Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 74 The Opportunity to Evolve into a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox
Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Opportunity to Evolve into a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox
Hongmeng Company’s Building No. 2, in a room named the Spiritual Beast Conversion Room.
A monk dressed in a yellow kasaya was quietly sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his bald head shiny and bright, though his face was quite handsome.
Before him was a Thunderstorm Lion with long, flowing manes, evolved from a Starlight Lion, a large and ferocious beast known for its extremely violent temper, earning it the nickname "Hothead" among the Spiritual Beasts.
But this particular Thunderstorm Lion in front of the monk was as docile as a kitty, with a wooden fish mallet floating above its head, the top of which was adorned with a large "Virtue" character.
This was the monk’s Spirit Wood Hammer, which wielded the Buddhist move "Buddha’s Sound in the Ear." Any target hit by it would be gifted with a whole day of non-stop Buddhist chanting.
It was more than just a simple physical attack; what’s even more terrifying was the potential spiritual damage it could cause, possibly leaving the beast with a lifetime of trauma.
This high-ranking Thunderstorm Lion was previously caught by the Special Service Minister Pude, also the monk we see before us, for stealing gugu chickens from Hongmeng Company’s gugu chicken farm, and was then brought to the Spiritual Beast Conversion Room for "evolution" and repentance.
"Do you, benefactor, have a repentant heart?"
"Meow~"
The Thunderstorm Lion meowed in a sign of submission and then suddenly shook its big head vigorously, nodding like pounding garlic.
"Roar!" (Yes, yes, yes!)
"Then, would you stay and become the guardian Spiritual Beast of the gugu chicken farm?"
"Roar!?"
The Thunderstorm Lion was stunned—with its history, being a guardian of the chicken farm was like asking it to "guard the henhouse"!
But then it suddenly remembered the monk’s nauseatingly repetitive chanting over the past few days and shivered.
Damn it, this cursed monk is definitely tempting me to sin!
At that moment, a terrifying dragon’s roar swept through.
The overwhelming aura made the Thunderstorm Lion tremble; it was the pressure of its bloodline!
"Oh no, could it be that the Ancient Thunder Dragon has awakened? Isn’t today the Thunder Dragon Tribe’s Thunder God Festival? Has someone passed the trial?"
The monk’s brows furrowed, but he quickly guessed the source of the dragon’s roar.
As the Minister of the Special Service Department, he knew much more about Thundercliff than ordinary employees, and he could barely consider himself friends with the High Priest of the Thunder Dragon Tribe.
Moreover, when Hongmeng Company first began developing the Thunder Cliff Secret Realm, a surface exploration team had drilled downwards, discovering, at a depth of more than 20 meters, an extremely hard "rock" layer.
As the research department examined it, this "rock" layer seemed akin to dragon scales.
And every peak of Thundercliff, if excavated downward, reveals this layer of deep purple "rock stratum."
This indirectly proved that the legends of Thundercliff were not merely legends, but actual historical accounts.
After a moment’s hesitation, the monk sent a message to everyone in the branch office through his Spirit Master Bracelet—
"Everyone, gather in the hall! Be ready to evacuate at any time!"
The Ancient Thunder Dragon was a mythological creature of legends, with unparalleled absolute power; its awakening could have an unknown purpose, but they had to be ready to forsake the Thundercliff base at any moment!
——————————————
The very instant Blazing Flame Fox defeated the juvenile Thunder Dragon, the long-slumbering Thunder Dragon was roused.
"Let me see, which Spiritual Beast managed to defeat me, a contemporary?"
That was the first thought of the awakened Ancient Thunder Dragon.
"Hmm? It’s actually a Little White Fox, could it be a descendant of that Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox?"
The Thunder Dragon’s gaze pierced through Xiao Jiu, and then, in the next second, it was completely astonished. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"How is this possible!? This Blazing Flame Fox has none of the mythical race’s bloodlines!? How did it defeat me?"
Puzzled, the Thunder Dragon flipped through its own Spiritual Sea (the Dragon Soul Ancient Tree) to review the "recorded playback."
However, after watching the "recorded playback," the Thunder Dragon became even more skeptical of Dragonborn.
How could it be that the contemporary me was beaten without the ability to fight back?! This fox could not only easily break through my dragon scales, but also suffered only minor injuries after taking a hit from my "Thunder Dragon Fall"?
It is well-known that the Dragon Clan is renowned for their strong physical constitution, and no Spiritual Beast of the same stage could break through their defenses! Yet this Blazing Flame Fox’s attacks managed to injure it every time!
This is too crazy, too unscientific!
"Forget it, if you don’t think about things that don’t make sense, then they won’t confuse you."
The Thunder Dragon quickly gave up on thinking, as an entity that slept for at least a decade and at most for hundreds of years, its most significant trait was its reluctance to think.
Even the exceedingly difficult trials left behind were to minimize disturbances from the descendants of the Spirit Masters.
Now that someone had passed the trial, naturally, it would uphold its promise from back then, which is to bestow the complete True Dragon Bloodline upon the successful challenger.
Trial Space.
After defeating the young Thunder Dragon, Chen Mo started playing Fruit Ninja in the two-player mode with Xiao Jiu on a tablet.
Since there was nothing else to do, playing games to pass the time and waiting for a blessing from the Thunder Dragon seemed like a good idea.
While playing, Chen Mo suddenly heard an ancient and majestic voice deep within himself—
"Human, your Spiritual Beast has passed the trial I left behind and is entitled to my bloodline."
It was soul communication.
A capability possessed by Spiritual Beasts above the Monarch Stage, needless to say about an Ancient Thunder Dragon.
The Dragon Soul Ancient Tree is the embodiment of the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s dragon soul and spirit, and the Trial Space within it is actually a part of the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Spiritual Sea.
"However, my Dragon Clan’s bloodline may not be suitable for your Blazing Flame Fox. I can offer you another choice, I will give you a dragon scale as a token, you can go and seek out the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox in Qingqiu, and have it bless you with the Mythical Creatures Bloodline."
After a moment of thought, the Thunder Dragon added:
"Of course, too much time has passed, and Qingqiu might not exist anymore. If you don’t want to take a gamble, I can also bestow my bloodline on the little fox."
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then the corners of his mouth curved upwards involuntarily.
He didn’t expect to find the opportunity for the optimal evolution that he saw at Dr. Xu’s place from the Thunder Dragon!
It felt like finding a whole new village when all seemed lost without a path, a pleasant surprise amidst despair!
"Xiao Jiu, what do you think?"
"Chirp!" (Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox!)
The little fox answered without hesitation, with an excited gleam shining in its crimson jade-like eyes.
"What do you think? Have you decided?"
"Senior, is your relationship with the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox good?"
Chen Mo didn’t immediately respond but asked another question instead.
The Mythical Creatures Bloodline isn’t something found on every street corner. The Thunder Dragon Tribe are descendants of the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s Spirit Masters, generation after generation venerating the Thunder Dragon, and they must endure hardships to obtain the bloodline.
Moreover, the obtained bloodline is minuscule, only slightly enhancing the Spiritual Beast’s physical constitution and potential.
Chen Mo just wanted to confirm whether the Ancient Thunder Dragon’s scale would be convincing enough for the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox to honor it.
"It’s alright! That guy owes me a favor. Don’t worry! As long as it still lives, it will surely bestow the bloodline on your Spiritual Beast. But if it’s not around anymore, don’t come looking for me. Have you made up your mind?"
The Ancient Thunder Dragon sounded a bit impatient; it wanted to go back to sleep.
As an entity that sleeps twice every one hundred years, each time for fifty years, "sleepy" is ingrained in its genes. Having just awoken for a few minutes, the Thunder Dragon already felt overwhelmingly sleepy.
