Astral Pet Store

Chapter 481 Bloodline Evolution

Su Ping felt the astral powers inside him had become even more compact after the test. He was still at the seventh-rank but the richness of his astral powers could compare to the peak of the eighth rank!

His astral powers could even soar to the upper position of the ninth rank with the help of the Star Prism!

Next, Su Ping took his pets to take a bath in the spring, which was their favorite.

In the spring, the Inferno Dragon hid the lower half of its body in the water and leaned against the edge. The Inferno Dragon enjoyed the bath with its eyes squinted when all of a sudden it blurted out some words that could be barely made out.

“Tho good...”

Su Ping became speechless due to his astonishment.

The Dark Dragon Hound, which was trying all manners of dog paddling, the Little Skeleton, which had its bones scattered at the bottom of the spring, and the Purple Python... All turned to see the Inferno Dragon in a daze.

...Am I hearing things? Su Ping wondered.

Did the Inferno Dragon... just speak the human language?

“Was that you? Can you say something else?” Su Ping asked in a hurry.

The Inferno Dragon didn’t understand why everyone was looking at it. “Thay... wat?” The Inferno Dragon blinked in confusion.

Su Ping opened his eyes wide in surprise. Even though the Inferno Dragon couldn’t articulate properly, it was speaking the human language! In normal conditions, only beast kings were able to master human speech! If flying was an indicator of the titled rank, speaking the human language was a symbol of beast kings! Also, not every beast king was able to do this.

For example, the Swamp War Crocodile that he recently got was a beast king but didn’t understand the human language; he would need to spend some time teaching the crocodile.

Beast kings had intelligence. The human language was not the only one that beast kings could speak; they could also speak languages of other races. Having such abilities, beast kings were regarded as the evolution of wild animals into creatures with intelligence!

It had never occurred to Su Ping that the Inferno Dragon would be able to start talking when it was merely at the seventh rank!

All of a sudden, he remembered the material he had bought from the system’s shop, the one that could improve the pet’s understanding power!

The Little Skeleton and the Dark Dragon Hound were unable to speak. The Inferno Dragon was the only one. The reason, evidently, was because of that material. Those were energy points well spent!

Speaking the human language would not improve the Inferno Dragon’s combat strength. Still, this ability meant that the Inferno Dragon’s power of understanding was so high that the pet could very likely perceive and come up with some skills all by itself! “Come on. Say something else,” Su Ping said again.

The Inferno Dragon was speaking like a three-year-old kid. It would speak with a lisp. Su Ping had to guide the Inferno Dragon to practice more so that it would master this new skill sooner.

“Thay... wat?” The Inferno Dragon blinked in confusion.

Su Ping came up with an idea. “Count off.” “Wat ov?”

“Well, let’s try something simple. Three thousand thieves have six thousand thumbs.”

“Tree...”

The Inferno Dragon was stuck after merely one word. It blinked its googly eyes. Su Ping was immediately overrun by a burst of heartless laughter. The Dark Dragon Hound laughed itself into convulsions, stirring up a lot of water in the spring. At the bottom of the spring, the Little Skeleton was shivering as it laughed.

Hiss, hiss!

The Purple Python opened its mouth and its tongue twisted. That laughter was scary enough to make people cry. Su Ping was glad that the Inferno Dragon was able to speak the human language. He believed that the material he had bought was not the only contributing factor. When he was at the store he would usually tell the Inferno Dragon, the Little Skeleton, and the Dark Dragon Hound to stay in the nursing pens which was able to nurture them.

Even Joanna liked to spend her free time in the nursing pen.

The aura in the nursing pen was able to slowly improve their power of understanding. The effect was not as obvious as that material but could be built up day after day.

After they had finished their baths, Su Ping told the pets to go and train with some Celestial Gods when he went to a place to consume the herbs that the Zhong Family had given him.

He told himself that he had to progress as soon as possible. He had been cultivating faster than the average warrior, but that was still not fast enough for him.

For example, he couldn’t make the Swamp War Crocodile his pet yet. He didn’t plan on signing a contract with the Swamp War Crocodile, to begin with. That being said, what if the Incubation Pool could come up with a beast king at the prime of its state, and one with an extremely rare bloodline at that? He would be so frustrated if he could only sit around and look at it.

Time flew.

They had spent days in the Demigod Burial.

Su Ping was reaching an end in his cultivation as well. The herbs and the cultivation method together had promoted him from the lower position to the upper position of the seventh rank within a matter of days!

The foundation was not solid; however, he could go back next time for another round of Heaven’s Testing. After the foundation was solidified, he believed he would stay at the intermediate position of the seventh rank.

At a certain point during his cultivation, Joanna came to him with a weird look on her face. “Your Little Skeleton seems to be evolving. Do you want to go and have a look?” “Evolving?”

Su Ping stopped cultivating. He remembered the Skeleton King’s bloodline. Had the Little Skeleton finished absorbing the blood crystal?

Surprised, Su Ping hurried over with Joanna.

They went to a sports field.

Several True Gods and Celestial Gods were there as well, while a God Warrior was in charge. There was an oval in the middle of the field, a blood-red cocoon!

The cocoon was more than two meters tall. Su Ping could pick up a strong and pungent smell of blood even while standing outside the field, as if he were standing in a hell filled with blood.

The contract told him that it was the Little Skeleton that was inside the blood cocoon.

Joanna called over a Celestial God. The Celestial God ran to where Su Ping was and, as required by Joanna, told Su Ping what happened.

The Little Skeleton was practicing saberplay with the Celestial God when a strong burst of energy surged up over the Little Skeleton all of sudden. Gradually, a cocoon appeared and wrapped the Little Skeleton.

“Is your Little Skeleton a descendant of the Skeleton King?”

Joanna gazed at the blood-red cocoon as she asked Su Ping

The fact that the skeleton was different from others was not new to her. But she had never linked the Little Skeleton with the Skeleton King. It was said that the Skeleton King’s race had been sealed in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead and later became extinct. It was a surprise that the Skeleton King had a live descendant and it was in Su Ping’s hand. Su Ping nodded. He didn’t reveal the truth.

The Little Skeleton was not a descendant. It just got the Skeleton King’s bloodline from that blood crystal.

He grabbed the blood crystal from the food of that white skeleton that had discarded the blood crystal. He could imagine how powerful the white skeleton he saw had been.

“The Skeleton King’s race had creatures that were at the Star Rank. It was said that their king had become a god!” Joanna squinted her eyes. Creatures at the Star Rank were comparable to God Warriors. As for the king, it should be as strong as Joanna’s true self.

Being a descendant of the Skeleton King, the Little Skeleton had the potential to become a god one day!
