Dragon’s cold gaze, the curious team members quickly dispersed. Then, Silver Dragon’s expression softened as she took Lian Xing’s hand and led her to the massage area.
Seeing this, the other team members, pretending to train, exchanged bewildered glances.
So…dating can be considered sick leave, huh?
But where did the Captain find such a catch? She looks so experienced and alluring. I hope she doesn’t break our innocent Captain’s heart…
Meanwhile, inside the private massage room, Lian Xing looked at the two scantily clad maids in white stockings, waiting for them, and nervously lay down on the special battle device.
“Massage during battle?”
“That seems strange”
“Don’t worry, darling. They’re professionals. They won’t do anything inappropriate~~~” Silver Dragon reassured her, lying down beside her.
To properly relax their bodies and minds, they would usually get a massage before connecting to the devices. Getting used to the pressure and techniques beforehand would allow them to fully immerse themselves in the virtual battle, minimizing distractions from the real world.
However, as Lian Xing lay down, skeptical, the moment the maid gently pressed on her stomach, she let out a strange cry, as if she had been pierced.
“Ugh!!!”
“…”
“…”
“W-What’s wrong?” Startled by the sound, the three of them looked at the golden-haired girl, who had shot up from the device.
“N-Nothing…it’s just…a bit…itchy…” Lian Xing said awkwardly, lying back down.
She had never been touched by anyone other than her hands on any part of her body except her hands, so she was a bit overwhelmed by the sensitivity.
It was just a normal massage. It shouldn’t be a big deal.
“Mm…”
In the next second, as the maid’s cool, soft hand touched Lian Xing’s stomach again, a jolt of electricity shot through her body. Her toes curled, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled. After a few seconds, Lian Xing let out another strange cry, then arched her back like a shrimp thrown into boiling oil, thrashing on the device.
“I…I barely even touched her…” the maid said, her voice trembling, looking at the silver-haired girl’s strange expression.
She was often hired for massages. Some clients didn’t even buy her, just wanting to experience her massage techniques.
She was a professional…
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I must have eaten something bad. How about we start with the legs?” Lian Xing said, tears shimmering in her eyes, still not giving up.
However, the sensation on her legs was even more intense than on her stomach, judging by her agonized cries.
Seeing this, Silver Dragon suddenly remembered something strange. When they had bathed together yesterday, she had offered to wash Lian Xing’s back, but after a few touches, Lian Xing had almost cried, accusing her of scratching her hemorrhoids…
At the time, seeing Lian Xing so upset, she had been too shocked to think straight.
Now that she thought about it…
Not only was Lian Xing’s back smooth and flawless, but could hemorrhoids even grow there?
Wait—!!!
Could it be that Lian Xing had that condition where she didn’t need to drink water?
Thinking of this, Silver Dragon’s expression turned strange. She had once heard Wind God Academy #4 bragging about it.
This condition, although a negative congenital disease, was incredibly valuable.
It was practically nonexistent in reality, but it was common in certain types of novels.
Could Lian Xing’s setting be based on those novels?
Silver Dragon felt her throat tighten, a burning sensation in her lower abdomen. So, to prevent this secret from being discovered by others, she quickly dismissed the two maids.
“Beautiful, if you can’t handle it, let’s just start the battle, okay?”
“O-Okay” Lian Xing nodded weakly, her eyes teary, relieved that she was finally free.
Baiyue Province, Beast Tamer Association Headquarters.
The fox in the black secretary outfit frowned, carefully reviewing the latest confidential report. With less than two days remaining until the Baiyue Province Academy League, why had this happened…?
After a moment of contemplation, she took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep—”
“Hello?”
“What the hell?! What does this report mean? Is there no further explanation!?” the fox snarled into the phone, its voice filled with fury. “Why would they allow members of the Cycle of Calamity into Baiyue Province!?”
“Baiyue Province is just a 10th-level region! We have no means of defense! A single step from a Royal-Tier would crush us!!!”
“…”
“…”
“Sigh, something big happened up there, and we’re struggling to even handle our own affairs. We simply can’t spare the resources to deal with this…” a woman’s tired voice sighed from the other end of the line.
“I don’t care! I’m about to be promoted! How could they throw such a ridiculous mess at me at a time like this!?” the fox roared, its frustration evident in its flailing paws.
After a moment of silence, the woman explained reluctantly, “Well, although 10th-level regions aren’t supposed to receive this information, it’s not exactly classified. I’ll send it to you.”
“Just don’t make a fuss after reading it. There’s nothing we can do~~” With that, the woman hung up.
The fox, panting heavily, waited for the message.
The Cycle of Calamity, a powerful organization led by a Fallen Species Emperor, its members all failed products of mutated evolution. Wherever they went, they brought destruction and bloodshed.
To spread chaos and destruction throughout the world, distorting the natural order of evolution…that was the Cycle of Calamity’s goal.
The Cycle of Calamity’s existence was a headache for countless organizations, even the Beast Tamer Association was powerless against them.
Because they had a Fallen Species…
The Fallen Species Emperor, a being beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals.
No one in this world could stop it from doing whatever it wanted.
Therefore, very few organizations dared to challenge the Cycle of Calamity, and those who could defeat the Fallen Species Emperor wouldn’t bother protecting a lower-level region.
So, even if Baiyue Province was destroyed by the Cycle of Calamity, the Beast Tamer Association couldn’t do anything.
However…
Half a minute later, as the fox read the message, it felt like something within it had shattered.
[August 14th, 427621, 23:00]
[23:03:53, an unknown Ancient Species landed in the 2nd-level region, Dark Abyss Sea, the headquarters of the Cycle of Calamity.]
[23:03:54, the 2nd-level region, Dark Abyss Sea, sank.]
[23:03:56, over half of the Cycle of Calamity members were killed. The surviving members escaped through an emergency portal, randomly scattered across the world.]
[23:25:29, 20 minutes after the battle began, the leader of the Cycle of Calamity fled, heavily injured. The whereabouts of its partner, Calamity Sun, are unknown.]
[After a thorough investigation and analysis by the Beast Tamer Association Headquarters and the Sovereign, this unknown Ancient Species has been temporarily named: Moon Calamity.]
[Moon Calamity, danger level assessment: Ten stars!!]
