Legend of the Asura

A golden spear, a set of golden armour, a red earring, a white glowing shield, several Silver Equipment, several low grade recovery and blue herbs, several dozen gold coins, and two dark wooden tokens.  Feng Xiao quickly put these items into his inventory.

The experience from a level 35 Gold Boss was enough to bring Xiao Xiao to level 13.

"Ding, your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin has reached level 13.  HP +7, MP +10, Attack +3, Magic Attack +5, Defense +3."

Suddenly, five different coloured lights was released from Xiao Xiao and it was dazzling in the dark Death God's Tomb.  Blue, red, green, purple, and yellow, five different colours intertwined with a vague grayish white gas floating around.  At the same time, the Spirit Spearmen had recovered from their abnormal states, immediately rushing forward with their partners who had just respawned.

"Xiao Xiao, let's go."

"Ding!  Your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin is currently evolving and cannot be summoned back."

"My god!"

Feng Xiao planned on fleeing with the Infinite Space Gate right after killing the Golden Spirit Knight, but he never thought that Xiao Xiao would evolve at this time.

Feng Xiao was not worried about himself at all.  Although his attack and accuracy had fallen by 70%, the remaining few seconds of the Xuanyuan Sacred Flames double attack and absolute critical chance was enough for him to instantly kill these small soldiers.  Even with his four main stats dropping, his HP recovery each second was shockingly over two hundred, so it was hard to die.

But for Xiao Xiao, just a single spear from these small soldiers was enough to kill it.

"Asura Yama Wave!"

All the spearmen fell into various abnormal conditions again.  The ones that had fallen into confusion began to attack their own comrades.

Feng Xiao gave a sigh of relief as he began to intensely watch over Xiao Xiao's evolution.

When pets were growing, if they met a certain condition, they would have a chance of evolving.  However, this chance was as small as the chance of a meteor hitting the earth.

The first time Xiao Xiao was released, not to mentioning fighting monsters, it evolved before it even farted.  This made Feng Xiao doubt if this kid was soaked in his auspicious aura.

The five coloured lights became stronger and another prompt sounded in Feng Xiao's ears.

"Ding, your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin has evolved into a sixth grade pet.  It has returned to its initial condition and will grow once again.

Pets would return to level 0 after evolving, then they would slowly return to their normal levels.

Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin: Level 0, Sixth Grade Pet

Stats:

HP: 100

MP: 150

Attack: 50

Magical Attack: 70

Defense: 50

Innate Skill: Has a certain immunity to magical attacks.  Seven types of resistances +10%.

The other stats did not change.

"Not bad, all of its stats actually increased."

"Ding, your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin has reached level 1.  HP +10, MP +15, Attack +5, Magic Attack +10, Defense +5."

"Ding, your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin has reached level 2.  HP +10, MP +15, Attack +5, Magic Attack +10, Defense +5."

When Xiao Xiao began to grow, after five seconds, the recovered Spirit Spearmen charged with their spears again.

Feng Xiao secretly cursed.  He had actually forgotten to clean up these fellows just now.

"Absolute Time Domain!"

The world was quiet, but Xiao Xiao and the system notifications were not affected.

"Ding, your pet, Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin has reached level 14.  HP +10, MP +15, Attack +5, Magic Attack +10, Defense +5."

When Xiao Xiao finished evolving, other than being a bit larger than before, there was no changed with its body.

Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin: Level 13, Sixth Grade Pet

Stats:

HP: 230

MP: 345

Attack: 115

Magical Attack: 200

Defense: 115

"The quest is complete, time for the workers to leave!"

"Infinite Space Gate!"

The scene changed again and Feng Xiao appeared in the Heavenly Dragon Square resurrection point, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Feng Xiao's original plan was to use the Yama Wave to stop the Golden Spirit Knight and the mobs and would use the Absolute Time Domain if anything happened.  Then he would release Xiao Xiao before using the Xuanyuan First Form to instantly kill the Golden Spirit Knight and immediately returning. He would immediately log off and would log on the next day when the Xuanyuan First Form's weakening effect was over.  (The three hour weakening effect includes time spent offline.)

He never thought there would be two abnormalities.  The first was the Golden Spirit Knights quick recovery and attack, and the second was Xiao Xiao's evolution.

It was good he had the incomparably strong Absolute Time Domain that could even stop other skills.  There were no other skills that could compare to it. Otherwise, once Feng Xiao was hit, although he could escape after five seconds, Xiao Xiao would die in those five seconds.

"Young master Feng, where are you?"  An ice cold voice came from the communication device.

Feng Xiao looked around and said, "Five meters behind you."

Maniac was a maniac, he was even called Maniac in the game.  He arrived in front of Feng Xiao without a single expression as he said in an emotionless voice, "Money!"

It was a good thing Feng Xiao was used to Maniac's personality and style, otherwise this kind of servant would make a master completely enraged.

Feng Xiao also emotionlessly traded the money to Maniac because any expressions in front of him was just a waste of energy.

When he received the entire ten million, Maniac did not reveal any surprise or happiness.  He just left a few words before turning to leave.

"I'll get to work, be assured."

"......"

"Che~If I wasn't assured, would I dare give all that money to you?"

"This man who came back from hell, what kind of pleasant surprise will he give me?"  Watching Maniac's weak back, Feng Xiao was filled with expectations.

When Feng Xiao logged off, it was already ten at night, but Feng Yao was still in the game.  Seeing his little sister with an elegant faint smile in the gaming chamber, Feng Xiao felt a warm and affectionate feeling in his heart.

Not disturbing his little sister, Feng Xiao began to browse the «Rebirth» official forum.  He found that the «Rebirth» forum had exploded and it was almost completely filled with today's matter.

«The level ranking's first place raised another level, is he broken or is it a bug!»

«The pet ranking's opening.  Is it a real qilin or a fake?»

«Why is the world's strongest qilin just a grade five pet.  Guesses relating to the pet ranking's Nether Five Elemental Saint Qilin.»

«Buying equipment on the equipment ranking for a high price.  Contact XXXXXXXXX, price negotiations in person.»

«Fuck!  Ten million gold coins.  I'll ooxx your entire family Ascend Group, if there's nothing underhanded, father will cut off my own jj»

[TL Note: jj means your joy stick.]

«Two more Spiritual Equipment on the equipment ranking again.»

«I am the level ranking's first place Asura, I'm currently looking for a wife.  Don't come if you're not a beautiful woman.»

There were various types of posts and the center of these things were all mostly about Feng Xiao.  Fantasies, gossips, guesses, envy, jealousy equal to sour grapes, tricksters, swindlers, people making up bullshit, and people sleep talking in the middle of the night…..

There were two posts with high hits that attracted Feng Xiao's attention.

One was called «Guesses about the Asura»: "......The appearance of the Asura was very shocking.  When the ranking opened, the Hidden Asura Job had appeared and was first place on the ranking. Its level kept increasing and it kept pulling away from the other players, showing the superiority and strength of Hidden Jobs.  The strength of the Asura will inevitably increase the passion in «Rebirth» to find a Hidden Job."

"To be able to become an Asura at the beginning of the game, one must have finished a very hard Hidden Quest and finishing this hard quest means one would obtain a large amount of Prestige.  However, on the level rankings, the prestigious person in first place has hidden their name. Therefore, I can be at least 90% certain that the person in first place on the Prestige rankings is also the Asura.  At the same time, through inferences, the person with the pet is also the Asura because when the pet rankings opened, the person in first place on the Prestige rankings also gained 300 Prestige. I think that many players must have also noticed this."

"Speaking of the equipment ranking, there is no question that the shocking Divine Item, the Asura's Illusion must be related to the Asura.  For the other nine powerful items, other than two of them, the owner has hidden the name for the rest! Being on the list is the easiest way to become famous in «Rebirth», so why hide your name?  But the person accustomed to hiding their name and the one who hides it the most is the Asura. From this, I can make a terrifying conclusions: The other eight pieces of equipment all belong to the Asura because he has the ability to obtain these equipment.  Of course, this is all my personal opinion and it doesn't mean that other players aren't hiding their names to protect themselves from being robbed."

"Why would the Asura hide their name?  I think that it is because this person's background is not deep and should be playing the game alone, so to avoid being chased by people, they intelligently hid their name.  Of course, they could be preparing something that wouldn't be called shocking, but rather earth shaking. I can't rule out this mystery, they could be pretending to be broken…..

"Finally, those players insisting there is a bug with «Rebirth», please stop these brainless discussions because this is an insult to the great ‘Ying Luo' goddess.  She is a god like existence and would not allow a single bug. As for the people that are whining or feeling jealous about someone obtaining a Divine Item, stop wasting time and effort on complaining and use it to find your chance!"

"Genius, a genius!  Being able to infer all of this, he really is a genius."  Feng Xiao was filled with admiration for this person. Although not all his words were right, it was still 80-90% correct.

The reason why he hid his name was to prevent people chasing him.  Although he wasn't worried, he couldn't help being worried for his little sister.

The other post attracted his attention because it was about a person he was interested in, Hen Tian!

«God!  Has a god descended to earth?  A single person actually dueled twenty high level players!»

"......I cannot forget that scene.  That red haired giant sword wielding warrior was like a devil, harvesting the lives of my teammates…..Not a single person could take a move from him and the damage we caused him was a pitiful one point…..Twenty level 15 players who could be considered experts in the game was all taken care of by one person in ten minutes…..It was a pity that I even forgot to breath from fear in that moment, forgetting to film it…..After that, I knew his name, the second place on the level rankings, Hen Tian….."

The replies to this discussion was filled with disdain.

"Looking at this post, I feel a sense of superiority in terms of IQ….."

"Che!  Such skillful bragging.  Speak a bit of truth, alright….."

"One person challenging twenty?  Do you think you're filming a movie…."

"Poster, please don't insult our intelligence!"

"Idiot poster…..please get yourself checked!"

"Idiot poster!"

"Hen Tian?"  Feng Xiao considered this name and his eyes slowly narrowed into slits.

"Fighting twenty by yourself, I can also do that now."
