Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Vera’s Advancement!
Looking at the Earth Marrow floating before his eyes, Gu Xing thoughtfully rubbed his chin.
"This test... isn’t it a bit too easy?"
He hadn’t even used his full strength...
He had breezed through it just relying on Qing Shuang’s own power.
If other Beast Masters heard this, they’d probably cough up three liters of blood in anger.
Normal Commander Tier Nine Beast Masters facing a Monarch Tier Five Half-Step Demon God would find themselves in an utterly hopeless situation.
Only a freak like Gu Xing would think such a test was way too easy.
Inside the Beast Taming Space, Lilith’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a few times.
But when her gaze shifted to Liu Li, she suddenly realized something!
This Angel’s strength was already close to catching up to hers!
At this growth speed, it wouldn’t be long before Gu Xing reached a realm equal to her.
By then... maybe that’ll be the time when they truly form their Contract?
Lilith’s feelings grew suddenly complicated.
Once, she’d completely resisted the idea.
After all, she’d once been Totem Level.
Forming a Contract with Gu Xing meant binding herself to him—if Gu Xing couldn’t break through Totem Level...
It meant she’d never get the chance to reach Totem Level again!
But now...
Seeing Gu Xing showing more and more Talent, her resistance to the idea of contracting with him seemed to be fading.
Outside.
Gu Xing steadily gripped the earth-yellow crystal radiating thick Energy Fluctuations, feeling the vast Power of Earth within.
He turned to look at Vera at his side.
He finally had the real Earth Marrow.
This also meant...
Vera could finally welcome her breakthrough!
Her Myth Five Stars Talent was about to become a thing of the past.
"Vera."
[Natural Spirit (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Five Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier Nine]
[Power: 20,000→50,000]
[Constitution: 20,000→50,000]
[Spirit: 30,000→60,000]
[Speed: 20,000→50,000]
[Skills: Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Life Blooming, Natural Domain]
At this moment, Vera had reached the Commander Tier Nine Peak, her Spiritual Attribute even touching the Commander limit of 60,000 points.
Although Power, Constitution, and Speed Attribute were still shy of the extremes, they’d already reached 50,000 points.
Hearing Gu Xing’s call, Vera straightened, soft green light shimmering around her.
As her Spiritual Power gathered, she dispelled the disguise she’d maintained for so long.
A brilliant green flash, and her originally petite, adorable form stretched like a sprouting branch.
In the blink of an eye, a tall, golden-haired elf beauty appeared before everyone.
"Master~"
Vera’s voice was no longer childish, but bore the sultry magnetism unique to a mature woman.
She stared at Gu Xing, her gaze unwavering.
Gu Xing took a deep breath, hesitated no longer.
He raised his hand and summoned three materials.
With their special resonance frequency, the three slowly rose, orbiting and dancing around Vera.
"It’s working!" A gleam of joy flashed in Gu Xing’s eyes.
This ceremony was going smoother than ever—no surprise at all.
The rotation sped up, the three energies gradually merging.
Finally, a dazzling pillar of green light descended from the heavens, enveloping Vera completely.
At the same time.
Countless verdant vines spread out from beneath Vera’s feet, weaving and winding as if alive.
First they formed a massive emerald cocoon that wrapped Vera inside, then, at swift speed, expanded outward to blanket the whole platform space.
"Thump—"
Suddenly, a clear heartbeat echoed from deep within the vine cocoon.
Gu Xing’s eyes lit up...
This was the sign of the Heart of Nature merging successfully!
With each beat, the aura at the cocoon’s core grew stronger.
Gu Xing unconsciously held his breath, a trace of anticipation sparkling in his eyes.
Last time, when Liu Li went from Myth Five Stars to Myth Nine Stars, she unlocked the Guardian Angels and Destruction Angels forms.
Now Vera was going from Myth Five Stars to Myth Nine Stars...
Gu Xing grew more and more eager to see Vera’s transformation!
At that moment, a ripple of emerald energy spread from the cocoon’s center.
Gu Xing felt his whole body lighten, days of fatigue vanishing in an instant—even his soul felt freshly purified.
Even more magically, the vines covering the platform simultaneously bloomed into thousands of flowers.
In the Beast Taming Space, Lilith stared blankly at everything unfolding outside, shock filling her crimson eyes.
Unlike Liu Li’s last breakthrough, this time she witnessed every step herself.
That abundant Life Energy, the very manifestation of Life Laws.
And all of this proved one thing.
Gu Xing really could enhance his Guardian Beasts’ Talent—and help them overcome the entire Myth Five Stars limit.
Last time with Liu Li’s transformation, she could still chalk it up to ’coincidence’, ’luck’.
But now, as Vera achieved the same miracle before her eyes, all thoughts of luck were shattered.
Her gaze involuntarily fell to Gu Xing—his upright figure now surrounded by a mysterious aura.
A crazed thought sprouted in her mind:
If... if she could receive an upgrade like this herself...
Maybe regaining her strength could wait a bit!
At this moment, Vera’s aura had soared to its peak.
The inexhaustible Life Energy swept through the space, transforming everything into a dazzling sea of flowers.
Countless blossoms bloomed in the void, then withered in an instant, playing out the Eternal Life and natural Reincarnation.
Off to the side, Fei Yue quietly sidled up to Qing Shuang and lowered her voice:
"Sis, don’t worry—Master will help you upgrade your Talent very soon~"
Hearing this, Qing Shuang twitched her lips and turned to glance at her little sister.
Since following Gu Xing, Fei Yue’s personality had really opened up—she even dared tease her now.
Qing Shuang flicked her sister’s forehead softly:
"Yue, Talent upgrades aren’t that important. Being able to stay by Master’s side is what matters most."
Fei Yue was briefly stunned by that answer.
Her impression had always been that her sister saw strength upgrades as the top priority.
But now...
Fei Yue glanced back and forth between Gu Xing and Qing Shuang, suddenly struck by understanding.
Her big sis must be in love with Master!
Except...
Her mind flashed to Liu Li and Vera.
That Angel always received Master’s special attention—competing for his favor would be tough.
And the elf could be cute or cool...
Clearly another powerful rival!
Thinking of this, Fei Yue instantly felt her sister’s chances were pitifully slim.
Her big sis was great at fighting, but when it came to romance...
Better not!
At that thought, Fei Yue suddenly felt a sacred sense of duty.
Her sister would need her help for sure!
Fei Yue swore to herself.
Once Master returned to the Human World with the Divine Pattern and awakened at the Holy Pool, she’d find a way to get him and her sister alone!
Just as Fei Yue was scheming, the Energy Fluctuation in the arena suddenly intensified.
"BOOM—!!"
A sky-piercing pillar of emerald light shot upward, the outpouring Life Energy making the entire space tremble.
Next, every single flower instantly wilted, boundless Life Force pouring into the center of the light pillar like rivers to the sea.
When the final drop of energy was absorbed, a graceful figure slowly emerged within the shining beam...
