Lord of Pets

Chapter 74 - Sublimation  



Chapter 74: Sublimation

When they were still some distance away from the battlefield, Bai Wushang met up with Ah Zhou who was approaching him.

At this moment, Ah Zhou’s ‘Burning Blood’ state had ended and its body had returned to its original size.

It covered its head with one hand and there were still thick blood scabs left on its mouth, nose, eyes and ears. When it ran, it staggered. Its condition was extremely bad.

“Roar!”

Seeing that its master was safe and sound, the anxious look on Ah Zhou’s face was swept away and it heaved a sigh of relief as if it had been relieved of a heavy burden.

The first thing it did was to reach out its left hand and hand it over to Bai Wushang as if it was presenting a treasure. It grinned foolishly.

The dark red Bloodline Fruit was placed flat on the Demon Ape’s palm without any damage. It emitted radiance and it was so beautiful that it made people gasp in admiration.

Bai Wushang was not in the mood to appreciate the treasure, so he took it and stuffed it into his storage backpack under the left inner armor.

“Ah Zhou… is your head still hurting?” He asked worriedly.

Looking back on the whole process of fighting for the Bloodline Fruit, it could be said that there were many twists and turns. Too many things had happened and there were too many accidents.

In particular, Luo Bing’s pet beast was a special species of psychic power type. After combining it with elixirs, it could unleash such a powerful attack.

Even though Bai Wushang had made some preparations in advance, he was helpless in the face of such an unknown thing.

If it wasn’t for Ah Zhou taking the risk to activate the skill ‘Burning Blood’, Bai Wushang would have lost.

Perhaps Ah Zhou would have been killed!

When he thought of that tragic outcome, Bai Wushang felt a lingering fear.

“Roar…”

As a member of the Demon Ape clan, Ah Zhou’s genes were there. Regardless of whether it was its dark hair, dark red horns or mighty body, no matter how one looked at it, it was extremely wild and valiant. It could easily scare a child into tears.

However, at this moment, when it saw Bai Wushang’s worried expression, Ah Zhou became listless again. In its turbid eyes, there was gentleness.

It quickly puffed out its chest and stood tall, putting on a posture of “I’m fine, this injury is nothing”.

Bai Wushang sneaked a glance at its attribute panel and immediately scolded it with a smile, “Alright, don’t try to be brave. This is a serious mental trauma. This is not a joke.”

“Fortunately, you successfully activated the ‘Burning Blood’ and withstood the soul shock wave. Your injuries didn’t continue to worsen.”

“Otherwise, if your mental state were to collapse, at best you would turn foolish, at worst you would die. I would be very sad…”

Ah Zhou scratched its ears and cheeks as if it understood something. Suddenly, it stretched out its right hand, clenched its fist and raised it in front of Bai Wushang.

In an instant, Bai Wushang understood its thoughts.

The worry on his face disappeared bit by bit, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.

Bai Wushang also stretched out a fist.

One was a black, furry big fist.

The other was a flesh-colored, small fist with exposed veins.

The two lightly collided, and a muffled thud was heard.

The man and the ape both revealed relaxed and happy smiles at the same time.

It was unknown when, but every time they experienced a successful battle, they would simply celebrate their victory in this way.

This was probably something that only men could understand. It was the kind of brotherhood where they appreciated each other and acknowledged each other.

It was as if something in his head had been broken and sublimated.

Bai Wushang was surprised at first, but then his smile became even brighter.

“Ah Zhou, the compatibility between us has reached the third level, ‘Psychic’!”

“From now on, we can transmit the most basic emotions and information through our thoughts. Our efficiency will be higher, and our coordination will be better!”

“Roar!”

Ah Zhou grinned foolishly.

Following the pet beast contract, the first emotion Bai Wushang felt was “joy”.

In addition, it also included psychological changes such as ‘understanding’ and ‘knowing’.

“Hmm… that’s it. I might not be used to it at first, but I’ll get used to it slowly!” Bai Wushang was very experienced.

Although it had only been ten days since he signed the contract with the Demon Ape, he had experienced many things.

Perhaps it was because of the repeated crises and choices that the man and ape had deepened their impression of each other. Their favorability and trust levels continued to increase. At this moment, they took advantage of the situation to break through the third threshold, they activated the “weak telepathy” ability.

Bai Wushang did not know how long it would take for the other masters to improve their compatibility, but he was sure that he belonged to the fastest category. He was comparable to those family pets that had been nurtured since young.

In other words, their partnership was extremely harmonious!

After a little practice, Ah Zhou quickly mastered the technique of using its mind to convey key emotions and messages.

“As expected, Ah Zhou, your mental age is much more mature than Milky Way’s. It’s easier to communicate, and the messages are clearer and more accurate. Unlike her, most of the messages she sends are scattered emotional fluctuations. Sometimes, I can’t even figure out what she’s trying to express…”

Bai Wushang nodded repeatedly.

If Ah Zhou’s wisdom was the same as a ten-year-old human child, then Milky Way was probably only one or two years old and was still a baby that had not grown up.

Between the two, there was a huge difference in understanding.

This required time and experience to make up for, and it wasn’t something that could be done in one go.

Thoughts floated in his mind and Bai Wushang suddenly broke into laughter, “Ah Zhou, I can’t wait for the two of you to meet. Let’s wait for the day after tomorrow. When we return to the Academy the day after tomorrow, I’ll be able to summon Milky Way.”

“At that time, you can continue to be ‘Boss Ape’, and I’ll let her be your little fangirl… After all, Milky Way’s body isn’t as big as your fist, and the little fellow isn’t good at fighting either. In the future, I’ll rely on you to protect me…”

“Roar Roar!”

The Demon Ape’s eyes quietly lit up, and it was very interested in the idea.

Little fangirl?

It sounded pretty good!

As they conversed, they returned to the killing grounds from before.

At this time, Luo Bing’s group, including the unconscious man in the yellow shirt, had all disappeared.

Even the freckled girl who had been beheaded had disappeared without a trace, and there were only traces of blood left on the ground.

“The instructor’s efficiency is quite fast. He took everything that should have been taken away. The rest should be my spoils of war in theory, right?”

Bai Wushang muttered. After thinking for a moment, he walked straight to the Cat Demon.

Perhaps it was because it was in too much pain before it died, the Cat Demon’s 2.5-meter-tall body curled up into a ball. Its dark yellow hair was filled with a mixture of soil, dust, blood, sweat and the like. It was no longer as rampant and evil as it was when it was alive, only endless desolation remained.

“Let me take a look and see if this Cat Demon has mutated. Otherwise, why was it able to crush groups of transcendent creatures, and could even kill a mature form in a one-on-two fight…”

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Bai Wushang had just stepped within ten meters of the Cat Demon.
