Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 511 - 478: A Special Way of Maturing

Secret Phoenix Airport, Tang Qi slowly walked down from the Rainbow Parrot with "Gluttony" in tow, now back in his "wizard" attire, and Gluttony had reverted to the form of a suitcase.

Looking through the glass windows of the corridor, he saw Secret Phoenix City enveloped in the darkness of night. The five-hour flight meant it was about eight or nine o’clock there, just as the nightlife was beginning.

However, compared to Sweet Water City, Secret Phoenix City was a bit too dreary and hardcore.

As soon as he landed, Tang Qi felt the stark difference in style between the two cities.

He glanced at the brightly lit buildings in the Main City in the distance, which seemed unusually calm.

"I can’t keep the success of my expedition to the Ancient Maya Ruins a secret forever. After all, I wasn’t the only one there. A secret only remains so when known by one person. Once more than three know, it’s almost certain to leak unless there’s some strong restriction."

"But after returning to Secret Phoenix City, those who’d dare to trouble me are likely limited to the organization known as Blood Helmet. Given my current relationship with the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Investigation Bureau, it shouldn’t be hard to fend off diplomatic pressure from them. Hmm, I might need to submit an expedition report, which Eva could write on my behalf."

"At the same time, to avoid further trouble, perhaps I could reveal some information proactively—like the existence of Sersi, leaving no room for speculation, making it harder for some events to escalate. Especially since my gains are not substantial on the surface, and with the spate of Mysterious Events happening now, a day or two on the front page of the Mysterious Daily should suffice to deal with it... Additionally, this trip turned out to be unexpectedly rewarding. Some plans can now be put into action, and I can finally be a salted fish for a while."

Muttering to himself these unambitious thoughts, Tang Qi casually swiped open the portal and stepped into the other side.

...

Lake Heart Island Secret Realm, in front of Dragon Heart Castle.

The Magic Portal abruptly opened, and Tang Qi stepped out from it.

Although Tang Qi’s time exploring in the Southern Continent and the Yamada Jungle wasn’t long, the "Black Prophet" was deep in the Vera Volcano, with its unique environment often causing a sense of temporal and spatial disorientation.

Thus, he felt that the view of his own Dragon Heart Castle had a fair bit of difference from when he left.

The most conspicuous among these was the rampant "monsters" everywhere.

Yes, one after another, bizarre and oddly shaped monsters were wreaking havoc on Dragon Heart Castle and, in fact, the surrounding areas.

Faced with this absurd scene, Tang Qi’s first thought was "a burst of monster tide from the Secret Realm," although it was a very unlikely event. However, in the Mysterious Side, anything could happen, so Tang Qi immediately thought of summoning "Diana" to deal with all the monsters.

But he quickly fell into self-doubt.

Because at this moment, what he heard from the children and teachers were not cries of despair or shouts of alarm but cheers.

There was joy in every shout.

Blinking his eyes, Tang Qi finally noticed something amiss.

All of the "monsters" didn’t seem to possess any terrifying destructive power. Moreover, Tang Qi didn’t feel any negative or evil aura. The students and teachers formed small teams, vigorously chasing after these monsters.

Some non-participants were cheering on from the side.

For instance, the most raucous cheer came from the unreliable pirates from the "Gold Mine Devil Ship," who drank themselves drunk and were now floating on the lake. Dozens of skeletons clung to rum barrels, brandishing swords and scimitars, perched at the bow of the ship, cheering for the children.

Some of the "Abnormalities" from the Good Camp living in the Lake Heart Island Secret Realm also came out of their dwellings to join in the cheering.

It was evident something had happened, but it was likely not a bad thing.

His thoughts flickered complexly, but only two seconds had truly passed.

The place Tang Qi opened the portal to was the lawn in the Upper District; he had just steadied himself, yet to understand everything.

But at that moment, the ground suddenly trembled with a "rumble."

Tang Qi looked up to see a "super huge Wild Boar" that seemed to have been magnified several times charging towards him.

This Wild Boar, with its exaggerated size and golden mane, gleaming tusks curving outward, would have been very imposing—if not for the delicate "Seven-Colored Flower" growing atop its head.

Behind the Wild Boar, a few students were trying to catch it with nets or preparing to use their abilities, desperately chasing after it. Among them, a little girl was Little Lioness Nina, whom Tang Qi had met on his first day on assignment; she had grown quite a bit since then, with an assertive aura as she ran.

However, since they were all just kids, they were unable to catch the giant pig at the moment.

That was until they quickly passed the Wild Boar and spotted Tang Qi, a look of surprise appearing on their faces.

The kids halted, shouting loudly, "The Principal is back!"

Others, even happier, cried out, "Principal, help us catch it! We’re having a competition. If we catch this little guy, we’ll win, and we can treat the Principal to something delicious!"

"A competition?"

"Little guy?"

Tang Qi, hearing these unbelievable keywords, subconsciously took another glance around and indeed discovered that a very special "competition" seemed to be taking place within the Dragon Heart Castle Secret Realm.

And the content of the competition was to capture those "Monsters" that seemed ferocious but, for some reason, couldn’t cause significant destruction.

Facing the little guys with an easy smile, Tang Qi suddenly stretched out a hand at the moment when the big Wild Boar reached him and was about to toss him away. He was about to release the Giant Power Skill of the Chaga Fighting Technique when the sensation in his hand made him halt.

With a "boom," a light sound, the Golden-maned Wild Boar stopped.

The "Giant Force Collision" that was imagined did not occur. It was stopped by a single hand of Tang Qi, who had not exerted any force; sensing the "crisis" behind it, the boar stubbornly dug at the soil and grass, trying to push away Tang Qi’s palm and make an escape.

Tang Qi’s abnormal gaze concentrated on the Wild Boar.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Fruit Parasitic Beast.]

[State: Being parasitized.]

[Information Fragment One: A beast parasitized by the Ancestor Fruit, because the fruit contains Extraordinary Power, has gained a massive body size, but this is only an appearance. Before the Ancestor’s Flower withers, it cannot truly digest the power from the Ancestor Fruit.]

[Information Fragment Two: Removing the Ancestor’s Flower will restore the fruit to its original state.]

[Information Fragment Three: This is a fruit that harbors the Extraordinary ’Giant Force.’ It can be used to make Secret Medicine or consumed directly, with a high probability of gaining enhanced strength but also a certain chance of unknown consequences.]

...

"Eh?"

With a light exclamation, Tang Qi confirmed the Information Fragments that surfaced in his mind again, and then immediately appeared on top of the Golden-maned Wild Boar’s head. With a pull, he heard a "sizzling" sound, and the splendid Seven-Colored Flower fell into Tang Qi’s hands.

Below him, the body size of the Golden-maned Wild Boar shrank dramatically, like a "doll" deflated, quickly returning to the size of a normal little boar. Letting out a frightened cry towards the kids charging over, it wildly kicked its hooves, running haphazardly into a nearby wall and happily knocking itself unconscious. novelbuddy-cσ๓

While the kids were showing concern for the little Wild Boar, Tang Qi glanced at the somewhat Apple-like golden fruit in his hand.

When the Information Fragments appeared, he compared it to the original appearance of the Ancestor Fruit in his mind.

The shapes of the two were quite different.

But soon, he knew the reason.

"A Curio: Ancestor Fruit Cultivation Body, a special fruit born after the initial fruit re-blooms, all fruits explode away from the Body at the moment of blooming, and afterwards, they will randomly attach to some wild animals, quickly transforming the host, and re-bloom..."

"Animals parasitized will enter a frenzied state due to the transformation; after a certain period, the new Ancestor’s Flower will wither, and the parasitized animals will randomly gain different Extraordinary Abilities."

"Such a strange maturation process?"

Even though Tang Qi considered himself to have a good knowledge accumulation in Secret Medicine, coupled with the gains from this adventure, he could be called an expert.

Yet he was still shocked by the unimaginable cultivation method before his eyes.

However, one thing was certain, Selma’s "Ancestor Fruit Cultivation Project" seemed to be a success?

With this name in mind, Tang Qi immediately looked up to search.

Soon, he saw another scene that was both laughable and cryable.

In a dense forest near Dragon Heart Castle, the figures of two girls, one big and one small, were chasing a "Giant Wolf" covered with silver-white fur. The Silver Wolf, with a body even more exaggerated than the Golden-maned Wild Boar, also had a splendid Seven-Colored Flower on its head.

Compared to the frenzied Wild Boar, the Silver Wolf was not only bigger but also more agile.

It smoothly dodged and weaved, completely making fools of Selma and Klyas.

Yet these two "Professional Level" strongwomen seemed to have lost their Extraordinary Powers at the moment and were trying to capture the impressively silver-coated Giant Wolf with mere physical strength. The cheers from the onlookers were mostly for these two "bored" girls.

Obviously, they were competing, and they had agreed not to use Extraordinary Power.

It was just that the two girls were overly absorbed and did not notice that the Seven-Colored Flower on top of the Silver Wolf was gradually dimming.

And the already agile "Silver Wolf," while dodging, even began to leave afterimages.

"It has started to digest the power of the fruit, indeed very mysterious."

As Tang Qi uttered this sentence, new Information Fragments also flowed from the Silver Wolf and the Seven-Colored Flower.

His form shifted, and he unexpectedly appeared on the path where the Silver Wolf was about to dodge and flee deeper into the forest.

When the fogging mist dispersed, Tang Qi’s hand already held another Seven-Colored Flower.

At the same time, the Silver Wolf, which had jumped into the air, let out a somewhat large deflation noise and directly transformed into a small Silver Wolf. With a tender-sounding "howl," it fell into Tang Qi’s arms.
