The Sacred Lotus Carp and the Sacred Lotus Eye are closely related. A mutated Sacred Lotus Eye can even induce mutations in the Sacred Lotus Carp.
The Azure Lotus Carp in the Azure Lotus Pool was induced to mutate by the Azure Lotus Eye.
When Li Anle revealed her Crimson Lotus Eye, the Sacred Lotus Armored Dragon guarding the Sacred Lotus Pool actively selected the finest Sacred Lotus Carp to gift to her.
Just a few days ago, her younger sister Li Anle communicated that her Sacred Lotus Carp had mutated into a Red Lotus Carp.
"The Blood Lotus Carp is also good; I could take one."
...
On the day of the monthly cleaning of the Sacred Lotus Pool's scales, the person who came to clean was momentarily stunned by the sparse scales at the bottom of the pool.
Why are there so few?
He didn't investigate where the scales had gone.
Sometimes, the guardian Sacred Lotus Armored Dragon would take some scales from the bottom of the Sacred Lotus Pool, sometimes the family head would take some, and other times the supreme elder would take some.
As for whether someone might steal the scales?
That was completely out of the question.
The Sacred Lotus Pool was heavily guarded, surrounded by many powerful figures, and the guardian Sacred Lotus Armored Dragon was stationed there. Who could possibly steal scales right under his watch?
The Sacred Lotus Armored Dragon opened its eyes, seeing the person cleaning the scales below, and felt a bit puzzled. Why has the person changed again?
Never mind, back to sleep.
...
Li Cunxu took out ninety-nine Sacred Lotus Carp scales and added the ingredients for making Slime Jelly, then activated the Blood Banquet Holy Meal.
"Upgrade to legendary quality."
In an instant, five hundred drops of Sacred Blood evaporated.
Holy light shone brilliantly.
A crystal-clear jelly emitting a faint holy light appeared on the plate, with a lifelike Sacred Lotus Carp inside.
[Blood Banquet Holy Meal·Sacred Lotus Jelly]
[Quality]: Black Iron·Legendary
[Effect]: After consumption, comprehend a Holy Skill.
[Additional Effect]: Has a chance to promote the life evolution of a Pet Beast, and a chance to grant the Pet Beast a Holy Attribute.
[Restriction]: Only effective at Black Iron Level.
[Evaluation]: If this were thrown out there, it would cause a frenzy.
Both Xiao Ruan and Yi Yi showed eager expressions.
Li Cunxu patted Xiao Ruan and Yi Yi on the head.
"Don't worry, there's enough for everyone."
"Xiao Ruan, you go first!"
Xiao Ruan ate the Sacred Lotus Jelly, and a light of evolution burst forth from its body.
Xiao Ruan had evolved, though its appearance hadn't changed much—it was still a watery blue.
However, its demeanor had changed; it felt cuter and more vibrant than before.
[Pet Beast]: Sacred Water Slime (Xiao Ruan)
[Attributes]: Water, Holy, Light, Wood, Poison...
[Level]: Black Iron Level 6
[Talent]: Growth Aura (Blue)
[Divinely Granted Talent]: Slime's Soul Kingdom
[Status]: Healthy
[Skills]: Water Orb, Constant Light Armor, Grass Blade, Ram...
[Potential]: High Bronze
Xiao Ruan had evolved from a Water Slime to a Sacred Water Slime, gaining the Light attribute and the coveted 'Holy' attribute that many Pet Beasts dream of.
The Holy attribute, also known as the 'Amplification' attribute, is the jack-of-all-trades among attributes. Holy Spiritual Energy can amplify the power of various attribute skills, multiplying their effectiveness.
The Holy attribute also has strong resistance; it reduces all attribute damage by one-eighth.
"With the Holy attribute, can Xiao Ruan be called a 'Little Sacred Beast'? Not quite, since the Holy attribute was obtained through the shortcut of the Blood Banquet Holy Meal. Once Xiao Ruan evolves again, the Holy attribute will be lost."
"Constant Light Armor, Xiao Ruan actually comprehended it."
Li Cunxu was somewhat surprised and taken aback.
This wasn't an ordinary Holy Skill, but a unique racial skill of the Sacred Lotus Carp lineage.
[Skill]: Constant Light Armor.
[Attribute]: Holy, Light.
[Skill Level]: Racial Skill.
[Skill Positioning]: Defensive Skill, Growth Skill.
[Skill Effect]: Condenses light into a suit of light armor that is permanently solidified on the body's surface. The light armor can be enhanced indefinitely by absorbing light resources or basking in sunlight.
"Xiao Ruan, use Constant Light Armor."
Xiao Ruan absorbed the surrounding light, condensing a phantom-like suit of light armor.
White Spider poked it curiously and asked, "What is this?"
"A holy skill Xiao Ruan has comprehended."
Li Cunxu gently tapped the light armor, creating a hole in it.
White Spider said, "Such a weak holy skill."
"Not weak at all, look."
Li Cunxu took out a flashlight and shone it on the armor. The hole in the light armor immediately repaired itself.
"Constant Light Armor, aside from the initial condensation, does not consume spirit energy for its maintenance and repair. Moreover, it can continuously strengthen the hardness of the armor by absorbing light, making it an extremely practical passive skill."
Li Cunxu patted Xiao Ruan's head and said, "From now on, bask in the sun more often."
He felt a bit of regret, regretting that he had solidified the Water Orb skill too early. How much better it would have been to solidify Constant Light Armor instead, growing stronger just by basking in the sun.
Next, Li Cunxu took out ninety-nine Azure Lotus Carp scales and consumed five hundred drops of Sacred Blood to create Azure Lotus Jelly.
The effect of Azure Lotus Jelly was similar to that of Sacred Lotus Jelly.
After Xiao Ruan consumed it, the Grass Blade in the skill column transformed into Azure Lotus Sword Blade.
All the insights from Grass Blade were added to Azure Lotus Sword Blade.
The proficiency of Azure Lotus Sword Blade jumped from beginner to proficient.
"Xiao Ruan has comprehended another exclusive racial skill of the Azure Lotus Carp, 'Azure Lotus Sword Blade.'"
Testing the power of Azure Lotus Sword Blade, a large bluestone was split in half.
"Such formidable power. Given time, Azure Lotus Sword Blade will become Xiao Ruan's trump card."
Azure Lotus Sword Blade was strong, but it wasn't Xiao Ruan's top trump card yet; at most, it was the second.
The top trump card was the Ram skill, which had undergone seven Limit Breaks.
Li Cunxu wasn't in a hurry to prepare the Blood Banquet Holy Meal for White Spider and Xiao Yi. He felt that using only fish scales without adding other ingredients was too wasteful.
Coincidentally, the top three finishers in the Strongest Newcomer Cup finals would receive generous rewards.
In the first round of the Strongest Newcomer Cup, twelve contestants competed, six were eliminated, leaving six.
The competition for the top three began.
Li Cunxu was the first to take the stage again.
He suspected the organizers had arranged it deliberately, as a Beast Tamer with a Slime was quite a gimmick and a spectacle.
His opponent was Long Wusi from the Dragon Pupil Long Family, whose Pet Beast was the Dragon Pet, Dancing Water Dragon.
"I need to end this match quickly."
Li Cunxu thought to himself, feeling somewhat wary of Dancing Water Dragon's enhancements.
Last night, Li Cunxu watched the replay of Long Wusi's match. His opponent was from the Forest Wood Lin Family, with strength comparable to Xiang Chongchong. Long Wusi's Dancing Water Dragon continuously stacked enhancement skills during the battle, ultimately defeating the opponent's Forest Wolf with a simple Dragon Tail Whip.
Long Wusi was extremely arrogant, sneering disdainfully.
"You should just surrender! I'm afraid Dancing Water Dragon might not hold back and hurt your Slime."
Li Cunxu wasn't angered; this was standard arrogance from the Long Family, equally disdainful of everyone. He had seen it many times in the game.
Ignoring him was the best response.
"The match begins."
Seeing that Li Cunxu ignored him, Long Wusi's expression turned somewhat grim.
"I originally wanted to let you leave with dignity, but since you refuse, I'll help you leave with dignity."
"Water Dragon Dance, begin!"
The water currents floated and followed the movements of the Dancing Water Dragon.
This was the Water Dragon Dance, a complete performance of which could temporarily enhance the Dancing Water Dragon's attributes in all aspects.
Li Cunxu spoke slowly, "Xiao Ruan, Azure Lotus Sword Blade."
Azure Lotus Sword Blade?
Long Wusi curled his lips in disdain. Who are you trying to fool?
The Azure Lotus
Sword Blade is the exclusive racial skill of the Azure Lotus Carp. What is an exclusive racial skill? It means only the Azure Lotus Carp can unleash it.
You can't even lie properly.
