Chapter 342: Chapter 291: I’ve Contracted with a Demi-God! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)

"Mysterious Evil, can it truly evolve?"

"Or did this red-dressed Mysterious Evil consume some kind of treasure and gain a trend toward evolution?"

Fang You pondered.

After An Jianyou threw out an injured Forge Golem as a decoy, Fang You relaxed quite a bit, damaging the red-dressed Mysterious Evil with ’Quenching Thunder Balls’ while also activating the skill ’Detection,’ constantly observing the red figure before him.

The ’Detection’ skill usually only works on targets weaker than oneself, and against this abnormal Mysterious Evil, there wasn’t much information he could gather.

But he did obtain some information, different from that in the bestiary.

It was certain the red-dressed Mysterious Evil was evolving toward the Seven-Star Apocalypse level, but this evolution was not instantaneous; it was more like a state that required a lengthy period of evolution.

Once the red-dressed Mysterious Evil finished this period, having accumulated enough, it might step into the realm of myth... into the Apocalypse level.

But not yet.

It was still at: Six-Star (Evolving...)

There was an even more fitting description.

Red-dressed Mysterious Evil, a half-step into myth!

This was a half-step myth being, and a hopeful myth-bound Mysterious Evil, an SSSR in legends, and all the more so to An Jianyou who was only at Six Senses.

"This is an opportunity."

"Yeah!!"

An Jianyou had already taken out a third-grade energy recovery potion that she currently could not concoct, and gulped it down, following it with three drops of Water of Life.

Seeing this even made Fang You feel a bit of pain.

He was well aware that in order to capture a half-step Seven-Star red-dressed Mysterious Evil, consuming some precious potions and supplements was necessary, but why did this girl not feel the pain?

With the effects of these supplements, An Jianyou’s condition recovered quickly, and although she was far from perfect, the red figure before her was still weaker than a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil and lacked divinity, being only at Six-Star Calamity Level.

Half-step Seven-Star, that was also Six-Star.

When Fang You unleashed his full firepower, opened his Radiant Domain completely, and burned some of his belief as kindling, the half-step myth red figure could no longer hold on.

Its glaring big red dress was torn and tattered by Thunder Light Big Handprint, and it seemed to revert to its normal state quickly—a human height, and looked like it was attempting to blend into the grey mist and escape into the distance.

If it were truly allowed to escape and knew how to hide, it may never be found.

Nor could Thunder Light Big Handprint stop it, nor could the interwoven net of lightning, as the red shadow moved nimbly through it.

"Ghost Control, hold!"

It wasn’t An Jianyou who took action.

She needed to prepare the binding mark to capture this red figure.

It was Fang You himself, borrowing the max-level Ghost Control skill from An Jianyou. Aside from controlling Mysterious Evils, this skill also had the ability to suppress and strongly control Mysterious Evils. Although he didn’t possess talents such as ’Passage to the Mystic’ or ’Netherworld’s Eye’ to amplify the effects of Ghost Control, under his powerful Spirit force, the red shadow in the distance still shuddered, seeming a bit limp.

The next moment,

Three Quenching Thunder Balls penetrated its body.

Under Fang You’s precise control, they did not pass through the red figure’s head, but instead struck its lower body, blowing the legs off this ’fragile Mysterious Evil’. The surrounding net of lightning closed in under his manipulation.

Crackle—

Crackle—

Crackle—

It seemed that some odor was emitted, and the once vibrant red dress was torn and scorched black.

It even struggled to maintain flying.

At this moment, An Jianyou’s eyes snapped open, and she brought her palms together.

"Control!"

An invisible force descended.

The dark domain of Netherworld spread out.

In that pair of eyes, dispersing a faint Youyou radiance, seemed to contain a terrifying world.

After a while,

It seemed like a long time, yet also as if it was just a moment.

The red-dressed Mysterious Evil, which had been struggling all along, stopped all its trembling and stood very peacefully in the air, but it still appeared a bit unsteady. After several injuries, it probably had exhausted its strength just hanging in the air; at this point, even a Three-Star Mysterious Evil could likely devour it.

An Jianyou beckoned with her hand, and the red-dressed Mysterious Evil slowly flew toward her, but halfway seemed unable to sustain itself and tumbled down.

At this time, the Netherworld Domain spread over it; endless black fog surged out from within, continuously pouring into the red-dressed Mysterious Evil, visibly healing its injuries, and its tattered red dress was quickly mending.

Then abruptly halted.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t continue to heal, but... An Jianyou was out of energy.

There were only a few drops of Life Energy left.

She normally didn’t consume much Life Energy in battles, but once she contracted with a Mysterious Evil, it would take a considerable amount, often draining her completely just to contract with a Six-Star level being, let alone having contracted both a Seven-Star and a half-step Seven-Star.

The Angel’s Tear pendant hanging at her chest was already dimmed.

An Jianyou was also panting, her hair stuck to her sweat, but her face bore a smile, her eyes curled into crescent moons.

"I’ve contracted a half-step myth, yay~!"

As the battle ended, the two of them, one riding Bainiao Flying Fish and one in red, quickly moved away from the location to avoid being surrounded by Mysterious Evils.

Yes, they quickly returned to the real world.

Riding on the Hundred-Eyed Flying Fish, Fang You watched the red figure not far away wiping out obstructing Mysterious Evils with a wave of her hand.

From a distance, this Mysterious Evil looked like a human, a human draped in a big red dress. However, upon closer inspection... it was just a red dress. Advisor Fang could assert that inside the big red dress, there was nothing at all; it was hollow.

The true body of the Mysterious Evil was the red dress.

The clothes had become a spirit.

"It’s evolving toward Mythical level, right?"

Fang You asked, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Even if it wasn’t, this is still a revered and powerful half-step myth. Assisted and amplified by An Jianyou, there might be a real chance to contend with a true myth.

Without a doubt, Fang You was more hopeful that the current information and clues indicated at least a 90% likelihood.

The remaining ten percent awaited true confirmation.

Upon hearing the instructor’s question, An Jianyou closed her eyes, and through her contractual connection with the red-clad Mysterious Evil, she keenly sensed and sought, checking its status and changes.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, her face alight with joy.

"Mhmm!"

"It’s really evolving, yay~!"

According to An Jianyou’s careful examination, the red-clad Mysterious Evil was in a wondrous state, akin to the transformative state of humans during awakening, except human awakening was rapid and quick, whereas the evolution of the Mysterious Evil was considerably slow but stable.

An Jianyou said,

"Xiao Hong will need a few months to complete its evolution, and this injury has additionally delayed the process by another two or three months, but..."

"That refers to normal circumstances, and my life energy seems... not only to heal Xiao Hong but also to accelerate its evolution."

This was a discovery she had made while treating the red-clad Mysterious Evil.

A significant piece of good news!

It meant that in the near future, she could possess a true Seven Stars Mysterious Evil. Facing those dreadful enemies, she would also be able to share some of the instructor’s burden.

That’s great, An Jianyou~!

She couldn’t stop curling her lips into a smile, humming a little tune.

Fang You was also delighted for her – his top worker had improved further.

However, there was one issue Instructor Fang cared about deeply.

"Could you find out why the red-clad Mysterious Evil is able to evolve?"

Upon hearing the instructor’s question, An Jianyou also realized the critical importance of this.

She continued to close her eyes, and after a moment, she opened them with a hint of disappointment, shaking her head, "Xiao Hong’s mind is in extreme chaos. It can only respond with a few simple sounds and cannot answer why it is able to evolve."

"However, Xiao Hong’s intellect seems to be a bit stronger than Xiao Xiao, Xiao Wu, Xiao Gou, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Lan. Perhaps in the future, it will gradually understand why it can evolve?"

As she spoke, she seemed to lose confidence.

Even without understanding the reason for evolution, today remained a joyful day.

Therefore,

After returning to the Secret Realm, An Jianyou immediately took a bath and changed her clothes, then went straight to the big bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Fang You’s exhaustion was not as severe. After returning to the base, his first task was to inspect the Secret Realm’s situation.

Prior to this, the Bonfire Secret Realm had barely leveled up to Level 4. Although he had used the Mysterious Realm’s Power, and not sparingly, it did not lead to a ’level downgrade’ of the Secret Realm. Of course, this was not because the Secret Realm had level protection, but because...

"The Tree of Life from Yiduola provided energy."

"It not only continuously expanded the Secret Realm but also merged with it, taking on some of the ’costs’ on behalf of the Secret Realm."

"Hmm, however, if I keep increasing the stakes, continuing to use the Mysterious Realm’s Power beyond the limit, it will still lead to a level downgrade of the Secret Realm."

The limit was approximately the amount he harnessed today.

Then, could he exploit a bug?

Fang You stroked his chin, lost in thought.

...

...

An Jianyou had contracted a half-step myth Mysterious Evil and was currently feeding it. Besides that, there hadn’t been any major incidents on Blue Star recently.

It was only the construction of the fourth base city.

The Dawn Project advanced further.

"Aside from the siege wave at Shui Ze base city, the other three base cities have also faced increasingly larger waves after lighting up the dawn."

The scale of the waves at Imperial Capital base city was about six or seven hundred thousand. By the time it reached Jiangnan base city, the number had increased to seven or eight, eight or nine hundred thousand. With today’s construction of the fourth colossal base city, the scale of the wave was confirmed to have reached over a million.

It wasn’t due to the Evil God’s minions interfering.

It was because more Mysterious Evils were infiltrating Blue Star. As their numbers grew, the Mysterious Evils stimulated within the same area naturally formed larger waves.

For Instructor Fang, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Nevertheless,

"Under normal circumstances, the scale of the waves would be colossal, reaching a million. If that higher being pushes further, I fear the scale of the waves could reach unprecedented levels."

Even though Citina was en route to Blue Star,

Even though An Jianyou’s red-clad Mysterious Evil was evolving towards myth,

Even though Black Blade Brother had also... grown a bit stronger.

Fang You could not afford to be the slightest bit careless – a small oversight could mean the extinguishing of hundreds of millions of lives; he could not afford to be negligent.

After spending half a day dealing with the accumulated Bonfire matters, Fang You headed to the Level 4 Training Field, starting to enhance his strength.

Today’s battle had confirmed that the ’Hardened Thunder Pellets’ were indeed more practical in dealing with higher-level foes than the high-profile Thunder Light Big Handprint.

Of course, he wouldn’t abandon the Thunder Light Big Handprint.

One was for strength, the other for show.

Grasping with both hands, both must be firm.

The ’Forge Refining’ skill was also suitable for others to use; he had to quickly reach expert level and cultivate the skill seeds themselves.

「Forge Refining (Master: 99.6%)」

In just a short period, he had cultivated this skill to the high levels of mastery, thanks to his relentless efforts.

Fang You steadied his mind, exhaled, and his eyes burst open.

"Break through for me!"
