He had returned to his true form without any preparation.

Golden Yuanbao, however, took it well.

It's just a species name; it doesn't affect Xiao Ye always being Xiao Ye.

Seeing Golden Yuanbao's calm reaction, Mingxi didn't dwell on it. Thunder Demon Sky it is; as long as it wasn't Wutian, she'd be grateful.

Her attention returned to the inspection report.

After evolving into a Venerable-level Transcendent creature, Golden Yuanbao's improvement could be described as a complete transformation.

First, its talent.

【Talent: SSS- → Ω】

Ω, Mingxi remembered, was a Greek letter.

In mathematics, it represents the angular velocity of a sine function; in physics, it's also angular velocity; in chemistry, it denotes mass fraction.

It's read as omega.

...Search?

Our little housekeeper, Guangguang, came online, its large eyes becoming even more animated.

"This letter represents infinity and also the meaning of rules."

Guangguang stroked its non-existent beard profoundly, "This talent level signifies that Thunder Demon Sky has truly stepped out of the Transcendent stage and entered the Super God stage.

This means that Thunder Demon Sky has the opportunity to truly evolve into God Rank, or even Super God Rank, in the future.

The appearance of this talent level is a prerequisite for a Venerable-level Transcendent creature to evolve into God Rank."

Mingxi let out an 'eh-heh'.

"Is this kind of breakthrough very difficult?"

Because of the Creation Chamber, even someone as unlucky as Golden Yuanbao could get about 10 talent points from the Time Realm every day.

It was still a very long way from 99,999 talent points, but this was a grinding process; as long as she and Golden Yuanbao lived long lives, they would eventually accumulate enough.

She hadn't expected that after Golden Yuanbao evolved, its talent would also transform.

Ω level!

The numerical talent value had disappeared entirely; it seemed it no longer needed talent points.

"Of course it's difficult!"

Guangguang's tone inexplicably carried a hint of arrogance, "To describe it in the words of humans from your previous life, its transformation is equivalent to a leap in life level, from a mortal body to an immortal body and divine fetus. Do you think that's difficult or not difficult?

Let's just say, the probability of a Transcendent creature breaking through to Ω talent immediately after evolving to Venerable-level is even lower than winning the lottery."

Mingxi smiled like a little kid who had just picked up a piece of chocolate from the ground, "Sure enough, my Golden Yuanbao has great luck!"

What if Golden Yuanbao had bad luck? What if its numerical talent was surpassed by the weakest Black Pearl?

Evolution changes destiny!

"Lei Lei."

Xiao Ye is just that excellent.

A pet beast resembles its Beast Tamers; Golden Yuanbao and Mingxi had different faces but the same expression.

"Luo!"

Hmph!

Little Silver Flower, who had suffered a crushing defeat in the previous competition, let out a loud snort through its nose.

These past two days, it had been more difficult to deal with than a certain author during her Aunt's visit.

It found energy pills too dry, potions too bitter, sleeping a waste of time, and resting spiritually empty... In short, everything it saw was displeasing, and everything it looked at was wrong.

Mingxi knew it was feeling resentful.

When had the competitive Angel Dragon ever felt so aggrieved?

Furthermore, Golden Yuanbao had heroically completed a one-versus-three feat and evolved to Venerable-level during the competition.

How could it not feel sour?

Jealousy makes Transcendent creatures unrecognizable.

However, Mingxi didn't specifically comfort it, as Little Silver Flower was just throwing a minor tantrum and tricked her into giving it more pet snacks; in reality, its emotions were very stable.

"Don't worry, Golden Yuanbao has evolved, so you must not be far behind."

Although Little Silver Flower didn't need her comfort, Mingxi still stroked its fur, just in case it secretly put castor beans in Golden Yuanbao's energy pills.

"Luo." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

I think so too.

Little Silver Flower instantly regained its confidence.

Mingxi continued to study Golden Yuanbao's inspection report.

Its characteristics had undergone significant changes.

【Characteristic One: Supreme · Thunder Edict

Unlocked Thunder: Purple Thunder, White Thunder, Golden Thunder, Green Thunder, Red Thunder

Description:

Purple Thunder — Thunder Pole Charge: When encountering thunderstorms or thunderous weather, it additionally restores about 5% of its total energy value per second, and has a 30% chance to be immune to control, poisoning, and Curse-type skills;

White Thunder — Lightning Resonance: When natural lightning strikes its body, it blesses any one lightning-type skill released next, doubling its damage, armor penetration, and hit rate.

Golden Thunder — Demon-Slaying and Righteousness-Manifesting: Increases final damage by 50% against ghost and Demon-type targets, and comes with a 'Demon-Slaying' effect, directly dispelling one buff from the target.

Green Thunder — Endless Life: When receiving healing and support in the form of light, life, or plant energy, healing and support effects are additionally increased by 30%. When receiving healing while not injured, the overflow healing will be converted into an absolute shield lasting 2 seconds.

Red Thunder — Thunderfire Burning Heart: When using a skill and hitting a target, there is a 50% chance to apply a 'Thunderfire' mark to the target, causing it to enter a 'Paralysis' state for 3 seconds.】

Guangguang sighed, "All five-colored divine thunders are unlocked, how amazing."

In fact, when Golden Yuanbao evolved to Saint-level, its 【Thunder Edict】 had already unlocked three colors: purple, white, and gold!

At Venerable-level, it awakened Green Thunder and Red Thunder.

【Characteristic Two: Supreme · Vajra Subduing Demons

Unlocked Heart Locks: Immovable, Wrathful Gaze, Tranquility

Description:

Immovable: After entering combat, willpower is exceptionally firm, unshakeable by any circumstances;

Wrathful Gaze: When accumulated damage exceeds the physical threshold, it enters an absolute will state, immune to all mental control, including but not limited to fear, confusion, and other mental interferences;

Tranquility: After successfully resisting a mental control, immediately clear all negative statuses on itself, and for the next 5 seconds, the effect of continuous damage (such as poisoning, Curse) received is reduced by 80%;

Demon Suppression: When attacking enemies in 'fear', 'confusion' or other similar states, damage is doubled, and this attack will carry a certain degree of mental deterrence.】

【Characteristic Three: Supreme · Desire Stasis

Description:

Physical Desire Deprivation: When this domain is activated, a static field lasting 5 seconds can be created in the target area. All enemies within the field will be randomly deprived of a portion of their physical desires. Physical desires, also known as sensory desires, include but are not limited to the desire to see, hear, smell, taste, etc.

Spiritual Desire Deprivation: Can randomly deprive a portion of spiritual desires. Spiritual desires, also known as mental desires, include the desire for knowledge, exploration, artistic pursuit, self-realization, pursuit of ideals, etc.

Note: Physical Desire Deprivation and Spiritual Desire Deprivation cannot be triggered simultaneously.】

Characteristics Four and Five didn't change much; Mingxi got what she wished for, her dream came true, and the anti-position Demon in the Mirror World broke through 1, gaining the opportunity to nurture 2.

As for Characteristic Six...

It had changed at Saint-level, and became even more exaggerated after evolving to Venerable-level.

【Characteristic Six: Edict · Slaughter Hell

Description:

Edict · Burning Blood: Burns its own blood, with every 500cc as one unit, to forcibly increase the burst power and lethality of original skills, lasting five minutes;

Edict · Slaughter: For every 2000cc of blood lost, construct a Slaughter Barrier centered on the main body. Burst power and lethality will be twice the original, and can stack with Burning Blood, lasting five minutes;

Edict · Blood for Blood: Under Burning Blood or Slaughter state, when all enemies deal damage to the main body, one-fifth of their damage will be recorded as 'blood debt', and will be reflected back as equal damage one minute later.

Edict · Torture Device: When simultaneously in Burning Blood and Slaughter states, a blood-constructed energy torture device can be created to achieve purposes such as binding, control, and output.】

"Holy crap! Edict-level characteristics have appeared!!!"

Listen!

Guangguang's breaking down voice.

Mingxi naturally also noticed this unique word.

"Edict? You said before that characteristics only had two types, ordinary and supreme? How did an Edict suddenly appear?"

Mingxi questioned.

Guangguang explained, "Master, you're really silly, truly.

Isn't it obvious?

Edict characteristics appeared because of Thunder Demon Sky's talent; only Ω-level talent can awaken Edict talent.

If you ask whether Edict or Supreme is more powerful?

Actually, they're pretty similar.

After all, neither Edict nor Supreme can be awakened by just any Transcendent creature.

However, Edict is closer to rules.

Oh, I remember an incredibly powerful Edict skill that appeared in ancient times, called Edict Enhancement.

This skill was very interesting, a bit like a spirit-word, releasing Edicts by consuming energy, such as Energy Enhancement, Fire-type Skill Enhancement, Speed Enhancement, etc. It was recognized as the strongest support skill in ancient times.

This skill belongs to the four major superpower systems, Super God Rank, you know. Maybe Thunder Demon Sky and the others will have a chance to awaken it."

Mingxi performed a cross-eyed stare at the sky.

She hadn't even fully understood God Rank skills yet, and her own life was still teetering on the edge of life and death.

It was unnecessary to be overly ambitious and think about unrealistic things.

Super God, Super God Rank skills, and such, were not what they should be pursuing right now.

Step by step, take it one foot at a time.

"Just with its characteristics, Golden Yuanbao is already too strong to be a proper Venerable-level pet beast.

Defense, special attack, enhancement, recovery, support capabilities, etc., it's too comprehensive."

As Longhua Country's most valued genius, Mingxi had seen detailed information on many Venerable-level pet beasts, including He Ningqi's strongest pet beast.

So she was very clear about what a proper Venerable-level pet beast was like.

Not to mention, this was just its characteristics.

And skills were the real highlight.

The new skills Golden Yuanbao gained at Saint-level, besides Limitless Exile, Anti-Energy Lightning Attraction, and Ten Thousand Thunder Sky Prison, included two Abyss series skills: Abyss of Stripping and Abyss of Sighs.

Abyss of Stripping is somewhat similar to 【Desire Stasis】, but the latter randomly strips desires, while the former temporarily strips a portion of the target's energy value. How much can be stripped depends on proficiency.

However, this skill isn't very useful in high-level competitive matches. At the Saint-level and Venerable-level pet beast stages, trying to win purely by consuming energy value is a bit unrealistic.

Therefore, Golden Yuanbao never had a chance to use it in these few matches.

As for Abyss of Sighs, it's a mental attack skill, similar to babbling, which can affect the target's mental world.

Golden Yuanbao's strengths are willpower and burst power, but in terms of mental power cultivation... even she, a Beast Tamers who dotes on her pet beast without limits, couldn't honestly say it was very strong.

Because of this, it didn't attach much importance to this skill, even somewhat neglecting it.

And this time, evolving to Venerable-level...

The last two skills of the Abyss series, Abyss of Tears and Abyss of Fallen, also awakened!

"So from now on... Golden Yuanbao can summon a divine dragon!"

As mentioned before, awakening all seven Abyss skills allows for the summoning of the Abyss, which is the Demon-type's strongest God Rank domain skill — Evernight Purgatory.

So whether the Abyss skills are strong or not can be temporarily disregarded.

But Evernight Purgatory must be strong!

"If this Evernight Purgatory can be combined with Evil Shadow Devour... Hiss... I say Golden Yuanbao is the strongest Transcendent creature in the world, no one would object, right?"

Golden Yuanbao tilted its head slightly, a proud expression on its face.

The other treasures: "..."

(눈 ‸ 눈）

(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ)

ʘ ᴗ ʘ

So annoying.

Angry.

I need to be polite.

"Alright, I'll adjust the tactics for the afternoon's final."

Golden Yuanbao's evolution to Venerable-level significantly increased its strength, so the strategy for the final against Lu Meiti had to change.

Lu Meiti's side was probably also in a panic because of Golden Yuanbao's sudden evolution.

This could also be exploited.

Around 12 PM, the stadium entrance was already bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, so crowded that one could smell sweat from the front and farts from the back.

It was even more exaggerated than a tourist attraction during the National Day holiday.

"Damn it! Which little brat stepped on my heel!?"

"Don't push, don't push anymore, my bones are getting light from being squeezed."

"What's your light bone compared to... someone's big buns, modified by Milk Gourd, are about to explode from being squeezed!"

"This stadium is only so big, how can it fit so many people? Don't tell me all these people have tickets?"

"I heard a lot of sky seats were opened this afternoon."

"If I had known there would be so many people, I would have watched the live broadcast at home."

"Live broadcast isn't as good as being here in person. Maybe you can even interact directly with the players and get autographs from the players and their pet beasts. That would be a fortune."

"These past few days, scalpers have made a killing."

"..."

Just then, a 'smart' person being pushed forward suddenly asked his friend beside him, "Who do you think has a better chance of winning this singles final? I personally lean towards Ming — Ugh!"

The name he was about to utter was still stuck in his throat when his friend beside him clapped a hand over his mouth.

"Damn it, are you trying to die, you kid, discussing this issue in a place like this? If you want to die, don't you dare drag me down with you!"

As Mingxi defeated the strongest dark horse, Bing Mei, with an overwhelming momentum, the audience quickly split into two major factions.

One faction supported Mingxi to reach the top, while the other insisted Lu Meiti could defend her title.

These two factions even showed a trend of equally matched opposition, with supporters roughly split fifty-fifty.

This directly led to 'rivers of blood' in the clashes between the two factions' supporters.

Not only did online trolls occupy the high ground, but various fights and brawls also occurred in the real world because of this issue.

This 'smart' person 'spouting nonsense' in this crowded environment was like lighting a lamp in an outhouse — asking for trouble!

"..."

Feeling the cold or murderous gazes projected from all directions, the 'smart' person's hair stood on end, and he ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) looked gratefully at his brother.

The grace of saving his life, should he repay it by offering himself?

14:00 sharp.

The singles final began.

The players ascended the command platform.

The audience cheered, blessed, and shouted for their respective supported players with their highest enthusiasm!
