Chapter 299: Chapter 295: Appraisal Completed

Bai Qi looked with some envy at the North Wind Wild Eagle who had successfully ambushed Alpha, and had already started thinking about how to take out some parts from the Eagle.

Judging from the previous attack, this attack should be related to the claws, should he discuss with Instructor Luo, giving the North Wind Wild Eagle a manicure later?

Elsewhere.

The invisible attack from the North Wind Wild Eagle gave Alpha no time to dodge, its crystal armor completely shattered, and the Wild Eagle was still showing no sign of relaxation, its claws continued to grab towards Alpha.

Just as the Wild Eagle’s claws touched Alpha, Alpha shattered like a broken mirror, while the mirror image that fell rapidly due to the missed attack suddenly rushed back, placing a heavy slash on the North Wind Wild Eagle with the gravity sword.

From the beginning, the one at the very front was Alpha’s real body.

Struck straight on by the Gravity Sword, the North Wind Wild Eagle’s movements became markedly slower, and Alpha, seizing the advantageous position, promptly followed up with a few more thrusts of its sword.

With the amplification of gravity stacking up the gravity experienced by the North Wind Wild Eagle, the Wild Eagle’s speed advantage would gradually be lost, and by then, it would be entirely at Alpha’s mercy.

However, the North Wind Wild Eagle obviously also realized the effect of the Gravity Sword. A glimmer of blue light flashed in its eyes, instantly accelerating its speed to forcefully evade Alpha’s barrage, in contrast, the originally astonishingly quick Alpha began to visibly slow its own attack frequency.

[Skill Name]: Eternal Winter Forcefield

[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level

[Skill Description]: Forcefield skill, within the range of the forcefield, everything would enter an endless winter, even thoughts would gradually cease in this extreme cold environment.

“Tsk… To be forced to utilize the force field by a fourth stage king, that’s a real loss of face.”

Upon seeing this, Luo Xiang let out a helpless sigh. Originally, he was indeed prepared for the North Wind Wild Eagle to use the force field, but it was to counter Alpha’s Death Force Field, not for this kind of reason.

Even though it’s clearly a creature of the Skeletal Type, it has so many weird and complicated abilities.

On the other hand, without hesitation, Alpha, who began to gradually slowdown due to the spreading of the Eternal Winter Force Field, activated its own Death Force Field, and the abnormalities plaguing its body suddenly disappeared. However, aside from that, the rest of the surrounding area had already turned into a frozen wasteland.

Even the Undying Flame within the Fire Tornado began showing signs of being frozen.

North Wind Wild Eagle, although ‘wind’ is in its name, is its strongest ability ice-based?

Bai Qi sneered, and clicked his tongue contemptuously. He impressed upon himself how meticulously he always tried to think of a race name that suited his pet beast’s power, looking at it now, he obviously thought too much.

Yes, it was decided, the next evolution of Alpha would be called the Living King.

While Bai Qi was thinking about how the choice of race names could misguide others, Alpha dismissed the Sword Blade Storm and the Fire Tornado, even putting away the Gravity Sword. Gripping the Sword of Death in one hand, it pointed at the North Wind Wild Eagle.

Although it had not yet revealed itself, Alpha had sensed that the Eternal Winter Force Field possessed both wind and ice attributes. The icy wind was piercing like a blade. In this extremely freezing environment, the wind attacks from the North Wind Wild Eagle seemed particularly deadly.

Unless Alpha could enhance the Undying Flame and the Sword Blade Storm to the transcendent level, they could not display their full power in this Eternal Winter Force Field.

The only thing that could compete with the force field was similarly a force field skill.

Thinking of this, Alpha’s Death Force Field expanded once again. Where it covered, the icy wind all disappeared, forcefully violating the Eternal Winter Force Field.

“The Death Force Field, it’s really troublesome.”

Upon seeing this, the expression of Luo Xiang became grave. The confrontation between the force fields was actually much simpler than other skills. Whoever had the stronger force field, had the authority within that area.

Generally speaking, higher creatures have absolute suppression over lower creatures, let alone the North Wind Wild Eagle being of a mythical species, the effect of its force field skill was also something ordinary kings could not match.

However, Alpha, with a fourth-stage king’s force field, forcefully endured the erosion of the North Wind Wild Eagle’s sixth-stage force field, clearly showing the specialness of the Death Force Field.

Soon, the Death Force Field and the Eternal Winter Force Field entered into a stalemate, but the actions of the twin pets did not stop.

Being a sixth-stage mythical species King, North Wind Wild Eagle obviously could not accept this situation, a blue light flashed in its eyes, and blades that were like wind and ice appeared in the air, whistling towards Alpha.

Under the reinforcement of the Eternal Winter Force Field, these blades were not extinguished by Alpha’s Death Power like other energy, they only stalled for a moment before continuing towards the target again.

Alpha, upon observing this did not dodge, concentrating all its strength into the Sword of Death, and slowly, spirits emitting a pitch-black luster began to emerge from the Sword of Death.

These were the spirits of the ferocious beasts that were killed by Alpha prior to its discovery of the Cordyceps.

After being slain by the Sword of Death, these beast souls were stored within the Sword of Death, and now upon Alpha’s call, they once again condensed into forms with the aid of the power of death.

Due to the reinforcement of the Death Force Field, besides their color, these spirits’ forms were completely identical to the beasts alive, as if they had been truly resurrected again.

GRRR1

After being summoned, these beasts all roared to the sky, and then all rushed towards the Icy Wind Blades. Although they crumbled upon contact, they rapidly regrouped and continued to harry the blades.

Those Icy Wind Blades flying all over the sky were just not able to get close to Alpha at all.

However, Alpha remained vigilant, the Fire of Soul firmly focused on the North Wind Wild Eagle across from it, and suddenly swung out its sword at the emptiness beside it.

CLINK!

A crisp sound rang out, and the wind barrier shattered to reveal a sharp claw. The owner of this claw was a burly man with the head of an eagle and the body of a human.

“Transformation?”

Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang in surprise, but Luo Xiang shook his head and said, “Only legendary creatures can transform. This is just another form of the North Eagle.”

“To be precise, this is the battle form of the North Eagle.”

After all this, you’re only getting serious now?

Bai Qi smacked his lips, while President Qin, by his side, wore a look of surprise.

As a genius Beast Master with a mythical species on his team, Luo Xiang’s strength was somewhat known to him. From what he knew, among the Six Stage Beast Trainers, only a handful could force Luo Xiang into this form.

Was the Power of Death really that horrifying?

Glimpsing at the North Eagle – Giant-Eagle form, which had once again dispersed into the wild wind, Alpha directed his attention to the bird-man before him. The spirits of death, which were originally wandering outside, all returned to the Sword of Death, but they didn’t hide as usual. Instead, they wrapped around the sword like flames.

On the other side, the North Eagle was clearly preparing for a decisive blow. The power of the Eternal Winter gradually converged on its claws, causing one’s thoughts to halt with just a glance.

Almost simultaneously, the North Eagle clawed at Alpha, who also thrust out his sword. As the claw and sword clashed, a terrifying wave spread out, shaking off the ice clinging to the Space Barrier and even causing ripples to appear on the barrier itself.

This wasn’t like the previous Sixth Stage strength. This was enough to support the regular training of legendary creatures.

However, their battle wasn’t over. A series of clashes followed, shaking the battlefield with waves of energy.

But Alpha was clearly aware of the disadvantages of a protracted battle. Suddenly he drew his sword and a sword qi flew out from the Sword of Death, striking the Eternal Winter claw of the North Eagle first.

Woo woo woo…

Accompanied by howls of the souls of the departed, the Death Sword Qi deeply pierced into the Eternal Winter claw. A stream of light blue blood trickled from the claw of the North Eagle. Although it quickly froze and the wound was mended, the North Eagle was indeed hurt by Alpha.

Seeing this, the North Eagle clenched its fist, and the Death Sword Qi exploded into a vortex of the Power of Death that scattered in the wind.

But before the North Eagle could counter-attack, the Sword of Death had already pierced into its wound. Ice-blue blood spurted out and was corroded into black by the Power of Death before being absorbed back into the Sword of Death.

Hurt directly by the Sword of Death, the North Eagle suddenly felt it losing control of its arm. Its eyes sharply turned fierce, and an aura that seemed alien to this world emanated from its body.

Noticing something was off, Alpha instinctively pulled away from the North Eagle. But just as the North Eagle was about to pursue him, it paused and reverted to its Giant-Eagle form.

Luo Xang promptly recalled the North Eagle and walked up to Bai Qi, remarking, “Ah ah… the young ones these days are so formidable, they can even fight across two stages.”

“Instructor Luo, are you sure you’re not afraid of getting struck by lightning? The North Eagle at best used the power of the Fifth Stage. And just now, it used the special abilities of a mythical species, right?”

Bai Qi spoke bluntly, exposing Luo Xiang’s poor acting. Luo Xiang laughed and swiftly changed the topic, “Never mind that, have you thought of a new evolution form for your pet?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Hmm, Alpha was able to evolve successfully with the use of the Power of Death. It will be named Death Sword Monarch.”

“Hmm, it’s very apt.”

Luo Xiang glanced at Alpha who had returned to stand behind Bai Qi, pondered for a moment, and said, “President Qin, for the bloodline level, let’s label it as a low-grade King.”

President Qin nodded, a look of understanding flashing across his face.

Being able to fight the North Eagle to this extent, even being a high-grade King would suffice, but as the saying goes, the shot hits the bird that sticks its head out, so it’s better to keep a low profile.

Luo Xiang stretched lazily and said to Bai Qi, “Alright, I’ve had enough fun for today. Let’s stop here.”

“Huh? That’s it?”

Bai Qi sounded somewhat disappointed. He had hoped for Luo Xiang to test Delta’s combat powers. After all, both of Delta’s skills hadn’t gone through a proper fight since it evolved.

“I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be away for a few days. Bai Qi, you mustn’t run around during these few days. Wait for my return and I’ll take you somewhere.”

“So soon?”

Before Bai Qi could ask, President Qin frowned and said, “Isn’t that place a bit too challenging for a Four Stage Beast Master?”

Luo Xiang puckered his lips upon hearing this and said, “President, are you sure you can consider this lad a Four Stage Beast Master? I suspect he might advance to the Fifth Stage tomorrow.”

“Hmm… alright then.”

President Qin pondered for a moment, turned to Bai Qi, and said, “You arrange your affairs with the Institutes on both sides in the next few days. This time you might have to be away for a quite long time.”

“Um, can I ask where we’re going?”

Seeing both superiors were so solemn, Bai Qi felt a natural resistance.

Recently his research had been advancing at an accelerated pace, so running around at this time didn’t benefit him in anyway.

Plus, judging by the behavior of the two, he had an inkling that their destination could be quite dangerous.
