My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 65

65: Chapter 65: Secret Realm Mutation!

65: Chapter 65: Secret Realm Mutation!

When Gu Xing stepped into the Secret Realm, the scene before him took his breath away.

This was a scorched land soaked in blood.

The blackish-red earth was cracked with countless terrifying fissures, bones half-buried in dust, and the air was thick with an inescapable scent of blood.

What kind of Secret Realm was this?

This was clearly a bloody battlefield!

Gu Xing recalled the information about this Secret Realm…

This place had once been a spatial rift connecting to the Otherworld.

Seventy years ago, the Demon Race army surged through like a tidal wave, attempting to use this as a springboard to invade the present world.

The battle raged for a full three months, and in the end, Longxia Country stopped this disaster at the cost of a million soldiers’ lives.

It was precisely because so many of the Demon Race had perished here that, under the effect of converging Demonic Qi, new demons would continuously emerge.

And to prevent these demons from growing strong enough to ultimately destroy the barrier sealing the passageway from within-
Long Zhenguo ordered this passageway be used as the Awakening Secret Realm for students to level up their second Guardian Beast.

This would not only cultivate students of the National Academy, but also destroy the demons spawning in the Secret Realm at the same time.

A win-win!

“ROAR-”
Suddenly, a piercing screech shattered the silence of the Secret Realm.

Gu Xing’s eyes sharpened, and he saw ten demons with festering skin closing in from all directions.

[Skinning Demon]
[Level: Awakening Tier Five]
[Talent: Demon Captain]
[Power: 60]
[Constitution: 51]
[Spirit: 21]
[Speed: 45]
[Skills: Flesh Stripping…]
These low-tier demons, infamous for their cruelty, loved most to skin their prey alive, hence the name Skinning Demon!

Though these are the most numerous bottom-dwellers of the Demon Race…
Why did ten of them show up at once?

Gu Xing frowned slightly.

After all, not everyone’s Guardian Beast is a freak like his.

Vera’s Spirit Attribute had already surpassed one hundred when she was Awakened Tier One.

But the other students…
Even the Epic Level Molten Dragon Lizard-
Their Attributes were only a bit above 30.

To face ten Awakening Tier Five demons right off the bat, unless the Beast Master had a particularly extraordinary Talent…
They’d probably be in danger from the very start!

Just as the group of Skinning Demons was about to pounce, Vera, nestled in Gu Xing’s arms, frowned in displeasure…
This ugly bunch actually dared to interrupt her cuddling with her master!

A flicker of coldness flashed in her emerald eyes.

The Elf Clan was destroyed by the Demon Race-naturally, Vera had no fondness for this pack of demons.

Besides, now they were even interfering with her and her master’s relationship building.

Vera lifted her slender finger slightly, not even needing to use a skill-
Ten thick vines shot up from the ground, wrapping around the demons like cocoons.

This was an innate Talent of the Elf Race, and as a member of the royal bloodline, Vera’s control over plants was unrivaled.

A few soft rustles sounded as the vines visibly changed from green to red.

Within a few breaths, the ten shriveled demon corpses scattered on the ground like ragdolls.

While a faint light of leveling up shimmered on Vera…
[Natural Spirit (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Two Stars]
[Level: Awakening Tier Four]
[Power: 120]
[Constitution: 134]
[Spirit: 480]
[Speed: 123]
[Skills: Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Natural Domain (Initial)]
[Evolution: Heart of Nature, Spring of Life…]
Staring at the outrageous numbers on Vera’s attribute panel, Gu Xing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.

If Liu Li was a hexagonal warrior with balanced growth in all stats,
Then Vera was a complete specialist!

She’s only Awakening Tier Four, yet her Spirit Attribute is already near the 500-mark…
That stat even surpassed many Extraordinary Level Guardian Beasts!

“Master~”
The little elf raised her delicate face, green eyes brimming with anticipation.

Gu Xing knowingly reached out to gently ruffle her golden hair.

Next, as long as Vera advanced to Awakened Tier Nine as quickly as possible-
With Vera’s current Spirit Attribute…
Just using a skill, she could crush any Awakening Stage Demon Race in her path!

So, Gu Xing’s gaze fixed directly on the center of the Secret Realm.

He sensed with his Spiritual Power…
The Demonic Qi there was strongest-naturally, that was where the Demon Race clustered.

Also the best place to level up!

…

At the entrance to the Secret Realm, students kept rushing out in disarray, still looking frightened out of their wits.

“Dammit!

I ran right into five Awakening Tier Five demons as soon as I went in!”
“Wasn’t it just a handful in previous years?

Why does it feel like we poked a demon nest this time?!”
“My Epic Level Guardian Beast took one look at that mess and bolted right out…”
Seeing these unexpected developments, Ying Bing furrowed her brow.

She remembered clearly-a similar thing happened five years ago.

It was said that time, a Demon Race riot in the Secret Realm caused their numbers to multiply.

Because of that, Qin Chuxue managed to push her Guardian Beast from Awakened Tier One all the way to Tier Nine in just 9 hours.

“Sister Bing, you don’t think anything has happened to Brother Xing, do you?”
Qin Tian had already reached the Extraordinary Level, but since his family hadn’t found a suitable second Guardian Beast, he didn’t join the Awakening Secret Realm this time.

Watching the chaos now, a trace of worry crossed his face.

Although he was confident in Gu Xing’s strength, right now Gu Xing could only use a single Awakening Stage Guardian Beast.

No matter how strong Gu Xing’s Talent was, there’s no way he could achieve miracles with just one Awakening Stage Guardian Beast, right?

The instructor in charge of the Awakening Secret Realm looked suddenly grim, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

The memory of the Demon Race riot five years ago was still vivid-
If not for Qin Chuxue single-handedly quelling the Secret Realm back then, the Demon Race would have broken the seal and wrought disaster by now.

Yet now…
“This time, we don’t have a monster like Qin Chuxue holding the fort!”
The instructor didn’t dare delay, immediately launching the emergency contact protocol.

At the same moment, in the principal’s office-
Long Zhenguo had just seen Fu Yanjie off when a red alert suddenly blared.

“What?!

The Awakening Secret Realm is undergoing a mutation?!”
The communicator in Long Zhenguo’s hand cracked with a loud “ka.”
“Yet another High Tier demon is born…”
His face was grim as iron.

Nobody knew better than he the real truth behind the riot five years ago…
That time, the Secret Realm gave birth to a Demon King Level demon.

If not for Qin Chuxue’s intervention, the consequences would have been catastrophic.

The old principal drummed his fingers on the desk, pacing back and forth.

There were only two options left now:
One, to personally wipe out the entire Secret Realm.

But that would cut off a crucial path for new students to train their second Guardian Beast.

Two, send students with Awakened Tier Nine Guardian Beasts into the Secret Realm to carry out a sweep.

As long as the demons were eliminated before things got worse, he wouldn’t have to destroy the Secret Realm himself.

This way, he could resolve the crisis and still preserve the Secret Realm.

Soon, an emergency notice quickly spread through the campus broadcast system:
“Attention all staff and students!

There is an abnormal fluctuation in the Secret Realm.

All students with Awakened Tier Nine Guardian Beasts, please report to the entrance of the Secret Realm immediately!

Repeating-…”
