Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 16o: Blood Manipulation

Translator: 549690339 |

The battle between Li Xusheng and the General Terracotta didn’t last too long. After exchanging several strikes, the attack speed of the General Terracotta suddenly increased, launching a storm of thrusts at Li Xusheng.

Faced with the General Terracotta’s sudden change of pace, Li Xusheng tried his best to evade, but the platform was only so big. The advantage of the Electric Fur Rat’s speed could not be fully employed, and he was gradually forced into a corner.

Shwick!

Finally, when Li Xusheng had no room to retreat, the General Terracotta suddenly thrust out with his halberd, grazed past Li Xusheng’s face, and a long thin wound instantly appeared on Li Xusheng’s face.

However, not a drop of blood was shed.

“Xusheng, be careful!”

The General Terracotta, having gained an advantage, did not miss this opportunity and aimed each thrust at Li Xusheng’s head.

Seeing this, Li Xusheng clenched his teeth, blocking the halberd with a short hammer and smashed another hammer into the ground. A blood – red thunderbolt quickly spread, forcing the General Terracotta to retreat to the side.

During this brief respite, another beast was summoned by Li Xusheng.

[Name]: Scavenger Vulture

[Attribute]: Flight System

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord

[Growth Stage]: Three Stages and One Level

Another Lord Level!

As soon as the Scavenger Vulture appeared, it landed directly on the top of Li Xusheng’s head and then turned into a fully enclosed helmet, protecting Li Xusheng’s head.

It actually formed another set of equipment!

That’s quite impressive even for a cross-breed.

Bai Qi watched Li Xusheng’s actions, one pet, one equipment. If he promoted it to the Seven Stage Legend, wouldn’t he summon the war god with seven beasts?

With the addition of a helmet, Li’s movements became noticeably more agile. However, the most significant change was that he seemed able to predict the General Terracotta’s attacks. The General Terracotta’s speed no longer posed a threat to him.

Finally, after some dogfighting, Li Xusheng found an opportunity. A hammer knocked the halberd out of the General Terracotta’s hand, and then another heavy hammer struck the General Terracotta’s chest.

Sizzle, sizzle…

The blood-colored lightning spread through the short hammer to the whole body of the General Terracotta, and the clay shell of the General Terracotta started to crack.

“Won?!”

Seeing the state of General Terracotta, Wang Huai and others’ eyes lit up, already envisioning their chance of victory.

Boom!

However, at this moment, the desperate General Terracotta suddenly pulled out a bronze sword from somewhere and swiftly cut across Li Xusheng’s chest. Li Xusheng was thrown back by the tremendous force that came with the sword, and bright red blood sprayed all over the platform.

“How come there’s another sword! It wasn’t mentioned in the intel!”

Seeing Li Xusheng ambushed by the General Terracotta, Wang Huai was somewhat excited and immediately summoned the Barrier Tree Man, planning to forcefully break the cage and save him.

“No need, I can handle it.”

Li Xusheng slowly got up. On his chest, one could clearly see a bone-deep wound. However, besides a few drops of blood at first, blood no longer flowed out of the wound on Li’s chest.

Even the blood that had previously flowed out appeared to be flowing back in.

Was it the skill of the Blood Armor Crocodile?

It wasn’t heard that the Blood Armor Crocodile had the ability to control blood, had it?

Bai Qi slightly frowned. He had encountered the Blood Armor Crocodile in resource handling classes. Although ‘blood’ was in its name and its skin was indeed blood-colored, it was just due to the environment it lived in. It didn’t mean it had blood-controlling abilities.

As for the other beasts, it was even less likely.

Could it be…

Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng. Not only was the blood around the wound flowing backward, but even the blood that had sprayed on the ground was flowing back. The wound on Li Xusheng’s chest was also slowly healing.

As expected, was it due to the power of his other half of the legendary creature bloodline?

After reabsorbing all the blood, Li Xusheng’s condition returned to normal, and the blood armor on his chest began to heal. However, Li Xusheng dispersed the blood armor, and even his helmet and boots.

“I didn’t expect to have to use Xusheng’s second talent in the end. We’ll have to write an inspection report when we get back.”

Seeing this, Wang Huai sighed helplessly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

“Tang Miao, prepare the Awakening Potion. Inject Xusheng the moment he comes out.”

“Okay!”

Tang Miao also looked solemn. He loaded a potion into an injection gun, his eyes fixed on Li Xusheng, ready for anything.

It seemed there was a problem with this ability?

Bai Qi was curious but didn’ t ask.

Although they got along well with Wang Huai and the others, they hadn’t known each other for very long. Besides, judging from their previous reactions, it was apparent that Li Xusheng’s condition wasn’t something that they could discuss casually.

Come to think of it, had Li Xusheng not used this before while in the Tower of Gratitude?

Just as Li Xusheng shed his armor, the earthen shell around the General Terracotta’s body had also completely peeled off, revealing a bronze figure.

Damn, they’re like a nested doll everywhere I go!

Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly at the sight of the bronze body hidden under the General Terracotta’s earthen armor.

Could you try mixing things up a bit? It’s hard for me to think that underneath this bronze body, there might not be a silver or even golden one?

The General Terracotta, having shed its earthen armor, was slightly smaller, but it was still towering over a typical man, still adorned with runes, gradually turning red, effectively entering a berserk state.

Seeing this, Li Xusheng remained unphased and ripped off his broken battle uniform, revealing his muscular physique, before swinging his twin hammers and moving in for the attack.

Seeing Li Xusheng attack, the General Terracotta similarly swung his sword to meet it. His speed was even faster than before, leaving a sword mark on Li Xusheng’s body almost instantly.

However, Li Xusheng seemed completely unaffected, allowing the General Terracotta to slash his body, while his twin hammers unwaveringly smashed toward its face.

Boom!

The twin hammers hit the General Terracotta’s head, leaving only two shallow dents. But Li Xusheng didn’t stop, he continued to attack relentlessly with his hammers, completely giving up his defense, letting the General Terracotta inflict wound after wound on his body.

The General Terracotta seemed to understand Li Xusheng’s intention and immediately tried to pull back to retrieve his halberd. But just as he tried to step back, he found his feet firmly held by a pair of bloody hands.

The source was indeed Li Xusheng’s wound.

“So it is indeed blood control…”

Seeing this, Bai Qi finally confirmed Li Xusheng’s ability, and almost unconsciously began to guess the origin of Li Xusheng’s legendary bloodline.

Blood control, and mixed blood… It couldn’t be a vampire, could it? It seemed like vampires loved to deceive young human girls.

An aggressive talent, and quite a flamboyant one at that. I want that!

Bai Qi smacked his lips enviously. It was a shame that the Evolution Egg couldn’t be used on humans, otherwise if he got his hands on some Mythical Materials, life would be blissful.

The general Terracotta, trapped by the bloody hand, slashed at the hand first. The hand was immediately severed but quickly reconnected, even splitting into two arms to hold the general Terracotta.

At this point, Li Xusheng’s eyes had turned completely blood-red, hinting at the underlying berserk nature, but his expression somehow became colder.

Berserk and frigid, both feelings appearing simultaneously on one person.

“You’ve had your fill, it’s my turn now!”

Li Xusheng cracked his neck, the blood slowly covered the twin hammers, and then he went crazy smashing them into the general Terracotta’s face.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With each hammer strike, it was as if thunder rocked the air, the runes on the General Terracotta’s body dimmed. By the time the General Terracotta’s skull was completely crushed, there was no light left on its body.

“Tang Miao, get ready.”

Seeing that Li Xusheng was about to win, Wang Huai became even more nervous. Even the Baili brothers prepared for battle.

My goodness, why do I feel like they’re even more on edge than when facing ferocious beasts? Could he possibly go berserk and transform into a silver super saiyan? Or no, a giant gorilla?

Finally, after the General Terracotta has been thoroughly smashed, the cage on the platform slowly receded, but Li Xusheng was still holding the General Terracotta’s form unwaveringly, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Wang Huai and Tang Miao exchanged glances. Tang Miao immediately understood and aimed straight at Li Xusheng, triggering the trigger without hesitation.

Boom!

A crisp sound, an injection burst out, flying straight towards the back of Li Xusheng’s neck.

These guns are usually used to shoot tranquilizer darts to catch ferocious or out of control beasts, so the injection is extremely fast, no evil beast can escape.

But just when the injection was about to pierce Li Xusheng, a massive bloody hand suddenly oozed from his wound, firmly clamped the injection.

Seeing the injection fail, Wang Huai and others all tightened their expressions, about to try again together, when they heard Li Xusheng’s voice.

“Captain, I’m fine, don’t need to inject this.”

Li Xusheng casually threw the injection on the ground, his body swaying slightly. The blood from the outer wound quickly retreated back into his body, and his face gradually regained some color.

Upon seeing this, Wang Huai immediately approached, gave Li Xusheng a quick check, then immediately summoned the Barrier Tree Man to give Li Xusheng a vitality aura to speed up his recovery.

Rumble…

After Li Xusheng left the platform, the platform slowly disappeared into the ground, while another bronze road appeared before them.

“Xusheng has spent a lot, let’s rest a bit before challenging the next round.”

After placing Li Xusheng, Wang Huai turned to look at Bai Qi, but found that Bai Qi had already arrived before the crushed General Terracotta, a look of regret on his face.

“Tsk… The most important head rune is gone, how am I going to restore this? Schuck, did you manage to record it?”

“The runes on the earth armor are clear, but the ones on the bronze body seem a bit different, and I didn’t have time to record them.”

Bai Qi sighed after hearing this and idly poked the remains of the General Terracotta.

“Looking at the situation, I’ll go in the next round after all, it would be too wasteful otherwise…”
