Chapter 289: 285: Great Might Heavenly Dragon?
Looking at the gradually calming Golden Egg in front of him, Bai Qi then turned to Gamma, asking, “Gamma, how’s the balance between Holy Light and Evil Power coming along recently?”
Kapu Kapu.
(It’s almost adapted, but if it gets hit by a spirit force again, Gamma is a little worried.)
“I see…”
Nodding upon hearing this, Bai Qi in the past three weeks since he returned to Gusu City, besides Gamma continuously eating to amass energy, he was training to improve the proficiency of his Twin-Life Contract. After adding the wormwood, he trained with even fewer restrictions, so there must have been substantial improvements.
“Since the Evolution Egg also refreshed the cooldown for Golden Cicada Shelling, we don’t have to worry about failures. Let’s have you enhanced as well.”
Kapu Kapu.
(Gamma will listen to the master.)
Gamma nodded and swallowed the Light Spirit Holy Diamond that Bai Qi handed him, then activated the Evolution Egg.
The energy consumption this time was even less than that of the Husky just now. However, Bai Qi wasn’t surprised. According to the theory of high-level genetics and his previous experience with the Evolution Egg, when a pet’s genes undergo significant changes during the fusion of new attributes or racial evolution, it consumes a large amount of physical strength.
But now, Gamma’sbody already had the “Light Gene”. Naturally, melding with the Light Spirit Holy Diamond of the same light attribute would not require such high energy consumption.
Similarly, Beta just merged with the Void Pupil Amber so easily it must be for a similar reason.
With both pets entering their eggs one after the other, Bai Qi finally had some free time. However, the wormwood by his side couldn’t help but ask: “Hero, I can’t help but wonder why they’ve all turned into eggs?”
” Hm? You mean the Evolution Egg?”
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. Looking at Wormwood’s blank face, he remembered that recently, he had only been asking Wormwood to assist in dream creation and had not had the time to brush up on the Evolution Egg.
“Ahem, we can do away with the explanations, let’s just let you experience it directly.”
Upon concluding, under the astonished gaze of Wormwood, a golden eggshell directly enveloped it. After thinking for a moment, he straightforwardly enclosed Alpha and Delta too.
“Consider this a vacation for you. Hmm, next time I’ll see if I can enter the dream before using the Evolution Egg, so they won’t conflict.”
Looking at the five Golden Eggs neatly arranged around him, Bai Qi satisfyingly nodded, then moved a lounging chair over, grabbed his personal computer, and started leisurely reading Ultimate Engineering.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to read a book this peacefully. It’s comfortable without people bothering me-
Kacha.
Just as Bai Qi was engrossed in learning, a crisp sound of an eggshell breaking attracted his attention. Before he could see where the sound came from, he felt a terrifying spirit storm sweeping towards him.
“This feeling, as I thought, it’s Beta and the others who’ve awakened first…”
Struggling to pull out a metal helmet and putting it on, Bai Qi finally felt a bit better, but he would occasionally feel some minor impacts.
The Mind Helmet, created by Schuck to prevent being accidentally injured by that idiot Beta, although it couldn’t completely defend like that helmet from a certain movie about a robotic cop, blocking around seventy to eighty percent is still feasible.
However, Beta obviously realized his mistake and quickly retracted his Spirit Force. At the same time, Bai Qi received a few pieces of information.
[Skill Name]: Insight into Everything
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Introduction]: Spiritual, discern the essence of things, clear the deceptive fog and illusions, the strengths and weaknesses of all things, all can be seen in my heart.
“Insight into Everything? Is this thing in the Skill Atlas?”
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion as he couldn’t recall a Super Skill with this name existing in the list of skills disclosed by the Federation.
But looking at this skill’s description, it seems like an upgrade from Mind’s Eye. Discerning the essence and seeing through illusions are both similar to the original Mind’s Eye skill. However, illuminating the strengths and weaknesses of all things, could this skill see through the weaknesses of everything?
If so, that would be fun.
Thinking about how Beta could precisely identify all enemies’ weaknesses in the future, Bai Qi couldn’t help but smile. His attention was soon drawn away by another piece of information in his mind.
[Skill Name]: Demon Subduing Mantra
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Introduction]: Spiritual, uses the sound of true words to directly attack the soul, which can cause great spiritual shock to the enemy, as well as inspire the morale of allies.
Another Super Skill not listed in the Skill Atlas.
Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly as he looked at the golden eggshells, which had all shattered but were still quietly suspended in the air. He could guess who had named these abilities.
Although he had no evidence, the names of these two abilities were filled with the aura of Buddhism, completely different from the culture of this world. Bai Qi wouldn’t believe it if they weren’t related to Buddhist scriptures.
“Don’t tell me it’s evolving into a monk wolf?”
Thinking about Beta, after shaving his head, reading scriptures in a dead- serious manner, Bai Qi felt goosebumps all over his body.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Golden Egg exploded, but the eggshell fragments didn’t scatter everywhere. Instead, they slowly rotated around the Husky under the control of an invisible force, gradually turning into liquid energy. Subsequently, they traced out six strange runes in the air.
“Six-Syllable Truth Mantra? Oh no, it’s really going to become a monk…”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but sigh and hold his forehead, not because he had any objections to Buddhism, but because mixing Beta with passive Buddhist abilities was simply making him into a live version of Monk Tang.
If I had known earlier, I would have taught him “Great Majestic Dragon”, it also mixes Buddhism, but it’s clearly much more combative.
The phenomenon in the sky didn’t last long, the energy formed by the Six- Syllable Truth Mantra returned into the Husky, and Bai Qi finally saw Beta’s new appearance. His previous disappointed face twisted hilariously.
Wheeze…
Finally, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, while the robotic face of Schuck also twisted weirdly.
Aroo?
(Has the human gone mad?)
Beta looked at Bai Qi puzzledly, instinctively utilized the Insight into Everything to peek into Bai Qi’s thoughts, but he was completely defenseless after seeing his own appearance on the mirror Schuck created.
Arooo!
(I, my head, how can there be such a thing on my head!)
Previously, where Beta’s forehead bore three scars, a vertical pupil appeared. The pupil faintly emitted a shimmering blue light as it opened and closed. It looked incredibly handsome.
However, for some reason, having such a good-looking vertical pupil on Beta’s face looked terribly odd, creating a sense of disharmony.
“According to records, creatures of the Three-eyed Civilization weren’t born with a third eye. It seems to have formed after the use of some special substance. Looking at the current situation, it should be the Void Pupil Amber.”
Schuck analyzed the history of the vertical pupil calmly. Just as he was preparing to console his own superior consciousness, Beta’s face suddenly revealed a soft smile of happiness.
Awooo-
(My new look is so cool!)
Schuck: “…”
Bai Qi: “…”
Seeing Beta in such self-admiration, Bai Qi was also rendered speechless.
To be honest, as long as Beta wasn’t acting strangely, his serious Arctic Ice Wolf face combined with the vertical pupil was indeed very handsome. Yet for some reason, whenever Bai Qi saw Beta with three eyes, he would always think of a three-eyed dog owner.
Well, that big shot wouldn’t come over to kill Beta for mocking his image, right?
“How do you feel after evolving?”
Bai Qi cleared his throat, managing to bring Beta back from his selfadmiration. After a brief moment of sensing, Beta voluntarily reported his current status to Bai Qi.
[Name]: War Apostle (Beta)
[Nature]: Mechanical/Spiritual (Spirit Power Variation)
[Growth Level]: Four-Stage, Five-Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord

[Energy Value]: 1E8200W
[Condition]: Evolvable
“I see, the Demonic Roar and Soul Whisper abilities merged into one aggressive super skill. Worth it, definitely worth it.”
The Demon Subduing Mantra, a super skill that attacked the soul directly, was sure to have a significant impact. Compared to the previously supportive abilities, this was clearly a win.
And it seemed like the power of the Great Mighty Dragon.
The most important thing was, it finally shut Beta up.
Having gained two super skills simultaneously, Beta was feeling more than delighted, itching to find an opponent to fight against straight away.
But it was a pity that the other four pets were still incubating inside the Golden Egg, showing no signs of waking up.
Aroooo!
(Human, organize another resource contest now. I can’t wait any longer.)
Beta’s three eyes blinked in unison, eyeing the four Golden Eggs in front of him keenly, his profound spirit power unrestrained. He seemed ready for a fight as soon as one of the eggs hatched.
Perhaps sensing Beta’s intention, one of the Golden Eggs suddenly cracked open. It was not Gamma as Bai Qi had anticipated, but a vigilant Alpha.
Creak creak.
(Boss, I just sensed a strong wave of spirit power. Are we under attack?)
Bai Qi nudged at Beta and said, “It’s okay, Beta just leveled up. Hey, Beta, why don’t you practice with Alpha?”
Aroo?
(Did I just say something?)
Beta pretended to be clueless and switched his attention. He no longer had the aura of regarding the world with scorn. On the contrary, Alpha now looked interested, a hint of barely discernible battle intent flashed in his eyes.
Spiritual opponents were indeed rare.
However, just before Alpha could challenge Beta, another Golden Egg cracked open. Simultaneously, from within, brilliant Holy Light shone forth.
Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately stood up and looked at the gradually cracking Golden Egg with anticipation. After seeing the transparent figure shining with light inside and receiving the transmitted information, he couldn’t help but pump his fist.
It was exactly as he expected…
