Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

Chapter 5: First Hunt of the Monster Beast, Sister Stunned!



Xiao Xingyu left the examination venue and set off on his way home.

 

Along the way, a rare childlike smile appeared on his face.

 

"When I get home, my sister will definitely be shocked when she sees the admission letter from Azure Dragon Academy in my hand."

 

"Awoo~"

 

Beside Xiao Xingyu, the Hell Gale Wolf followed closely, like a big bodyguard, letting out cheerful howls.

 

In fact, one could still see the shadow of a husky in the Hell Gale Wolf's eyes.

 

That's right, this imposing beast was originally the Gale Hound that Xiao Xingyu had picked up outside the beast shop.

 

Xiao Xingyu used a bloodline awakening crystal to activate the hidden bloodline (Hell Bloodline) within the Gale Hound.

 

After the bloodline awakened, the Gale Hound transformed into the current Hell Gale Wolf, helping Xiao Xingyu easily pass the national examination.

 

"Ding~"

 

A system notification echoed in Xiao Xingyu's mind.

 

"Congratulations, host, for completing the system task and successfully getting accepted into Azure Dragon Academy."

 

"Reward issued: One [Dark Attribute Fusion Crystal] +300 points."

 

Xiao Xingyu opened the system warehouse with his mind, and a crystal appeared in the warehouse section.

 

This was a Dark Attribute Fusion Crystal, which could help a beast fuse with shadow attributes.

 

Currently, the Hell Gale Wolf had two attributes: fire and wind.

 

Once it fused with the shadow attribute, it would become a three-attribute beast, with limitless potential.

 

Xiao Xingyu's lips curled up.

 

"Black Blade, you should be thankful that you are the first beast I contracted."

 

"Before I contract my second beast, all the good stuff will be used on you."

 

"Awoo~~~"

 

The Hell Gale Wolf was overjoyed, circling around Xiao Xingyu, its tail, which burned with black flames, wagging excitedly.

 

"Ding~"

 

"The system shop has been opened."

 

Xiao Xingyu felt a surge of energy, and the system shop interface appeared before him. As he browsed, he muttered to himself.

 

"This interface is just like a shopping app, complete with a 'recommended for you' feature. If I want to shop, I need to spend points."

 

The system shop sold various treasures that helped beasts evolve, as well as monster beast crystals.

 

Xiao Xingyu's current account balance: 300 points.

 

However, the cheapest item in the system shop, Fire Spirit Grass, cost 800 points.

 

"Good things come to those who wait; I guess I'll have to save up slowly."

 

"Black Blade, let's go home!"

 

Under the setting sun, the remaining warmth of the light stretched the shadows of the boy and the wolf long.

 

On the way home, Xiao Xingyu's pocket vibrated.

 

He pulled out his old phone and answered the call.

 

"Hello, Sister, I'm on my way home. I'll be there soon… Huh? It’s really noisy around you; are you not at home?"

 

Xiao Ruoxue's voice came through.

 

"Xingyu, I'm at the market! What do you want to eat? Just say it; I just got my paycheck!"

 

"I want to eat…"

 

Xiao Xingyu elongated the last syllable, genuinely pondering.

 

"Boom!"

 

Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted from the phone, deeply shocking Xiao Xingyu's eardrums.

 

The smile on Xiao Xingyu's face instantly froze.

 

"Sister, what happened? Are you okay?"

 

"Xingyu, I..."

 

The signal cut off, leaving only a series of static noises.

 

"Black Blade, let's go to the market!"

 

Awwo!

 

In the outskirts of Qingfeng City, there was a farmer's market.

 

At that moment, it had turned into a sea of flames, billowing thick smoke.

 

The ruined streets were filled with people's cries.

 

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

 

"Run! Monster beasts are invading!"

 

"Help, help…"

 

"Blood! Brains! Intestines! Ahhh!"

 

A gigantic poisonous scorpion had invaded the makeshift market.

 

This was a beginner-level monster beast, the Poison Tail Scorpion.

 

Even though it was the lowest level, it was like a reaper to unarmed ordinary humans!

 

The Poison Tail Scorpion grinned bloodthirstily, using its sharp tail to pierce through one human after another, then devouring them slowly.

 

Despite multiple casualties from the incident, there were no rescue personnel in sight.

 

This was the outskirts, where the residents were impoverished people struggling to make ends meet.

 

The number of beast masters in the entire city was limited, mostly stationed in the city center and affluent areas.

 

As for the slums in the outskirts, nobody cared about what happened there.

 

Just as the market's roof was about to collapse, a woman in her twenties stumbled out.

 

Though dressed plainly, she had a stunningly beautiful face and an alluring figure, with flowing silver hair cascading down her shoulders.

 

This silver-haired beauty was Xiao Xingyu's sister, Xiao Ruoxue.

 

Thud~

 

A little girl tripped and fell, scraping her knee while trying to escape.

 

Xiao Ruoxue rushed over to help the girl up.

 

"Are you okay?"

 

"Big sister, thank you."

 

At that moment, a massive shadow loomed over the two of them. 

 

Xiao Ruoxue held the little girl tightly and turned her head.

 

The sharp stinger of the Poison Tail Scorpion was less than a meter away from her face!

 

"Big sister, are we going to die?" 

 

The little girl curled up in Xiao Ruoxue's arms, trembling in fear.

 

Seeing the terrified expression on the little girl's face, the Poison Tail Scorpion became even more excited, green saliva dripping from its mouth.

 

Xiao Ruoxue furrowed her brows, her pupils gradually transforming into slits!

 

It should be noted that in the entire beast master world, only purebred dragon-type beasts have slitted pupils.

 

Awooo!

 

At this critical moment, a wolf's howl shook the heavens and the earth.

 

With a thunderous crash, the Poison Tail Scorpion was knocked to the ground, its thick shell shredded by the wolf's claws, its stinking innards exposed to the foul air.

 

The panicking people halted, all looking in the same direction.

 

In the setting sun, a tall figure stood there, draped in the Azure Dragon Academy's beast master robe.

 

Beside the boy was a giant wolf, its body engulfed in black flames.

 

"Isn't that Xiao Yu?"

 

"This kid has become a beast master?"

 

"The Azure Dragon Academy's beast master robe…"

 

"Heavens, this child used to climb walls to peek at me while I was bathing, and now he’s accomplished so much!"

 

As childhood secrets were exposed, Xiao Xingyu rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassed.

 

"Cough, Aunt Wang, please, don’t bring up my childhood."

 

Now, Xiao Xingyu was a nationally recognized genius and wanted to maintain his dignity.

 

"Xiao Yu, you..."

 

Xiao Ruoxue's pupils returned to normal, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar brother with a confused expression.

 

"Sis, I got accepted into Azure Dragon Academy! From now on, I’ll make sure you live a good life."

 

"By the way, let me introduce you to my first contracted beast, the Hell Gale Wolf, nicknamed Black Blade."

 

Awooo~

 

"Black Blade says hello, it's nice to meet you for the first time, and you’re really beautiful..."

 

Xiao Ruoxue twitched her mouth: "It just howled once, and you translated so much?"

 

"This monster isn't dead yet!"

 

"Everyone, scatter!"

 

The Poison Tail Scorpion took a moment to recover and rose from the ground, green blood gushing from its wounds.

 

"Sis, you rest for a bit. I’ll take care of this monster."

 

Xiao Xingyu always wore a sunny, gentle smile when facing his sister.

 

But when he turned to face the monster, his eyes sparkled like lightning, radiating an invisible aura of killing intent.

 

The Hell Gale Wolf sensed its master’s will and let out a deafening roar at the Poison Tail Scorpion.

 

The Poison Tail Scorpion retreated repeatedly, revealing a look of terror.

 

This was bloodline suppression!

 

In terms of level, both the Hell Gale Wolf and the Poison Tail Scorpion were beginner-level.

 

The biggest difference between them was their bloodline.

 

The Poison Tail Scorpion had an ordinary quality bloodline.

 

While the Hell Gale Wolf had an epic quality bloodline.

 

The vast disparity in bloodlines left the Poison Tail Scorpion without even an ounce of courage to resist.

 

As the Hell Gale Wolf slowly approached, the Poison Tail Scorpion was so frightened it could barely hold itself together and turned to flee.

 

"Want to escape?"

 

"You scared my sister!"

 

"Die!"

 

Xiao Xingyu issued the command, and the Hell Gale Wolf opened its massive jaws, unleashing its ultimate skill.
