Chapter 8: Is This a Girlfriend or a Contract?
It was not easy to send Aunt Chen away.
Wang Chen sighed helplessly.
What a disaster!
How could he be so unlucky!
Returning to his room, he saw the Little Azure Python trembling and curling up in the beast cage.
The Little Azure Python seemed to realize it had hurt its owner and made a big mistake. It fearfully hid back in the cage, trembling all over, waiting for its master's punishment.
Before it was captured, it had seen humans mercilessly slaughtering its kind in the wild with its own eyes.
So, in the impression of the Little Azure Python, humans were terrifying demons who killed without blinking.
The kind that would find something to kill over a disagreement.
It had made a big mistake now.
Would its owner kill it too?
Thinking of this, the Little Azure Python became even more frightened.
And looking at the Little Azure Python trembling with fear, Wang Chen's past memories unintentionally resurfaced.
The Little Azure Python in front of him was very much like the young Wang Chen, who was cornered and beaten with bamboo strips by his second aunt, feeling nothing but endless despair and fear, with no one to save him, only able to let the bamboo strips fall harshly on him.
Wang Chen shook his head, pushing those memories aside, and directly picked up the Little Azure Python gently, placing it in his arms.
The Little Azure Python felt its owner's warmth and gentle emotions, and it finally gathered the courage to lift its small head and look at Wang Chen.
What it saw was Wang Chen's two rows of white and neat teeth.
At this moment, its owner was grinning at it with a bright smile.
In an instant.
The originally tense body of the Little Azure Python completely relaxed.
The anxiety and fear in its heart somehow completely disappeared.
What remained was a strong attachment to this owner.
Because at this moment, it felt the warmth and kindness of its owner towards it.
That was the expression one would have towards family.
The Little Azure Python didn't understand what family meant, after all, it had been surviving alone since it crawled out of its eggshell.
Now, this strange yet incomparably warm gentle kindness made it completely let down its guard.
Yes...
Even if a contracted beast pet, loyalty, compatibility, and affection might not be 100%.
Because the beast pet also has its own thoughts.
Although as a Beast Master, you can unconditionally force the beast pet to carry out your orders, if the beast pet's loyalty and affection towards you are very low, the combat power exerted by the Beast Master and the beast pet will be greatly reduced.
At the moment.
Because of Wang Chen's grin, the Little Azure Python's loyalty and affection towards him were maxed out, reaching 100%.
"Not afraid anymore, right?"
Seeing the little guy staring at him with its bright eyes, Wang Chen smiled and asked.
"Ji!"
The Little Azure Python squinted its eyes and responded happily, as if saying 'Not afraid anymore.'
It also rubbed its small head affectionately against Wang Chen's neck.
Only then did Wang Chen have time to check this little guy's panel.
Because a prompt had already appeared on the panel.
[World-Destroying Azure Dragon bloodline activation successful! Current bloodline activation level: 10%!]
[Your beast pet 'Little Azure Python' has acquired new talents and skills!]
Hmm?
New talents?
New skills?
Wang Chen glanced at it and found that under [Talents] and [Skills], there were indeed new additions!
[Talents: Gigantification (D), World-Destroying Thunder Technique (SSS)]
[World-Destroying Thunder Technique (SSS): One of the exclusive talents of the World-Destroying Azure Dragon. Upon activation, you can manipulate the power of thunder and control thunder magic. All your attacks will carry the World-Destroying Thunder, dealing massive thunder damage to the enemy and inflicting the 'Reverse Death Thunder Annihilation' state on them.]
Note:
'Reverse Death Thunder Annihilation' state: Reduces received healing effects by 80%; reduces all attributes by 70%; increases all received damage by 500%.
Whoa!
What a monstrous talent!
High damage aside, it also comes with an extremely overbearing debuff!
Can you believe this is a talent that a second-tier beast like the Little Azure Python can possess!?
Looking at the skills...
[Skills: Strangle (D), Brutal Charge (F), Bite (F), Azure Dragon Thunder Scales (SSS).]
[Azure Dragon Thunder Scales (SSS): Upon activation, wear the Azure Dragon Thunder Scales. Increases armor, magic resistance, and health by 2000%; increases triple speed (attack speed, movement speed, casting speed) by 1000%; increases attack power by 500%; and triggers the 'Thunder Armor' effect.]
Note:
'Thunder Armor' effect: Reduces all damage received by 50% and reflects 500% of the damage back to the enemy.
Another unreasonable monstrous skill!
This World-Destroying Azure Dragon's bloodline is too terrifying!
The key is that it's only activated 10% now!
If it reaches 100% activation, this Little Azure Python will transform into a true World-Destroying Azure Dragon!
Just thinking about it feels exaggerated!
Hmm...
It's worth mentioning...
The bloodline awakening not only brought new talents and skills!
The Little Azure Python's level cap has also increased from the original 50 to 100.
The four attributes have skyrocketed from the original 10 points to 500 points!
Even higher than the third-tier beast, the Mystic Crystal Demon Tiger!
However, the bloodline rank has not changed, still showing as a second-tier beast.
It should be that the bloodline needs to be fully activated to change into a Cosmic God Beast.
The current Little Azure Python is still genuinely a second-tier beast.
That's also good.
It can deliberately appear weak to the enemy.
It's estimated that the opponent will definitely be full of arrogance when seeing the 'second-tier beast' label.
Little do they know that this seemingly ordinary Little Azure Snake is actually hiding the World-Destroying Azure Dragon!
Additionally...
The little guy's level has also increased from the original 5 to 10.
Looking at the Little Azure Python in his arms, full of affection and attachment, Wang Chen estimated that the little guy didn't even realize how much stronger it had become.
Let alone the Mystic Crystal Demon Tiger.
Even higher-tier spiritual beasts at the same level would be beaten badly by the Little Azure Python!
"By the way, let's give you a name."
"You're a little female snake, so let's give you a girl's name."
"Your full name will be Qing Wan, and your nickname will be Xiao Qing."
Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Ji!"
The Little Azure Python was very happy to hear its owner giving it a name and responded cheerfully.
Then it continued to snuggle with its owner.
After that, no matter where Wang Chen went, Xiao Qing would follow closely.
Even when going to the bathroom, the little guy would squeeze through the door crack and stare at Wang Chen with its big bright eyes.
Wang Chen's face turned dark: "Xiao Qing, please go out."
"Ji!" (No!)
Wang Chen: "If you don't go out, I can't pee. Go out now!"
"Ji!" (Okay...)
Even when sleeping, Xiao Qing would cling to Wang Chen's neck and fall asleep while smelling his scent.
The next morning, Wang Chen woke up, looking at the Little Azure Snake cuddling in his arms, and fell into deep thought.
He couldn't tell if he had contracted a beast pet or a clingy girlfriend.
